Minister en Ramovha moet saam opdok Noord-Gautengse hooggeregshof gelas dat beide minister en plaaslike stasiebevelvoerder moet opdok

Hofnuus Die polisie se haas om ’n skuldige vas te trek wat in 2005 die standbeeld van Makhado geverf het, het ’n lastige nadraai vir die Minister van Veiligheid en Sekuriteit, asook die plaaslike stasiebevelvoerder.

Hulle is Dinsdag beveel om skadever­ goeding van R70 000 te betaal aan mnr.

Dieter Venter, wat kort na die voorval gearresteer is.

Regter Jan Hiemstra het Dinsdag in die Noord-Gautengse hooggeregshof bevel gegee dat die Minister en kol.

Francois Ramovha, bevelvoerder van Makhado polisiestasie, skadevergoeding aan Venter moet betaal asook al sy regskoste in die geding. Die bevel spruit voort uit die onregmatige arres en aanhouding van Venter op 17 November 2005 omrede hy na bewering die beeld van Makhado sou geverf het.

Venter het getuig dat Tot op hede is nog niemand aangekeer in verband met die verf van die hy kort na die standbeeld standbeeld van Makhado in 2005 nie.

geverf is saam met ’n groep vriende by die Hanglippiekniekterrein gekuier het. Hy het grappenderwys die opmerking gemaak dat hy by sy werksplek alle verfblikke sal moet weggooi, aangesien sy werksplek onlangs dieselfde kleure geverf is as die beeld en die polisie mag dink dat hy die beeld geverf het. Hy het ook getuig dat hy die aand toe die beeld geverf is by vriende oorgeslaap het.

Iemand by die piekniek het hom egter as ’n verdagte by die polisie aangegee en op 17 November is hy in die teenwoordigheid van sy verloofde in die middedorp gearresteer. Hy is daarna na die Dzanani-polisiekantoor geneem en in die selle gestop. Hy is toegang tot ‘n regsverteenwoordiger geweier.

Dr. Suwil Rudolph van Van Heerden en Rudolph Prokureurs het daarna getuig dat hy vanuit Johannesburg opdrag ontvang het om ‘n borgaansoek te bring. Hy het die ondersoekbeampte, kapt. Ramovha (tans bevelvoerder van die Makhado SAPD) geskakel, wat geweier het om Venter na die hof te bring. Hy is ook toegang tot sy kliënt geweier.

Dr. Rudolph het getuig dat hy meegedeel is dat Venter na Dzanani gebring is omrede daar te veel Kol. Francois Ramovha, stasiebevelvoerder van ontsnappings in Louis Trichardt was. die Makhado SAPD, wat saam met die Minister (Vervolg op p. 3) van Veiligheid en Sekuriteit sal moet opdok.

Boere veg verloorstryd teen onwettige jagters Asof moeilike ekonomiese omstan­ dighede, die droogte en onsekerheid rondom eienaarskap van grond nie genoeg is nie, word daar van boere ook nog verwag om in baie opsigte ‘n verloorstryd teen onwettige jag­ ters te veg.

Mnr. Willem van der Merwe van die plaas Hermanus in die Mopanieomgewing is kwaad. Hy het voorDie ver­dragtige elandkoei, verstrengel in ‘n draadstrik, wat Van der verlede week twee elande, ‘n groot Merwe moes uitsit. Foto verskaf. bul en ‘n ver-dragtige koei, as gevolg van draadstrikke verloor.

Min mense besef watter wrede manier draadstrikke is vir ‘n dier om te vrek. In baie gevalle lê die dier vir dae in die veld voordat dit uiteindelik van honger en dors vrek. Soms doen die onwettige strikstellers ook nie eers die moeite om hul strikke na te gaan nie.

Van der Merwe se elandbul se einde was eweneens wreed. Dié dier is ook nie dadelik deur die draadstrik gedood nie.

Die strikstellers het toe eers die dier se hakskeensenings afgekap, waarna Die verstrengelde elandbul se hakskeensenings is eers afgekap, waarna hulle dit met klippe doodgegooi het. dit met klippe doodgegooi is. Foto verskaf.

Die karkas is daarna opgekap, maar alles is nie eers weggedra nie. Hompe vleis is sommer net daar in die veld gelos saam met een van die jagters se Okapi-knipmes – so honger was hulle sekerlik nie. In die geval van die elandkoei, moes Van Der Merwe noodgedwonge die dier uit haar lyding verlos. Ook sy is nie deur die strik gedood nie maar het erge beserings opgedoen. Koei en kalf is beide daarmee heen.

“Ek voer my diere al die afgelope drie maande self vanweë die droogte.

Dit kos my duisende rande om te voer – dan word my diere so weggedra,” sê ‘n opsigtelik-ontstoke Van der Merwe. Die waarde van die diere self beloop sowat R20 000.

Van der Merwe sê sake word by die polisie aangemeld. Dan en wan word sake ondersoek en soms ontvang hulle selfs besoek van die polisie. Resultate in die vorm van arrestasies en skuldigbevindings is egter skraps.

Van der Merwe sê hy het heeltemal begrip vir boere se frustrasies en

optrede teenoor onwettige jagters. Hy het veral verwys na die onlangse voorval by Masekwaspoort waar ‘n boer ‘n trop jaghonde vrek geskiet het en hul karkasse teen sy draadheining langs die N1 opgehang het – ‘n sterk boodskap aan ander onwettige jagters. Tog het talle diereliefhebbers die boer daaroor gekritiseer.

“Hierdie mense verstaan nie waaroor dit gaan nie,” het Van der Merwe gesê.

Poging tot moord klag teen 24-jarige teruggetrek

Die poging tot moord klag teen die 24­jarige Tinus Oosthuyse van Louis Trichardt is verlede Donderdag te­ ruggetrek.

