Greenbelt again up for sale Vrugtevolle week vir Soutpansberg

By Andries van Zyl

A further three portions of Louis Trichardt’s greenbelt area have been earmarked for possible sale and business development. In the past, any attempt to develop any part of the town’s greenbelt area, also known as the town’s bird and tree sanctuary, was met with severe criticism from environmentalists. Such was also the case when well-known local businessman, Mr Rampie Gilfillan, advertised his intention to buy and develop a 2,5ha piece of land in the greenbelt area (next to the town’s cricket fields) for the development of a motor city in the beginning of 2014. After receiving two objections against his proposed development, Gilfillan was eventually given the go-ahead to continue with the development more than a year later, following a protracted environmental authorisation battle. During the 84th Council meeting of the Makhado Municipality on 26 October, notice was given of the proposed sale by private contract of three more portions of Erf 4296, situated west of the N1 between Rissik and Songozwi Street. In all three cases, the developers seek

to buy the properties for business development. The three developers are Mr T E Netshiongolwe (executive director of Viato Projects), Mr H Musandiwa and Messrs J Gilfillan and H Muswobi. Netshiongolwe’s application is the only one indicating what kind of business development he is planning, which includes a McDonald’s restaurant. The proposed sale is, however, far from being a done deal. As part of the proposed sale, Council attached numerous strict conditions that first have to be met by the developers. These, among others, include that such sale be advertised in the local newspaper; that an application for the subdivision of Erf 4296 be submitted for consideration and approval before the determination of market price; that the property be sold at a market related valuation determined by a professional valuer; that an application for the rezoning of the said property to be subdivided be submitted for consideration; that the Department of Limpopo Economic Development, Environment and Tourism be consulted and that comments from the department regarding the subdivision must be submitted together with a rezoning application; that the property be developed within three

years from the date of signing the Deed of Sale, provided that Council may allow an extension of a further two years; and that in the event that the developer failed to complete the development as required, the property revert back to Council without compensation for any improvements on the property. The availability of electricity remains the biggest obstacle facing the three developers. Council, as part of their conditions of sale, highlighted this aspect, stating that as the required capacity is not yet known, an estimated minimum of 100kVA supply may be required in this regard, which cannot be supplied at this stage. “Only a 50kVA capacity can be made available due to the current local capacity constraints for this request. The application will further be subject to a fully motivated written application by the client’s electrical engineer which will be submitted to Council’s senior management for their consideration in the event that more than 50kVA is required. Only a maximum of 50kVA may in any way be considered according to present status of the electricity supply scheme,” Council stated. (Contd on P2)

Meer moet saamstaan teen misdaad Deur Isabel Venter

Limpopo se top polisiehoofde het met groot lof gepraat van Louis Trichardt se aksies om misdaad te voorkom. Volgens die SAPD se adjunk-provinsiale kommissaris, generaal Jan Scheepers, is die samewerking tussen die polisie en plaaslike veiligheidsforums van die beste in die provinsie. Hy het die dorpswag, plaaswag en ander verwante organisasies wat onder die plaaslike gemeenskapsolisiëringsforums val gelukgewens en gevra om voort te bou op hulle goeie werk. Scheepers het gepraat by ‘n gemeenskapsvergadering verlede Donderdag in Louis Trichardt se Ferdie Beyerssaal. Die vergadering is bygewoon deur al die belangrike rolspelers in die veiligheids- en sekuri teitsbedryf wat funksioneer in die Louis Trichardt- en Vivo omgewing. Scheepers het klem gelê da-

arop dat daar nooit genoeg samewerking kan wees nie, en inwoners versoek om aktief betrokke te raak by hulle onderskeie plaaswagte of by die Soutpansberg Dorpswag. “Moenie jou eie ding probeer of jou eie groepie stig nie. Werk saam met die instansies wat reeds bewys het dat wat hulle doen, werk,” het Scheepers gesê. Samewerking, het Scheepers verduidelik, sluit nie net jou deelname by ‘n organisasie in nie. Hy het die publiek gevra om hulle plaaslike polisiestasie verantwoordbaar te hou en te sorg dat sake reg ondersoek word. “Die publiek moet asseblief kla as hulle nie tevrede is nie. As niemand kla nie, weet die SAPD se bestuur nie daar is fout nie,” het Scheepers gesê. Volgens Scheepers is dit ongelukkig ‘n tydsame proses om ‘n klag te lê, maar een wat vrugte sal dra in die lange duur. Iemand wat ontevrede is met hoe hulle saak hanteer word, of

dalk gevra is om omkoopgeld te betaal, moet eerstens die stasiebevelvoerder nader. Dit sal help as inligting soos datums, name, tyd en plek op papier vasgelê kan word. Indien die klaer voel daar word nie aandag gegee aan sy klagte nie, het Scheepers gesê, kan die klag verder gevoer word. Scheepers het ook van die geleentheid gebruik gemaak om die kwessie van sosiale media, en veral die gebruik van WhatsApp-groepe wat gebruik word om inligting oor misdade te versprei, aan te raak. Volgens hom is sosiale media die grootste rede dat sake onopgelos gaan en misdadigers vry kom. “Dit help niemand nie, en mense moet liefs nie onbevestigde inligting aanstuur as feite nie,” het Scheepers gesê. Hierdie sogenaamde inligting, het Scheepers gesê, is dikwels verouderd, saai net onnodig paniek onder die publiek en mors kosbare ondersoektyd van die polisie.

Parts of greenbelt earmarked for sale (Contd from P1) The developer will, among others, also be responsible for the construction of all access road. Regarding this, Council warned that there is no guarantee that access will be granted from the N1 national road by the authorities and in such instance the municipality shall not be liable for any damages suffered by any of the purchasers. So how far has the process gone since 26 October?

Municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi on Tuesday said that notice of the intended sale of Erf 4296 was advertised in the Limpopo Mirror of 1 December. According to this advert, residents who want to object to the planned sale and proposed development have until 20 December to submit their objections. Asked for an indication of which portions of Erf 4296 form part of the proposed sale, Bobodi said that this cannot be shown at this stage, as two of the conditions listed have to be met first. These include that the municipality will first have to appoint a professional surveyor to survey the area, conduct a proper analysis and submit a report indicating the developable area if any. “It will be after that that the municipality will go ahead with the planned sale. The process to appoint [a surveyor] has not yet started,” said Bobodi. It the sale goes ahead, Bobodi reiterated the fact that the applicants will be responsible for the construction of access roads. Again, he said, the municipality cannot speak on behalf of the South-African National Road Agency (SANRAL). Bobodi also confirmed that the process of rezoning has not yet started. “There are a number of things that should be done before the rezoning stage. As is indicated, subdivision must happen before rezoning,” said Bobodi. He concluded by saying that the whole process is subject to the findings of the professional team which will be appointed by the municipality. Any person wishing to object must lodge their objection in writing to the office of the municipal manager at Private Bag X2596, Louis Trichardt, 0920 or by fax to number 015 516 5084. As stated, the closing date for objections is 20 December.

‘n Ou euwel het die afgelope weke weer sy kop hier in Louis Trichardt uitgesteek. Diewe wat niksvermoedende motoreienaars be roof, deur in te breek by hulle voertuie met behulp van ‘n afstandbeheer, is weer aktief in die dorp. In een van dié gevalle is mnr. Jacques Greyling op 22 November amper gevang deur hierdie sogenaamde “remote jammers”. Volgens Greyling het hy drie keer tevergeefs probeer om sy bakkie met sy afstandbeheer te sluit toe hy by die Checkers-sentrum in Louis Trichardt geparkeer het. Soos wat hy weggestap het, het hy ‘n motorwag opgemerk tussen hom en sy bakkie, onrustig begin voel en teruggedraai. Sy bakkie se deure was oop. Greyling sê sy flikkerligte het elke keer aangegaan wanneer hy die afstandbeheer gedruk het, maar steeds het die deure nie gesluit nie. “Ek is onmiddellik gekonfronteer deur die karwag oor ek myself nie ‘trust’ nie. Wees asseblief versigtig,” het Greyling gesê. Volgens Greyling het hy nie die saak by die Makhado Polisie aangemeld nie, omdat hy nie na die aanklagkantoor kon deurkom nie. Niemand het die foon geantwoord nie. “Checkers se sekuriteit en die bestuurder het absoluut niks gedoen toe dit aan hulle gerapporteer is nie,” het Greyling verder opgemerk. In die jongste voorval is ‘n klant op Vrydag, 1 Desember, in die parkeerarea voor Cycle Centre in Eltivillas beroof. Die eienaars van Cycle Centre het die beeldmateriaal van hulle sekuriteitskameras beskikbaar gemaak om ander mense te waarsku om meer paraat te wees. (Die video sal op die koerant se webblad gelaai word by www.zoutpansberger. co.za). In die video kan gesien word hoe die klant parkeer, uitklim en so in die loop haar bakkie sluit met haar afstandbeheer. Binne oomblikke is daar twee mans wat die prentjie binne-stap. Eers loop hulle en loer in by die winkelingang. Nadat die diewe seker gemaak het die vrou is besig met aankope, slaan die een toe. Dié dief het ondermeer weggekom met die vrou se handsak en ‘n onbekende bedrag in kon tant. In hierdie geval is die saak by die Makhado Polisie aangemeld. Checkers het verlede week gereageer op

medianavrae wat gestuur is kort na Greyling se onderonsie. In ‘n e-pos het Checkers hoofkantoor verduidelik dat Greyling se bekommernis oor “remote jamming” met die bestuur van die kompleks opgeneem is. “As gevolg hiervan,” het Checkers gesê, “is sekuriteit in en rondom die winkel opge skerp as ‘n voorsorgmaatreël én het die bestuur van die kompleks ook die karwagte vervang.” Checkers het verder bevestig dat hul onafhanklike sekuriteitsmaatskappy al in die verlede voornemende kriminele se planne in die wiele gery het en ook gehelp het met suksesvolle arrestasies. Die maatskappy het egter bygevoeg dat, veral in die besige feesseisoen, dit nie altyd ‘n maklike taak is om kliënte en hul persoonlike items te beskerm nie. “Daar is nie ‘n waarborg dat diewe elke keer op die sekuriteitskameras op heterdaad betrap, geïdentifiseer en gevang sal word nie,” het Checkers gesê. Daarom het Checkers hulle kliënte gewaarsku om altyd versigtig te wees in ‘n besige area en eerder hul persoonlike besittings aan hulle persoon te dra ten alle tye. Wat Greyling se klag betref oor die plaaslike polisie se swak telefoonmaniere, is daar ook navraag gedoen. Volgens wat die koerant kon vasstel, het die polisie nie enige tegniese probleme ondervind met hul lyne nie. Die bestuur van die stasie, asook die provinsiale woordvoerder lt.-kol. Moatshe Ngoepe, het bevestig dat daar gekyk sal word na die klagte. Tot op datum is geen terugvoer ontvang nie. Die koerant het ook die klag onder die aandag gebring van mnr. Dirk Meisseinheimer in sy hoedanigheid as voorsitter van die plaaslike gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum (GPF). Hy het bevestig dat die klag al ‘n besprekingspunt was op vorige vergaderings met die polisie en belowe om die saak weer onder hulle aandag te bring. Meisseinheimer het ook ‘n beroep gedoen dat, indien so iets weer gebeur, die persoon ‘n oomblik sal vat om dit te gaan aanmeld by die stasiebe velvoerder. Hy het verduidelik dat ‘n datum en tyd die bevelvoerder sal help om daadwerklik op te tree teen lede wat in daardie stadium aan diens was. “Asseblief mense, ons kan niks doen as niemand die tyd wil neem om te gaan kla nie,” het Meisseinheimer gesê.

