Dol hond byt DBV-lid Deur Andries van Zyl

Te midde van die wêreldwye histerie rondom die Covid-19 pandemie blyk dit dat baie mense vergeet het van veel erger siektes, soos die virus wat hondsdolheid veroorsaak en ‘n feitlik 100% sterftesyfer onder mense het.

Die Departement van Landbou, Grondhervorming en Landelike Ontwikkeling het die afgelope week inwoners van Louis Trichard en omstreke gewaarsku dat ‘n bevestigde geval van hondsdolheid in die streek voorgekom het.

Dit nadat besluit is om die brein van ‘n hond te ontleed wat in aanhouding was by die Louis Trichardt Dierebeskermingsvereniging. Die hond is Maandagoggend, 13 Julie, dood in haar hok gekry, maar nie alvorens sy die vorige dag ‘n lid van die plaaslike DBV gebyt het nie. Maandag hierdie week is bevestig dat die hond wel hondsdolheid gehad het.

Vir Alicia Thomas, ‘n bestuurslid van die plaaslike DBV, wat deur die hond gebyt is, was dit ‘n noue ontkoming gewees.

“Cindy wat hier vir ons werk in die kliniek het die hond Saterdag, 11 Julie, opgetel op die N1. Sy het letterlik doodstil in die pad gestaan.

Cindy het gestop, die hond opgetel, en DBV toe gebring. Daar was ‘n verbyganger wat gesê het hy weet wie se hond dit is. Die hond het egter so sleg gelyk. Die een agterbeen was af en Cindy het vir die man gesê dat die eienaar sy hond maar by die DBV moet kom kry. Nodeloos om te sê, die eienaar het nooit gekom nie,” het Alicia hierdie week aan die Zoutpansberger gesê.

Alicia het vertel dat sy Sondag, 12 Julie, spesiaal ingegaan het om onder meer na die hond se toestand te kyk. “Die hond het verskriklik gebewe en ek wou vir haar pyn medisyne ingee.

Alhoewel die af been ‘n ou wond was, moes dit seer gewees het. Toe ek die pil in haar keel probeer plaas, het die hond so eenkeer na my gehap. Die tweede keer het ek haar letterlik net opgetel om in ‘n mandjie te sit sodat sy warmer is, toe gryp sy my arm. Sy het bloot gebyt en

vasgehou. Gelukkig het ek kalm gebly en nie weggeruk nie. Alhoewel ek groot geskrik het, het ek net gewag dat sy my weer los,” het Alicia gesê.

In daardie stadium was die moontlikheid dat die hond dalk hondsdolheid het nie eers ‘n gedagte

by Alicia nie. “Ek het gedink sy het my gebyt uit pyn-aggressie weens haar beserings,” het Alicia gesê.

Met die DBV arbeiders se aankoms by die werk Maandagoggend, 13 Julie, het hulle die hond dood gekry in haar hok. “Ons personeel het ons meegedeel dat die hond Sondagmiddag erg begin tekere gaan het. Sy het die hok se dra­de begin kou en was uiters aggres­ sief gewees.

Dit was glad nie die geval gewees toe ek by die hond was Sondag nie.

Duidelik het haar gedrag geëskaleer.

Toe ek hoor die hond is dood, asook haar gedragsverandering, toe besluit ek ek gaan eerder veilig speel en gaan vir behandeling,” het Alicia gesê. Gelukkig vir Alicia is haar hondsdolheid inentings op datum. “Maar as jy gebyt word, moet jy steeds gaan vir ‘n booster inspuiting (om die immuunstelsel te help). Twee weke ná dit moet jy weer so ‘n inspuiting kry, wat ek nou gister [Maandag] gekry het. Maar ja, ek is baie, baie dankbaar ek het besluit om eerder te gaan vir behandeling,” het Alicia gesê.

Die hondsdolheid virus word van diere (in meeste gevalle honde) na mense oorgedra in die dier se speeksel wanneer die dier iemand byt. (Vervolg op p.2)

Reporter threatened for asking about lottery funded project

By Anton van Zyl A reporter of the Zoutpansberger/Limpopo Mirror has been warned that he will be harmed unless he stops digging into the affairs of a lottery beneficiary.

This happened after the reporter tried to obtain contact information about an organisation that received more than R15 million in lottery funding over the past three years.

The incident happened last Thursday when the reporter received a call from an unknown person, telling him to stop inquiring about the affairs of the Vyeboom Youth Development NPO. The reporter was assisting the online publication, GroundUp, which has been investigating dodgy grants made by the National Lotteries Commission. The matter was subsequently reported at the Makhado police station and a charge of intimidation is being investigated.

Efforts to call the number used by the threatening caller were unsuccessful and the SIM card is believed to have been bought for the sole purpose of making the threatening call and then discarded.

both NPOs and the NLC are obliged by law to be transparent and accountable has clearly not been embraced by the NLC.

