Twee moet uit water gered word nadat rit in promosie-boot lelik skeefloop op Nandonidam
Twee byna dood Deur Andries van Zyl ‘n Toetsrit in ‘n nuwe boot het Sondagmiddag byna ‘n noodlottige einde gehad vir twee inwoners van Levubu. Boothengelaars van regoor die streek het die afgelope naweek na die Nandonidam opgeruk vir deelname aan die Tribal Boats Bass Classic-toernooi ten bate van die NG Kerk Levubu-gemeente. Onder hulle was die 38-jarige Karel Pretorius en 28-jarige Willie Knoetze. Na afloop van die kompetisie het Tribal Boats, wat ‘n
18½-voet Bass Extreme bootromp op ‘n enkelas-sleepwa geborg het as hoofprys, boothengelaars uitgenooi om een van hul promosie-bote uit te toets. Willie en Karel het ook van die geleentheid gebruik gemaak. Skaars het hulle weggetrek of daar was ‘n harde slag. Willie se pa, ook Willie, het Maandag vertel wat gebeur het. “Ons was besig om vir hulle vanaf die oewer te kyk. Hulle was nog besig om die boot uit te trim en op spoed te kom. Ek het vir ‘n oomblik weggekyk en hoor toe net
‘n slag,” het pa Willie gesê. Toe Willie terugkyk, sien hy beide sy seun en Karel in die water en die boot in stukke. ‘n Ander boot het dadelik vir Willie en Karel, wat beide hul lewensgordels aangehad het, te hulp gesnel. Die twee is met ernstige beserings na die oewer gebring en ‘n EMShelikopter is ontbied. “Met die helikopter se aankoms is vir ons gesê dat hulle slegs een persoon kon inlaai. (Vervolg op p. 3)

Gelukkig het die boot nie gesink nie en kon dit na die oewer gesleep word.

2 3 May 2013 Mnr. Sakkie Mut shinyal i, munisipale bestuurd er van die Makhado Munisip a liteit, besig om vrae van die munisipale komitee vir openbare rekeninge te beantwoord op 10 April.
Een van die onreëlmatighede is JoJo-watertenks wat die munisipaliteit aangeskaf het. In 2002 het die munisipaliteit twee 10 000l tenks aangeskaf vir onderskeidelik R2 300 en R581.23. Nog ‘n 5 000l tenk is in dieselfde jaar vir R100 gekoop. Drie jaar later het die munisipaliteit nog ‘n 10 000l tenk gekoop vir ‘n winskoop teen R150. Deur Isabel Venter

Congratulations to mr Dawie Roux for winning the prize of R3000.00 in the lucky draw competition from Raymond’s Glass. After fitting a windscreen with Raymond’s Glass, mr Roux was automatically entered in the competition. The draw was conducted by Mr Godfrey Went from LTT Bolt and Nut.
Die Makhado Munisipaliteit se finansiële praktyke is deurspek van “bestuursblapse”. Die skokkende toedrag van sake by die munisipaliteit het aan die lig gekom tydens ‘n vergadering van die munisipale komitee vir openbare rekeninge ten opsigte van die ouditeur-generaal (OG) se verslag vir die munisipaliteit se 2011/12 finansiële jaar. Die komitee het op 10 April by die munisipali teit vergader en die OG en die munisipaliteit se munisipale bestuurder, mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali, gepeper met vrae oor die munisipaliteit se geldsake. Veral blatante onreëlmatighede wat betref sekere aankope van die munisipaliteit is uitgelig tydens die vergadering. In die 2011/12 finansiële jaar het die munisipaliteit glo R33 169 661 spandeer aan dag-tot-dag uitgawes, soos salarisse, weens “ernstige finansiële uitdagings.” Dié bedrag is glo begroot om as toelae te gebruik vir ontwikkelingsprojekte. Volgens Mutshinyali het die munisipaliteit ook van hierdie geld gebruik om munisipale diensverskaffers soos Eskom te betaal. ‘n Verdere misdryf, wat die komiteelede dwars in die krop gesteek het, was vorige finansiële jare se foute wat nooit reggemaak is deur die munisipaliteit se boekhou-afdeling nie. Een so ‘n onreëlmatigheid was JoJo watertenks wat die munisipaliteit aangeskaf het. In 2002 het die munisipaliteit twee 10 000l tenks aangeskaf vir onderskeidelik R2 300 en R581.23. Nog ‘n 5 000l tenk is in dieselfde jaar vir R100 gekoop. Drie jaar later het die munisipaliteit nog ‘n 10 000l tenk gekoop vir ‘n winskoop teen R150. Die munisipaliteit het tydens die vergadering vinger gewys na die Vhembe Distriksmunisipalit-
eit en plaaslike verbruikers wat nie hulle munisipale rekening vereffen nie. Dit, het Mutshiyali herhaaldelik gesê, is maar net een van die vele “uitdagings” waarmee die munisipaliteit worstel. Talle van die foute wat uitgewys is aan die munisipaliteit is, volgens Mutshinyali, foutjies wat die bestuur gemaak het. Hy het die komitee egter die versekering gegee dat die finansiële klerke gestuur is vir opleiding om te verseker dat hulle weet hoe om al die verande rings in die boekhoustelsel van die munisipaliteit behoorlik toe te pas.

