Third wave is here By Anton van Zyl

The third wave of Covid-19 infections has reached the Vhembe region, and even though official figures are still moderate, the real effects seem to be much more devastating than the previous waves. Several local schools and businesses closed the past week as more infections were reported. The latest official figures made available by the Limpopo Department of Health indicate that on Wednesday, 23 June, there were 300 active Covid cases in Vhembe. Of these, Makhado reported most of the cases (162),

with Thulamela (85) not too far behind. In Limpopo Province, the total number of active cases stood at 2 500, with 2 552 deaths. The official death toll in Vhembe stood at 497 on Wednesday. Compared to the cumulative total of Covid infections (12 263), this means that just more than 4% of the people contracting the disease in Vhembe died. What is generally accepted, however, is that a lot of Covid cases “slip under the radar” and that the official figures are not a true reflection of the extent of the pandemic. The past week saw a flurry of infections being reported, and even the Makhado Municipality had to close on Monday. Schools such as Ridgeway rather opted to close until the situation has

improved. At the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital, the visiting hours were revoked to safeguard against the new wave of infections. The hospital also increased their disaster-search-plan grading from yellow to orange, which means that more beds have been allocated to Covid patients. Ms Anneke Stroebel, the manager at the hospital, said on Tuesday that they had seen a definite increase in the number of Covid patients at the hospital. The hospital has increased the number of ICU beds to 12, to make provision for the increase in patients. She said that, at this stage, no reason existed for panic, but they were preparing for a steep increase in the number of Covid patients. (Contd on P2)

The Limpopo provincial government continued their Covid-19 roll-out plan the past week with vaccinations for over-60-year-olds taking place at the Makhado Show Grounds in Louis Trichardt. Those who went for their Covid “shots” said they were impressed by the speed at which the vaccinations took place. Vaccinations will continue at the show grounds from 28 until 30 June next week. Pictured to get their vaccinations on Wednesday morning are Louis Trichardt residents John Kuhn and his wife Kato. Photo: Elardus van Zyl.

Hy is opgeneem in die hoësorg eenheid van die MediKliniek in Tzaneen vanweë Covid-19. Wat sy toestand kritiek maak, is die feit dat hy reeds worstel met ander onderliggende siektetoestande. Dinsdag het hy ‘n terugslag beleef, maar Woensdag het dinge weer bietjie beter gegaan. Chris se hospitaalrekening beloop sowat R24 000 per dag.

Leshiba Mountain Retreats shifts focus to local tourists By Anton van Zyl

Leshiba Mountains Retreats.

The Soutpansberg has many treasures, often taken for granted by its residents. The mountain itself has a unique character, unlike anything else you will find in the country or even in the world. This exquisite beauty and the diversity of plants and animal species have, for decades, lured tourists from across the globe. The past few decades saw tourist facilities developing that focused on this international market. The visitors, mostly from European countries, did not mind paying a fee to be spoilt while relaxing in one of the most scenic surroundings you will find in the world. At the beginning of 2020, the tourism industry worldwide shuddered to an abrupt halt. The Covid pandemic brought with it travel restrictions and isolation periods. Almost overnight, bookings made months and even years in advance were cancelled and once-busy lodges were left empty. For months, the travel and other restrictions meant that even local tourism was near impossible. The international tourism model was one that relied on offering five-star service and facilities, often out of reach for local tourists. It also meant an influx of capital into the local market, which is necessary for growth and job creation. One of the Soutpansberg’s most exquisite tourism treasures is Leshiba Mountain Retreats, nestled high up in the mountains, some 36 kilometres west of Louis Trichardt. Leshiba is a protected reserve and offers a variety of wildlife, including leopard, giraffe, zebra, as well as various antelope and bird species. Leshiba Mountain Retreats traditionally focussed on the international tourism market as a place where visitors could relax with massage therapies, go on game drives and guided walks and break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But Leshiba is one of the tourist establishments that suffered a terrible blow because of the pandemic. “I remember we had guests coming in from the Netherlands,” recalls Kathryn Straughan, the general manager at Leshiba. They turned out to be the last overseas visitors for a long time. What followed was a period of uncertainty, of not knowing exactly what the dangers were for staff as well as visitors. Cancellations started to stream in, and everything came to a halt. “We had to retrench 11 of our employees, which was devastating,” says Kathryn. This was heart-breaking because, in a small and isolated

