Regarding the re-opening of liquor stores on Monday, Frank said that trading was good. “But in a nutshell, I could have done three times better in volume if I had the stock. That is where the problem lies. Not being a big consortium and knowing that this closure was pending, there was no way I could have bought stock in.

Nog erger was egter die stories wat ná in ‘n groot mate reeds gedoen. die brand begin versprei het wat geïnsinueer “Ons is heeltemal platgeslaan deur die brand,” het dat die familie die huis self aan die brand het Nicolette gesê.

en haar seun in die proses om uit te trek, sodat die nuwe eienaar Maandag kon intrek.

Nicolette was Dinsdag erg ontsteld oor die gerug wat die rondte doen. Sy het oor-en-oor beklemtoon dat die polisie se ondersoek wys dat nie sy, haar seuns of haar ma met die brand verbind word nie. “Ek huil nog elke dag … ek kan dit nie glo nie … intussen is daar soveel stories!” het Nicolette gesê.

Wat die stories betref, het Nicolette gesê dat Louis Trichardt se mense haar die koue skouer gee sedert verlede Woensdag. “Nie een persoon in hierdie dorp wil my help nie. Ek sit in limbo ... ek meen, ek het 40 jaar se lewe daar verloor,” het Nicolette gesê. Sy bly tans tydelik by mense, omdat sy nie genoeg geld het om ‘n ander blyplek te bekostig nie. “Ek wag vir die versekering om te hoor of hulle my kan help of nie,” het Nicolette gesê. Die huis is in haar en haar oorlede broer, Dries, se naam. Haar ma het tekenregte namens haar broer totdat Dries se boedel afgehandel is, het Nicolette gesê.

“Die mense moet asseblief ophou met hulle stories ... Dinge is alreeds vir my baie moeilik soos dit is. Die mense loop net voort met hulle stories asof hulle die deskundiges is!” het Nico­ lette gesê. Sy het gesê sy is veral bekommerd oor hoe mense se stories die versekeringseis sal benadeel. “Sou hierdie stories by hulle [die versekeraars] uitkom, waar los dit my?” het Nicolette gesê. Volgens Nicolette is die mense van Louis Trichardt haar glad nie goedgesind nie. “Hoekom, weet ek nie. Ja, ek is die ouer van twee stout seuns, maar ek wil ook net leef en

hulle [die mense] laat my glad nie toe nie. Waar hulle my kan afkraak, doen hulle dit. Ek het nie gevra dat dit [die brand] moet gebeur nie. Nog voor die brand was dit vir my moeilik om reg te kom in hierdie dorp, en nou nog hierdie ding!” het Nicolette gesê.

Nicolette het die koerant versoek om pertinent te noem dat hulle nie finansieel in die moeilikheid is nie. “Dit gaan net moeilik, soos dit met baie ander mense gaan,” het sy gesê. Sy het haar ook uitgespreek oor gerugte dat die familie by dwelms betrokke is. “Dwelms is daar nie by ons nie. Ek laat my kinders elke nou en dan toets, omdat die dorp vol is van dwelms. Ek hou nie daarvan nie en alhoewel mense dink ons is met dwelms deurmekaar, ons is nie,” het Nicolette gesê.

Volgens Nicolette moet inwoners hulle eerder probeer bystaan in die familie se tyd van nood.

“Nie ek of Donovan het ‘n enkele stuk klere oor nie. Alles het verbrand in daardie vuur. Mense kan eerder vir my sê: ‘Hoor hier, ons is verskriklik jammer oor wat met julle gebeur het, hier is vir jou kind ‘n trui.’ Dit het ons nie eers nie, maar hulle is gou om stories te loop en versprei. Vir wat?” wou Nicolette weet.

Nicolette het ter afsluiting mense uitge­ nooi om net vir ‘n wyle in haar skoene te staan.

“Mense moet net twee weke in my skoene kom loop. Ek wil kyk hoeveel van hulle hang aan ‘n boom, want ek glo nie enige iemand kan deurgaan wat ek deesdae deurgaan nie,” het sy gesê.

Sy het teen Dinsdag hierdie week nog gewag op terugvoer van die versekeraars.

“You might not like cats, but please don’t harm them”

By Andries van Zyl The past week has been a difficult and traumatic one for members of Project TNR (TrapNeuterReturn) in Louis Trichardt.

