Upon completion of the dams in an estimated ten years or more from now, the dams are to supply 90% of the water needed by industries within the proposed MMSEZ. Last week the Minister of Water and Sanitation, Senzo Mchunu, however, stated that the dams form part of a long-term solution to augments Musina’s chronic water shortages, which begged the question who will eventually benefit from it?

shortages at Musina would soon be a thing of the past.

Questions about who will eventually benefit from Minister’s water plan (Contd from P1) The “similar” plans include transferring water from Zimbabwe, abstracting water directly from the Limpopo River and the building of the Musina and Sand River Dam. Regarding the building of the two dams, the MMSEZ’s own environmental impact assessment indicates that building these dams will take at least 10 years. But even if they are completed, these two dams are destined to supply 90% of the water needed for the MMSEZ’s minerals complex, which includes various steel industries. This begs the question: For whom is the water then – for big industry, or the people?

As for abstracting water from the Limpopo River, this is sure to upset farmers on both the Zimbabwean and South African side of the border who use the river for irrigation purposes.

No clear indication is given that any agreements regarding this between South Africa and Zimbabwe are in place, although Mchunu did state that Zimbabwe had indicated a willingness to share water with South Africa from their newly constructed Phase II Beitbridge Water Treatment Works, which has excess capacity. “I am, however, concerned about the never-ending discussions that are going on. I therefore appeal to officials involved to finalise the agreement. The feasibility and design stages will take approximately 18 months and the construction should start by end 2024 or early 2025, so that water can be delivered by end 2025,” said Mchunu. He added that the short-term plans must be implemented immediately to meet known demand requirements for Musina and its surrounding areas. The increased supply is expected to be approximately 25 million m3 per year.

Speculation is already rife that the govern-

ment’s response to the “unrest” in Musina seems to be a convenient way to introduce plans that have already been drafted - presented as securing a water supply for the people, not the MMSEZ. “Funny that they don’t mention the MMSEZ. My interpretation is that DWS is now moving on these plans,” remarked one observer.

Mr Johan Fourie, chairman of Save our Limpopo Valley Environment (SOLVE), also questioned the water-solution plans announced

by Minister Mchunu. He is of the opinion that the real reasons for the plans are not being honestly communicated to the public. He said that changes were very good that the bulk of the water from these plans would be for the use of the MMSEZ and related industries and mines.

“This will result in the MMSEZ having water, but not the people. I know from experience that government will always see to it that mines and industry have water, but not the people, even if it is a basic human right. Nobody knows how a plan that will take more than 10 years to realise will solve the current water problems in Musina,” said Fourie. He added that several Zimbabwean farmers had already indicated that they would oppose any attempt by the government to take away their right to irrigate from the Limpopo.

In the meantime, the VDM stated last week that the water supply to the border town was being done on a rotational basis. Extension 9, 10, 14, Campbell, Happer and Matswale will be getting water from 09:00 until 15:00, while Musina Town, Nancefield, Sikombe, Rwanda and Blikkiesdorp will get water from 15:00 until 20:00.

From 20:00 until 03:00, water will be pumped directly into the reservoirs and then again to Musina Town, Nancefield, Sikombe, Rwanda and Blikkiesdorp from 03:00 until 09:00.

“Currently, ten boreholes have been drilled and the processes of installing equipment have also started, while energising will follow as soon as possible. The drilling of new boreholes is meant to replace 12 boreholes that were flooded by the river and also to augment water supply in the area,” says the VDM in the statement. They request Musina residents to be patient while the processes of restoring the water supply in the area are taking place.

Glitch may allow Makhado not to fill top positions

By Andries van Zyl A glitch in a section of the Municipal Structures Act (MSA) may have provided a loophole for the Makhado Municipality not to fill senior positions permanently since June 2018. The section of the legislation that states that such positions must be filled within a period of three months was referred back to parliament, where it has been lying since 2017.

Last week, the Zoutpansberger reported on the municipality’s inability or unwillingness to fill senior posts. The posts of municipal manager and five directors have been vacant for years, with officials, often without the knowledge and experience, acting in these posts.

Opposition parties and pressure groups are of the opinion that these positions will not be filled until such time as the internal struggles within the ANC have been sorted out, and until then, the region and its people are “held to ransom” while the party-political games continue. The feeling is also that the vacancies in these important posts have severely affected service delivery and may be an underlying cause for protest action, such as recently happened in Musina.