community, finding other jobs is near impossible for them. Many of the secondary industries, such as the companies providing services and goods to the lodge, were also severely affected. The situation continued for months, during which time the lodge was effectively mothballed, with the work limited to maintenance. As the months dragged on, Leshiba’s team decided to use the opportunity to renovate their self-catering facilities as well as upgrade the old farmhouse into a new luxury venue. They realised that the revenue model would have to adapt. “We’ve reworked our whole model of what we were offering,” says Kathryn. They started to focus on the domestic market, encouraging residents to explore and realise what South Africa has on offer. “There are such exceptionally beautiful places on our doorstep,” she says. Guests at Leshiba are encouraged to explore nature on their own and even walk down the path of history, where the guided archaeological trail offers an enlightening and mystical venture into the past. This trail leads you past ancient Rock Art sites, where paintings between 200 and 2000 years old can be found. Kathryn is hopeful that the situation will change again in the not-so-distant future. She explains that South Africa’s travel restrictions for international guests are not what stifles the industry. “When travellers return to their country, they are forced to isolate,” says Kathryn. This means that a two-week holiday may turn into a month away from work, which is simply too long for tourists. In a somewhat strange twist of circumstances, one of the Soutpansberg’s internationally acclaimed tourism jewels has now become accessible to South Africans. To encourage the local tourism market, Leshiba is offering a 50% discount off their rates. For residents of the Vhembe region, an added bonus is given – an extra 10% off. Leshiba can truly be described as a dream venue that has everything that can be expected from a tourism destination with a distinctively “local” flavour. Wood carvings from the region’s top artists, such as Noria Mabasa, Thomas Kubayi, Owen Ndou and David Murathi, are on display. Guided tours to visit these artists can also be arranged. Their new business model means that a unique opportunity now exists for local people to experience the beauty of the mountain at highly affordable rates.

The third wave of Covid infections has arrived.

Now not the time to let your mask down (Contd from P1) The Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital was also asked for an update on the situation there, but at the time of our going to press, nothing was forthcoming. Statistics made available by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) confirm that the local hospitals are following the national trend. Limpopo has 41 public and

seven private facilities that report to the NICD. The figures for Tuesday (22nd) indicate that 211 patients had been admitted to hospitals in the province. Of these patients, 135 were in private hospitals and 76 in public hospitals. Twenty of the patients were in ICU. Exactly a month earlier, on 22 May, only 48 patients were treated for Covid-related infections in Limpopo’s hospitals. Thirty-four of the patients were admitted to private hospitals, while 23 were in public hospitals. Only eight patients were treated in ICU, all of them at private hospitals. Many believe that the death toll of the pandemic is vastly underreported. The SA Medical Research Council (SAMRC) collects data on reported deaths and uses this to predict how many people would die in a specific period. Such statistics are very necessary for government institutions and even big companies to do planning. The predictions are also based on data stretching back over many years and make provision for a variety of factors. In the period between 3 May 2020 and 12 June 2021, some 170 091 “excess deaths” occurred in the country. This figure reflects the natural deaths (not because of factors such as accidents or shootings) above the expected figure for persons one year and older. Even if the official figure for Covid deaths (just over 59 000) is taken into account, it means that roughly 110 000 people more than expected had died. In Limpopo, the number of excess deaths in the past year stood at 15 303 on 12 June. The province’s official tally of Covid deaths stood at 2 517 on 22 June.