Geldsake rede tot kommer Die Makhado Munisipaliteit se geldsake is steeds wankelrig en kommerwekkend. Die munisipaliteit se finansiële state vir die boekjaar wat op 30 Junie 2012 geëindig het, was van so ‘n aard dat die ouditeur-generaal (OG) weereens sy ouditmening weerhou het. Die Zoutpansberger het by ‘n plaaslike kenner gaan kers opsteek oor die bevindinge van die OG. “Dit beteken dat onsekerhede waarvoor die OG nie voldoende ouditbewyse kon vind nie, so wesenlik is dat dit nie vir die OG moontlik is om ‘n mening oor die finansiële state te vorm nie. Dus spreek die OG geen mening oor die finansiële state uit nie,” sê me. Dodrie Corbett (GRSA), van die rekenmeestersfirma Nel, Havinga en Corbett. Corbett sê ook dat daar geen beduidende verbeterings in 2012 op die 2010/2011-ouditverslag is nie. Die OG het ook sy mening weerhou in die verslag oor die boekjaar eindigende 30 Junie 2011. “In die basis vir ‘n weerhouding van mening sê die OG, net soos in 2011, dat voldoende ouditbewyse nie gevind kon word om hulself te vergewis van die korrekte voorstelling van die syfers vir die balanse van eiendom, aanleg en toerusting, bank en kontant, asook debiteure en krediteure nie. Die balanse kon dus meer of minder op die jaareinde gewees het,” sê Corbett en wys op ‘n paar punte in die OG se mees onlangse verslag: * Wat kapitale aanspreeklikhede betref, is daar nie ‘n kontrakbeheersisteem in plek vir die identifisering en erkenning van kontrakte nie. Daar kon nie voldoende ouditbewyse gevind word om te verseker dat kontraktuele verpligting van meer as R47 miljoen deur die munisipaliteit te boek gestel is nie. (In 2011 was dié bedrag meer as R24.5 miljoen). *Die munisipaliteit het R124.2 miljoen meer aan uitgawes gespandeer as wat goedgekeur is volgens die begroting in terme van Artikel 15 van die MFA (Municipal Finance Act). Die ongemagtigde uitgawes is nie behoorlik in die finansiële state geopenbaar nie. Die nota in die finansiële state verwys slegs na R57.8 miljoen se
ongemagtigde uitgawes. ‘n Verdere R33.1 miljoen se ongemagtigde uitgawes is aangegaan deurdat voorwaardelike toelaes aangewend is vir uitgawes anders as waarvoor die toelaes geoormerk was. *Verskeie maatreëls wat geneem is om prestasie te verbeter, is nie behoorlik geopenbaar soos wat deur Artikel 46 van die Local Government Municpal Systems Act, 2000 vereis word nie. Dit word toegeskryf aan die feit dat alhoewel die bestuur bewus was van hierdie vereistes, hulle nog nie die nodige opleiding ontvang het om hieraan te voldoen nie. *Ten opsigte van die begroting het die OG bevind dat die rekenkundige beampte nie die finansiële prestasie van die eerste helfte van die finansiële jaar geassesseer het soos wat deur Artikel (72) (1) (a) (ii) van die MFMA vereis word nie. *Goedere en dienste ter waarde van R200 000 is verkry sonder dat die nodige kwotasies, soos wat vereis word deur SCM (Supply Chain Management) regulasie 17(a) en (c), verkry is. *Kontrakte is toegeken aan persone in diens van ander staatsinstansies of aan direkteure of aandeelhouers van maatskappye in diens van staatsinstellings. Dit is ‘n oortreding van SCM regulasie 44. Soortgelyke toekennings is ook in 2011 gemaak. *Die OG sê dat die rekenkundige beampte nie alle redelike stappe geneem het om te keer dat ongemagtigde uitgawes aangegaan word nie en dat daar nie ‘n effektiewe interne beheerstelsel in plek was vir die bates van die munisipaliteit, insluitende ‘n bateregister, nie. Dit word vereis deur Artikel 63 (2)(c) van die MFMA. *Dit is die verantwoordelikheid van die bestuur om toereikende en doeltreffende beheermaatreëls in plek te stel om foute te voorkom. Die rekenkundige beampte en die ouditkomitee oefen nie voldoende beheer uit om oplossings te implementeer nie. Dit het tot gevolg dat ddaar basies dieselfde tekortkominge in die ouditverslag ten opsigte van interne beheer, leierskap en bestuur uitgelig word as in die vorige jaar.