The Municipal Structures Act, Act 32 of 2000 as amended in 2011, among other things, states that no municipal manager (MM) or senior di-

rector may act in an acting capacity for a period of longer than three months, unless permission is granted for a further three-month extension by the MEC for Cooperative Government, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs. This is in accordance with Section 54 subsection 2(b) and Section 56 subsection 1 of the Act. Sadly, the sections of the Act regulating the acting periods of senior administrative personnel in a municipality appear to have become null and void, following a Constitutional Court judgement on 9 March 2017 in the case of the South African Municipal Workers’ Union [SAMWU] vs the Minister of Cooperative Government, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs and Others.

The aim of the 2011 Amendment Act was to regulate the responsibilities of MMs and managers directly accountable to the MM. Apart from guidelines regarding acting periods, the Amendment Act also prohibited senior administrative staff from holding any positions in any political party.

After the Amendment Act was enacted in July 2011, SAMWU instituted proceedings in the High Court to challenge the constitutionality of the Amendment Act. Firstly, it contended that the Amendment Act was incorrectly tagged as an ordinary bill not affecting the provinces (Section 75 bill), rather than an ordinary bill affecting the

Oom Poen sterf op ouderdom van 81 sewe weke nadat hy beroerte kry Deur Andries van Zyl Familie en vriende het Maandagmiddag, 30 Mei, met hartseer verneem van die dood van die 81-jarige oom Koos de Bruin van Louis Trichardt, oftewel oom Poen, soos meeste mense hom aan sy rugbybynaam geken het.

Oom Poen se eggenote, tannie Kittie, en dogter Catò het Dinsdag gesê dat oom Poen op Sondag, 10 April, ‘n beroerte gehad het.

Die beroerte het almal onverwags betrap. “Hy het nog ‘n heerlike rolbal-parekompetisie die Saterdag gehad. Met ‘n punt het hy en Marietjie Barkhuizen dit gemis om in die finaal te speel.

Dit was vir hom ‘n verskriklike hoogtepunt, want die rolbal was maar sy lewe toe hy oud begin word het,” onthou Kittie.

Oom Poen is ná sy beroerte opgeneem in die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal en vandaar oorgeplaas na die Medikliniek in Polokwane.

Ná sowat ‘n week is hy weer terug verplaas na die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal, waar hy nog ‘n week gelê het. Hy is toe opgeneem in die siekeboeg by Ons Tuiste Ouetehuis, waar tannie Kittie al etlike dekades optree as bestuurder.

Op 21 April is oom Poen weer in die privaat­ hospitaal in Louis Trichardt opgeneem weens bloeding. “Sy toestand het egter bly verswak,” sê Catò. As familie is hulle dankbaar dat hulle by oom Poen kon wees tot en met sy dood. “Hy het swaar gepraat, maar tot en met Maandag was hy nog ten volle bewus van wat om hom aangaan,” sê Catò.

Oom Poen was jare lank werksaam by die munisipale werkswinkel op Louis Trichardt.

In 1995, op 55-jarige ouderdom, het oom Poen vroeë pensioen gevat ná 30 jaar se diens by die stadsraad. Daarna was hy vir sowat 14 jaar werk-

saam by Bolt & Nut op die dorp.

“Iets wat hy altyd baie trots was om te vertel, is dat sy pa [wyle oom Ben de Bruin] deel was van die span wat die Hendrik Verwoerd Tonnels gebou het en hy het sy pa gehelp met sweiswerk … Oupa Ben se plaas was daar by die tonnels en dit is waar hy groot geword het. Self nou, as ons vir die kinders gaan kuier het en ons ry deur die tonnels, sou hy vir my sê: ‘Onthou jy? Ek het my pa met die tonnels gehelp’,” onthou Catò.

Oom Poen was ‘n baie stil mens gewees. “Hy was nie ‘n lawaaierige soort nie,” sê tannie Kittie.

Sy en oom Poen was 38 jaar getroud gewees.

Oom Poen mag dalk stil gewees het, maar hy het beslis sy sport geniet. “Hy was ‘n kranige rolbalspeler. In sy jonger dae het hy baie goeie rugby gespeel, en ook tennis. Hy was eintlik ‘n goeie ‘all-rounder’. Hy was ook baie lief vir sy kleinkinders en agterkleinkinders,” sê Catò. ‘n Troosdiens vir wyle oom Poen word Saterdag, 4 Junie, om 11:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt-gemeente gehou. Hy word oorleef deur sy vrou Kittie, seun Kobus, dogters Catò en Hannie (en skoonseun Fanie Mynhardt), kleinkinders Lenise (en haar man Muller Taylor) en Jaco de Bruin, agterkleinkinders Johanko, Lehan, SJ en Marne en broer Steven de Bruin en susters Joan Vorster, Lia Holtzhausen en Louisa Kruger.

