die toneel,” het Jimmy gesê. Volgens Jimmy het hulle net voor 13:00 die oproep gekry dat iets gebeur het met Quintin en dat hulle sukkel om hom by te kry. Minute later was hy en Suzette in die kar op pad Polokwane toe. “Toe ons deur die tolhek gaan, het Ruan se pa ons gebel en gesê ons moenie jaag nie. Ek het besef hy gaan vir my een van twee dinge sê … of dat hulle my seun bygekry het of dat hy dood is,” het Jimmy gesê. Laasgenoemde was egter die hartseer nuus wat Jimmy en Suzette nie wou hoor nie. Hulle seun is dood vanweë ‘n massiewe hartaanval. “Maar ek het net aanhou jaag, met die hoop dat ek dalk iets vir my kind sou kon doen. Ek het vir hulle op die foon gevra: Moenie ophou nie! Hou net aan met die hartmassering!” het Jimmy gesê. Die egpaar kon egter niks vir hulle seun doen met hul aankoms op die toneel nie. Jimmy en Suzette onthou hul seun as ‘n lewenslustige en liefdevolle mens. “Hy het nooit in sy lewe sy hand gelig vir enige iemand nie – nooit in sy hele lewe het hy iemand geslaan of baklei nie. Hy sou eerder dinge probeer uitpraat,” het Jimmy gesê.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe “Die liefde is lankmoedig en vriendelik” 1 Korintiërs 13:4.

n bogenoemde hoofstuk, van verse drie tot sewe, word 10 uitstaande kenmerke van die LIEFDE beklemtoon: As dit ly is dit lankmoedig en vriendelik; as dit heers, het jaloesie en naywer geen plek nie; as dit buig, is dit nie grootpraterig nie; as dit optree, handel dit nie onwelvoeglik of selfsugtig nie; as dit seerkry, reageer dit nie met verbittering nie; as dit onreg verwerk, reken dit die kwaad nie toe nie; as dit beoordeel, gaan dit oor geregtigheid en waarheid; as dit moet vertrou, is geloof vir die liefde maklik, want hy ken die Een wat hy liefhet; as dit rondkyk, is dit vol hoop, want dit kyk altyd ook op, en as dit aan die skurwe kant blootgestel word, verdra dit. Liefde is deeglik beproef. In die eerste drie van sewe keer in die sendbrief aan die Efesiërs, wanneer Paulus in die brief van “geestelike ondervinding” spreek, ontdek ons God se groot liefde (2:4); sy gewortelde en gegronde liefde (3:17) en sy grenslose liefde waarvan ons die breedte, lengte, diepte en hoogte moet leer ken as ons dit wil ondervind. Ná geestelike ondervinding volg dan die proses van praktiese ervaring, wat viervoudig deur ons moet uitwerk: om in liefde die waarheid te spreek (4:15,16); in liefde die wandel te vertoon (4:32; 5:1) en om met liefde die woonplek vir God in sy volheid reg te maak (5:25,33). Die kwaliteit van God se liefde word deur die Heilige Gees in ons harte uitgestort; gebruik dit tot eer van die Here. - Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

An interesting graph in the report shows that the excess deaths in Limpopo follow the trend of Covid-19 infections.

It’s quiet, but don’t let your masks down By Anton van Zyl Amidst speculation that a third wave of Covid-19 infections is about to hit the country, the Vhembe District has been very quiet. At the start of the week, the official figures indicated that 23 active coronavirus cases could be found in the region, with a total death toll of 462. The latest figures are very different from mid-January this year, when the second wave of infections peaked. On 13 January, the official figure for active infections in the Vhembe District stood at 2 147. Most of these were in the Thulamela District (842), with Makhado not far behind on 770. At that stage, the official Covid-19 death toll was 105. The second wave’s lethal remnants were seen in the following months, with the death toll rising rapidly. Most of the fatalities were in the Makhado municipal area (213), with Thulamela (163) not far behind. In the Collins Chabane Municipality, 67 Covid-19 deaths were recorded and in Musina 19 people died after being infected. The cumulative number of infections in Vhembe stood at 11 698 on 3 May.

a cumulative total of nearly 156 000 excess deaths from natural causes of persons 1+ years of age of which about 73 000 occurred in 2021 (since 3 Jan 2021),” says the SAMRC in a report published last week. The report was compiled in conjunction with the University of Cape Town’s Centre for Actuarial Research. Even if the official figure of just more than 54 000 Covid-19 deaths is taken into account, that means more than 100 000 more people died than what would be considered “normal”.

