Hospital lashes out against “prophet of doom” and contests validity of damning hospital board report

Lies, lies ... all lies!

By Andries van Zyl

Lies, lies ... all lies! This is the crux of the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital’s response to the Zout­ pansberger’s front-page article regarding the seemingly deplorable state of affairs at the facility.

Serious shortcomings regarding hygiene and safety at this state hospital were brought to the newspaper’s attention by means of a leaked hospital board report, following a visit to the hospital by several board members on 17 July. The hospital’s management, however, now seems to be in a state of denial, contesting the legality and even the actual existence of such a report.

Under the heading “A fishing expedition gone wrong”, the hospital’s deputy manager for communications and liaison services, Mr Kutelani Sigidi, issued a statement. In it, he says that the hospital’s management “would like to put it on record that we remain unshaken and steadfast in our commitment to ensure that our clients continue to receive service of high quality notwithstanding the prophet of doom’s cheap peddling of mali-

cious, fabricated rumours. We therefore want to put it on record that the spooky copy of a report on the state of the hospital has not been submitted to the hospital management.”

With regard to the above, the Zoutpansberger has it on good authority that such a report was indeed compiled, distributed to several board members, including the board’s chairman, Mr Percy Sinthumule, and even served before management during a board meeting on 23 August.

The newspaper therefore finds it strange that, in its response, the hospital goes on to state that Mr Sinthumule is on record as having said: “The alleged report has never been commissioned by the hospital board [and] as such is deemed to be nonexistent. We are aware of our legal obligations and our responsibilities and as such we shall continue to discharge them even in the midst of faceless agent provocateurs. The hospital board would like to state categorically that it continues to give an unwavering support to the hospital management under the visionary stewardship of Mrs Raulinga Connie as the Chief Executive Officer.”

In his statement, Sigidi then gives an explanation of hospital boards’ legal obligations with regard to the National Health Act which, among others, states that it is important that hospital boards are largely advisory governance structures for hospitals and have a mandate to act honestly in the best interest of the public

“The alleged report has never been commissioned by the hospital board [and] as such is deemed to be non-existent”

and the users. “Through its skills mix, the board will advise the management of the organisation on processes for enhancing the organisation’s reputation ...” the statement reads.

Apparently assuming that the report was leaked to the newspaper by a fellow hospital board member, the hospital then

lashes out, stating that “... to therefore masquerade as a genuine hospital board member with a fictitious report is rather deplorable to say the least. A genuine hospital board therefore advises management accordingly, not through the abuses of access to the media.”

Hospital lashes out - contests existence of report

Several passengers were pinned on the back of this bakkie after it had allegedly ruptured a tyre and crashed into the back of a truck on the N1 south on Tuesday.

By Isabel Venter

Six critical after N1 crash Six people were seriously injured early on Tuesday morning in an accident along the N1 south, just outside of Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

All six, who were travelling in a bakkie, were on their way to town.

They were about 10km from town when their bakkie crashed into the back of a truck.

The driver of the truck, according to information available, told police that the driver of the bakkie lost control when one of the bakkie’s tyres ruptured and he could not regain control of the vehicle.

Passengers who were seated on

the back of the bakkie, which had a canopy, suffered severe head injuries.

Two more occupants of the bakkie (one of them presumably the driver) were also flung from the wreck. Rescue workers found them lying in the bushes next to the road.

The driver of the truck and his passenger were not injured in the accident. The six critically injured bakkie passengers were rushed to the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital. At the time of going to press, they were still in a critical condition.

(Contd from P1) Although last week’s newspaper article highlighted numerous problems at the hospital regarding the findings of the “nonexistent” report, the hospital addresses very few of these issues in its response.

“We are as the hospital expected to keep two pints of emergency blood and as thus there is nothing untoward in the spooky findings. The hospital has out-sourced laundry services for over five years to date and as such we have no challenge as it relates to cleaning of hospital linen,” the statement reads.

With regard to apparent serious water shortages, or the complete lack of water at the hospital, the hospital responds by saying: “The hospital has seven tanks with the capacity to carry 65 000 litres of water beside the water it receives from the municipality. These water tanks are refilled timeously through our internal boreholes which are fully functional.”

The hospital also lashes out against the newspaper’s reference to the parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Health’s findings, following a visit to the hospital in August last year. In last week’s article, it is stated that several of the committee’s findings were similar to the troubling findings highlighted in the hospital board’s “nonexistent” report.

“Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital was built in 1942. It has 52 officially approved usable beds. It was originally built to service the then predominantly white town of Louis Trichardt. The visit by the National Standing Committee on Health noted and appreciated how the hospital is performing now that it has to service all the surrounding villages notwithstanding the infrastructural challenges given its history.

The reference to the fabricated Standing Committee findings is as such regrettable,”

the statement reads. It goes on to state that the hospital went on to win the 2011 award for being the third cleanest public hospital in the Limpopo Province and “as such the reference to an unkempt and unhygienic state of hospital grounds is being economic with the truth,” the hospital states.

Sadly (or conveniently?) the hospital makes no reference in their response to the confirmation supplied in the article by the provincial spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Services, Ms Sinenhlanhla Gumede, that the situation at the hospital, as indicated by the now contested hospital board report, is an honest and true reflection of the situation at the facility. Neither does the hospital make any reference to the department’s evaluation committee’s visit to the hospital in May and their recommendation that the hospital must compile and submit an improvement plan to the department by 31 August. Surely one can ask: Who is now being economical with the truth?

Instead, the hospital statement goes on to say that: “The faceless messiah of the Louis Trichardt community, purporting to represent the hospital board has thus dismally failed to verify the actual state of affairs and in the process rubbished and discredit (sic) the hard work and commitment of men and women who are an integral part of the new cadre of a public service, striving to improve the health of our clients, and as such this has been a totally failed fishing expedition.” The statement concludes by saying: “The opinionated, rowdy, faceless peddler of lies aimed at misleading the community should then be exposed if responsible reporting is still the backbone of responsible journalism.”

In accepting the challenge to expose the “opinionated, rowdy, faceless peddler of lies aimed at misleading the community”,

the Zoutpansberger submitted several follow-up questions regarding the “actual” situation at the hospital to Mr Sigidi. The newspaper asked the hospital, among other things, whether it denies receiving an inspection by hospital board members and whether it denies that a report was compiled after this visit. A copy of the Portfolio Committee on Health’s findings, as submitted in parliament in March this year, was also forwarded to Mr Sigidi.