Why a non-compliant NPO?

The way the NLC uses non-compliant NPOs to run multimillion-rand projects has been highlighted on several occasions by investigative reporters. The Limpopo Mirror first exposed this in February 2018, when we followed the trail of a R27.5 million grant to a Vhembe-registered NPO, Denzhe Primary Care.

What we found has turned into one of the biggest scandals that the NLC has had to deal with. Further digging revealed that Denzhe was both dormant and non-compliant and had been hijacked by a Pretoria-based lawyer. Of the R27.5 million the NPO received – to build a drug rehabilitation centre near Pretoria – more than R20 million cannot be accounted for.

Non-profit organisations are registered with the NPO Directorate, which falls under the Department of Social Development (DSD). They are issued with an NPO number and have a statutory obligation to submit annual reports to the DSD. In the case of Denzhe, as with Vyeboom, Who is Vyeboom Youth this has not happened.

Questioned on the practice of giving millions Development? of rands in funding to non-compliant NPOs, The records of the National Lotteries Comthe NLC’s chief operating officer, Phillemon mission (NLC) reflect that a non-profit organLetwaba, said that submitting annual returns to isation, Vyeboom Youth Development (VYD), the DSD was not a prerequisite for receiving a received R5 million in 2017.

The Troopers Festival features twice in NLC documentation; during a special NLC Board meeting on 2 September 2016, a decision was taken to utilize R45 million in surplus funds in the Arts and Culture sector. The funds were distributed to “respective qualifying flagship projects”, up to a maximum of R5 million each.

In 2016, the money for the festival was channelled through an NPO called Migingiriko MAKHADO CARE GROUP IS A Projects.

Condemnation The latest threat to a reporter investigating lottery grants was condemned by the SA National Editors Forum (SANEF). In a press release issued last Friday, SANEF says that it is inexcusable for individuals to threaten journalists.

“We trust that the police will give this matter the urgency it deserves and identify the culprits,” the statement reads.

SANEF also expresses concern about the reluctance of the NLC to release information about NPOs receiving funding. In 2019, following a series of articles exposing questionable grants and possible large-scale corruption, the NLC stopped publishing details of organisations being funded.

Even when questions were asked in parliament, the NLC refused to disclose which organisations benefit from its funding.

After mounting pressure from a various sectors, the NLC budged this week and released details of the past two years’ beneficiaries on Monday. The details made available included an incomplete list of organisations that benefited from its R150 Covid-19 relief initiative.

Absa man in court again for R25m theft

By Kaizer Nengovhela A consultant of the Elim branch of Absa Bank appeared in the Waterval Magistrate’s Court on Monday for the second time in connection with the theft of R25 million.

Fhatuwani Mudzanani (27) of Mashau village had allegedly stolen R25 million from the Limpopo Provincial Government’s accounts and deposited the funds into different bank accounts linked to him. He was arrested by the Hawks at his workplace a fortnight ago.

The spokesperson for the Hawks, Capt Matimba Maluleke, said four Absa ATM cards, two withdrawal slips, and a cash amount were found and seized at the suspect’s house.

The suspect had allegedly transferred cash into different bank accounts he had opened.

He was successfully traced, and his accounts were frozen during the search of his house.

The case was postponed to Thursday, 30 July, for a formal bail application and Mudzanani remains in custody.

Hondsdol hond byt hand wat wou help (Vervolg van p.1) Die virus kan ook deur snye, die mond of oë die mens infekteer. Die eerste simptome van infeksie sluit in hoofpyn, angs, koors, braking en uiterste vrees vir water. Daarna volg verlamming, koma en die dood. Dit neem gewoonlik twee tot 10 weke vir mense en diere om simptome te toon ná infeksie. Wanneer mens of dier die tekens begin toon, is geen behandeling moontlik nie en die persoon of dier sal sterf.

Om dadelik ná ‘n byt van ‘n vermoedelik hondsdol dier met behandeling te begin, voordat die simptome begin wys, is dus uiters belangrik. Was die wonde onmiddellik deeglik, verkieslik met ’n ontsmettingsmiddel. Kry so gou moontlik mediese behandeling en onthou dat die behandeling uit ’n reeks inspuitings bestaan en

‘n persoon die volledige reeks moet ontvang.

“Ek dink nie mense besef hoe baie hondsdolheid gevalle daar in ons area is nie. Dit is volop.

Dit word net nie aangemeld nie of daardie diere gaan net dood.

Die hond wat my gebyt het, is binne 72 uur net dood. Wanneer hulle begin simptome wys, is dit vinnig,” het Alicia gesê.

Wat hierdie spesifieke hond betref, is sy uiters bekommerd.