Toetsrit eindig byna noodlottig vir twee (Vervolg van p. 1) Willie het gesê hulle moet eerder vir Karel inlaai aangesien sy beserings baie ernstiger voorgekom het,” het Pa Willie gesê. Karel is na Tzaneen afgevlieg vir mediese behandeling, terwyl Thohoyandou se ambulansdiens ontbied is vir Willie. “Baie mense is vinnig om te kritiseer, maar ek wil regtig noem dat ons fantastiese diens van die ambulansmense ontvang het, vanaf die dam waar hulle hom opgelaai het, tot by die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal,” sê Pa Willie. Willie is met ‘n ernstige beenfraktuur en snywonde vanaf die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) oorgeplaas na die MediKliniek in Polokwane. Hy het Maandagmiddag ‘n operasie aan sy linkerbeen ondergaan om ‘n erge beenbreuk met penne te herstel. Karel, wat onder meer harsingskudding opgedoen het en sy neus en drie ribbes gebreek het, is Maandag oggend reeds ontslaan. Pa Willie is dankbaar dat sy seun en Karel leef. Hy het geen kwade gevoelens teenoor enige ie

mand oor die ongeluk nie en sê dat dit jammer is dat daar soveel stories rondgaan oor wat presies gebeur het. “Volgens my was dit niks anders as ‘n frats ongeluk nie,” sê Pa Willie. Hy voeg by dat dit andersins ‘n baie suksesvolle naweek en fonds insameling vir die gemeente was. Hy het ook hoë lof en dankbaarheid gehad vir Tribal Boats as hul hoofborg. Bruce Engelbrecht van Tribal Boats het Dinsdag gesê dat hulle reeds besig is om die oorsaak van die ongeluk te ondersoek en dat hulle in die proses is om die boot terug te kry by hul fabriek. Hy sê aangesien hy nie self daar was nie, is dit moeilik om te sê wat gebeur het. Bruce sê egter dat hy verstaan die boot het klaarblyklik ‘n golf getref, in die lug in gevlieg en neus eerste die water getref. “Ek is net bly niemand is dood nie. Ek wil graag almal bedank wat so vinnig op die toneel was om te help en my meegevoel gaan uit na die beseerdes se families,” het Bruce gesê.

Municipality has plan to deal with findings Following the disclaimer of opinion by the auditor general (AG) on the Makhado Municipality’s financial affairs, the municipality said that it would take time for them “to move out of disclaimer, but an audit plan has been developed to deal with all matters raised by the AG.” The Makhado Municipality had a disclaimer of opinion in 2010/11 and 2009/10, with an adverse opinion in 2007/8 and a disclaimer in 2006/7. The report status is supplied by the AG and ranges from unqualified (best), to unqualified with other matters specified, qualified, adverse and disclaimed (worst). The municipality was asked to highlight three or four of the most imperative factors that contributed towards the disclaimer and the actions to remedy

