Belastingbetalers geforseer om kragopwekkers te gebruik, nadat munisipaliteit begin om hul krag te sny
Raad sny krag ... maar belastingbetalers nie geïntimideer nie Deur Linda van der Westhuizen
Malorie, die getroue wagter van die Walkenshaw-gesin in Joubertstraat, Louis Trichardt, het die afgelope Sondag ´n nare situasie eiehandig ontlont. Gregory (9) en Meghan (11) het buite die huis gespeel toe hulle ´n groot slang in die tuin opmerk. Hulle het dadelik vir ma Bernadette en pa Cyril gaan roep. Hulle hulp was egter nie nodig nie, want by nadere ondersoek het hulle gemerk dat Malorie sommer alleen die slang doodgebyt het. “Die slang het soos ‘n siffie gelyk,” het pa Cyril vertel. ´n Vriend het later die slang as ‘n Mosambiekse spoegkobra geïdentifiseer.
Die kragopwekkers brul, maar die meeste lede van die belastingbetalersvereniging gaan hulle nie laat intimideer deur die Makhado Munisipaliteit nie. Die Makhado Munisipaliteit het verlede week begin om lede van die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging (SBBV) te teiken en hulle elektrisiteitsvoorsiening af te sny. Die eerste twee lede se krag is afgesny op Dinsdag, 24 Januarie. Hierdie week Maandag en Dinsdag is ‘n groot aantal lede se elektrisiteitsvoorsiening gestaak. Die SBBV het dadelik aan die werk gespring en die bestuurder van die vereniging, me. Aretha Smith, het ‘n paar dae in Pretoria deurgebring en saam met mnr. Jaap Kelder, voorsitter van die Nasionale Belastingbetalersunie (NBU), en adv. Denny du Preez om ‘n tafel gesit. “Die hofaansoeke is gereedgemaak om die munisipaliteit te verplig om die elektrisiteitsvoorsiening weer aan te sluit. Dit word na alle waarskynlikheid hierdie week op die munisipaliteit beteken,” het die SBBV voorsitter, me. Inga Gilfillan, gesê. Die hofaansoek het betrekking op die twee lede wie se krag eerste afgesny is. “Die uitslag van die eerste twee behoort

outomaties van toepassing op die ander te wees. Indien nie, sal ‘n massa aansoek volg,” het Kelder gesê. “Ons poog om ‘n kostebevel teen die munisipaliteit te verkry wat die regskostes en dan ook die kostes van die kragopwekkers en brandstof sal insluit,” het Gilfillan gesê. Dinsdag was baie bedrywig met die verkryging van kragopwekkers vir die lede. Teen 20:00 is die laaste kragopwekker afgelewer. “Ek is verbaas oor die welwillendheid van die mense en ook hulle vasberadenheid om nie geïntimideer te word nie. Hulle sê hulle gaan vasbyt en hierdie ding eens en vir altyd uitsorteer,” sê Gilfillan. “Ons het dit mos verwag,” het mnr. Godfrey Went gesê, nadat sy kragvoorsiening gesny is. Lede betaal hul munisipale rekening se geld by ‘n trustfonds in, asook ‘n 4% of 5 % heffing. Die verbruikgedeelte word maandeliks aan die munisipaliteit oorbetaal en die res teruggehou. Dié weerhoudingsaksie is al drie-en-‘n-halfjaar lank aan die gang, nadat die SBBV ‘n dispuut met die munisipaliteit verklaar het oor swak dienslewering en wanbestuur. Daar word nie aan die munisipale geld in die trust geraak nie en die ekstra heffing finansier die huur van die kragopwekkers. “Sover ons weet, is al ons lede getei-
ken,” sê Gilfillan. Munisipale woordvoerder mnr. Louis Bobodi het Dinsdag gesê dat hulle aan al die SBBV-lede kennisgewings gestuur het en dat hulle sover al “90 van 212” se krag gesny het. Die rede wat aangevoer word, is “nie-betaling en agterstallige betaling”. Bobodi het gesê dat al die noodsaaklike regulasies in plek is om die kragvoorsiening af te sny. “Hy lieg deur sy tande,” was Kelder se kommentaar. “Die konsep regulasies moet beskikbaar wees vir kommentaar en besware. Dit is eers in Desember verlede jaar gedoen. Dan moet daar ‘n bewese konsultasieproses wees voordat die munisipaliteit se kredietbeheermaatreëls gepromulgeer word. Die tarief regulasies moet ook in plek wees,” sê Kelder. Die munisipaliteit het die uitnodiging vir kommentaar en besware teen die konsep regulasies op 9 Desember geadverteer. Geskrewe kommentaar, aanbevelings en besware moet voor 29 Februarie ingedien word. Bobodi het gesê dat, buiten die regulasies, die stelselwet en eiendomsbelastingwet ook in plek is. Intussen is die SBBV besig met die voorbereiding van ‘n aansoek vir beslegting in die hof. Dié aansoek raak nie net die elektrisiteit aan nie, maar sluit die hele dispuut en wanbestuur in.

