Develop and be damned?

Makhado Municipality tight-lipped over service infrastructure installation in controversial “Green Belt” area (Read article P2) The Makhado Municipality confirmed last week that the current process of debushing the area north of Stubbs Street in Louis Trichardt’s controversial “Green Belt” area is for the installation of service infrastructure for Extension 9. Follow-up questions regarding what the project entails remained unanswered this week. What could be determined is that this project is a combined Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (CoGHSTA) and Makhado Municipality project for the provision of 420 house connections.

Makhado’s “secret” project next to Stubbs Street has everyone, including the developer, guessing

By Andries van Zyl The Makhado Municipality seems to have opted for a “develop-and-be damned” approach by beginning to install service infrastructure in Louis Trichardt’s controversial “Green Belt” area north of Stubbs Street. In the past, residents and environmentalists have vehemently opposed attempts to develop the area.

For the past two weeks, since workers were first spotted denuding the area and digging trenches, the Zoutpansberger has struggled to get information about the project from the Makhado Municipality. On Friday, 25 March, Makhado Municipality’s spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, was asked to explain what was going on.

Only a week later, on 1 April, and after several follow-up requests to respond, did Bobodi comment. “The debushing is being done by the municipality as a layout preparation for the installation of service infrastructure for Extension 9,” Bobodi merely stated.

On Monday morning, a list of questions was sent to Bobodi asking him to elaborate on his comment. The newspaper wanted to know,

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe “En Jesus het met ‘n groot stem uitgeroep en gesê: Vader, in u hande gee Ek my Gees oor.”

Lukas 23:46.

O

ns staan nou by die kruisiging van Jesus. Dit is vir ons heilige grond.

“Vader, in u hande gee Ek my Gees oor”! kom dit van sy sterwende lippe.

Dit was ‘n gebed tot God. Hy neem die lieflike woord van “Vader” op sy lippe, want ná die ondervinding van sielsverlatenheid rus Jesus in soete gemeenskap op die bors van sy hemelse Vader.

Hy het ons geleer hoe om te lewe, maar ook hoe om te sterwe. Hy wys ons om die dood in kinderlike vertroue op God tegemoet te gaan en ons gelowig in sy hande te stel.

Die laaste kruiswoord was nie net ‘n gebed nie, maar ook ‘n Skrifwoord. Dit kom uit Psalm 31:6. Jesus het geleef uit die Woord van God. Tydens sy omwandeling op aarde haal Hy gedurig woorde uit die Ou Testament aan en nou, by sy sterwe, vind Hy nog steeds troos daarin.

Die laaste kruiswoord is ook ‘n oorwinningskreet. Niemand het sy lewe van Hom geneem nie, maar Hy het dit vrywillig afgelê. Hy het sy gees in die hande van die Vader oorgegee. Hy het triomferend verder gegaan.

Kind van God, as jou tyd aangebreek het om van die aardse toneel afskeid te neem, moenie vrees nie. Hy het ‘n plek vir jou berei. As die lewe vir jou Christus is, is die sterwe wins. Die weg van die kruis is die weg van lig.

- Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

among other things, if the development was self-funded or being done by private developers.

If private developers are doing this, who are they and did they follow the necessary procedures, such as conducting an environmental impact assessment (EIA)? We also pointed out that a local company called Day Break Properties 7 (Pty) Ltd (DBP7) had been awarded the tender (Tender 47 of 2004) to develop the area at a purchase price of R15,3 million. The development proposal includes a large shopping centre, a 150-bed hotel, and an office complex. Regarding this, Bobodi was asked if the current activities on the site formed part of DBP7’s development. He was also asked if they foresaw any opposition from environmental groups and/or legal complications with the current process of installing service infrastructure on the site.

Bobodi was requested to respond to these questions before the close of business on Tuesday, 5 April. By Wednesday morning, no response had been received and Bobodi was again asked if he could respond by 10:00. To this, Bobodi replied: “I am sorry, I am unable to.”

His response begged the question: What games are the Makhado Municipality playing now and why the secrecy? When the Zoutpansberger last wrote about the proposed DBP7 development in the specific area in April 2016, the newspaper had to wait three months for a response.