dicate that 63 680 people contracted the disease, with a death toll of 2 272. Which means that, in this province, 12 212 more people died than what could reasonably be anticipated. In real terms, this means the province has “lost” an average-sized town. If the excess deaths are calculated as a percentage of the population, Limpopo does not look particularly good. It amounts to 245 deaths per 100 000, which places us in the fifth spot. The worst performer is the Eastern Cape (511/100 000), with Kwazulu-Natal (330/100 The situation in Limpopo 000) second. Whether the excess deaths can Even though the Limpopo Province is not all be attributed to Covid-19 is debatable and among the top three as far as excess deaths are uncertain. What is worrying, however, is that the concerned, the number is alarmingly high. The trends and the graphs show clearly that excess past year, 14 484 more people died than what the deaths peak when Covid-19 infections peak. figures predicted. The latest available figures in-

But can the figures be trusted? Some conspiracy theorists still argue that Covid-19 is nothing more than a scare tactic employed by governments worldwide to ensure that citizens remain obedient. They reckon the coronavirus is nothing more than a severe flu. The problem that the conspiracy theorists battle to deal with is the steep rise in the death toll in the country the past year. If anything, the figures reported of people dying indicate that Covid-19 deaths are vastly underreported. Unlike most sicknesses, deaths must be reported, and concealing a death is a crime. These figures are recorded on the National Population Register and are used by government departments and other institutions to do predictions and planning. Institutions such as the SA Medical Research Council (SAMRC) use the figures collected over many years predict to fairly accurately how many people are expected to die every month and even in a specific week. The worrying part, however, is that many more people died the past year than was expected. “Since 3 May 2020, there has been

The latest available statistics indicate that the Vhembe region is in a “quiet” period, with very few active Covid-19 cases.

Dood laat gemeenskap totaal verslae (Vervolg van p.1) “Quintin was ‘n liefdevolle kind. Hy het nooit ‘n verkeerde woord vir iemand gehad nie en kon met enige iemand praat, Hy het altyd ‘n glimlag op sy gesig gehad,” voeg Suzette by. Huldeblyke aan Quintin het kort ná die nuus van sy dood van oral ingestroom op sosiale media. Dit het as stille bewys gedien van hoe bemind hierdie jong man van Louis Trichardt was as leier, vriend en sakeman. “Alles wat hy gedoen het en alles wat hy aangepak het was net ‘n sukses,” het Suzette gesê. “Hy was ‘n baie opregte en gelowige mens gewees wat sy Christenskap openlik uitgeleef het. Hy het nooit kwaad gepraat van enige iemand nie en het dit gehaat dat mense oor iemand anders kwaad praat,” het Jimmy gesê. Een van Quintin se vriende wat hulde aan hom gebring het was Larissa Venter wat hoofmeisie by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt was toe hy hoofseun was. Sy skryf op haar Facebook-profiel dat die wêreld waarlik ‘n juweel van ‘n mens

verloor het. Haar inskrywing in Engels lees: “It’s hard to understand that such a strong, talented, brilliant individual passed away at the age of 27. Many knew him and celebrated him, and many of you do not know of him. I want to honour him by writing this tribute about a phenomenal young man, Quintin Moodie. Quintin became my friend when we were in Grade 5, and we would later serve as head leaders in matric at Hoërskool Louis Trichardt. He was a winner. He was an incredible rugby player, athlete, with the discipline and perseverance that few have ever seen. He was a huge part of my childhood, a wonderful part - and he has been taken too soon. Quintin was the reason I survived maths. He patiently allowed me to sit with him as he tried to explain what to do, knowing I would not be able to remember a thing, and so he would fill in most of the answers to save me from total failure. Quintin was a leader and was the most remarkable head

boy. So many looked up to him. And they still do. I certainly still do, and always will. Quintin was loved by everyone. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. He was a top academic achiever, awarded the leadership trophy when we were in matric, a fantastic orator, and above all, a beautiful person with a heart of gold. Pure gold. I have no doubt his legacy will live on for a long time. Heaven gained another angel … How lucky the heavens are, now that you’re there...” Wyle Quintin word eerskomende Vrydag, 7 Mei, om 11:00 vanuit die Ou Apostoliese-gemeente in Kroghstraat begrawe. Hy word oorleef deur sy ouers en broer Duncan. Bywoning van die diens is onderhewig aan Covid-19 regulasies. Die familie het hulle opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor die hele gemeenskap. “Ons wil graag almal bedank. Ons het soveel boodskappe en besoek ontvang en ons kan nie uitsonder nie,” het Jimmy en Suzette gesê.