those. “Unbundling of state assets,” was the most pressing factor and the only one mentioned in the short answer received from the municipal spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi. The local ratepayers association, on the other hand, had much to say about the disclaimer by the AG for the financial year ended 30 June 2012. “The opinion that the AG has expressed has once again been the worst opinion that the AG can express. It means that there are so many material issues, missing information, non-compliance with accounting standards, poor or non-existent internal controls, a malfunctioning audit committee and poor internal functions, that the AG cannot express any opinion whatsoever,” said Ms Inga Gilfillan, chairperson of the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA). The SRPA regards the state of the financial affairs of the municipality as very serious and “it requires that very serious actions must be taken as a matter of urgency to prevent the situation from deteriorating further or to continue.” According to the AG’s report, assets (property, plant and equipment) to the value of R1.6 billion could not be verified for existence, completeness or valuation. The municipality’s CFO, Ms Mikateko Makhubela, stated in a report that a new functional asset register has been compiled. Valuation and depreciation of assets are to be re-assessed as per GRAP 17 standards and there should be continuous improvement on asset register maintenance. The SRPA said that failure of an effective system of internal control for assets was serious financial misconduct that could imply a criminal offence. The AG report indicated in note 17 that the municipality had disclosed unauthorised expenditure to the amount of R57 872 128 but failed to disclose a further amount of R124 208 021. “This means that the operational budget as approved by council was overspent by more than R180m. It is a contravention of Section 15 of the MFMA,” said Gilfillan. In note 25, the AG reported that the municipality had incurred R33 169 661 of unauthorised expenditure by utilising conditional grants for other purposes than what they had been granted for. “This is very serious financial misconduct as well as a contravention of the Division of Revenue Act. In terms of Section 3, Part 2: Criminal Offences, this constitutes a criminal offence,” Gilfillan said. The SRPA said they could go on and on and cite many significant findings in the AG report. “There is a total lack of financial management and numerous contraventions of the MFMA and its regulations, as well as the Municipal Systems Act. Serious intervention is urgently required,” Gilfillan said. The SRPA indicated that they were busy with a request to the national treasury to deploy wellexperienced people to the municipality to assist in saving the municipality from total financial disaster and to establish proper internal controls and train the staff in accounting standards.
The judgment of the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) on Friday, 26 April, on the withholding of fees for services not rendered in the case between Rademan and the Moqhaka Local Municipality (MLM) has elicited a lot of attention, especially in local circles, where some residents have also been withholding fees. The members of the local ratepayers association, the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA), have been withholding certain funds from the Makhado Municipality (MM) for a number of years now, based on the fact that these members are not satisfied with the services provided by the MM. To that effect, the SRPA declared a dispute with the MM a number of years ago and only the fees for electricity supply are being paid to the MM, with the rest being held in a trust account. What the judgment boils down to is that the municipality has the right to consolidate a user’s account, even though certain services and the client’s consumption thereof are specified on that account. If a consumer therefore has a dispute with the municipality regarding services which, in the consumer’s view, have not been rendered (properly), that consumer cannot refuse to pay the whole account or request that a partial payment of the account be allocated only to the electricity portion of that account. Consolidation of the account is the prerogative of the municipality (including the MM) and as such a consumer is responsible for payment of the whole account. In the judgment, reference is made to the Local Government: Systems Act (LGSA) (Act 32 of 2000) which spells out the duties and obligations of a municipality, as a well as its rights. Point 10 of the judgment stresses that a municipality can make by-laws which aid it in this function and that the national and provincial government must, “by legislative and other measures, support and strengthen the capacity of municipalities to manage their own affairs, to exercise their powers and to perform their functions.” Any judgment regarding municipal services will therefore take this into account. In this regard, it may appear that municipal by-laws are given preference over national laws. The chairman of the National Ratepayers Union (NRPU), Mr Jaap Kelder, in his initial reaction to the judgment, stresses that Rademan had (perhaps erroneously) relied on a possible conflict between the conditions of the Electricity Regulation Act (ERA) (Act 4 of 2006) and the LGSA regarding the termination of the electricity supply. Rademan argued that her electricity could not be cut because she had paid that portion of her account. The ConCourt disagrees. However, the ConCourt goes further than just
give judgment on the case between Rademan and the MLM. It points out that a remedy exists for a resident or ratepayer where “the municipality demands payment for a service or services in circumstances where the municipality has not provided the service or services” (point 41). It further points out (point 42) that “in the present matter it was not Ms Rademan’s case that the municipality claimed payment for services it had not rendered. Indeed, in the present matter it has not been proved that the municipality was claiming payment for services that had been rendered poorly or inefficiently. However, where a municipality claims payment from a resident or ratepayer for services, it is only entitled to payment for services that it has rendered. By the same token, where a municipality claims from a resident … for services, the resident … is only obliged to pay the municipality for services that have been rendered. There is no obligation … to pay for a service that has not been rendered” [our emphasis]. The judgment continues (point 44) by pointing out that a dispute can be declared regarding the service delivery or lack thereof between the municipality and the consumer which, in the case of the MLM’s by-laws, will be referred to an appeals committee, whose decision is final in terms of local remedies. If the resident is not satisfied with the ruling of the appeals committee, the matter can be brought to court for a decision. According to Kelder, this is in line with the NRPU’s contention that ratepayers should not be forced to pay for services rendered poorly or not at all. In a letter to the SRPA and other ratepayers associations, he states that this ruling closes the door for people who refuse to pay for electricity on grounds other than a dispute declared. This will mainly affect the non-paying public, whereas those withholding their payment (paying into a trust account instead) will not be affected because the money will be available when necessary. The implication for the local SRPA and its members is that the dispute with the MM regarding problematic service delivery will probably be contended based on the MM’s by-laws and whether or not the same remedy (or alternatives) exists as in the case of the MLM’s by-laws. A thorough study of the MM’s by-laws will determine this. The question remains how one would argue such a case in court and prove poor service delivery or lack of service delivery. According to Kelder, a very clear “paper trail” needs to be established to provide evidence of the latter. What is apparent, however, is that this saga is very far from over.