“Die probleem is nou, mens weet nie met wie was daardie hond in kontak nie, want dit is speeksel en dit is bloed. Sy kon ander honde gebyt het en sy kon mense gebyt het. Mens sal nie weet nie. Ons weet ook nie wie is die eienaar nie,” het Alicia gesê.

Wat die moontlikheid betref dat ander personeellede by die plaaslike DBV aan die virus blootgestel kon gewees het, het

Alicia gesê dat alle personeel­ lede se inentings op datum is teen die virus. “Die protokol verander net ten opsigte van die graad van blootstelling, soos om deur ‘n dier gebyt te word.

Net ek is gebyt,” het Alicia gesê.

Sy het ook bygevoeg dat geen ander diere aan die besmette hond blootgestel is nie. “Die hond was in isolasie die hele tyd,” het sy gesê.

Alicia het bygevoeg dat inwoners beslis bekommerd moet wees oor die gevaar van hondsdolheid. Goeie nuus is egter dat die Legacy Vet Shop by die plaaslike DBV en die Blouberg Dierekliniek besluit het om saam te werk ten opsigte van ‘n veldtog teen hondsdolheid.

Hulle het Woensdag aangekondig dat inwoners vanaf 1 tot 31 Augustus vir slegs R20 per inenting hulle diere kan kom inent teen die virus.

“The municipality’s actions in not answering is deplorable”

By Andries van Zyl The Covid-19 outbreak continues to disrupt every aspect of everyday life, and this week brought the news that the Makhado Municipality and Makhado Fire Station had to be closed after staff members had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Makhado municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi issued a statement on 25 July that the municipal offices would be closed from Monday, 27 July, until Monday, 3 August. He indicated that this would also affect the Dzanani and Waterval regional offices. “This is due to a Covid-19 case that has been reported. Offices will be opened again after all Covid-19 protocols have been completed and complied with,” said Bobodi. He added, however, that essential services such as waste removal, electricity and traffic would still be rendered.

A day later, the Vhembe District Municipality issued a statement announcing the immediate closure of the Makhado Fire Station in Louis Trichardt after two of its employees had tested positive for the coronavirus.

The closing of the municipal office left many residents frustrated, especially after the sudden rain that fell during Monday evening/Tuesday morning. This caused the transformer on the corner of Erasmus and Douthwait Street to trip, leaving several households without power since about two o’clock on Tuesday morning.

Initially, the power outage did not cause much inconvenience, but when the electricity was still off at 11:00 residents, became frustrated. “We were without power (the block between Douthwait, Songozwi, Anderson, and Erasmus) since 2 a.m. this morning. I did not want to disturb the Dorpswag because it is not an emergency and I tried the Fault Reporting Number. However, as per notice above the municipality offices are closed so I TRIED REPEATEDLY to contact the above number for Electricity, without any success. It just beeps. I contacted the Dorpswag

and they were able to make contact via private numbers. Basically, without the Dorpswag assistance, I do not know what we would have done,” wrote one irate resident on a local social media platform. “The municipality’s actions in not answering the emergency electricity fault-reporting number is deplorable,” said the irate resident.

Many others had similar complaints.

The irate resident was referring to a notice issued by the Makhado Municipality that indicates the emergency numbers to phone for fault reporting regarding electricity, waste removal, and traffic. The numbers listed were Mr Humbulani Tshivhula at 082 402 8439 for waste removals, Mr Stanley Ramadwa at 082 590 8270 for electricity and Mr Bernad Mokiri at 078 802 9412 for traffic.

The newspaper informed municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi of the complaints and asked him to confirm the emergency numbers provided by them. In response, Bobodi indicated that all the numbers remained the same, except for the contact person regarding electricity.

The new person listed is Mr Aron Tshikovhi at 082 082 2389. Asked why Mr Ramadwa was no longer the responsible person, Bobodi said Ramadwa had gone on leave on Tuesday, which might explain why he was not answering.

In addition, Bobodi said that those who had booked for driver’s or learner’s licences on allocated dates from 27 July tot 31 were requested to go and get new appointments dates at the Makhado Testing Grounds at the corner Krogh and Rissik Street on Monday, 3 August. He also indicated that, should people still experience problems in reporting electrical faults, they could also phone the acting manager of electrical services, Mr Thomas Matodzi, at 083 677 6362.

As for the Makhado Fire Station, the VDM issued a follow-up statement indicating that the station was due to re-open on Wednesday after all the necessary Covid-19 protocols had been observed and completed.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe Slegs by God is daar standvastigheid (Matteus 7:24-29)

W

aar kry ons standvastigheid? Waar kry ons rustigheid en gemoedsrus?