Bye sorg vir groot konsternasie by skool
This monstrosity of a pumpkin was on display at the OK Grocer in Louis Trichardt the past week. Pulling the scale at 80kg, it drew quite a few comments and stares from shoppers. A few even stopped to check if it was real. This Atlantic Giant was grown by local clivia framer Celia Guillaume. Seeds, for those who are interested, are available at OK Grocer. Posing with the pumpkin is Lufuno Makongodza. By Isabel Venter
Rambau’s hearing again postponed The final score in Senior Magistrate Ronnie Rambau’s pending disciplinary hearing remains to be settled. Rambau’s hearing was postponed to 25 January after he failed to appear at a hearing in November last year, shortly before he was expected to start testifying in his corruption trail. Rambau, accused of accepting bribe money to influence court cases, was supposed to be at the hearing, but instead was spotted
at the Hajee Noor Centre in Louis Trichardt while he was, according to his advocate, in hospital with a severe stomach illness. He is, according to magistrate’s commission secretary Mr Danie Schoeman, stil receiving his full salary, despite the fact that he has not been allowed back in his office. Schoeman was unable to provide any information regarding the hearing or the investigation into Rambau’s alleged misconduct when he re-
ported sick to the commission. “The hearing did not continue on 25 January and we are currently in the process of arranging a new date with Rambau’s legal representative,” said Schoeman on Tuesday. In the meantime, the corruption case against Rambau and his co-accused, prosecutor Estene Willemse and attorney T E Lubisi, is still set to continue in Musina from 21 to 25 May this year.
‘n Aggressiewe swerm bye het Dinsdag gesorg vir chaos by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt. Teen die middag was ‘n warboel van tasse, selfone en ander persoonlike besittings van leerlinge die engiste getuienis van die drama wat homself afgespeel het tydens die laaste skoolperiode. Omstreeks 12:30, vertel adjunk-hoof mnr. Theo Muller, het alle hel los gebreek in die Graad 10 wetenskapklas. Volgens een Graad 8-leerling, Natasha Janse van Rensburg, het haar klas langsaan eers nie besef wat gebeur nie. “Ons het net gehoor hoe kinders begin skreeu,” het sy Dinsdagaand gesê. Die bye het Natasha bykans 15 keer op haar rug bygekom. Dit was toe Natasha en haar maats die klas verdaag dat hulle sien hoe leerlinge histeries probeer wegvlug van die bye. Die swerm het teen dié tyd, vertel leerlinge en onderwysers, in ‘n massiewe swart massa oor die skool se vierkant gehang. “Daar was een meisie wat nie ‘n oop plekkie op haar gehad het soos wat die bye haar gesteek het nie,” het Natasha vertel. Nog ‘n leerling, Phuluso Madala (Graad 9), is ook ‘n paar keer deur die woedende bye bygekom. Hy moes mediese behandeling ontvang, nadat hy gesukkel het om asem te haal. Dylan van Zyl (Graad 8) onthou net hoe almal rondgeskarrel het om weg te kom van die bye. “Daar was tyd vir niks! Ek het net my tas neergegooi en weggehardloop. 'n Ander kind het in die skoolsaal ingekom met haar klere vol bye!” Dit was nie net die leerlinge wat deurgeloop het nie. Personeellede moes ook tekkies uitpak om weg te kom van die bye. Nadat die bye leerlinge agtervolg het tot in die vierkant, het almal skuiling gaan soek in die saal. Hier het party onderwysers begin om die bye met gif te spuit, terwyl ander begin het om salf en antihistamien uit te deel. Ouers wat by die skool opgedaag het om kinders op te laai, het ook ingespring en van die kinders wat allergiese reaksies getoon het na hospitale en dokters begin aanry. Natasha vertel dat Pa Piet haar in die skoolkan-
toor gekry het waar onderwysers besig was om haar en ander leerlinge se wonde met spiritus te behandel. “My pa het vir ons pilletjies gegee om te drink en gehelp om salf aan te smeer voordat hy ons dokter toe gevat het.” Muller het Woensdagoggend bevestig dat ‘n vinnig opname aan die lig gebring het dat altesaam 174 leerlinge en 14 personeellede meer as een keer deur die bye gesteek is. 'n Maatskappy is kort na die voorval gehuur om die bye te kom vernietig en teen Woensdag kon die leerlinge weer terugkeer skool toe. Muller het namens die skool al die ouers bedank wat gehelp het om leerlinge te behandel.
Mnr. Ralph Harding, bekende wetenskaponderwyser van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, het op 31 Januarie afgetree. Mnr. Harding het 33 jaar onderwys gegee, waarvan 15 jaar by die plaaslike hoërskool was. Hy het op 4 Januarie vanjaar 65 geword en volgens departementele beleid tree ‘n onderwyser af aan die einde van die maand waarop hy 65 word. Mnr. Harding, met sy onderwysvaardighede en belangrike vakgebied, is dadelik opgeraap deur die CVO skool op Vivo.

Hodes het hom veral toegespits op polisiedagboeke wat gehou is en interne korrespondensie met die Direkteur van Openbare Vervolging (DOV) tydens die operasie.

Hulle het beweer dat polisie-agente wat in die lokval gebruik is nie die DOV se instruksies met betrekking tot die lokval nagekom het nie.

