Kindermolesteerder meen hy is onskuldig Die man wat sy stiefdogter seksueel misbruik het en die misdrywe op sy selfoonkamera afgeneem het, meen steeds hy is onskuldig.

Die man, wat intussen 36 geword het, het alreeds 17 maande van sy 85-jaar-lange tronkstraf begin uitdien. Hy het op 8 Februarie vanjaar ‘n petisie by die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria ingedien om

Rumours not true about tank fines

Rumours that residents with emergency water tanks will be fined was refuted by both the Makhado Municipality and the Soutpansberg Rate Payers Association (SRPA) this week.

The rumour that the municipality took a deci­ sion to fine residents who fill their emergency water tanks with municipal water, spread like wild fire throughout Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

Residents’ minds were put at ease by the mu­ nicipal manager, Mr Sakkie Mutshunyali, this week. He said that the municipality had no such plans. He was, however, unwilling to comment on whether the municipality was considering instituting fines in the future.

The SRPA was also asked whether they were aware of the rumour, with SRPA chairperson Mr Phillip Olivier indicating that they had no knowl­ edge of it. He added that, as far as he knew, residents were still free to install water tanks on their property, provided that it was not on or before the municipal meter or pipe connection.

Residents’ fears regarding possible fines for filling their water tanks are not unfounded.

During a public meeting regarding the town’s continued water problems, the municipality’s di­ rector of technical services, Mr Thivo Ralulimi, blamed residents who fill their water tanks with municipal water for contributing to the town’s water crisis.

toestemming te kry om te appelleer teen beide sy skuldigbevinding én vonnis.

Die Hooggeregshof het op 26 September sy petisie toegestaan en die man sou Maandag ‘n borgaansoek in die Louis Trichardt Streekshof bring, hangende sy appèlaansoek. Omdat die meisie steeds minderjarig is, mag die man se identiteit nie gepubliseer word weens die seksuele aard van die misdrywe.

Die man is in Junie verlede jaar hier tot drie lew­ enslange termyne gevonnis. Hy het tereggestaan op drie klagte van verkragting, een van seksuele aanranding, een van die vervaardiging van kinder­ pornografie, een klag van die vertoon van kinder­ pornografie aan ‘n minderjarige en ‘n klag van die seksuele voorbereiding van ‘n minderjarige. Dié klagte is na sy arrestasie in 2009 teen hom gebring, nadat die ma van die meisie – wat toe 11 jaar oud was – eksplisiete en naakfoto’s van haar dogter op die gesin se rekenaar ontdek het.

Tydens hofverrigtinge het die meisie getuig dat haar stiefpa haar by meer as 10 geleenthede onsedelik betas het en pornografie aan haar gewys het. Die man het seksfoto’s geneem van sy eie en die meisie se geslagsdele. By een geleentheid het hy ook ‘n pornografiese tuisvideo van homself en die dogtertjie se ma aan haar gewys.

In sy petisie-aansoek het die man aangevoer dat die Staat sy grondwetlike regte geskend het.

Hy voer aan dat die Staat bewyse en getuienis, dat hy nie die gesiglose man op die foto’s is nie, geïgnoreer het. Die man het verwys na sy slui­ tings­argument in sy verhoor toe hy op ‘n in loco inspeksie aangedring het om te bewys dat dit nie sy geslagsdeel op die seksfoto’s is nie. Hy meen die opinie van ‘n mediese deskundige moes ingeroep geword het.

Verder het die man ook aangevoer dat die Staat nie bo redelike twyfel verkragting op die foto’s bewys het nie. Volgens hom kan die dade op die foto’s eerder as seksuele aanranding beskryf word.

Intussen bly die man in aanhouding. Sy saak is uitgestel tot 3 Desember, waarna sy borgaansoek na verwagting afgehandel sal word.

Hierdie boorgat staan nie in gevaar om ge­v an­d aliseer te word nie, aangesien die boorgattoerusting veilig in ‘n sementkas met ‘n staaldeksel geberg is. Dit staan bekend as boorgat 12 en is geleë in die Rietvlei are wes van Makhado (Louis Trichardt). In die agtergrond kan een van die oranje staalstrukture gesien word wat by elke boorgat teenwoordig is. Die struktuur bevat ‘n elektroniese sekuriteitsisteem met monitors wat dadelik waarsku as daar met die boorgattoerusting gepeuter word.

Ongelukkig is die toerusting buite werking, omdat dit nie in stand gehou is nie.

Deur Linda van der Westhuizen

Sekuriteit by die munisipale boorgate net wes van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) is van kardinale belang in die stryd om watervoorsiening aan die dorp te herstel.

Die Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit (VDM) gaan tydens die aanpassing van die begroting in Desember daarna kyk om vir sekuriteit by die boorgate te begroot.

Daar was vantevore ‘n elektroniese sekuriteit­ sisteem, met monitors wat dadelik gewaarsku het as daar met die boorgattoerusting gepeuter word.

Terwyl die monitors goed gefunksioneer het, het die vlaag van vandalisme by die boorgate gestop.

Dié toerusting is steeds by elke boorgat te sien, maar is buite werking weens ‘n gebrek aan onder­ houd en omdat die batterye nie in stand gehou word nie. Diefstal van koperkabels by transformators en boorgatpompe was vervolgens weer aan die orde van die dag.