Project TNR consists of people who volunteer their time and money for the protection of feral cats. The past week, however, saw three of these cats being poisoned and another one shot.

“People must realize that cats are internationally protected. They are sentient beings with feelings. It is not okay to harm or poison them,” said local TNR member Marinda van der Walt.

She was still visibly upset, following the news that the longhaired tortoiseshell cat they found poisoned on Monday had died on Tuesday evening, despite all attempts to save it.

Marinda told the Zoutpansberger that a member of the public had informed them that

a number of cats had been found, possibly poisoned, on Monday. “When we went to the premises, we found one cat dead. We also found the tortoiseshell cat, which was barely clinging to life,” said Marinda. This cat was rushed to Blouberg Animal Clinic for help. Later, a third cat was found dead not far from where the first one had been found.

Marinda said that an autopsy of the first cat had confirmed that it had been poisoned. “At this stage, we cannot say where the cats were found, as the matter is subject to an investigation,” said Marinda.

Residents might also remember the story about the feral cat named Benjamin who was found shot with possibly a pellet gun on 25 April around Kock Street. Fortunately, local vets and members of Project TNR were able to remove the projectile and save Benjamin. “Benjamin is doing well,” said Marina. Unfortunately, added Marinda, they found that another of their feral cats had been shot the past week, this time on a factory’s premises in the industrial area. “The cat was shot in the chest, possibly with a pellet gun. It was also shot in one of its rear legs with what looks like a bigger calibre projectile,” said Marinda. This wounded cat was also taken in for medical treatment at Blouberg Animal Clinic.

Marinda has once again urged members of the public to refrain from harming or killings cats.

“I do not expect you to like cats. All I ask is that you respect a life. These cats are on the streets because people failed to take care of their household cats by either not sterilising or neutering their cats. So please, although you might not like them, do not harm them,” pleaded Marinda. She added that cats also played an important role in the ecosystem, especially regarding the control of vermin such as rats and mice, which spread disease.

Marinda concluded that every cat deserved to be treated with compassion and care, whether it was owned or unowned. “Please read and sign the International Declaration of Responsibilities to Cats to show your support,” said Marinda.

The declaration can be found via a link on their Facebook page: Project TNR Louis Trichardt.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het die hoofberig op die Zoutpansberger se voorblad van 9 Junie 1995 gehandel oor ‘n jong man van Messina, mnr. Gary Olàh (24), wat vermis geraak het.

Olàh, die bestuurder van die destydse KFC-agentskap op die grensdorp, is deur ‘n vriend as vermis aangemeld. Olàh is op 31 Mei van daardie jaar laas deur die vriend gesien, nadat hy ‘n kamera geleen het om natuurfoto’s in die koppie net buite Messina te neem. Soektogte in die bosse in en om Messina, asook die koppie, het niks opgelewer nie. Olàh was nie die enigste persoon wat vermis geraak het nie. Op die voorblad is ook berig van ‘n 16-jarige meisie, Lerato Moshapho van die plaas Ratho, wat vermis geraak het nadat sy Checkers op Louis Trichardt besoek het op 1 Junie.

In ander voorbladnuus, op ‘n meer positiewe noot, is berig van plaaslike gholfspeler Rudi Burger. Hy het aan die Wêreld Eenarm Gholfkompetisie in Brittanje gaan deelneem as deel van die Suid-Afrikaanse Presidentspan. Die span het ook weggestap met die gesogte Presidentsprys. Ook op sportgebied het Louis Trichardt die voorafgaande naweek weer opgetree as gasheer van die jaarlikse Kremetart Fietswedren, met Edwin Ruthven van Pretoria wat skoonskip gemaak het deur al vier die wedren se skofte te wen. Louis Trichardt sou eerskomende Saterdag, 6 Junie, gasheer gespeel het vir die 30ste Kremetart Fietswedren, maar die

wedren moes ween die Covid-19 pandemie afgestel word.

Nog iets wat die afgelope paar jaar kortkort in die nuus is, is pogings om Louis Trichardt se Voëlpark te koop vir ontwikkeling. In die Zoutpansberger van 25 jaar gelede is berig oor ‘n aanbod om die park te koop vir die ontwikkeling van ‘n inkopiesentrum. Pick n Pay se naam is onder meer genoem as huurder. Die destydse Oorgangsraad het egter die ontwikkeling afgekeur, ná klagte uit omgewingsgeledere dat die ontwikkeling die dorp se “groen gordel” sou beskadig.

woonlik - ongeag of iemand die diens bygewoon het of nie.”