SBBV wil eers met hulle lede praat Die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging (SBBV) nooi al hul lede uit na ‘n vergadering op 15 Mei. “Ons lede sal ons adviseer oor hoe hulle wil hê dat ons voortgaan met belastingaksies,” het voorsitter Inga Gilfillan gesê. Sy het gesê dat die SBBV, terwyl hulle wag vir regsadvies, neig na die beklemtoning van die denkrigting aangedui deur die Konstitusionele Hof in die uitspraak van die Rademan-saak dat verbruikers nie hoef te betaal vir dienste wat nie gelewer is nie. Die implikasies van die Rademan-saak sal op die vergadering bespreek word. Hierdie deurslaggewende vergadering van die SBBV sal om 18:00 by die kerksaal van die NG Kerk Soutpansberg-gemeente gehou word. “Deur te bevind dat inwoners nie vir dienste hoef te betaal wat nie gelewer is nie, is die deur oopgemaak vir inwoners wat dispute oor swak of geen dienslewering verklaar het. Volgens paragraaf 44 van die hofuitspraak kan ‘n inwoner ‘n klagte lê oor die bedrag betaalbaar vir ‘n spesifieke diens wat geag nie gelewer te wees nie en die inwoner kan slegs betaal vir die diens of dienste waarmee hy of sy tevrede is, beide ten opsigte van die bedrag sowel as die kwaliteit van die diens. Dit sluit dus 100% aan by die prosesse wat die BBV’s al jare lank volg deur hulle griewe met ‘n papierspoor te vestig,” het mnr. Jaap Kelder, voorsitter van die Nasionale Belastingbetalersunie gesê.