Herstelwerk by die boorgate het geskied teen ‘n koste van R2.4 miljoen, maar asof die koper­ draaddiewe net gewag het vir ‘n nuwe besending, het hulle binne ‘n maand of wat weer ingeklim en groot skade veroorsaak. Inwoners het dit deeglik ontgeld met droë krane.

Die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereni­ ging (SBBV) het hulle vir jare lank beywer vir beveiligde boorgate en het in Maart verlede jaar reeds gesê dat die waterkrisis ‘n mensgemaakte instandhoudings- en bestuurskrisis is.

Die Demokratiese Alliansie het ook hul sterk uitgespreek dat die munisipaliteit hulle stelsels moet be­skerm.

AfriForum is die jongste organisasie wat hul stem bygevoeg het en by elke geleentheid en ont­ moeting met munisipale amptenare die sekuri­teit van die boorgate beklemtoon. Verskeie inwo­ners het by die waterkrisisvergadering op 18 Julie gesê dat dit onaanvaarbaar is dat die munisipaliteit nie hul boorgate beveilig nie.

“Op die oomblik het ons nie genoeg fondse om elke enkele boorgat te beveilig nie. Die R2.4 miljoen is in die drein af. Ons gaan egter by die Desember begrotingsaanpassing probeer om ‘n begroting vir die beveiliging van die boorgate te kry,” het mnr. Frederick Tshivengwa, tegniese bestuurder van die VDM, Maandag gesê.

Tshivengwa het bygevoeg dat sekuriteitsper­ soneel binne die VDM sal kan aansoek doen vir sekuriteitsposte by die dorp se boorgate, sodra die Raad die aangepaste begroting goedgekeur het.

“Hulle sal dan in Februarie aangestel kan word.

Ons verwag ook om uiteindelik terug te gaan na die elektroniese sisteem van monitering by die boorgate, maar ons sal ook fisiese personeel aanstel.

Ons sal nooit te veel sekuriteit daar kan hê nie,” het Tshivengwa gesê.

Eduan van der Westhuizen, seun van Jan en Linda van der Westhuizen van Makhado (Louis Trichardt), en Charné, dogter van Neels en Karen Brits van Kemptonpark, het op 23 November aan mekaar trou beloof. Dié huweliksgeleentheid het by die Diamond Hill Country Venue buite Pretoria plaasgevind. Die paartjie sal hulle in Pretoria vestig.

Municipal News

Municipality tackles streets In recent weeks, employees of the Makhado Municipality have been spotted, busily fixing roads in town.

Municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi confirmed this week that the municipality has embarked on a special programme to fix some of the most dilapidated streets in town.

Streets that form part of the pro­ gramme include Protea, Waterbessie, Stubbs, Munnik and Anderson. Re­ pair work includes general cleaning

and the installation of concrete curbs and road markings. In some cases, like Waterbessie Street, large parts have been re-tarred.

Other streets that will also receive some much-needed attention will be President and Grobler Street.

In addition, signboards that were uprooted during the freak storm that swept through the town in the begin­ ning of November are also being fixed, together with the streets.

Competition

This year’s winners are ...

The Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror are proud to announce the winners of their annual calendar photo competition.

This year’s competition again did not disappoint when it came to the number of quality entries.

Overall, just more than 200 entries were received. It was amazing to see to what lengths some of the photographers went to get that perfect picture.

Photographer Len Dames sent in a brilliant portfolio of pictures, with three of his pictures being chosen for the calendar. He takes home R1 500. The only other local photographer to produce more than one winning entry was Pietman Muller, with two of his photo’s selected, earning him R1 000.

The other winners, each win­ ning R500, were Wouter Veld­ man, Freddie de Swardt, Pierre Thomas, Sharon Ward, Pravir Patel, Peet Snyder and Eben van de Vyver.

Congratulations to all the winners. All will be contacted within the next week. Thank you also to all who had submitted entries. As mentioned, the A2size calendars will be used by the Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror for marketing purposes.

The calendars will also be sold to the public at a minimal fee of R40 and will be available from 6 December.

The accompanying photos were the winning entries. With them appear the month which they will represent in the calendar and the photographer’s name.

March – Photographer: Pierre Thomas.

The Anns thanked all the partici­ pating stores for their donations and goodwill towards supporting this worthy cause, as well as Leach Printer for printing the tickets free of charge.

Bookings can only be made with Mrs Bea Re­ imer between 18:30 and 19:00 or with Lawrence Khodobo during the day between 08:00 and 16:00.

Mnr. Joe Fourie van Makhado (Louis Tri­ chardt) is Maandag, 19 November, na ‘n kort siekbed in die ouderdom van 65 jaar oorlede. Oom Joe, soos hy alom bekend was, sal onthou word vir sy jarelange verbintenis met die plaaslike Coca-Cola depot. Hy het ook vir ‘n tydperk opgetree as voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Dorpswag. Wyle oom Joe is verlede Vrydag vanuit die PPKgemeente hier begrawe. Hy word oorleef deur sy eggenote Marietjie, twee dogters, ‘n skoonseun en drie kleinkinders. Foto verskaf.

phone and presume your booking has been ac­ cepted. It will not be accepted. We also ask that you do not leave a message with one of the kennel staff,” said Reimer.