Ds. Wynand van der Westhuizen van die Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk sê dat die kerk­ raad nog in die proses is om alles in plek te kry. Hulle sal definitief Sondag met eredienste begin en bywoning word per wyksindeling gedoen. Hulle beveel aan dat siek en ouer gemeentelede liewer nie dienste bywoon nie.

“Die Hervormde Kerk Zoutpansberg, lid van die Geloofsbond van Hervormde gemeentes, het besluit om te wag met die hou van ere­ dienste in die kerkgebou tot Vlak 2 van inper­ king. Ter wille van ons baie bejaarde lidmate en lidmate met onderliggende siektetoestande, gaan ons eers voort met die aanstuur van preke op WhatsApp. Ons dra mekaar op aan ons Hemelse Vader en bid dat ons weer spoedig as gemeenskap van ge­lowiges sal kan aanbid,” aldus ds. Ronel Eckard.

Pastoor Sampie van Niekerk van die Agapé Gemeente sê dat hulle nog onseker is hoe hulle dit gaan doen. Hulle maak nou eers ‘n opname van wie bereid is om dienste by te woon. Dit sal bepaal hoeveel dienste plaasvind en wanneer.

Uitsendings sal voortgaan vir diegene wat nie bywoon nie. Geen baba-, peuter- of kinderbe­ diening sal plaasvind nie. Aanpassings sal gemaak word soos wat sake duideliker word.

Bejaardes en mense met sekondêre gesondheidsprobleme, asook dié met enige simptome, word sterk aangedraai om eerder tuis in te skakel vir die dienste. Higiëne-vereistes sal streng toegepas word!

Ds Johan Marais van die Baptiste Kerk sê: “Ons gaan nie met dienste begin nie, aangesien ons ‘n tweetalige gemeente is en daar nie tyd tussen die twee dienste is om weer die gebou te ontsmet nie. Ons wag maar tot alles weer normaal is en ons kan sing en nagmaal kan gebruik. Intussen neem ons die boodskappe op video op en plaas dit op die gemeente se Facebook-blad.”

Roger de Troch van die Sewendedag-Adventiste sê dat die kanse goed is dat hulle vir eers die kerk gaan toe hou. De Troch is van mening dat die vereistes verregaande, onredelik en byna onbekostigbaar is. “Verbeel jou, om die gebou wat al 10 weke toe staan te ontsmet ... teen wat?” Indien ontsmetting wel gedoen word, moet die diens professioneel gedoen word ten einde ‘n sertifikaat te bekom. Om ‘n termo­ meter aan te koop, kos R1 000 ekstra. Hulle gaan dus voort met aanlyn-dienste.

Veritas Gemeente het weer eredienste Son-

dae om 09:00, met ingang 7 Junie. “Ons sal hou by die regeringsvoorskrifte van minder as 50 mense, met behoorlike afstand tussen almal.

Lidmate moet maskers dra en ons sal siftings doen. Die diens sal nie langer as ‘n uur duur nie. Om 11:30 sal ons voortgaan met die Facebook-stroomdiens,” sê Dr. Philip Venter.

Pastoor Leonie Meyfarth van die AGS Charisma noem dat hulle ‘n program het waarop mense registreer om die dienste by te woon om getalle te kontroleer. Hulle is nog besig om die moontlikheid te ondersoek dat die diens “uitgesaai” kan word. Mense kan dan in hulle motors voor die kerk parkeer en só daarna luister. Dit is egter nog in proses. Hulle sal steeds voorgaan om die diens op YouTube te plaas vir diegene wat nie wil uitgaan na die diens toe nie.

Ds. Innes Nagel van die Gereformeerde Kerk deel mee dat hulle bede is dat “ons almal in hierdie tyd ons nuwe bewegingsmoontlikhede sal koester en is dankbaar dat ons gemeentes weer met beperkte byeenkomste in die geboue en beperkte pastorale werk mag begin.” Streng voorwaardes geld waaraan voldoen moet word ten opsigte van die handhawing van sosiale afstand en ontsmetting. Vanaf eerskomende Sondag word twee oggenddienste, om 08:30 en 10:00, gehou.