Tinus het weer saam met sy pa, Martinus Jacobus Oosthuyse (47), en vier van sy pa se werkers, Rodger Chikadzi, Gift Machipisa, David Mapiye en Gilbert Sikhokho Muthelo, op aanklagte van poging tot moord, ontvoering en aanranding in die distrikshof hier verskyn.

Dit volg na Oosthuyse (snr.) se arrestasie in September. Die ses mans is in hegtenis geneem, nadat hulle glo die reg in eie hande geneem het en drie Zimbabwiese mans, wat hulle vermoed het by Oosthuyse se onderneming ingebreek het, agter ‘n bakkie gesleep het. Daar is ook sprake dat die drie beweerde slagoffers aan 'n boom vasgebind is en met pype aangerand is.

Die klagte teen Tinus is laat vaar

weens die feit dat daar nie voldoende bewyse is om hom aan te kla nie. Hulle regsverteenwoordiger, me. Steffie van der Westhuizen, het dit aan die Zoutpansberger bevestig.

Intussen sal die vier werknemers in aanhouding bly totdat hulle saak afgehandel is. Borg kan nie aan hulle toegestaan word nie, aangesien hul werkspermitte ten tye van hul aanhouding verval het.

Al vier is glo Zimbabwiërs.

BUSINESS talk

By Frans van der Merwe

Steyn Steel quickly expanding reach A brand new supplier for all steel requirements, Steyn Steel, opened its doors for business this week in Louis Trichardt.

This development follows the successful establishment of Steyn Steel since March this year in Thohoyandou.

Partners Jacques Steyn and Willem Joubert’s mutual linkage with the steel trade goes back as far as 1998 when they were both associated with the

Tshikondeni mine.

“Our new supply outlets in Thohoyandou and Louis Trichardt have already created 50 new jobs for locals and put a high premium on customer service,” says Jacques.

Steyn Steel’s main focus is on steel and steel-related hardware. It also markets quality paints under its own Steyn Steel label. This includes highquality steel primer and gloss enamel paints.

“As a result of our excellent supply chain, we can access large quantities of steel fast.

This enables us to render an excellent service to our clients,” says Willem.

Steyn Steel’s prominent building is situated at 1 Burger Street (next to Danedi).

Travelling representative Wayne Page can be contacted on 072 194 5771 and Jacques’s contact number is 082 215 6089.

Hofnuus

Man kry R70 000 ná arrestasie (Vervolg van p.1) Die tussenkoms van die staatsaanklaer, mnr. Ryno Mostert, kon Ramo vha ook nie tot ander insigte bring nie. Rudolph het met die taakspan se bevelvoerder, supt.

Ratelwana, ook ‘n bloutjie geloop, waarna hy hom tot die Nasionale Kommissaris van Polisie gewend het en uiteindelik by die provinsiale kommissaris toestemming gekry het om Venter te sien. In Dzanani het hy Venter in hand en voetboeie gekonsulteer. Op 18 November het Venter in die hof in Louis Trichardt verskyn, waar alle aanklagte teen hom laat vaar is.

Mostert, toe beheeraanklaer, het dr. Rudolph se weergawe gestaaf en getuig dat hy en kapt. Ramovha ‘n uitval gehad het waartydens hy beskuldig is dat hy bevooroordeeld was. Hy het die dossier gelees en kon geen getuienis vind waarop Venter aangekla kon word nie. Mostert het geweier om te vervolg, waarna verteenwoordigers van die plaaslike munisipaliteit ‘n memorandum aan hom oorhandig het. Hierin het hulle geëis dat alle plaaslike aanklaers en landdroste hulle van die saak onttrek en dat borgtog aan Venter geweier word. Dit het hy aan die landdros oorhandig.

Wyle landdros Sakkie Scheepers het hom sterk teen die memorandum uitgespreek en dit bestempel as inmenging met die regspleging. In die getuienis wat by die hof ingedien is, het verskeie ander interessanthede ook te voorskyn gekom. Uit die dossier blyk dit dat die hoofverdagte, op grond van vingerafdrukke wat op die

toneel gevind is, ’n swart persoon is.

Die afdruk is reeds op 29 November 2005 geïdentifiseer as dié van ene S.G. Nthombeni. Eers bykans drie jaar later, op 12 September 2008, is ’n lasbrief vir sy inhegtenisneming uitgereik. Uit wat in die hof getuig is, kon nie vasgestel word of Nthombeni wel gearresteer en ondervra is nie.

Die staat het hierna Zirk Erasmus geroep, wat getuig het dat Venter sou gesê het dat hy die beeld geverf het. Sy getuienis het afgewyk van sy aanvanklike verklaring en hy moesdie regter om verskoning vra omdat hy nie die waarheid gepraat het nie.

Hy het verder getuig dat sy broer ook vir die oortreding gearresteer is en ‘n naweek in die selle moes deurbring.

Hy het nie gedink dat grappe oor die beeld snaaks was nie.

In kruisondervraging moes Erasmus toegee dat die opmerkings by Hanglip alles in ’n ligte luim was.

Hy het ook beweer dat die polisie hom genader het en ongeveer 10 lede hom geïntimideer het en sy verklaring vir hom opgestel het. Dit is nooit aan hom teruggelees nie en hy is ook nie ’n eed opgelê nie.

Na hierdie getuienis het die verweerders besluit om handdoek in te gooi en nie vir kol. Ramovha te roep om te getuig nie. Skikkingsvoorstelle is gemaak, wat gelei het tot die hofbevel. Die gevolg daarvan is dat indien die staat nie binne 14 dae betaal nie, rente vanaf dag een daarop betaal moet word en kol.