All pets, cats and dogs, must be inoculated, dewormed and bathed or dipped before coming into the kennels.

“We will need proof of yearly inoculations, as well as rabies inoculation when you bring your pet in,” said Reimer.

Inoculation must take place 10 days before the pet is brought to the kennels. Reimer and Khodobo must also be made aware of pets on medication while these are at the kennels.

“If you intend leaving your pets at home during the holiday, please make adequate arrangements with a reliable person for them. Remember, there will be fireworks while you are away, so be pre­ pared,” Reimer warned.

The boarding fees are R40 per dog per day and R30 per cat per day. Office hours at the kennels are Monday to Friday from 08:00 until 17:00 and Saturdays from 08:00 until 13:00. The kennels are closed on Sundays and public holidays. People bringing their pets must do so within business hours. Pets left at the kennels over the weekend must be picked up on Monday, unless arrangements are made before the time.

The SPCA is also in need of books and maga­ zines, as well as jumble (clothes, shoes, toys, kitchen utensils, ornaments and any other jumble) for the frequent jumble and book sales.

Goods can be dropped off at the kennels along the Vondeling Road between 08:00 and 16:00.

They also do recycling, so glass bottles, newspa­ pers, magazines, anything plastic, tins or office paper are welcome.

For those wishing to make a donation, the local SPCA’s banking details are SPCA Louis Trichardt, Standard Bank, account number 282374639 and branch code 052 549.

For more information, phone Bea at 082 424 5712, Lawrence at 082 965 5151 or the kennels at 015 516 0427.

New Hyundai i30 remains popular Dawie Schlebusch, sales manager of Hyundai Motors in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), next to the new generation Hyundai i30.

Motoring

Thousands of “heroes” support drive The results are in from the October “Be A Hero” blood donation campaign run by Tiger Wheel & Tyre and the South African National Blood Service (SANBS).

In total, 89 306 generous individuals stuck out their arms and gave of their blood for this worthiest of causes.

“Though we’ve been running this campaign with SANBS for many years now, every year we are humbled by the staggering number of people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and donate blood. They are heroes, each and every one of them, and it was our profound pleasure to offer each donor a

voucher for free wheel balancing at any Tiger Wheel & Tyre store,” says Joe du Plooy, marketing executive of Tiger Wheel & Tyre.

The nationwide campaign, which ran from 1 to 31 October, is a vital part of the SANBS’s annual efforts to shore up its blood supplies in advance of the high-demand festive season, and with the fact that one pint of blood can save three lives, the need to increase dona­ tions at this time is even more pressing.

Donors were encouraged to donate blood at any one of the SANBS’s countrywide fixed donor sites or at one of the many mobile donor sites whose

whereabouts are updated regularly on the SANBS website. To encourage donation and reward heroic donors, Tiger Wheel & Tyre ran a competition where donors could SMS their donor number to stand a chance of winning a R5 000, R3 000 or R1 000 Tiger Wheel & Tyre gift card. “While this particular campaign is now over, the SANBS is always in need of your donation and es­ pecially at this time of year,” concludes Du Plooy. For more information, visit www.twt.to. To donate blood locate your nearest Blood Donor Centre on www.sanbs.org.za (Issued by Tyger Wheel & Tyre)

Hyundai recently launched their new generation i30 and, judging by the number of local sales, it remains a popular choice among prospective car buyers.

“We ordered ten i30s and all sold within the first month. This shows the public’s confidence in the model,” says Dawie Schlebusch, sales manager of Hyundai Motors in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). He adds that most of the new models went to existing Hyundai clients who traded in their older i30s.

According to Schlebusch, the new i30 will especially appeal to 30- to 45-year-old buyers in search of a reliable family car. Having to com­ pete with other brand names such as Volkswagen’s Golf 6, Ford’s Focus and GM’s Opel Astra, huge emphasis was placed on the styling of the new model.

The new i30 is available in either a 1.6 litre or 1.8 litre engine, with all models coming out with standard dual zone climate control, 5 star Euro NCAP safety rating, 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, cruise control, radio/CD/MP3 and Bluetooth.

The 1.6 litre engine kicks out

95kW of power at 6 300rpm and 157Nm of torque at 4 850 rpm, while the 1.8 model delivers 110kW of power at 6 500 rpm and 178Nm of torque at 4 700 rpm. Not only are the new i30s therefore a nippy run-about in town, but they are also more than capable of tackling the open road.

When it comes to the open road, safety is always an issue and the i30 does not disappoint, boasting driver and passenger airbags, as well as side and curtain airbags. With an acceleration of 0-100km/h in10.5 seconds in the 1.6 models and 9.7 seconds (claimed) in the 1.8 models, all the power and speed are brought to a stop by an all-round ABS breaking system with disk brakes in both the front and rear. In addition, the i30s also feature vehicle stability assistance.

Starting from R229 900, the new i30s come standard with a five-year or 150 000km warranty, five-year or 90 000km service plan and five-year or 150 000km road side assistance.

The service intervals are every 15 000km. For more information on the new i30, phone Hyundai Motors at Tel 015 516 8000.

