Beskuldigde sterf Deur Andries van Zyl
Nog nuwe verwikkelinge in die moordsaak van die 45-jarige mnr. Tony Strydom van Louis Trichardt het oor die afgelope weke opgeduik. Tony se liggaam is op 2 Julie 2016 in die veld, nie ver van waar hy gewoon nie het op een van die Ridgeway-kleinhoewes buite die dorp, deur sy twee seuns, Hendrik (25) en Pieter (23), gevind. Hulle het saam met hul pa en Tony se tweede vrou, Rieta (née Brown), op die kleinhoewe gewoon. Volgens Hendrik en Pieter se destydse verklarings aan die polisie het hulle na hul pa gaan soek toe dit begin donker word en hy nie huis toe gekom het nie. In daardie stadium het die familie aangevoer dat Tony vroeër die dag alleen op die
plot se skietbaan sou gaan teiken skiet het. Sedert sy liggaam gevind is, was die omstandighede wat gelei het tot sy dood ‘n raaisel. Die nadoodse ondersoek sou aan die lig bring dat hy dood is vanweë ‘n enkele koeëlwond in sy rug. Dit het die moontlikheid van ‘n skietongeluk uitgeskakel. Dan was daar die moontlikheid dat hy geskiet is tydens ‘n rooftog. Al wat egter vermis was vanaf die toneel was sy vuurwapen. Sy persoonlike besittings en beursie was nog in sy bakkie. Weens die bevindinge van die nadoodse ondersoek het die polisie ‘n moordsaak geopen. Die saak is later na ‘n geregtelik doodsondersoek verander en toe later gesluit vanweë ‘n gebrek aan leidrade en inligting. Die saak sou egter vroeër vanjaar ‘n dra-
matiese wending neem nadat Tony se vrou Rieta (66) en seun Hendrik op 5 April in die hof op Louis Trichardt sou verskyn het op klagte van die moord op Strydom. Hulle is elk op R1 000 borg vrygelaat. ‘n Paar weke later het Pieter hom aan die polisie in Standerton oorhandig in verband met die dood van sy pa en is hy saam met sy broer Hendrik en stiefma Rieta in die beskuldigde bank geplaas. Ook hy is op borg van ‘n R1 000 vrygelaat. Die drie se verskyning in die hof hou klaarblyklik verband met ‘n verklaring wat Rieta weens ‘n skuldige gewete afgelê het oor wat presies die dag op die plaas gebeur het. Die verklaring is egter nie in die hof toelaatbaar nie, aangesien dit nie voor ‘n
landdros afgelê is nie maar voor ‘n lid van die polisie. Hendrik en Pieter het verlede Vrydag, 2 Augustus, weer in die hof op Louis Trichardt verskyn, dié keer sonder Rieta. Die hof het bevestig dat Rieta intussen oorlede is, alhoewel die spesifieke detail hieromheen nie beskikbaar is nie. Die saak kon egter nie voortgaan nie, aangesien Pieter sonder ‘n prokureur by die hof opgedaag het en die saak uitgestel moes word na 1 November. Dit het intussen aan die lig gekom dat die moordwapen wat gebruik is om Tony mee te skiet vanuit ‘n boorgat op die kleinhoewe herwin is.

“Gewoontemisdadiger” loop sy rieme styf
Hy is toe ook skuldig bevind aan ‘n oortreding van die immigrasiewet. Hy is in Mei vanjaar weer aan Die 27-jarige Douglas Petchu van Zimbabwe, ‘n oortreding van die immigrasiewet in dieselfde wat homself na alle waarskynlikheid onwettig in hof skuldig bevind. Petchu se geluk het egter in Julie uitgehardloop, die land bevind, is op 31 Julie gevonnis tot vier jaar direkte gevangenisstraf sonder die keuse danksy die wakker staatsaanklaer in die saak, van ‘n boete omdat hy ‘n paar mansskoene mnr.

Nadat Petchu op 9 Junie ter waarde van R799 by Woolworths op Louis gearresteer is vir die diefstal by Woolworths, het hy op 1 Julie skuldig gepleit op die klag in die Trichardt probeer steel het. Die rede waarom Petchu so ‘n swaar vonnis Louis Trichardt Distrikshof. In daardie stadium opgelê is, is vanweë sy vorige veroordelings het Makhado bewus geword van Petchu se vorige - om presies te wees, 21 vorige veroordelings oortredings en dit aan die hof voorgehou.

