Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Hier week, 25 jaar gelede, se nuus kon nie meer verwyderd wees van vandag se hoofnuusberigte oor die wêreldwye COVID-19 pandemie nie. Die hoofberig op die Zoutpansberger van 7 April 1995 handel oor die geheimsinnige moord op ‘n jong inwoner van Louis Tri chardt, die 19jarige Peter Kruger. Kruger se liggaam is Saterdagoggend, 1 April, in die veld naby die treinspoor aan die onderpunt van Munnikstraat gevind. Hy is laas lewend gesien nadat hy vir ‘n vriend in Mimosastraat die vorige aand gaan kuier het. ‘n Nadoodse ondersoek het bevind dat Kruger verwurg is. Hy het ook krap en bytmerke aan sy gesig en oor sy liggaam gehad. Die ander voorbladberig het vir baie as ‘n verrassing gekom, met die nuus dat ‘n klein krokodilletjie in die dorp kom kuier het. Die krokodilletjie is in ‘n straat in die nuwe uit breiding gevind. Volgens ‘n destydse inwo ner van Louis Trichardt, mnr. Johan Laubser, het hy in Leeustraat gery en vir ‘n “koggel mander” uitgeswaai. Toe hy langs die reptiel verbyry, kon hy sy oë nie glo nie, want dit was toe al die tyd ‘n klein krokodil. Johan het die 40cm krokodilletjie huis toe geneem en later aan die owerhede oorhandig om herves tig te word. Die vermoede het bestaan dat die krokodilletjie ontsnap het nadat iemand dit as ‘n troeteldier aangehou het. Ook op die voorblad was daar ‘n be roep deur die nuutgestigte Louis Trichardt Inwonersalliansie vir politieke partye om saam te staan met die oog op die komende munisipale verkiesing. In die vroeë stadium

van die alliansie het die organisasie bestaan uit die Nasionale Party, die Vryheidsfront, die Belastingbetalersvereniging en die Sout pansberg Afrikaanse Sakekamer. Ook op die politieke front het die hoofbe rig op bladsy drie gehandel oor die lewen dige debat wat ontstaan het tydens die maandelikse vergadering van die Groter Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad. Die debat het gehandel oor die amptelike voertaal van vergaderings, wat tot in daardie stadium hoofsaaklik Afrikaans was. Die argument was dat meeste van die nuwe raadslede nie Afrikaans magtig was nie.

One of the first victims of the coronavirus, Prof Gita Ramjee, has several family links to Louis Trichardt. Her husband, Praveen Ramjee, was born here and grew up in the town. Prof Ramjee, from Westville, died on Tuesday in the Umhlanga Hospital from COVID-19-related complications. She recently travelled to London where she visited her two sons, who live there. Prof Ramjee was a very influential and highly decorated South African scientist. At the time of her death, she was the chief scientific officer at the Aurum Institute and a former chief specialist scientist and director of the HIV Prevention Research Unit of the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC). She was married to Praveen Ramjee, a pharmacist from Durban. He is the youngest son of the late Mr Kalan Ramjee from Louis Trichardt, who owned Ramjee Store (presently Khoja’s Fabrics). The two other sons, Kishore and Tribhovan Ramjee,live in Durban.

Her younger sister, Rita, married Bhadrish Kalan, who previously lived in Louis Trichardt. The Kalan and Ramjee families are two of the pioneer trading families from the region.

