By Andries van Zyl At the age of 17, Safvan Patel of Eltivillas, Louis Trichardt, holds a distinction very few others in his age group can lay claim to, namely that he is a qualified pilot. He obtained his private pilot’s licence (PPL) from the Wings Over Africa flying school in Tzaneen on 22 August this year, which now qualifies him to fly a four-seat, single-engine plane solo and a six-seat single-engine plane with a safety pilot. Obtaining his PPL saw the culmination of three years of hard work, with Safvan having to juggle his school responsibilities, including his Grade 12 academic career and duties as current head boy of Ridgeway College, with his flying classes. But in the end, everything was worth it and a dream come true for him. “When I turned 14, I decided that I wanted to become a pilot. Initially, I had no direction, because I am coming from a society where becoming a pilot or police officer is not really that recognised. I did not know what to do, but what motivated me and gave me direction was that I had a friend in high school who was also becoming a pilot. He is graduated now and at Stellenbosch,” said Safvan.Safvan said his friend guided him and even called his parents. They wanted Safvan to become a doctor, but supported their son in his decision. “In December 2019, just before Covid, we went to the flight school. They showed me around, and that was when I decided I was going to do this,” said Safvan. Safvan explained that one can start flying whenever you want and could see children as young as 12 or 13 year sitting in the cockpit of a plane with an instructor. “But you will only be able to start flying solo and start writing your exams after the age of 16,” said Safvan. He added that you can get a student pilot’s licence after the age of 16 for training purposes, but to get your PPL, you need to be 17 years of age and older. To qualify for his PPL, Safvan had to complete a cross-country flight. “The exam is a practical flight, but there is an oral part initially where they test your aviation knowledge,” said Safvan. This, among others, includes knowledge about your aircraft, map reading, the use of coordinates and a GPS, and how the weather works, for example in context of the South African climate. After passing the oral part of the exam, students will then be asked to compile a flight plan. “My flight plan was from Tzaneen, where I took off, to Marble Hall and from there to Polokwane Civil Airport. From Polokwane Civil it went to the ZZ2 headquarters at Mooketsi and then back to Tzaneen,” said Safvan. Then the time came for Safvan to take off. “Your examiner is like you first passenger in the plane. He will just sit there, watch what you are doing, and just ask you random questions like any passenger will do. (Contd on P2)

Jy kan ook seker wees dat jy gered is en aan die Here behoort. Laat niemand jou daarvan weghou nie. “Dit het ek geskrywe aan julle wat glo in die Naam van die Seun van God, sodat julle kan weet dat julle die ewige lewe het, en kan glo in die Naam van die Seun van God.” (1 Johannes 5:13).

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

“This is yet another milestone in our effort to deliver infrastructure that enables service delivery to our people,” Mbalula said. The R640 million project commenced in 2015, although actual construction only started in April 2016. The project was expected to be completed by 2018, but the first contractor, Ba sil Read Ltd, went into business rescue before it was finished. A new contractor, Raubex, was appointed in 2020, but because of the Covid-19 restrictions, progress was delayed. According to Mbalula, the project created 275 full-time jobs at a cost of more than R28 million. More than R51 million was spent on local subcontractors. The development is expected to ease traffic congestion and reduce motorists’ travelling time around Musina, as long-distance trucks coming into and leaving South Africa can now use this ring road. Musina’s acting mayor, Cllr Victor Ma navhela, thanked the minister for doing the honours. “The opening of this ring road came at precisely the right time, with the physical infrastructure work for the Musina-Makhado Special Zone also just having kicked off. Our desire of becoming a city in the near future is finally unfolding. As a provincial growth point, this development will help to enhance our local economic development initiatives. Further more, this state-of-the-art road network means faster and more effective mobility, making var ious destinations more accessible than before,” said Manavhela.