Orlando not as thirsty as you might think It is not something that you see every day - a seven-seater family vehicle that does not slurp up fuel.

Fuel efficiency is, however, not the only way in which the Chevrolet Orlando breaks the traditional multipurpose vehicle mould. The Orlando makes its own unique design statement that distinguishes it from the pack … and it is oh so luxurious.

It is quite an impressive feat - a powerful 1.8 litre, 16-valve petrol engine with multi-point fuel injection that offers 9.4 litres per 100km (claimed). According to Imperial GM’s head of sales in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), Martie Venter, you can drive to Gauteng with a single tank of fuel. “Even with the air con on,” Venter adds. Not only is the Orlando fuel efficient, but it also boasts bold styling, functionality, a flex­ ible interior and excellent safety features. The Orlando truly shifts borders when it comes to the ideal family vehicle, rewriting the rules for a historically conservative market, with its standout-from-the-crowd looks and extras.

Based on a show concept vehicle first present­ ed by Chevrolet on the International Motor Show circuit in 2008, the Orlando embodies the values and practicality associated with a contemporary family car. It combines seven-seater practicality with a generous load-carrying capacity.

With the rear of the vehicle configured for maximum load carrying, the Orlando offers one of the most voluminous spaces. A cavernous 1 499 litres can be achieved by flipping the sec­

ond and third rows of seats.

Since this is a family vehicle, the designers of the Orlando did not shy away from safety features. All the latest technologies available have been used to provide excellent passenger protection.

Despite the standard features such as driver and passenger airbags (six, in fact), the Orlando’s basic design incorporates crumple zones to absorb the initial impact to effectively dissipate impact energy. Additionally, the Orlando also comes with crash-sensor technology that releases the door locks auto­ Motoring matically when a heavy impact is detected.

Don’t let punctures deflate your spirit a way that “new tyres” don’t end up at the top of your letter to Santa. “How you handle a puncture and its repair can mean the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major hole in your pocket,” cautions Joe du Plooy, market­ ing executive of Tiger Wheel & Tyre.

Getting it right means fitting your spare wheel and driving to the nearest reputable tyre dealer, who will remove the wheel, inspect the tyre inside and out and then repair the puncture, using both a plug or stem filler and a patch.

Punctures that are repairable include those that occur in the tread pattern and

which aren’t bigger than 6mm. If your puncture is bigger than that or occurs on the sidewall or outside of the tread, it is irreparable and the tyre will have to be replaced.

“This counsel applies exclusively to normal tyres and not to run-flats, which are an entirely different matter,” adds Du Plooy.

Tiger Wheel & Tyre advises that you have all four tyres as well as your spare inspected and properly inflated before embarking on your annual December road tripl. (Issued: Tyger Wheel & Tyre)

Your cellphone could be a real lifesaver In the spirit of a safe and carefree festive season, the best way to prevent on-road hassles like a flat tyre or even a traumatic accident is to take your vehicle for a free safety check at Hi-Q. (Photo: Quickpic.co.za).

Motoring

Hi-Q offering free safety check In the spirit of a safe and carefree festive season, the best way to prevent on-road hassles like a flat tyre or even a traumatic accident is to take your vehicle for a quick safety check from an expert eye – such as that offered as a free service by countrywide tyre-fitment network Hi-Q. Hi-Q communications manager Lize Hay­ ward says motorists put their trust in Hi-Q stores, and the network’s complimentary safety check was one way of enhancing their vehicle safety. “Tyres may look fine, but they will be markedly safer, perform better and be more fuel efficient if they are optimally balanced and correctly inflated”.

Hayward explains that an under-inflated tyre deflects more energy, increasing rolling resistance and making the vehicle less fuel efficient. “Most importantly, though, it is plain

dangerous. If tyres are incorrectly inflated, the vehicle won’t accelerate, brake or steer properly. Safety devices like antilock brak­ ing systems may not function properly – and driving an under-inflated or overloaded tyre at high speeds, especially on a hot summer day, increases the risk of a dangerous blow-out.

“I highly recommend that motorists take advantage of Hi-Q’s free offer and pop in to have their vehicles properly checked by one of Hi-Q’s trained technicians.

“They will perform what we call the 10-point safety check on your vehicle. This entails checking all four tyres plus the spare for tread depth and pressure, the front and rear shock absorbers, the brake pads, discs and fluid, as well as the battery, exhaust and wiper blades,” says Hayward.

The festive holiday season ranks among the most dangerous times of the year on South Africa’s roads, with a wide range of threats to navigate - from poor visibility, road works and insufficient road maintenance, through to drunk drivers and smash-and-grab hotspots.

But savvy travellers can find their way through the dangers safely with these hints and tips from Cellfind, a subsidiary of Blue Label Telecoms. * Always travel with a first aid kit and consider taking a course about the basics of first aid. If there is an accident, a quick in­ tervention by someone informed about the basics of first aid could mean the difference between life and death. * Ensure that your cellphone battery is fully charged when you embark on a trip and even con­ sider investing in a car charger. * Have emergency contacts saved on your phone. This will assist paramedics or police, should they need to urgently get hold of your friends and family in the event of an accident. To make things even easier for emergency services, enter emergency contacts in your mobile phone address book under the name “ICE”, which stands for “In Case of Emergency”. You can list multiple emergency contacts as “ICE1”, “ICE2”.