Lede van die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens mag dalk hulp verleen het aan bendes wat onder meer onwettige Zimbabwiese sigarette die land in gesmokkel het. Dié bewerings is gemaak tydens die hofsaak van vier mans wat daarvan beskuldig word dat hulle oor ‘n tydperk van ‘n jaar nagenoeg R6 miljoen in onwettige sigarette oor die grens na Suid-Afrika gesmokkel het. Evan Swanson (Gauteng), Nndawakhulu Alfred Nefolovhodwe (Zimbabwe) en Roy en Oliver Muleya (beide van Musina) is tydens ‘n polisielokval, genaamd Projek Cheetah, aangekeer. Hulle is saam met nog vier verdagtes vroeg in Januarie 2006 in hegtenis geneem. Die ander vier beskuldigdes, Linah Sibanda, Gladys Makhado, Selinah Choga en Mike RD Wright het egter kort ná hul arrestasie ‘n pleit- en vonnisooreenkoms met die Staat aangegaan. Wright het erken dat hy onwettige sigarette oor die Zimbabwe-grens na Suid-Afrika vervoer het. Hy is gevonnis tot drie jaar gevangenisstraf of ‘n R50 000 boete. Sy vonnis is gedeeltelik opgeskort. Sibanda, Makhado en Choga is elkeen met R30 000 beboet. Swanson en sy medebeskuldigdes het egter besluit om eerder onskuldig te pleit en die Staat die stryd aan te sê. Beide Swanson en Roy het ‘n gedugte regspan aangestel. Muleya en Nefolovhodwe word deur advokaat Anton Kilian verteenwoordig, terwyl senior raadslid advokaat en waarnemende regter Max Hodes deur Roy aangestel is om hom te verdedig. Hodes is veral bekend vir sy betrokkenheid by die moordverhoor van Brett Kebble en die korrupsieaak teen voormalige nasionale polisiehoof Jackie Selebe, asook selferkende dwelmbaas Glen Agliotti. Swanson word verteenwoordig deur me. Vanessa van Wyk van Musina. Tydens die verhoor, wat verlede Maandag tot Vrydag in die streekhof in Louis Trichardt aangehoor is, het die vier beskuldigdes se regspan ‘n aansoek gebring om die Staat te forseer om

Die bestuurder van ‘n swaarvragmotor wat ‘n vrag hout na Haenertsburg vervoer het word deur mediese personeel behandel, nadat hy hom misgis het met die Witvlag-aansluiting met die N1 net noord van Louis Trichardt. Hy kon nie betyds stop nie. Hy het gepoog om in die N1 in te swaai, maar in die proses het die vragmotor omgeslaan. Hy het erge kopbesering in die ongeluk opgedoen. Die ongeluk het Maandagmiddag plaasgevind.
For the passengers of this minibus taxi, Monday got off to a rough start. Fortunately, nobody was injured when the driver of the taxi collided with a scooter in front of the municipal workshop on the corner of Vorster and Burger Street in Louis Trichardt. Passengers, however, were left scrambling for their end destinations as a crowd of onlookers gathered around the scene of the accident.
Regs: Die bestuurder van dié bakkie het volgens inligting verlede Saterdagaand hom misgis met die spoedwalle naby die treinkruising in Kortstraat in Louis Trichardt en teen ´n hoë spoed oor die spoedwal getrek. Met dié het daar vermoedelik ´n batterykabel losgekom wat ´n kortsluiting veroorsaak het. Kort ná die spoedwal moes die bestuurder noodgedwonge stop toe die bakkie aan die brand slaan. Minute na die voorval was die bakkie feitlik uitgebrand. Niemand is in die voorval beseer nie. By Linda van der Westhuizen

Why was the latest report by the auditor-general not included in the agenda or tabled at this week’s Council meeting of the Makhado Municipality? Although the report of the auditor general (AG)was signed by the Polokwane office of the AG on 30 November last year and released to the municipality, it was not included in the more-than-400page agenda. “We will see if a supplement will be handed out at the meeting, as often happens,” DA Cllr Annette Kennealy said before the Council meeting that commenced at 14:00 on 31 January. According to information obtained from the AG’s Polokwane office, the latest AG report was to serve at this week’s Council meeting. To this effect, the municipality was asked whether the latest AG report would be discussed at this week’s Council meeting. This question and all other questions pertaining to the report
were brushed aside with the answer “No further comment on this issue until it is considered and discussed by the Council,” from municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi. The DA’s local caucus leader, Cllr Brian du Plooy, confirmed after the Council meeting that the AG’s report of 2010/11 had not served at the financial portfolio committee or the executive committee or at this week’s council meeting. The DA expressed grave concern that the AG’s report for 2010/11 had been withheld from the executive committee and Council. “However, the mid-term internal audit committee’s report has been released. On the face of that, the DA is worried about some aspects,” Kennealy said. “Only 14% of budgeted capital expenditure has been utilised. This raises question about the continued maintenance and upgrading of basic infrastructure,” Kennealy said.
Unspent conditional grants amounting to R36.2 million were another disturbing matter. Kennealy said that unspent conditional grants might be refunded to the national revenue fund unless the municipality could prove to Treasury the extent to which the funds had been committed. “Why have these funds not been committed to vital infrastructure projects?” asks Kennealy. Accurate reporting remains a problem. The income and expenditure report indicates revenue collection, such as rates and electricity, to be above the figures budgeted for collection. “However, the audit committee states that, of the mid-term budgeted revenue of R212 million, only R151 million was collected. According to the committee, the municipality under-collected by R61 million. The R61 million does not appear in the income and expenditure report, although the income-and-expenditure report appears healthy,” Kennealy said.

