Dave mik Vic-valle toe Deur Andries van Zyl

Avonturier Dave van Graan van Louis Trichardt se stapstewels skop tans weer stof op in Namibië, waar hy poog om vanaf Ruacana na die Victoria Valle te stap – ‘n afstand van sowat 1 600 km. Die 62-jarige Dave is geen groentjie as dit by ver stap kom nie. Hy het in 2014 sy eerste staptoer na Musina aangedurf, as ‘n proeflopie. Daarna het hy van Louis Trichardt tot op Kerkplein in Pretoria gestap, en toe van Louis Trichardt af, al die pad tot in die Kaap. Dit was gedurende 2014 en 2015. Einde November 2017 het hy vir die eerste keer die Namib aangedurf toe hy vanaf die Oranjerivier tot by die Kunenerivier op die Angolese grens gestap het – ‘n afstand van 1 870 km.

Maar waarom al die stappery? Dave vertel dat sy aanvanklike motivering persoonlik was. Hy het vir jare aan ‘n pynlike siekte gely wat sy rug aangetas het. Dit was so erg dat hy daagliks sterk pynmedikasie moes gebruik en hy het hom voorgeneem dat hy gaan begin stap as hy

gesond is om ‘n pynvrye lewe te vier. Dit is presies wat hy nou doen, nadat ‘n spesialis hom in 2013 behandel het en hy nou gesond is. Dave stap ook vir ‘n ander saak naby aan sy hart – die bewaring van Suidelike Afrika se renosterbevolking. So sal jy hom altyd sien stap met sy

sleepwaentjie, die Bart Mobile, ter bewusmaking van onder meer African Anti-Poaching Services (AAPS). Dave se epiese staptog het op 15 Januarie by Ruacana begin. Die reis na Namibië was egter nie sonder voorval nie. (Vervolg op p. 2)

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 25 JANUARIE 2019

Dave se stewels weer vol Namib stof vanaf Ruacana tot by Victoria Valle (Vervolg van p. 1) Op pad het sy sleepwaentjie, met sy Bart Mobile bo-op, vir een of ander rede afgehaak en gerol. Die waentjie het nie te veel seergekry nie, maar die Bart Mobile wel. Dave moes hom eers weer reg buig en wiele vervang voordat hy kon begin stap. Die Zoutpansberger het Woensdag met Dave deur middel van WhatsApp opgevang. Met net meer as 2014 km agter die rug, het Dave bietjie van ‘n rusdag geniet by Eenhana. Dit nadat hy die vorige aand besluit het om homself na agt dae van rof slaap langs die pad bietjie te bederf met ‘n hotelbed en ‘n paar “koues” weg te slaan. “Ek probeer so elke sewe dae ‘n rusdag vat, waar moontlik. Man, die aircon, swembad en bier is goed benut! Ek doen nou so bietjie running repairs en het ook my toerusting

uitsorteer. Ek het ‘n klomp kos uitgegooi wat ek nie gaan gebruik nie. Hier is genoeg cuca shops en Woerman winkels om rantsoene te kry. Al wat ‘n battery is word gelaai,” het Dave laat weet. Dave het gesê hy is nog baie positief en het nog geen blase op die voete nie. “Die hitte en humiditeit is hoog, maar ek het nog geen issues gehad nie,” het Dave gesê. Verder sê hy, hy vat dit maar dag tot dag en word ge reeld langs die pad deur belangstellendes voorgekeer. “Almal wil ‘n selfie neem. Dit vat nogal tyd, maar bewusmaking is deel van die avontuur,” het Dave gesê. Vir dié wat wonder, Dave stap sonder enige ondersteu ningsvoertuig. Die groot vraag aan hom wat hy sou maak as hy iets oorkom, soos ‘n slang wat hom pik of ‘n skerpioen wat hom steek? Volgens Dave is

die Namibiërs se vriendelikheid ongelooflik. “Ek ken ‘n klomp Namibiërs wat my ook volg [via satelliet opsporing] en hulle sal mobiliseer as ek iets oorkom. Die polisie volg my ook en hulle besoek my so twee tot drie keer ‘n dag. Hulle het self besluit om dit te doen. Ek het ook ‘n goeie noodhulpsak by my, maar nie vir slangbyt nie,” het Dave gesê.

Alternatiewelik kan hulle hom op sy Facebook-blad, Dave van Graan, volg. Persone is ook welkom om sy bewusmakingsveldtog finansieel te ondersteun.

Die 62-jarige Dave het hierdie verkeersteken nogal amusant gevind en homself as “ou mens” daarvoor laat afneem. Die foto is in die dorpie Omafo geneem. Foto verskaf.