What happened to all the objections against Vele? The Save Mapungubwe Coalition met with their lawyers at Mapungubwe over the past weekend to determine their strategy with regard to CoAL of Africa Limited’s (CoAL) mining activities at Vele. The environmental coalition, consisting of the Endangered Wildlife Trust, the Wilderness Foundation South Africa, the World Wide Fund for Nature South Africa, the Association of Southern African Professional Archaeologists, the Mapungubwe Action Group and BirdLife South Africa, is better known as the Coalition. The Coalition had an informal strategy meeting with their lawyers from the University of the Witwatersrand’s Centre for Applied Legal Studies (CALS) on Saturday (27th). Represented at the meeting were various local communities who are descendants of the first inhabitants of Mapungubwe. Also at the meeting were surrounding farmers and lodge owners, as well as representatives of numerous environmental awareness groups that are also part of the Coalition. The meeting acted as a podium for the concerned parties to voice their feelings regarding CoAL. Particularly the communities felt that their concerns were being ignored, not so much by the mine, but rather by the government. “What has happened to our previous complaints and appeals? I’m certain of it that it has been filed in File 13 and has now been long forgotten,” remarked one community leader. Due to the fact that not all the documents and remarks made during this meeting are public knowledge yet, the attendees asked for anonymity.
The Vele colliery is CoAL’s first operational open-cast mine in the Soutpansberg coal basin and is about 7km from the Mapungubwe World Heritage Site. Since plans became known more than three years ago about the proposed mine, the Coalition has been involved in a legal battle with CoAL. This saw CoAL paying fines of about R9 million to the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) for an infringement of water licences. At that stage, however, the mine was already 95% complete, and in 2011 the mine was finished and 55 000 tonnes were hauled from its first box cut. Afterwards, the Coalition and CoAL entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to work together to ensure that CoAL follows, to the letter, the terms of all their licences. This agreement was cancelled in December last year due to “past and ongoing non-compliance with water legislation at Vele.” Despite the water being a burning issue, attendees at the meeting also felt that CoAL, together with the government, only sees the money to be made out of coal and not the environment or any cultural heritage in the area. “There is no monetary value for them in wildlife, trees or culture,” remarked another attendee. Since the termination of the MoU, CALS has come up with an environmental management committee (EMC) – a first in South Africa. This committee represents key role players with an interest in the mine. The EMC will see to it that CoAL stick to all the regulations as stipulated in their various mining authorisations.
Since the removal of the speed hump, this particular piece of road in Kort Street has gone from bad to worse. So much so that motorists have to drive on the shoulders of the road to avoid serious damage to their vehicles. This situation, in turn, has become a big frustration for businesses that have to give up their parking spaces, which have been reduced to mud puddles. No media comment from the Makhado Municipality regarding the situation was forthcoming at the time of going to press. Municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi acknowledged receipt of the newspaper’s questions and said that it would receive attention “soon”. By Andries van Zyl
Local SPCA in dire straits over money The Louis Trichardt Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is at present in dire straits. Over the last couple of months, it has become more and more difficult to fulfil their duties as a non-profit organisation. The main reason for this is a serious shortage of funds. They do not receive any help from government and rely solely on donations. These donations have, however, all but dried up in recent times. “If we do not receive help urgently in the form of frequent cash donations, we would have no other option than to close the local branch of the SPCA. If this happens, residents’ closest SPCA branch would be in Polo kwane,” says Mrs Bea Reimer, chairperson of the management
committee. Reimer explained that, on average, it costs the branch between R40 000 and R45 000 per month to keep their gates open. This includes veterinary fees, fuel, municipal levies, office expenses and, most importantly, animal food. “Our situation is dire and we are still waiting for the R1 million inheritance left to us by our dear friend and animal lover, Miss Betty Noakes, who passed away nearly two years ago. But even when we receive this money, we will only be able to use the interest on the amount,” says Reimer. The local SPCA covers a vast area, stretching from Matoks in the south to the Zimbabwean border in the north and from Masisi in the east to Vivo/Alldays
in the west. “You would therefore understand that to send out our vehicle to Masisi or Alldays for a day costs a lot of money,” says Reimer. Reimer urged people to consider contributing a small amount each month, maybe by debit order, to help keep the local SPCA’s gates open. Once-off donations are also very welcome. For those wishing to make a donation, the local SPCA’s banking details are SPCA Louis Trichardt, Standard Bank, account number 282374639 and branch code 052 549. All funds received are subject to an annual audit. For more information, phone Reimer at 082 424 5719 or inspector Khodobo at 082 965 5151.

Arrogant police officers’ actions were malicious The Minister of Safety and Security was once more ordered to pay thousands of rands in damages, following yet another case of wrongful arrest by the police. The claim for damages arose from the arrest, detention and subsequent prosecution of the then 68-year-old Mrs Issie Combrink, owner of CC Metal Merchants in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), on 23 January 2008. She, together with Mr Eric Mnisi, an employee, was arrested for allegedly being in possession of suspected stolen property in the form of scrap metal. Upon her arrest, Combrink informed the two arresting officers, Warrant Officer Edward Ramuthuthu and Sergeant Bethuel Makananise, that she was in possession of a control register which could have assisted them in verifying that the items found and confiscated by the said police officers were legitimately obtained. She was, however, ignored by the officers, who proceeded
to arrest her. After her arrest, Combrink was detained for eight hours in the police’s holding cells after which she was granted bail of R500. She appeared in court the next day on the said charge. Her case was postponed several times and eventually withdrawn on 25 March of that year on the grounds that “There are no prospects of a conviction. The defence (plaintiff) submitted proof of purchase of the properties by means of a receipt book and register.” Subsequently, a civil case for wrongful arrest was filed by Combrink. Judgment in the case was given by Judge J Makgoba in the North Gauteng High Court on 19 April. In his judgement, Judge Makgoba stated,
among other things, that the two officers, who ise acquired and perused the control register, they argued that Combrink had failed to produce her would have not instigated a process of prosecucontrol register when asked to do so, did not im- tion against Combrink. “Consequently, there was press him as witnesses. malice (animus injuriandi) on the part of the two “Both of them were too talkative, long-winded police officers to cause the charge to be preferred and could not answer questions properly and as against the plaintiff.