* Research indicates that using a mobile phone while driving increases the risk of crashing by at least four times, so don’t do it. Rather wait until you have safely stopped or hand the phone to a passenger to take the call or send the text message. If the temptation to talk and drive is too hard to resist, install a hands-free car kit or buy an earpiece, so that you can talk safely on your phone while you’re driving. * A cellphone-enabled panic button can be a lifesaver in an emergency. One example of such a service is IDMe from ER24, which connects you to fast medical help via your cellphone in the event of an emergency. The service, which is powered by tech­ nology from Cellfind, turns your cellphone into a panic button that immediately links you to ER24’s Contact Centre when you hit a speed dial number. Your location will be traced by means of trian­ gulation, using cellular towers. An operator will also phone you immediately to find out what assistance you need, so that the authori­ ties and necessary help can be dispatched to your location. ER24 will save you valuable time by dispatching the closest and most appropriate emergency resource, providing life-saving treat­ ment, and transporting you to the nearest, most suitable medical facility.

Motoring

Too many drivers still set off unprepared Every year, thousands of motorists across South Africa set off on long, often exhausting journeys without adequate preparation of their vehicles or enough rest.

In their rush to leave, they people often skimp on checking and preparing their vehicles adequately for the journey. Not surprisingly, this is often reflected in problems experienced dur­ ing the departing trip.

Estimates suggest that fatigue is a factor in up to 30 % of fatal crashes and 15 % of serious injury crashes.

Driving, whether it’s a journey of 500 kilo­ metres or it involves a long trek of over 1 000 kilometres, brings its own set of challenges: high volumes of traffic, long distances and the combination of dayand night time driving can test a driver’s limits.

Many drivers prefer to drive during the nighttime to avoid driving in heavy traffic or during the heat of the day. Night-time driving takes its toll on the body, however, and this is all too often underestimated.

About 40% of accidents occur at night. This is not surprising, as night-time driving decreases

one’s driving abilities. Swaying in lanes, an in­ ability to keep a constant speed and an increased number of steering corrections are the result.

Planning the journey ahead – including rest and stop-over points – helps break it down into realistic, manageable drives that get you to your destination safely and relaxed.

To help motorists plan for their journey, the following recom­ mendations could be helpful: • Begin your journey well rested. Have a good night’s sleep before you set off.

• Respect your biorhythm. Depart at a time when your body is used to being awake and active.

• Don’t drink any al­ cohol before departure.

• Avoid any medica­ tion that may make you drowsy.

• Avoid peak departure times.

• Take regular breaks. Rest immediately when you feel signs of fatigue. Go for a short walk.

• Avoid heat build-up in the car. Research has shown that high temperatures have the same effect as a blood alcohol level of 0.5. (Source: Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Holdings)

Nzhelele River claims young contractor

Pastor Ronald Ssentamu of Calidality Ministries International conducted a short HIV/Aids workshop at Baird Ministries in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) on 23 October. From left to right are Past Elvis, Past Bright, Ms B Fernandes, Mr OJ Fernandes, Past Ronald Ssentamu, Past Andrew Baird Bezuidenhoudt, Ms Melody du Plessis and Ms Marguerite Venter.

Short workshop focusses on HIV/Aids A short HIV/Aids workshop was conducted at Baird Ministries in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) by a pastor from Uganda on 23 October.

Pastor Ronald Ssentamu of Calidality Ministries Interna­ tional hails from Rakia, one of the districts in Uganda that is most affected by the virus. He taught on the caring and han­ dling of community members with HIV/Aids as well as Aids orphans.

Ssentamu heads up a school, orphanage, day care and church with the help of his wife, Jack­ line. “Children are the future and we can make a difference today in someone’s life!” is the personal belief of the pastor.

Currently, he is accommodat­ ing 74 children and numerous households full time, as well as ministering to the youth, visiting prisons and conduct­ ing marriage counselling and ministering to married couples.

Baird Ministries is in part­ nership with Pastor Ssentamu and annual conferences and outreaches will be hosted by both countries.

“We would like to thank all the ministers, pastors and preachers who attended the workshop. Our deepest grati­ tude goes to our community leaders. We thank you for your wholehearted commitment to the body of Christ,” said An­ drew Baird Bezuidenhoudt.

A young contract worker’s life came to an abrupt end last Saturday, when he drowned while swimming in the Nzhelele River.

The body of Mr David Maloba (22) of Ha-Manthata in the Bo­ chum area was found submerged in the deep water by divers on Saturday. He was working in the area as a construction worker, on the construction of RDP houses.

The scorching heat in the area prompted him and a friend, Wal­ ter Malete, to go to the Nzhelele River, which is a stone’s throw from where they were staying.

The previous day, as they were not working, Maloba and his friend enjoyed a fun-filled day of swimming and relaxing in the water. They also took pictures while swimming in the water.

On Saturday, the pair returned to the river as they were not working. Little did they know that it was going to be their last day together.