“Die mensdom is glad nie in beheer nie” (Vervolg van p.1) “As jy op enige gegewe tyd by die winkel aankom, dan staan daar honderde mense met hulle trollies in die straat af in rye om in te gaan. Hulle laat net ‘n sekere hoeveelheid mense in die winkel toe op een slag. Sodra een persoon uitkom, dan kan die volgende persoon weer ingaan,” het Danie gesê. Ten spyte van die streng beperkings op mense se bewegings styg die dodetal in Italië egter steeds. “Gister of eergister, ek is nie seker wanneer dit was nie, het ons weer die rekord gebreek. Dit is asof ons elke dag ‘n rekord breek hier. Eerste rekord wat gebreek is, was 500 mense dood in ‘n dag. Die volgende dag toe was dit sommer 700. Toe, die volgende dag, was dit sommer 900. Gister is meer as 1 000 mense in een dag dood en dit lyk nie of dit beter word as ek na die statistieke kyk nie,” het Danie Sondag gesê en weereens klem geplaas op die erns wat mense met die virus moet maak. Intussen is die afsondering vir almal moeilik. “Dit is regtig moeilik. Ek sit vas hier. Die kanse dat ek enige tyd binnekort kan terugkeer Suid-Afrika toe is maar baie min. Alle vlugte in en uit Italië is gestop. Intussen doen ons wat ons kan om nie tydens kwarantyn mal te raak nie. Ek het aangesluit by die Rooikruis organisasie hier in Italië, waar ‘n paar van die rugbyspelers gaan help om kospakkies, gesigsmaskers, handskoene en sulke goed op te maak vir die mense wat dit nie kan bekostig om by ‘n winkel uit te kom nie of nie hierdie goed in die hande kan kry nie,” het Danie gesê. Volgens Danie het die hele pandemie hom weereens laat besef dat die mensdom nie in beheer is van sy eie toekoms nie. “Die mensdom is glad nie in beheer nie. Dit bly ons Heilige Vader wat in beheer is. Ek sien elke dag die ellende en die hartseer met die dinge wat hier aangaan. Maar ons probeer positief bly,” het Danie gesê.

In dieselfde asem het hy gesê hy is glad nie bekommerd dat hy die virus sal kry nie. “Ek glo ons Hemelse Vader sal my bewaar teen dit, alhoewel dit nog steeds belangrik is dat ek die nodige doen om myself te beskerm teen die virus,” het Danie gesê. Sy grootste bekommernis is vir sy familie in Suid-Afrika. “Ek is wel bekommerd oor my ouers en ouma by die huis. Ek weet hulle doen hul deel om veilig te bly, maar ek weet ook dat die mense wat nog steeds dink dit is ‘n grap ons almal en ons geliefdes in gevaar stel. Ek is hier in die middel van die gemors en ek beleef elke dag die gevaar van hierdie virus,” het Danie gesê.

Limpopo Dairy scoops up more top awards of only 23 recipients of a Qualité award during the 2020 awards ceremony. This was for their Well-known family-owned business LimHyjo full-cream choc-caramel-flavoured smooth popo Dairy outside Louis Trichardt added yoghurt. In addition, they were also voted the more accolades to their already impressive national champion in the flavoured drinking list of achievements the past few decades by yoghurt class for their Woolworth’s goat’s milk scooping up two top awards during the annual strawberry drinking yoghurt.

This is good for our staff and, of course, our first time in its 187 years - amidst the COVID-19 customers who buy our products,” said Limpopo pandemic. The judging of the competition took Dairy’s managing director, Mr Tobias Fourie. He place on 27 February in Cape Town before the added that this was once again an example of the first coronavirus case was recorded in South many good things happening in the SoutpansAfrica. However, according to Mr Johan Ehlers, berg community. “We can all be proud of what chief executive officer of Agri-Expo, the organour community achieves. We are grateful for the iser of the SA Dairy Championships since 1834, recognition,” said Fourie. they had to think innovatively about presenting this year’s awards event. In his address, Ehlers said that this year saw a record number of entries, totalling 975 products from 74 manufacturers in 107 classes. The competition is also one of the only ones that uses five judges. “Also encouraging is that 11 new manufacturers entered,” said Ehlers. The Qualité mark of excellence was established in 2001 to give recognition to outstanding dairy products. The mark is given for products scoring 26 or more points out of a possible 30 points during the competition. This means that, although a product might not be judged a national champion, it can still qualify for a Qualité award. To put things even more into perspective, only 1% to 3% of entrants receive this award. Regarding the above, Limpopo Dairy was one By Andries van Zyl

The power of example amidst COVID-19 Mr Nic Hoffmann from Louis Trichardt, writes:

f the many things we have learnt from social media and their ubiquitous presence in our lives, few truths hit home as hard as the power of example. Anyone who needs an illustration of this just needs to look on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or whichever social medium is their poison of choice, where people love putting up examples of other people’s misdeeds and transgressions without a twinge of conscience. But first, some background.