Hierdie dinge, waarna ons almal verlang, mag dalk voel of dit deesdae nogal skaars is. Die lewe is ‘n warboel, ons hardloop van een krisis na ‘n ander, probeer vure doodslaan waar ons gaan. En hierdie toestand loop baie maklik oor in ons ge­ loofslewe, sodat ons partykeer so oorwel­ dig voel deur die dinge van die lewe dat ons geloofsvoete onder ons uitgeslaan word.

Ons Here Jesus spreek onder ander dinge hierdie saak aan in ons teksgedeelte.

Hy vergelyk in sy baie bekende gelykenis hier iemand wat standvastigheid het met iemand wat dit beslis nie het nie. Hy beskryf die standvastige mens as iemand wat verstandig lewe. Hierdie verstandigheid word uitgedruk in die feit dat hy sy huis op ‘n rots gebou het. Hy het vir sy huis ‘n ordentlike fondament gegee om op te staan, sodat die struktuur stewig is en kan weerstand bied teen uitdagings van buite.

Hierdie uitdagings kom dan ook. Stort­ reën, vloedwaters en wind het gedreig om die huis om te ruk en plat te vee, maar die huis het stewig bly staan, as gevolg van sy sterk rotsfondament. Dit kon hierdie huis nie onderkry nie.

Hoe verkry ‘n mens die standvastigheid wat Jesus hier met ‘n beeld verduidelik?

Deur te luister na sy Woorde en daarvolgens op te tree. Watter woorde is hierdie?

Die Woorde wat Christus sy hele bedie­ ning op aarde verkondig het. Die koms van die koninkryk van God, Hy wat die Verlosser van God se kinders sal wees, dat daar in Hom geglo moet word en dat hierdie geloof sigbaar moet wees. Die optrede van die standvastige mens is om die Here waarlik lief te hê, in Hom te glo en in alle gehoorsaamheid te dien.

Waar kom hierdie standvastigheid en gemoedsrus vandaan? In die dinge wat ons doen vir die Here? Nee! In die gesindheid waarmee ons dit doen. Mense kan duiwels uitdryf en wonderwerke doen en profeteer, soos ons in vers 22 net voor ons teksgedeelte kan sien, en sou dit met die verkeerde gesindheid gedoen word, beteken dit niks. Met die regte gesindheid bou ons ons hele lewe op ons geloof in die Here, gelei deur die Heilige Gees.

Alles wat ons doen, gaan daaroor om die Here te verheerlik. Alles wat in ons lewens aangaan, spreek van die vertroue wat in ons is dat ons nie uitgelewer aan die lewe en die wêreld is nie, maar dat die Here ons lewens daagliks rig.

Dit wat ons doen om die Here te verheerlik, die lewens van gehoorsaamheid wat ons lei, lewer die getuienis dat die geloof wat die Gees aan ons gegee het, en waardeur ons deel kry aan die redding in Christus, eg is. Dit gaan alles oor die Here wat verheerlik word, nie oor ons nie.

Verder is ons as gelowiges se lewe op die Here gebou omdat Hy ons ewig aan Hom vasgemaak het. Ons vertroue is dat sy goedheid en liefde nie net in hierdie lewe is nie, maar vir ewig met ons gaan wees. Ons verkry ‘n breër toekoms-uitsig wanneer ons ons standvastigheid in die Here vind, want ons besef alle aanslae en uitdagings in hierdie lewe is nietighede.

Wanneer ons hierdie dinge weet, dan sien ons duidelik die verskil in die lewe van ‘n gelowige kind van God en iemand wat nie hul vertroue in Hom stel nie. Die sorge van die lewe, die moeilikhede en uitdagings is heeltemal te veel om te hanteer, omdat daar geen fondament is nie.

Wanneer ‘n lewe nie op God gebou is nie, maar op ‘n mens self of die wêreld, loop dit uit op totale vernietiging.

Laat ons dan nie vaskyk in die krisisse wat ons elke dag tegemoetkom in die lewe nie. Laat ons sien hoe die Here self ons fondament is wat ons standvastig hou in hierdie lewe. Laat ons aan Hom ‘n lewe van dankbaarheid en gehoorsaamheid wy, omdat Hy dit so beskik het dat ons dit altyd sal hê.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 31 JULIE 2020

Ooraanbod in tweedehandse mark weens die huidige swak ekonomie Deur Pétria de Vaal Die grendeltyd en die gepaardgaande swak ekonomiese klimaat noop mense om soms uit desperaatheid items op Facebook en elders te verkoop om hul finansies aan te vul.

Winkels wat tweedehandse ware koop en verkoop, ervaar ook nou ‘n oor-aanbod van items. Hulle kan nie onbeperk aanhou om aan te koop nie. Die koopkrag in die tweedehandse mark het klaarblyklik aansienlik afgeneem, terwyl mens eerder sou dink dat tweedehandse ware teen goedkoper pryse juis nou aangekoop sou word, omdat dit nuut dalk te duur is.