tioned at the Beitbridge Border Post on allegations of corruption on Monday. The were arrested in the North West, Northern Cape and the Free State. “The suspects were deployed at the Beitbridge Border Post to defend and protect the territorial integrity of the Republic of South Africa between 2017 and 2019. Instead of carrying out their constitutional mandate of ensuring national security at the borders, they allegedly connived with vehicle-smuggling syndicates to smuggle stolen vehicles through the Limpopo River in exchange for money,” said the Hawks’ provincial spokesperson, Captain Matimba Maluleke, in a press release. According to Maluleke, the arrested SANDF members would allegedly demand R15 000 per vehicle, which would be shared among themselves. The six arrested soldiers, whose ranks range between Lance-corporal and Private, were due to appear in the Musina Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday. At the time of our going to press, the outcome of their court appearance was not yet known. In the meantime, the national Head of the Hawks, Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya, hailed the collaborative efforts by the integrated team to vigorously fight and root out corruption in the public and private sectors. “We certainly hope that our joint team efforts will inspire confidence in the entire civil servant and the South African community at large. Those who are entrusted with responsibility to protect and serve must never be tempted by dirty money from organised criminal groups, otherwise the lessons will be learnt the hard way,” said Lebeya.

Residents claim that they are often turned away by the staff at Messina Hospital, without being examinated by a doctor.

Verkeer op die N1 noord in die Soutpansberg-bergpas is Dinsdagmiddag erg ontwrig ná ‘n botsing tussen twee vragmotors. Die botsing tussen ‘n insleepvragmotor (wat besig was om ‘n trekker te vervoer) en vragmotors wat sand vervoer het in die berugte haarnaalddraai naby die ou Ingwe Hotel plaasgevind. Na wat verneem word is wonderbaarlik niemand in die ongeluk dood nie, alhoewel daar beserings was. Die beseerdes is afgevoer vir mediese behandeling. Foto’s: Elardus van Zyl

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het ‘n reuse swartmamba van 2,75 m op die voorblad van 21 Junie 1996 gepronk, asook ‘n allegaartjie van kort misdaadberigte en die polisie het duidelik hulle hande vol gehad in ‘n veranderende Suid-Afrika. Wat die swartmamba betref, balanseer ‘n jong Karel Pretorius op die skouers van ‘n vriend om die lengte van die slang te wys. Hulle het die slang op die Soekmekaar gevind, nadat iemand oor hom of haar gery het. Twee weke voor dit het ‘n ander leser ‘n dooie 2,5 m swartmamba by die kantore van die Zoutpansberger aangebring. Wat die allegaartjie van misdaadnuus betref, is berig van die polisie wat stadig maar seker besig was om die net rondom ‘n groep koperdiewe stywer te trek. In Eltivillas het die polisie hulle hande vol gehad met die bekende “Drie Kaart”-swendelaars wat die publiek uit hulle geld verkul het. In Louis Trichardt is ‘n man van roeke-loos of nalatige bestuur aangekla, nadat hy ‘n motorfietsryer raakgery het en by Tshipise is tien koperdraadrolle ter waarde van sowat R10 000 gesteel. Een van die interessanter berigte het egter op bladsy 2 van daardie week se uitgawe verskyn, naamlik ‘n berig oor bekende inwoners Johan van Tonder en Flip Botha wat wonderbaarlik ‘n motorongeluk oorleef het. Die voertuig waarin hulle gery het, het sowat 30 meter teen ‘n krans afgestort naby die Ingwe Hotel in die gevaarlike Soutpansberg-bergpas. Johan het bestuur. Hy is egter deur ‘n

aankomende voertuig se ligte verblind en het uitgeswaai, waarna hy beheer verloor het oor die voertuig en dit oor die krans gestort het. Die voertuig is totaal afgeskryf en niemand kon glo dat Johan en Flip sonder ‘n skrapie uit die voertuig kon kruip nie. Enige huisvrou sal weet dat skoonmaakmiddels van die duurste items op jou inkopielys is.