Charges against Venter withdrawn By Andries van Zyl
The three men arrested along the N1 just outside of Louis Trichardt last week on charges relating to stock theft appeared in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s Court again on Wednesday. During their court appearance, all charges were withdrawn against accused number three, the 38-year-old Mr Theunis Johannes Venter. This follows after it had come to light that Venter was merely the driver of the truck rented by co-accused Selelo Maoto (accused number one) and Azwindini Nethononda (accused number two). All three men were in the truck when the police
stopped them. During the search, the police found 10 cattle in the back of the truck, with none of the men able to give a satisfactory explanation about ownership of the cattle, worth about R100 000. Venter, who was kept in police custody since his arrest on 30 July, was released after his court appearance on Wednesday. The 40-year-old Maoto was released on R2 000 bail, while the State opposed the granting of bail to Nethononda, since he has a similar case of alleged stock theft pending against him in the Musina court. The case against Maoto and Nethononda was postponed until next Tuesday, when Nethononda will bring a formal bail application.
BUSINESS talk New restaurant is like … Barley & Jam By Anton van Zyl
“Why Barley & Jam?” was the first question I asked when entering the new restaurant that opened last week in Songozwi Street, Louis Trichardt. The restaurant is somewhat hidden between other shops, almost as if it wants you to discover it, along with its sweet treasures. It is opposite Checkers in the building where Kirsten Printers used to be a few years ago. “It took me quite some time to come up with a name for the restaurant,” said Eugene Maree, the owner. The name combines the barley used to make beer with the jam that so often accompanies sweet delicacies. This is a restaurant where beer can be served
alongside carrot cake. Eugene has nurtured the dream of opening his own restaurant for many years. When the building where Kirsten Printers operated from for many years came onto the market, he formed part of the group that bought and renovated it. When one of the shops became vacant, Eugene decided to convert it into a restaurant, complete with an upper deck overlooking Songozwi Street. According to Eugene, the idea is not to cater for the “rich and famous”. The menu is fairly simple, but the food must be of excellent quality. A special pizza oven was installed, and on “pizza evenings” treats such as the “Barley & Jam Pizza” are served. This pizza includes biltong, figs, brie
cheese, sweet-mild Jalapenos, yellow peppers and fresh rocket - all for just R100. Currently, the menu is in the process of being refined, says Eugene. Depending on the demand, many more dishes will be added. The most popular items on the menu are the burgers and the pork ribs. The 200-gram beef patties are home-made, with fresh rolls out of the oven. Barley & Jam boasts a well-equipped kitchen where everything from meat products to pastry dishes are prepared. A specialist pastry chef was employed to make sure that the quality is superb. The restaurant is fully licensed and is open from Tuesdays to Sundays. It opens at 07:30, when breakfast gets served, and closes around 21:00 (depending on customers).

IN MEMORIAM
Man found guilty of stabbing girlfriend 12 times over “unsatisfactory” answer By Andries van Zyl
Die Soutpansberg se bekende tannie Drienie Scholtz is Dinsdag in die ouderdom van 98 jaar oorlede. Tannie Drienie is in die Kalahari gebore, het daar grootgeword en sou later vyf kinders daar grootmaak. Sy en haar man, Antonie, het in 1960 na die Soutpansberg verhuis waar hy as plaasbestuurder werksaam was. Ses jaar later het oom Antonie sy eie grond langs die Houtrivier gekoop en vir jare op die plase Groenverwagcht en Uitkyk geboer. Tannie Drienie het die laaste 20 jaar na oom Antonie se afsterwe alleen gebly in die dorp, waarvan sy die laaste 11 jaar by haar dogter Rina en skoonseun Attie gebly het. Sy sal Vrydag, 9 Augustus, om 10:00 vanuit die AGS-gemeenste in Louis Trichardt begrawe word. Foto verskaf.
Die welbekende mnr. Ron Faber van Louis Trichardt is verlede Vrydag, 2 Augustus, skielik in die ouderdom van 70 jaar oorlede.