In this regard, he was asked to study the report and indicate whether the hospital still thinks the paper’s reference to its findings were “fabricated?” Other questions, among others, related to the actual water situation at the hospital, medicine shortages, the availability of cleaning materials and antiseptics and access control at the hospital. In the spirit of transparency, the hospital was also asked whether they would allow an unmonitored in loco visit by the press to verify the actual situation at the hospital.

Sagidi’s response to this was: “You have in your article quoted extensively from the hospital board report and less on the visit by the portfolio committee and as such I will appreciate if you may also forward me a copy of the report in an effort to provide you with a detailed response.

Until such copy is brought to our attention and its authenticity confirmed by all board members, in particular the chairperson and the secretary of the hospital board, its existence will remain suspect.”

In response to this, the Zoutpansbeger informed Sigidi that it is obvious that he is reluctant to answer questions by asking for a copy of a report already in their possession. A response from him on the follow-up questions was requested. No reply was received.

Court order to compel service delivery A court order will be served on the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) to compel them to supply water, says AfriForum.

At the time of going to press, chairman of AfriForum Louis Trichardt Mr Wally Schultz was on his way to Polokwane to meet the Pretoria legal team for the final signing off on the papers, so that the court order could be served this week.

Schultz, together with Messrs Lampie Schoeman and Herman Smith, met with the AfriForum legal team last Wednesday. They spent about two hours with the attorneys, Mr Willie Spies, Mr Werner Human and Ms Marika van der Walt, a specialist in water law.

“We presented them with ample information, affidavits and photographs of water and sewerage ‘hot spots’ in town and explained the history of our battle for service. We all went from there to

Advocate Jan Saunders, who established the way forward,” Schultz said.

Although this first important legal step has been taken, it unfortunately does not mean that the town will have water immediately.

“This is only the first step in a series of probably many steps to ensure a long-term solution for our water supply. After the interdict, we will not stop.

We will force the municipality to be accountable for each individual task, such as the repairing of each pump, the building of the reservoir that’s not visibly progressing, or the telemetric water flow meter that is not operational.

We will not let up until people have water,” Schultz said. He added that the AfriForum legal team had the willpower, the sense of urgency and the resources to push it through.

Schultz said that the municipality would have to start taking responsibility and caring for their equipment. At the water crisis meeting of 18 July, Mr Radidzai Madimutsa, VDM’s acting general manager for technical services, blamed vandalism as the main cause for the current problems.

“Madimutsa is correct: the pump stations are indeed vandalised and theft of cables and other equipment does occur … but what Mr Madimutsa does not tell us, is that he and his staff are directly responsible for allowing this. Not one pump station is under lock and key. Shockingly, some of these stations do not even have gates. It is an open invitation for vandals and thieves, and the municipality must shoulder 100% of the blame for this sloppy security management and the cost of constantly replacing cables, which they literally ‘allow to be stolen’,” Schultz said.

Even more shocking is that the telemetric water flow meter that was installed some years ago at the cost of millions of rands is not working. “If the telemetric water flow pumps work properly, they will automatically direct water from where there is water to where there is none. This costly equipment had been installed and had never worked for one day, because no one knows how to operate it. It is not even locked,” Schultz said.

4 7 September 2012 Deur Andries van Zyl “Ek kan nie in hierdie gemors trap nie,” sê me. Dolly Labuschagné, nadat riool al drie weke lank by die mangat op haar parkeerarea uitstroom. Volgens die loodgieter is die probleem aan die munisipaliteit se kant.

Deur Linda van der Westhuizen

“Ek kan nie in hierdie gemors trap nie” Al hoe meer gevalle van rioolstortings kom in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) dorp voor.

“Ek kan nie in hierdie gemors trap nie,” sê me. Dolly Labuschagné, nadat riool al drie weke lank by die mangat op haar parkeerarea uitstroom. Ander inwoners by die woonstelle in Andersonstraat 117, waar tannie Dolly woon, kry ook swaar.

“Die reuk is so erg, ek moet in ‘n ander kamer gaan slaap, omdat ek nie my kamervenster kan oopmaak nie. My kamervenster is regoor die rioolstorting,” sê me. Renata Joubert.

Die laaste drie woonstelle in die blok deel ‘n rioollyn naby aan die munisipale rioolpyp, wat by die agterste muur van die woonstelle loop. Die eienaar van die woonstelle het ‘n loodgieter ontbied, wat die versekering gegee het dat die fout aan die munisipaliteit se kant is en dat die riool van die munisipale lyn af terugstoot by

die betrokke mangat uit.

“Die munisipaliteit het aan die begin van die drie weke uit gekom, maar hulle ‘rods’ net hier gelos. Die volgende week het hulle dit kom haal,” sê tannie Dolly. Nog ‘n inwoner, mnr. Hansie Uys, het hom ook verwonder aan die vreemde werkswyse. “Hulle kom in twee bakkies en bly bo op die bakkies sit, maar dit is nie ‘n oplossing nie,” sê oom Hansie.

Intussen skakel van die inwoners en die eienaar die Makhado Munisipaliteit sonder ophou. “Hulle het my een slag geantwoord dat hulle sal kom wanneer hulle tyd het,” sê tannie Dolly. Die eienaar het uiteindelik op 3 September daarin ge slaag om sinvolle kontak met die munisipaliteit te bewerkstellig. “Ek is meegedeel dat die loodgieterspan in Tshikota besig is om ‘n nog groter gemors as hierdie reg te maak en dat hul enigste slootgrawer,

enigste span en enigste stel stawe daar betrokke is. Ek voel as daar ‘n krisis is, moet daar ‘n ander plan in plek wees, soos om ‘n slootgrawer te kan huur,” het die eienaar gesê.

Daar is ook al deur inwoners genoem dat die munisipale prosedure om die water aan en af te skakel en vir lang tye af te los, veroorsaak dat die riool harde aanpaksels vorm, wat dan later die stelsel verstop sodra die water weer aangeskakel word.

Navrae is aan die munisipaliteit gerig om onder andere vas te stel wat die munisipaliteit aan die rioolstortings gaan doen.