Staatmaker polisiekaptein tree af Deur Isabel Venter

Na meer as drie dekades in die polisie het kaptein Danelle Fourie besluit om af te tree. In haar tyd by die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) was Danelle 15 jaar lank betrokke by die kinderbeskermingseenheid in Louis Trichardt. Hierdie eenheid was verantwoordelik vir alle ondersoeke wat verband gehou het met gesinsgeweld, misdade teen kinders en seksuele misdrywe. Danelle het op 30 November amptelik haar laaste dag gewerk as bevelvoerder van hierdie eenheid. In haar jare van diens was daar hoogtepunte en laagtepunte, maar een ding is verseker, kapt. Fourie het ‘n verskil gemaak. Een hoogtepunt was verseker toe haar eenheid in 2014 aange wys is as die top ondersoekeenheid in Suid-Afrika. Die toekenning is ook gemaak ter erkenning van die eenheid se toewyding en harde werk wat hulle aan die dag gelê het om verskeie reeksverkragters aan te keer gedurende 2012 en 2013. Een van dié suksesvolle gevalle was ‘n reeksverkragter wat positief gekoppel kon word aan nege ander onopgeloste verkragtingsake in en rondom die Louis Trichardt-gebied. Nog ‘n saak wat Danelle help oplos het, was die geval van die verkragter Michael Khorombi. Khorombi is aangekeer toe hy na ‘n DNS-analise verbind is

met twee verkragtingsake. In daardie stadium het ‘n Gautengse hof reeds nege lewenslange vonnisse aan Khorombi oorhandig. Die eenheid het in dieselfde tyd ‘n kinderverkragter, Hetekani Loyd Mabudza, gevang wat later lewenslange tronkstraf opgelê is. Daarby gesê was die ondersoekwerk in hierdie eenheid nie altyd ‘n plesier nie en soms emosioneel uitputtend. Midde van dit alles het die gemeenskap se belange altyd eerste gekom en dit is waarvoor Danelle haar elke dag op kantoor beywer het. Sy was maar 17 gewees toe sy by die polisie aangesluit het. Na haar verpligte opleiding was Danelle vir ‘n klompie jare aktief betrokke by die polisie se skakelkantoor, eers in Tzaneen, toe Thohoyandou en vir ‘n rukkie in Louis Trichardt. Aan hierdie jare in die polisie dink Danelle terug met heimwee.

Dit was vir haar, vertel Danelle, lekker om aktief betrokke te wees in haar plaaslike gemeenskap. Sy was, onder andere, betrokke by die organisering van skoue en heelwat verskillende uitreikprogramme om die polisie as’t ware bekend te stel aan die gemeenskap wat hulle dien. Plaaslik sal baie oud-leerlinge ook vir Danelle onthou vir al haar praatjies oor misdaadvoorko ming en hoe om die euwel van dwelms te bestry. Die feit dat Danelle egter die tuig neergelê het beteken nie sy gaan ledig rondsit nie. Sy sien vreeslik uit na nuwe uitdagings wat haar en haar man se proteaboerdery inhou. Buiten vir die proteas sal Danelle haar ook besig hou met haar eie aarbei-boerdery. “Albei hou my al reeds so besig, dit voel nog nie vir my of ek uitgetree het by die polisie nie,” sê Danelle.

Afgeneem saam met haar span is kapt. Danelle Fourie, toe hulle in 2014 aangewys is as die top ondersoekeenheid in Suid-Afrika. Voor, van links na regs, is konst. Mokgadi Mamukhwana, Danelle, konst.

Ooievaar beleef bedrywige tyd met “dubbele” aflewerings Deur Isabel Venter

Sien jy dubbel? Nee, maar dit is net tweelinge waar jy deesdae kyk. Louis Trichardt spog met drie nuwe stelle tweelinge en ‘n stel “tweelinge” wat toe ‘n drieling geword het! Al die nuwe Soutpansbergertjies is sommer dae uitmekaar gebore. Theo en Sophia Schlieben het in November die trotste ouers geword van ‘n seuntjie en dogtertjie. Louis Trichardt se beminde veearts, dr. Nada de Villiers, het kort ná hulle die lewe geskenk aan tweeling dogter-

tjies. Zandré en Nandri de Villiers is op Donderdag, 30 November, gebore. Zandré het die skaal getrek op ‘n stewige 2.29kg en was ‘n hele 5mm langer as haar sussie Nandri, wat 49cm lank is en ingeweeg het op 2.19kg. Maar dit is nog niks. Die grootste verrassing het nog voorgelê vir Anri en Renier Fourie. Die egpaar moes Saterdag inderhaas deurjaag na die Pretoria-Oos hospitaal toe vir ‘n noodkeiser, min wetende dat hulle met ‘n ekstra kind gaan terugkom huis toe.