Laaste van groep jong mense kry uiteindelik borg Deur Andries van Zyl Borg is uiteindelik op 29 April toegestaan aan die oorblywende groep jongmense van Louis Trichardt wat op 7 April op ‘n reeks klagte aangekeer is ná klopjagte by twee wonings in Louis Trichardt. Hulle was sedert hulle arrestasie in aanhouding gewees. Verskeie vermoedelik gesteelde goedere is tydens die klopjagte deur die polisie gevind, wat gelei het tot die arrestasie van die ses aanvanklike verdagtes. Hulle is die 27-jarige Richard Petrus Jacobus (Koos) Duvenhage, 25-jarige Neil Duvenhage, 30-jarige Zandroux Hibbert, 29-jarige Christine Labuschagne, 20-jarige Marvelique van der Merwe, asook die 26-jarige Wonder Jere. Die ses verdagtes het almal Vrydag, 9 April, in die hof op Louis Trichardt verskyn. Die twee Duvenhages, Hibbert, Labuschagne en Jere het almal verskyn op klagte van inbraak by beide wonings en besighede, een klag van onwettige

jag wat verband hou met die skiet van ‘n bees en twee klagte van die besit van vermoedelik gesteelde goedere. Al vyf van hulle is borg geweier weens ander uitstaande klagte teen van hulle. Hul borgaansoek is uitgestel tot Vrydag, 16 April. Van der Merwe is op haar beurt aangekla van die besit van ‘n onwettige vuurwapen. Sy is die enigste beskuldigde wat op 9 April borg van R1 500 toegestaan is en haar saak is uitgestel tot 3 Mei. Tydens haar hofverskyning Maandag is haar saak weer uitgestel, die keer tot 14 Junie vir verdere ondersoek. Haar saak is van die ander geskei, omdat sy nie tans met enige van die ander oortredings verbind kan word nie. Die twee Duvenhages, Hibbert, Labuschagne en Jere se borgaansoek is op 16 April uitgestel na Maandag, 19 April. Hulle borgaansoek is egter weereens uitgestel na Woensdag, 21 April. Weer kon hulle nie hul borgaansoek bring nie, weens ‘n kragonderbreking wat die landdroskantore in donkerte gehul het. Die vyf se saak is daarna

Police arrest three who abduct woman The Makhado police arrested three suspects at Makhado Crossing in Louis Trichardt on Monday on charges ranging from impersonating a police officer to robbery. According to a police report, a 62-year-old woman was abducted in Mokopane while on her way to collect her SASSA grant at around 08:00. On her way there, she was confronted by two African males who pretended to be police officers from the Mokopane SAPS. The two males forced the elderly woman back into her own vehicle and instructed her

to drive to her residential property to collect her bank cards. Back at her home, the woman got her handbag, and she was driven back to Mokopane. “But to her surprise, she saw the driver passing Polokwane, taking the N1 road to Louis Trichardt. The victim then asked the driver where they were going and she was told that they were going to the police headquarters,” states the police report. When the suspects arrived in Louis Trichardt with the woman, one of the men took her cellphone while the other

two men ordered the woman to go into a bank at Makhado Crossing and withdraw R60 000 from her account. “The victim went inside the bank and she explained everything to the person who was supposed to assist her. That person then informed the police, who immediately rushed to the bank and managed to arrest three suspects,” states the report. At the time of our going to press, the police were still busy with their investigation. Whether the suspects had appeared in court already was unclear.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se eerste tennisspanne het uitstekend presteer tydens die streeksliga wat op 21 April in Polokwane beslis is. Die skool se seunspan het bestaan uit Christiaan Pretorius, Armand Roets, Hanco Kok en Johan Pretorius. Hulle het ‘n algehele tweede plek behaal naas Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) in die eerste posisie en Hoërskool Merensky in die derde plek. Die meisiespan het bestaan uit Lizemè Pretorius, Nicolene Venter, Geraldine Venter en Carla Enslin. Hulle het algeheel vierde geëndig, met PHS eerste, Hoërskool Ben Vorster tweede en Merensky derde.

verskuif na Donderdag, 22 April, om te hoor of hulle borg toegestaan gaan word. Alhoewel die dag begin het met die vyf se borgaansoeke, is slegs Jere se aansoek voltooi. Hy is R1 000 borg toegestaan, wat hy betaal het. Die twee Duvenhages, Hibbert en Labuschag ne se borgaansoeke is na 29 April uitgestel om aangehoor te word. Hulle is almal verlede Donderdag borg toegestaan van R5 000 elk. Teen druktyd het dit geblyk na nie almal van hulle al hul borg kon betaal nie en party dus steeds in aanhouding was. Dit het ook aan die lig gekom dat nog ‘n verdagte rakende die saak aangekeer is en saam met die twee Duvenhages, Hibbert, Labuschagne en Jere op die klagte teen hulle

gaan teregstaan. Hy is die 36-jarige Francois Vermeulen. Hy het saam met die ander verlede Donderdag verskyn en is ook R5 000 borg gegee. Volgens die klagstaat sal die twee Duvenhages, Vermeulen, Hibbert, Labuschagne en Jere teregstaan op vyf klagte van huisbraak, een klag van veediefstal en twee klagte van die besit van vermoedelik gesteelde goedere. Die sake teen die aangeklaagdes is uitgestel tot 25 Mei, wanneer die streeksaanklaer sal besluit of die sake eerder in die streekhof as die distrikhof aangehoor moet word. Die moontlikheid bestaan ook dat van die sake saamgevoeg kan word met nog ander bestaande sake.