Teen druktyd het hulle laat weet dat hulle nog nie terugvoer vanaf die tegniese dienste departement gekry het nie. In die verlede het die munisipaliteit verwys na die nuwe watersuiweringswerke wat in aanbou is. Die groot vraag is egter wat nou in die interim gedoen gaan word?

Byna in tronk oor Taliban “verbintenis” Maak maar seker die nodige papierwerkies is reg voordat jy die landsgrense verlaat, want netnou sit jy met jou agterstewe agter tralies omdat mense dink jy is lid van die Taliban.

Só waarsku mnr. Leon Koen van Makhado (Louis Trichardt), nadat ‘n fout op sy paspoort hom byna in ‘n Zimbabwiese tronk laat beland het.

Koen, ‘n professionele jagter, het vanaf 10 tot 25 Augustus twee Amerikaanse jagters op ‘n Groot Vyf-jagtog in Zimbabwe vergesel.

Kort voor sy vertrek is hy egter bewus gemaak van ‘n probleem met sy paspoort. Instede van die kode wat Rhodesië (nou Zimbabwe) as sy geboorteland aandui, het ‘n vingerfout by die Departement van Binnelandse Sake blykbaar veroorsaak dat sy kode verander het – na die kode vir Afganistan!

“Ek het die fout in die vyf dae voor my vertrek probeer regmaak, maar hulle het vir my gesê dit sal ‘n minimum van 15 dae neem. Wat kon ek doen? Die jag was klaar gereël en betaal,” vertel Koen.

Koen is toe met die foutiewe pas poort deur die grenspos

by Beitbrug, waarna hy die Amerikaanse jaggeselskap by die Victoria Valle opgelaai het en deurgery het na hul konsessie jagkamp.

“Alles het goed gegaan, maar vier dae in die jag in daag daar drie senior amptenare van die President se kantoor in Victoria Valle by die jagkamp op - en hierdie manne is nie sommer

gewone polisie nie ...” sê Koen.

Die drie amptenare het Koen eenkant toe gevat en behoorlik onder “kruisverhoor” geneem oor sy paspoort.

“Ek moes bewys dat ek regtig in Zimbabwe gebore is. Ek het vir hulle my geboortesertifikaat gewys, asook my Suid-Afrikaanse identiteitsdokument, wat wys dat ek in Zimbabwe gebore is,” sê Koen. Die drie wou egter nog meer bewyse gehad het en wou weet waarom Koen se paspoort dan wys hy is in Afganistan gebore?

“Toe vra hulle my: ‘Have you got any relationship with the Taliban?’ Ek kon dit nie glo nie!” sê Koen.

Die drie het vir Koen gesê dat hy in ernstige moeilikheid is en dat hulle sal moet besluit of hulle hom gaan toesluit of deporteer. In ‘n poging om die situasie te ontlont het Koen hulle selfs vir ete genooi, maar die driemanskap wou niks weet nie. Dit was toe dat Koen egter besef het waaroor dit nou eintlik gaan– omkoopgeld!

Alhoewel die amptenare nooit reguit gesê het hulle soek geld nie, was die suggestie ooglopend.

“Hulle het vir my gevra: ‘Have you decided how are we going to resolve the situation? If we detain you, it is going to take two to three weeks!’ Dit was toe dat ek ook heel diplomaties vra wat dit sal vat om die probleem op te los?” vertel Koen.

Skaars was sy woorde koud of die vraag kom: “What can you offer?”

“Ek het hulle eers U$200

aangebied, maar dit was te min.

Hulle wou elkeen U$600 hê, maar ek kon dit nie bekostig nie.

Ek het elkeen U$400 aangebied, wat vir hulle aanvaarbaar was,” sê Koen. Hy sê dit was duidelik dat die drie “ou hande” was as dit kom by omkopery. Voordat daar oor enige geld gepraat of betaal is, is hy geforseer om sy horlosie af te haal en sy selfoon voor hulle af te skakel, blykbaar net in geval hy die “transaksie” op rekord wou kry. “Hulle het selfs my hemp se knope deurgegaan om te kyk of daar nie ‘n kamera in versteek was nie,” sê Koen.

Die ergste vir Koen was egter toe hy die U$1 200 (ongeveer R10 000) by een van sy Amerikaanse kliënte moes leen. Nadat hy die beamptes betaal het, wou hy tog ‘n waarborg hê dat iemand anders nie ook ‘n uur later gaan opdaag om te kollekteer nie?

“Hulle het my verseker dat ek nie weer probleme sal hê nie, wat wel die geval was. Ek het die jag klaargemaak en teruggekeer Suid-Afrika toe,” sê Koen. Hy meen hy sal spoedig die probleem met sy paspoort regstel.

Oor die betaling van omkoopgeld was Koen van mening dat dit altyd beter is om die morele hoë grond te hou, maar dan ten koste waarvan, in ‘n land wat bekend is vir omkopery en korrupsie?

“Ek het nie kans gesien om drie weke in ‘n Zimbabwiese tronk te sit nie. Wie weet met watter siektes kom jy terug as jy daar uitkom? Wat sou jy gedoen het in só ‘n situasie?” het Koen gevra.

7 September 2012 5

By Andries van Zyl

Accidents escalate as cops’ vigour seem to fade It would seem that the Makhado Municipality’s recent efforts to restore residents’ faith in the town’s traffic officials are dying a slow death.

In August, residents of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) welcomed the municipality’s efforts to ensure more visible traffic law enforcement. At that stage, municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi confirmed that the increased visibility of traffic officers in town formed part of an on-going drive to restore order.

Judging by the number of vehicle accidents in town the past week, however, it is obvious that the municipality’s new vigour to restore order is not having the desired effect. Speeding and failing to stop at stop signs are still common offences.

Once again the usual suspects top the list, and this is no reference to the drivers involved but rather to the now notorious Grobler and Songozwi Street and Munnik and Breda Street intersections. Accidents at these two intersections have become an almost weekly occurrence.

A female driver sustained head and neck injuries at the Grobler/Songozwi Street intersection last Wednesday, after a collision with an oncoming vehicle. This follows just two weeks after a similar accident at

the exact same place. This intersection is renowned for motorists’ running red traffic lights and the question remains: Why does one rarely see any traffic policing there, despite the high number of accidents?