“Een ding weet ek: dat ek blind was en nou sien.” Johannes 9:25. Hier het ons ‘n geval waar ‘n man blind gebore was en deur die Here Jesus genees is. Die Fariseërs was nie tevrede dat hy op die Sabbat genees is nie en het hom ondervra.Dieblindgeborene het eintlik net een argument gehad: “Een ding weet ek, dat ek blind was en nou sien.” Vir hom was dit die grootste gebeurtenis van sy lewe. Om blind te wees, om in duisternis te leef, om die kleure van die natuur en die gesigte van jou dierbares nie te sien nie, moet ‘n droewige staat wees. Daarvan is hy nou verlos.Maar om geestelik blind te wees, om jou eie natuurlike toestand nie te besef nie, om die wondere van die koninkryk van die hemele nie te sien nie, is nog treuriger. En hoeveel verkeer nie nog in hierdie toestand nie? Kan jy reeds sê: Een ding weet ek, dat ek blind was en nou sien? Daar is baie mense wat sê dat ‘n persoon nie aan hierdie kant van die graf kan seker wees van jou saligheid nie. Hoe anders klink die getuienis van Job: “Maar ek, ek weet my Verlosser leef.” (Job 19:25). En van die apostel Paulus: “Ek weet in wie ek geglo het, en ek is oortuig dat Hy mag het om my pand te bewaar tot die dag toe.” (2 Timoteus 1:12).

(Contd from P1) “Questions like: ‘What does this do? How does this work and why are we doing this?’ He won’t correct you. If you make a mistake, he will just write it down,” said Safvan. Although Safvan obtained his PPL and is allowed to fly around friends and family, he is not allowed to make money from it. For this, he would need a commercial pilot’s licence and this is exactly what he is plan ning for next. “I am planning to start my commercial licence but with a degree as well – a Bachelor of Science in Aviation – at L3Harris flying school in London next year. I am going overseas because South Africa, aviation wise, is not looking good,” said Safvan. What makes thing easier for him to study overseas is that he has British citizenship.Wouldhe recommend his ca reer choice to everyone? Inter estingly enough, his answer is no. “It is a passion for me, but I would not recommend it for ev erybody, especially for someone starting with no knowledge. If you wake up one day and say, ‘I want to become a pilot’, then it is not for you. It must be a pas sion for you from a young age. There are lots of exams and you need to know what you are doing. It is also very expensive and, they don’t guarantee you a job,” said Safvan. He added that you also have to sacrifice a lot of your time and, once you become a qualified pilot, you will also have to sacrifice a lot of time away from you family. “Your job might require you to fly over Christmas or our Eid It is a matter of sacrifice,” said Safvan, but he seems more than willing to make that sacrifice. As for the immediate future, Safvan will, however, still need to finish school. He has already started with his Grade 12 trial exams, with his final exams starting on 24 October. Regard ing this, he timed obtaining his PPL perfectly.

Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

Deur Andries van Zyl Inwoners van Louis Trichardt en Tshikota moes nog ‘n week van droë krane oorleef terwyl die Vhembe Distriksmunisi paliteit (VDM) voortploeter in hulle pogings om gebarste pype en lekke te herstel. Die rede vir die afgelope week se waterskaarste was dieself de waterlek wat sedert 20 Augustus reeds twee keer “herstel” is. Intussen sit som mige inwoners en besighede nou al vir byna vyf weke sonder enige munisipale water. “Dit is verby onaanvaar baar dat ‘n waterlek (waarvan almal bewus is vir meer as drie weke) nie herstel is tydens die “Albasini waterplant shut down” nie. Hoe kan ‘n dorp voortbestaan op hierdie trant?” skryf inwoner Ronel Welman op die “Louis Trichardt Water Shedding” Facebook-bladsy. Op dieselfde bladsy wil Chantel De Troch weet of die gemeenskap nie maar die arme mense moet gaan help om die lek reg te maak nie. “Dit lyk my nie hulle kom reg nie,” skryf sy. “Ek wil net graag weet, werk daai mense onder toesig of nie, want hel, dis is nou al hoe lank dat ons nie water het nie en ons is nou mooi gatvol vir dit. Dit kos inwoners ‘n klomp geld om water te koop,” het Magriet Maria geskryf. Met min antwoorde of verduidelikings van die VDM is die koerant weer genoop om antwoorde elders te probeer kry, soos by die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) se wyksraadslid, Pierre“DieSmalle.herstelwerk is by die selfde plek as laas. Dit het oor die naweek weer uitgeskiet,” het Smalle by navraag gesê. Hy het verwys na die plek waar die dorp se ou hooftoervoerpyplyn onderdeur die Levubu-pad kom, ‘n paar kilometer buite Louis Trichardt. Die pyp het die eerste keer uitgeskiet nadat ‘n kontrakteur ‘n betonblok met sy tru-grawer beskadig het wat ‘n kritieke 90° hoek op die pyplyn in plek gehou het om te verhoed dat die waterdrukking by die hoek die pype uitmekaar druk. Die kontrakteur was besig om die nuwe waterpyplyn na die dorp, parallel met die ou waterpyplyn, te lê. Omdat die betonblok be skadig is en nie meer die 90° hoekpyp in plek kon hou nie, het die waterdrukking die pyp laat uitskiet. Die probleem is op 20 Augustus gerapporteer.