Man betaal duur vir kabel Deur Andries van Zyl

Dele van Louis Trichardt en omstreke gaan sedert laat Dinsdagmiddag gebuk onder kroniese kragonderbrekings. ‘n Plaaslike WhatsApp-groep het Woensdag aangekondig dat die kragonderbreking wat die dorp vroeër die oggend getref het, veroorsaak is deur kabeldiefstal by ‘n mini-substasie op die hoek van Vorster- en Munnikstraat. Munisipale woordvoerder mnr. Louis Bobodi het later by navraag bevestig dat Woensdag se kragonderbreking wel veroorsaak is deur kabeldiefstal by die

genoemde mini-substasie. Volgens Bobodi het die aanvanklike onderbreking ongeveer 01:00 plaasgevind toe diewe die kabel geknip het. “Een verdagtes het ernstige brandwonde opgedoen,” het Bobodi gesê. Bobodi sê die voorval is by die polisie aangemeld, wat die verdagte in hegtenis geneem het. “Ons het die probleem geïsoleer en is bykans klaar met die herstelwerk,” het Bobodi teen middagete Woensdag gesê. Teen daardie tyd het hulle ook eerste-fase kragvoorsiening herstel. Plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder konstabel Irene Radzilani het

Woensdagmiddag bevestig dat ‘n 24-jarige buitelandse burger in aanhouding is. Sy het egter ontken dat hy onder polisiebewaking in die Louis Trichardt Gedenkhospitaal was. “Ons het hom in hegtenis geneem nadat hy behandeling vir sy brandwonde ontvang het,” het Radzilani gesê. Sy het bygevoeg dat hulle nog moet bepaal hoeveel verdagtes by die diefstal betrokke was. Teen druktyd moes die man nog voor ‘n hof verskyn. “Ons gaan die man aankla van die peuter met, beskadiging en vernietiging van noodsaaklike infrastruktuur,” het Radzilane gesê.

Geen verband tans tussen moord en miljoen in grond Deur Andries van Zyl

Die polisie kon nog geen verband vind tussen die Fidelity sekuriteitsbeampte wat verlede Dinsdag by die Bridge Auto vulstasie in Louis Trichardt doodgeskiet is en die twee Fidelity beamptes wat ‘n dag later gearresteer is nadat meer as R2,6 miljoen in hulle agterplase uitgegrawe is nie. Die 32-jarige mnr. Tshimangadzo Shane Museisi is op 15 Januarie omstreeks 00:30 in sy Fidelity voertuig koelbloedig doodgeskiet. Volgens die polisie was Museisi saam met ‘n vriendin in die voertuig toe ‘n onbekende man hom genader het. Die man het blykbaar vir Museisi gevra vir sy voertuig se sleutels en toe hy weier het die onbekende man hom verskeie kere geskiet. Die vrou wat saam met Museisi in die voertuig was, het ongedeerd van die voorval afgekom. Die moordverdagte het gevlug, sonder om enige iets te vat, in die rigting van ‘n wit bakkie wat hy ‘n ent van die moordtoneel

parkeer het. ‘n Dag na die skietery was die plaaslike Fidelity tak weer in die nuus. Die polisie het aangekondig dat hulle twee mans van onderskeidelik 30 en 40 jaar gearresteer het, nadat hulle verlede Woensdagaand (16 Januarie) meer as R2,6 miljoen rand in die mans se agterplase uitgegrawe het. Die eerste man is in die Ravele Riverside-area aangekeer en die tweede by Elim Mabedengwa. Volgens die polisie is die twee mans aangekeer na ‘n intensiewe ondersoek deur lede van die Georganiseerde Misdaadeenheid, die Misdaad Intelligensie-eenheid, die Makhado Taakspan en die polisie se taktiese eenheid in Thohoyandou. Die polisie het kort ná die vonds en arrestasie van die twee mans bevestig dat beide werksaam was by die plaaslike Fidelity tak en verantwoordelik was vir die oplaai van geld. “…in stede daarvan om die geld te deponeer, het hulle die geld gevat. Een verdagte het reeds vir hom ‘n dubbelkajuit bakkie gekoop.

Deadline for registration this weekend Election News

This weekend is the deadline to register to vote in the South African general elections this year. These 2019 elections will appoint both new provincial legislatures and a new National Assembly, and determine who the president of the country will be for the next five years. As per the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC), what is needed to be eligible to register to vote is a green, barcoded South African Identity (ID) Book, a smart ID card, or a valid Temporary Identity Certificate (TIC). A passport, driver’s licence, certified copy of ID or any other form of ID will not be accepted. To follow up on ID-related questions, the IEC referred people to the Department of Home Affairs (DHA). The DHA has announced that its offices will be open during the voting registration weekend from 8:00 to 17:00. Citizens of 16 years and older

are eligible to register to vote, but only people 18 years and older are eligible to vote. As well as first-time voters who have to register to be eligible to vote, the IEC states that if you are not registered to vote at the voting station closest to you, you need to update your details. Voting stations are specific to current addresses, so even a short move within town environs could change your voting ward. People who are not properly registered will not be allowed to vote. The easiest way to find your exact voting station is to go to maps.elections.org.za/vsfinder online and enter your street address. This finder will supply the address and directions to your voting station, which will be open for registration on 26 and 27 January between 8:00 and 17:00.