(GSP). The GSP incorporates CoAL’s Chapudi, Mopane and Makhado projects. The new name was decided on during the March 2013 quarter, when CoAL continued to compile exploration and technical data on the GSP project. CoAL has confirmed that, as soon as the exploration work is done, that they will start applying for the various new order mining rights to start mining at MbeuYashu. For the Makhado project, which is 65km south-west of Musina, CoAL is currently waiting for their mining right to be granted, subject to completing a black-economic-empowerment transaction for the project. For this project, CoAL apperently admitted during an info meeting held at Tshipise on 20 April that they are still not sure where the water will come from to operate the mine.

ZOUTPANSBERGER Deur Linda van der Westhuizen
Dapper Reinhardt (7) nou in vensterperiode Vier jaar gelede, op 20 April 2009, is ‘n driejarige seuntjie van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) met akute limfoblastiese leukemie gediagnoseer en het hy dapper begin veg. Met tye was die klein lyfie amper te swak om die terugslae die hoof te bied. Wat ‘n kontras om klein Reinhardt Smit nou te
sien - ‘n vrolike en lewenslustige sewejarige met ‘n gesonde eetlus en baie sêgoed. Reinhardt is nou in ‘n vensterperiode vir twee jaar, nadat hy in Julie verlede jaar sy medikasie en behandelings voltooi het. “Die afgelope vier jaar was ‘n roller coaster ride. Die heel moeilikste was om te sien hoe jou kind hulpeloos daar lê en jy kan niks vir hom doen nie. Gelukkig vergeet ‘n mens baie van die goed. Dit is iets wat jou sterk maak in die geloof en jou verhoudings met jou gesinslede, familie en vriende versterk,” sê Ma Louise, terwyl sy terugdink. Sy sê dat 2009 en 2010 twee moeilike jare was waarin ‘n baie siek Reinhardt in en uit die hospitaal was. In 2011 is daar ‘n virus in sy bloed gevind en het hy elke maand bloedoortappings ontvang. “Die afgelope jaar was ‘n goeie een, veral vandat die kankermedikasie gestop is en sy liggaam sy eie immuniteit kon opbou. Reinhardt het verlede jaar ‘n hokkiewedstryd gespeel, maar ek dink hy was meer in die span as ‘n mascot!” sê Louise. Reinhardt vertel met groot oortuiging dat hy baie van speel hou en niks van stilsit nie en demonstreer daar en dan hoe hy ‘n denkbeeldige rugbybal gaan skop. “Ek hou van wegkruipertjie, touchers en krieket. Ek hou baie van krieket, om te kolf en te boul,”sê Reinhardt, terwyl kleinboet Ewan (5) die nuus meedeel dat die krieketkolf gebreek het. Ma Louise sê dis omdat die kolf vir allerhande ander doeleindes ook gebruik word … Die twee boeties maak seker dat hulle geboortedatums noukeurig aangeteken word. Reinhardt sê dat hy op 14 September agt word en Ewan word sommer een van die dae (op 19 Junie) ses. Albei is in die CVO Skool Zoutpansberg, ouboet in Graad 2 en kleinboet in Graad 0 “Die ding is nou om deur die vensterperiode te kom. Volgens die dokter is hy vir alle praktiese doeleindes leukemie-vry. As hy deur die twee-jaar periode kom (vanaf Julie 2012) en nie ‘n terugslag Wat ‘n kontras om klein Reinhardt Smit nou ondervind nie, sal sy kanse daarna dieselfde as te sien - ‘n vrolike en lewenslustige sewejarige, joune en myne wees om kanker te kry,” sê Louise. Nege maande van dié periode is reeds verby. met ‘n gesonde eetlus en baie sêgoed.