Residents concerned about service delivery at Messina Hospital By Bernard Chiguvare The community of Musina is concerned about service delivery at their local hospital. Some claim that they get turned away on visiting Messina Hospital, while others say that treatment there is so poor that they often have to consult doctors elsewhere for help. “Messina Hospital’s chief executive officer must make time to improve his employees’ staff/ patient relations. Several patients have been turned away now, and without valid reasons. We have lost faith in how the hospital staff deal with patients. It is turning into a death bed!” exclaimed Mr Peter Mokgoli, one of the community leaders in Musina. The Zoutpansberger spoke to a few people who claim that they had been sent away when they went to the hospital because they felt really ill. Joel Maila visited the hospital on Sunday, 6 June, when he experienced severe back pain. “I went at around 22:00. It was late but I could not endure the pain any longer, so my wife drove me to the hospital. The doctor on duty was busy with another patient, so I had to wait for my turn. After 15 minutes I was called in by a nurse. All necessary steps were taken before I could be referred to the doctor. As the doctor was still busy with another patient, I was sent back to the waiting room. Another 15 minutes later, I was called in to see the doctor. The doctor said that

I was wasting his time, even without examining me, and said that I was not ill,” said Maila indignantly. According to him, the doctor asked him why he had not gone to the clinic first, as they would have transferred him to the hospital if it was an emergency. A heated conversation apparently followed. Maila requested another doctor and, after nearly 45 minutes of hard talk, was examined by another doctor. “This is not the first time I’ve experienced this from Musina doctors. I remember how we struggled to get my daughter medical treatment three years ago too,” said Maila. An anonymous woman who claims to have visited the hospital on the same day as Maila (6 June), said that she arrived at the hospital at around 09:30 that morning, feeling really sick. “I was given the run-around by the doctor and nurses. They asked me why I came to hospital on a Sunday. This surprised me. I waited until 13:00 to see a doctor, and then they all went out for lunch,” she said. “I had to leave to go make my son something to eat.” She still does not feel well, but said she is reluctant now to go back to the hospital. “I cannot face that kind of behaviour. I am unemployed, I cannot visit private doctors.” A media enquiry was sent to the Limpopo Department of Health regarding these claims on 9 June, and again on 12 June, but at the time of our going to press, they still had not responded.

Van die dorpie af, ek bedoel,” vra Johan vir Anneke, sy wange steeds bloedrooi. “Julle lyk asof julle kan doen met bietjie ekstra hulp, veral jy. So, ek sal dalk net bly vir ‘n rukkie, sien wat gebeur.” “Is daar ‘n manier hoe ek jou kan oortuig om nog langer te bly?” vra Johan. Anneke glimlag voordat sy sê: “Ek weet nie, soen my, dan kyk ons.” Johan vat Anneke se gesig in sy hande en soen haar saggies. Dit voel vir hom asof daar verskietende sterre tussen hulle twee sweef. Anneke kyk na hom en glimlag. “Okei, ek bly beslis nog ‘n ruk.”

skrywers het alle verwagtinge oortref. Die hoofstukke was verbeeldingryk en die taalgebruik was op ‘n standaard waar die minimum verwerking nodig was om dit “persgereed” te kry. Soos die storie gevorder het, het die inskrywings egter afgeneem. Die “sondebok” was

is jy goed. Uiteindelik is dit ook waaroor die kompetisie gaan. Die doel was om ‘n platform te skep vir jong kunstenaars soos Lynique. Wie weet, miskien kom die volgende JK Rowling of, nader aan die huis, ‘n Deon Meyer, uit die Soutpansberg. Hulle moes almal egter êrens begin en dit is waarom dit so belangrik is dat ons skrywers die geleentheid gebied word om hul talent te toon. Baie geluk aan Lynique, wat ook ons algehele wenner is van die kompesekerlik Lynique Krüger. Die tisie. Dankie ook aan elkeen jong dame was eenvoudig net van ons jong skrywers wat te goed en het die storie haar ingeskryf het. Julle maak ons eie gemaak. Daar is egter niks almal sommer meer positief oor fout daarmee nie – as jy goed is, die toekoms.