Renier en Anri was Saterdag rustig by die huis. Hulle het vroeër gaan uiteet saam met vriende en Renier het net reggemaak om die rugby te kyk, toe die “tweeling” aandui dat hulle reg is om gebore te word. “Drie speedtraps later – Anri het net vir hulle geskreeu dat dit ‘n noodsituasie is – en nou ja, hier Renier “Die Wegkruipertjie” Fourie, was dalk die laaste om gebore te is ons nou,” het Renier vertel. Eerste was dit sussie Amori, gevolg deur haar word, maar het die skaal op ‘n allemintige 2.5kg getrek. Foto verskaf. boetie Henré. Hulle boetie, Renier junior, het almal onkant betrap. “O, sh@t, hier’s dan nog enetjie,” het die dokter gesê en toe vir Renier uitgehaal. “As jy dink Binnelanders gons, dink weer. Hier in Pretoria-Oos gons dit nog meer,” het ‘n trotse Renier Dinsdag gesê. Deur haar hele swangerskap het niemand agtergekom dat Anri eintlik ‘n drieling verwag nie. Buiten dat die tweeling toe ‘n drieling geword het, word hulle geboorte ook as ‘n groot wonderwerk geag. Dit is nie net omdat Anri hulle kon dra tot op 35 weke nie, maar ook omdat hulle al drie meer as 2kg geweeg het by geboorte. Amori het 2.2kg geweeg, Henré 2,408kg en Renier 2.5kg. Die drieling het eintlik ook ‘n bietjie te vroeg opgedaag. Toe almal nog gedink het dit was ‘n Amori Fourie. Foto verskaf. tweeling was die dokter se datum vir hul geboorte 15 Desember. Nou deel die drietjies hul verjaarsdag op 2 Desember met hul oupa, Fritz Fourie (64), wat in Januarie vanjaar in ‘n motorongeluk oorlede is. Al drie was nog Dinsdag in die hospitaal waar hulle groei gemonitor word. Die drietjies verbaas egter, het Renier gesê, almal by die hospitaal met hulle goeie vordering. “Hulle het geen probleme nie en al drie is perdfris en gesond.” Al wat pla is dat hulle nog ‘n bietjie klein is om gemaklik vas te hou. “Hulle is so klein ... mens voel of jy hulle gaan breek as jy hulle optel,” het Renier gesê. Die week se goeie nuus is afgesluit met Marleen en Bart van der Vyver se tweeling seuns, Bart Antonie en Ostervaldt James (OJ vir kort) wat Dinsdag gebore is. Henré Fourie. Foto verskaf.

NLC keeps on giving - but not much to see here By Anton van Zyl

The strange tale of the Lotto funding in the Vhembe district has taken a new turn. Last month we reported on payments totalling R9.84 million made to a local non-profit organisation (NPO), Vhembe Health & Fitness Centre. The NPO was unable to supply details of how most of the money was utilized. It has now been revealed that Vhembe received another R2.5 million, according to the National Lottery Commission’s (NLC) latest annual report, which lists all grants it has paid in the 2017 financial year. Vhembe Health & Fitness Centre has received three pay-outs from the NLC in 2014 and 2015. In July 2014, it received R2.5 million and in February 2015 a further R3 million grant was given to them under the Sport & Recreation category. An amount of R4.35 million was also paid to the NPO in September 2014, but this time it was done under the “Miscellaneous” section. It later transpired that Vhembe Health & Fitness Centre was used as a conduit by the NLC and the real recipient of the R4.25 million was an organisation called Tshedza Arts, Culture & Sports Development. The money was for a “heritage festival”, according to the NLC. The NLC has confirmed that a further R2.5 million was paid over to Vhembe in 2017, something that was not mentioned in responses to earlier media enquiries sent to the NLC. Vhembe Health & Fitness Centre In our earlier report, it was mentioned that Vhembe Health & Fitness Centre has two siblings, one for profit and the other a non-profit organisation.

One is a closed corporation, first registered in 2004, which runs the Gym4U franchise, with branches in Thohoyandou, Louis Trichardt, Seshego and Nzhelele. This company belongs to Ndwelani (Junior) Makhado. In 2012, Makhado registered a non-profit organisation, also called Vhembe Health & Fitness Centre. This NPO subsequently applied to the NLC for funding, apparently early in 2014. Mr Makhado could not provide details on how the millions were spent, when the Zoutpansberger interviewed him. He told us that he was the victim of an armed robbery a few months earlier, in which his cell phone, laptop and vehicle were stolen. All the documentation with details about the projects, were on the laptop, he said. He did, however, claim that the money was utilized to conduct a series of training workshops in several areas, including Madimbo and Thohoyandou. During these sessions the participants were assessed in terms of different factors, including their Body Mass Index (BMI) and advised on how to follow a healthy diet. The activities also included fun walks, sport events and specific activities to include people with disabilities. A gala dinner was held to recognise some of the achievers, he said. Mr Makhado promised to search for photos or any other documentation that could shed light on how the millions were spent, but has so far not done so. Back to the NLC for answers The Zoutpansberger approached the NLC again for more details on the Vhembe Health & Fitness Centre funding. The NLC’s senior manager tasked with dealing with legal issues, Mr Tsietsi Maselwa, side-stepped the direct questions by simply stating that satisfactory reports had been

submitted by Vhembe Health & Fitness. He said that the R8 million grant was paid in three tranches and prior to every payment being made the NLC ascertained whether the progress reports submitted were satisfactory. Mr Maselwa was also asked about the possible contravention of the regulation that states that an NPO that receives funding for the first time must produce two consecutive years’ audited financial reports. Vhembe Health & Fitness only submitted one set of financial statements to the Department of Social Development’s NPO Directorate, which was for 2013. This would make sense, seeing that the NPO was only registered in September 2012. The turn-over for the whole of 2013 was R6 000, while the turnover for the three months in 2012 was R5 000. Vhembe Health & Fitness did submit two years’ audited statements, according to Maselwa. “We can’t comment on how they only submitted 2013 financials to the DSD. In the NLC records the financials were submitted as required,” he said. But who is Vhembe Health & Fitness Centre? As mentioned earlier, the chairperson of the NPO is also Ndwelani (Junior) Makhado. The latest Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CPIC) records show that Mr Makhado is a director of five other companies, some of which are in the process of being deregistered. The deputy chairperson is listed as Humbulani Tshifhango, the secretary is Patrick Tshikukuvhe, the treasurer is L Makhado (Ndwelani’s former wife) and the club’s General Manager is D R Mulaudzi. From what could be established, the secretary, treasurer and the club’s general manager were never active in the NPO and some of them denied ever being involved in the financial affairs of the NPO. When the NLC was asked about the issue of the lack of involvement of office bearers, Mr Maselwa explained that various checks are done prior to grants for funding being approved. “But there is no requirement (that) the NLC ascertain whether the office bearers mentioned on each application