News of the drowning spread

like wildfire, with community members from the nearby vil­ lages coming in their numbers to the scene. Within a short space of time, the river banks were swarming with curious onlook­ ers. Police divers arrived a little later and did not waste time in locating the body.

“We were preparing for a bath on the other side of the river when women who were doing washing requested us to move a little fur­ ther away from them. While I was still looking at the other side of the river, my friend disappeared into the water. I tried to help him, but could not as it was deep,” said a sobbing Malete.

The councillor for Ward 28 in the Thulamela municipal council, Mr Joseph Mavhunga, said that drowning was a cause for con­ cern among the residents, as this was not the first incident. “Last year, a 12-year-old girl died at the same spot. We should rather stay away from this river, as it is killing our people,” he said,

adding that they were going to conduct an awareness campaign to warn people against venturing into the water.

Well-known traditional healer Vho Maine Vho Neluvhola, who also arrived at the scene, warned people about the dangers of ven­turing into the water while knowing that they cannot swim.

“We are losing many people on a yearly basis through drowning,” he said.

“We urge our communities to stay away from the rivers, even though we know it is hot. If needs be, those swimming should do so under the supervision of trained people or those who know how to swim,” he added.

Mr George Mudau, project manager at Todi Business Enter­ prise where Maloba was work­ ing, said it was painful to lose a worker in that manner.

“We are going to meet with his family and see how we can meet them in order to give him a decent burial,” said Mudau.

Sommige meer kwesbaar vir depressie

Me. Erna Eloff, die SAVF se provinsiale bestuurder vir maatskaplike dienste, het die gemeenskap toegespreek oor depressiewe gemoedsversteurings tydens ‘n vergadering van die depressie ondersteuningsgroep in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) wat op 26 November in die Agapé Christensentrum gehou is. Van links na regs is Eloff, mnr. Ben Smith (stigter van die depressie ondersteuningsgroep) en me. Violet Prins (een van die persone wat Smith met die groep bystaan).

Kennisgewing

Jaarvergadering van belastingbetalers Die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging (SBBV) se bestuur nooi al hulle lede om gesellig saam te verkeer by hul jaareindfunksie wat op Vrydag, 7 Desember by die Purple Olive Restaurant in Kroghstraat (waar die ou Casa Caffé was) aangebied word. Die funksie begin om 15:30 vir 16:00.

Dit is egter nie net bestaande lede wat dié funksie kan by­

woon nie.

“Persone wat meer inligting wil bekom oor wie en wat die belastingbetalersvereniging is, is meer as welkom. Bring jul vrae saam, kom maak kon­ struktiewe voorstelle en bring nuwe lede saam,” sê die organi­ seerders.

Belangrike inligting sal by die jaareindfunksie deurgegee word, soos die redes en stand van die SBBV se hofsaak met

die munisipaliteit rakende die kredietbeheerstelsel.

Belasting­b etalers sal hoor wanneer krag afgesny kan word en wanneer iemand gedagvaar kan word ra­kende agterstallige rekeninge.

Die SBBV bestuurder, Phillip Olivier, kan geskakel word vir meer inligting.

Sommige persoonlikhede is meer kwesbaar vir depressie as ander. Dit was een van die talle aspekte wat aangeraak is in ‘n omvattende praatjie oor depressiewe gemoedsversteu­rings.

Me. Erna Eloff, die SAVF se provinsiale bestuur­ der vir maatskaplike dienste, het die gemeenskap toegespreek tydens ‘n vergadering van die de­ pressie ondersteuningsgroep in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) op 26 November.

“Elke persoon het ‘n unieke manier waarop hy homself en sy wêreld benader, ‘n persoonlikheid wat hom meer of minder vatbaar vir depressiewe gemoedsversteurings maak,” het Eloff gesê.

Die tipe persoon wat meer kwesbaar is, is ‘n selfbewuste persoon wat altyd deur plig gemo­ tiveer word.

Die persoon se lewe word volgens diepe begin­ sels ingerig en die persoon lewer in alle opsigte sy of haar beste. Hy of sy vind dit nodig om ander mense tevrede te stel. Die persoon vind dit moeilik om by hom- of haarself uit te kom en weet nie regtig meer wie daardie self is nie. Hierdie onsekerheid gee aanleiding tot gevoelens van mislukking en nutteloosheid. Al skep die persoon ‘n indruk van ‘n goed aangepaste persoon, is hy of sy nie geluk­ kig nie.

Tydens vraetyd is dit vanuit die gehoor beklem­ toon hoe moeilik dit soms is om agter ‘n persoon se masker te kom.

“Depressielyers is uitstekende maskerdraers,” is opgemerk.

Buiten persoonlikheid, kan ‘n chemiese wanba­ lans in die brein en omstandigheidsfaktore ‘n rol speel om ‘n persoon meer vatbaar vir depressiewe gemoedsversteurings te maak. Daar is verskillende teorieë ten opsigte van chemiese wanbalanse.

Die vraag word ook gevra of die wanbalans die depressie veroorsaak het en of dit ontstaan het as gevolg van die depressie.

By omstandigheidskwesbaarheid word gevra hoe die persoon se leefwêreld, werksomstandighede,

huwelikskwaliteit en gesinstruktuur lyk.

Het hy of sy dalk ‘n gevoelige verlies gely?