Die familie het hulle dank uitgespreek teenoor die personeel van die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal, dr. Anton Stroebel vir sy deernis en die bestuur en personeel van Ons Tuiste.

opportunity to remedy the defect. Sadly, the situation was not remedied, and the invalidity of the Amendment Act came into effect on 9 March 2019.

So what does this mean? It means that the declaration of invalidity of the entire Amendment Act entails that all matters regulated by the Amendment Act, as well as any regulations or policies that had been made pursuant to the Amendment Act, became unenforceable. The provisions of Section 54 subsection 2(b) and Section 56 subsection 1 of the Act can therefore not be enforced. What is, however, important to note is that all other provisions of the Principal Act (Act 32 of 2000), including any amendments and regulations or policies made or issued prior to the 2011 amendment, remain operative and are still enforceable.

The Department of Cooperative Government, Human Settlement and Traditional Affairs (CoGSTHA) responded to the Zoutpansberger’s questions this week, saying that they were aware of the situation at the Makhado Municipality.

CoGSTHA stated that although the municipality had applied for an extension of the periods for the persons acting in the vacant positions, such approval was no longer needed because of the invalidity of the Amendment Act. So, at present, no legislation exists that forces the municipality to fill vacant position with permanent appointments. CoGSTHA did, however, indicate that the Makhado Municipality had embarked on a recruitment process.

Regarding the recruitment process, Makhado Municipality’s spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, stated last week that although the council had advertised the vacant positions of the different directors more than once, no suitably qualified candidates could be identified, or that interest in the positions was very low. He did, however, indicate that they were busy conducting interviews, and the three top candidates in each vacant position would be requested to go and write a competency test. “We can expect that in July/ August there would be a municipal manager and his/her directors, provided they satisfy Section 56 and 57 of [the] MSA,” said Bobodi.

provinces (Section 76 bill) – a procedural challenge. SAMWU also submitted that Section 56A, when read together with the definition of “political office” in Section 1, is inconsistent with the Constitution as it amounts to an unjustifiable limitation of a number of rights, including the right to make free political choices as enshrined in section 19(1) of the Constitution (substantive challenge).

Regarding the procedural challenge, the High Court declared that the Amendment Act is unconstitutional and invalid as it failed to comply with the procedures set out in section 76 of the Constitution. The High Court found it unnecessary to decide the substantive challenge.

SAMWU then asked the Constitutional Court for a confirmation of the High Court’s declaration of invalidity with respect to the procedural challenge, and direct access to appeal the High Court’s failure to make a determination on the substantive challenge. The Minister (CoGSTHA) did not oppose the confirmation of the declaration of invalidity, but argued that the substantive issue should not be determined if the confirmation application succeeded. The Speaker of the National Assembly and Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces jointly sought to limit the retrospective effect of the confirmation of the declaration.

The ConCourt majority judgment held that the Amendment Act provided for legislation aimed at promoting the values governing the public administration set out in section 195(1) of the Constitution and, as a result, ought to have been enacted following the section 76 process.

The Amendment Act was accordingly found to be unconstitutional for want of compliance with section 76 of the Constitution. Having found the Amendment Act to be unconstitutional in its entirety, the majority declined to consider the substantive challenge, as the success of the procedural challenge was dispositive of the entire matter.

The majority also held that, in order to avoid disruption, the declaration of invalidity should operate prospectively, and should be suspended for 24 months to allow the Legislature an

Zoutpansberger Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het inwo­ ners van Louis Trichardt en omstreke ‘n voorsmakie gekry van wat vir hulle wag ten opsigte van “politieke” aanstellings in die Groter Louis Trichardt Oorgangs­ raad, vandag bekend as die Makhado Munisipaliteit.

Die hele voorblad van 30 Mei 1997 is afgestaan aan die besluit van die ANC-beheerde Oorgangsraad om ‘n ongekwalifiseerde en onervare stadstesourier aan te stel bloot omdat hy swart was. Hierdie besluit het skokgolwe deur die gemeenskap gestuur.