Ramovha kan ook in sy persoonlike hoedanigheid gedwing word om die bevel na te kom.

The second phase of the Great North Road Plaza was finished in October last year.

Business news

Great North Plaza sold to Investec for R145 million The Great North Road Plaza in Musina is about to get new owners. This popular shopping centre, comprising 13 561 m² of lettable space, has been sold to In­ vestec Property Fund for R145 million.

Construction of the Great North Road Plaza began in July 2008 and the first phase opened in October 2009. It is probably the biggest ever property development project the border town had ever seen.

Phase Two was completed in 2010 and with it welcomed tenants such as Shoprite, OK Furniture, Clicks and Express Stores.

The plaza consists of two retail centres on either side of the N1 highway.

The developer was the well-known Solly Noor Properties group, which is

015 516 1663 Combo!

responsible for a large number of developments not only in Limpopo, but also in other parts of the country.

The centre boasts with parking bays for 400 vehicles and even has a food court where customers can relax while enjoying a meal.

When it was constructed, a lot of effort went into the aesthetics and it was designed especially to blend in with the natural characteristics of the area. The indigenous trees, such as the beautiful baobabs, were retained and a sandstone effect compliments the semi-arid nature of Musina. The developers also upgraded the N1 where it passes the centre at a cost of over R5 million.

For Investec Property Fund, the acquisition is very attractive, especially because the national tenants and national brand franchises occupy 88% of the space and contribute 83% of the contractual income.

According to a report in Business Day, the centre provides an attractive income yield of 9,2%, which would enhance the earnings and growth prospects of the Investec fund.

The paper quotes Investec’s CEO, Sam Leon, as saying that Musina is a vibrant commercial and trading centre in the far north of Limpopo, servicing both the surrounding agricultural sector as well as cross-border trade from Zimbabwe.

Moenie te lank wag om sertifikaat te kry

By die disfunksionele rioolpompstasie in die rioolmoeras op die rand van Eltivillas se nuwe uitbreiding langs die Vondelingpad, net buite Louis Trichardt, het rioolwater Maandag (31) by tye etlike meters hoog uitgespuit. Die vraag in inwoners se gemoed is hoe ver is die Makhado Munisipaliteit met die nuwe uitvalwerke wat tans in aanbou is langs die Sinthumule­pad.

By Linda van der Westhuizen

New promises made in regard to dispute The dispute between ratepay­ ers and the Makhado Munici­ pality took an interesting turn, with a renewed promise by the municipality at a meeting last week.

“The municipality promised to, within seven working days, deliver a complete document with action plans and target dates when certain services pertaining to the dispute will be implemented. They will compile the document with the help of CoGTA,” said Ms Inga Gilfillan, chairperson of the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SPRA) this week.

The meeting that was originally scheduled for October 3 did not take place, due to the absence of the municipal manager, but was postponed to October 27. The municipal manager, Mr Shadrack Tshikalange, representatives of the Makhado Local Municipality, as well as the Vhembe District Municipality, CoGTA (Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs), members

of the executive committee of the SRPA, their manager and their legal advisor, were present last week.

“To our surprise, the municipal manager denied that there was a dispute and said that it had been solved already,” said Gilfillan.

The SRPA reminded the meeting of the fact that the official dispute had been declared on 26 August 2008.

“A meeting similar to this was held between the SRPA and the Makhado and Vhembe Municipalities on October 24, 2008, with promises of target dates and action plans to be announced to the association in January 2009.

To date we have not received such, “ the SRPA told the meeting. The SRPA document that served at the meeting emphasises the five issues that the ratepayers concentrate on in the dispute.

These include the contentious issue of property rates, continuous sewerage spilling was brought to the table, as well as the town’s chronic water shortages. The poor condition of roads in the

industrial area and in different parts of town and “huge potholes in Eltivillas – the worst of all problems” was mentioned, as well as the current inconvenience to parents, teachers and surrounding homes, due to the slow progress of the Anderson Street road works near the local high school.

Electricity is a basic service and the supply is often faulty, especially to the Levubu area, resulting in loss of production.

“Our letter on prepaid electricity selling points sent to you in February this year, regarding your rates charged for prepaid meters and the request to expand selling points remains unanswered,” the SRPA stated.

“We now await the duly promised action plan and target dates to reach us on November 8 this year,” said Gilfillan.

The Makhado Municipality has been silent on the meeting and has not as yet given any comment, minutes or resolutions of the meeting to the Zoutpansberger.

Crime

Police concerned over increase in rape The Makhado police expressed concern this week about a spate of rape cases reported in and around Louis Trichardt and Vleifontein.

In four of the rape cases being investigated, three of the victims were minors - one three years, one six years and one 12

years old.

Circumstances surrounding an incident in town, involving a 25-year-old victim, are still being investigated. The victim alleged that she was raped last Saturday at about 15:30 by her employer in the central business district.

Local police spokesperson

Capt Maano Sadike appealed to the community to be more alert and to see to it that minors are never left alone.

Teenagers should also walk in groups. Parent should always know where their children are and must never send them far away alone.

Voertuigeienaars wat hul voer­ tuie se oorspronlike registras­ iepapier verloor het en dit moet vervang, moet daarop let dat daar ‘n spertyd ver­ bonde is aan die afhaal van die duplikaat sertifikaat by die munisipaliteit.

Talle voertuigeienaars het al in die slaggat getrap om nie betyds die duplikaat sertifikaat op te eis nie en derhalwe die aansoekproses moes herhaal.

Mnr. Tielman van der Berg van Louis Trichardt vertel dat sy vrou besluit het om haar ou Volkswagentjie te verkoop. Hulle kon egter nie die voertuig se oorspronklike registrasiepapier opspoor nie en moes noodgedwonge aansoek doen vir ‘n nuwe een. Sonder dié sertifikaat kan die voertuig nie verkoop of deur die toets gesit word nie.