“Harsh actions will be taken against them,” says Ludere The Chief Whip of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr Rudzani Ludere, said this week that the issues which members of the South African Municipal Workers Union were raising were very serious. He said that workers were not just making unfounded allegations. Ludere was commenting on allegations made by SAMWU members of the irregular awarding of tenders. “Serious investigations need to be conducted into the matter, and whoever is found guilty will face the consequences,” Ludere said. SAMWU members are adamant that corruption is rife when tenders are being awarded. In a memorandum, the union says that people are awarded tenders when their businesses are not compliant and that staff members are given instructions on who should be awarded tenders. Ludere said that whoever was involved wanted to dent the image of the ANC as the ruling party.
“It is not the ANC’s (policy) that such things be happening in the municipality. This is being done by individuals who want to enrich themselves,” he said. Ludere warned that harsh action would be taken against individuals and companies found to be involved in corruption. Meanwhile, the regional chairperson for the ANCYL in the Makhado sub-region, Thilivhali Ramashidzha, said the youth league was not happy about what was happening at the municipality “as it affects service delivery”. He said that it was clear that the top management was not ready to serve the community. “It is a very disturbing matter, when one looks at the high unemployment rate young people are faced with. Corrupt officials must just go,” said Ramashidzha. He said that the youth league was ready to pursue the matter further until the workers’ demands were met. SAMWU members picketed outside the Makhado Municipality´s Chief Whip, Cllr municipality’s gate on Tuesday. Rudzani Ludere.

Suspected rhino poacher shot dead A suspected Zambian poacher was shot dead by the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Man agement Authority (ZPWMA) rangers at Tshakabika game reserve outside Beit Bridge last Wednesday as the
authority intensified the war against the poaching of rhinos. The incident came after the authority lost 23 rhinos last year to poachers, a decrease in rhino deaths after 52 were lost in 2010. ZPWMA public relations man-
ager Ms Carol Washaya-Moyo said the poacher was part of a group of three who were spotted by game rangers who were on an anti-poaching patrol in the Tshakabika area of Sinamatela National Park on 25 January. “During an effort to effect an arrest, the three poachers resisted and fired shots at the rangers. It was in this process that our rangers returned fire and the gunner was shot and killed,” she said. Washaya-Moyo said an AK47 assault rifle, 34 AK47 rounds, a Zambian Sunday Post newspaper, one axe, 15 kilogrammes of mealiemeal with a Zambian label, four kilogrammes of rice, a torch, a mosquito net, two kilogrammes of sugar, a Nokia 1208 cellphone with a Zambian network line, a knife, a raincoat, a small elephant tusk and cooking pots were recovered.“The Zimbabw e Parks and Wildlife Management Authority and the police Luzelle Brown, dogter van wyle Eric en Sophia Brown, is op 10 have since intensified Desember verlede jaar in die huwelik bevestig met Servaas Wahl, investigations in an efseun van Stienie Fourie en wyle Ferdinand Wahl.

Bobodi said that neither the municipality nor Tshikalange had been contacted by any law enforcement agency. He said that the municipality only became “aware of the criminal charges against him” (municipal manager) after reading the Zoutpansberger. “Even if it can later be confirmed by the law enforcement agency that criminal charges were pressed against him on the above issue, the municipality will not be in a position to comment as the matter will then be sub judice,” Bobodi stated.

Tshikalange in his capacity as municipal manager and accounting officer of the municipality was in terms of the Municipal Finance Management Act and according to the auditor general’s report for the financial year ending 30 June 2010. The alleged acts of financial misconduct were spelt out in a letter to Tshikalange. The letter was compiled by the SRPA and was dated 14 November last year, but was not responded to in the prescribed 30-day period. The SRPA also addressed a letter in this regard to the Public Protector. Last week, Tshikalange told the Zoutpansberger that he would give his comment on the

“No law enforcement agency contacted me,” was the comment of the municipal manager of the Makhado Municipality. This after the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) requested the Makhado SAPS to investigate criminal charges against him. The request was made by the SRPA on 24 January and the local station commander, Col Francis Ramovha, signed acknowledgement of receipt and said that the investigation would probably be undertaken by the commercial unit in Polokwane. The SRPA said that the investigation of criminal charges against Mr Shadrack

Bobodi gave the assurance that the bins will be “nicely painted and delivered to the complex.” Hawkers’ stalls, adjacent to the Eltivillas business complex, started to smell after no refuse had He gave no indication when this been removed for two days.

Business owners in the Eltivillas complex, who want to remain anonymous out of fear of intimidation, confirmed that no refuse had been removed for two days at the time of the newspaper’s visit. Municipal concrete litter bins that had been placed along the sidewalks in the complex were removed. Six months later, these bins have not been returned. Needless to say, this situation has forced people to make their own arrangements in respect of refuse removal. This begs the question, as more than one

Following an action plan tabled between the Makhado Municipality and the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) last year, Eltivillas residents’ frustrations in respect of poor service delivery have continued to mount. Besides living through last week’s colossal water crisis in Louis Trichardt, Eltivillas residents and businessmen still had to deal with lacerated streets and hawker markets that reeked. An on-site visit by the Zoutpansberger in Eltivillas on 20 January echoed residents’ complaints and concerns. As far as the eye could see, rotten refuse lined the streets, and not only in the business complex, but in the residential area as well. According to the SRPA/municipal action plan, First, Fifth