Thundu Land (Thundu is die Venda woord vir goedere) se eienaar, Gert Dreyer, bevestig dat baie meer items nie nou verkoop nie. Hierdie onderneming is al vir vier jaar aan die gang en saam met Ronel Nieman en ander personeel het dit gegroei tot waar dit vandag is. Volgens Gert koop hulle wel nog in hierdie moeilike tye goedere aan, afhangend van wat die items is.

Wat nou gewild is om by sy winkel te verkwansel is veral dié items wat nie in die winter tuis gebruik word nie, soos grassnyers en braaiers.

Gert moes al mense wegwys as hy besef dat die

items moontlik nie in sy winkel gaan verkoop nie. “Baie mense is desperaat en sal selfs tevrede wees met minder geld as wat hulle oorspronklik vir ‘n item wou hê,” sê Gert.

Kopers wat volgens die bêrekoopbeginsel koop, is volop. Die winkel se stoor is vol van hierdie items wat normaalweg oor vier maande afbetaal word. Thundu Land is ook bekend vir sy veilings elke tweede Saterdag. Tans word die lokaal van die ou Robot Elektries hiervoor gebruik. “Ons sien uit daarna om binnekort die hele spasie permanent te huur en ook ons winkel soontoe te skuif, aangesien ons spasie baie beperk is,” voeg Gert by. Thundu Land is tans in die arkade langs die ou Robot Elektries.

“Vele besighede maak noodgedwonge toe en ons word gevra om hulle items op te veil. Só is daar verlede Saterdag verskeie items verkoop van ‘n kroeg wat op Modjadjiskloof sy deure moes sluit,” sê Gert. Hy noem ook dat indien hulle nie iets vir die winkel kan aankoop nie, voornemende verkopers aangemoedig word om items in “lotte” (bondels) aan te bied vir verkope tydens so ‘n veiling. Hulle het normaalweg op ‘n Saterdag 250 “lotte” om op te veil.

Gert is dankbaar dat die maak en verkoop

God seën ons nog elke dag met donasies en hulpmiddele.

Soos baie ander besighede was Dit & Dat Geskenkwinkel ook toe en het eers weer op 1 Junie heropen. Janene Holtzhausen en haar dogter, Ninah Prinsloo, voel geseënd dat hulle in hierdie tyd steeds ondersteun word deur hulle lojale klante. Dit & Dat bestaan reeds vir ses jaar langs Hennetjie Nes in Erasmusstraat.

Haar fokus is egter nie op enige tweedehandse goedere nie, maar uitgesoekte meubels meubels wat haar man, Hugo, self vervaardig van herwonne hout, asook antieke stukke en geskenke.

Janene koop normaalweg haar voorraad elders aan. Slegs nou en dan sal sy in iets belangstel wat inpas by haar temas en styl en dit dan plaaslik aankoop. Wanneer iemand ander tipe tweedehandse items wil verkoop, verwys sy hulle gewoonlik na een van die ander tweedehandse winkels in die dorp. Sy het min inloopkopers en is merendeels afhanklik van die gevestigdes.

Voorraad word nie tans regtig aangevul nie, omdat baie daarvan reeds beskikbaar was voor die inperking. “Die meubels soos tafels, stoele, en spieëls wat Hugo van herwonne hout maak, is ook ‘n groot treffer,” sê Janene.

The Department of Agriculture, Land reform and Rural Development has confirmed a case of rabies in a stray dog in Louis Trichardt town.

Rabies affects all species, including humans, and has no treatment with death as the only outcome. “We must thus act preventatively. We urge everyone to please vaccinate all your dogs and cats as soon as possible,” said the department.

The department said that people who were exposed to saliva or a bite from an animal, should wash the wound with soap and water immediately. “Go to the nearest health-care facility without delay and report the possible rabies exposure,” said the department.

noodgedwonge inderhaas terugkeer en het hulle op 22 Maart in Suid-Afrika aangekom.

Kristi het haar BSc-studies aan die Universiteit van Pretoria geparkeer om eers vanjaar te gaan geld verdien in Amerika. Sy het normaalweg onder meer as kaartjieverkoper gewerk en Eugene as die persoon wat die verskillende ritte beheer het.

Ná hulle terugkeer, het albei na haar ouerhuis in Louis Trichardt gekom. Sy het eers nie geweet waarmee om haarself besig te hou nie, maar het spoedig besef dat sy iets kon maak uit afvalstukkies hout wat oorbly van meubels wat haar pa maak.

Met ‘n saag, spykers en verf, het haar kreatiewe sy oorgeneem en het sy pragtige ornamentele huisies, kerkies en versame­ lings daarvan begin skep. “Al my dank aan my Hemelse Vader wat my hiermee lei en seën,” sê Kristi. Sommer vinnig het sy ‘n afsetgebied gekry, geadverteer op sosiale media en koerier nou die “geboutjies” landswyd.