Hulle het die heraansoek pro-

ses begin September van stapel gestuur. Die wagperiode was sowat ses weke. Hierdie duplikaat sertifikaat word ook nie plaaslik uitgereik nie, maar deur die Department van Vervoer in Polokwane.

Groot was hul blydskap toe hulle op Donderdag, 20 Oktober ‘n oproep ontvang van die munisipaliteit wat hulle meedeel dat hul nuwe sertifikaat beskikbaar is.

Aangesien hulle op ‘n plaas bly, het Van den Berg eers die volgende week Dinsdag kans gekry om dorp toe te ry. Tot sy skok moes hy hoor dat die sertifikaat intussen reeds verval het en dat hulle weer van voor af moet aansoek doen. Munisipale woordvoerder mnr. Louis Bobodi het Dinsdag bevestig dat dié spesifieke sertifikaat slegs geldig is vir dertig (30) dae na uitreiking

as dit nie opgeëis word nie. Die bedrag betaalbaar by opeising, sê hy, is R618 in gevalle waar die sertifikaat verlore geraak het. Die bedrag betaalbaar om die pienk voertuig registrasiesertifikaat om te skakel na die rekenaarsertifikaat is R213.

“Aansoekers word [deur die munisipaliteit] ingelig van die periode of dae wat hulle oor het om die sertifikaat af te haal, voordat dit verval,” het Bobodi gesê.

Van der Berg verskil egter met dié stelling.

“Niemand het vir ons gesê die sertifikaat het ‘n ‘vervaldatum’ op nie, anders sou ons dit vroeër afgehaal het,” het Van den Berg gesê. Gelukkig geskied betaling by ontvangs van die sertifikaat en het hulle niks verloor nie.

Dit is egter die proses van weer heraansoek doen wat die ongerief veroorsaak.

Sommige huiseienaars ken al die “groen briefies” wat hulle inlig dat hulle munisipale rekening agterstallig is. Die briefies vorm deel van ´n stelsel wat akkurate meterlesings wil bevorder deur middel van die nuutste tegnologie.

Deur Linda van der Westhuizen

Tegnologie gaan kragstelers uitvang Onwettige aansluitings en aanskakeling is taboe met die nuwe op en wakker meterlesers wat in Louis Trichardt en omgewing elektrisiteit­ en waterlesings neem. Die nuutste tegnologie word ingespan om meterlesings glad te laat verloop.

“As ons weet ons het die krag afgesit en jy sit dit self onwettig aan, is jy in groot moeilikheid. Ons stelsel is redelik gesofistikeerd en sal dit optel. Ons maak ook ‘n saaklêer oop,” waarsku mnr. Corné Fourie, hoof uitvoerende beampte en een van die eienaars van die maatskappy wat vanaf 1 Julie die meterlesingskontrak vir die volgende drie jaar gekry het.

Sommige huiseienaars het ook al die “groen briefies” gekry wat hulle inlig dat hulle munisipale rekening agterstallig is. In die verlede is die elektrisiteit dikwels sommer net afgeskakel. Die briefie sê dat die huiseienaar sewe dae het om reëlings te gaan tref by die kredietbeheer department van die munisipaliteit. ‘n Huiseienaar moet ‘n gesertifiseerde kopie van sy identiteitskokument en bewys van inkomste saambring. ‘n Huurder moet ook nog ‘n brief van die huiseienaar of verhuringsagent saambring wat toestemming gee om reëlings ten opsigte van afbetaling te maak.

Alles is darem nie net duister vir die verbruiker nie. Daar is baie maatreëls in plek om vir die verbruiker tot voordeel te wees, soos die maatreëls wat kan seker maak dat die meters se lesings gereeld en op die regte plek geneem word. Die nuwe maatskappy, ETL Geographical Information Services wat as Bires handeldryf, is besig om ‘n strepieskode op elke meter te plaas. Hulle kry die geografiese koördinate van elke meter. Dit neem sowat ses maande om die hele proses vaartbelyn te kry.

“Ons maak van tegnologie gebruik en digitaliseer die hele proses. Dit is ‘n veiligheidsmaatreël om seker te maak die persoon wat die meter lees was fisies op die regte perseel by die regte meter,” sê Fourie.

Hoewel die maatskappy in Pretoria gebaseer is, is daar ‘n kantoor in Burgerstraat 115. Die bestuurder daar is mnr. Manny Netto. “Kom ons probeer die meterlesings effektief doen in die dorp. Ons is hier om die werk reg te doen. Ons het die publiek

se samewerking nodig en nooi hulle om met ons te kom gesels. Enige een wat meen dat sy lesings te hoog is, is welkom om die kantoor te besoek of 015 516 1305 te skakel. Ons het nie die kontrak om meters te toets nie, maar ons gaan en neem foto’s en bring dit onder die stadsraad se aandag en ons kry nogal reaksie. Ons stelsel wys lesings wat onnodig hoog is, uit. Ons gaan kyk waar daar afwykings is,” sê Fourie. Hy sê verder dat wanneer hulle uitgaan om klagtes te ondersoek en foto’s te neem, kom hulle baie keer op onwettige aansluitings af, waarvan die huisbewoners partykeer onbewus is.

Fourie het hierdie week gesê dat hy 619 rekenings op die stelsel het wat by die trustfonds van die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging inbetaal word en dat daar ‘n verdere 30 tot 40 rekenings by daardie groep sal bykom. Hulle is nog in die proses om die laaste rekenings te verifieer.

“Die mense van die vereniging hoef nie bang te wees dat hulle krag onnodig afgesny sal word nie, want hulle is op die stelsel aangedui,” sê Fourie.