Die pos van stadstesourier het in 1996 vakant geraak nadat mnr. Vic Viljoen, die vorige stadstesourier, as stadsklerk aangestel is. Sedertdien is die pos verskeie kere geadverteer, maar konsensus kon nie bereik word oor die kortlys van kandidate nie.

Veral die ANC se aandrang daarop dat dit ‘n regstellende-aksie pos moes wees, het tot onenigheid gelei.

Toe die kwessie voor die raad gedien het, moes die raad ‘n keuse maak tussen drie kandidate, naamlik die toe waarnemende stadstesourier, mnr. Dopper Kruger, ‘n kandidaat van Polokwane en die ANC se destydse voorsitter van die ANC se Zoutpansberg-substreek, mnr.

Dan Masengani.

Dat die keuse eintlik net tussen Kruger en Masengani was, het egter gou duidelik geword. Op ‘n versoek dat die punte bekend gemaak moes word wat die kandidate behaal het vir ‘n geskrewe toets om vir die pos te kwalifiseer, het Kruger 95/120 behaal.

Masengani het die swakste van die drie kandidate gevaar met 44/120.

Tog was dit die Raad se aanbeveling

dat Masengani aangestel word. Op ‘n vraag van rdl. Schallie van Schalkwyk oor watter kriteria die raad gebruik het om die aanstelling te maak, het die ANC se rdl. Martha Lehaiwa gesê dat hulle na regstellende-aksie gekyk het en nie na ondervinding nie.

Weinig het klaarblyklik sedertdien verander, met senior administratiewe poste wat steeds nie gevul kan word met gekwalifiseerde persone nie, soos wat in verlede week se Zoutpansberger gerapporteer is. Van die senior poste by die Makhado Munisipaliteit is al vir vyf jaar vakant omdat die “regte” kandidate nie gevind of aangestel kan word nie. Waar ras 25 jaar gelede die grootste faktor was, is faksie-gevegte binne die ANC-strukture op plaaslike vlak blykbaar nou die rede.

deur die loongedagte; altyd word gevra watter voordeel hulle uit die godsdiens kan haal? Soms is dit die lof van mense waarna gestreef word wat as begeerlike loon moet dien. ‘n Tweede kenmerk van die knegtelike gesindheid is dat die slaaf hom nie ten volle aan sy heer kan wy nie. By die kind is dit anders. Daar kom nooit ‘n botsing tussen hom en die belange van sy vader nie. Hy is immers in staat om hom volkome te wy aan die sake van sy vader.

Dit is juis ons moeilikheid dat ons aandag, tyd en kragte so verdeeld is tussen God en die wêreld. Ons is innerlik verskeurd.

Wanneer hierdie botsing in ons hart opgelos word, kom daar doelgerigtheid en vrugbaar­ heid.

Die knegtelike gesindheid is ‘n lewe van inspanning en onrus, want hy moet gedurig oppas dat hy in sy spoor trap en bevrediging gee. Hoe anders is dit nie met die kind nie.

Hy is erfgenaam van alles, van die liefde, blydskap en vrede van die Vader. Geen opgeskroefde inspanning nie, maar ‘n rus en tevredenheid in sy hart. En hierdie lewe van volheid en geluk is die wettige erfenis van elke gelowige, van hom wat die Vader as kind wil dien.

- Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 3 JUNIE 2022

Marisa aangestel as regter van Lim Hooggeregshof Naudé, dankie sê: “My pa het my geleer vasbyt.

Hy het altyd vir my gesê: ‘Omskep elke verleent­ heid in ‘n geleentheid’ en as ek die dag kom met President Cyril Ramaphosa het onlangs met sy handtekening bevestig dat advokaat Marisa klaagliedere, het hy vir my gesê: ‘Moet nie kom met probleme nie, kom met oplossings’. My pa Naudé-Odendaal as regter van die Hooggeregshof in Limpopo aangestel is – met effek was my mentor en rolmodel. My ma, op haar beurt, het my geleer om nooit moed op te gee nie vanaf 1 Junie 2022. en altyd te streef na ‘n ver wenpaal. Sy het altyd Gedurende April vanjaar het die Zoutpansgesê as ‘n droom jou nie bang én opgewonde berger berig dat Naudé-Odendaal genomineer maak nie, dan droom jy nie groot genoeg nie.” en aanbeveel is vir een van twee posisies by die Naudé-Odendaal sê sonder skroom dat alles Hooggeregshof. in Louis Trichardt begin het waar sy grootge“Mense sê gereeld vir my: ‘Sjoe, jy is ‘n sterk word het. “Elke persoon in die gemeenskap vrou.’ Ek is nie ‘n sterk mens nie, ek dien net ‘n baie sterk en Almagtige Vader.