Netbalspelers van Laerskool Louis Trichardt het hulle netbalvaardighede verbeter deur ‘n netbalkliniek onder leiding van bekende netbalafrigter Martie Morey by te woon. Al die netbalspelers, van die O/8-spelertjies tot by die O/13’s, het baat gevind by hierdie netbalkliniek, wat op 12 en 13 April by die skool aangebied is. Morey, wat ook die afrigter van TUKS se Jongspan is, het die spelers gehelp om verskeie netbalvaardighede aan te leer, soos balvaardighede, aanvalstegnieke, spelpatrone, doelskiettegnieke en verdedigingsmetodes. ‘n Netbalspeler van Afrikaans Hoër Pretoria, Natalie du Plooy, het vir Martie bygestaan. Die skool se netbalafrigters, waaronder Sussa Ehlers, Melinda du Plessis, Carina Joubert en Elisma Cordier, het die kursus baie leersaam gevind. Die kursus is georganiseer deur die netbalklub van Laerskool Louis Trichardt. “Hulle netbal is sterk, hoor. Ek het baie lekker afgerig. Ons het ‘n goeie ontvangs gehad en alles was baie goed georganiseer,” het Martie Morey op 25 April gesê. Die netbalklub bedank die volgende instansies en persone vir hul hulp en bydrae om hierdie netbal kliniek moontlik te maak: Renthia Geyer van Grape Vine Gastehuis (vir die borg van die verblyf), Jan Kleynhans, eienaar van Mike’s Kitchen (vir die borg van etes), asook Anriëtte Knoetse, Vanessa Gilfillan, Madelein Nel en ander ouers vir hulle positiewe bydrae en hulp gedurende die kursus.
Die kompetisie, en so ook die boot, is gewen deur die twee Stefans van die S&S Fear no Fishspan van Polokwane. Hier is hulle afgeneem met van hul vangste, wat deel was van hul swaarste sak vis oor die twee dae. Foto verskaf. Bedanking

Dapper Stapper word weer goed ondersteun Die jaarlikse Grab-a-Granny/ Dapper Stapper rolstoelwedren en pretloop ten bate van Ons Tuiste Ouetehuis in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het, soos gewoonlik, baie pret opgelewer. Tannie Braampie Viljoen, in die rolstoel gestoot deur mnr. Jan van Wyngaardt, het die eer te beurt geval om die ander rolstoele weg te rol. Hulle ontvang die wisseltrofee vir die beste rolstoelspan. Hulle gesamentlike ouderdom was ‘n volle 166 jaar! Tannie Koeks Manser stap flink en het die pretloop vir die ouderdomsgroep bo 80 jaar gewen. Die mans- en vrouewenners vir 70 tot 79 jaar is mnr. Giel Nel en me. Drienie Franklin, terwyl mnr. Jan van Wyngaardt die trofee vir mans 60 tot 69 jaar al vir die soveelste keer inpalm. Me. Corrie Coetzee wen die vrouetrofee in hierdie afdeling. By die 9.9km-wedloop hardloop Mathabi Ndivho onder almal uit en is die manswenner, terwyl
Sheryl James die vrouewenner en Chrisli Markram die O/12 wenner is. By die 5km is die wenners Aubrey Rambau (man), Glory Nkoana (vrou), Tanaka Musariri (seun) en Makgomo Nkoana (meisie).

Die prys vir die meeste gees vir die dag is gesamentlik gewen deur Ashley Lawrence en Salomé Lubbe. Hoewel daar minder deelnemers as gewoonlik was as gevolg van baie geleenthede wat op dieselfde dag plaasgevind het, sê organiseerders Die jaarlikse Grab-a-Granny/Dapper Stapper-geleentheid en rolstoelwedren op 27 April het, soos Lucas en Rina Vermeulen dat dit steeds lekker was gewoonlik, baie pret opgelewer. en dat daar ‘n goeie vooruitsig vir volgende jaar is. Hulle sê dat die Soutpansberg Atletiekklub, wat hul elke jaar bystaan, aangedui het dat hulle die moontlikheid gaan ondersoek om hierdie wedloop as ‘n atletiekgeleenthied geregistreer te kry wat dan atlete van oraloor kan trek.