The Munnik and Breda Street intersection also claimed another two victims early on Monday morning, when a light delivery vehicle and a sedan collided. This section of Munnik Street was resurfaced months ago, but there are still no road markings warning motorists of the twoway stop where it crosses Breda Street.

This dangerous situation is made worse by the fact that the stop signs are so faded that they are barely visible to motorists.

Following a near-fatal accident at the Munnik Street intersection in June, Bobodi was asked to explain why no road markings were visible at the intersection.

His reply was that the contractors were still in the process of completing the project and asked residents to be patient.

Ten weeks have gone by and still no road markings can be seen.

“Somebody is going to get killed here and it is going to be the municipality’s fault!” was the response of an irate Mr Wally Shultz, local chairman of AfriForum, at the scene. He was so outraged by

the municipality’s lack of responsibility regarding motorists’ safety that he drove around until he found a temporary municipal four-way stop sign and placed it in the middle of the intersection.

“I was threatened with arrest if I do this,” Shultz said.

Civil lawsuits against the municipality are almost sure to follow the recent spate of accidents at the Munnik/Breda Street intersection. Two weeks ago, the Zoutpansberger reported on a case where a woman fell and broke her leg in a pothole in Cronjé Street. She sued the municipality, with the Pretoria High Court, through a settlement agreement, ordering the municipality to pay her R300 000 in damages, as well as legal costs, bringing the total close to R500 000.

Bobodi was asked to explain who would pay for court cases like these, whether the municipality could afford it and whether or not the municipality had insurance against such claims? He responded last week by merely stating : “It is unfortunate that the incident happened … As a lawabiding institution, we obey and subscribe to the rule of law and we are going to effect the payment as ordered by the court.

As a way forward, the municipality has developed a draft Street Management Policy which is just awaiting the adoption of the Council. The Makhado Municipality will use this policy to ensure efficient, cost-effective, and organized maintenance of municipality-owned streets throughout the community. This will ensure better safety for residents and a prolonged and improved life of Makhado Municipality streets and infrastructure. The municipality will use private contractors to provide the maintenance where necessary.” None The driver of this vehicle was lucky to escape death, after yet another accident at of the questions relating to where the the now notorious Munnik and Breda Street intersection on Monday morning. money would come from was answered.

A female driver sustained head and neck injuries at the now notorious Songozwi and Grobler Street intersection in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) during yet another collision there last Wednesday. Accidents at this intersection have become almost a weekly occurrence.

On 22 August, Dr Anneke Malan´s vehicle came to a halt on top of a fire hydrant on the corner of Munnik and Breda Street after a collision.

The same afternoon there was another report of a similar accident on the same corner.

With no road markings and a barely visible stop sign (left), the intersection between Munnik and Breda Street has seen several near-fatal accidents the past couple of months. The temporary four-way stop sign in the middle of the intersection was put there by a fed-up community member.

Suksesvolle vertoë laat vrae oor wettigheid van padtekens

Wat sê die wet?

Wat sê Regulasie 287 van die Nasionale Pad­v er­k eerwet van 1996 (Wet 93 van 1996)?

Onderhewig aan die bepalings van hierdie Deel, sal ‘n padteken of -sein: - vertoon word op ‘n openbare pad waar die betekenis van toepassing sal wees en sigbaar sal wees vir aankomende verkeer; - in so ‘n posisie geplaas word, op ‘n hoogte wat die meeste voordeel sal bied met betrekking tot die ontwerp, belyning en ander kenmerke van die betrokke openbare pad; en - wesenlik vertoon sal word in ooreenstemming met: (i) die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap se padverkeerstekenhandleiding Deel Een en Vier; (ii) die Suider-Afrikaanse Padverkeerstekenhandleiding Deel Twee en Drie.

- ‘n Tydelike padteken mag slegs gebruik word vir ‘n tydelike toestand.

Meegaande grafiek dui die hoogtes van ´n verkeersteken aan. Grafiek: SA Speedbumps.

Hoe wettig is van die verkeers- en padtekens in Makhado (Louis Trichardt)?

Die Zoutpansberger het gaan ondersoek instel, nadat ‘n inwoner van die dorp suksesvol ‘n vertoë teen ‘n spoedkaartjie gerig het, omdat die padteken wat die spoed aandui te hoog aangebring was.

Die inwoner, wat nie geïdentifiseer wil word nie, is deur verkeersbeamptes voorgekeer, nadat hy glo 75km per uur in ‘n 60km-sone gery het op die N1 net buite die dorp. Hy was bewus van die regulasies ten opsigte van verkeerstekens en het ná die tyd sy maatband uitgehaal en die verkeersteken, wat motoriste waarsku om spoed te verminder, se hoogte vanaf die grond gemeet. Dit was wel te hoog. Volgens die regulasies van die Padverkeerswet van 1996 (Wet 93 van 1996) moet dié betrokke padteken tussen 1.8 en 2 meter bo die grond geplant word. Die teken langs die N1 het, volgens die vertoë, 2.35m bo die grond gestaan.

Nodeloos om te sê, die kaartjie is teruggetrek.

Dit het die vraag laat ontstaan hoeveel van die dorp se padtekens (of gebrek daaraan) wettig is?

Die Zoutpansberger het ‘n vinnige steekproef gedoen, veral wat stoptekens betref, gesien in die lig daarvan dat weinig mense in die dorp hulle daaraan steur.

By sommige kruisings was die stoptekens almal op verskillende hoogtes. By ander kruisings is stoptekens reeds weke en selfs maande lank vermis, alhoewel waarskuwingslyne nog op die padoppervlakte geverf is. Dan was daar die stoptekens wat so hoog by kruisings geplant is dat bome dit versteek. Ander was weer so laag geplant dat dit ‘n gevaar vir voetgangers inhou. By talle kruisings was daar stoptekens, maar geen waarskuwingslyne op die padoppervlakte nie.

So, aan watter regulasies moet sekere verkeers­ tekens voldoen? ‘n Internetstudie van die Padverkeerswet van 1996 (Wet 93 van 1996) was maar aan die skraps kant as dit kom by die regulasies. Plaaslike bronne was ook nie van veel hulp nie.