What is clear, however, is that the current activities on the site have nothing to do with DBP7. This was confirmed in an interview with the company’s sole director, Mr Vino Ramjee, on Tuesday.

“This development is news to us. According to our Deed of Sale, all infrastructure inside the boundary is for our expense. Nobody contacted us. What they are doing there is done without our consent. They have actually contravened the EIA already because they are just bulldozing everything. We are responsible for everything that happens inside the area,” said Ramjee. He added that they had already instituted legal proceedings against the municipality. “We already appointed two advocates. One is an expert on contract law and the other an expert on suing.

I have already sent them the legal papers,” said Ramjee. The advocate’s first order of business will be to apply for a court interdict to prevent the project from continuing. “That is the only way,” said Ramjee.

DBP7 signed the Deed of Sale for the property with the former municipal manager of the

Makhado Municipality, Ms Faith Muthambi, on 27 November 2006. The company was given approval to go ahead with their proposed development in December 2012. Since then, the project has become dormant. The reason for this, Ramjee said, is the municipality’s inability to supply them with the electricity they need for the project. In the past, the Makhado Municipality communicated to them that they could not proceed with the development because of an insufficient electricity supply. In the meantime, said Ramjee, their project was side-lined by other major projects such as the upgrading of the Makhado Crossing Mall into a regional mall by the Masingita Group of Companies and the Bridge/Ford development next to the N1.

“Everybody got electricity despite them [the municipality] giving us a letter that we are first on the list as priority to get electricity,” said Ramjee.

This inability of the Makhado Municipality to supply them with electricity, and bureaucratic red tape, later caused major investment partners in the project, such as the Moolman Group, to withdraw their support. “My attorney wrote them a letter two months back, requesting them about when we will get electricity?” said Ramjee.

He apparently received no reply.

Why, then, would the Makhado Municipality not acknowledge Ramjee’s claim to develop the area? By Ramjee’s own admission, they have not paid a cent for the property since the Deed of Sale was signed. The reason for this, Ramjee said, was because of an addendum to the Deed of Sale that stipulated that they would only pay the R15,3 million (for which they had secured two bank guarantees for R17 million) when the municipality was able to supply them with electricity. This never happened. However, the Makhado Municipality did, according to Ramjee, start charging them rates and taxes on the property since the Deed of Sale was signed.

These rates and taxes, totalling more than R2 million, were also not paid by Ramjee. “The rates and taxes are in the name of DBP7, but how do you pay rates and taxes on a property that is not transferred to you?” said Ramjee. He said that with the municipality’s charging them rates and taxes, they acknowledged them (DBP7) as the owners of the property, for which Ramjee had applied for an extension of their initial 2015 EIA approval, which was granted by the Department of Development, Environment and Tourism and extended to 13 November 2023. At present, Ramjee said, they already have another major investor lined up for their proposed develop-

ment. “We are just finalising the financial agreements,” said Ramjee. He clearly has everything to lose if his development does not take place.

Well-known local environmentalist Ms Inga Gilfillan is also very upset about the current developments. “I would like to see their [the municipality’s] EIA,” said Gilfillan. She said that what was of great concern to her was that when one destroys one part of a “Green Belt” area, all areas lower down are doomed. “The trees there act as pollution and sound barrier between residents and the N1,” said Gilfillan. Removing them would be disastrous, she said. “Private people, like those involved in establishing the Western Soutpansberg conservation area, do everything in their power to conserve. Then the government comes and destroys everything … They have done everything to destroy Louis Trichardt’s “Green Belt” area. First by allowing the Ford-development, then by erecting a fence around the tree park, and now allowing the development of the area north of Stubbs Street. They will not stop until everything is destroyed,” said Gilfillan. She urged residents to fight the proposed development of the area.

“Fighting” the current process of development might be harder than one might think. Firstly, the area was already promulgated as part of Louis Trichardt’s town-planning scheme in 1984.

When the development was Gazetted on 9 May that year, the “new” sites in Extension 9 allowed for 179 residential erven, five parks and streets.