The baobab is going to be around for a long time At that time, they reported that little research was available on the cause, other than that they suspected a fungal organism. Research is still ongoing, but Recently, various media reports have stated at this point three new Graphium fungal species that nine of the 13 biggest baobab trees in have been discovered from dying baobabs in South southern Africa had collapsed or died in quick Africa and Madagascar. As with the invasive and succession. Some experts have suggested that highly destructive Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer climate change may have played a key role in beetle and its symbiotic fungus, Graphium fungi their downfall, although research is still ongoing. species are also commonly linked to insects.

The actual aim of the study, however, was to date the oldest living baobabs accurately. Rather than prove rumours of 6000-year-old trees, the study instead purported that the majority of both the very oldest and the largest trees, or significant parts of them, had collapsed or died in the past dozen years. News of the death of the mighty trees spread and links to climate change were reported as a possible cause. While certain species of baobab are listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ICUN) Red List of Threatened Species as threatened, the African Baobab, genus Adansonia digitate, has a status of “Least Concern” on the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) Red List of South African Plants. The Zoutpansberger turned to local internationally respected expert on these trees Dr Sarah Venter (BSc, MSc, PhD) for more information. Venter told the Zoutpansberger that the report had not said that climate change was responsible for the falling of the trees, but rather that climate change might be one of the factors. “I believe the trees collapsed from mechanical failure,” said Venter. “The trees get so big and the branches so heavy that they just collapse or fall apart. Most of the collapsed trees continue to grow for hundreds of years more.” Asked about certain recent reports mentioning newly dated ages The baobab tree is a much-loved symbol of this area and worth arranging to visit while the bigger of some of the big baobabs at between 3000 and 6000 years old, she said that “[n]o baobab has been specimens are still standing. By Jo Robinson

news articles in highly respected publications such as National Geographic and the New York Times appeared to indicate the imminent extinction of these mighty trees. Baobabs are staples for many villages in Africa, supplying nutritious fruit and leaves in times of drought and with the bark being used to make a variety of items to sell. At least as far back as 4 July 2016, the general health of these trees has been a concern. Reuters published an article on that date, revealing a disease that has been attacking baobabs in Zimbabwe with devastating effect. Trees that had had their bark removed by either wild animals or people succumbed first, but healthy trees soon followed.

KENNISGEWING VAN VOORGESTELDE GROEPEISSKIKKING

WIE IS ‘N GROEPLID?

WIE IS DIE GROEPVERTEENWOORDIGERS EN DIE GROEPEISPROKUREURS?

Jy is ’n groeplid, en sal geregtig wees om ’n eis aan die Tshiamiso Trust in te dien, as jy aan al die vereistes van enige van die volgende vier groepe voldoen:

Die hooggeregshof het 48 persone goedgekeur om as GROEPVERTEENWOORDIGERS op te tree, en hulle sal namens die groepe in die skikking optree. Hierdie persone woon regoor Suid-Afrika, en jy kan hul kontakbesonderhede verkry deur die inbelsentrum te skakel met die kontakbesonderhede wat onder gemeld word. DIE GROEPEISPROKUREURS, soos deur die hooggeregshof goedgekeur, is: RICHARD SPOOR INGELYFDE PROKUREURS, ABRAHAMS KIEWITZ INGELYF, en die SENTRUM VIR REGSHULPBRONNE (LEGAL RESOURCES CENTRE). Sien onder vir hul kontakbesonderhede.

Groep 1:

As jy tans ’n GOUDMYNWERKER in Suid-Afrika is, of sedert 12 Maart 1965 ’n goudmynwerker in Suid-Afrika was, en aan silikastof blootgestel is of silikose of tuberkulose (“TB”) opgedoen het, OF as jy die AFHANKLIKE is (bv. die vrou, lewensmaat of kind) van sodanige goudmynwerker wat sedertdien oorlede is, MOET JY ASSEBLIEF HIERDIE KENNISGEWING AANDAGTIG LEES, AANGESIEN DIT JOU REGTE MAG BEÏNVLOED. As jy ’n ander belang in die voorgestelde skikking het, moet jy ook hierdie kennisgewing lees.