Om dit te herstel, moes die wa tertoevoer na Louis Trichardt gestaak word. Op 25 Augustus is die lek uiteindelik herstel, maar kort nadat weer begin is om water te pomp, het die pyp op dieselfde plek weer begin lek. Weer moes die watertoe voer na die dorp opgeskort word. Weer is dieselfde lek her stel en teen verlede Vrydag eers kon die pomp van water hervat word. Weer het die herstelwerk misluk en die pyp begin lek. “Maandag en Dinsdag het hulle plan verander en met die nuwe herstelwerk het die kon trakteur die koppelstuk en pyp vervang met staal, om die druk te kan hanteer. Lyk my, en ons hou duim vas, dit werk en niks nuut kom op nie,” het Smalle Woensdagoggend aan die Zoutpansberger gesê. Vhembe het toe reeds begin om weer water na die dorp te pomp, met mense in laagliggende dele wat gerapporteer het dat hulle ná weke weer water begin kry het. Nog ‘n waterlek waarmee Vhembe nou reeds sedert 6 Augustus spook, is die lek op die hoek van Ruh- en Kru gerstraat in Louis Trichardt. Volgens Smalle sukkel hulle met ‘n foutiewe lugklep wat op die pyplyn is wat water na die Mowkop reservoir voer. “As ek reg onthou, het die kontrakteur [nie dieselfde een wat op die Levubu-pad werk nie] genoem dat die lugkleppe baie oud is en eintlik vervang moet word en hulle herstelwerk was eintlik tydelik, sodat daar nie ‘n afska keling [van water] sou wees nie. Dit was die doelwit. Hulle het laat weet dat die middelste stuk wat die lugklep oop- en toemaak, gebreek het. So, hulle het dit uitgehaal en die lugklep weer toegemaak, tot hulle goedkeuring kry om die lugklep te vervang,” het Smalle gesê. Hoe lank dit gaan neem, weet nugterSmallealleen.hetgesê hy sukkel met dieselfde uitdagings as dié waarmee inwoners sit wat Vhembe betref. “Die frustrasie begin met kommunikasie. As ons net gesê kan word wat aangaan, voordat ons self moet uitvind, help dit al klaar.” Smalle het voortgegaan deur te sê hy is deeglik bewus dat nie veel onderhoud aan die bestaande pypleiding vanaf die Albasinidam gedoen is die afgelope 15 na 20 jaar nie. “Mense van die dorp moet besef die dorp se waterstorie is ‘n bom wat wag om te ontplof. Louis Trichardt gaan aanhou sukkel tot die nuwe pyplyn be gin water verskaf,” het Smalle gesê. Volgens Smalle is die huidige waterkrisis ‘n direkte oorsaak van swak beplanning ten opsigte van die snelle pas waarmee die dorp uitbrei en die feit dat die huidige water infrastruktuur nie kan tred hou nie. “Die gevolge is duidelik sigbaar. As wyksraadslid vir die dorp sal ek konstante druk ui toefen op die amptenare en die munisipaliteit, asook om met werkende voorstelle na vore te kom,” het Smalle gesê. Vrae oor die omvang en oorsaak van die mees onlangse watertekort is aan Vhembe gestuur. “Die pyplyn is laat gisteraand herstel,” was al ant woord wat die koerant ontvang het.

The long-awaited N1 Musina ring road was officially opened – to the delight of many road users - on Thursday, 1 September. The Minister of Transport, Mr Fikile Mbalula, did the honours. In his opening speech, Mbalula thanked the local communities and businesspeople for working together to contribute to South Africa’s National Development Plan to invest in a strong network of economic structures designed to support the country’s medium- and long-term objectives for sustainable and inclu sive growth by 2030.