Name change

Don’t change the names yet, asks CA The Chairpersons Associa­ tion (CA) has requested the local business fraternity not to change any stationery, busi­ ness cards or letterheads with regard to the name change of the town of Louis Trichardt until all legal processes have been followed.

Their call comes after the publication of the changing of the name of Louis Trichardt to Makhado in the Government Gazette of Friday, 15 October.

“The Minister will be requested to put a hold on all name changes until the finalisation of the review. The name change

will cost R18 million. No proper consultation process was followed and Makhado was a highly controversial figure not accepted by all,” says Mr André Naudé, chairperson of the CA, in a press release.

Naudé says they want to make it clear that the CA does not want to be seen as “anti-Venda” as they strive to reconcile all different viewpoints on the basis of stressing good corporate governance, public consultation on public matters, strong leadership and erasing corruption, tribalism and nepotism.

“We would like to see on

all levels of decisions made by the Local Authority and other Authorities, that the residents of the area be consulted properly and reasonably in order firstly to establish a need and secondly in order to establish as to what decisions should be made in respect of such a need,” Naudé says. He adds that consultation is regarded as a basic principle of a democratic society and whenever an authority acts otherwise - as in the instance of this name change – it is regarded as an undemocratic approach and totally unacceptable to the communities of South Africa.

Epilepsie moontlik oorsaak van dood Mnr. Johan van Heerden (54) van Louis Trichardt is Vrydag­ oggend skielik oorlede.

Volgens Van Heerden se seun, Jon, het sy pa se voertuig in Groblerstraat sonder brandstof

gaan staan. Sy pa het besluit om sommer die laaste paar straatblokke na sy huis in Presidentstraat te stap.

Kort daarna het Van Heerden blykbaar ‘n epileptiese aanval

gekry en langs die pad inmekaar gesak. Hy is op die toneel dood.

Van Heerden, voorheen van Polokwane, het die afgelope tien jaar in Louis Trichardt gewoon.

Hy was vir ‘n tydperk werksaam

by LTT Bolt & Nut, maar was vanweë sy gesondheid die afgelope paar jaar hoofsaaklik tuis. ‘n Roudiens vir Van Heerden is Woensdag vanuit die Volle Evangelie Kerk gehou. Hy word oorleef deur sy vrou, Lynette, seun, dogter Madeleine, skoon­seun Christo en kleinkinders.

South African Custodial Management contributed R20 000 towards the installation of a complete water supply and distribution system for Laat Lente and Herfsakker in Louis Trichardt. The project is a Rotary initiative, with the support of Round Table Zoutpansberg 66 and Ladies Circle 4. The donation was made by representatives of SACM’s Kutama Sinthumule Correctional Centre on Monday. Pictured from left are Messrs Johan Wagenaar (SACM deputy prison director), Lazarus Ncongwane (SACM prison director), Godfrey Went (Rotary) and Karin Odendaal (SACM unit manager).

Water woes soon a thing of the past Residents of Laat Lente and Herfsakker in Louis Trich­ ardt’s woes with chronic wa­ ter shortages promise to be a thing of the past by the end of November.

The people of Louis Trichardt are no strangers to the town’s continued interruptions in the water supply, and although many have by now invested in a borehole, storage tank and pressure pump, there are those who just cannot afford this alternative. Among those are the town’s elderly and this is where Rotary Louis Trichardt stepped in.

Earlier this year, the local Rotary Club, with the support of fellow charity organisations Round Table Zoutpansberg 66

and Ladies Circle 4, initiated a project to install a complete water supply system for the elderly of the Laat Lente and Herfsakker complex at a cost of close to R70 000.

“They sometimes go for days without water,” said Rotary’s Mr Godfrey Went. He said they had now reached the stage where they could begin with the installation of the system. He expressed his gratitude towards all who had contributed financially to the project. Among them was South African Custodial Management (SACM). In May this year, SACM’s Kutama Sinthumule Correctional Centre held their annual golf day. From the funds raised during this event, they

donated an impressive R20 000 towards the project.

“SACM’s donation surely helps a lot,” Went said. According to him, installation of the system will commence this week. It is not, however, just a question of erecting a few water storage tanks.

“This will be a completely hassle-free, fully automated water supply and distribution system,” Went said. It will also entail a separate system for both Laat Lente and Herfsakker.

Upon completion, Laat Lente will have 20 000 litres of water in storage, while Herfsakker will have 15 000 litres in reserve. “The project is scheduled to be completed within the next two to three weeks,” Went said.

“Blou bokse” jaag inwoners die harnas in

Guilty verdict for man who stones dog It was a small victory but a victory nonetheless for the Louis Trichardt SPCA when they helped secure a conviction against a man charged with cruelty against animals.

The 50-year-old Adziliwi Mmbedegwani from Muraleni appeared in the Tshiwavhusiku Magistrate’s Court on October 26 after being arrested under the Animal Protection Act (Act 71 of 1962).

His arrest followed an incident

on Sunday, 23 October when he, in full view of the public, stoned a dog to death. The SPCA was notified. The animal had suffered severe injuries, including a crushed skull.

Mmbedegwani was found guilty and sentenced to a R1 500 fine or five months’ imprisonment. His sentenced was, however, suspended for a period of three years, on condition that, during this time, he does not commit a similar offence.

Animal inspector Lawrence Khodobo welcomed the sentence, although he had hoped for a more severe sentence. “At least action was taken by the police and the court,” Khodobo said, adding that Mmbedegwani now has a criminal record.

Khodobo urged members of the public to contact him immediately, should they encounter incidents of cruelty to animals.

He can be contacted at 082 965 5151.