Al die persone: 1. wat, soos op die datum wanneer die skikking in werking tree, risikowerk onderneem het. Luidens die skikking beteken risikowerk “risikowerk” soos gedefinieer in die Wet op Beroepsiektes in Myne en Bedrywe van 1973, of enige van die volgende soorte werk: (i) werk in die ondergrondse bedrywe van ’n goudmyn; (ii) werk in ’n wassery waar die klere van ondergrondse mynwerkers gewas word; (iii) werk op die slykdam van ’n goudmyn; (iv) werk in ’n essaiëringslaboratorium van ’n goudmyn waar die samestelling van gouddraende erts ontleed word en waar die massa van inasembare stof van persoonlike monsterneming bepaal word; (v) werk in ’n metallurgiese aanleg van ’n goudmyn, insluitend die verbryseling, vermaling, vervoer en smelting van erts; en (vi) werk by ’n vervoerbandbedryf waar gebreekte rots vanuit die ondergrondse bedrywe van ’n goudmyn na die oppervlak vervoer word. 2. wat voor of op die datum waarop die skikking in werking tree, silikose opgedoen het, of wat aan silikastof blootgestel is; 3. wat risikowerk by een of meer van die myne gelys in Addendum A van hierdie kennisgewing onderneem, of onderneem het ná 12 Maart 1965; en 4. van wie die eise nie vereffen is nie tydens vorige gefinaliseerde skikkings met Anglo American Suid-Afrika Beperk en AngloGold Ashanti Beperk op 14 Maart 2016, en met Anglo American Suid-Afrika Beperk op 19 September 2013 onderskeidelik.

Groep 2:

Die afhanklikes van enige van die persone in Groep 1 hierbo wat oorlede is soos op die datum wanneer die skikking in werking tree.

Groep 3:

Al die persone: 1. wat, soos op die datum wanneer die skikking in werking tree, risikowerk onderneem het; 2. wat voor, op of ná die datum waarop die skikking in werking sal tree tuberkulose opgedoen het; en 3. wat risikowerk onderneem of onderneem het ná 12 Maart 1965 by een of meer van die goudmyne wat in Addendum A van hierdie kennisgewing gelys word.

DIE VOORGESTELDE SKIKKING Ses maatskappye, naamlik African Rainbow Minerals, Anglo American SA, AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields, Harmony, Sibanye-Stillwater en sommige van hul geaffilieerde maatskappye (“die deelnemende goudmynmaatskappye”), het tot ’n voorwaardelike skikking ingestem, waaronder hulle vergoeding aan kwalifiserende goudmynwerkers, en die kwalifiserende afhanklikes van sodanige oorlede mynwerkers sal betaal. Die voorgestelde skikking sal die eise teen die deelnemende goudmynmaatskappye vereffen na aanleiding van die groepeis wat voor die hooggeregshof ingestel is vir: • die skade en verlies gely deur mynwerkers wat silikose en/of TB opgedoen het tydens hul werk by sekere goudmyne in Suid-Afrika; en • die skade en verlies gely deur die afhanklikes van mynwerkers wat as gevolg van hierdie siektes oorlede is. Die voorgestelde skikking is onderhewig aan sekere voorwaardes, en moet deur die hooggeregshof goedgekeur word voordat dit in werking tree. Indien die skikking goedgekeur word en al die ander voorwaardes daarvan nagekom word, sal ’n Trust genaamd die Tshiamiso Trust geskep word, wat vir minstens 13 jaar sal bestaan. Alle lede van die groep, behalwe diegene wat kies om hulle aan die skikking te onttrek, sal geregtig wees om ’N EIS VIR GELDELIKE VERGOEDING AAN DIE TSHIAMISO TRUST IN TE DIEN. Kwalifiserende aanspraakmakers sal geregtig wees op ’n eenmalige betaling van tussen R10 000 en R250 000, na gelang van die aard en ernstigheid van die siekte. In sekere buitengewone omstandighede mag hierdie bedrag tot R500 000 verhoog word. ’n Kwalifiserende aanspraakmaker is iemand wat ’n lid van enige van die groepe is, en wat aan die Tshiamiso Trust se vereistes vir geldelike vergoeding voldoen. Daar word ook van die deelnemende goudmynmaatskappye vereis om ’n vasgestelde bedrag vir die regskostes aan die groepeisprokureurs te betaal, asook om vir die administrasie van die Tshiamiso Trust te betaal.

reliably dated to 6000 years. The oldest baobab in South Africa is the Glencoe Tree in Hoedspruit, which has been reliably dated to 1800 years old”. While emphasising that the subject of what the climate would have been like 3000 years ago in this district was the area of expertise of a paleo-climatologist, rather than her own, Venter said that, over that period, a lot of climate fluctuations had occurred, from very wet to very dry. She said that many hundreds of thousands of baobab trees were still left. “I am glad to report that baobabs are not dying out. The one tree I would recommend that everyone put on their bucket list to see would be the Sagole tree. It is the biggest and one of the oldest-dated trees in Africa. And it is on our doorstep!” The Sagole tree is 30km north of Tshipise. Venter wanted people not to panic at the thought of a world suddenly without baobab trees. She encouraged locals to plant baobab seedlings and look after them until they were three metres high. “Give them lots of water to help them grow fast, and never cut a baobab tree down.” She further explained that baobabs can and do die from many things, such as droughts, even though they are unique in that they can use up to 75% of their trunks to store water. If they are not tall enough, young trees die from over-grazing by livestock and game. Elephants also like to eat the trunk, resulting in the trees’ collapsing. She said that because the trees were fibrous, like a loofah, the wood disintegrated very quickly when they dried up. Dr Venter operates the Baobab Guardian programme, which is easy to find online and fun to join. Her current goal is to plant 100 trees and she has just 25 to go, so she would appreciate new supporters. “Many thousands of baobab trees are producing fruit. They will continue to do so for many years to come, so no threat to them exists from harvesting the fruit. We always have enough for future trees to grow, but the problem is livestock and game animals that eat the seedlings that germinate. We need to protect these seedlings until they are taller than the goats or kudu that like to eat them, when they are three metres high.”