submitted are aware that their names are listed as office bearers,” he said. The name of the deputy chairperson of Vhembe Health & Fitness Centre, former school teacher and now farmer and businessman Humbulani Tshifhango, created more interest. Tshifhango, according to the latest available CIPC records, is a director of ten companies, of which three are listed as still being in business. The best known of his businesses is the Konani Pfunzo Comprehensive Learning Centre, which operates in the Dzanani area. Transparency you battle to see In the previous article it was mentioned that, when Vhembe Health & Fitness Centre was used as a conduit, R4.25 million was channelled to an NPO called Tshedza Arts, Culture & Sports Development. “Tshedza Arts Culture and Sport Development was funded to implement a project for the heritage week. This was largely a heritage festival with a variety of activities including traditional initiation workshop, a fun run, kid’s day events etc,” Mr Maselwa from the NLC wrote. The chairperson of Tshedza, Mr Shandukani Nesengani, confirmed that part of the money was used for the 2014 Phalaphala FM Royal Heritage Festival, but said that the project also funded other activities. Mr Nesengani refused to reveal any information about his NPO’s projects, claiming that there was a confidentiality agreement in place between the organisation and the NLC, which prohibits them from speaking to the press. When Mr Maselwa was confronted with this, he referred to legislation governing the release of grant information. He also attached the Lotteries Act (1997), highlighting Clause 8 which states that no person may in any way “disclose any information in connection with any grant application or a grant itself.” The regulations, however, are specifically for distribution agents, which oversee grants, and not applicable to either NPOs or members of the public. “My interpretation is that beneficiaries are free to discuss their projects with anyone, but the NLC cannot force them to do so,” Maselwa said.

Coal of Africa Limited (CoAL) last week announced the approval of their name change to MC Mining, which they hope will usher in a fresh period of cash flow generation and growth for the company. This is just one of the major changes the company has made during November. CoAL further strengthened its trade when the company announced its plans to rebrand and market CoAL to the wider investment community. In addition, the company also sold its Mooiplaats thermal coal colliery and acquired the Uitkomst metallurgical and thermal coal colliery from Pan African Resources, according to a recent announcement to shareholders, in a bid to restructure its balance sheet. The Uitkomst Colliery has the required environmental and social permits in place and a remaining 17 years mining left. This, said the company, transformed them into a coal producer that is now well positioned to take advantage of higher global coal prices. Last week the company also announced a directorate change. CoAL has appointed Brenda Berlin, the former group chief financial officer of Impala Platinum, to replace De Wet Schutte who resigned as finance director. Berlin will join the company on 1 March 2018 and it is the intention that she will join the board of directors during the course of 2018. To top it all off, CoAL this week announced that the company intends to apply for an

amendment to the environmental authorisation for its planned Makhado Lite Project, through a subsidiary company, Baobab Mining and Exploration Pty Limited. Baobab Mining will appoint Jacana Environmentals to comply with the revisions to the existing environmental authorisation. According to CoAL’s amendment notification, the greatest impact will be on local roads. The Makhado mine is a planned open-cast mine situated north of the Soutpansberg and 65km southwest of Musina. The mine was drastically downsized, reportedly largely as a result of CoAL’s decision to keep its Vele colliery on care and maintenance during 2017 and to “unlock nearterm shareholder value.”

The reduction in the size of the project, and the associated reduced production [of coal], necessitated a change in the product transport option from rail to road. Coal from the mine will have to be transported to the Mactransco railway station over approximately 66.6km of local roads in and around the Musina area. This requires that an amendment be drafted for the original environment impact report, which will be done by 12 January 2018. People who wish to lodge an objection or recommendations have until Friday, 15 December, to register on CoAL’s database for interested and affected parties. Dates for public hearings will be published afterwards.

The head boy and head girl of Ridgeway Independent School, Farhaan Ayob (left) and Mpho Makatu (right), scooped up the Surat Trophy for Leadership during the school’s annual prize-giving function on Thursday, 30 November. Mpho also received merit certificates for best academic performance in mathematics and an overall average of over 80%.

New municipal manager is a qualified engineer By Andries van Zyl

manager at the Limpopo Independent Development Trust. As for his municipal skills, Tshivhengwa was the general manager of technical services at the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM), during which time he also acted a municipal manager for one year. He was also general manager of capital investment and infrastructure development at the City of Johannesburg under Johannesburg Water. In total, Tshivhengwa claims 10 years’ experience in local government. In addressing the media, Tshivhengwa said it is his expectation that the municipality and the media should forge a partnership. “The media play a critical role in terms of giving information to our community with regard to the performance and failures of the municipality. But in the main, my expectation is that we should try to strike a balance in terms of reporting,” said Tshivhengwa. Tshivhengwa said that his focus will be on audit issues and also to ensure that the municipality improve service delivery to the community. “We need to ensure that all the targets that we’ve set, with regard to the SDBIP, are achieved, and we need to get a good response from our community,” said Tshivhengwa. He added that he will therefore also have to focus on staff morale. “Without training and capacity, we will not be able to deliver. That is one of the areas I am going to focus on – to make sure our staff are equipped,” said Tshivhengwa. Tshivhengwa has no former track record with the Makhado Municipality. The closest he has come was his service at the VDM. He is, however, a true son of the soil being born and growing up in Nzhelele.

The Makhado Municipality on Tuesday officially introduced their newly appointed municipal manager, Mr Freddy Tshivhengwa, to members of the media. When introducing Tshivhengwa, mayor Shonisani Sinyosi reminded him that he, as accounting officer, has a mammoth task of ensuring that the staff carry out their duties to realise the municipality’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and the Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP). “As Council, we have expressed our commitment to support him as the accounting officer to execute his duties as outlined on his conditions of employment and other applicable legislation in local government,” said Sinyosi. The decision to appoint Tshivhengwa was taken on 13 October during an urgent council meeting. His appointment is effective from 1 December this year with a 5-year employment contract.

traffic offences (39%), to get a driver’s licence (18%), to secure a job (14%), to receive public services (8%) and the newest entry - to avoid criminal charges (7%). The cheapest bribe paid was for traffic offences, at an average of R205. In the report, the average bribe amount for 2017 was recorded at R1 548. Compared to 2016, which was at an average of R2 201, this is low and is even below 2015’s average, which was R2 005. All other bribe types had averages ranging from R999 to R6 480. The survey’s data also indicated that bribes paid to get jobs may sometimes have recurring amounts, with people expected to pay a monthly portion of their salary that they receive. On a positive note, the study remarked that all is not lost. About half of South Africans believe that it is possible to get through everyday life without paying bribes. “While it appears that we are at a tipping point, there are still a significant number of committed people who choose not to pay bribes,” concluded the survey.