Navraag by die munisipale verkeersafdeling het aan die lig gebring dat hulle nie eens in besit is van

BRENNCO FEEDS

‘n volledige kopie van die wet nie. Daar kon wel vasgestel word dat die Padverkeerswet uit vyf dele bestaan. Een deel bevat die wet en die res bestaan uit regulasies, wat onder andere verkeers- en padtekens reguleer.

Die wet maak ook melding van ‘n verdere dokument, naamlik die Southern African Development Community Road Traffic Signs Manual (SADCRTSM), wat addisionele riglyne bevat.

Die munisipaliteit het ook nie ‘n kopie van hierdie handleiding nie. Die kantoor van die plaaslike provinsiale verkeersafdeling was ook nie seker waar hulle kopie van die handleiding was nie. ‘n Privaatmaatskappy wat padtekens vervaardig en installeer, SA Speedbumps, kon bietjie meer duidelikheid gee.

Die maatskappy se tegniese en logistieke be­ stuurder, mnr. Kendal Thompson, het verduidelik dat hulle maatskappy vanuit die Padverkeerswet, die SADCRTSM, die Suid-Afrikaanse Buro vir Standaarde (SABS) en verskeie Witskrifte van School News

Top awards for local college students Two learners from Ridgeway College in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) have received top awards from the University of Cambridge’s International Examinations board to acknowledge their outstanding performance in the June and November 2011 Cambridge examinations.

Nabeelah Ghood was ranked first in South Africa for IGCSE accounting and Rabia Chhaya achieved third place in the country for the Best Across Three Cambridge International AS Levels. Their awards were handed to them during a function held at Ashton College in Johannesburg on 29 August.

Rabia Chhaya adds this to her previous achievements at IGCSE level in 2010, where she was ranked first in the world for IGCSE physical science, second in the world and first in South Africa for IGCSE information and communications (IT) respectively and first in South Africa for IGCSE mathematics.

The principal of Ridgeway College, Ms Leigh Bristow, said that the awards recognised the

talent, dedication and commitment of both learners and staff.

Mark Barber, senior schools development manager, said: “It is extremely rewarding to congratulate Cambridge learners and teachers at Ridgeway College, who have worked so hard to achieve tremendous success in Cambridge IGCSE and AS Level examinations. The results are a reflection of the enormous talent in South Africa, not only amongst learners, but also within the teaching profession …”

Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most popular international qualification for 14- to

16-year-olds, attracting almost 500 000 entries every year from 144 countries. Cambridge International AS and A Level qualifications are taken by over 175 000 learners in more than 125 countries every year. They are typically for learners aged 16 to 19 years who need advanced study to prepare for higher education.

Ridgeway College offers Cambridge programmes and qualifications, including Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge AS Level, which are valued by universities and employers around the world.

die Departement van Vervoer hul eie handleiding saamgestel het. Hierdie dokument haal egter nie provinsiale wetgewing vir spesifieke munisipali­ teite aan nie en Thompson kon net ‘n algemene en nie-amptelike aanduiding gee van die hoogtes.

“Die enigste tekens wat aan enige vaste reëls moet voldoen is dié by kruisings,” het Thompson gesê. Volgens hom moet ‘n teken by ‘n kruising, soos ‘n stopteken, tussen ‘n minimum en maksimum hoogte van 2,1 en 3 meter bo die grond geplant word. Die installeerder, sê Thompson, moet ook die toestand en omstandighede van die pad in ag neem. Dit sluit dinge in soos bome, ondergrondse pype en ‘n draai of hoogte in die pad.

Wat die minimum hoogte betref, blyk dit dat heelwat van die dorp se stoptekens nie aan die regulasies voldoen nie. Die vraag kan gevra word: Is die kaartjie wettig wat jy by so ‘n teken kry as jy versuim om te stop en is dit die rede waarom die verkeersafdeling nie hulle tyd wil mors of mense wil beboet nie?

Andersonstraat se padwerke verjaar!

´n Oryx-helikopter op pad om ´n Gecko-voertuig vir die troepe op die grond neer te sit, terwyl ´n Rooivalk, met sy 20mm-kanon, dekking verleen op die agtergrond. Die geleentheid was Lugmagbasis Makhado se vuurkragdemonstrasie by die Roodewal-bombaan verlede Woensdag. Onder: Een van die hoogtepunte van die demonstrasie was die Hercules C-160 wat oor die skare gevlieg het en fakkels afgevuur het.

Die padwerke in Andersonstraat het nou verjaar!

“Ek kan presies onthou dat dit die laaste week in Augustus verlede jaar was dat daar aktief met die padwerke begin is,” sê mnr. Schalk Grobbelaar, een van die inwoners in dié kort stukkie van Andersonstraat tussen Stubbs- en Ruhstraat. Die amptelike begindatum van die projek was 25 Mei 2011 en die voltooidatum was 25 Januarie 2012, het die Makhado Munisipaliteit gesê.

Grobbelaar het tong-in-diekies gesê dat daar eintlik ‘n koek met een kersie aan die Makhado Munisipaliteit oorhandig moet word om die padwerke se eerste verjaarsdag te vier. Al die bure moes saam worstel deur die lang, uitgerekte proses van die herhaalde omploeg van die teer, waarna die werk net weer vir lang tye heeltemal stilgestaan het. Die onbeskryflike stofwolke is ‘n goeie 10 maande verduur, tot ‘n paar dae voor die Kremetart fietswedren op 9 Junie, toe Stubbs-, Munnik- en Andersonstraat weens baie druk gou geteer is deur Polokwane Surfacing (Hillary).

“Hulle het hierdie week die randstene in Andersonstraat begin messel met troffels. Ek weet, want hulle kom altyd water by my haal,” sê Grobbelaar. Weereens moet die hoë lading verkeer teen ‘n slakkepas en dikwels in ‘n enkelbaan beweeg as gevolg van die werk aan die pad.

“Daar is ‘n hoogteverskil tussen die nuwe pad en ons erwe. Die

straat is 300mm hoër as wat dit voorheen was. Op die oomblik, as dit sou reën, sal die water reguit in ons erwe inhardloop, want daar is niks wat keer nie. Ons sal moet sien wat die eindresultaat van die pad oplewer,” sê Grobbelaar.

“As alles goed gaan, kan die werk aan Anderson- en Munnikstraat binne vier weke klaar wees,” het die ingenieur, mnr.

Pieter Meiring, van Dombo en Du Plessis Raadgewende Ingenieurs, op 23 Augustus gesê.