HOE KAN JY VERGOEDING VAN DIE TSHIAMISO TRUST EIS? Jy moet ’n kwalifiserende aanspraakmaker wees om vergoeding van die Tshiamiso Trust te ontvang. As en wanneer die skikking in werking tree, sal jy as groeplid ’n voltooide eisvorm met jou persoonlike inligting en werkgeskiedenis aan die Tshiamiso Trust moet indien, of – as jy afhanklike is – die werkgeskiedenis van die oorlede mynwerker. As jy ‘n mynwerker is of was, sal jy moontlik ook ’n mediese ondersoek moet ondergaan. Indien die skikking deur die hooggeregshof goedgekeur word, sal die besonderhede vir die indiening van eise by die goudmyne wat in Addendum A gelys word wat steeds in bedryf is, gepubliseer word. Die besonderhede sal ook deur die media gepubliseer word, asook op die volgende webwerf: www.silicosissettlement.co.za. JY HOEF NIEMAND TE BETAAL OM JOU TE HELP OM JOU EIS IN TE DIEN NIE.

Senior resident Mr Francis van der Merwe collects and destroys a bagful of illegal abortion adverts almost every day.

Municipality admits illegal poster issue is a problem By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho

A senior resident in Louis Trichardt, Mr Francis van der Merwe (84), has lashed out at law-enforcement agencies for not acting against the scourge of illegal posters desecrating everything from traffic signs to buildings in town. Van der Merwe criticized the police and the municipality for not acting against the violators of the law, who continue to mar road signs, private property spaces and the municipality’s property in town. “I am not happy at all when I think that the police and the municipality don’t seem to act against the villains who are messing up the municipality’s property,” he said. “I find it unbelievable that they are doing nothing to stop this blatant offence. This

is our town; we live in it and we want to see it clean at all times. If this is to continue, where will we be in ten years’ time? Will we still have a town?” For many years, Van der Merwe has been moving around town, removing all illegal abortion adverts. The police had warned him at one stage to refrain from removing the adverts, because it was not his duty to do so. The old man was very upset by the police’s statement, but it did not stop him from doing what he believes is his duty as a responsible citizen. “Now we are not going to really comment on the issue which does not need us,” said the provincial police’s spokesperson, Col Moatshe Ngoepe last week. “This is the municipality’s issue and they will answer to that.” Van der Merwe took the journalist on a viewing tour, showing how much damage had been inflicted on town property. At ABSA, along Songozwi Street, a road sign that shows an entrance onto the road has been totally destroyed by the plastering of many adverts over time. “Is this what we want in this town – will it ever come to an end when no one is acting against it?” Van der Merwe said. “As a pensioner, I pay my entire monthly income to the municipality, so that this town can be clean all the time, but that’s not working out for good.” The spokesperson for the Makhado Municipality, Mr Louis Bobodi, said that it was quite challenging for the municipality to address the problem at once, but added that they were doing their best to ensure that the perpetrators were brought to book. “The situation is not getting better with these nocturnal, hardened people who keep on doing these unbecoming, dirty, money-driven activities,” he said. “We are once more sending a strong warning to those involved to desist from those activities as they would face the full might of the law if they are found. We would like to commend Mr Van der Merwe, who, on a daily basis, keeps removing those filthy stuff marring our town.”

Lucky tortoise gets rescued from “rescuers” By Jo Robinson

SPCA sooner rather than later, both for the benefit of the animal and to avoid facing prosecution if they are reported or otherwise found out. The NSPCA states that when it comes to tortoises, their distribution is not accidental. “It has taken place over hundreds of thousands of years. Different species have evolved and adapted to different areas, and these areas supply them with their essentials for survival such as food, shelter and the chance of finding a mate. Tortoise distribution is very often linked to instinctive food preferences such as succulents and particular wild flowers. A tortoise may starve to death if released in an area in which their known food plants do not occur. Certain species of tortoises have adapted to survive in particular climatic regions. Releasing it into an area with harsh winter or summer conditions, with which it is not familiar, is as good as signing its death warrant.” Protection is provided in the wild for tortoises, and even though they are not particularly fast, they cover large areas in their travels. If held in captivity, they require large areas with

enough vegetation, soil, and places to find shelter, food, water, shade and sunshine. Note must be taken of poisonous plants or substances and hazards to tortoises in particular. These animals require other specific treatment to ensure their safety and comfort when not in the wild, which is why they are best not captured or “rescued” unless a real need exists for rescue, such as injury. “In this case,” said Alicia, “contact the SPCA immediately for help.” If you have any wild animal that may not be kept legally or know of anyone else who is doing so, please contact the local SPCA as soon as possible. “Our aim is to help the animal rather than to prosecute people,” said Alicia. “Please report any such cases without fear of repercussion. Anonymity is fine.” People who come forward and surrender captive wildlife once they realise that they should not have them are not going to get into trouble. Contact Inspector Lawrence Khodobo 082 965 5151 or Alicia Thomas 084 900 5332 at the Louis Trichardt SPCA for further information or assistance.