Ten tye van haar afsterwe was sy woonagtig in Polokwane. Belinda was vir jare ‘n bekende en geliefde inwoner van Louis Trichardt. Huldeblyke en boodskappe van medelye aan haar familie het van heinde en verre ingestroom. ‘n Roudiens vir haar is Woensdag, 7 Augustus, vanuit die NG Moedergemeente gehou. Foto verskaf.
The 44-year-old Nkhumeleni Matshikiri was convicted last week of murdering his girlfriend for not giving him a satisfactory answer to a question. On the morning of 3 May 2017, the lifeless body of Ms Luambo Jennifer Netshivangani (26) of Madombidzha was found next to the railway line along the Schoemansdal road near Tshiozwi. She had been stabbed 12 times with a knife. The police investigation led investigators to Matshikiri, her boyfriend at the time. He later handed himself over to the police and on 10 May of that same year made a written confession to stabbing Netshivangani to death. What should have been an easy conviction for the State turned into a protracted trial, with Matshikiri changing his plea to not guilty, claiming that his initial written confession had been given under duress. The case ended up being somewhat of a trial within a trial, with the court having to decide over
the legitimacy of the original confession. Matshikiri made several court appearances, with his case being postponed numerous times. All the while he remained in custody. At one stage, Matshikiri also claimed that he had an alibi for not killing Netshivangani and called a witness to back up his claim. The court was not impressed with this claim, ruling that both Matshikiri and his witness’s testimony were totally untrustworthy. Matshikiri’s court charades came to an end on 31 July when the Louis Trichardt Regional Court found him guilty of Netshivangani’s murder, allowing his original written confession into evidence. In his confession, Matshikiri stated that on 30 April 2017, he accompanied Netshivangani to her home for the weekend. On the morning of 1 May, Netshivangani told him that she was going to work in Louis Trichardt and Matshikiri went back to his kraal. Matshikiri stated that later that same day, he realised that he still had Netshivangani’s house key and went back to her place at about 18:00. She was
nowhere to be found. He then drove to Hamatsa (Nzhelele) where he had another girlfriend. At about 13:00 on 2 May, Matshikiri stated, Netshivangani had phoned him. He then drove back to unlock her house since he had the key, picking her up along the way. “After a while, while we were in my motor vehicle, I asked her about her whereabouts the previous day. She did not give me a satisfactory answer and I became angry. It was then I drove my motor vehicle, together with her, towards Tshiozwi location next to the railway line, where I stabbed her to death,” reads Matshikiri’s confession. He added that after stabbing Netshivangani, he had left her next to the road, driven back to his residence and dumped the knife in an outside pit toilet. Because murder is subject to a minimum sentence of 15 years for a first offender, Matshikiri’s sentencing was postponed for the completion of a pre-sentencing report. His case was placed on the court roll for 26 to 28 Augusts this year for sentencing. In the meantime, he will continue to remain in custody.
Total shutdown in Elim as angry pupils take to the streets By Kaizer Nengovhela
Residents of the Elim area and the pupils of the Rivoni School for the Blind blocked entrances and exits to the mall and other areas as part of a total shutdown on Tuesday. The Elim area came to a standstill - no schooling took place, no transport operated in the area and businesses were closed. A heavy police presence monitored the situation. The reason for the shutdown was apparently the bad infrastructure at the Rivoni School for the Blind. Parents and pupils demanded better classrooms and a hostel. They are accusing the Department of Education of neglecting them. A community leader, Mr Nelson Mabobo, said that the former MEC for Education, Mr Ishmael Kgetjepe, had visited the school after the pupils had gone on strike in 2016, and he had promised to build the hostel and classrooms.
Vrou (31) in hof op klagte van bedrog
He further said that the former Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Mr Michael Masutha, had promised to intervene to improve the bad conditions at the school when he had visited and seen the state of the buildings. Mabobo said that the new MEC for Education, Ms Polly Boshielo, had changed the plan that was promised by Kgetjepe and she said that she could not build the new structure at the school and that the cost of a new building was too high. He said that the community decided to intervene and closed the schools, businesses and roads to support the pupils. He said that the conditions at the school made it very difficult for education to proceed smoothly. “The walls and roof may fall in at any time. We risk the lives of our children every day,” he said. “Something must be done before we lose lives of our kids in this dangerous situation. We want the MEC for Education, Polly Boshielo, to come down and see the conditions where our pupils are being taught. Look at other schools in the province and you’ll see that some of them even have the luxury of air conditioners.” The spokesperson for the Department of Educa-
tion, Mr Sam Makondo, said that a huge backlog existed. He said that they were going to build new classrooms, an admin block, sports facilities and a kitchen in phase one and, after completion of this phase, they would continue with the next phases. He appealed to the community not to disturb the education process and to allow the children and educators to go back to class. He said that the representatives had met with the MEC on Tuesday and they had agreed that they were going to announce the dates when were they going to start building at the end of this month.