Sy wil ook graag vir haar ouers , André en Martie Molokomme in die Louis Trichardt Landdroshof het by my passie vir litigasie laat ontkiem en ook help ontwikkel. Ek weet waarheen ek op pad is, maar sal nooit vergeet waar ek vandaan kom nie. Daar aan die voet van die Soutpansberg het my wortels geskiet, en in Limpopo het my takke begin groei.”

Marisa het haar LLB en AIPSA Diploma in Insolvensiereg en Praktyk by die Universiteit van Pretoria verwerf. Sy het haar klerkskap by onder meer Coxwell, Steyn, Vise en Naudé in Louis Trichardt gedoen. Aanvanklik wou Marisa net praktiseer as aktevervaardiger en boedeladmi­ nistrateur. Nadat sy egter in die landdroskantoor op Louis Trichardt verskyn het, was sy baie ingenome met litigasie en haar praktyk het al hoe meer in hierdie rigting begin beweeg. Gedurende 2009 het sy aansoek gedoen by die Pretoria Vereniging van Advokate om haar pupilskap te doen, wat in 2010 plaasgevind het. As praktise­ rende advokaat het sy nooit in enige spesifieke rigting gespesialiseer nie en is blootgestel aan ‘n wye verskeidenheid van sake. In haar dokumente wat aan die Regterlike Dienskommissie voorgelê moes word, noem Marisa dat dit nog altyd haar droom was om ‘n regter te word en het haarself dus beskikbaar gestel om as landdros waar te neem ter wille van die ondervinding.

Pietman Muller van Levubu het Sondagmiddag, 8 Mei, op die E-pad (Levubu) gery toe hy afgekom het op ‘n bruin slangarend wat besig was om ‘n

Fotograaf Pietman Muller van Levubu se wenfoto vir Meimaand is van ‘n Bruinslangarend wat met ‘n Wipneuskobra baklei. Hy het die foto geneem met sy Nikon D4 kamera en 500 mm F4 Nikon lens. Sy lensopening was F5.6 met ‘n sluiterspoed van 1/1600 van ‘n sekonde en ‘n filmspoed van 125 ISO.

wipneuskobra die stryd aan te sê.

Gelukkig vir hom het hy sy Nikon D4 kamera byderhand gehad om die aksie af te neem. Dit was juis een van hierdie aksiefoto’s wat aan hom Mei se eerste plek prysgeld van R600 besorg het. Baie geluk Pietman!

Anders as in die verlede kan die streek se fotograwe vanjaar regdeur die jaar maandeliks vir die koerant se kalenderfotokompetisie inskryf.

Fotograwe sal tot en met die laaste week van elke maand hulle foto’s vir daardie maand kan inskryf en ‘n wenfoto sal vir elk van die 12 maande gekies word. ‘n Maksimum van vyf foto’s per fotograaf per maand kan ingestuur word, maar fotograwe kan vir meer as een maand inskryf. NB – Indien jou foto foto dalk een maand nie gewen het nie, maar jy voel dit is goe dgenoeg om weer in te skryf, kan dieselfde foto weer vir ‘n volgende maand ingestuur word. Die foto moet egter binne die afgelope 24 maande geneem gewees het en moet die fotograaf se eie werk wees. ‘n Prys van R600 sal vir elke maand se wenfoto betaal word.

Elke maand se wenfoto sal in die

eerste week van die daaropvolgende maand se Zoutpansberger gepubli­ seer word. Slegs hoë-resolusie digitale foto’s (verkieslik landskap-formaat) sal aanvaar word. Die foto’s kan in hoë resolusie per e-pos (een vir een, indien nodig) gestuur word, of op CD of geheuestokkie ingehandig word by die kantore van die Zoutpansberger te Joubertstraat 16B in Louis Trichardt. Elke inskrywing moet vergesel wees van die fotograaf se naam, kontakbesonderhede, waar die foto geneem is en met watter kamera dit geneem is. Selfoonfoto’s is ook toelaatbaar indien die foon oor ‘n goeie kamera beskik.

Die 12 wenfoto’s sal aan die einde van die jaar in ‘n groot-formaat muurkalender vir 2023 saamgevat word. Die kalender sal dan onder meer deur die Zoutpansberger gebruik word vir bemarkingsdoeleindes.