One tortoise had a lucky escape last week when the local SPCA staff and volunteers were handing out flyers in search of a missing dog. They really do get around into all corners of Louis Trichardt and surrounds this way and very often come across animals being ill-treated or kept illegally. Alicia Thomas told the Zoutpansberger that this tortoise was found in a rubble-filled enclosure measuring approximately one square metre in diameter, together with spent fireworks and not much else on a hard cement floor. The SPCA volunteers who found the animal in this state were appalled to discover that it had been kept locked up there like that for a year already. According to the people holding it, they had seen it walking across a road while on a trip in the Cape, so they picked it up and put in in their boot, thereby “rescuing” it. “Regardless of the fact that some people still believe that they are entitled to keep any sort of wild creature as a ‘pet’,” said Alicia, “this is against the law. If they try to insist on keeping it, it then becomes a police matter and there will obviously be penalties involved.” According to the National Council of Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA), “indigenous tortoises may not be kept in captivity or removed from the wild without the required permit from Nature Conservation authorities”. This particular tortoise was confiscated, and when it was placed on the lawn at the SPCA premises in Vondeling Road, it just walked and walked, according to Alicia. It could not get enough of the fresh grass under its feet. “We are just so glad that it is free now,” she said. After enquiries were made to the relevant conservation authorities for a suitable area to release the tortoise, Inspector Lawrence Khodobo returned it to the wild in the Waterpoort district, where it will hopefully live out the rest of its days unmolested by “rescuers”. Any residents who are holding wild animals in captivity The appalling conditions the tortoise was kept in for a year after are encouraged to contact the it had been “rescued” out of the wild.

Mr Fanie van Zyl (right), facility manager of the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital, has apologised for any inconvenience caused to visitors and patients amidst major renovations taking place at the hospital.

“Please excuse the dust and noise” Health

The management of the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital in Louis Trichardt have apologized for any inconvenience currently being caused by major renovations taking place at the hospital. Facility manager Mr Fanie van Zyl said on Tuesday that

phase 2 of the renovations started on 7 January this year. Phase 1 started in middle October last year. According to Van Zyl, phase 2 will see a total revamp of the casualty wards, nursing station, main entrance and maternity ward bathroom. “Phase 1 saw the building of public toilets, while phase 3 will see the upgrading of rooms

6 and 7’s bathrooms, as well as making the public toilets disability friendly,” said Van Zyl. If all goes to schedule, the renovation will be finished by 15 March. “We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the renovations. We know it causes a lot of noise and dust, but we are doing our best to minimise it,” said Van Zyl.

SPCA gives tips on how to train your “dragon” SPCA News

In response to a request for tips on how to train your cat, Lesley Gaigher of the Louis Trichardt SPCA is sharing some tips this week on how to train your dragon. According to her, cats are just as easy to train as dragons, so she opted to share a few pointers on the much easier task of training mainly your puppy. “Be it a dog or a cat,” said Lesley, “there are a few simple things you can do to train your new pet, so that the whole family can enjoy having it around.” The first step is to choose carefully. You must take into consideration the character traits of the breed you are contemplating to acquire and make sure it will fit into your lifestyle. A quick search on the Internet could save you and your new pet a lot of trouble, and ultimately heartache if the animal does not suit your household and will be surrendered later in its life. In the case of a puppy, you also need to consider not just the cost of the new puppy or the adoption fee, but also the financial commitment that comes with adding any animal to your household. Good quality food, vet expenses (planned and unplanned), grooming needs, toys, shelter and bedding are all things that you will need to be able to provide. To train your new puppy for the normal day-to-day routine, first pick out a name that the dog will respond to. Using a short name ending in a strong consonant that will perk up your pup’s

Puppies want nothing more than to please their owners. Cats, on the other hand, can be a little harder to train. Photo supplied.