Die Baobab- en Elandstraat kruising is nie die enigste krui sing in Louis Trichardt waar ‘n gevaarlike situasie geskep word weens ‘n gebrek aan verkeerstekens of onvoldoende verkeerstekens wat nie aan die minimum vereistes voldoen nie. Een so ‘n geval is die stopteken in De La Reystraat, waar dit kruis met Forestryweg. Die teken is al so verbleik dat dit skaars sigbaar is. Daarbene wens staan die stopteken skaar ‘n meter hoog, want blykbaar Louis Trichardt se verkeerstekens is in ‘n haglike toestand. Een so ‘n geval is die stopteken in De La Reystraat, waar dit kruis met Forestryweg. Die teken is al so verbleik dat dit skaars sigbaar is. Daarbenewens staan die stopteken skaar ‘n meter hoog, want blykbaar soos die paal afroes word die oor blywende stukkie net weer dieper die in grond ingedruk.

Die stoptekens aan weers kante van Elandstraat het, vir watter rede ook al, vermis/ verwyderd geraak, wat daartoe gelei het dat motoriste wat in beide rigtings beweeg het, be gin glo het dat hulle die reg van weg het. Die situasie is verder vererger deurdat die waarsku wingslyne op die strate met die jare totaal uitgewis is. In die verlede het die Zoutpansberger al herhaalde lik die gevaarlike situasie by die kuising aan die Stadsraad gerapporteer, sonder enige reaksie. Intussen het motoriste se noue ontkomings en onge lukke voortgeduur. Twee weke gelede is die situasie weer aan die Stadsraad gerapporteer met ‘n waarskuwing dat dit slegs ‘n kwessie van tyd is voordat daar weer ‘n ongeluk is, iemand dalk kan seer kry of, nog erger, iemand sterf. Weer is geen reaksie ontvang nie. Die koerant se waarskuwing het egter profeties geblyk te wees, want verlede Dinsdag het daar weer ‘n ongeluk plaasgevind. Dié keer moes ‘n 48-jarige vrou vir mediese behandeling hospitaal toe gejaag word nadat sy beseer is in die ongeluk. Sy het ‘n slegte hou teen die kop weg en sukkel steeds as gevolg van haar sweepslagbeserings. Sy was alleen in haar geleende voertuig. In die ander voertuig was drie persone, maar hulle het blykbaar redelik ongedeerd daarvan afgekom. Weer het die koerant die gevaarlike situasie by die kruising aan die Stadsraad gerapporteer, met foto’s van die ongeluk. Weer het niks gebeur nie.Teen Dinsdag hierdie week het iemand by die Stadsraad egter uiteindelik besluit het om gedagtes oor te sit in dade en twee stoptekens is weer in Bao babstraat aan weerskante van Elandstraat aangebring. Die waarskuwingslyne op die teer pad ontbreek egter nog. ‘n Paar minute van waarneming het gewys dat die stopstrate heel party motoriste bietjie onkant vang, met mense wat steeds dink hulle kan maar net in beide rigtings oorjaag. Bygesê, lesers van die Zoutpansberger sal wel vertroud wees met hoe min mense regtig enigsins ag slaan op stoptekens. Tog maak die stoptekens die kruising darem weer ‘n bietjie veiliger. Die munisipaliteit se traag heid of ruiterlike versuim om beskadigde of verwyderde verkeerstekens, wat ly tot lewensgevaarlike verkeerstoe stande, te vervang het die vraag laat ontstaan in hoe ‘n mate die munisipaliteit aanspreek lik gehou kan word? Dit is nou ten opsigte van skade of verliese wat aan voertuie of deur persone gely word, sou ‘n ongeluk plaasvind by ‘n krui sing of aansluiting waarvan die verkeerstekens nie deur die munisipaliteit vervang is nie. Volgens plaaslike proku reur me. Louise Dekker van die firma Kern, Dekker en Muthevhuli Ingelyf hang alles daarvan af of bewys kan word dat die munisipaliteit nalatig was. “In elke geval moet die volgende gevra word. 1. Het die munisipaliteit ‘n regsplig gehad om iets te doen? As die antwoord ja is, dan vraag 2. Het die munisipaliteit versuim om uitvoering te gee aan die regsplig? As die antwoord ja is, dan vraag 3. Is daar ‘n kousale [oorsaaklike] verband tussen die skade/verliese en die munisipaliteit se versuim? Laasgenoemde antwoord gaan altyd afhang van die spesifieke feite. Byvoorbeeld, as persoon A nie weet dat daar ‘n stopstraat is nie, want die munisipaliteit het versuim om die stopteken weer op te sit, en nou stop A nie en jaag in B vas, dan sou ek reken daar is aanspreeklikheid van die munisipaliteit. Maar as A te dronk was om te weet wat hy doen, dan gaan dit moeiliker wees om kousale verband tus sen die skade en munisipaliteit te bewys,” het Dekker gesê. “Bottom line - die antwoord gaan afhang van die feite van die spesifieke ongeluk,” het Dekker afgesluit.