In memoriam
Minlike tannie Fritzie Lombard sterf ná kort siekbed Minlike tannie Fritzie Lombard (88) van Louis Trichardt is skielik na ‘n siekbed van drie dae oorlede. Dit was ‘n geweldige skok vir familie en vriende, wat tannie Fritzie net altyd as vlytig en vrolik geken het. “Die laaste twee weke het ons gedink sy voel nie so goed nie, maar sy het net nog meer op haar naaldwerkmasjien gewerk. Vrydag en Saterdag het sy bloed opgegooi en Sondagoggend, 29 Januarie, om 08:30 is sy oorlede,” vertel haar enigste seun, mnr. Ronnie Sutherland. “Sy was ‘n goeie, goeie vrou en ma, altyd be-
gaan oor haar kinders, kleinkinders en agterkleinkinders,” sê oom Pierre Lombard. Tannie Fritzie se eerste man het vroeg afgesterwe en sy het op 19 Desember 1959 met Pierre op Cullinan in die huwelik getree. Die egpaar was geseënd om 51 jaar saam gespaar te wees. Die Lombards het ‘n aantal jare op die plaas “Mondig” in die Beja omgewing gewoon, voordat hulle 40 jaar gelede na Louis Trichardt verhuis het. Die liefde en mooi gesindheid wat tannie Fritzie uitgestraal het, was so opvallend dat mense van enige ouderdom, status en ras haar drumpel in Krugerstraat 63 deurgetrap het. Niemand het daar weggegaan sonder dat sy versnaperings of kos vir hulle voorgesit het nie. “Sy het haar altyd oor almal ontferm,” sê haar seun. Sy was geliefd onder die Venda-mense en was groot vriende met sommige ministers van die destydse Venda regering. Tannie Fritzie se huis spreek van haar kunstige handewerk, asook die wyse waarop sy alles netjies in stand gehou het. Sy was baie musikaal en het op gehoor op haar orrel gespeel. Nie almal weet dat sy ‘n soldaat in die tweede Wêreldoorlog was en ook vir die soldate uniforms vervaardig
het nie. Niks kon vir tannie Fritzie onderkry nie. Na ‘n fraktuur in haar heupbeen twee jaar gelede, het sy in traksie gelê en merkwaardig herstel. Tannie Fritzie was ‘n nooi Venter en is in Heidelberg gebore. Volgens die familie is sy in 1922 gebore en sou sy hierdie jaar haar 90ste verjaardag vier. Haar identiteitsboekie wat in 1997 uitgereik is, gee egter haar geboortedatum as 17 Oktober 1923 aan. “Kom ons hou maar by die dokument,” sê haar eggenoot. Wyle Tannie Fritzie laat haar eggenoot, seun, een oorlewende suster, Lily Bezuidenhout, kleinkinders Quinton, Vincent, Charné, Raymond en Cemoné en vyf agterkleinkinders agter. Die dankdiens vir haar lewe word op Vrydag, 3 Februarie om 11:00 deur ds. Jan Pretorius in die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt-gemeente in Erasmusstraat waargeneem. ‘n Spesiale woord van dank gaan aan dr. Govind, wat die laaste paar dae baie ure by haar deurgebring het, ds. Jan Pretorius, me. Lily Bezuidenhout, Joao en Anthea Lombard, Christo en Kate Lombard, al die familie, asook al die familie en vriende wat oproepe gemaak het en op een of ander wyse bemoediging en bystand verleen het.

Wyle mnr. Neels Bekker (54). Foto verskaf. In memoriam
Neels verloor kankerstryd Dit was met groot hartseer wat familie en vriende op Vrydag, 20 Januarie, afskeid geneem het van mnr. Cornelius Johannes Bekker, of Neels soos almal hom geken het. ‘n Roudiens is vir wyle Neels vanuit die NG. Kerk Louis Trichardt gemeente gehou, nadat hy op 16 Januarie in die ouderdom van 54 jaar sy stryd teen kanker verloor het. Hy is in Maart 2010 met karsionidekanker in die dunderm gediagnoseer wat reeds na die lewer versprei het. Neels was vir jare betrokke by sy onderneming, Bekker Bore & Pompe, waar hy altyd bereid was om die ekstra myl vir sy kliënte te loop. Hy was altyd gewillig om sy kennis met almal te deel en niks was vir Neels te groot of te klein nie. Hy het alles altyd met ywer aangepak en ‘n groot sukses daarvan gemaak. Neels sal onthou word vir sy sagmoedigheid, rustigheid, vrygewigheid en droë sin vir humor. Neels word oorleef deur sy vrou Helen en kinders, sy enigste dogter Alisia, sy moeder Ouma Jackie, susters Ingrid en Marie, asook sy broer Martin.

Stock theft brings farmer to his knees A spate of stock theft cases has scared the hell out of Mashudu Dombo, an emerging farmer who was aspiring to be one of the best stock farmers in the Vhembe district. As a result, Dombo (41) of Khakhanwa outside Thohoyandou is contemplating calling it quits and focusing on something else. “I think that someone is jealous of my achievements as I have seen some of my beasts mutilated,” he adds. Dombo started farming in 2009 and boasts with a herd of more than 50 cattle, sheep and goats. This is despite the fact Distressed stock farmer Mashudu Dombo stands hopelessly before his herd of cattle. He is that he has lost a lot of stock over contemplating leaving livestock farming for good because of the spiralling theft in the area. the years. “At first I thought it was norKennisgewing mal, as we used to hear of people losing their stock to thieves, but what is happening to me is something that I cannot live with,” he “Dit het nou al verskeie kere gebeur dat die says showing a bit of strain. “I am Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het inwoners vriendelik versoek om nie met hul troeteldiere op die troeteldiere, spesifiek honde, die kinders wil byt as thinking of relocating and leaving hulle oefen,” sê die skool se me.