ears when he or she hears it is wise. You need to have your house rules decided even before the new dog is brought home. Will the pup be allowed on the furniture? If the rules are settled and enforced from the get-go, fewer problems will occur later. Rewarding good behaviour with positive reinforcement is a sure-fire way to teach your pup how you need him or her to behave. Dogs want to please you and make you happy. They love being praised. A simple “good boy or girl” and a little cuddle will encourage the good behaviour to continue. Likewise, do not reward bad manners. This will only confuse your puppy. If jumping up is unacceptable, it should never be allowed - not even when you arrive home after hours away at work. Remember that dogs live in the moment. Something they did five minutes ago is long forgotten. You need to find a way to discipline bad behaviour as soon as it happens, so that your puppy can make the association between the behaviour and the correction. Training cats, and dragons, is a whole different ball game. As opposed to dogs who want to please their owner, cats are way more interested in their own comfort. Be prepared to be ignored, a lot! That does not mean, however, that training a cat cannot be done. The first thing you need to realize is that cats do not understand punishment – unless they are dishing it out. The old saying goes that you should “let sleeping dogs lie”. The only lie here is that it should have said cats rather than dogs. A comfy cat is not to be messed with, unless you are wearing oven mitts. You should realize that bad behaviour is most definitely a reaction to your actions or omissions. You need to pet your cat as soon as he or she commands it, or approach it with oven mitts. Petting your cat entails certain no-go zones, but only on some days, when approaching it with oven mitts is always the right thing. Some say you can train these little dragons to walk on leashes and to sit on command. I am sure that, with enough time and patience, it can be done, but best you invest in decent oven mi… BODY ARMOUR! All jokes aside, your new family, be it preppy pup or ferocious feline, is sure to bring you a lifetime of happiness, hours of giggles and entertainment. But, most importantly, loyal companionship and unconditional love. PS: The most loving pets in the world are RESCUES! Don’t shop … ADOPT!

Die Bruinhuisslang (Lamprophis capensis). Foto verskaf.

Hierdie slang is eintlik ‘n baie goeie huisvriend Omgewingsnuus

In hierdie week se kolom oor die streek se slange kyk die Zoutpansberger bietjie na die Bruinhuis slang of Lamprophis capensis, soos die slim mense daarna verwys. Hierdie slang is heeltemal onskadelik omdat dit geen gif of giftande het nie en word algemeen in en om huise aangetref. Dit kan ‘n mens egter lekker laat skrik vanweë sy grootte, wat kan wissel van 60 cm tot 1 meter. Hulle kan egter tot 1,5 meter lank word.

Bruinhuisslange is aktief deur die nag en maak jag op muise, rotte en selfs vlermuise. Klein en jong slange vang graag skinke en geitjies. “Hierdie slang is dus ‘n baie goeie slang om in die omgewing te hê, aangesien hy nie dodelik is vir die mens nie en ook ‘n goeie vorm van natuurlike plaagbeheer is,” het slangkenner en -vanger Jan “Slang” van Rooyen gesê. Bruinhuisslange kan maklik uitgeken word aan die ligte streep op die kop, wat van die snoet, oor die oog en soms tot in die nek in strek. Hierdie slange se kleur kan wissel van ’n baie ligte bruin tot amper swart. Die pens is altyd wit of vuilwit van kleur. “So, ek vra groot asseblief, soos met al die ander slange, moet asseblief nie hierdie slang doodmaak as jy op hom afkom in die huis nie. Hy doen jou ‘n guns om die muise en rotte wat pla te vang, sodat dit nie nodig is om gif uit te sit nie,” het Jan gesê. Vir meer inligting aangaande hierdie slang en ander, het Jan inwoners uitgenooi om hom te skakel by tel. 081 217 9213. Vir die verwydering van enige ongewenste slang kan Frikkie Venter geskakel word by tel. 082 058 7601. “Ek vra dat die publiek sal kennis daarvan dat die werk wat die slangvangers doen nie net gevaarlik is nie, maar ook tyd vat en geld kos (brandstof). Daarom doen ek ‘n beroep op inwoners om ten minste vir die persoon wat uitkom om ‘n slang by jou te vang en weer veilig in die natuur te plaas ‘n donasie te gee,” het Jan gesê.

to complain to the responsible official Concerned Resident, Louis Trichardt, writes:

hen our country went to election in April 1994 it happened so smoothly and everybody did their duty by going to vote so peacefully. Now, after 25 years, we have another chance to do our duty by going to vote again in May 2019. But our duty is not only to go and vote. Our duty is also immediately to report anything that might be wrong with the municipal services in our town and area to the responsible officials. These responsible officials do not have the staff to walk around our town and area seven days a week to report when something is wrong. That has continuously to be done by us the inhabitants. Will you be so kind, Mr Editor, to ask your investigative journalists to publish for our readers’ benefit the photos, names, titles, telephone numbers, postal addresses and e-mail addresses of our Executive Mayor, the Municipal Manager, plus the directors of each municipal department and other persons to whom our voters, also before the election, can already do their duty to report problems with municipal services in our town and area. In this way we can all do our duty before the election to maintain proper services. Your friendly co-operation of our newspaper shall be highly appreciated. (Dear Concerned Resident. Most of the information you need should be available on the municipality’s website. The Exco members’ photos and details can be found here: http:// www.makhado.gov.za/?q=exco_comiittee. The municipal manager’s details (including email addresses and cellphone numbers, can be found here: http://www.makhado.gov.za/?q=municipal_management. Even details of all the ward councillors are available: http://www.makhado. gov.za/?q=coucil. Residents should definitely start off by contacting these people and notify them of problems. – Editor)