Herstelwerk aan hierdie stormwater afvoeropening in De la Reystraat (links) het begin, maar vorder stadig, asook die herstelwerk aan die afvoeropening in President Steynstraat (bo). Slegs ‘n gedeelte van die werkarea in President Steynstraat is toegespan.

Werk begin, maar vorder maar stadig Deur Pétria de Vaal Sedert die Zoutpansberger in die eerste week van Junie berig het oor die beskadigde stormwater afvoeropeninge in Louis Trichardt, het die herstelwerk stadig maar seker ‘n aanvang geneem. Sommige terreine, soos aan die bopunt van die aansluiting in Boabstraat oorkant die park, het nog geen aandag geniet nie. Die ander twee (onderskeidelik

in President Steynstraat en De la Reystraat) se herstelwerk het begin. Lang tye verloop egter tussen die verskillende sessies waar werkers opgemerk word. Wat ook kommerwekkend is, is dat die gevaar-areas waar herstelwerk onderweg is, nie behoorlik toegespan word nie. ‘n Opvolggesprek met mnr. George Raleshuku (bestuurder van siviele ingenieurswese by Makhado Munisipaliteit) het

aan die lig gebring dat werkers op Dinsdag, 22 Junie, sou voortgaan met die herstelwerk. “Die Munisipaliteit het tans uitdagings ten opsigte van Covid-19 met die hoeveelheid werkers wat op ‘n terrein teenwoordig mag wees. As daar byvoorbeeld voorheen 10 werkers na ‘n terrein toe sou gaan, word daar nou net vyf uitgestuur. Inwoners moet asseblief geduldig wees,” sê mnr. Raleshuku.

Van der Merwe was die eerste om borg (R1 500) toegestaan te word ná die groep se eerste verskyning in die hof op 9 April. Jere is op 22 April R1 000 borg toegestaan, terwyl al die ander op 29 April R5 000 borg toegestaan is. Die twee Duvenhages, Vermeulen, Hibbert, Labuschagne, en Jere se saak is tydens hul hofverskyning Maandag uitgestel tot 29 Julie vanjaar vir verdere ondersoek. Hulle is almal op borg en waarskuwing vrygelaat. Die moontlikheid bestaan dat van die sake teen die ses saamgevoeg kan word met nog ander bestaande sake. Intussen is Van der Merwe se saak uitgestel tot 6 Augustus vir verdere polisie-ondersoek.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 25 JUNIE 2021

SPCA’s bowls day to become an annual event Charity The Louis Trichardt Bowls Club was abuzz with action last Wednesday (Youth Day) when 20 teams came up against each other in the SPCA Louis Trichardt’s first ever friendly bowls day fundraiser. “Judging by how well it was received, this event will most definitely be added to our annual calendar,” said the local SPCA team. Two playing fields with 20 teams made for plenty of competition and fun. Teams pulled out all the stops with creative team names and some fancy outfits to match. From the Barking Bowlers and the Untouchaballs to the Miskruiers and the Sharpshooters and so many more. The overall winners were the 3 Guys and an Italian team, followed closely by the Sharpshooters, and the Willehonne claiming the third

place. The winners of the best-dressed prize were the Super Bowlers of Spar, with the Pure Bred Viviers team being rewarded for the most original name. The Vier Boere Balle kept everybody entertained, and obviously they took home the prize for best team spirit, while the most competitive team was the Thompsons Amaroks. The best bowl of the day went to Brian Peli. Last, but not least, Linda Breytenbach’s many hours of working out paid off – she claimed the best bowling body award. “We humbly thank our community for their support, yet again, making this function the resounding success it was!” said the local SPCA team. “If anyone discovered that bowls is one of your many hidden talents, make sure to get in contact with the Bowling Club and sign up for your membership NOW!” added the SPCA.