ontvangs van die navraag bevestig is, is geen kommentaar teen druktyd ontvang nie. Die bestuurder van hierdie voertuig het ‘n erge hou teen die kop weg en het ook sweepslag beserings opgedoen nadat haar voertuig en ‘n ander voertuig in die kruising by Baobab- en Elandstraat in Louis Trichardt verlede Dinsdag gebots het.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het die Groter Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad sy grootste krisis ooit in die gesig gestaar ná ‘n reeks bedankings. Op die voorblad van die Zoutpansberger van 5 September 1997 word berig van die bedanking van Louis Trichardt se stadsekretaris, mnr. Henk Roos. Hy was die tweede senior beampte wat binne die bestek van ‘n maand by die raad bedank het. Die vorige bedanking was dié van die Hoof van Beskermingsdienste, mnr. Koos Kemp. Die situasie is verder bemoeilik deur die feit dat die munisipaliteit se stadsklerk, mnr. Vic Viljoen, in daardie stadium besig was om in die hospitaal aan te sterk na ‘n beroerte aanval. Ter verklaring het Roos aangevoer hy het bedank om sy regstudies voort te sit met die doel om ‘n loopbaan in die regswese te betree. In ander voorbladnuus is berig van Louis Trichardt se eie reeksmoorde naar, Willem Grobler, wat in daardie stadium en ten spyte van verdoe mende getuienis steeds onskuldig gepleit het in die Rondgaande Hof. Hy het ontken dat hy in Julie 1995 die 21 jarige Sonia Liebenberg en in Augustus 1995 die 21 jarige Lollie Breedt vermoor het. Sy verhoor het daardie week begin met die eerste getuies wat in die saak begin getuig het. Familielede en vriende het getuig van die oorledenes se laaste oomblikke wat hulle lewend gesien is. Grobler sou later aan beide moorde skuldig bevind word.

By Andries van Zyl

The Zoutpansberger reported last week that the DEA’s compliance office stopped work after finding that Viato had cleared more than the approved 9ha of bush stipulated in the contract’s EA. This meant that they would have to submit a new application for approval before work could resume. At the same time, a group of fuel-station owners calling themselves the Makhado Fuel Retailers Association (MFRA) indicated that they were going to take legal action against Viato if it continued with its proposed development of a fuel station on the site. This battle between Viato and the MFRA already started in 2019 when Viato first published its intention to build a filling station alongside the McDonald’s restaurant. The MFRA objected to Viato’s application, after which Viato withdrew its application in 2020, only to readvertise it again in 2021. The MFRA claims it was unaware that Viato had readvertised the application and therefore did not object again. The MFRA also argues that, irrespective of the fact that it did not object a second time, the provisions of the by-laws regarding the initial application it had objected to are still binding as they remain a negatively affected party. On Monday, Netshiongolwe explained the events leading up to their having to stop construction work. He said that when the Makhado Municipality (Makhado) had allocated them the site for the 6 000m2 development of a restaurant, together with a service station, the municipality had failed to take into consideration that a power line cuts across the construction site. As national building regulations prohibit anyone from building near or under a power line, Netshiongolwe said, they had engaged in negotiations with Makhado, who then granted them permission to move 16 metres outside the boundary of their stand. The additional bush clearing was also for the establishment of a service road connecting the site to Kia Motors, as well as the establishment of water, sewerage and electrical infrastructure – all for the account of Viato. This “extra” bush clearing was what led to the DEA’s notice to stop work. Netshiongolwe said that when the EA officers visited the site and at the subsequent meeting they had, he explained to them the process they had followed and even furnished the compliance office with a letter from Makhado, indicating why the boundary of their site had been moved. Netshiongolwe said that he could not understand why this information had not been taken into consideration but said he understood that the compliance officer was obviously looking out for the “Immediatelyenvironment.when the compliance officer gave us the notice, we wrote an objection, together with a supporting letter that is coming from council that indicates that no, we are not encroaching on somebody’s land. That is the municipality’s land. The whole 4296 (erf) belongs to the council,” said Netshiongolwe. He added: “We are not cutting corners. Immediately when the compliance officer said stop, we stopped. And we stopped because of one reason. I know that if I don’t do that, there is a fine that can be imposed on me – about R5 million,” added Netshiongolwe.Netshiongolwe was hopeful that they could resume with construction work this week. “I think the people at the department are now trying to resolve our issue because they are saying give us a confirmation from the municipality in terms of the [service] road,” said Netshiongolwe. Regarding the MFRA, Netshiongolwe said they are also not cutting corners. . “I cannot construct a service station without a licence. The service station application is still with the department [Department of Mineral Resources and Energy]. We’ve submitted everything, but we are waiting for the controller to issue a licence. It is the prerogative of the controller to do that and in terms of the Petroleum Act I cannot construct a service station without approval,” saidWithNetshiongolwe.referenceto the MFRA’s claim that Viato’s second round application process was flawed, Netshiongolwe disagreed. “We got permission from the municipality for the service station. That is the zoning right. And it was done probably. First of all, all of the service stations in Makhado they objected to the development of the service station based on the Town Planning Scheme. What we did is withdrew the application,” said NetshiongolweNetshiongolwe.wenton to explain that they then re-advertised their intention for a second time. “We did proper adverts and everything was fine. We complied with everything … Now that we are doing that construction, all the service stations are again objecting ... We furnished them with everything that we complied with … we even advertised in the Government Gazette,” saidAgainNetshiongolwe.Netshiongolwe said that they cannot cut corners.