‘n Vrou van Louis Trichardt, die 31-jarige Tersia van Jaarsveld, het op 2 Augustus in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof verskyn op klagte van bedrog. Haar arrestasie en hofverskyning hou verband met verdagte transaksies van bykans R120 000 wat plaasgevind het terwyl sy werksaam was as administratiewe bestuurder by plaaslike besigheid Monti Mart. Sy is intussen uit diens ontslaan by die besigheid na ‘n dissiplinêre verhoor. Van Jaarsveld is op waarskuwing vrygelaat. Haar saak is uitgestel tot 6 September vir verdere polisieondersoek.

This week, 25 years ago in the
Zoutpansberger The lead story 25 years ago concerned the deadlock reached in the negotiation forum tasked to determine the boundaries of the new municipality. The former town council members argued that only the town and areas close to it shall be included. A delegation representing residents of Waterval and Vleifontein were present, arguing that the new municipality should be inclusive and cater for areas much further away. The Minister of Housing and Local Government’s representative, Mr W Madonsela had quite a task steering the matter to conclusion and avoid a situation where the premier of the province would be asked to make a decision. Die winde van verandering op politieke front het duidelik begin waai en veral rondom die toekenning van begrotings. Die regering se Heropbou en Ontwikkelingsproses het in werking begin kom en een van die eerste plaaslike projekte was die bou van huise in areas soos Vleifontein, Vuwani en Mutale. Die lid van die Nasionale Ekonomiese Forum, Moss Tseli (wat later jare LP
sou word) het aangekondig dat R19 miljoen vir projekte in die Soutpansberg toegeken is. En laastens ... net vir interessantheid: Die Louis Trichardt biblioteek het aangekondig dat boetes verhoog op uitstaande boeke. Die boetegeld vir inwoners wat boeke uitneem en dit laat terugbesorg, is verhoog na 50c per boek per week of gedeelte daarvan.

Die ouditeure het dit opgetel Ek wil graag teruggaan want baie mense is met baie vrae en die geld is deur die nie bewus van die werk wat eintlik plaasgevind het om hierdie dorp aan die gang te hou nie. Ons provinsie terugbetaal in die spesigaan terug tot die sluiting van die kopermyn jare fieke rekening en die hospitaal staan gelede waar daar 10 000 mense in diens was. Dit tot vandag toe nog. Daar was amper internasionale was ‘n uiters moeilike tyd. Daar was ‘n droogte insidente, want hy het beplan om in die omgewing en mense het Messina verlaat walle in die Limpoporivier te teen ‘n tempo. Johan was altyd positief en het nooit gehuiwer bou en een op Beitbrug. Toe die ‘bulldozers’ van die weermag begin om vorentoe te gaan nie en as ek praat, praat ek oop skraap, staan die Zimbabwivan die munisipale gebou. Hy het dit beplan en ese weermag aan die ander kant basies deurgedruk onder baie moeilike omstanen wil weet wat aangaan! Bietjie hier en bietjie daar en die keerwal is gebou. In dieselfde ‘maindrif’ is daar ook ‘n keerwal in die rivier gebou wat Johan self gereël het. Sonder daardie walle kan ek vir u sê sou daar ‘n groot krisis in Messina gewees het. Messina het toe desentralisasie voordele en as gevolg hiervan kon ons fabrieke oprig met sekere voordele vir betaling ens. Messina Canning is gebou maar het ongelukkig nie lang gehou nie. Hul het insolvent geraak en daarna het Langeberg-fabriek verrys waar Johan ‘n groot rol gespeel het. Daar was 600 mense in diens en as Wyle Johan Kok.