Vir meer inligting oor haar stokperdjie kan Kristi geskakel word by tel. 083 288 1759. Sy het nog nie haar eie Facebook-blad hiervoor nie, omdat dit nog so nuut is. Sy soek ook na ‘n naam vir die produk. Nog foto’s van haar werk is wel op haar ma se Dit en Dat Geskenkwinkel Facebook-blad beskikbaar.

Things are changing at Ridgeway on many levels School News Things are changing at the Ridgeway schools in Louis Trichardt on many levels as part of their 21st birthday celebrations.

“This year has been a strange and disrupted one, with so many plans being scuppered. We have to believe that this will pass and plan for a future beyond 2020. Part of this planning lies in the rebranding of our schools,” said Dionne Redfern, executive head of Ridgeway College, Ridgeway Preparatory (prep) and the Ridgeway Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centre.

Redfern said that turning 21 held special significance. “It’s regarded as a ‘coming of age’ birthday and celebrates a sense of independence and selfhood. Our school turns 21 this year and it seemed an appropriate time to reassess our family of schools, our values and identity and our offering in the 21st century,” said Redfern.

Until now, each school has had a separate school badge. “This year, as we considered the consolidation of our ECD, preparatory and college under one banner, so to speak, it made sense to have one badge for all of us, showing the unity and commonality of the vision we share. Mindful of the cost to parents and taking stock of what we already had that we wished to keep, we settled on the Prep badge, with a few changes,” said Redfern.

The Prep school badge contains key symbols that will remain unchanged. The clear blue

sky and verdant green are typical of this warm climate and beautiful setting in the foothills of the magnificent Soutpansberg. Typical, too, are the majestic baobab trees that stand as firm sentinels of strength and beauty in the landscape.

A hand holding a quill, symbolic of education, remains in the foreground, but the quill has changed to gold, as has the banner to enhance the new uniform. Ridgeway’s motto will remain the same: Believe in yourself.

“It is a simple, sincere statement that encapsulates all that we hope to instil in our learners: a sense of self, of their place in the world, and the power to attain their dreams. We are blessed to have our schools in such a lovely space where our learners can be “free range”; where they can grow into adulthood in a place that is natural, harmonious, uncomplicated, and clean,” said Redfern.

As for uniforms, Ridgeway Prep has always

RS E F F EO U L A V

l a e D e u Val

R E P U S

had a uniform, whereas the college began with no uniform at all and then moved to jeans and golf shirts. “We believe that wearing a uniform is a badge of pride, helping to create an identity for a school and, for the student, a sense of belonging. We will retain much of the Prep uniform but will make changes, such as girls will wear skorts rather than skirts in the Prep, and replacing the blue skirt with a fabric of blue and white tweed, with a fine thread of yellow-gold,” said Redfern.

This picture taken of Commandant-General Piet Joubert, presumably in a tent preparing for a battle, was digitally coloured by a group of entusiasts,. They run a Facebook page by the name “Boer War Colourised Photographs” and the aim is to “bring life to this interesting part of our South African history.” (Photo credit: Dutch/ZA House Library)

ple who attended his funeral at his farm in the Wakkerstroom district included dignitaries from across the country. The guests present included many representatives from tribal authorities who, as Meintjes writes, “walked for many miles to pay their last respects.”

Piet Joubert’s whole life was one of contradictions. He was best known as the republic’s commandant general, a position he held for more than 20 years.

Still, it is a position he seemingly never wanted and he went through great efforts to avoid war. When all negotiations failed and issues had to be settled on the battlefield, he remained a perfect gentleman and was well respected for this. His character was very well described by Sir George White, the defender of Ladysmith, when he called him “a soldier and a gentleman, and a brave and honourable opponent”.

In order to understand why Piet Joubert commanded such respect from all, even his enemies, we should probably now turn back the clock and look at where he came from.

The Milwaukee Journal’s claim that he was born in 1841 is a bit dubious. That would have meant that his political career had started at the age of 19 when he was elected a member of the Volksraad for Wakkerstroom in 1860. (He initially refused this nomination). His real date of birth is more likely to be 20 January 1831, when he announced his arrival at the farm Damaskus at the present-day Prince Albert in the Western Cape. His ancestors arrived in the Cape Colony in 1688, when Pierre Joubert and his wife, Isabeau Richard, emigrated from De la Motte d’Aigues in Provence, France.

Piet Joubert was the eldest son of Jozua Francois Joubert and Ester Maria Gouws, a couple that joined the Great Trek to the north when Piet was only six years old.

However, a bit of doubt still exists.