farming completely,” he adds. Dombo says his lofty ambitions to become a top stock farmer have been dealt a severe blow by those lunatics who are hellbent on frustrating him by stealing and mutilating his beasts. The last straw happened two weeks ago when he found one of his goats with its genitals cut off. “Such cruelty is something one cannot fathom and it is patently clear that the person just wanted me to feel pain. Instead of killing the the goat, he just decided to cut the genitals off the animal and left it in agonizing pain that led to its death,” he said. He attributes all this to jealousy. “When someone succeeds, there are obviously others who want to knock him down.” Dombo says his stay at Khakhanwa has not been a good one as some of his stock just come back from the bush with their limbs broken and some with their eyes gouged
out. “Somebody is worried about my achievements. I have reported this to the local traditional leader. I am just waiting for a response from him and then I will reconsider my stay at the village. I am still young and I thought that I would be a role model to other youths that they could succeed in farming, but my dream seems to be something that I cannot reach,” he says. Dombo says farming has run in the family for many years and he was just continuing the family tradition. “I love farming, but with the spate of thefts and these mutilations, one could be forced out of the trade,” he says. He is appealing to all who, for reasons that are unknown to him, are destroying his vision, to please stop it. “I worked very hard to be where I am. I started with only one cow and see where I am today, but somebody is busy destroying my vision,” he says angrily.

Dankie aan al die staatmakers
“Die skrif is reeds aan die muur”
E
W
k wil graag hiermee vir die dorpswaglede en al die manne wat ons gereeld in die nagte kom help as ons in die bosse gaan loop of sit, baie dankie sê vir hul opoffering. Ek weet ons maak soms inbreuk op jul kuieraande en julle los jul hennetjies alleen by die huis, maar ons waardeer dit. Ek kan ongelukkig nie al die name noem nie, bang ek laat een uit, maar die betrokke persone sal weet van wie ons praat. Ek weet ons werk soms laat nagte
en ongereelde ure in koue en reën, maar niks laat ons afsit nie en ons het darem al suksesse gehad met die oefeninge. Baie dankie vir jul opoffering van jul tyd, terwyl daar baie ander manne is wat lekker kuier en slaap en ons groepie probeer saam met die SAPD om misdaad te bekamp. Baie dankie aan al die staatma kers. - Dirk Meissenheimer (Voorsitter: Soutpansberg Dorpswag)

Who picks up the tab for the subsidy in electricity amidst squandering?
G
iven the background of ineffective service delivery, rampant corruption and a bankrupt province it is necessary to question the electrical subsidy given to lower wage earners. An employee approached me and requested that I issue a pay slip indicating a wage of R600.00. Two things immediately come to mind; namely the fact that this is fraudulent and corrupt and secondly that it places me as an employer at risk of being prosecuted for paying way below the minimum wage. The employee in question earns four times this amount, has a Blackberry and DSTV. It seems the pay slip is necessary to qualify for an electricity subsidy and a toilet at the home of the applicant. The subsidy amounts
to 50% - that means when the employee pays for R50.00 electricity the amount provided is R100.00. Do you or I qualify for this? There is no such thing as a free lunch. So who, dare I ask, is picking up the tab for this expense? All this while Eskom is asking, no DEMANDING, that consumers reduce their consumption by 10% or face electricity cuts. Most consumers that I know have had electricity accounts for January which are double the usual amount. It appears we, the tax paying citizens, are the suckers who are picking up the tab, while our taxes are being squandered on party parties, bribery, corruption and arrogant, strategically inept fat cats in fast cars with tinted windows. - Bruce Murray