briek toegemaak en kleiner gegaan. M-pak, wat aan Flip Nel behoort het, kon as gevolg van die desentra lisasie voordele in Messina oopmaak en vandag voer hul van hul produkte uit. Die KSOK-gebou was opgerig. Toe kom die groot storie en Anglo American se mense daag hier op met ‘suits’ en ‘ties’. Ons het gepraat oor die oopmaak van Venetia Myn. Een van die voorwaardes wat hul gestel het was dat daar ‘n grysgebied moet wees. Dit was ongehoord vir die politiek maar vir Johan was dit geen probleem nie. Hy het die hele Raad in die kar gelaai en ons het met die provinsie onderhandel. Die eerste grysgebied in Suid-Afrika, was in Messina geproklameer. Ek dink dit het De Beers baie moed gegee en so het die storie aangegaan. Die teerpad is gebou na Venetia Myn en tot vandag is Venetia Myn se mense nog hier. Johan beskou die amalgamasie van die twee stadsrade, Messina en Nancefield in een oorgangsraad as ‘n besonderse prestasie oor die wyse waarop dit plaasgevind het en die feit dat dit plaasgevind het sonder om ‘n ekstra skuldlas op die inwo ners se skouers te plaas. Ons het saam gedien op die Distriks Ontwikkeling Komitee en daar was baie ontwikkeling gedoen. Ons praat van kraglyne wat oor die hele gebied loop, teerpaaie en vele ander meer items wat vandag staan. Johan het ‘n groot rol hierin gespeel. Hy was lief vir boer en visvang. Johan was ‘n uitstekende rugbyspeler en gelukkig was daar nie rooikaarte daai tyd nie. Hy het tot ‘n hoë ouderdom rugby gespeel en Verre-Noord verteenwoordig. Johan
was ook ‘n kranige gholfspeler en het bygedra tot die gholfklub se toonbeeld. Die Messina-skou was seker die beste in Suid-Afrika! Hy het dit gereël vir jare en jare en dit was altyd groot pret en baie groot ‘sports’ om saam met hom op die komitees te dien. Johan het op beide skole se bestuursliggaam gedien en was ‘n sterk kerkman wat baie vir

die NG-kerk gedoen het. Ek kan lank aangaan maar om af te sluit hoor ek gereeld dat hier het ‘n “Groot Kremetartboom” geval het. Ek kan net sê, en met alle respek aan die ander kremetartbome, dat hierdie seker een van die grootste kremetartbome is wat nog in Messina geval het. Rus in vrede ou maat!

AUGUST AND CRAFTS 10 ARTS MARKET AT SPCA
An arts & crafts market will be held at the Louis Trichardt SPCA on 10 August. The market will coincide with the SPCA’s monthly farmer’s market. According to Mr Wayne Page, one of the organisers, the aim of the market is to establish a platform for local craftsmen. Exhibitors who produce handcrafted goods and food stuffs are welcome. They discourage exhibitors who sell mass-produced products. The arts & crafts market promises to be a fun-filled event, with horse rides for the children, face painting and lots of games. A potjiekos competition will also take place where teams can enter to find out who is the best chef. All proceeds of the potjiekos competition go towards the local SPCA. The fee for entering the potjiekos competition is R100 per team. Those who want to taste the best dishes can buy tickets at R50 each. Lots of attractive prizes can be won. Apart from the potjiekos, there will also be atchar, biltong, biscuits, books, Boerewors rolls, chutney, clothing, cold drinks, pancakes, stokworsies, water and much more on sale. The market starts at 09:00 and should continue until 16:00. For more information, phone Wayne at Tel 063 673 9244.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe
“Die slang was listiger as al die wilde diere...” – Genesis 3:1-6.
I
n Genesis 3 ontmoet ons die versoeker, wat hom toegespits het op die kroon van God se skepping as sy beste werktuig om God teen te staan. Soos dit die duiwel goed pas en soos hy dit dikwels nog doen, het hy homself voorgedoen as ‘n verklaarder van die skrif. Sy eerste opgetekende woorde in die Ou Testament werp twyfel op God se gesproke woord. “Is dit ook so dat God gesê het...?” Sy eerste woorde in die Nuwe Testament, werp twyfel op God se lewende Woord (Mattheus 4:3). Met die saad van twyfel aan God se goedheid, kom ook die verdraaiing van die Skrif toe hy hulle vryheid, om van al die bome vrylik te eet, verswyg, en op die een verbod, om nie van die een sekere boom te eet nie, bly hamer. Toe Eva aan twyfel toegee, vergroot sy die strengheid van die verbod, asof God ‘n harde meester is en verklein die erns van die oortreding, asof God ‘n versagtende regter is. Sy gebruik sy Woord, maar laat die woord “vry” uit (Gen. 2:16), wat vir God minder goed en vrygewig laat voorkom. Met God se goedheid en liefde reeds bevraag teken en sy Woord reeds verdraai, word nou ‘n openlike aanval op God se waaragtigheid en betroubaarheid geloods! As God sê: “... anders sal julle sekerlik sterwe”, laat Eva die woord “sekerlik” uit en verander ‘n gewisse sekerheid in ‘n waarskynlike moontlikheid. Toe sien die duiwel sy kans om te sê: “Julle sal gewis nie sterwe nie ... julle oë sal oopgaan sodat julle soos God sal wees.” Hy het haar niks minder nie as ‘n sogenaamde kortpad na gelykheid met die Allerhoogste en onafhanklikheid van Hom voorgehou. Presies daarvoor val die mens en presies dit, jou reg op jouself, is die kern van die mens se grootste probleem. - Ds Johan Marais (Baptistekerk, LTT)