Ook daardie week is berig van twee bekendes wat in twee afsonderlike motorongelukke gesterf het, die 45 jarige mnr. Gert Dreyer van Levubu en die 23 jarige mnr. “Vleis” Eloff, bestuurder van ‘n meubelwinkel in Thohoyandou. Dan het ‘n Cheetah vegvliegtuig naby Lugmag basis Makhado (toe Louis Trichardt) ook neergestort tydens ‘n Goue Arende oefening, maar gelukkig kon die vlieënier, maj. Keith Fryer (34), oomblikke voor impak suksesvol uitskiet.

“I know development. I am doing development in Rustenburg. I am doing development in so many areas. I know that if I cut corners, I will have problems. It is a very dangerous game,” said Netshiongolwe. He continued: “You know, I have a team of professionals who did the study on the service station ... That study is available. But because I know the laws in South Africa in terms of development, I cannot construct the site, the service station, without a licence. What I did is I just cleared the site to expedite the EIA, because it would be expansive for me to get another tractor to come and clean, I just expedited it. I’ve got full title to that piece of land,” said Netshiongolwe. Despite the EA setback and threatening legal action by the MFRA, Netshiongolwe remains steadfast in his vision that the development will bring value to Louis Trichardt. “We believe that the development that will come is the development for the municipality. It is not my development, it is a development for the community at large,” he said.

“We are not cutting corners on project” says developer

The executive chairman of Viato Oil (Viato), Mr Emmanuel Netshiongolwe, said that his company was not cutting corners regarding the development of a McDonald’s DriveThrough restaurant and proposed fuel station on the corner of Songozwi Street and the N1 in Louis Trichardt. This came after the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) had issued a notice two weeks ago that all construction work on the site must stop immediately as Viato had exceeded the provisions of their approved environmental authorisation (EA).

Tennis Spring Day

Lisa (53) is the mother of two grown daughters and wife of the CEO of a successful Sandton-based Import/Export company. Since his work often takes him away on extended business trips abroad and both her daughters had left the nest, Lisa has taken up hiking and bird watching to ﬁll her days and get out of the empty house. She frequently visits nature reserves and national parks around South Africa.

Our region’s young writers dominate and surprise with their creative genius

Marelize is one of the main characters in the adventure and also the narrator. She is 27 and originally from Namibia. She is a seasoned traveller and has visited countries in Europe and in the USA. She will not only describe the route being followed with its highlights, but also expand on her ten travel companions. It is important to follow closely what she says and build the characters accordingly. Marilize has a good sense of humour and willing to tackle whatever adventure awaits. She’s not that good with bike-riding and prefers walking trials.

❑ Emma ❑ ✔ Meet the adventurers

Lee (28) was born with a neurological disorder that inhibits the full use of her right leg and arm. She has, however, never allowed this inability to become a disability, living her life to the fullest and constantly challenging her body. Although physically strong, every now and then she shows signs of emotional weakness. She is not keen to talk about it, but something or someone has deﬁnitely left a scar.