Die 08:30 erediens word lewendig opgeneem en op die gemeente se Youtube-kanaal gelaai. ‘n Maksimum van 50 persone – wat ampsdraers insluit – word toegelaat. Lidmate wat ere­dienste wil bywoon moet voor Donderdae 12:00 hul plek by die Kerkkantoor bespreek, sodat die nodige registers en vraelyste opgestel kan word. Slegs persone met gesigsmaskers sal toegelaat word en elke persoon se temperatuur sal geneem word. As dit bo 37,5º C is, sal die persoon versoek word om huis toe te gaan.

Moenie jou plig as ouer in hierdie tyd versaak nie Kinderwelsyn

Me. Friede Meissenheimer, senior maatskaplike werker by die SAVF in Louis Trichardt.

Foto verskaf.

Met Kinderbeskermingsweek wat hierdie week plaasvind, het me. Friede Meissenheimer, senior maatskaplike werker van die Suid-Afrikaanse Vrouefederasie (SAVF) in Louis Trichardt, ouers bietjie raad gegee oor hoe om hulle kinders tydens die grendeltydperk te hanteer.

Die Covid-19 pandemie veroorsaak tans wêreldwyd baie angs en onsekerheid in die samelewing. Meissenheimer het gesê dat om versigtig te wees, maar nie onnodig paniek te saai nie, belangrik is. “Dit is noodsaaklik om te onthou dat kinders na volwassenes kyk vir leiding oor hoe om op stresvolle situasies te reageer. As ouers buitensporig bekommerd is, lei dit tot verhoogde angsvlakke by kinders. Kinders het feitelike, dog ouderdomstoepaslike, inligting nodig oor die potensiële erns van die situasie, asook konkrete feite oor hoe om te voorkom dat die siekte versprei,” het Meissenheimer gesê.

Sy het spesifieke riglyne gegee oor hoe ouers hul kinders kan bystaan in hierdie moeilike tyd­perk. Eerstens, het sy gesê, is dit belangrik om kalm en gerusstellend te bly. “Kinders sal op jou verbale en nie-verbale reaksies reageer.

Jou reaksies oor CovidD-19 kan jou kinders se angs verminder of vermeerder. Probeer jou kind verseker dat hulle en hul familie gesond is (indien dit wel die geval is) en herinner hulle daaraan dat u as ouer of versorger daar is om hulle veilig te jou. Laat jou kinders toe om hulle gevoelens uit te druk, en help hulle om dit in perspektief te

sien,” het Meissenheimer gesê.

Volgens Meissenheimer is dit belangrik dat ouers hulself “beskikbaar” maak vir hulle kinders. “In hierdie tye het kinders ekstra aandag en emosionele versorging nodig. Wees beskikbaar om te luister na dit wat hulle op die hart het. Dit is belangrik dat jou kind weet dat daar altyd iemand sal wees om na hulle te luister.

Sê vir jou kind jy is lief vir hom/haar, en vertroetel hulle baie,” het Meissenheimer bygevoeg.

Nou is ook nie ‘n goeie tyd om mense te begin blameer vir dinge nie. “Wanneer die spanning hoog loop, probeer ons graag iemand blameer.

Moenie sekere groepe stereotipeer of blameer vir die ontstaan van die virus nie en vermy negatiewe opmerkings voor jou kinders,” het Meissenheimer aanbeveel.

Met die Internet wat al meer toeganklik is vir feitlik almal, is die monitor van kinders se sosiale media en televisie blootstelling belangrik.

“Monitor die inligting waartoe jou kind toegang het en probeer vermy om nuus wat moontlik ontstellend kan wees in hulle teenwoordigheid te kyk. Praat met jou kind oor fopnuus wat die rondte doen en probeer om gesprekke op feite te baseer. Dit sal ook help om angs te verminder,” het Meissenheimer gesê en bygevoeg dat ouers moet seker maak dat die inligting waaraan hul kind blootgestel word, ouderdomstoepaslik is.

“Inligting wat bo die kind se kognitiewe ontwikkelingsvlak is, kan lei tot angstigheid. Probeer om jou kind se aandag af te lei met ander aktiwiteite en speletjies,” het Meissenheimer gesê.

Volgens Meissenheimer is die handhaaf van ‘n

normale daaglikse roetine nou van groot belang.