New “buyer” for VBS, but where’s the money? By Anton van Zyl
A company claiming to represent the minority shareholders of VBS Mutual Bank has made an offer to purchase the bank and save it from being liquidated. What is uncertain, however, is whether the company tasked to do the buying has the necessary capital for such a transaction or any legitimate backers. Last week, the VBS Stakeholders Forum sent out a press release, stating that the forum, together with its financial backers, had made an offer of R2 billion to purchase VBS Mutual Bank. “The offer has been delivered to the provisional liquidator, Mr Anoosh Rooplal, the Reserve Bank governor, Mr Lesetja Kganyago and the Registrar of Banks/CEO Prudential Authority, Mr Kuben Naidoo on 25 July 2019,” said the forum’s spokesperson, Mr M Muvhulawa. The forum further threatens that, should the Reserve Bank and the provisional liquidator not respond within 14 days, an urgent court application will be launched for a review of the liquidation and curatorship process. Earlier this year, the forum announced that it had mandated Africapacity Investment Group to “rescue, commercialize and recapitalize” VBS Mutual Bank. A task team was compiled to investigate and evaluate all facts surrounding the VBS saga. Africapacity came to the conclusion that National Treasury was the main contributor of VBS’s liquidity crisis, by instructing municipalities to withdraw their investment. It also accused the Reserve Bank of blocking investment funds to the tune of $75 million (roughly R1,05 billion) that was allegedly paid into Africapacity’s account by overseas investors. Africapacity’s chief executive officer, Mr AM Moagi, refers in a letter addressed to the provisional liquidator to a meeting that took place on 12 July 2019. During this meeting, the provisional liquidator was notified that Africapacity’s “International Investment Committee had approved the recovery of VBS Mutual Bank by way of rescuing it from liquidation and capitalizing the New VBS Commercial Bank.” From what could be deduced, the group was told that any purchase offer must be approved by the SA Reserve Bank. A letter was subsequently sent to the Reserve Bank and the provi-
sional liquidator, offering to purchase the mutual bank, including its debt book, the assets and the loan book. A “guaranteed amount” of R2 billion was made available for this purpose. “The new commercial bank shall be capitalised with an approved guaranteed amount of R3 billion, which amount shall be the investment loan of the commercial bank,” said Moagi in the letter. Moagi said that Africapacity’s “International Investment Committee” had approved a loan enhancement capital amount of $575 million in support of the final agreed offer. The parties were given 14 days to accept and sign the purchase offer.
our funds, we can turn VBS into one of the major banks and we’ve got enough capital. We’re saying we’re ready to take this bank up,” he said. When Gumede questioned him on where the funds would come from for this venture, Ratlabala was very evasive. “That one is a topic for another day. But we have raised the money … it’s not a new story. They [SARB] know about it,” he said. Questions about Africapacity’s funders and the company structure were sent through to the VBS Stakeholders Forum, but were answered by Enock Ratlabala. “We are awaiting the … provisional liquidator, and the SA Reserve to accept the rescue offer. Once Not so fast, says SARB Bank they have accepted, we will do a press When the provisional liquidator, conference and your questions will Mr Anoosh Rooplal, was approached be covered at the press conference,” for comment, he warned against he said jumping to quick conclusions. “We Who are the investors? have always and will continue to engage with parties that have made In April this year, Limpopo Mirror unsolicited offers to purchase various tried to find out who Africapacity reassets of the Bank.