Dié twee sal nie weer die bus verpas
E
k wil graag baie dankie sê aan die vrou wat die twee seuns van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt langs die N1 opgelaai het. Die twee het die bus na die lugmagbasis gemis en die vrou het langs hul gestop net anderkant
Northgate Lodge. Dankie dat jy jou oor hulle ontferm het. Hulle het ‘n groot skrik gekry en maak nou seker dat hulle die bus haal elke dag. Baie, baie dankie. - Net ‘n ma
eek na week is daar berigte in die Zoutpansberger oor probleme met dienslewering, oor die Makhado Munisipaliteit wat dreig om die SBBV te dagvaar vir belastings wat teruggehou word, oor die SBBV wat ‘n ondersoek deur die SAPD wil laat doen na die doen en late van amptenare in die munisipaliteit, oor miljoene Rande wat weg is, oor ‘n munisipale rekening wat R194 miljoen in die rooi is, oor kru onbeskofte amptenare, en so kan die prentjie uitgebou word. Week na week moet ons sien hoe dienste verder verval, hoe ons grondwetlike regte verkrag word, hoe Louis Trichardt stadig maar seker ontpop in ‘n bewoonde brommer- en vliegbesmette vullishoop omring deur stinkende rioolstortings. Vir al die genoemde probleme is daar, volgens die arme munisipale woordvoerder, spesiale planne in werking gestel om die probleme op te los en te oorbrug. Meestal is die antwoord op navrae hol en niksseggend, sonder enige bewys van enige spesiale plan. Omdat munisipaliteite die eerste linie van regering vorm, gevolg deur die provinsiale regering en, die kersie op die koek, die nasionale regering, sal die publiek se interaksie met hoofsaaklik die munisipaliteite die kern vorm van die publieke mening en prentjie van die regering van die land. Dus word die publieke ervaring ook weerspieël en ondervind in die twee hoër vlakke van regering en wel minder intens, omdat dit nie die landsburger se bestaan van dag tot dag so direk raak nie. Die laer impak op die twee hoër regeringsvlakke kan toegeskryf word daaraan dat die probleme meestal indirek deur beriggewing in die gedrukte media, radio en televisie gerapporteer word. Die situasie is besig om stadig maar seker te verander, dalk vinniger as wat algemeen vermoed word. Bykans daagliks is daar nuusberigte van provinsiale, sowel as nasionale, staatsdepartemente, wat gestriem
Ons menslike spesie is voorwaar ‘n vreemde klomp
N
a ‘n lang stilte is die Gewone Man weer terug. Dit is we liswaar nie weens geweldige druk van honderde of duisende lesers nie. Soos al vroeër gesê, val rubrieke soos dié nie in almal se smaak nie, wat waarskynlik goed is. Die Gewone Man is terug omdat hy nie anders kan as om te skryf nie. Moontlik is dit soortgelyk aan sekere vrouens wat op ‘n geheim afkom. Hulle kan net nie stilbly nie en moet ‘n vriendin daarvan vertel. Die laaste strooihalmpie op hierdie kameel se rug het via die soekenjin Google gekom. Ek wou uitvind hoe om sout laf te maak (synde die Bybel sê dat sout kan laf word – maar dit is ‘n heel ander onderwerp). In Google se teks spasie begin ek toe tik “How to ...” Synde die tegnologie al meer en meer namens ons menslike wesens wil dink, verskyn die mees gewilde “how to”-onderwerpe onder die teksspasie. Heel bo-aan die lys is “How to make love”. Ek het regtig gedink dit is nie meer ‘n geheim nie. Vroeër jare was die Hollywoodprente en televisiereekse nog baie subtiel wanneer die onderwerp aangeroer is en slegs die “Franse” prente het meer grafiese besonderhede verskaf. Deesdae is dit amper ‘n alledaagse gesig, veral op die laatnag televisiekanale. Dit is in
tydskrifte, die poniekoerante en dan natuurlik regdeur die wêreld wye web. Sekere mense het duidelik nog die “idiot’s guide” nodig. Die tweede gewildste “how to”-vraag is op ‘n wyse gekoppel aan die eerste een, naamlik “how to fall pregnant.” Is dit werklik vir mense meer belangrik om swangerskap aan te help as bv. ware geluk te vind of selfs ryk te word? Ek vermoed die antwoord is meer kompleks as ‘n eenvoudige “see answer to question 1.” In die derde plek is daar nog ‘n verrassing, naamlik “how to kiss.” Weet vandag se jeug nie hoe om te soen nie? Ek sou dink ons mense moet ‘n natuurlike aanvoeling vir sulke dinge hê. (Dan moet ek toegee – van ons is slegter met die uitvoering daarvan as ander, maar ons weet darem hoe.) Ek hoor onlangs van die studie wat met vinke gedoen is. ‘n Groepie Amerikaanse wetenskaplikes het ‘n broeipaar uit Afrika geneem en al die pad oor die waters geneem. Daar is hulle in hokke aangehou waar hulle nie neste kon weef nie. Die navorsers het ses geslagte van die vinke laat broei en daarna weer in die natuur gelos en gemonitor. Die sesde geslag vinke wat in aanhouding grootgeword het, kon dadelik ‘n nes weef, feitlik identies aan dit
wat hulle voorgeslagte nog in Afrika geweef het. En ons menslike wesens met sogenaamde superieure intelligensie moet Google vra hoe om te soen ... Nommer vier op die lys van versoeke is heel voorspelbaar, naamlik “how to make money fast.” Interessant genoeg is dit nie “how to make money” nie, maar wel hoe om dit baie vinnig te doen. Sal ons ooit wegkom van ons gulsige natuur? Die vyfde versoek is weer baie plat op die aarde, naamlik “how to write a CV”. Ons mense kan nooit tevrede wees met die gras aan ons kant van die heining nie. Nommer ses sluit aan hierby, naamlik die algemene versoek “how to make your man happy.” So asof ons mans nooit gelukkig is nie. Dit is ook interessant om te sien dat die vraag “how to make your woman happy” nie die lys van gewilde vrae haal nie. (Vir die wat nie weet nie, die regte antwoord op vraag ses behoort te wees: “Bring beer, come naked ...”) Die sewende gewildste “how to”-vraag is een wat mens baie hoër sou verwag, naamlik “how to download a youtube video.” Ten minste is hier een vraag wat bietjie sin maak. Die volgende op die lys, nommer agt, is ook voorspelbaar,