Still no news about Shyam Premjee Missing person update No news about the fate of the 36-year-old Louis Trichardt businessman, Shyam Premjee, has been received yet. He was violently abducted on his way to work on Friday, 9 April. Since the incident, the Premjee family have closed ranks and a spokesperson requested that the family members be allowed space to deal with the traumatic event. The family did not want to comment on the case. The spokesperson for the police in Limpopo, Brig Motlafela Mojapelo, confirmed on Monday that Mr Premjee was still missing, with no new information on the case. He previously stated that the police were treating it as a missing-person case, “We can only treat it as a kidnapping if these people [suspects] phone to demand a ransom,” he said. The suspects presumably transferred Mr Premjee to another vehicle and fled the scene, using two silver sedans. These vehicles were reportedly seen driving along the N1. An intensive manhunt for the suspects and the safe return of Mr Premjee was immediately launched and continues. Members of the public are once again asked

to come forward, should they have information about the incident or Mr Premjee’s whereabouts. The person tasked with dealing with information can be reached on 071 501 1695.

Children were playing at the park next to the Information Centre in Louis Trichardt this past Freedom Day (27th). Parents call for more entertainment facilities for kids to keep them busy at the park.

Part of the “facelift” entails erecting a fence around the park.

R3.5 million “facelift” for park includes recreational area The plans seem to have been put on hold for a number of years and the first real work on the The park next to the N1 and adjacent to the project only started a few weeks ago.

The new developments were welcomed by most sectors of the community, but some people had their doubts. “We really appreciate this development. The park has been in a poor state for a long time. We do not think anyone ever took care of it, as there are broken glass bottles, plastic bags, and papers all over. We need a place where we can relax and feel safe, but if this development involves fees, then it has to be reasonable,” said one of the people who visited the park the past weekend. “This is the place we as a family favour most to come to, to relax, so we need it to be up to standard with more facilities. The municipality must also cut the grass on a regular basis,” said

Duduzile Khumalo, another visitor who stays in Tshikota. The park, according to Khumalo, could be very safe if a fee is introduced, as this would reduce a number of the unruly elements. He does, however, feel that children should at least pay less. “As it is, I cannot let my children visit the park alone. There are a lot of suspicious movements and the park is too bushy,” he said. Marvil Phusawani from Nzhelele echoed Khumalo’s sentiments. “My sister and her boyfriend were robbed of their phones in broad daylight at this park last year. As it is the park, is not safe, except on the weekends when there are lots of other people in the park,” said Phusawani.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Op ‘n positiewe noot het die voorblad van die Zoutpansberger van 3 Mei 1996 gelei met die aankondiging dat verskeie groot kettingwinkels op pad is na Louis Trichardt. Dit nadat Solly Noor Properties aangekondig het dat hulle ‘n verdere R20 miljoen gaan belê in verskeie plaas like projekte. Dit het ingesluit ‘n streek kantoor vir versekeringsreus Sanlam, asook opgraderings aan die bestaande Morkels meubelwinkel, en uitbrei dings aan Checkers. Die projekte het ook ingesluit die opgradering van die Twin Citykompleks, en vele meer. Op ‘n hartseer noot het inwoners met skok kennis geneem van die dood van twee geliefde inwoners, Willie (49) en Levina Hattingh (45). Die egpaar is dood nadat hulle motor met ‘n stadig bewegende bus gebots het. Willie was tot kort voor sy dood verbonde aan die destydse Lugmagbasis Louis Trichardt as adjudant-offisier, terwyl Levina by die staatsveearts werksaam was. Die egpaar het hul twee kinders, Chris en Magda, asook ‘n kleinkind, agtergelaat. Dan was daar een storie in daardie week se koerant wat behoorlik die nekhare laat rys het. Gerugte van ‘n vrou wat uit die dood opgestaan het, het die rondte begin doen. Dit sou blyk dat die gerugte waar was.

Die bejaarde “dooie” vrou se liggaam is na ‘n plaaslike lykshuis geneem waar dit oornag in ‘n koelkamer gehou is. ‘n Werker by die lykshuis het die volgende dag op die vrou afgekom en hulp ontbied. Die vrou is oorgeplaas na die Elim Hospitaal, waar sy dadelik opgeneem is, maar het ‘n paar uur later gesterf.