The conditions and interest is between us and our funders and it is not for public consumption.” In documents provided during an earlier press conference, two organisations that facilitated the funds are mentioned, namely Manna World Holdings Sovereign Trust and the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (SPDB). Both these institutions have chequered reputations. In January 2018, the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank was fined $72 million for illegal lending activities. This was one of the stiffest penalties handed out in China’s crackdown on wrongdoing in its financial markets. The China Banking Regulatory Commission’s bureau in the Sichuan province accused the Chengdu branch of SPDB of falsifying loan deals and hiding non-performing assets. The bank is, however, one of China’s big commercial banks. According to Reuters, the bank operates its businesses in domestic and overseas markets, with China as its main market. Manna World Holdings Sovereign Trust (MWHST) is apparently some sort of cult movement, believing in a new world order where money does not fall under the control of governments. On one website, the “Kingdom of Manna” trust is described as “the keeper of the collateral accounts for all nations. After many attempts by Manna to release funds to Nations and (being) blocked by the elites and corrupt governments, the Kingdom of Manna has been established to free up Nations and give back Sovereignty to all.” The “leaders” are apparently a certain Kimberly Ann Goguen, Terrance Cameron McDonald, a self-professed priest, and Lewis E Taylor, a self-professed philanthropist. In an effort to prove that the SA Reserve Bank does not have the authority to regulate the banking industry, Africapacity distributed a letter supposedly written and signed by Manna’s “Acting Head of State”, Kimberly Ann Goguen. In the letter, she claims that the SARB is a corporation owned wholly by MWHST. She then proceeds to “give it back” to the people of the country. “Manna World Holding Trust recognizes the only Royal Monarchs of South Africa to be the Tribal Kings as appointed by the people,” she states.

“Daar is soveel om voor dankie te sê en dankbaar te wees” Die 70-jarige mnr. Harry du Plessis, wat op 8 Julie wreed op sy kleinhoewe buite Louis Trichardt aangeval is, skryf:
E
k is weer tuis en het reeds 15 Julie begin werk. Ek is bly om te kan sê dat ek goed herstel het van die steekwonde wat ek tydens die aanval opgedoen het. Graag wil ek baie dankie sê aan die Hemelse Vader wat my gespaar het en die geleentheid gegee het om hierdie bedanking te doen. Baie dankie, Marilize Botha, die buurvrou wat alles gelos het en my hospitaal toe bestuur het. Sy is ook van die plaaswag wat al die nodige mense in kennis gestel het van die aanval. ‘n Groot dankie ook aan dokters Anneke Malan en Pieter de Wet wat my dadelik onder hande geneem het en die nodige gedoen het, soos steke ingesit het en ‘n dreinering in die long. Laasgenoemde was die seerste van die hele oefening. So ook ER-ambulansdienste wat my afgevoer het Tzaneen toe. Inderdaad was hulle baie professioneel. Dankie ook aan dr. Gert van der Merwe wat my ná twee die oggend in Tzaneen ingewag het om te behandel. Baie dankie aan Lilian van Niekerk, wat
alles gelos en my kom bystaan by die hospitaal en al die nodige kansellasies van bankkaarte ensovoorts gedoen het. Neef Louis Venter van Levubu, baie dankie vir jou besoeke. Ek wil ook baie dankie sê aan pastoor Chris Mattheus van die Agapé-gemeente wat vir my kom bid het, asook past. Christo van Rooijen en past. Wietz Oosthuizen van die Lede in Christus kerk in Polokwane vir die besoeke en gemeente se gebede. Dankie ook aan Bikers for Christ se pastoor André, asook die vyf biskoppe by Westminster Abbey in Londen wat vir my gebid het. Baie dankie aan al die vriende en kennisse vir julle hulp en bystand. Daar is net te veel om te noem en as daar iemand is wat ek dalk vergeet het om te noem, vra ek om verskoning. Dit sluit in al die manne (en vroue) van die dorps- en plaaswag. Dankie ook vir diegene wat my ge steelde bakkie so vinnig weer teruggekry het. Daar is soveel om voor dankie te sê en om voor dankbaar te wees. Baie dankie aan die hele gemeenskap oor al die kleurgrense heen vir julle ondersteuning. Dit sluit in Aaron Mbedzi wat onmiddellik verlof geneem het om my kleinhoewe en plaasdiere te kom oppas. Laastens, maar nie minste, nie wil ek die
Heilige Gees bedank wat die nag van 9 Julie tot my gespreek het en gesê het ek moet vergewe en prys spreek. Ek het dit gedoen en dit het my kop skoongemaak.
Die 70-jarige Harry du Plessis is weer tuis.

Triegies se meisies het weereens uitstekend presteer deur Top 10 plekke te behaal, met Christelle Coetzer en Eliz-Mari Pretorius wat tweede plekke ingepalm het. Die skool se Vossie van Zyl het met slegs vyf sekondes ‘n derde plek in haar ouderdomsgroep misgeloop, terwyl nog een van die skool se ster meisiesryers, Jennavieve Truter, nie die wedren kon voltooi nie weens ‘n tegniese probleem. Afgeneem is Triegies se span ryers in Nelspruit. Foto verskaf.