Clemour back for a Christmas show By Elardus van Zyl

Clemour Ngobeni doesn’t need an introduction in Limpopo. He stole the hearts of music lovers throughout the country last year when he was one of the finalists in the Voice SA talent competition. This competition also launched Clemour’s music career and he was invited to perform at events that included anything from singing the

national anthem when the Springboks played against Australia last year, to an Afrikaans music competition on television. We caught up with Clemour last week, asking him about the year gone by and also about his plans for December. “One of the highlights of the past year was performing on the SABC 2 show, Musiek Roulette, in November,” said Clemour. He was also invited by Bonnke Shipalana, CEO of The Communications Firm, to perform at an international polo event. He even had the opportunity to perform at a Nepad function, which is an organisation supported by the United Nations. “I loved performing there, because I had the opportunity to showcase my art to an international audience of businessmen and women, which has opened a lot of doors for me in that market,” said Clemour. Clemour has also been performing in a couple of music shows. He featured in shows at the Johannesburg Theatre and the Roodepoort Theatre and he performed at the Vaal Annual Festival. In the year that lies ahead, Clemour has a couple of more goals to pursue. He would love to win a SAMA (SA Music Award). “I believe that dreams do come true, so I do not let my mind be influenced by how long and tough the journey will be because I am willing to work for it,” said Clemour. He would also love to take his music outside of the country, showing people from afar what SA artists can achieve. “Where I want to see myself

in a year is seeing progress in my art, getting recognised for the work that I do and building the brand bigger and better,” he said. On Christmas eve (24 December), Clemour will be hosting a red-carpet music concert called The Night Before Christmas with Clemour. The event will be held at the Fountains of Life church at Ha-Chabani. The venue can accommodate 1 100 people. A number of guest artists from Johannesburg, Pretoria, Limpopo and Cape Town will also join Clemour on stage.

Now the time to book SPCA boarding Holiday time is once again upon us, but are your pets as excited as you are about this time of year? The Louis Trichardt SPCA voiced its concerns this week regarding the proper caring for animals as this is the society’s busiest time of the year. “Compassion comes in all forms and we ask for consideration towards all animals this festive season,” said the SPCA. The excessive heat and the drought continue to affect animals. “We ask that reports of suffering be submitted timeously,” said the SPCA. This not only relates to pets and animals on farms, but also to working animals such as guard dogs who may be suffering on duty in adverse weather conditions. The SPCA also warned pet owners that the festive season coincides with the discharging of fireworks. “If you are leaving your pets at home during the holiday, please make sure you have made adequate arrangements with a reliable person to feed and take care of them. Remember, there will be fireworks while you are away, so make sure you are prepared. Fireworks can be extremely dangerous, even fatal to your pets, so make sure they enjoy the festive season as much

as you do,” said the SPCA. The SPCA urged responsible pet owners to protect their pets during the discharging of fireworks. “Firework displays bring confusion, anxiety and fear into the lives of animals, causing many to run away from their homes in an effort to escape the frightening detonations,” said the SPCA. They shared a few tips to help keep pets safe during fireworks: * Ensure all animals have identification and, if possible, stay home with them if you suspect fireworks fiends are about. If you can’t be home with them, keep them inside and preferably in a room such as the kitchen where the windows are higher (and more difficult to jump through). Attempt to mask any noise by drawing curtains and playing calming music at a reasonable volume and put familiar and comforting things around them, such as toys, baskets etc. Provide them with something to do, such as giving your dog a chewy bone or lots of catnip or a catnip toy for felines. If your pets do react badly to fireworks, then seek professional advice from your veterinarian. The SPCA also reminded pet owners that they can already book boarding at the SPCA

for the holiday season as soon as possible, as limited space is available. Bookings can be made by phoning Lawrence at Tel 082 965 5151 or Grietjie at Tel 072 516 6895 “Please make sure to confirm your booking and don’t rely on leaving a voice message,” said the SPCA. For your pets’ own safety, you must make sure that all your pet’s inoculations are up to date, as well as deworming and dipping. Proof of inoculation will be required to ensure the safety of animals already at the SPCA. Boarding fees are R50 per dog per day and R40 per cat per day, which includes shelter, bedding and food. “You are welcome to bring your pet’s own bedding and food if you wish, though, to aid them in feeling more at home, relaxed and comfortable,” said the SPCA. The Louis Trichardt SPCA’s office hours are Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00 and Saturdays from 08:00 to 13:00. After-hour collections of pets can be pre-arranged. For more information you can contact Lawrence on 082 965 5151 or Alicia on 084 900 5332 or send them a Facebook message on their Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/SPCA-Louis-Trichardt-109664612517237/.