Something different, however, seems to be planned for the area.

In the absence of transparency regarding the development by the Makhado Municipality, the Zoutpansberger had to find alternative means to find out what was going on. The development seems to be a combined Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs and Makhado Municipality project awarded to Rhandzo Projects (Pty) Ltd under contract number COGHSTAB19/18-19FY24. The contract description reads: “Conduct geotechnical investigation, design and install engineering services (water and sewer reticulation, grading of all roads, fire-hydrants and provision for house connections) for 420 sites.” The problem of how they will manage to fit in 420 erven in an area initially designed for 179 erven has many people wondering if this site will actually be for “lowcost” housing.

The initial plan for the area as Gazetted on 9 May 1984 was for the establishment of 179 residential erven, five parks and streets. The Makhado Municipality apparently now wants to up this number to 420 households, which fact has people wondering if this area will be for “low-cost” housing.

Seun se dood laat ma met baie vrae Deur Andries van Zyl Die raaiselagtige dood van ‘n jong man van Musina, die 27-jarige Henrie Mans, vervul sy ma met woede en laat baie vrae in haar gemoed.

Mans se ma, Soekie Kock (ook van Musina), het Dinsdag gesukkel om die trane terug te hou terwyl sy vertel het van haar seun, haar enigste kind, se dood.

Volgens Soekie het ‘n vriend van haar seun hom die oggend van 31 Maart net voor 05:30 kom oplaai. Haar seun was werkloos en het los werkies aanvaar waar hy kon. “Hy het hom gereeld kom oplaai om hom te gaan help,” het Soekie gesê. Dié keer sou hulle iemand op ‘n plaas gaan help om water te pomp.

Volgens Soekie het sy haar seun vlugtig weer die middag gesien. “Die middag was hy vinnig by die huis. Al wat hy vir my gesê het, was dat hulle nog net twee watertenks het om vol te maak, dan kom hy huis toe,” het Soekie gesê. Sy het die storie daar gelos. “Want die ou kom tel hom altyd op en bring hom weer huis toe. Ek het aangeneem hy sal my seun net weer huis toe bring soos gewoonlik,” het Soekie gesê.

Om 22:04 die aand het Soekie ‘n Please Call Me van haar seun gekry.

“Ek het dit nie dadelik gesien nie, want ek het al geslaap. Toe ek hom probeer terugbel, toe is sy foon af. Ek het aangeneem hy wou laat weet hulle gaan langer besig wees en miskien was sy battery pap toe ek hom geskakel het. Hy luister gewoonlik musiek op sy foon. So, ek het my nie veel daaraan gesteur nie,” het Soekie gesê.

Soekie sê sy het in die nag opgestaan en gesien Henrie het nie geëet nie. “Ek het aangeneem hy het ingekom en gaan slaap sonder om te eet, omdat hy moeg was, steeds onder die indruk dat sy vriend hom huis toe gebring het soos altyd.”

Die oggend van 1 April het Soekie se lewe egter in duie gestort. “Twee minute voor sewe het my honde begin blaf. Ek het opgestaan om te gaan kyk hoekom blaf hulle. Dit is toe ek die polisievoertuig voor my huis sien staan.”

Soekie het dadelik haar huis se sleutels gegryp en uitgegaan. “Ek het Henrie se vriend saam met die polisie sien staan. Daar was ook ‘n ander ou

saam met hom. Ek het vir die vriend gevra ‘Waar is my kind!?’ Hy het sy rug op my gedraai en na die oorkant van die pad gekyk. Ek het weer vir hom gevra: ‘Waar is my kind!?’ Toe antwoord hy my vir ‘n tweede keer nie. Die derde keer toe skreeu ek amper vir hom: ‘Waar is my kind!?’” het Soekie gesê.

Intussen het Soekie se boetie uit die huis gestap gekom. Eers toe het Henrie se vriend haar die skoknuus meegedeel. “Hy het gesê: ‘Tannie, daar was ‘n ongeluk. Henrie is oorlede’. Hy het ook vir my gesê Henrie het net ‘n wond aan sy agterkop gehad,” het Soekie gesê.