Sheryl back on track for Paralympics Paralympics After suffering a tendon injury in April, star para-athlete and World Para-Athletics Championships bronze medallist Sheryl James from Louis Trichardt is back on track in preparation for the Paralympics in Tokyo later this year. Since her injury, Sheryl has been on a recovery and rehabilitation programme, doing a lot of swimming, body training and slowly but surely building up the track work again. She ran at TUKS at the BestMed stadium on 12 June and again on 19 June for the first time since her recovery. On 19 June,

she was really blessed to break her own African records in the 100m and the 200m in the T37 category, notching up a time of 13,65 sec in the 100m and 27,88 sec in the 200 meters. T37 is a disability sport classification for disability athletics in track and jump events. It includes people who have coordination impairments such as hypertonia, ataxia, and athetosis. Sheryl is one of the para-athletes who is receiving support from the National Lotteries Commission and The Sports Trust. On 12 June, she received really great training gear, courtesy of the NLC, and they did a

Nou is spel weer opgeskort. Maar ons verstaan dat dit in belang is van die spelers se gesondheid,” het Gilbert gesê. Volgens Gilbert het die dorp se eerstespan sover vanjaar skitterend gevaar in die provinsiale liga. “Hulle het hierdie seisoen nog nie een wedstryd verloor nie en ons beklee tans ‘n eerste plek op die provinsiale punteleer. So, dit het goed gelyk vir ons eerstes en ons het uitgesien na ‘n opwindende seisoen. Ons het selfs daarvoor gemik om die liga te wen. Ons was die afgelope vyf tot agt jaar in talle finale, maar het jare laas die liga gewen,” het Gilbert gesê.

Unie staak alle klubrugby in Limpopo Deur Andries van Zyl Met die derde vlaag van die Covid-19 pandemie wat in intensiteit toeneem in Suid-Afrika het die Blou Bulle Rugby-unie (BBRU) Maandag besluit om alle klubrugby in Limpopo te staak tot verdere kennisgewing. Vir plaaslike rugbyliefhebbers het die besluit as slegte nuus gekom, want tot en met die afgelope naweek het die Louis Trichardt Rugbyklub goed gevaar in die provinsiale liga, veral die eerstespan. “Ek het so ‘n bietjie slegte nuus. Ná beraadslaging met die adjunk-president is daar vanmôre besluit dat ons voorlopig alle klubrugby in Limpopo gaan opskort,” het Attie Buitendag, voorsitter van die BBRU in Polokwane, Maandag in ‘n stemboodskap

aan provinsiale klubs gesê. As rede vir hul besluit, het Buitendag gesê, is die huidige omstandighede wat betref die derde vlaag van infeksies welbekend aan almal. “Ons kan nie toelaat dat die risiko’s wat gepaard gaan met die Covid-19 pandemie ook oorspoel na ons klubs toe en na ons families toe nie, so ons het geen ander keuse as om dit effektief te bestuur nie. Daarom is daar besluit dat alle klubrugby en oefeninge toe verdere kennisgewing in Limpopo opgeskort word. Ons sal die omstandighede monitor en kyk wanneer ons weer ‘n Return to Practice en Return to Play beleid kan instel,” het Buitendag gesê. Die voorsitter van die Louis Trichardt Rugbyklub, Kevin Gilbert, het Dinsdag gesê dat hulle baie teleurgesteld is

ONS KOOK...

Diepgebraaide Pizza & Basilie Pesto

Deur Denise van Bergen Leenke Burger en haar gesin deel dieselfde spesiale gehegtheid aan hierdie week se resep - nie net omdat dit iets anders én lekker is nie, maar omdat die voorbereiding daarvan almal in haar huis bymekaarbring en dit net so ‘n “gesellige” ete maak. Pizza is immers kos vir énige seisoen! Die Burgers is baie lief vir kosmaak en het ‘n paar jaar gelede ‘n professionele kok gekry om vir hulle ‘n ding of twee te kom leer. Tippie Enslin van Koekedoor het toe dié resep aan hulle voorgestel, en wanneer hulle hierdie pizzas maak, ontaard dit dan ook gewoonlik in ‘n onvergeetlike tyd van samesyn. Almal maak saam en eet saam - van die jongste tot die oudste, en geen kuiergas gaan ooit huis toe sonder die resep nie. Bestanddele: (maak 8-10 standaard-grootte pizzas, afhangende van pangrootte) 1 kg broodmeel 1 tl sout 1 pakkie (10g) droë kitsgis 550-600 ml louwarm water tamatie en/of soetrissie, vir ‘n rukkie heel oor ‘n gasbrander óf in die oond gerooster (opsioneel) knoﬀelhuisie speserye na smaak Parmesaan kaas