Meintjes writes that, in spite of Joubert’s voluminous writings later in his life, he showed little interest in his childhood and youth. When Joubert was 12, his father died, followed a few years later

by his mother. Could it be that a young American boy entered the country and took on the identity of such an “orphan”?

Unlikely, but we can get back to the conspiracy theory later on.

Let us skip past Joubert’s somewhat traumatic childhood years and his education. As Joubert later remarked: “Whatever knowledge I have, I gained on the road of experience.” It is, however, worth mentioning that he taught himself Roman Dutch Law and served as a law agent in the lower courts. Apart from Afrikaans, Dutch and English, he could speak several of the indigenous languages. He acquired the nickname “Slim Piet” in reference to his exceptional knowledge on a wide range of subjects.

At the age of 20, Joubert married a rather extraordinary woman, Hendrina Johanna Susanna Botha. She was described as “utterly unafraid, inventive and tough” and she accompanied her husband on all his campaigns, gave military advice and shared his life up to the end. We will return to “Tannie” Drienie at a later stage as she also played a significant role in shaping the history of the Soutpansberg.

The Joubert couple began their farming life in the Marico in 1851.

In 1853, they moved to Utrecht, but settled in the Wakkerstroom district around 1856 where Joubert acquired a farm. This is also the period in which Joubert was drawn into the politics of the day (and there were many squabbles). In the biography about Joubert, Johannes Meintjes provides a wonderful summary of Joubert’s character, which also explains his later interaction with feuding groups in the Soutpansberg: “The strife among his people, which was even to lead to a minor civil war, was upsetting to Joubert. Although so strongly individualistic, he was always ready to listen to another’s opinion and keen to find a peaceful solution rather than argue. As we know, the sound of battle reverberated in Joubert’s ears from early childhood, but he could hardly have expected that it would do so all his life. And he hated it. When

Thesis - Unisa.

In December 1884, Joubert, in his capacity as Superintendent of Native Affairs, visited the area to try and diffuse the tension between Commissioners Oscar Dahl, Antonio Albasini and Makhado. As usual, the grievances concerned the non-payment of taxes and Makhado’s refusal to allow land surveyors to demarcate the land.

Joubert wanted to avoid direct confrontation, in spite of the pressure from the local Boer forces.

Makhado was also clever enough to play the different sides off against each other.

Commissioner Albasini felt that Oscar Dahl was not doing his job in collecting taxes from Makhado, but a large part of the area inhabited Piet Joubert’s whole life was one of contradictions. He was by the Vhavenda fell best known as the republic’s commandant general, a position under Albasini’s “ju- he held for more than 20 years.

In the fourth edition of our series focussing on the names of the streets in Louis Trichardt, we look at Joubert Street.

This street was named after the famous Boer general, Piet Joubert.

Because Joubert’s history was so well documented, we have to offer it in two “episodes”. This week’s episode will start with his death and then jump to his birth. It focuses more on his role as statesman and we try and bring in a bit of the mystery that surrounded him. Towards the end we focus on his visits to the Soutpansberg. Next week we finish the story with the history of the battle against Mphephu and Joubert’s efforts to find peaceful solutions.

This series on the street names is not aimed at promoting political agendas or to be history lessons. It is merely an effort to highlight the people and places that helped shaped our society (for the better or worse).

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, was struwelinge op die politieke front in ‘n veranderende Nuwe Suid-Afrika weer hoofnuus op die voorblad van die Zoutpansberger van 4 Augustus 1995.

Die hoofberig het gehandel oor die inslui­ ting van Vleifontein by die Groter Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad. Die provinsiale regering het aangekondig dat hulle voortgaan met die inlywing van die munisi­ paliteit by Louis Trichardt, ten spyte van talle argumente teen die besluit. Een van die argumente was dat die bestaande Louis Trichardt Munisipaliteit nie finansieel sterk genoeg was om Vleifontein te ontwikkel nie. Die provinsiale regering het egter ‘n afvaardi­ ging na die munisipaliteit gestuur met ‘n versoek dat die partye konsensus bereik oor die aange­ leentheid.

Op ‘n baie hartseer noot is daar ook ‘n berig op die voor­ blad van ‘n jong polisieman, konstabel Rudolph Putter (24) van die Waterpoort polisie, wat homself tydens ‘n besoek aan sy meisie in Louis Trichardt geskiet het. Wonderbaarlik het hy die skietwond oorleef en kon ‘n paar dae na die voorval weer met mense kommuni­ keer. In daardie stadium was dit nie duidelik of hy perma­ nente breinskade opgedoen het nie.

Op ‘n positiewe noot te

midde van tragedie is twee mense gearre­ steer in verband met die sluipmoord op die plaaslike taxi­eienaar en voorsitter van die Louis Trichardt Taxi Association op 7 Julie van daardie jaar.