Dit het aan die lig gekom dat Henrie reeds die vorige aand dood aangetref is op die Musina/ Tshipise-pad en dat dit blykbaar die einste vriend was wat Henrie kom oplaai het wat op sy lyk afgekom het. Sy beursie, selfoon, en sigaretaansteker was by hom gevind. Net sy huis- en bakkiesleutels was vermis. Soekie het antwoorde gesoek.

“Die man wat saam met Henrie se vriend daar gestaan het, het toe afgehaak en vir ons gesê: ‘Kalmeer julle, dan bel ons julle later en dan vertel ons julle alles,’” het Soekie gesê. Henrie se vriend, dié se maat en die twee polisiebeamptes is toe daar weg

by Soekie se huis.

Soekie het dadelik gaan aantrek en polisiestasie toe gery. Daar is sy meegedeel dat haar seun se liggaam na Thohoyandou geneem is vir ‘n outopsie. Sy het toe haar seun se vriend geskakel en gevra of hy haar sou gaan wys waar haar seun dood is en haar na die lykshuis in Thohoyandou sou neem om haar seun se liggaam uit te ken. “Hy het gesê dit is reg, maar het later teruggeskakel en gesê hy gaan nie meer nie.” Dit was ook die laaste kontak wat sy met die vriend, asook die ander man wat saam met hom en die polisie by haar huis was, sou hê oor wat presies gebeur het. Soekie sê die vriend het wel beweer Henrie het hom omstreeks 22:00 die noodlottige aand meegedeel het dat hy solank pad toe gaan stap want sy ma sou hom kom haal. Dit, het Soekie gesê, is beslis nie waar nie.

Die outopsie is Maandag gedoen en volgens die polisie, het Soekie gesê, is haar seun dood vanweë ‘n hou teen die agterkop, blykbaar met ‘n skerp voorwerp. Hy het ook, volgens Soekie, kneusmerke aan sy gesig gehad en snye aan sy hande, asof hy probeer keer het vir iets.

“My seun is nie beroof nie, hy is vermoor. Ek weet nie of hy êrens anders vermoor is en sy liggaam later in die pad gegooi is nie,” het Soekie gesê. Al wat Soekie wil hê, is antwoorde oor wat gebeur het en nie hoe haar seun dood is.

“Ek was baie kwaad. Die eerste twee dae het ek glad nie gehuil nie, omdat ek hierdie woede in my gehad het,” het Soekie gesê. Sy het bygevoeg dat sy pertinent vir Henrie se vriend gevra het of ‘n bakleiery op die plaas voorgekom het. “Hy het vir my gesê nee, glad nie,” het Soekie gesê.

Soekie het baie vrae. Volgens haar het die vriend wat haar seun kom oplaai het se gedrag ook verander. “Hoekom wou hy my nie vat om my te gaan wys waar my seun dood is nie?

Hoekom het die vriend my nie gebel om seker te maak ek kom ‘haal’ vir Henrie nie, want hy het my nommer? Hy weet ek ry nie daardie tyd van die aand nie. Hoekom het hy my nie die vorige aand geskakel toe hulle op Henrie se liggaam afgekom het nie?” is van die vrae wat Soekie haarself afvra. Vanaf 1 April, het Soekie gesê, antwoord niemand haar nie, ook nie enige iemand op die plaas waar haar seun gaan werk het nie. “Ek sê nie dit was hulle nie, maar daar was meer mense op die plaas as net hulle, en

“Ek weet my seun is dood.

Ek het hom gesien, maar ek kan dit nog nie aanvaar nie”

meer as een mens is betrokke,” het Soekie gesê.

Haar suspisies word aangevuur deur die feit dat die man wat Vrydagoggend saam met die vriend by haar huis was blykbaar reeds ‘n prokureur gaan sien het.

“Ek weet nie watter kant toe nie. Dit is nog nie vir my ‘n realiteit nie. Ek weet my seun is dood. Ek het hom gesien, maar ek kan dit nog nie aanvaar nie. My seun het sy hele lewe lank by my gebly. As ma en seun het ons maar ons verskille gehad, maar hy was my hele lewe,” het Soekie gesê.