Smeer ‘n skoon bak liggies met olie. Plaas die deeg daarin en smeer die bokant van die deeg ook liggies met olie, sodat dit nie uitdroog nie. Bedek die bak met ‘n doek of kleefplastiek en laat die deeg rys tot dubbel die grootte. (Die deeg kan ook oornag in ‘n yskas staan). Wanneer dit reg is, knie die deeg af. Vorm balletjies en rol pizzas van ongeveer 2-3 mm dik, so groot soos jou pan, uit (pannekoek-grootte werk lekker). Hulle hoef nie perfek rond te wees nie. Verhit kookolie in ‘n diep pan (sowat 5 cm diep) op die stoof. Sodra die olie warm is, braai die deeg (amper soos ‘n vetkoek) vir ongeveer 20-30 sekondes, of tot ligbruin van kleur, aan elke kant (sodra die deeg lugblasies maak is dit gereed om om te draai).

Dr Casper Venter spring eersdaags weg vir deelname aan sy tweede Freedom Challenge bergfietswedren oor ‘n afstand van 2 150 km. Vanjaar gaan hy poog om die uitdaging in 15 dae te voltooi. Tydens sy eerste deelname aan die uitdaging in 2012 het hy die wedren voltooi in 19 dae en agt ure. Meegaande foto van hom is tydens die 2012 uitdaging geneem. Foto: Andrew King.

Casper wil Freedom Challenge die keer in 15 dae “kaftrap”

Nota: As jy nie die deeg self wil maak nie, koop dit sommer! Die gekoopte deeg is gewoonlik ietwat natter. Knie net bietjie meel by om ‘n lekker pizzadeeg te maak. Sodra die pizza gaar is, en terwyl dit nog lekker warm is, smeer egte botter of olyfolie aan die bokant. Sny die geroosterde tamatie en/of soetrissie in die helfte oop en smeer dit, asook ‘n rou knoffelhuisie, oor die pizza – net vir die smaak daarvan, en geur dan verder met speserye na smaak (Veggie Spice, oreganum, sout en peper werk vir die Burgers). Laastens, smeer Basilie Pesto bo-oor, gevolg deur ‘n bietjie gerasperde Parmesaan kaas, en viola! (Dit is ook lekker met balsamiese asyn oorgesprinkel). Hoe om die Basilie Pesto te maak: ½ koppie macadamianeute 2 el bruin asyn 2 pakkies vars basilieblare 1 el bruinsuiker 2 el gerasperde Parmesaan kaas ¼ koppie olyfolie Meng alles saam in ‘n elektriese menger, en bedien. Dié pizzas kan natuurlik ook volgens smaak aangepas word. Dun repies braaivleis bo-op, byvoorbeeld, smaak ook heerlik! Leenke woon tans op Levubu maar het op Louis Trichardt grootgeword. Nadat sy aan Hoërskool Louis Trichardt gematrikuleer het, het sy LLB aan TUKS gaan studeer. Aan die einde van haar finale jaar op universiteit trou sy met haar hoërskool-liefde, Jaco Burger, en hulle kom vestig hulle weer op Louis Trichardt, waar alles vir hulle begin het. Hulle het vier pragtige dogtertjies en Leenke is bevoorreg om ‘n voltydse mamma vir hulle te kan wees. Hierdie vrolike gesinnetjie is groot aanhangers van die Australiese Masterchef op TV en ‘speel’ dan Masterchef in die huis. Maar omdat sy lief daarvoor is om kreatief te wees, bak Leenke eerder koekies as wat sy kook. Gedurende die grendeltydperk het sy begin om koekies met ‘Royal icing’ te versier, en wat aanvanklik as ‘n stokperdjie begin het, het toe sommer ontaard in haar eie klein onderneming, genaamd Whisk. Sy is ook baie lief vir fotografie en neem al vir die afgelope 12 jaar foto’s onder die naam Maya-Lee Photography. Leenke se grootste hartstog is natuurlik haar meisiekinders, en haar strewe in die lewe is om vir hulle die beste ma te wees wat sy kan wees. “In alles wat ek doen en hoe ek lewe, wil ek vir hulle die beste voorbeeld wees,” sê sy.