N1/Mampakuil weighbridge to be upgraded at a cost of R15 million By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho The Democratic Alliance (DA) welcomed the allocation of R15 million for the upgrading of the Mampakuil weighbridge on the N1 between Botlokwa and Louis Trichardt. The Mampakuil weighbridge has been neglected for years and is not in a good condition, the party said. An old and dilapidated caravan is being used as a guardroom and temporary office buildings are being used. “There is no place to put the loads that are reduced from the vehicles that are overloaded,” said the DA in Limpopo’s spokesperson on Transport and Community Safety, Ms Katlego Phala. She said that the disorganised conditions at the weighbridge were unwelcome at this stage. “It is also the only weighbridge with a manual weighing system, as opposed to the more modern systems used at other weighbridges where trucks have dedicated lanes as they approach the weighbridge, and a robot directs them to the scale,” she said. According to Phala, the weighbridge has also been an occupational hazard for employees as it is not very visible from the N1, except for the green board with a small font. “The weighbridge’s effectiveness is dependent on traffic control officials on the main road to stop trucks. In 2020, a traffic official died at this very same weighbridge after he was hit by a vehicle while trying to stop another vehicle,” she said. Phala stressed that the R15 million allocated for the Mampakuil weighbridge upgrade should be used for a dedicated lane guiding trucks to the weighbridge, the installation of visible boards, as well as road signs and a new, properly built and installed modern infrastructure in order to improve the working conditions and performance.

How does it work?

Is it difficult?

Some rules:

We wrote the first chapter of the story. Two stories are featured, an English one and an Afrikaans story. The stories alternate, meaning one week the English chapter appears and the next week the Afrikaans story’s chapter. The stories are completely different, and the young writers do not have to enter chapters for both stories. The first chapter had merely set the parameters of the story, such as some of the characters and a very basic plot. Where the story will eventually end up is totally up to our young readers. Writers may introduce new characters and (sadly) kill off some of the old characters. Every new chapter gets published on a Thursday in the newspaper. The writers then have up to the following Wednesday afternoon to send in their contributions. The entries will be judged by a panel of writers. Every week’s winning entry will receive a small prize. An overall prize for the best contributions (English and Afrikaans) will also be given at the end of the series.

We want to encourage all young writers to contribute. The writer’s imagination and the way the plot is structured are more important than the use of language. The winning contributions will be sub-edited and corrected before the next chapter is published. (If neces-

Although we want to keep rules to the minimum, some guidelines are necessary. Each chapter should be limited to 500 words or fewer. Entries must reach the newspaper before 23:00 on a Wednesday afternoon after publication. (If, for instance, the Afrikaans story’s chapter is published that specific week, the entries for the next chapter must reach us by the next Wednesday.) Entries must be e-mailed to leigh@ zoutnet.co.za. The story will be published on our website to make it easier for entrants to recap on what had happened in previous chapters. Each chapter must preferably end in a way that the suspense is maintained and that the other writers can add to the story. Both stories need to end in Chapter 10. Build the story in such a way that a conclusion can be reached in the final chapter.

sary information may be added to keep context and add to the continuity.) In every week’s edition, a judges’ discussion with some advice for the young writers will be provided. The competition is not about language excellence, but rather about the telling of an interesting story.

Who can enter? An age-limit of 19 has been set, but anything younger goes. Entrants are not limited to specific schools, but they must reside in the Vhembe District.

Entries for Chapter 8 of the English story must reach us before 23:00 on Wednesday, 12 May 2021.

This week’s winner is Nyandano Ramushweu. “I attend Ridgeway College, I am currently doing grade 12 and this is my literary piece. I Hope you will enjoy it,” he says. He wins this week’s R300 cash prize.

Our winning entry ...

Chapter 7 By Nyandano Ramushweu

osalyn and the tall, dark stranger stared at each other for seconds that felt like hours. Nothing was heard but the wind blowing through the forest around them and the sound of the nearby rapids on the river. Tinashe, as the man introduced himself, was obviously waiting for Rosalyn to respond, but she froze up. Rosalyn couldn’t make up her mind. Yes, Tinashe was the missing link she needed, but her instincts were screaming at her to run. Something was incredibly off about his sudden appearance, and that didn’t sit well with her. “You’re not going to run off again like back at the house, are you?” “No, but I should be the one asking the questions,” said Rosalyn, displaying a bit of attitude. For a moment she asked herself whom she was fooling. Was the façade of bravery she was showing supposed to fool Tinashe, or herself? She knew the answer but brushed it off. Tinashe pushed her gently aside and she stumbled slight-