Venetia Mine anticipates that the current open pit mining operations will cease between 2020 and 2023 and as part of Venetia Mine’s long term strategy, the mine intends to exploit resources deeper than the current open pit horizons by changing the current mining method from an open pit mining process to an underground mining process. Mining could then be extended up until 2050.

gesprek met nog ‘n senior amptenaar gehad, maar geen samewerking gekry nie. Mnr. Jaap Kelder, voorsitter van die Nasionale Belastingbetalers­ unie, is toe genader, wat gesê het daar is nog nie soortgelyke gevalle op ander dorpe nie, net op Louis Trichardt.

Die volgende stap was om regsadvies in te win.

Dokumentasie is van al die lede waar die apparaat aangebring is verkry, sou daar besluit word om hof toe te gaan. “ Voor ons tot sulke drastiese stappe sou oorgaan, het mnre. Chrisjan van den Berg en Dennis Gillbert die munisipale bestuurder gaan sien. Hy het belowe dat die beperkings afgehaal sou word voor die einde van die dag,” sê Smith.

Die volgende dag was die apparate steeds daar.

Na nog ‘n oproep aan die munisipale bestuurder is die apparaat uiteindelik afgehaal. Die voorval het in September gebeur. “Ek het sedertdien nog nie weer klagtes oor die ‘blou bokse’ gekry nie,” het Smith hierdie week gesê.

Navrae aan die munisipaliteit oor hulle “blou boks” beleid bly steeds onbeantwoord.

At the back are Elize-Marie du Preez, Heila Oosthuizen, Nicky Olwage, Eduard Prinsloo, Jaco Mynhardt and Johnty Janse van Rensburg.

‘n Poging van die munisipaliteit om klaarblyklik die publiek te straf deur hul water te beperk, het inwoners die harnas ingejaag.

Mnr. Ampie du Toit van Louis Trichardt vertel dat ‘n groep munisipale beamptes by sy huis opgedaag en vir hom gesê het dat hulle sy water gaan beperk tot 200 liter per dag, omdat hy agterstallig is met sy munisipale rekening.

“Ek het vir hulle gewys dat my rekening op datum is. Ek betaal elke maand by die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging,” sê Du Toit.

Ongeag hiervan, is die sogenaamde “blou boks” wat water na huishoudings reguleer vroeg die volgende oggend by Du Toit se huis geïnstalleer.

“Geen water het deurgekom nie. Die persoon kon nie die toestel aan die gang kry nie en het gesê dat hy kort-kort in my erf sal moet inkom.

Ek het toegang geweier,” sê Du Toit, wat voel dat die watermeter in daardie geval dan eerder buite die erf moet wees.

Die middag het die amptenaar met die polisie opgedaag. “Die polisieman het verduidelik dat die amptenaar by hulle eiendom moet uitkom en dat ek toegang moet verleen. Ek het gesê dat hulle hul waterbeperkingstoestel ongevraagd hier ingebring het, maar het hulle toe laat inkom,” sê Du Toit.

Buiten dat daar geen geldige rede vir die beper­ king was nie, vra Du Toit wat ‘n mens nou eintlik met 200 liter water per dag in ‘n huishouding kan doen. Dit is ongeveer die hoeveelheid water om een bad te tap. “Ek het darem ‘n boorgat, maar wat van die ander mense wat dit nie het nie?” vra Du Toit.

Intussen het Du Toit die bestuurder van die SBBV, me. Aretha Smith, gesakel. Smith het gesê dat daar sowat sewe soortgelyke gevalle by haar aangemeld is. Dit het omtrent ‘n gestoei gekos.

“Ek het met die Vhembe amptenaar wat by Makhado Munisipaliteit geplaas is, probeer werk.

Ek het dokumentasie van 120 bladsye vir haar geneem en sy het aangedring daarop dat ek fotostate moet maak. Ek het geweier. Hoekom moet ek ons lede se geld gebruik vir afskrifte? Later het ek ‘n afskrif van die dispuut geneem en verduidelik dat hulle volgens wet nie hulle kredietbeheerbeleid teen ons lede mag gebruik nie. Die amptenaar wou ‘n dokument hê wat toon dat hulle die dispuut aanvaar het, hoewel die dispuut volgens wet is en hulle dit nie hoef te aanvaar nie,” sê Smith.

Daarna het Smith saam met die voorsitter, toe mnr. Chrisjan van den Berg, ‘n twee-uurlange

“Deur jou gulsigheid vernietig jy die natuurerfenis van jou nageslag”

Ek bly op die Vondeling-pad en moet gewetens-onthalwe intree vir die wilde diere wat nog die aan die resultate van die stryd – verdere skade aan die oorblywende Godgegewe vryheid geniet om tussen die plase en plotte rond te muur, sowel as hul onvermoë om beweeg. die gemors wat deur hulle self Vir my gesin was dit ‘n onververoorsaak is, na behore te herstel. diende voorreg om uit die kombuisDie ‘steekoog’ is nie eers gekoppel venster die bosbokke en duikers by nie en die pyp na die munisipale die waterbak onder in die vallei dop aansluiting lek nog.

As Om die verwondering in ons privaat kontrakteur sal hy nou self kinders se oë te sien as ons op die die gemors regmaak en die munisipaliteit het uiteindelik wat hulle van honde se blaf-roep twee- uur in die oggend die twee ystervarke, hul die begin af beoog het. ­ M. H. Senekal (Rietbokstraat, penne ritselend en gesprei soos ‘n Louis Trichardt) pou se stertvere, by die blombedding verras, is onvervangbaar. En toe Nicole uitvind hulle hou van soetpatats, plant sy die grootste patat in my groenterak onder die kraan buite die slaapkamervenster.

Sy moes nie lank wag nie!