Ouers moet ook eerlik en akkuraat met hulle kinders wees. “Wanneer kinders nie feitelike inligting het nie, kan hulle verbeelding op hol gaan, en hulle kan die hele situasie ervaar as erger as wat dit is. Moenie hulle bekommernisse ignoreer nie, maar noem dat slegs ‘n klein persentasie persone in ons land sover die virus opgedoen het. Verduidelik hoe die virus versprei, en die stappe wat ons kan neem om besmetting te voorkom. Dit kan vir kinders ‘n gevoel van beheer oor die situasie gee,” het Meissenheimer gesê.

Wat stappe betref om die verspreiding van die virus te voorkom, het Meissenheimer gesê is die hersien van basiese higiëne en leefstylstappe baie belangrik.

“Was gereeld hande vir ten minste 20 sekondes – laat hulle Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star sing terwyl hulle was. Bedek jou neus en mond as jy hoes met ‘n elmboog of snesie wat dadelik weggegooi word. Vermy nabye kontak met persone wat nie deel is van jou huishouding nie.

Help jou kind om gesond te eet, gereeld aktief te wees en om genoeg te slaap. Dit help om die immuunstelsel te versterk,” was Meissenheimer se raad.

Laastens het Meissenheimer ouers aanbeveel om veranderinge met hulle kinders te bespreek.

“Skole gaan geleidelik oopmaak en die dra van maskers sal verpligtend wees. Sosiale afstand sal gehandhaaf moet word en daar sal geen buitemuurse aktiwiteite wees nie,” het Meissenheimer gesê.

If the offence is of a serious nature, the person may be detained, subject thereto that he or she must be brought before a court as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 48 hours after the arrest. If the offence is less serious, the community service centre commander or the senior member of the SAPS in charge must consider the release of a person (in consultation with the investigating officer). A person can also be given the option to pay an admission-of-guilt fine and be released. This means that the person will not have to appear in court, but by paying the admission-of-guilt fine, the person is regarded as having been convicted in court on the charge and the person will have a criminal record.

The police statement also warns the public “to take note that the guidelines regarding enforcement of the State of Disaster Regulations allows that a law-enforcement officer may forcibly confine the body of the arrested person if the person does not Tel: (015) 519 3000 Fax: (015) 516 1195 Private Bag X2596 Makhado 0920 submit to custody (in accordance with SecAd designed by Zoutnet Publishers tion 39 of the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977).

advice, guide and lead the community, in order to ensure that lives are saved. Officers are further expected to encourage and sensitise members of the public to adhere to social distancing.

“Even though social distancing is currently not an offence and it cannot therefore be enforced, law-enforcement agencies must ensure that high visibility is maintained around malls, shopping centres and other areas and that the public is informed about compliance…” the statement reads.

Regarding the issue of arrest, the national commissioner of the SAPS, General KJ Sitole, issued a directive on 20 May to all police members clarifying under which circumstances an arrest may be affected. “As a general rule, the object of an arrest is to secure the attendance of a person at his or her trial. A member may under no circumstances arrest a person in order to punish, scare or harass such person or to teach him or her a lesson,” the directive states. It further states that a member of the police must ensure that a particular offence exists in law before arresting a person for the commission of an offence. “Where certain conduct has not been criminalized (such as the wearing of masks or social distancing) members must sensitise ‘transgressors’ that their conduct is endangering their health and that of others. Members must continuously monitor if certain conduct constitutes an offence as the Regulations often change,” stated the directive.

The directive also points out that, although Section 39(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act allows for police to “forcibly confine” the body of a person in the process of arresting them, this is only permissible if the person does not submit to custody.

“Later, in court, a member may be required to explain the circumstances that were present, which required him or her to ‘forcibly confine’ the body of the person that he or she was arresting,” the directive states and goes on to warn “a member who uses force for any other purpose (such as to punish or teach a person a lesson), may himself or herself be guilty of an offence, such as assault, assault GBH, attempted murder, etc.” Interestingly enough, the directive also warns members of the police not to use “private equipment or equipment not issued by the SAPS, such as a ‘sjambok’, etc.”

That the SAPS view the “illegal” action by members as serious is evident. “A failure to comply with these instructions must be regarded as serious misconduct and members and commanders who refuse to comply with these instructions must be held personally liable for any compensation that the Service is ordered to pay as a result thereof. Losses suffered by the SAPS as a result of a failure to comply with these instructions by an employee will in terms of the National Instruction 25 of 2019 (Management of Civil Claims in the South African Police Service) be recovered from that employee,” the directive warns.