Deur Andries van Zyl Hardebaard bergfietsryer Dr Casper Venter van Louis Trichardt staan weereens slaggereed vir deelname aan een van Suid-Afrika - indien nie die hele suidelike Afrika nie - se taaiste bergfietswedrenne, die moordende Freedom Challenge Race Across South Africa oor ‘n afstand van 2 150 km. Die eerste groep bergfietsryers het reeds Maandag, 21 Junie, in Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal weggespring, met die wedren wat 26 dae later by Wellington in die Wes-Kaap eindig. “Hulle spring in groepe (batches) weg, met die stadiger ouens wat eerste wegspring en die vinnige ouens laaste. Elke dag spring daar ‘n groep weg,” het Casper gesê. Hy is in die groep wat op 1 Julie wegspring. Die 54-jarige Casper gaan vir die tweede keer aan hierdie uitdaging deelneem. Die vorige keer was in 2012, toe hy die uitdaging in 19 dae en agt ure voltooi het. Vanjaar, het Casper gesê, wil hy probeer om die uitdaging in 15 dae te voltooi. Die rekord vir die uitdaging is nege dae en 22 uur. “Die ‘Holy Grail’ is om dit onder 10 dae te doen, en dit is verlede jaar die eerste keer reggekry in die 20-jarige bestaan van die wedren,” het Casper gesê. Sommige mense meen egter dié “rekord” kan nie aanvaar word nie, omdat die wedren verlede jaar in Oktober en nie in Junie gery is nie weens die Covid-19 pandemie. “So, daar is bietjie kontroversie daarom, want die dae is langer en jy kon langer in die donker ry,” het 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0TDI Comfortline R-line DSG

Casper gesê. Die warmer weersomstandighede het dit ook meer gunstig vir die ryers gemaak. Tog het dit ‘n uitsonderlike poging gevat van die wenners om dit onder 10 ure te doen. “Om dit te kan doen, moet jy gemiddeld 200 km per dag ry en dit is nie mooi paaie nie,” het Casper gesê. In totaal sal deelnemers 33 000 m (ja, 33 km!) tydens die uitdaging klim. Casper self sal gemiddeld 143 km per dag moet ry om die wedren in 15 dae te voltooi. Wat die wedren uniek maak, is die navigasie. Geen elektroniese apparate soos GPS’e word toegelaat nie en deelnemers gebruik ‘n kaart om hulle van een kontrolepunte na ‘n volgende te neem. Al wat toegelaat word, is ‘n instrument wat afstand kan meet. Deelnemers kan darem so elke 100 km by ‘n ondersteuningstasie aandoen waar hulle iets kan eet, drink, rus of dalk ‘n bietjie slaap. Vir slaap is daar egter nie altyd tyd nie. Sommige ryers ry by twee of drie van hierdie stasies verby voordat hulle ‘n blaaskans vat “Die ernstige ouens ry gewoonlik so 20 ure en slaap vier elke dag. Ek gaan probeer om so 18 ure te ry, twee ure uit die saal te spandeer en so vier ure te slaap,” het Casper gesê. Casper sê egter dat jou beplanning en vordering alles van die weer afhang. “As die weer sleg is, belemmer dit jou erg. Mens weet nooit hoe dit gaan nie, want daar is te veel faktore wat buite jou beheer is. So jy moet net gesond bly, jou fiets reg hou en die weer moet saamspeel, dan sal jy goed ry,” het Casper gesê.