Dit was darem nie net slegte nuus daardie week gewees nie. ‘n Groot deel van die koe­ rant is ook afgestaan aan foto’s wat tydens die gewilde Louis Trichardt Skou die vooraf­ gaande naweek geneem is.

Hanlie Nagel se oupa Cornelius Johannes Marais se eetstoeltjie lê haar na aan die hart. Sy skat dat die stoeltjie digby 130 jaar oud moet wees. Foto verskaf.

Christo en Elmarie Coetzee was in besit van ou Bybels. Elmarie vertel gretig dat Christo se oom, Piet Engelbrecht, by die drukkery van die Universiteit van Pretoria gewerk het, waar hy onder meer boeke gerestoureer het. Foto verskaf.

Inperking gee mense tyd om “skatte” uit te snuffel Deur Pétria de Vaal Die grendeltyd het aan baie inwoners die geleentheid gebied om ‘n bietjie huis skoon te maak. Op hierdie manier is dikwels ou skatte ontdek of net weer opnuut afgestof en bewonder – iets waarvoor bedrywige mense normaalweg nie altyd tyd het nie.

Hanlie en Innes Nagel. Foto verskaf.

Christo en Elmarie Coetzee was in besit van ou Bybels. Elmarie vertel gretig dat Christo se oom, Piet Engelbrecht, by die drukkery van die Universiteit van Pretoria gewerk het waar hy onder meer boeke gerestoureer het. Hy het hierdie Bybels van iemand gekry om te restoureer. Voordat hy dit egter kon klaar doen, is hy oorlede en het sy vrou in besit daarvan gekom.

Sy het dit toe ná die dood van haar tweede man aan Christo se ma oorhandig, want sy het gevoel sy wil dit nie in haar besit hê nie.

“Christo se ma het ‘n paar jaar gelede toe ook so daaroor gevoel, en besluit om dit vir hom (Christo) te gee, aangesien ons lief is vir oudhede, en sy geweet het ons sal dit goed bewaar.

Ons het dit aanvanklik in die huis gehou, met die idee om die oorspronklike familie aan wie dit behoort het te probeer opspoor,” vertel Elmarie.

Alle pogings om die familie op te spoor was egter tevergeefs en die Coetzees het besluit om dit aan die Oorlogsmuseum in Bloemfontein te skenk. “Toe ons tydens ‘n vakansie die museum besoek het, het ons gesien hoeveel moeite daar gedoen word om hierdie tipe goed te bewaar.

Ons kon ook aflei uit die geskrifte en geslags­ register daarin dat die Bybels wel dateer uit die Anglo-Boere-oorlogtydperk, en dus goed sou inpas by die res van die Museum se versameling,” sê Elmarie.

Hanlie Nagel het in hierdie tyd opnuut onder die indruk gekom van die familie-erfstukke wat, sedert die afsterwe van haar ouers toe sy sestien jaar oud was, in haar besit gekom het.

Haar oupa Cornelius Johannes Marais se eetstoeltjie lê vir Hanlie na aan die hart. Sy skat

dat die stoeltjie digby 130 jaar oud moet wees.

Dit kom van die plaas Schaapkraal in die Bethal omgewing. Sy het ook ‘n melkkannetjie van haar einste oupa. “Die kannetjie moet hier by die 70 jaar oud wees. Kyk na die plaasnaam: ‘Sukkelaar’ by Schaapkraal naby Bethal,” voeg Hanlie by. Hanlie se ma, Johanna Marais, het daar grootgeword.

“By my ouma Johanna Pietronella Marais (néé Whiteman) het ek ‘n ou Singer naaldwerkma­ sjien geërf. Die masjien dateer uit die 1950’s, skat ek. Ek is haar naamgenoot. Sy is gebore in 1907,” sê Hanlie nostalgies.

“Die waskom was my oumagrootjie Whiteman s’n. Sy was die ma van my ouma Johanna Pietronella Marais. Die wa-kis waarop die waskom op

die foto staan, is ‘n oorspronklike wat met die Groot Trek gebruik is en het nog ‘n Hollandse inskripsie binne-in in my oupagrootjie Cornelius Johannes Marais se handskrif.

“Een van die Familiebybels wat aan my man, Innes, behoort, is die De Villiers Bybel. Dit het aan Innes se ouma se pa behoort en dateer uit 1906. Let op na die name: ‘Lourens Johannes Gerdruida Johanna’ – Innes se ouma!”

In die bewaringswêreld vertel elke item ‘n verhaal. Hierdie verhale moet opgeteken word en aan jonger generasies oorgedra word. Waar daar inskripsies is, of geslagsregisters voorin Bybels, maak dit hierdie erfstukke soveel meer waardevol omdat hierdie inligting weer kan lei tot die saamstel van stambome of familiegeskiedenisse.