Comments from the judges Every week is an exciting journey – and now we’re only talking about the judges’ experiences. For Chapter 7 we received two outstanding entries. Anke Roos’ version had Rosalyn jumping from tree to tree in an effort to escape the mysterious man. It was a funfilled and very humorous epi-

ly. When she looked over at where he was, he had already climbed four steps up to the treehouse. “Hey!” she screamed. She followed him up the steps, only to find him on the platform, holding her grandfather’s book with his eyes wide open with excitement. Something told her it was all over - a feeling she could not explain. She felt like she had lost everything. Watching Tinashe stare at those pages, she felt her stomach churn. Tinashe removed his necklace, and it flew to the depression on the cover. In a quick act of desperation, she lunged, grabbing the book out of his hands while he was still seemingly basking in his “victory”. She held it close to her chest, close to her heart. This was not just a book anymore, it was the last remnant of her grandfather, but it was too late. Tinashe burst into demented laughter as the book began to glow brighter and brighter. Rosalyn was panicking. Her mind was racing. As the wind blew louder, the birds turned from singing to screaming, and the ground was quaking. Tinashe was loudly chanting words in an ancient dialect that sounded all too familsode, but unfortunately didn’t take the plot much further. Our previous winner, Nyandano Ramushweu, clearly has an imagination that knows very few boundaries. As one of the judges put it: “This is definitely the winner - fast-moving, changing the setting, and physically propelling us forward towards ... well, we’ll have to wait for the next chapter, I guess!” Nyandano receives this week’s R300 prize and he is

iar to Rosalyn - chaos. She knew something was going to happen, but she didn’t know what… “Where am I? ... Where am I?” In the blink of an eye, she had been transported, teleported, but where? She struggled to stand and staggered around for a while, until her eyesight and balance returned. All she could remember was holding the book, and then a big golden flash, and now she was standing in the middle of a grassland in the moonlight. “Definitely not in the treehouse anymore,” she whispered. Surprisingly, Rosalyn wasn’t in shock because she had magically vanished and reappeared in an unknown location in the dark. At this point she realised that she had to stop trying to understand. She looked around her, trying to peer into the distance. Large rectangular boulders appeared to surround here, each about four to five metres tall. She walked closer, and they only seemed to become bigger and bigger. The boulders were arranged in a circular pattern and resembled something she once saw in a National Geographic documentary. It reminded her of Stonehenge, the prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. She walked around the gigantic stones, until she noticed that one of the boulders was placed horizontally on top of two vertical ones, creating a doorlike, rectangular space in the centre. She took a few steps forward into the space, and then she saw it - the rectangular space was exactly aligned with a familiar constellation. “Orion,” she whispered. To be continued. quietly managing to collect some useful pocket money with his writing skills. The competition, however, is now getting more difficult. With only three chapters to go Rosalyn needs to (hopefully) find her granddad and after Chapter 7’s “travelling”, they need to get back home. To all the other young writers out there: Start typing away and give Nyandano a proper run for the prize money!

Remember: Entries for Chapter 8 of the English story must reach us before 23:00 on Wednesday, 12 May 2021.

LET’S COOK... Moist Red Velvet Cake

By Denise van Bergen

Portia Mabirimisa runs her own bakery and of all the delicious things she concocts on a daily basis, this is her favourite. The recipe was handed down to her by a close friend she also considers a great baker, who shared some of her recipes as a gift when Portia first started her business. Although she was still rather inexperienced at the time, there was just something elegant about this particular recipe that had her baking it over and over again for her family and friends. Needless to say, she has mastered it to perfection by now. Ingredients: 2 cups cake wheat flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup white sugar 1 cup cooking oil (preferably Canola) 2 eggs 1 cup buttermilk 2 tsp vanilla essence 2 tsp red food colouring (preferably the thicker one, if you choose the watery one, use 2 bottles) 1 tsp coffee powder mixed with ½ cup hot water 1 tsp white vinegar Cooking Instructions: Preheat oven to 200°C. Generously grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix the sugar and vegetable oil together. First add the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and red food colouring, then add the coffee and white vinegar. Stir until everything is mixed well. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients simultaneously. Not all at once, a little at a time, mixing after each addition, until just combined (the batter will be thin). Pour the batter evenly into each pan and place the pans on the middle oven rack. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of each cake comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it. Do not overbake, as the cake will continue to cook as it cools. When done, let the pans cool a little on a cooling rack, until they are only warm to the touch. Slide a knife or spatula around the inside of the pans to loosen the cake from the pans. Gently remove the cake by tipping the pans over, and let them finish cooling (the warm cake will be very delicate). When the cakes have cooled completely, cover them generously with cream cheese icing and stack. Notes: Be sure not to overbake! Check the cake at 30 minutes, as some ovens run really hot. The cake will be very moist and delicate, and you may need to refrigerate them first to firm them up before frosting and stacking. To bake cupcakes, bake for 18-20 minutes, checking at the 18-minute mark.