Hoeveel konflik en stres moet die persoon hanteer?

Talle navor­sers beskou stres as die hooffaktor in depressiewe gemoedsversteurings.

Eloff het die tien belangrikste faktore, in volgor­ de van belangrikheid van hoog na laag, genoem.

Persoonlike of seksuele identiteitsbedreiging is die grootste faktor.

“Dit is die onvermoë om aan manlike of vroulike geslagsroleise te voldoen,” het Eloff gesê.

Veranderings in die huweliksverhouding en ve­ randering van werk is die volgende twee op die lys.

Dan volg “dwang om ontkende realiteite te trotseer,” fisieke siektes en mislukking in werks­ prestasie en mislukking van kinders om aan ouers se verwagting te voldoen. Die laaste drie is “ver­ hoogde verantwoordelikheid”, “skade aan sosiale status” en die dood van ‘n belangrike persoon.

Eloff sê daar moet altyd na verskillende behan­ delingstegnieke gekyk word.

“Dit sluit in mediese behandeling en gesprekshulp (talking cure) deur ‘n psigiater, sielkundige of berader,” sê Eloff. Dit is interessant om te weet dat daar geen bloedtoetse is wat depressie kan bepaal nie.

“Om ‘n akkurate diagnose te maak, steun die medici op die persoon se eie beskrywing van simp­ tome. ‘n Bespreking van jou gemoedskommelinge, gedrag en daaglikse aktiwiteite sal help om die tipe sowel as die graad van die depressie te bepaal.

“Dit is krities om te bepaal wat die mees effek­ tiewe behandeling vir jou is. Wat vir jou vriendin werk, gaan nie noodwendig nie jou werk nie,” sê Eloff.

Unlicensed firearm leads to arrest The Makhado public order policing (POP) and K9 (formerly the Dog Unit) arrested a 24-yearold male suspect after he was found in possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition last Thursday.

According to police information, they acted on information from various sources in arresting the suspect.

“Further investigations have since revealed that the firearm was stolen around September this year,” said the spokesperson for the Makhado police, Capt Maano Sadiki.

In an unrelated incident, a 37-year-old suspect was arrested along the N1 Road after he was found in possession of illegal cigarettes, on 22 November.

ZOUTPANSBERGER Brief

“Ons moet hul toelaat om te beproef, maar mag hulle tog heel terugkom”

N

ou het hulle matriek geskryf en soos ons ...

Het die matriek afskeidgesell­ igheid ‘n letsel op die eer van enkeles gelaat. Het die skop vanuit die bottel, Marawater geword wat vele ouers tot nagwake langs hospi­ taalbeddens gedwing het. Het juis die aand waarop jy geglo het, die wêreld grotendeels aan jou voete lê, ‘n motorwrak, ‘n gebreekte nek of rug, die verskriklike teendeel geword wat ‘n hele familie in ‘n lewenshel gedompel het.

Soos ons ...

Sal hulle vaarwel aan die kerk toeroep totdat die loutering deur die Allerhoogste self, oop kerkdeure weer ‘n waardevolle, genotvolle vreugde vir hulle word.

Sal hulle nie aanvaar dat hulle ouers reeds alles beproef het nie en sal hulle ... soos ons ... dieselfde hope tyd en geleenthede in proef­ nemings vermors alvoor hulle sal erken ... niks het gewerk nie en het ek tog maar geluister. Sal dieselfde oeroue verskoning - self moet ek bepaal in welke lewensgleuf ek pasbaar is - hope ouers tot mis­ moedigheid stem.

Sal die drang tot kaptein van hulle eie lewensskuite, hulle deur donker dieptes neem waarvan ons as ouers nooit mag weet nie. Goddank, dié dieptes waarin die Engele van veili­ ge bewaring die mees waardevolle belofte ooit geword het.

Sal hulle God agterna ook dank dat die genade gegun was wat hulle instaat gestel het om oordeelver­ moëns te mag hê waarin ‘n balans en ewewig gehandhaaf kon word, want soos ons ... sal hulle hunker, sal hulle verlang, sal hulle gryp na juis die skimme van ontnugtering wat oornag groot rykdomme sou bewerkstellig ...

Dis ‘n verloorsaak om in hard­

koppigheid al dieper en dieper die Namibwoestyn in te dring. Om te glo dat jy sonder ‘n stootskraper, eiehandig derduisende tonne sand kan verskuif vir ‘n vuurhoutjiekop grootte diamant vyftig, sestig meter afwaarts, tussen klipbanke van oeroue rivierbeddings, is die gedrog van algehele sotheid.

Om nagtelik met ‘n klein roe­ iskuitjie diamantgruis op Agates­ trand te gaan duik, was heel moont­ lik een van dié geleenthede waarin jy jou Skepper versoek het.

Geld op die visserskuite was goed, baklei, vloek, swets en suip nog beter, maar gelukkig het die hulpeloosheid van die boot sonder stuur die nag op stormsee, jou vir al­ tyd op land uitgespoel. Huursoldaat in die Belgiese Kongo, die Maumaus van Kenia ... Jy het die foto’s aandagtig bestudeer en was met af­ gryse vervul om menslike liggaams­ dele op stokke langs voetpaaie ingeplant te sien. Te sien hoe honger varke die lyke van mense verslind.