Provinsiale polisie woordvoerder brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo het Woensdag by navraag bevestig dat die polisie ‘n saak van moord ondersoek, maar dat nog geen arrestasies in verband met die voorval gemaak is nie. Die polisieondersoek duur egter voort en hy het enige iemand wat inligting het oor die aand se gebeure versoek om die ondersoekbeampte in die saak, speursersant Rudzani Rambuwani, te skakel by tel. 076 476 7520.

Alternatiewelik kan hulle die polisie se 086 001 0111 skakel of hulle naaste polisiestasie besoek.

around potholes in the road, which means a deeper problem, such as the possible existence of water underneath the road’s surface. For motorists travelling this potholed road, this could mean the difference between life and death.

RAL spokesperson Mr Maropeng Manyathela confirmed that they had secured a total of R24 million to fund the long-awaited project. “Local community members and motorists have raised concerns about the condition of this road for some time,” he said.

As far as the new project is concerned, Manyathela promised that local people would also be used during the construction process. “They will also be empowered with the skills they will use to provide for themselves after the completion of the six-month project,” he said.

A local taxi driver, Mr Idani Mugwedi, who operates between Louis Trichardt and Sinthumule on a daily basis, said that the poor condition of

the road had been a cause of concern for himself and other local community members. “We really welcome this project with open arms because we have been waiting long. Besides prolonging the lifespan of our vehicles, it will make our lives easier as we will be able to move from one place to another easily.

This makes us very happy and

thankful,” said Mugwedi.

Mr Rudzani Mafunisa, a resident in the area, expressed his unhappiness about the state of the road. “Residents had reached out to RAL for intervention. The government officials misuse the taxpayers’ money by doing shoddy jobs and the contractors benefit for themselves and forget about the

community. The potholes are deep, and when it rains, they get deeper and more dangerous as they are covered with water, which makes it hard to spot the holes when you drive,” Mafunisa said. “The potholes here have become shallow graves that damage vehicles. Even worse, they take lives,” he said.

The D959 road leading to Sinthumule has deteriorated to such an extent that it poses a risk to motorists.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het die voorblad van die Zoutpansberger van 4 April 1997 weer bestaan uit ‘n allegaartjie van nuusgebeure.

Soos elke jaar steeds die geval is, het Paasnaweek daardie jaar ook sy tol op die streek se paaie geëis wat motorongelukke betref.

Drie mense in ‘n minibus-taxi is onthoof ná ‘n botsing op die N1 suid van Louis Trichardt. Hierdie was een van talle ongelukke daardie naweek op plaaslike paaie. In totaal is 158 ongelukke daardie naweek op Limpopo se paaie aangemeld, wat die lewens van 27 mense geëis het.

In ander hoofnuus daardie week is berig van insp. Koos Venter van die Misdaadvoorkomingseenheid op Louis Trichardt wat saam met sy twee dogters deur gewapende rowers aangehou is. Venter het sy twee dogter by sy skoonma gaan aflaai. Hy en sy oudste dogter was besig om die jongste uit sy voertuig te help, toe hy deur twee mans genader is. Een van die mans het ‘n wapen uitgepluk en dit teen Venter se jongste dogter se kop gedruk. Venter het die pistool van sy kind se kop weggestamp, waarna die man ‘n skoot op Venter afgevuur het. Die koeël het deur sy hemp getrek en naelskraaps sy bors gemis. Venter is hierna beveel om sy handradio en dienspistool aan hulle te oorhandig.

Hulle het ook sy voertuig sleutels gevra. Venter het egter sy sleutels onder sy voertuig inge-

gooi. Weer het die twee mans gedreig om die Venter-familie te skiet, maar blykbaar van plan verander en eerder te voet op die vlug geslaan.