Adrian is a boisterous character who enjoys controlling the conversation. He is normally the one that likes to walk in the front, sharing his expertise freely with whoever wants to listen. He says he has travelled all over the world, but speciﬁcally likes the cold Russian climate. His most enjoyable travel experience was an epic snowmobile Journey in the Ural Mountains.

Emma is an experienced journalist who is currently working for a local newspaper while dreaming of becoming a war photographer. At 37 she has won numerous awards for writing, as well as photography, but has never mastered the art of keeping direction. She is constantly searching for that new adventure. Will she ever settle down?

Shabnim’s small stature may be deceiving. She is a tough adventurer and even formed part of an expedition to Marion Island. She looks young, but at 42 she has seen a lot in life. She lectures at a local university and is well-respected in her ﬁeld.

We have again received some excellent entries from mainly young writers. Even though the competition is not limited to young writers, there seems to be a lot of interest. Also interesting is that most of the entries are from young people who do not live in town. Some of them go to school in Louis Trichardt but stay in more rural areas. This week’s winner is 17-yearold Ronewa Ramulongo from Ramahantsha village. It was a tough choice between him and Radzambo Matsila, who also entered a story about the character, Adrian. Ronewa’s story received the nod, because of the writing style and the way he tackles a difficult “scar”, namely gender-based violence. Radzambo’s story dealt with poaching. Very well done to bothForwriters.nextweek, we have already received entries for the character of Lisa (3), Gerrit (4), Takalani (3) and Rovha (1). For those who do not yet know how the competition works: Every week, R1 000 has been earmarked for the reader who submits the best story. The competition combines a travel story with unrelated individual adventures. The weekly travel episodes are written by our own staff and these focus on the journey of a group of adventurers who are exploring the Old Salt Trail in the western Soutpansberg. They follow a five-day route, during which they encounter many of the treasures the mountain has to offer. The group of adventurers comprise 11 very diverse fictional travellers. Two “scar stories” are featured for every day of the trip. The group members stop at a specific location for lunch and one of the members tells his or her story. The same happens at night, when the group members gather around the campfire.Thisis also the part where our readers need to contribute. The readers must use their imagination and write a story focusing on one of the characters. The theme of the competition is: “The night of the scars”. The idea is that each story will focus on a “scar” that the characters received somewhere in their lives. These can be physical scars, or they can be emotional scars.Short profiles of the 11 characters are provided. Studying each character and building a story around their characteristics will be Thecrucial.maximum length of an entry is 1 300 words. Once a character’s story is published, that “entry” is closed. If, for instance, you decided to write about Taki’s adventure and another writer’s story about Taki gets published, you need to move on to another character.Readers are welcome to enter stories on all four remaining characters. The entries will stay “live” until the judges have decided who the winner is regarding a specific character.Allthestories as well as the travel adventures are published on our website Noaand(secret)theweek.storiesandedition,notcharacterstorytoFriday.co.za/salt_trail.www.zoutpansberger.Judgingstartsat13:00onaAllentriesreceivedupthatpointwillbejudged.Ifaisenteredaboutaspecificandthatcharacterdoesfeatureinthenextweek’stheentrywillstandoverbecomespartofthe“pool”oftobejudgedthefollowingApartfromtheseguidelines,normalrulesapply.Thejudges’decisionsarefinaltheywillnotmeetanyoneinbarlatertodiscussthematter.staffmemberofthe

Rovha, the soft-spoken dentist, with the smiling eyes. He seems to be a loner, mostly travelling on his own. He has climbed Kilimanjaro and completed the Camino de Santiago. You will mostly ﬁnd him sitting in a quiet sport reading a book or newspaper.

Gerard is a Dutch adventure tourist. He ticks most of the boxes as far as stereotyping is concerned. He is slightly impatient and not discreet at all. He retired from the university where he was teaching a year ago and now at the age of 66 he spends his time travelling the world.