Vir meer inligting oor die kompetisie, skakel Andries by tel. 082 603 2419 of 015 516 4997 (tydens kantoorure).

they do so in a responsible manner,” said Meissenheimer.

Section 134 of the Children’s Act states that no person may refuse to sell condoms to a child over the age of 12 years, or refuse to provide a child with condoms on request where condoms are distributed free of charge. “In addition, contraceptives other than condoms may be provided without the consent of a parent of care-giver if: the child is at least 12 years of age, proper medical advice is given to the child and a medical examination is carried out to determine if there are any medical reasons why a specific contraceptive should not be provided to the child,” said Meissenheimer.

Looking at the responsibilities and rights of parents as discussed in Section 18 to 21 of the Children’s Act, no distinction is made between the responsibilities and rights of teenage parents versus older parents. “The notable exception is that, in terms of Section 19, the guardian of a minor mother’s baby is also the guardian of the baby. This means that there are certain decisions that minor parents of a baby cannot make alone, although they retain the right to care for the child unless proven incompetent by court,” said Meissenheimer.

A biological father of a baby born to a minor mother must apply for responsibilities and rights in terms of Section 21 of the Children’s Act. “If he is not in a position to honour certain responsibilities, such as paying maintenance, it can be expected of the paternal grandparents to pay the maintenance,” said Meissenheimer.

According to Meissenheimer, it is important to note that a biological father’s responsibilities and rights only start once the baby is born. In terms of South African law, a child only obtains rights once born alive. This implies that a teenage biological father cannot demand to be present at medical exams during pregnancy, or even the birth of a child.

“A baby born to teenage parents cannot be given up for adoption without the consent of the biological parents. Where the biological parents are in agreement with adoption, and still under the age of 18 years, the parents or guardians of the biological parents must also give consent to the adoption in court,” said Meissenheimer.

Abortion is such a sensitive topic, and many people feel strongly for or against it. According to Section 5 of the Choice of Termination of Pregnancy Act, a minor – which means any person under the age of 18 years – may request an abortion. “The section states that the medical professional should strongly advise the minor to consult with her family, but that the abortion may not be denied if a minor chooses not to consult with her family,” said Meissenheimer.

This correlates with Section 129 of the Children’s Act, which states a child may consent to her own medical treatment, should she be over the age of 12 years.

“Basically, the fact is that a pregnant teenager can neither be forced nor denied an abortion – it remains her own choice. This also means that the biological father also does not have a say for, or against, the abortion,” said Meissenheimer.

“Personal feelings on abortion aside, the reality

is, however, that it is legal, and it does happen.

That being said, abortion should not be seen as an easy way out to make a pregnancy problem disappear!” added Meissenheimer.

So, what can be done to prevent teenage pregnancies?

“One of the most important factors is to encourage abstinence as this protects teenagers against pregnancy as well as STDs. Some people might think this is old fashioned, but it does not matter what the opinions of others are – it is about what you think!” said Meissenheimer.

The second option, said Meissenheimer, is to delay sex. “Many people feel that they don’t want to wait until marriage before having sex. At the same time, they don’t want to rush into it and make costly mistakes. So, they decide to delay having sex until they are older, more responsible, in a stable relationship with one partner, have a job, or have become independent of their parents,” said Meissenheimer.

“While you might not agree on a moral or religious level, teenagers should be aware of the different options for contraception. The reality is that teenagers are sexually active. Even if you wish to practice abstinence or delay having sexual intercourse, learning as much as you can about contraception is important – knowledge is power,” continued Meissenheimer.

Different contraceptives are available, which include oral contraception, the implant, the injection, male and female condoms and dual protection of using two methods, for example the implant to protect against pregnancy as well as condoms that protect against pregnancy and STDs. Emergency contraception also exists, which should be used within five days of unprotected sex.

Meissenheimer invited the public to phone her office if they need more information on teenage pregnancy. Her number is 015 516 3841 or 071 628 7949.

Dit help om die klub uit te bou en deure oop te hou vir gebruik deur die gemeenskap. Ek wil ook Kobus Barkhuizen bedank vir die verskaffing van die braaipakkies, asook Ansu van Staden (Usna bouers) vir die skenking van tamaties. Dankie ook aan die klublede vir hul harde werk om die toernooi ‘n sukses te maak,” het Carel gesê. Hy het ook weer inwoners uitgenooi om Saterdagmiddae ‘n draai te maak by die klub en te kom saamspeel.