Op ‘n ligter noot is ook berig van die eier wat binne ‘n eier gekry is, en nee, dit was nie ‘n Aprilgek-grap nie. Me. Alida Barnard van Louis Trichardt kon haar oë nie glo nie toe sy ‘n eier breek en ‘n tweede, kleiner eier daarin vind nie. Later sou blyk dat alhoewel hierdie verskynsel baie raar is, dit wel kan voorkom.

FN 350 steals the show at vintage motor and -motorcycle outing A group of vintage motor and -motorcycle enthusiasts visited Avoca Vale hotel on Sunday for a quick brunch. The star of the day was definitely this FN 350, dating from 1934, belonging to Louis Trichardt resident Roger de Troch. The Belgium-based manufacturer, Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN), is perhaps better known as a firearms manufacturer, but it produced its first motorcycle in 1901. The 350cc engine gained a reputation as one of the most reliable drive units ever produced. In 1927, two French army officers, Captain Bruneteau and Lieutenant-Colonel Gimie, and a Belgian mechanic, Joseph Weerens, rode identical 350 FN M70s across the Sahara Desert. The motorcycles crossed the desert without problems and scored the signature “Sahara” name. Roger can testify as to the reliability of this amazing motorcycle. In 1996, he drove to Richards Bay and back with the FN, without experiencing any serious problems. The FN also had no problem on Sunday to tackle the road up the mountain. Behind the FN are two Austin-Healey Sprites and a Haflinger.

Tweede wen vir Len in koerant se foto-kompetisie Kompetisie Een ding is seker, as die kwaliteit van die foto’s wat ingestuur word vir die Zoutpans-

berger se fotokalender-kompetisie so goed bly, gaan die koerant vanjaar een van sy mooiste fotokalenders ooit publiseer.

Die probleem van so baie goeie kwaliteitfoto’s

is dat die kies van ‘n wenner baie moeilik is. Wat Maart se inskrywings betref was dit weer die geval, maar ‘n wenner moes aangewys word. Januarie se wenner, Len

Len Dames se weninskrywing. Hy het hierdie foto van ‘n breëkoparend met sy Canon EOS 6D geneem met ‘n 150 tot 600 mm lens met ‘n lensopening van F6.3 teen 1/3200 van ‘n sekonde op 2 000 ISO.

Dames, het weer met die louere weggestap. Uiteindelik was die tegniese versorging van sy foto (sien meegaande foto) wat skerpheid, beligting, komposisie en moeilikheidsgraad van neem betref beter as die res. Vir sy moeite wen hy R600 as wenner van Maart se kompetisie.

Anders as in die verlede kan die streek se fotograwe vanjaar regdeur die jaar vir die koerant se kalenderfotokompetisie inskryf. Die inskrywings vir April is reeds oop. Fotograwe sal tot en met die laaste week van elke maand hulle foto’s vir daardie maand kan inskryf en ‘n wenfoto sal vir elk van die 12 maande gekies word. ‘n Maksimum van vyf foto’s per fotograaf per maand kan ingestuur word, maar fotograwe kan vir meer as een maand inskryf. Oudergewoonte soek ons na daardie spesiale foto wat die uniekheid van die Soutpansberg-streek uitbeeld, van unieke landmerke en besienswaardighede tot die natuurlewe. Die foto moet egter binne die afgelope 24 maande geneem gewees het en moet die fotograaf se eie werk wees. ‘n Prys van R600 sal vir elke maand se wenfoto betaal word. Slegs hoë-resolusie digitale foto’s (verkieslik 16 x 9 landskap-formaat) sal aanvaar word. Die foto’s kan in hoë resolusie per e-pos (een vir een, indien nodig) ge­ stuur word, of op CD of geheuestokkie ingehandig word by die kantore van die Zoutpansberger te Joubertstraat 16B in Louis Trichardt. Elke inskrywing moet vergesel wees van die fotograaf se naam, kontakbesonderhede, waar die foto geneem is en met watter kamera dit geneem is. Selfoonfoto’s is ook toelaatbaar indien die foon oor ‘n goeie kamera beskik. Die 12 wenfoto’s sal aan die einde van die jaar in ‘n groot-formaat muurkalender vir 2023 saamgevat word. Die kalender sal dan onder meer deur die Zoutpansberger gebruik word vir bemarkingsdoeleindes.