Die oponthoud met die randstene is vererger deur kontantvloeiprobleme by die kontrakteur.

“Nie al die randstene wat daar gelê is, is reg nie. Sommiges moet vervang word. Die opgedateerde fakture is reeds ingehandig en sodra die kontrakteur die geld in

sy rekening het, word die ander randstene afgelewer,” het Meiring gesê.

Die kontrakteur van die projek is Fantique Trading. ‘n Voormalige terreiningenieur het gesê dat dit baie waarskynlik is dat die kontrakteur nie wins uit die projek gaan maak nie.

So deur die loop van die jaar was daar soms kontantvloeiprobleme met die projek, soms het ‘n tekort aan bitumen die skuld gekry, soms was dit bloot swak interne bestuur en beplanning.

Steeds bly dit moeilik om aan iemand te verduidelik hoe op aarde ‘n munisipaliteit en ‘n kontrakteur dit kan regkry om na 12 maande van padwerke op ‘n kort stukkie straat, nog steeds nie klaar te wees nie ...

Werkers messel die randstene in Andersonstraat, waar dié projek nou al verjaar het.

• Vorm Christelike opvoeding daagliks deel van my kin d se lewe by die skool (Bybel as vak) of is dit afgewater tot opening met gebed om ruimte toe te laat vir ander gelowe?

• Dra die inhoud van leermateriaal my goedkeuring weg vanuit ‘n Christelike lewensbeskouiing?

“We at the ministers forum thought it prudent to host a service dedicated to praying for rain.

We are told in the Scriptures to ask for what we need. Here is an opportunity to ask for some very-much-needed rain. We continue to trust God that He will provide for our needs in all areas of our lives, be it in the community or in our private lives. Of course, the focus of the event will be on praying for rain,” said one of the organizers, Rev Robby Novella.

Spesiale dag gee erkenning aan aasvoëls Die natuur se eie skoonmakers, wat dikwels nie te geliefd is nie, was die afgelope Saterdag die eregaste by die Blouberg Natuurreservaat.

Aasvoëls, wat ‘n belangrike rol in die ekosisteem speel, het die afgelope naweek erkenning gekry vir hulle funksie, tydens ‘n feestelike viering van Inter-

nasionale Aasvoëldag by die reservaat. Dié dag is gereël in samewerking met die Vriende van Blouberg-groep en die Birdlife Soutpansberg Voëlkykersklub van Makhado (LTT).

Die geleentheid was die eerste van sy soort, maar belowe om ‘n jaarlikse instelling te word.

Verrigtinge is Saterdagoggend

afgeskop met ‘n praatjie oor aasvoëls, ‘n spesie wat se belangrikheid in die natuur dikwels onderskat word. Mnr. David Pretorius, ‘n nasionale voëlringer, het die praatjie aangebied. Hy is ook sedert 1996 betrokke by die Blouberg Natuurreservaat se Aasvoël-projek.

Blouberg Natuurreservaat is tans aan die voorpunt van die bewaring van hierdie voëlsoort.

Die reservaat het meer as 10 jaar gelede ‘n projek begin waarin plaaslike gemeenskappe betrek en vergoed word ten opsigte Hier en daar moes ´n helpende hand gegee word sodat die aasvoël-broeikolonie deur die teleskope van die bewaring van aasvoëls. gesien kon word .... dankie tog vir ´n ouboet.

Besoekers is ook getrakteer op ‘n besoek aan die aasvoëlrestaurant, waar karkasse vir die aasvoëls uitgegooi word, op die reservaat.

SPECIAL!

A local vet had many helping hands in the form of seven young Canadian vet nurses who enjoyed their first exposure to wildlife.

Local veterinarian Dr Gerhard Klopper of Blouberg Animal Clinic in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) took the group with him for 10 days in order for them to gain experience in large-animal care and especially in working with wild animals.

The young women, between the ages of 21 and 26 years, are from Edmonton in Alberta, Canada, and they had graduated in May this year as animal health technologists from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.

“In South Africa, they would call us vet nurses,” they explained. “In Canada at our animal clinics, we see mainly cats and dogs,” said Leah Squarok.

Apart from Amy Demchuk, who works with horses, the others see only small animals at their clinics.

They are Leah, Kaylie Penner, Brittany Whittemore, Rachel MacLeod and Danielle Belanger, with Sara Gouldson still looking for a job.

“All our jobs gave us time off for the South African experience and will take us back,” said Kaylie.

And what a busy time they had … On their first day, they tended to buffalo and sable antelope and moved nyalas. The next day they tested buffaloes for diseases, moved them and tended to a sable antelope in Musina. They then travelled to Thsipise, Pontdrift and Dendron, followed by catching

Prior to the handing over of the books, the schools had the opportunity to travel to a Rotary facility in Johannesburg where they could select the books needed. Twenty-two of the 52 schools in the Nzhelele area were involved in the project.

For some it’s their only weekly meal For many, it is the first and only proper meal that they receive in a week.

The beneficiaries of this meal, sponsored by Meals on Wheels in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), are all toddlers, some of them still in diapers.

The funding for this project is scant and with the cruel economic situation that they have to cope with, Meals on Wheels’ manager, Ms Karien Honeycomb, finds herself relying on private donations more and more. But even these are scarce.

Honeycomb explained that even though Meals on Wheels is a welfare service aimed at help-

ing the elderly, she decided to rather focus on schools, due to teetering food donations.

During a visit to some of the 20 rural pre-primary schools that they visit weekly, the Zoutpansberger experienced the dire circumstances of these schools firsthand.

On Thursday, 30 August, three schools, namely Makhita, Madaheni and Christ the King, in the Kutama area were visited.

On a good day, each school accommodates between 30 and 50 children. These schools receive no government help or grants and were instituted to help mothers who have to travel far for

employment.

Conditions at most schools are miserable at best. While some are operated from private homes, some only consist of one-roomed buildings. Toilet facilities at some of the schools fill one with horror. One school only had a hole in the ground for a toilet.

Smiling children still come running, however, when the Meals on Wheels team pulls up at a school. Increased funding, in the form of mealie meal or vegetables, will enable the team to continue with their projects.

For more information, Honey- One of the toddlers with the plate of mince and pasta that they received from the Meals on Wheels comb can be contacted at Tel 072 team in Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

177 3286.