Here ... dankie dat dié soort rykdom in begeerte vervaag het.

Dan ... begin die pad terug en waar jy almal voorheen geknyp het, knyp die lewensweë jou oor die grafte van vriende heen, moontlik self die graf van jou eie kind. Een of ander tyd staan jy algeheel bankrot aan jouself. Van Hom gehoor is maklik ... om Hom te sien is ietsie anders!

Vriend, dié paaie sal vele van hulle loop. Ingeval hulle dit nou nie wil weet of besef nie, miskien moet alle ouers dit weereens vir hulle sê: “Gun ons net dit dat julle na die einde van al hierdie weë, die pad terug na julle ouerhuise as die oorblywende oop weg sal sien, sal ken!”

- Buurman (Makhado/Louis Trichardt)

“Unkles got his facts from a movie” The following is a response to a letter published last week in which James Unkles criticise the facts contained in the book of local writer Charles Leach, titled “The Legend of Breaker Morant is dead and buried”.

D

ear Editor, Commander Unkles’ letter seems little more than a critique of Dr Wilcoxs’ review. I question whether he has even read the book.

Talk about judging the book by its cover!

Commander Unkles should take note of the views of both know­ ledgeable and credible historians.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

Genesis 4:1-15 - Sonde laat ‘n merk

S

onde is die mees verskriklike ding in die wêreld; dit is ongehoorsaamheid aan God. Sonde is die oorsaak van alle ongeluk­ kigheid. Die gevolge van sonde is die dood.

Rom. 6:23 sê: “Die loon wat die sonde gee, is die dood; die genadegawe wat God gee, is die ewige lewe in Christus Jesus ons Here.”

Kain en Abel was die eerste twee bro­ ers wat die wêreld geken het. Abel was ‘n skaapboer en lief vir die Here. Kain was ‘n saaiboer en was nie opreg lief vir die Here nie. Die gevolg was dat Kain jaloers geword het op Abel en hom vermoor het. Sy jaloesie het in woede verander, sy woede het haat geword, en haat was die oorsaak van moord op die persoon vir wie hy lief moes wees en vir wie hy moes beskerm het.

Kain se sonde het ‘n merk op hom gelaat. Sy hart was vol vrees. Die Here het aan Kain ‘n teken gegee. Die teken het hom uitgewys as die een wat sy broer vermoor het. Die teken was ook ‘n waarskuwing dat niemand Kain moes doodmaak nie. Kain se sonde het ‘n merk op hom gelos.

Sonde kan littekens op ‘n mens se ligaam laat. Sondes veroorsaak gebroke harte, verwoes vriendskappe, vertroebel die gewete, ens.

Elke persoon wat hierdie lees sal eendag sterf. Het jy voorsorg getref vir jou dood? Daar is net een manier om dit te doen en dit kry ons in Rom. 6:23b: “Die genadegawe wat God gee is die ewige lewe in Christus Jesus onse Here.”

Bekeer jou tot God en redding en die ewige lewe sal joune wees.

VOORHEEN BEKEND AS DIE VENETIA FOTOVOLTAÏESE (FV) GEKONSENTREERDE FOTOVOLTAÏESE (KFV) SONKRAGAANLEG – FASE 1 (75 MW), LIMPOPO-PROVINSIE Projeknaam: Applikant: Ligging:

Alldays FV/GFV Aanleg Fase 1 – Tot 75 MW BioTherm Energy (Edms.) Bpk. Die projek word voorgestel op die plaas Gotha 102 M in die Musina Plaaslike Munisipaliteit.

Voorgestelde akitiwiteit: BioTherm Energy (Edms.) Bpk. doen aan die hand om kommersiële fotovoltaïese sonkragaanlegte (deur hetsy van fotovoltaïese (FV) of gekonsentreerde fotovoltaïese (GFV) tegnologie gebruik te maak) op te rig op ’n terrein naby Musina in die Limpopo-provinsie.

Elke aanleg sal die volgende infrastruktuur insluit: - Fotovoltaïese (FV) of Gekonsentreerde Fotovoltaïese (GFV) panele met ’n uitvoervermoë van tot 75 MW. Die voorstel is dat die panele tot 20 m hoog sal wees (sou GFV tegnologie gebruik word).

Die alternatief sou wees om ’n 132 kV aansluitingslyn (tot 2 km lank) op te rig wat parallel met die bestaande kraglyn tot by die Venetia Substasie loop.

- Monteerstrukture van hetsy vasgestampte staalsuile of suile met voorafvervaardigde betonfondamente om die FV/GFV panele te dra.

The Schoemansdal Environmental Education Centre (EEC) presented a “survival-team-building” programme for P&L Hardware as part of their annual year-end function at Popallin Ranch near Musina. The idea was not only to bring employees closer to each other, but also to create an opportunity for family members to get closer to each other. In spite of the heat, the P&L Hardware teams took up the challenges put to them by the Schoemansdal staff. The Schoemansdal EEC runs team-building programmes for businesses in the province. They have developed a state-ofthe-art high-rope course for this purpose. For more information, phone the centre at Tel 015 516 4881. Photo supplied.