Om koedoespore na die reën

Nou maak ons dit maar self reg

O

p 28 September het ek in ons plaaslike koerant ‘n skrywe gerig aan alle inwoners van Louis Trichardt.

Insiggewende foto’s, wat aangedui het wat die omvang van die rioolprobleem in my woonerf is, asook die skade wat aangerig was deur die munisipale werkers, is gepubliseer.

Daarna het ek ‘n maandlange hopelose stryd gevoer teen ‘n derdewêreldse optrede en dienslewering deur die tegniese afdeling. ‘n Skrywe in hierdie verband was ook aan die munisipale bestuurder gerig, waarop ek tot die publikasie hiervan nog geen terugvoering en/of ontvangserkenning ontvang het nie.

Die meegaande foto dui duidelik

tussen die talle ander bokspoortjies, elkeen ‘n ander grootte, te herken, was alledaags.

Uile, nagapies, hase, luislange en somtyds ‘n vlakvarkie was volop te sien. Ons het tot ‘n tierboskat eendag langs die rivier gekry! ‘n Paradys vir ‘n Karookind soos ek.

Maar 15 jaar later is die paradys leeg geskiet en gewurg! Wie die strikke stel of weekliks in die aand gaan jag, weet ek nie, maar JY HET VONDELING OPGEMORS. Ongelukkig kan jy waarskynlik nie besef wat jy aanvang nie.

Daar is sowat 12 apies oor en verlede week het een met ‘n gapende koeëlwond in haar rug in die koel stilte van ons stoor kom vrek.

Net omdat sy ‘n mielie op ‘n eenhektaar-landjie gepluk en so vyftig sent se skade aangerig het!

Onthou die aarde in al sy volheid behoort aan die Here. Hy sal ons gulsige dade nie ongestraf laat nie.

Jou kinders sal ook niks hê om vir hulle kinders te wys nie. ­ Jean Rudolph (Louis Trich­ ardt)

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

Moedeloosheid -

Psalm 73.

S

oms na ‘n geseënde stiltetyd of boodskap voel dit vir ‘n mens asof dit nie in jou lewe uitwerk nie, en jy word moedeloos.

Wat veroorsaak moedeloosheid? (v.

2-3) ‘n Mens raak moedeloos wanneer jy ophou om dankbaar te wees vir wat die Here in jou lewe beteken, en na die sukses van ander kyk.

Toe Elia hoor Isebel wil hom doodmaak, lees ons in 1 Kon. 19:3 en 4 “Elia het bang geword en ter wille van sy lewe gevlug ... Hy self het egter ‘n dagreis ver die woestyn in gegaan. Daar het hy onder ‘n besembos gaan sit en gewens hy gaan dood.”

Elia is moedeloos pas nadat daar vir hom twee geestelike oorwinnings was.

God het sy gebed vir reën beantwoord, en die oorwinning oor die profete van Baäl.

Nadat die Here Elia laat rus en eet het, sê die Here vir hom om terug te keer na sy roeping as profeet. Elia se stryd was nie verby nie, daar was nog werk om te doen. Wanneer jy mismoedig voel na ‘n geestelike oorwinning, doen wat nodig is om jou geestelik te versterk. Rus by Jesus (Matt. 11:28-30) want moedeloosheid lei dikwels tot depressie.

Hoe kan ‘n mens moedeloosheid hanteer? (v. 16 en 17).

1 Petrus 5:8-9: “Wees nugter, wees wakker! Julle vyand, die duiwel, loop rond soos ‘n brullende leeu, op soek na iemand om te verslind. Bly standvastig in die geloof en staan hom tee.”

Wanneer ‘n mens moedeloos is, is jy baie kwesbaar vir die duiwel se aanslae.

Verdiep jou in die Woord van God en bid saam met ander kinders van God, in sulke tye.

1 Kon. 19:10: “Elia antwoord toe: Ek het my met hart en siel gewy aan U saak, Here, Almagtige God.” Moedeloosheid moet nooit die sekerheid van God se liefde vir ons uitdoof nie.

Vertrou op God, maak Sy belofte joune. (v. 23-28). ­ 079 5168303

The second one says: “Ha! You think that’s fast! My father is a hunter. He can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet”.

The third one listens to the other two and shakes his head. He then says: “You two know nothing about fast. My father is a civil servant. He stops working at 4:30 and he is home by 3:45”!!

School news

A magical experience for young Mualusi drama practitioners from the Royal Shakespeare Company, learning drama techniques and how to teach Shakespeare without getting bogged down in language. The workshop culminated in a performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by the students and a workshop which the students ran for their teachers. After producing their own interpretation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the students were treated to a performance at the newly renovated Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

“It was unbelievable. The stage, the lights and the costumes … it was brilliant,” Mualusi said after watching the production.

Now that the conference is behind him, the hard work still lies ahead. Mualusi has the

task of passing on everything he has learnt through workshops, which he will design and facilitate for students within Limpopo.

He is also taking part in the classroom-connect project, where schools from around the globe form partnerships and send over cultural boxes containing information about their country, their school and their dreams. This aspect of the project aims to bridge the gap of distance between learners.

“This trip gave me so many things. It was my first time on a plane, my first time overseas, my first time on a train and the first time I saw a play in a theatre. It was magical. I have always known that I love drama, but now I know I want to be involved in theatre performance,” Mualusi said.

Musina students on their way to the USA Four students from Ankura Academy in Musina received international nominations at the recently held AASC (All Africa Student Convention), where approximately 1 850 students from all over Africa and Scandinavia competed in academics, sport and various art categories.

During the September school holidays, nine of Ankura’s senior students set off to the University of Bloemfontein. The students prepared themselves thoroughly for the prestigious AASC months before the time and hoped for the best. Great was their surprise when they eventually returned with no fewer than 10 USA nominations.