In the past few days, and possibly for many days to come, we have been and will be confronted with the sad reality that our world is no longer the same. Like a tsunami that sweeps away anything and everything in its path, COVID-19 has rushed into our lives and not only upset the applecart but just about destroyed it as well as the apple orchard and the workshop where a new applecart can be built. For all practical purposes, the world’s economy is a ship called Titanic and its iceberg bears the name Corona. Heaven knows how we would have coped with the pandemic if we did not have social media. The telephone lines would have melted, carrier pigeons would have exhausted themselves traversing the continent and smoke signals would have left an even bigger hole in the ozone as we would have made frantic efforts to communicate with each other. In this day and age, however, we can spend our time online at home while lounging around in our pyjamas and observing humanity at its worst. Especially when people spread lies, half-truths or unverified information indiscriminately, thereby causing unnecessary anxiety and, in some cases, even panic. Such behaviour can have far-reaching consequences, especially among people who are ignorant or

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe “Daarom het God Hom ook uitermate verhoog en Hom ‘n Naam gegee wat bo elke naam is ... sodat in die Naam van Jesus sou buig elke knie ...” Filippense 2:9,10.

ense skaar hulle graag by wenners, maar toe Johannes God se “Wenner” aangekondig het as ‘n “Lam” wat sonde wegneem, was die Jode glad nie beïndruk nie. Toe God self aankondig: “Dit is my geliefde Seun, in wie Ek ‘n welbehae het,” het die wêreld dit nie eens gehoor nie. Toe Jesus bid: “Vader, verheerlik U Naam” en God antwoord: “Ek het dit verheerlik, en Ek sal dit weer verheerlik” het sommige gedink ‘n engel het met Hom gepraat en ander dat dit ‘n donderslag was. Toe een van die 24 ouderlinge aankondig dat die “Leeu uit die stam van Juda” oorwin het en waardig is om die boek oop te maak en sy sewe seëls te breek, sien hulle ‘n “Lam asof Hy geslag is” in die middel van die troon (Openbaring 5).

Tydens sy vernedering as mens het slegs enkeles Hom geëer, soos die wyse manne wat Hom goud, wierook en mirre gebring het, Maria wat haar salfolie op hom gegiet het, die dissipels wat uitgeroep het: Waarlik, U is die Seun van God” en die kwaaddoener wat gesê het: “Here, dink aan my as U in U koninkryk kom”. Maar ontelbare menigtes in die hemel aanbid spontaan die Lam op die troon, en sing Hom die lof en eer toe wat so ‘n Verlosser en Oorwinnaar soos Hy alleen toekom. As mense en engele herhaaldelik in Psalm 24 vra: “Wie is dan tog die Erekoning?” is die antwoord: “Die HERE, sterk en geweldig, die HERE geweldig in die stryd.” As hulle in Jesaja 63 verwonderd vra: “Wie is dit wat daar aankom uit Edom, met bloedrooi klere uit Bosra?” kom die antwoord: “Hy daar, pragtig in sy gewaad, wat agteroor buig in die volheid van sy krag...” Heerlik, triomferende opstandingskrag! - Ds. Johan Marais (Baptistekerk Louis Trichardt).

uninformed. Why all this negativity, you might well ask. Have I no faith in the innate goodness of mankind? Does the term ubuntu mean nothing to me? Have I never seen how good people step up and do what needs to be done in the face of adversity? Is the saying “Cometh the hour, cometh the man” a product of some deluded fool’s propensity for naïve optimism? Well, I find it just a bit hard not to be cynical when I look around me and observe the behaviour of my countrymen and, to my everlasting shame, my own. In essence, we are selfish, arrogant animals with our own comfort and wellbeing as our biggest priority. Yes, we sometimes make an effort to be altruistic and occasionally succeed in deluding ourselves that we are not as bad as some people – those others who flaunt the rules and behave like total assholes while driving, shopping, watching a movie, eating out or working alongside us, aggravating us and the rest of humanity no end. What we neglect to do (and please note that I do not use the word “fail” here, since that implies a measure of guiltlessness), however, is to see ourselves as we really are. We cannot talk about “us” and “them” as if what we do is any different from what anybody and everybody else does. How so? Let me take myself as example (poor example that I am, regardless of what my mother thought of me as her baby) in this time of social upheaval. I fully understand the need for social distancing and isolation to reduce the risk of infection. I agree with all the calls for staying at home and not making unnecessary trips anywhere, regardless of how much this inconveniences me and my need for gregarious interaction with my fellow man (and woman). BUT, what happens if I need something urgently: dog or cat food (cannot let them starve); gas (the stove/braai cannot function without it); washing powder (Surf is my brand, man); meat/