Cream Cheese Icing: 250 g (1 x tub) plain cream cheese 250 g unsalted butter or any baking margarine, at room temperature 2 tsp vanilla essence 4 cups icing sugar, sifted In a large bowl, cream the cream cheese and butter together with a hand mixer. Add the vanilla essence and gradually mix in the icing sugar. Let icing set in the fridge for a few hours to ﬁrm up, if needed. Portia was born and raised in Dzanani in Nzhelele. She is married with a 15-year-old daughter, Owami. After she resigned from the corporate world in 2013 she decided to start her own bakery called Posh Yummy Delights, which she runs from home. What she loves about baking is the attention to detail it requires. She considers it a “sophisticated sport” and great stress reliever. She has a sweet tooth herself and says that this deﬁnitely cures her cravings. Portia is also a lover of the outdoors. She and her hubbie, Divhambele, like to take road trips and enjoy watching the beautiful scenery from these parts of our country. For relaxation she treats herself now and then to a visit at a Spa and makes time for swimming, dancing or watching a good romance or comedy on the telly. Learning something new and having an adventure; love and family; being a homemaker, wife and mother – these are the things that make her the happiest in life.

CVO maak DBV se harte warm met skenking Dierebeskerming Met harte vol dankbaarheid het lede van die Louis Trichardt Dierebeskermingsvereni ging (DBV) op Vrydag, 23 April, by die CVO Zoutpansberg besoek afgelê nadat die skool besluit het om kos en komberse in te samel vir die DBV ‘n Paar DBV-komiteelede en die vereniging se inspekteur Lawrence Khodobo het die skenking in ontvangs gaan neem. Die skool se besluit om die kos en warm komberse in te samel is geneem met die koue wintermaande wat op pad is in gedagte. “Ons het werklik nie woorde gehad vir die ongelooflike skenking nie en het letterlik met ‘n bakkievrag vol kos, komberse, speelgoed en selfs beddens daar weggery. Die skenking kom op so ‘n goeie tyd, knap voor die winter, wanneer ons ons diere wil warm hou. Ons wil graag die CVO Zoutpansberg se onderwysers, die studente en

hulle ouers uit ons harte uit bedank vir julle oop harte teenoor ons diere. Dit was ‘n voorreg om tyd met die leerders te spandeer. Dankie vir die geleentheid om hulle meer te vertel van wat ons doen en hoe om na hulle troeteldiere om te sien,” het ‘n lid van die DBV, Adri Viviers, gesê. Quest, Alicia Thomas van die DBV se aanneemhond, het ook tydens die geleentheid leerders vermaak met van sy toertjies en hulle kon ná die tyd ook vir Quest ontmoet en beter leer ken. “Nogmaals dankie aan CVO Zoutpansberg vir die groot verskil wat julle vir ons DBV gemaak het,” het die DBV gesê. Die CVO Zoutpansberg se Graad RR tot 3-leerders het hul insamelingsprojek opgevolg met ‘n besoek aan die plaaslike DBV op 30 April. Tydens die geleentheid het hulle gehelp om onder meer van die diere se beddegoed en harnasse te was. Die jongspan het ook tyd gekry om bietjie met die katte en honde te speel.

Louis Trichardt se kolwers lê die lang stele in teen Phoenix vir 153 lopie wen Deur Andries van Zyl

Agt trappers durf Brug-na-Berg aan Agt trappers uit plaaslike fietsrygeledere het Saterdag die koue weer trotseer en deelgeneem aan die jaarlikse Brug-na-Berg fietsrit. Tydens dié rit poog spanne fietsryers van regoor die land om die roete vanaf Beitbrug tot in Kaapstad in een dag te voltooi met spanne wat elkeen ‘n spesifieke deel van die roete voltooi. Plaaslik het die agt ryers besluit om ‘n rit te ry op die Waterpoort/Alldays-pad, amper gelykstaande aan die afstand tussen Musina en Louis Trichardt. Daar is besluit dat die N1 weens die vakansiedag ‘n te groot risiko sou wees ten opsigte van ryers se veiligheid. Die Brug-na-Berg fietsrit is die breinkind van oom Jakkie van der Colff van Pretoria en die rit word gebruik om mense bewus te maak van die voordele van fietsry, asook die gevare daaraan verbonde en wat motoriste kan doen om fietsry veiliger te maak. Die agt trappers wat Saterdag deelgeneem het was (van links na regs) Mark Archer, Catò de Bruin, André Koorts, oom Wim Botha, Tielie en Frikkie de Jager en Jan en Hetta Lombard. Die agt het sowat vier ure lank getrap. Foto verskaf.