Wat gemaak as slangse-kind kom inloer? Deur Isabel Venter

Wat gemaak as slang-se-kind by jou huis kom inloer? Die warmer weer laat nie net die kraaie gaap hier in Louis Trichardt nie, maar dwing ook al hoe meer slange om koelte te gaan soek - dikwels in onwelkome plekke. Vir sommige inwoners is hierdie besoekers egter uit die bose en net die gedagte dat ‘n slang hulle huis moet binneseil, vervul hulle met vrees. Die realiteit is egter dat die oorgrote meerderheid slangspesies relatief onskadelik is. Volgens mnr. Jan “Slang” van Rooyen, plaaslike slangkenner en -vanger, is dit steeds skokkend hoe min inwoners van die verskillende slangspesies weet. Hy sê hy is al moeg gesukkel om mense te oortuig om nie slange dadelik dood te maak as hulle hul teëkom nie. Slange is nie van die bose nie, maar tog sê Jan, is daar baie mense wat so groot skrik dat Jan van Rooyen, plaaslike slangkenner en -vanger, met ‘n swart mamba wat hy gevang het. Foto hulle eerste gedagte is om die slang dood te maak. Jan vra dat inwoners hulself moet vergewis van verskaf.

die verskille tussen ‘n giftige en nie-giftige slang. “Slange sal nie sommer mense aanval en pik nie,” het Jan gesê. Plaaslike is daar ‘n WhatsApp-groep op die been gebring waar inwoners raad kan vra van Jan en ander slangkenners in die area. Op hierdie groep kan mense ook hulp vra om slange te verwyder. “Hou die slange dop en kyk waar hulle beweeg, sodat die slangvanger nie later daar moet aankom en die slang nog eers moet soek nie,” het Jan gevra. Wat mense ook kan doen is om hul erwe skoon en netjies aan die buitekant te hou, sodat daar min wegkruipplek is vir slange. Verwyder boumateriaal, hope rotse en komposhope waar kos in die vorm van paddas, muise en rotte gelok word en waar slange kan skuil. Visdammetjies lok ook paddas wat weer slange lok. Jan kan geskakel word by tel. 081 796 1380 of 079 852 5213 vir meer inligting of om ingeskakel te word op die groepie.

Jacques Mouton off on “Cape tour” By Elardus van Zyl

Vir die eerste keer in 10 jaar het Hoërskool Eric Louw weer ‘n Mej. Eric Louw-kompetisie aangebied. Die spoggeleentheid het op 2 Desember plaasgevind en is gehou ten bate van die skool se gasvryheidsklas, sodat daar nuwe stowe aangekoop kon word. Afgeneem is (van links na regs) mnr. Johan Minnie (skool hoof), mev. Chrisna Viljoen (organiseerder), Munadia Islam (1ste prinses en Mej. Persoonlikheid), Alida van Rensburg (Mej. Eric Louw en Mej. Fotogenies) en Louise van Niekerk (2de prinses). Links: Die Mej. Eric Louw-kompetisie was ’n reuse sukses en uit die geld wat ingesamel is, kon die skool vier nuwe stowe vir hul gasvryheidsklas koop. Afgeneem by die nuwe stowe is (van links na regs) mnr. Johan Minnie (skoolhoof), mev. Chrisna Viljoen (organiseerder van die kompetisie) en mnr. Alwin Dorman. Foto’s verskaf.

Local fans may have to wait a few months for Jacques’ new albums. He is working on two, an English album and an Afrikaans one. This time around the albums should be available at leading music stores as well as on digital platforms such as iTunes and Spotify. Currently, his albums can only be purchased by contacting him directly. As far as local performances are concerned, he has no immediate commitments. There will be a concert or two early in 2018, but fans will have to keep watching his Facebook page. He can be found on Facebook by searching for “Jacques Mouton Official”.

Jacques Mouton is already a well-known name in Louis Trichardt, but this young musician is determined to introduce his unique brand of singing and song-writing to a wider audience. The past year was full of highlights, but if he has his way next year will be even busier. The Zoutpansberger caught up with the 24-year-old Jacques while he was still relaxing on a farm just outside town earlier this week. He told us more about his plans for December, as well as the two albums he has in mind for next year. Jacques and a friend who plays guitar, plan on hitting the Western Cape’s roads late in December. Jacques calls it their “backpacker” tour and the idea is to visit the small towns in the Cape from the 18th to the 22nd of December. All their equipment and clothing go into their backpacks and they plan on travelling around using only public transport. Accommodation will be in inexpensive lodgings such as youth hostels and they would want to do as much sight-seeing as possible. They want to meet people and above all, make music. It has been a busy year for Jacques, but he also had to focus on his studies. He recently performed at SAMI (South African Music Institute), where he achieved a grade of 82% for guitar on a grade 8 level. He also scored 90% in his theory exams on Grade 5 level. This means that he can now boast with an international music qualification. For Jacques the academic achievements marked the highlight of his year and he hopes to be able to Jacques Mouton performing at the SAMI (South African music institute).

Hayley’s art speaks to people By Elardus van Zyl

“My art speaks differently to me than everyone else, and that is what I like about art. It does not have a direct message linked to it.” These are the words of one of Louis Trichardt’s young artists, the 18-year-old Hayley Waller. Hayley finished her matric exams at Ridgeway College a few weeks ago. During the college’s prize-giving ceremony, she received numerous awards. One of her subjects was art and, even though the final results are not yet available, she received a lot of compliments for her work. After the exams one of the moderators phoned the school, remarking that it was the best work

he has seen in ten years. For Hayley, art has been part of her life since a very young age. She won her first art award when she was only in grade 1, competing against a variety of much older artists in Louis Trichardt. “I don’t see art as a competitive activity and I would still have been the same even if I did not win, but it was then that I found out I had a talent,” said Hayley. Hayley practices her art as a hobby and does not believe she should get paid. She also does not intend pursuing this as a

career. “Being paid for my art takes away the sentimental value,” said Hayley. Hayley first started drawing animals, but eventually started to prefer finger drawings and portraits. She mainly draws human bodies and body parts such as hands and faces. “The human body in itself is beautiful and provides me with ideas and thoughts,” said Hayley. Her inspiration comes from past experiences and the difficulties she had to face in her life. Her art also serves as her “coping method” to handle life’s challenges.