“Vergeld niemand kwaad vir kwaad nie; bedink wat goed is voor alle mense” - Romeine 12:17. (Ou vertaling)

uigbaarheid: Vers 16. “...moenie na hoë dinge streef nie, maar voeg julle by die nederige; moenie eiewys wees nie...” beteken ook – moenie eiesinnig wees en jouself oorskat nie. Ryp graan buig maklik om. Takke met ryp vrugte buig laag. Bedaar! En lees vers 19. Is daar toorn, wraak en vergelding vir onreg wat jou aangedoen is? Bedaar, en gee dit oor aan Hom wat regverdig oordeel. “Beklee julle met die Here Jesus Christus” - Romeine 13:14. Hierdie is pragtige woorde wat ‘n buitengewone beeld gebruik om die wonder daarvan uit te bring dat ons vir Christus “aantrek”. In Kolossense 3:1214 is daar sommige van Christus se unieke en spesiale hoedanighede wat die “nuwe mens” moet aantrek; in Efesiërs 6:10-17 lees ons van die volle wapenrusting wat sy “soldaat” moet aantrek, hier in Romeine 13:14 moet Sy “daglig kind” die Here Jesus self as die lig “aantrek” sodat hy wakker, waaksaam en gereed kan wees om vir Hom in donker plekke te skyn en met sy wederkoms saam met Hom te vertrek. In Galasiërs 3:27 word ‘n baie treffende feit aan ons voorgehou en die feit is nie iets wat eers bewys hoef te word nie; die waarheid het dit reeds bewys: “Want julle almal wat in Christus gedoop is het julle met Christus beklee.” Verbind hierdie feit met Romeine 6:3 en jy ontdek dat “...ons almal wat in Christus Jesus gedoop is, in sy dood gedoop is” en reeds met Hom in sy kruisdood vereenselwig is. Daardeur het ons die oue mens of sondige natuur afgesterf, want ons het deelgenote van die Goddelike natuur geword (2 Petrus 1:4). As jy hierdie feit glo, word jy innerlik deur die Heilige Gees met Christus se vlekkelose reinheid beklee en vernuwe. Uiterlik “beklee” Hy jou met Christus en jou hele wese versier Hy met sy spontane, onoortreflike skoonheid.

Beware of plain-clothed crooks at border post By Jo Robinson

The Minister of Home Affairs, Siyabonga Cwele, announced at a media briefing on 20 January that visitors to South Africa had increased by 0.61% from last year overall. He said that the figure of 6 852 972 people who had entered the country’s various border posts was mainly made up of foreign tourists but included those travelling for education or business. Cwele said that the Beit Bridge border post had seen the second-highest number of travel volumes in the country after the Oliver Tambo International Airport, with 884 992 visitors crossing there into South Africa between 1 December 2018 and 15 January 2019. The assistant regional immigration officer in charge of Beit Bridge Zimbabwe, Mr Nqobile Ncube, told that country’s newspaper The Herald that they were clearing an average of between 14 000 and 30 000 visitors daily, both in and out of their country. He said that, following a new system of separating traffic into pedestrians, motorists, buses, commercial vehicles and visitors, things were flowing speedily. No figures for unofficial entries from Zimbabwe into South Africa and vice versa exist. However, if reports are any indication, informal border crossing is not difficult. In November last year, three trips to the border post led by the DA’s spokesperson on

immigration, Jacques Julius, revealed open gates large enough to allow trucks through and broken fences, as well as regular routes for the illegal collection and spending of SASSA grants and the transporting of stolen vehicles. Some reports commend the use of plain-clothes immigration officials, while others complain about criminals posing as plain-clothes immigration officials, especially on the Zimbabwean side of the border. People complain that the payment of bribes to the legal and illegal alike has become the order of the day at Beit Bridge. One traveller hoping for a holiday with his family in Zimbabwe had his new twin-cab bakkie confiscated by Customs and Excise instead, after he had paid an unofficial “clearing agent” to process his vehicle’s temporary import paperwork. He now faces a long and costly procedure to get it back, if he can do so at all. With both criminals and actual immigration officials wearing plain clothes approaching travellers waiting either in their vehicles or on foot in queues, criminals of all kinds are enjoying easy pickings. Travellers are afraid of offending real border officials, and so they follow the instructions of crooks, only to find themselves in trouble regardless. From petty thievery to grand theft, travellers both to and from Zimbabwe should be absolutely sure that they are dealing with legitimate officials and consider carefully before handing over either personal documentation or cash.

One of Louis Trichardt Primary School’s traditions is the ringing-of-the-bell ceremony. It is tradition that the Grade 1s ring the bell to symbolize the start of their formal school career at Louis Trichardt Primary. Later this year, the Grade 7s will ring the bell on their last school day. In the picture, little Tino Mukotami (Grade 1A) is helped by headboy Willem Schutte to ring the school bell for the first time. The ceremony took place at the school last Friday. Photo supplied.