Vir meer inligting oor die kompetisie, skakel Andries by tel. 082 603 2419 of 015 516 4997 (tydens kantoorure). Hoë-resolusie foto’s kan ook aan hom gestuur word per e-pos na news@zoutnet.co.za.

Spesiale vermelding: Nog ‘n besonderse inskrywing van ‘n luiperd deur fotograaf Jana du Plessis. Sy het die foto met haar Canon 250D met 150 tot 600 mm Sigma-lens in die Kruger Nasionale Wildtuin geneem.

Spesiale vermelding: Thea de Waal het hierdie Bosveld-sonsondergang met haar Nikon D850 en Tamron 150 tot 600 mm lens by Satara in die Kruger Nasionale Wildtuin geneem. Haar lensopening was F6.3 teen 1/3200 van ‘n sekonde op 400 ISO.

Die eerste wedstryd skop om 15:00 af, waarna die tweedes om 16:00 op die veld sal draf. Die hoofwedstryd tussen die twee dorpe se eerstespanne skop om 17:30 af. Die voorsitter van die Louis Trichardt Rugbyklub, Kevin Gilbert, het plaaslike ondersteuners gevra om die spanne te kom ondersteun en blou aan te trek. ‘n Kontantkroeg sal beskikbaar wees. Toegang by die hek beloop R30 per voertuig. Foto verskaf.

Die drie spesies wat geteiken is, was karp, baber en kurper, met prysgeld vir die swaarste vis in elke kategorie.

Alhoewel die weer mooi saamgespeel het, was die vissies maar aan die klein kant en het veral die karp gesukkel om te byt. Van links na regs staan die wenners Raymond Bagnall (baber van 2.31 kg), Frans Dercksen (kurper van 500 g) en Rashidul Islam (karp van 2.1 kg). Foto verskaf.

Limpopo Parasport team shine at the 2022 National Championships The Limpopo Province fielded a team of 47 para-athletes in the recent 2022 Toyota SASAPD National Championships that took place in Gauteng from 18 to 22 March, with Limpopo’s junior and senior athletes participating in the para-athletics track and field as well as goalball events.

Limpopo brought back a sizeable medal haul of 38 in total, including 18 gold, nine silver and nine bronze. The junior section of the team came second overall on the medal table out of the nine provinces, and the Limpopo junior and senior combined team won the percentage award (most medals per athletes entered) overall.

The senior athletes’ convenor for the Limpopo Sport Association for the Physically

disabled, Sandy James, mentioned that, given the challenges caused by two years of Covid restrictions, seeing how development of sports for people with disabilities in Limpopo was taking off was very encouraging.

“The team grew from five seniors in 2021 to 20 seniors in the 2022 team, with 27 juniors from various schools and municipal districts in Limpopo, whereas there were no junior participants in 2021,” said Sandy.

Participating at the Germiston Stadium, the senior para-athletic members achieved four golds, four silvers and five bronzes. These seniors have been hard at work, training with the assistance of the Isability Sports Club (also known as the Isability Parasport Federation for Limpopo). Louis Trichardt paralympic medallist Sheryl James accounted for two of the golds (100m and 200m

sprints), while Mathye Madala from Phalaborwa earned gold in the men’s’ wheelchair javelin and Amukelani Makhubela earned gold in the men’s F38 shotput event.

“The senior athletes expressed their gratitude to two local schools in Louis Trichardt in the Vhembe District, Emmanuel Christian School and Louis Trichardt High School, for making their facilities available to them for training in the run-up to the champs,” said James.

Shining for the juniors, the following athletes brought back gold for their province: Ishmael Nkuna (two golds in the U/20 100 m and 200m), Phuti Matlala (U/17 long jump), David Malakapatu (two golds in U/14 wheelchair shotput and discus); Mpho Ngobeni (U/20 javelin); Nonhlanhla Maponya (U/17 100m); Thato Mafeto (two golds in U/17 wheelchair shotput and javelin);