Die kolwers van Louis Trichardt se eerste krieketspan het behoorlik die lang stele ingelê in hul provinsiale Impala Premier-ligawedstryd teen Phoenix wat Sondag op Louis Trichardt beslis is. Louis Trichardt se kolwers was in verwoestende vorm gewees. Craig Viljoen op nommer twee het ‘n skaflike 20 lopies van 21 balle aangeteken, terwyl Dirk van den Berg op nommer drie 32 lopies van 42 balle geslaan het. Sahil Patel en Dewald Joubert, wat onderskeidelik op nommer vier en vyf ingekom het, het ook haastig aanstaltes gemaak met die kolf en elk 45 lopies van onderskeidelik 56 en 40 balle af gemoker. En net om sout te vryf in die Phoenix boulers se wonde, het JP Coetzee (nie uit nie) op nommer agt 55 lopies aangeteken vanaf 59 balle, terwyl FC Phillipson op nommer nege 26 lopies aangeteken het. Louis Trichardt is in die 49ste boulbeurt almal uitgeboul, maar nie alvorens hulle ‘n allemintige 272 lopies op die telbord geplaas het nie. Alhoewel effens aan die duur kant, was Phoenix se beste bouler Jan Borman gewees wat drie paaltjies kon plattrek vir die verlies van 48 lopies in sy toegelate beurte. Spanmaats Hendrik Botes en Ruben Vosloo was eweneens duur gewees en het elk twee paaltjies vir die verlies van onderskeidelik 54 lopies en 73 lopies

Strikers gee vir Drillers ‘n krieketles Krieketnuus Die Strikers het Saterdag die Drillers ietwat van ‘n krieketles gegee met ‘n nege-paaltjie oorwinning in die volgende ronde van die Louis Trichardt Krieketklub se 20-beurt liga. Die Drillers se kolwers kon maar net nie aan die gang kom nie, met die eerste drie paaltjies wat geval het vir ‘n bydrae van 12 lopies. M Parkin op nommer vier het dapper probeer om die telbord aan die gang te hou met ‘n bydrae van 11 lopies, maar hy is skoon geboul na 14 balle. Met ses paaltjies plat het die kolwers slegs 26 lopies aangeteken, en dit het baie druk op die middelen stertkantkolwers geplaas. Stephan Otto en Ruben van der Nest, in op nommer sewe en agt, het albei 10 lopies vanaf onderskeidelik 16 en 7 balle aangeteken, terwyl Lukas Visser 12 lopies van 11 balle af gemoker het op nommer nege. Die span is egter uitgeboul in 16,2 beurte met die telling op 79 lopies. Vir die Strikers het Dirk van den Berg geskitter met die bal. Hy kon spog met goeie syfers van vier paaltjies vir die verlies van slegs 16 lopies

Riaan Geber het twee paaltjies platgetrek vir die verlies van ses lopies in twee beurte, terwyl Paulo Piorek, JP Coetzee, Ettienne van Heerden en Amaris Nortjé elk een paaltjie ingeoes het. Dirk van den Berg het ook met die kolf uitgeblink as Strikers se beste kolwer. Hy het as openingskolwer 50 lopies aangeteken van 41 balle, wat ses viere ingesluit het. Die Drillers het egter verskeie vangskote vanaf Van den Berg se kolfwerk verbrou, wat in ‘n groot mate tot hulle ondergang bygedra het. Van Den Berg het op ‘n nie-uit telling geëindig. Hy is goed ondersteun aan die ander kant van die kolfkampie deur JP Coetzee, wat 20 lopies van 24 balle aangeteken het. Van den Berg het die wenlopies in 11,2 beurte geslaan met die telling op 08/1 in ‘n beurt waarin die Drillers 10 ekstras afgestaan het. Die enigste bouler van Drillers wat ‘n paaltjie kon laat kantel, dié van JP Coetzee met die Strikers se telling op 68, was Sean Collett. Hy het geëindig met syfers van een vir 20 in drie beurte.

Alhoewel Phoenix se openingskolwer, Gideon Swanepoel, dapper probeer wal gooi het teen Louis Trichardt se boulaanval, het al Phoenix se kolwers maar bietjie gesukkel. Swanepoel het 36 lopies van 55 balle af geslaan, terwyl Matty Maritz op nommer drie hard moes werk vir sy 15 lopies van 33 balle af. Ná hulle vertrek het die paaltjies egter redelik vinnig gekantel, met slegs André de Beer op nommer sewe en Jan Borman op nommer ag wat nog dubbelsyfers met die kolf kon aanteken. De Beer het 16 lopies vanaf 23 balle af bygedra, en Borman 19 lopies vanaf 24 balle. Louis Trichardt se boulaanval was egter net te goed en Phoenix is in 33.5 beurte uitgeboul met die telling op 119, wat aan Louis Trichardt ‘n 153-lopie oorwinning besorg het. Feitlik al Louis Trichardt se boulers kon spog met ‘n paaltjie of meer. Craig Viljoen het drie paaltjies vir die verlies van 32 lopies in sy 10 beurte laat val. Sahil Patel en FC Phillipson het elk twee paaltjies platgetrek vir die verlies van onderskeidelik 32 lopies in agt beurte en ses lopies in 1,5 beurte, terwyl JP Coetzee, Dirk van den Berg en Dewald Joubert elk een paaltjie ingeoes het. Eerskomende Sondag sal Louis Trichardt se eerstes te staan kom teen die Nashua Aces in Polokwane.