Waarom heg Christene so baie waarde en agting aan die Here Jesus? Ons waardeer en stel die Here Jesus hoog op prys, want Hy is die soewereine, verhewe Regeerder van die heelal. Ook omdat Hy Jesus is. Die Wonder van wonders. Die Naam bo alle name. Die soewereine God het mens geword om onder mense te woon, en om vir die sonde van Sy uitverkorenes te sterf. Maar ook omdat Hy die Christus is. Die naam verwys na Sy amp, wat Hy doen. Christus beteken: Die Gesalfde Een. En Christus is deur God die Vader gesalf as Priester, Profeet en Koning. As Profeet verklaar Hy getrou die waarheid van God. As Priester het Hy Homself geoffer vir ons sonde. As Koning regeer Hy oor Sy kinders. Hy is ook kosbaar vir Christene, want Hy is die Here van die heerlikheid. Hy weerspieël die heerlikheid van die Vader en sal uiteindelik Sy mense bymekaarmaak om in Sy heerlikheid te deel. Die Here Jesus Christus is ook vir ons kosbaar want deur die genade van God is ons geloof in ons Here Jesus Christus. Geloof is die genademiddel wat God ons gee waardeur ons verstaan wie Jesus is en wat Hy vir ons gedoen het. Ons ken die Here Jesus deur geloof. Is die Here Jesus Christus vir jou ook so kosbaar? - 079 516 8303

Mutt Mile promises to become an annual SPCA event Charity

It was a dog lover’s affair on Saturday during the hosting of the Louis Trichardt SPCA’s Mutt Mile as part of the Gateway Christmas Market. “Thank you so much to each and every human and ‘mutt’ who came and enjoyed our very first Mutt Mile with us on Saturday! Hopefully, this too, will become an annual event on our SPCA calendar,” said the SPCA team. One and all agreed that it was an amazing day with great support from the community once again. “First of all, we would like to thank Trieks and Arno for arranging the awesome Christmas Market and allowing us to be part of this special event. Congratulations on organizing such a brilliant day with great stalls and fantastic fun and food for the whole family. Thank you to Gateway Inn for the use of their beautiful facilities too,” said the SPCA team. The SPCA also made special mention of a few people who assisted them in making their first Mutt Mile one to be remembered. These included their most loyal supporters, Oasis Water, and their cute little helpers for manning the halfway water point for them. “You did a fantastic job, as always,” said the SPCA. A thank you also went to Hennie and his team from the Soutpansberg Athletics Club for their assistance on the day, their advice and all their guidance with arranging this event. “We truly appreciate it more than words can say,” said the SPCA. A huge thank you also went to Leach Printers for sponsoring the stickers for the water bottles and Super Signs for making the extra special and unique medals. “Then last, but most definitely not least ... our super, amazing team, the committee of our SPCA. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, your drive and most of all, your absolute passion for animals. Nothing would be possible without this power team. Thank you so much to each and every one of you. Hope to see you next year for another epic Mutt Mile and fun run,” said the SPCA team.

Limpopo te sterk vir Strikers in T20-finaal

Joubert Fourie ontvang die trofee van Naomi Phillipson van die Louis Trichardt Krieketklub.

Craig Viljoen (11) en Leon Furstenburg (30) het die lopie-tempo hoog probeer hou. Strikers se boulers, veral Paolo Piorek (1/11 in 4 beurte) en Louis van Jaarsveld (1/13 in 4 beurte) het egter die leisels stewig vasgehou. FC Phillipson het vasgeskop en ‘n haastige 30 lopies van 27 balle aangeteken om die telling na 100/4 na 20 beurte te neem. Strikers se kolwers het min simpatie betoon met Ridgeway se boulers. Na ‘n vinnige paaltjie geval het, het Albertus Pieterse (16) en Christo Boshoff (26 n.u.n.) die boulers gekasty. Ettienne Hendricks (47 n.u.n. van 26 balle) het egter die lang steel ingelê en Strikers gehelp om die telling in die 11de beurt verby te steek, met slegs twee paaltjies plat. Ridgeway se enigste bouler wat ‘n mate van sukses kon behaal, was Craig Viljoen wat 2/21 in 4 beurte geneem het. In Sondag se wedstryd het Limpopo eerste gaan kolf en hul aanvangspaar, Hamid Dukanwala (48 van 32 balle) en Salim (18 van 21 balle) het ‘n 74 lopie vennootskap aangeteken. Nimesh Watekar het hierna ingekom en 10 lopies aangeteken, maar dit was TE Smit (42 van 27 balle) en Wouter Smit (29 van 18 balle) wat verwoesting gesaai het. Aan die einde van die 20ste beurt was die telling 186 met drie paaltjies plat. Vikings se bouler wat die meeste sukses behaal het, was Riaan Gerber wat 2/20 in vier beurte geneem het. Limpopo se boulers het Vikings min kans gegun om die teiken te jaag. Wouter Smit (2/17 in 4 beurte) en Vimal Shah (0/13 in 4 beurte) was genadeloos. Albertus Pieterse (16 van 23 balle) en Christo Boshoff (39 van 44 balle) het dapper probeer, maar na hulle vertrek kon slegs Christo Gerber (12 van 12 balle) dubbelsyfers aanteken. Na 20 beurte was die telling op 116 met 8 paaltjies plat. Buiten Wouter se twee paaltjies, het TE Smit ook 2/20 in twee beurte geneem.

Nkateko Mkansi (left) and Risuna Shivambi (right) were respectively voted Ridgeway College’s best senior and best junior netball players for 2017. They received their awards during the college’s annual honours evening held in Louis Trichardt on 17 November. Photos supplied.

The Soutpansberg Cycling Club hosted their annual Jingle Toy Ride in Louis Trichardt last Friday evening in support of local charities. Some 90 riders of all age groups took to the streets in colourfully decorated bicycles, some sporting ﬂashy Christmas lights. The entry fee was a soft toy. “It was the most soft toys ever that we had managed to collect, totalling more than 500,” said Stanley Thompson of the cycling club. The toys will be divided into batches to be distributed to local churches and charities for the Christmas season to be handed out to needy children. Photo’s supplied.