Lys van sportklubs Die Zoutpansberger is besig om ‘n gids saam te stel wat die sportklubs in die dorp en onmiddellike omgewing insluit. Die idee is om die inligting op ons webtuiste te stoor waar ons ‘n blad vir elke klub genereer. Vir die volgende klompie maande wil ons probeer om elke week rofweg ‘n halfblad in die koerant af te staan aan ‘n spesifieke sportklub. Hierdie inligting word dan oorgedra na die webtuiste. In elke week se koerant is daar dan ook ‘n lys met al die sportklubs wat weekliks verskyn. Die plan is om langs elke sportklub se naam ‘n QR-skakel te hê wat dan wys na die webblad. Daar is geen koste verbonde aan die projek nie. Dit is nie ‘n kommersiële projek nie en ons idee is slegs om inwoners meer bewus te maak van die geaffilieerde sportklubs en hulle in staat te stel om vinnig en maklik uit te vind watter sportklubs is aktief in die streek en hoe om hulle te kontak.

Louis Trichardt gasheer van senior liga semi-finaal Die span van Laerskool Louis Trichardt wat aan die interprovinsiale byeenkoms in Mbombela deelgeneem het. Weerskante van die span staan die twee bestuurders en helpers, Mark Archer (links) en Kobus Ehlers.
Jong Triegies beïndruk Fietrynuus
Limpopo se fietsryers het hulself goed van hul taak gekwyt tydens ‘n interprovinsiale byeenkoms wat Saterdag in Mbombela in Mpumalanga plaasgevind het. Verskeie van Laerskool Louis Trichardt se fietsryers het ook deelgeneem en gewys hoekom die Soutpansberg se juniors so hoog aangeslaan word. Die deelnemers aan Saterdag se kompetisie is gekies op grond van hul prestasies tydens die skolereeks. Die beste twee fietsryers in elke ouderdomsgroep uit die top vyf skole wat deelneem, is gekies vir die Limpopo-span. Volgens een van die spanbestuurders van Laerskool Louis Trichardt se span, Mark Archer, was die kompetisie straf, maar die kinders het hul alles gegee. Die span moes Vrydag reeds vroeg vertrek en het eers laat Saterdagaand teruggekeer. Die groep wat die beste gevaar het, was die Nipper-seuns (o.10).
Limpopo se fietsryers het agt uit die eerste 10 plekke opgeraap. Laerskool Louis Trichardt se uitslae is soos volg: * Nipper Seuns: Gerhard Furstenberg 4de, Peroux du Preez 6de * Nipper Meisies: Cara Bruce 6de, Ane Snyman 15de * Sprog Seuns: Robert Ooms 15de, Matthew Lee 33ste * Sub Juniors Meisies: Eleen Furstenberg 13de, Catelyn de Beer 24ste * Sub Junior Seuns: Jacques du Preez 37ste, Zander Krugel 39ste * Sub Nipper Meisies: Elouise Krugel 6de * Sub Nipper Seuns: Aiden Bruce 11de, Ruan de Beer 21ste. Die spanlede het ‘n spesiale woord van dank gerig aan mnr. Kobus Ehlers vir sy geduld met die aanry van die fietsryers asook al die ander ma’s en pa’s wat saamgegaan het. Volgende jaar word die kompetisie in Limpopo aangebied en dan is dit weer Mpumalanga se beurt om te reis.

Die tweede spanne wat die dag sake teenmekaar sal uitspook is Noordelikes teen Letaba, terwyl Louis Trichardt teen Potties te staan sal kom. Wat die eerstespanne betref, sal Noordelikes teen Potties kragte meet, terwyl Louis Trichardt teen Letaba op die veld sal draf. Tans beklee Louis Trichardt se eer ste- en tweedespan ‘n eerste plek op die provinsiale punteleer. Dit beteken dat,
sou hulle hul semi-finale wedstryde wen, dit die eerste keer in jare sal wees wat Louis Trichardt die finaal van die liga sal aanbied. Dit geld ook vir die dorp se derde span. “Die tuisveldvoordeel op 17 Augustus tel definitief in ons guns,” het Gilbert gesê. Toegang by die hek die dag is gratis en verversings en ‘n kontantkroeg sal beskikbaar wees. “Ondersteuners is ook welkom om met hul gasbraaiers langs die veld te kom braai,” het Kevin gesê.