Three homeless people from Makhado (Louis Trichardt) received much-needed help during a charity drive at the local Absa branch last week. The donation was made possible by the generosity of the bank’s employees, in partnership with Pep Stores and the Minister of Blankets, Mr Amie Chhaya. “We were so touched by the plight of these destitute people that we decided to do something to assist them,” said Happy Ralinala, Absa’s Northern Region Executive.

Photographed during the hand over were in front, from left to right, Tongai Nyatni, Washington Msipa and Hon Madhange. At the back are Patricia Tshivhidzo, Grace Rashalaha (Pep Stores), Kenneth Manavhela, David Makananise, Louise Diener, Tshilidzi Mudau and Amie Chhaya.

These, believe it or not, are the toilet facilities at one of the pre-primary schools in the Kutama area. Boys and girls have to share this open toilet The Meals on Wheels team of Ms Karien because there is simply not enough money to Honeycomb busy handing out pasta and mince build a proper toilet. to needy schools in the Kutama area.

verantwoordelikheid. Daar was ‘n wonderlike gees van samewerking tussen die jeugleiers. Ons kan amper sê dat die interkerklike jeugforum wat tevore bestaan het, weer opgestaan het met ‘n nuwe aanslag,” sê pastoor Francois Strydom van Shammah Bedieninge, waar die vergadering gehou is.

Die jeugleiers se eerste projek is die Iuvenis Festival op 12 en 13 Oktober (sien kalenderblad).

“Die jeug van die dorp het soveel potensiaal.

Ons glo dat hierdie fees ‘n ‘katalisator gebeurtenis’ sal wees om eenheid tussen kerke en jeugleiers te bevorder en die jeug weer by hul kerke betrokke te kry,” sê die jeugleiers.

Zoè Akademie is ook reeds genooi om by die fees betrokke te wees. Buiten die fees gaan Zoè Akademie ook op 13 Oktober ‘n slypskool saam met die jeugleiers hou oor die onderwerp “Hoe om die dorp se jeug te bereik.”

Zoè Akademie is ‘n instansie wat jongmense oplei met die klem op individuele bedieningsontwikkeling.

Die NG Kerk Soutpansberg se jaarlikse Lentefees het vanjaar gespog met ´n nuutjie in die vorm van ´n jeugfees die aand om die dag se verrigtinge af te sluit.

Johanna Breytenbach (regs) was die gelukkige wenner van ´n kinderstootwaentjie wat by Nappy & Babby King in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) uitgeloot is. Haar prys is Vrydag, 31 Augustus, aan haar oorhandig deur die winkel se bestuurder, Vicky Wilders.

in the water supply results in poor meter readings.

“There are even readings of air, as confirmed by the technical director. The municipality has no means of separating the reading of the air flow compared to the water. We should stop paying,” the executive committee (exco) of the concerned group said.

The meeting with the mayor, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, took place on 29 August. “The mayor mentioned the six new boreholes, but he had no information on the equipping of the boreholes or the connection to the mainline. We expected that he would call the technical director,” the chairperson of the MCG, Mr Lawrence Makatu, said after the meeting.

That same evening, the group’s exco and some of their members met with a panel of the local AfriForum branch. “We are not going to be intimidated by politicians. It is our right to get services,” said exco member Mr John Madzhie at the meeting. He also referred to the electricity that is more expensive than in Thulamela and told the meeting that the mayor had promised that consumers would soon be able to buy pre-paid electricity from chain stores.

The concerned group and the local AfriForum branch have forged an alliance in their battle to get the services that they pay for. “Our rights are being abused by those in power,” Mr Dave Patel of AfriForum said.

Concerning the MCG’s view of non-payment until the water supply is continuous, Madzhie said that the mayor had told them to write a memorandum to Council in that regard. “The concerned group is mobilising residents to join in a march to hand over the memorandum,” said Makatu.

The group told the mayor that they would go to court. They support AfriForum in their legal actions. “All parties agreed to meet again in two weeks’ time to organise the march to the municipality,” Makatu said.

“Our view is that we should stop paying until such time as we have an uninterrupted water supply. If the supply is not continuous, it is not fair for us to pay,” the Makhado Concerned Group (MCG) told the mayor of the Makhado Municipality.

Church News

Walls between pastors broken down “Walls need to be broken down in order to relate to each other,” said Pastor Thomas Nwayila at a church-planting and development fellowship at Shamma Ministries in Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

Shammah Ministries hosted the fellowship meeting on 25 August, with pastors from local congregations who form part of the Shammah Church-Planting

and Development Network.

“The purpose of the network is to equip and to build capacity regarding skills and knowledge in order to enhance church growth at congregations with a lack of resources. Each pastor needs to create a legacy in his church and raise sons who will help with building the church,” said Shammah’s senior pastor, Pastor Francois Strydom, who discussed

the responsibility of becoming a mentor and apostle to others in the church.

Since last year, when the network originated spontaneously, some of the churches have already experienced growth in membership and service attendance. “This fellowship is not for material benefit, but for brotherly fellowship-sharing experience,” Past Revis Mzimba said.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

H

eb. 12:14 sê: “Beywer julle vir die vrede met alle mense asook vir ‘n heilige lewe waarsonder niemand die Here sal sien nie.”

Vrede in ons verhouding met mense, en ‘n heilige lewe in ons gemeenskap met God. Wanneer ‘n heilige lewe genoem word, word bygevoeg: “Waarsonder niemand die Here sal sien nie.”

Ons verhouding met ons medemens staan in die nouste verband met ons verhouding met God. In die bergrede verbind Jesus hulle met mekaar. Matt.

5:8-9 sê: “Geseënd is die wat rein van hart is, want hulle sal God sien. Geseënd is die vredemakers, want hulle sal kinders van God genoem word.” Dit is God se wil dat ons vrede soek en dit najaag.

1 Petrus 3:11 sê: “... soek vrede en jaag dit na.” Net so heiligmaking ook. Ons kan net in Christus Jesus heilig wees.

Lees 1 Kor. 1:30. Hoe meer ons aan Christus gelykvormig word, hoe heiliger sal ons lewe. Jesus wil dit vir ons doen, ons heilig maak.