These exceptionally talented

students now have the opportunity to attend the international student convention in Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA, where they will be competing against students from around the world.

The students who received international nominations were Ashleigh Lamb (1st place Golden Lamb Award for memorization of the Book of John), Savannah Plaskitt (2nd place social studies project on abortion; 3rd place poetry writing; and 4th place oratory), Cara Gerner (2nd place poetry writing) and Karlien de Coning (1st place Israeli dance; 1st place oratory; 1st place poetry recitation; 1st place Golden Lamb Award for memorization of the Book of John; 3rd place expressive reading; and 3rd place

creative writing).

Other students who excelled were Deon Lamb (top 10 science project with scorpion collection 6th place), Chane Enslin (top 10 science project with her theoretical project on the Baobab - 10th place), Raphael Mudzamba (top ten science project with a gem stone collection from Musina 10th place), Heinrich Heitbrink (chess round 3) and Freddie de Wet, who participated in sport and photography.

These students will perform and display their projects, art and photography on 2 November at the Diamond Club.

All people interested in attending, please contact Ankura Academy at 0715195576 during office hours.

Street children receive high level attention An alarming increase in the number of unaccompanied minors in Louis Trichardt is to receive high-level national and international attention.

More than 600 children from neighbouring countries moved through the town during the past year, according to statistics revealed during a special meeting held on 20 October in the Makhado Municipal Council Hall. An estimated 50 of these destitute children remained in Louis Trichardt. Some of them are sheltered by local NGOs. Others are living and working on the streets in order to survive.

It was decided at the meeting that a special local forum for role players providing services to unaccompanied children in Louis Trichardt should be established as a matter of extreme urgency to improve and co-ordinate appropriate local caregiving.

National, provincial and local representatives of the Department of Social Development, the local SAPS Child Protection Unit, together with representatives of the existing Musina

forum, met with role players in Louis Trichardt to discuss the need for providing care for the increasing number of unaccompanied minors moving across the Limpopo border, through Musina to Louis Trichardt.

Representatives of the two forums will co-operate closely to monitor and manage the situation. Appropriate shelter and developmental assistance (schooling and skills training) will receive further attention, along with general basic caregiving.

Amongst the NGOs represented in the Musina forum are Lawyers for Human Rights, The United Nations Human Rights Commission, the Jesuit Refugee Services, Save The Children (UK), The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the Red Cross.

In discussing possible assistance strategies, it was noted that children filtering through to the streets of Louis Trichardt represent various categories.

Some cross the border to get groceries for their families and school money for themselves.

Some come in search of a parent or a family member. Some come because they perceive that they have nobody and nothing left in Zimbabwe. All of these are seriously at risk and, for mere survival purposes, may seek shelter on exactly the potentially most dangerous fringes of society (taxi ranks, public toilets, commercial rubbish bins and backalley hide-outs).

It was pointed out that some come straight through to Louis Trichardt to get away as far as possible from whatever drove them from their country. Some who initially came just to get croceries and money, come here after having been contaminated by the street subculture in Musina with which they initially linked up for survival purposes. In the meeting, it was agreed that coordinated professional intervention is necessary to avoid this contamination.

An eight-year-old boy, claiming to come from Harare in Zimbabwe, is among the latest arrivals of unaccompanied children in Louis Trichardt.

More than a thousand troop back to SA More than 1 200 out of 1 841 Zimbabweans deported from South Africa through Beit Bridge Border Post for failing to regularise their stay in the country during the documen­ tation exercise, had reportedly trooped back illegally.

Investigations by Limpopo Mirror reveal that since the deportations started on October 12, about two thirds of the deportees turned down any form of assistance from the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).

An official, who declined to be named, said most deportees were released from IOM reception and support centre after convincing administrators that they had enough money to travel to their rural homes.

“However, they find their way back to South Africa through illegal crossing points, while others do so under the nose of security personnel manning both sides of the South African and Zimbabwean borders,” said the official.

Since the deportations started, the Zimbabwean department of immigration at Beit Bridge Border Post has been receiving an average of 80 people a day on

less busy days. The deportations marked the end of an amnesty for illegal Zimbabwean immigrants staying in South Africa that ran from May 5, 2009 to July 31, 2011.

Over 275 000 applications from Zimbabweans wishing to regularise their stay in the country have been processed, while some others were turned down and some are pending. The first batch of 261 deportees was brought in from Johannesburg in four buses under the escort of Home Affairs officials.

The largest number of deportations so far was recorded on Tuesday last week, when 367 Zimbabweans were rounded up from Limpopo and Gauteng. The record high figure of Zimbabweans deported from South Africa was on February 13 in 2007, when 1 600 people were brought in a convoy of 16 luxury buses.

Zimbabwe’s assistant regional immigration manager in charge of compliance and enforcement, Mr Francis Mabika, said most people repatriated were from Gauteng province’s Lindelani Holding Centre. Gauteng deports people twice per week.

“We have received a total of 1 841 deportations from South Africa between October 12 and 28. The highest number we pro­ cessed was on Tuesday last week, when we had 367 people. A total of 285 came from Lindelani Holding Centre, while another 90 were from Limpopo Province.

“These people were rounded up (and) thoroughly vetted before being repatriated back to Zimbabwe. They are being handed over to us at the I OM reception centre in Beit Bridge, where we also vet them to verify their nationalities,” he said.

At the IOM centre, the deportees are offered accommodation, food, medication and transport to proceed to their respective homes, while those who opt to go home using their own means are released and most of them resort to crossing back to South Africa illegally through undesignated entry points along the Limpopo River.

The IOM reception centre has the capacity to accommodate 600 people at any given time. Mabika warned people against irregular migration as they risked their lives and prosecution.