biltong (no explanation needed); milk (doing lots of baking and cooking to keep busy and feed the family); loo paper (no explanation needed); batteries (never know when Eskom strikes again); soap and sanitiser (no explanation needed); sugar (essential for baking and I refuse to drink bitter coffee or tea) … the list goes on. Fact is, I can come up with umpteen excuses why I quickly need to pop into town. Which brings me to the point of this whole epistle: What kind of an example are we setting for others? We all know (hopefully) that we learn from the example set by others. When they are young, we teach our children to do as we say and not to do as we do. (That in itself tells us something about ourselves – the fact that what we do and say do not necessarily coincide, and we know that.) However, we continue to expect others to obey the rules while finding excuse after excuse why we should be allowed to be the exception. Just think a bit – if you swear (I do), you have a good reason (some idiot drove in front of you, nearly caused an accident, does not know in how much of a hurry you are, does not understand how a traffic circle works, refuses to make room to let you pass, must be blind not to see the stop sign, etc.) If everyone is supposed to stay home to help fight against the coronavirus (I do, mostly), my reason for going to town is definitely more important than anybody else’s (see previous paragraph). If we think that only children learn by the example set by others, think again, dear reader! If we see someone ignoring a rule/regulation/ law/prohibition, our first instinct is NOT usually to obey said rule/regulation/law/prohibition. NO, our first thought is usually: “If that idiot can get away with it, why shouldn’t I?” or “Why should that idiot be allowed to get away with it?” while entertaining all sorts of vengeful, retaliatory thoughts. Or, yes but my need to do this is very great and I should therefore be allowed to do it? Is that not human nature? And before you know it, you are seriously considering doing that exact same thing. How many times have you thought about the fact that you are guilty of the same kind of behaviour while blissfully or deliberately ignoring what you know to be the right thing? Skipping the stop street while staring straight in front of you, just in case someone is approaching from the left or right? Pretending not to see the driver patiently waiting for someone to vacate that parking space you want? Someone wise – I forget who – once said that how civilised we are depends on the extent to which we can ignore and overcome our baser instincts, i.e. how successful we are in not succumbing to our first instinctive urges when faced with a situation (very often an unpleasant one that places us in conflict with others, nature, the world, society, etc.). That is the very reason, dear reader, that I am sometimes driven to despair and cynical thoughts about the human condition.

Getting ready for a possible crisis

Additional triage and desensitisation areas at private hospital COVID-19 News

Amidst ever-growing fears of a dramatic increase in COVID-19 cases over the next few weeks, the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital continues implementing measures to handle a possible crisis. On Wednesday, the hospital staff distributed a letter to all the neighbours, informing them of what is being planned at the hospital over the next few day. “As you have probably seen during the past week and will see in future days, we are busy preparing for a possible increase of patients arriving for screening and testing for COVID-19. However, there is no need to worry; every possible precaution has been taken to keep everybody safe during this time. Our in-patients, our personnel and our doctors are our priority, as we strive to support and care for our community,” the letter states. Among the steps taken is the erection of tents in the parking area adjacent to the hospital to act as additional triage and desensitisation areas. In the meantime, the hospital’s manager, Ms Anneke Stroebel thanked everyone in advance for supporting all the health professionals by staying home and washing their hands. “Remember: You are not stuck at home; you are safe at home. One word can change your attitude and one cough van change your life,” said Stroebel. She invited residents to phone them at 087 945 3271/2 if they should require more information.