Spesiale skoonmaakmiddels vir salonne moet gebruik word, asook weggooibare handdoeke en oorjassies. Die kostes hieraan verbonde is astronomies. As ‘n kliënt opstaan, moet alles weer skoongemaak word. Die stoel, die toonbank, die vloer, alles. ‘n Tydperk van 15 minute vóór en 15 minute ná afsprake word aanbeveel vir al hierdie prosesse. Haarkappers sal nie weer afsprake kan reël soos vantevore nie.

Verlede week was haarkappers angstig om te hoor van die uitslag van ‘n dringende Hooggeregshof-aansoek. Een aspek staan egter uit: in salonne kan sosiale distansiëring nie gehandhaaf word nie. “‘n Haarkapper werk die hele tyd óm ‘n persoon se gesig,” sê Benadé.

Benadé help haar werknemers waar sy kan, maar sulke hulp is nie onbepaald volhoubaar nie. Hierdie is ‘n baie stresvolle tyd. Haarkappers is in die kalklig en sy voorsien baie logistieke uitdagings wanneer hulle weer oopmaak.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe

“Hy wat in My glo, soos die Skrif sê: strome van lewende water sal uit sy binneste vloei”.

Johannes 7:38.

D

ie uitwerking van die Heilige Gees in jou lewe moet wees soos ‘n rivier wat in vloed is. Kom ons let op drie vername kenmerke van so ‘n rivier.

Eerstens, riviere in vloed is altyd vars. Die vloed spoel alles skoon. Enige besoedeling en alle giftige en skadelike elemente word weggevoer, want sy voedingsbronne is vars, rein voorraad uit die wolke en die helder bergstrome. So ook die water wat Jesus aan die Samaritaanse vrou beloof het, lewende water en die waters van die heel laaste rivier waarvan die Bybel in Openbaring 22:1 praat, is helder soos kristal, daar is egter ‘n noodsaaklike voortdurende dors na geregtigheid nodig wat jou digby die “Bron” sal hou. Die Here Jesus waarborg dat jy dan versadig sal bly.

Tweedens, riviere in vloed is altyd vol.

Veral God s’n, want Psalm 65:10 verseker “die stroom van God is vol water”. Daar waar die Heilige Gees elke oomblik uit God se volheid en deur sy Woord jou siel met nuwe groeikrag en lewensvreugde in Christus verkwik.

Derdens, riviere in vloed is altyd vry. Riviere in vloed word nie beperk nie. Hulle breek oor hulle walle en is die lewensaar vir almal - mense, diere, voëls en alles wat lewe. Hoe wonderlik goed is God. Hy openbaar en skenk aan ons wat ons geestelik paslik en prakties kan toepas. Die belofte van sy strome beteken vir ons so baie, want sy kruisdood het dit vir elke kind van Hom gewaarborg.

Triegie-projek bring vir talle hoop

bb

usiness

Bergcare in Louis Trichardt het hul opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor me. Elzabé Stewart en Laerskool Louis Trichardt se 2020 leiers vir die Jars of Hope wat hulle geskenk het. Die Jars of Hope projek behels koffiebottels waarin rys, sopmengsel, lensies, vleisaftrekselblokkie en soppoeier is. Mens kook dit met twee-en-‘n-half liter water en die mengsel is genoeg om vier mense kos te gee. “Dankie vir die leiers wat so hard gewerk het by die huis. Dit is regtig baie oorspronklik en ‘n pragtige inisiatief,” het me. Mariana Luus, bestuurder van Bergcare, gesê. Bergcare deel elke tweede Woensdag deernispakkies uit vir mense in nood. Vanaf die begin van die grendeltydperk deel hulle ook elke Dinsdag en Vrydag kospakkies uit vir mense wat nou sonder inkomste sit en tans bereik hierdie pakkies sowat 1 000 mense. Die Jars of Hope sal saam met die pakkies versprei word. “Bergcare wil ook graag die gemeenskap bedank vir al die donasies wat ons ontvang, asook al die vrywilligers wat kom help om die pakkies te pak. Ons bedank ook ons Hemelse Vader wat voorsien vir hierdie pakkies,” het Mariana gesê. Foto’s verskaf.