word oor miljarde Rande wat wanbestee is of waarvan daar nie rekenskap gegee kan word nie. Dit is dan ook nie snaaks dat die probleme lê by die kern regeringsdepartemente wat strategies-belangrike dienste lewer soos onder andere gesondheid, onderwys en polisiëring nie, want dit suurdeeg deur vanaf munisipale vlak omdat beide bestuur, toesighouer en wer ker korrup is en die omvang van die departemente in personeel, dienste en finansies baie groot is. Dit is hier waar dienste van die privaatsektor bekom moet word, waar amptenare in magsposisies verkeer, waar kennis gemaak word met ongebreidelde onbeskoftheid en bedrog. Daar moet ook geensins sommer net aangeneem word dat alle bestuur, toesighouers en amptenare korrup is nie; nee, by verre die oorgrote meerderheid is bereid om ‘n dag se harde en eerlike werk in te sit, maar hulle is weens intimidasie vanaf die kartelle te bang om ‘n woord te rep oor wat aangaan. Hierdie toedrag van sake is stadig maar seker besig om deur te syfer na die kieser en betogings en opstande teen swak diens en regeringsbeloftes wat nie nagekom word nie, word al hoe meer. Die uiteindelike resultaat gaan totale anargie en burgerlike ongehoorsaamheid wees. As die regering van die dag nie gaan aanvaar dat armoede altyd daar sal wees en dat armoede nie onder beheer gebring sal word deur fi nansiële uitgifte vanaf regeringskant nie, maar alleenlik deur harde werk en opleiding, is die neem-van-dieeen-en-gee-vir-die-ander houding, tesame met die huidige verval van dienste, strukture en stygende kos tes, onvervulde politieke beloftes, ’n tydbom wat binne die afsienbare toekoms gaan ontplof. Alhoewel die ANC-regering dit ontken is die skrif reeds aan die muur. - Carel Breytenbach (Brief verkort - Red)
Die gewone man naamlik “how to lose weight fast.” Soos die rykword versugting is hierdie een ook baie spesifiek. Ons wil nie geleidelik ryk of maer word nie, nee, dit moet vinnig gebeur. Verkieslik wil ons ‘n 20 of 30 kilogram in ‘n week of maksimum twee verloor. Nommer nege is ‘n effens vreemde een, naamlik “how to write a cover letter”. Skryf mense nog dekbriewe? Ek was amper oortuig ons hedendaagse kommunikeerders stuur ‘n SMS of e-pos. Ek kan nie onthou wanneer laas ek ‘n dokument ontvang het met ‘n behoorlike dekbrief nie. Gaan dit dalk hand-aan-hand met die vyfde gewildste vraag? Nommer tien op die lys keer gelukkig terug na die menslike ydelheid, naamlik “how to get a sixpack”. Ek wou opmerk dat hierdie vraag darem weer die mans se vrae reflekteer, maar ek het my gelukkig bedink. Deesdae se vroutjies is nie meer so petite as wat hulle ‘n generasie of wat gelede was nie en spandeer waarskynlik net soveel tyd indien nie meer nie in die gimnasium as hulle manlike eweknieë. Google het weereens bewys dat ons spesie voorwaar vreemd is. Daar is min ruimte vir die Gewone Man.
Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe
Aanskou jou erfenis in Christus - Efesiërs 1:15-23
V
erse 3 tot 14 van Efesiërs is ‘n lofsang van die saligheidsplan van God. Die lofsang eindig met vers14 en van vers 15 verander lof in gebed. Dit is ‘n gebed van geopende oë. “Julle geestesoë verhelder” (vers 18). Dit is deel van ‘n mens wat geestelike waarhede waarneem. Vers 18 sê: “Ek bid dat Hy julle geestesoë so verhelder dat julle kan weet watter hoop Sy roeping inhou en watter rykdom daar is in die heerlike erfenis wat Hy vir die gelowiges bestem het.” Paulus wil drie aspekte van wysheid by die Efesiërs tuisbring. a) Die doel van kennis. Paulus bid dat God aan die Efesiërs wysheid sal gee en Hom so aan hulle sal openbaar: “dat julle Hom werklik kan ken” (vers 17). Die hoofdoel van kennis is om God te ken. Ons het die Gees van wysheid se openbaring nodig om God te ken. Hy wat: “Ons in Christus geseën het met al die seëninge van die Gees wat daar in die hemel is” (vers 3). Die doel van “verhelderde geestesoë” is om God te ken en te dien volgens Sy wil. b) Die hulpmiddel tot die kennis Paulus bid: “Deur Sy Gees aan julle wysheid gee en Hom so aan julle openbaar dat julle Hom werklik kan ken.” Wysheid is kennis wat deur ondervinding verkry word. Openbaring is kennis wat deur direkte gemeenskap met God verkry word. Daarom, “oefen jou in die godsaligheid,” sê Paulus vir Timoteus. Dit beteken: bepeins die Woord van God en bid. c) Die vergenoegsaamheid van kennis. Nou kom ons by die hart van die gebed. “Dat julle kan weet.” (vers 18). Wat moet ons weet? “Watter hoop Sy roeping inhou.” (vers 18). Die “hoop” in vers 18 is geloof wat vorentoe kyk. Die mens is so kosbaar vir God, dat Jesus Sy lewe vir ons afgelê het. Hierdie besef vermeerder ons liefde vir God en vir mekaar, asook ons passie vir verloregaande siele. Wanneer ons staan “in die krag van Sy sterkte” is ons meer as oorwinnaars. Die krag van ons volharding is Jesus Christus. (vers 22) Jesus is ons Hoof. Kom ons dien en eer Hom as hoof. - 079 5168303

Springboktrui is Johann se droom Johann Kok, wat in 2010 by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt gematrikuleer het, is stadig maar seker besig om nader te kom om eendag vir die Springbokke op die veld te draf. Johann studeer tans biogenetika aan die Tshwane Universiteit van Tegnologie en is onlangs gekies vir die universiteit se Vikings-span onder leiding van Gary-Owen Sportbestuur, waar hy as stut uitdraf. Tans neem hy deel aan die FNB Varsity Cup. Johann se droom om egter eendag die Springboktrui oor die kop te trek kan egter van kort duur wees. Alhoewel hy ‘n sportbeurs vir volgende jaar ontvang het, benodig hy hierdie jaar R30 500 om te verseker dat hy sy sportloopbaan kan voortsit. Persone wat graag wil help om sy droom te bewaarheid is dus welkom om ‘n finansiële bydrae te maak. Vir meer inligting en bankbesonderhede, skakel Johann se ma, Elsie, by 084 569 2528 of afrigters Jacques (084 506 6411) of Jan (084 430 6766).