Heb. 10:9 sê: “Kyk Ek kom ... om U wil te doen.” Heb 10:10 sê: “Deur hierdie wil is ons geheilig.” Heiligmaking is die ingaan en doen van God se wil. Heb. 12:10: “Hy tug ons sodat ons in Sy heiligheid mag deel.” God wil ons van ons eie wil losmaak en ons leer om ons oë op Jesus te hou soos Heb. 12:2 sê.

Baie mense dink regverdigmaking is deur geloof en heiligmaking deur werke.

Dit is nie so nie. Regverdigmaking en heiligmaking is albei deur geloof.

Depressie is wel ‘n mediese probleem Depressie is ‘n nie ‘n toestand om oor skaam te voel nie.

“Hoekom is mense met diabetes nie skaam daaroor nie?

Depressie is ‘n mediese toestand waar daar ‘n gebrek aan oor­drag­ stowwe in die brein voorkom.

Dit is nie aansittery nie, dit is ‘n werklike mediese probleem,” sê dr. Cathryn Maritz, ‘n psigiater en bekende van die omgewing.

Maritz was een van die spre­ kers by die stigtingsvergadering van die depressie ondersteuningsgroep op 13 Augustus in Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

Sy het genoem dat depressie die nommer een oorsaak van ongeskiktheid vir werk is, terwyl dit voorheen aansteeklike siektes en motorongelukke was.

Maritz het ‘n erge depressie beskryf as ‘n gemoedstoestand gekenmerk deur ‘n neerslagtige en/of ‘n geïrriteerde gemoed

wat minstens twee weke aanhou en nog ten minste vyf kenmerke insluit, waaronder lus-vir-niks (anhedonie), energieverlies, konsentrasieverlies, en verandering in eetlus en slaappatroon.

“Enige chroniese mediese toestand kan tot depressie lei en dan is daar omgewingsfaktore, genetiese faktore en stressore , soos die verlies van ‘n lewensmaat of ‘n kind. Jy kan nie vir iemand sê ‘ruk jou reg’ nie.

Neem dit ook baie ernstig op as ‘n depressielyer sê dat hy homself om die lewe gaan bring,” het Maritz gesê.

Wat medikasie vir depressie betref, het dr. Maritz gesê dat wat vir een persoon goed is, nie noodwendig vir ‘n ander persoon goed werk nie. Dit neem sewe tot 14 dae voordat medikasie ‘n effek toon.

“By chroniese depressie is

daar soms meer as een soort medikasie nodig. Jy moet vir ses maande nadat jy beter voel, nog steeds behandel word. Indien ‘n erge depressie met psigose en selfmoordneigings gepaard gaan, moet die persoon verkieslik lewenslank behandel word,” het Maritz gesê. Die groep van meer as 20 mense het vrae gevra en Maritz kon baie onsekerhede uit die weg ruim. Lede van die groep het ook baie bydraes gelewer.

“Ken die siekte; kry soveel inligting as moontlik, want niemand gaan na ‘n oorlog toe sonder kennis van sy vyand nie,” het me. Suzette Reid gesê.

Tydens die groepsessie het die behoefte vir ondersteuning van die familie en vriende van ‘n depressielyer sterk na vore gekom.

Die volgende vergadering is op 10 September. Vir navrae, skakel 082 358 1738 of 072 262 8646.

Kleuters van die Aralita Versorgingsoord net buite Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het verlede Vrydag die koms van lente gevier deur ´n piekniek te hou. Daar is in styl afgesit bosveld toe, waar daar feesgevier is onder die doringbome.

Vir die jongklomp was daar heelwat “sports” tydens die NG Kerk Soutpansberg se jaarlikse Lentefees die afgelope naweek. Die verfbalbaan het veral baie aftrek geniet. Hier is die gemeente se ds. Rudolph Botha besig om vir die jongspan die reëls te verduidelik, voordat hulle op mekaar losgebrand het.

Die O/16-meisies krieketspan van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt is die wenners van die liga.

Triegies bly onoorwonne in O/16-liga Die O/16-meisies krieketspan van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt is weer die wenners van die liga. Hierdie wisseltrofee behoort al amper aan die skool, aangesien hulle sedert die ontstaan van die liga in 2007 nog elke jaar die beker inpalm.

Die finaal is op 1 September teen Hoërskool Merensky op Capricorn se velde in Polo­ kwane gespeel.

Vroeër in die seisoen het die Triegies twee keer teen Meren-

sky te staan gekom, waarvan hulle een wedstryd met ses lopies verloor het en die tweede een met vyf paaltjies gewen het.

In die finaal het die Triegies met ses paaltjies gewen.

“Dit was ‘n 35-beurt wedstryd. Hulle het die loot gewen en ons ingestuur om veldwerk te doen. In die 12de beurt het ons hulle almal uitgehaal vir 39 lopies. Die kinders het so mooi geboul!” sê afrigter Cronnie Cronjé.

Triegies het gaan kolf en in

Agt paaltjie-wen teen Tom Naudé Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se O/15 seuns­ krieketspan klop Tom Naudé oortuigend met agt paaltjies.

Die O/15’s het op 25 Augustus op hul tuisveld teen Tom Naudé te staan gekom. Triegies wen die loot en stuur Tom Naude in om te kolf. Hulle haal die Tommies uit vir 83 lopies in 19 boulbeurte.

Louis Trichardt se boulers wat goed gevaar het met die bal was Pieter Guillaume, met die uitstekende boulsyfer van drie paaltjies vir vier lopies, Philip Apea-Adu (twee paaltjies vir 19 lopies), AC Geldenhuys (twee vir 20) en MJ Botha (twee vir 22).

Triegies teken 87 lopies aan in 10.2 boulbeurte vir die verlies van slegs twee paaltjies. Die beste kolwers van Triegies was Juan Phillips met 40 lo­pies (n. u. n.) en AC Geldenhuys met 29 lopies.

Die span het groot waardering vir mnr. Gert van der Westhuizen van Madi Gra Water vir die koeldrank, water en ys wat hy geskenk het.

Young Khaif Patel from Eltivillas Primary scored an impressive 105 not out in a cricket match against Louis Trichardt Primary on Tuesday. What makes this innings remarkable is the fact that young Khaif only recently turned nine and he was playing in a team consisting of older players, some of whom are 12 and 13 years old. To top off a fine afternoon, young Khaif also took six wickets when he was brought on to bowl.