Gerard willingMarelize Shabnim Lee Adrian Gerrit ❑ Taki ❑ Zachary ❑ Lisa ❑

Zachary is often referred to as the local Bear Grylls. When it comes to the outdoors, there is very little he does not know. His insatiable thirst for adventure has taken the 39-year-old geologist on some of the world’s most dangerous wilderness trails. It is said that he once disappeared along the infamous West Coast Trail in British Columbia. When he reappeared 14 days later, he had a nasty scar on his left shoulder and a haunted look in his eyes. Takalani (Taki) (25) For the full-of-life Takalani, nursing has always been her calling. She is a vibrant, energetic young lady who’s infectious laugh can make any bad situation feel a little bit brighter. She is loved by all her collegues and patients. Although she has never done a hiking trail, she enjoys taking long walks in her spare time. Gerrit (55) comes from a military background. As a young boy, his father (also ‘n military man) shaped him into becoming a soldier. Tigers don’t cry and love is but a four-letter word. Rising to the rank of captain, he was one of the last members of the old South African Army to have seen the horrors of the Bush War on the Angolan border. With the new 1994 dispensation, he found himself on civvy street in a world he did not understand and nor did the world understand him. He never found love, although so desperately longing for it. He is constantly running away from something to somewhere, thus ﬁnding himself in the Soutpansberg. Maybe here he can ﬁnd peace.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 9 SEPTEMBER 2022 9

Adrian explained how his father would punish them with a sjambok-like whip, and often beat his mother with his fists until she agreed with whatever he said. His father would say to him “I just wanna make Mommy flexible”, or “your mommy has been a bad girl and I must teach her manners, don’t you agree?” to which Adrian would agree out of fear of what his father might do to him too. A deathly silence hung over the area and not even the African red-eyed bulbuls, chirping away in the bushes a few minutes before, dared make a sound, it seemed. Adrian appeared to be zoning out at this point of his story, until Emma asked quietly, “Were things always like that?” to which Adrian replied bluntly, “No.” “The strangling, the beating, the threatening, screaming and manipulation ended on the day I was supposed to celebrate my sixteenth birthday,” he said. “‘Daddy’, like my mom used to call him, wanted to get me a gun for my birthday, but neither my mom nor I liked the idea.” Adrian exhaled. “My mom knew I wanted a snowboard ever since I saw one on TV when I was only four years old. Watching people snowboarding and snowmobiling was always fascinating to me; it was amazing that a person could slide on frozen water and do all those stunts. So, my mom secretly bought me a cool snowboard and gave it to me after everyone had left. Only…” Adrian stared even more intently into the bushes behind the group. “My sperm donor found out, and all hell broke loose.” He took a deep breath, as if he were about to vomit the words out. “The man beat the sanity out of my mom that night – with the new snowboard, and made me watch.” Adrian described how his father tortured his mother, told her that she made him look weak to the other men at work by the way she dressed. He told Adrian that it was his fault that his mother was soaked in blood and that she should have had an abortion. All this while he continued to beat Adrian’s screaming mother. “For the first time I shouted at my dad to stop. ‘Stop killing Mommy!’ I screamed. He turned to face me and I shouted that I still wanted my mom alive and that it was my mother, not his, and that he should ‘just leave!!’” Pale and shaking from the memory, Adrian paused for a long time before continuing. “My dad just stood there, as if he never realised this before, and suddenly he turned to look at my mom. She lay very still. At first I thought it was because she was afraid to move, but then I realised she was dead.” Tears were streaming down Adrian’s face. Lisa stood up quietly and sat down next to Adrian, putting her arm around him to comfort him. Adrian looked at the faces of the group members, determined to finish his story. “All of my anger poured out, and I tackled my dad to the ground. I took the same snowboard and beat him until I thought he was dead. Then I phoned the police,” he said, giving a great gulp. “When they arrived, they understood what had happened. The sperm donor was not dead. He was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment, and the state took care of my schooling, although I lived with an aunt of mine.” As if suddenly determined to be done with the horrible events, Adrian glossed over the years after high school and the many countries he had visited. “After everything that happened in my childhood, I found myself drawn to snowmobiling and snowboarding, so I visited the Ural Mountains in Russia to experience the stingingly cold snow on my face. It was wonderful,” he said. Because of his mother’s connection with South Africa, he tried to visit the country at least once a year. “I realise that I may appear to be boisterous, but the fact is that I often talk incessantly to fill the empty voids. Silence makes me uncomfortable because of what happened in my past. I suppose we all try to hide our scars one way or another,” he said, now looking decidedly uncomfortable and embarrassed. He gently took away Lisa’s hand and got up to get himself some water, quite clearly not intending to say another word.

Some causes of scars can be locked up, but the pain stays forever

The group had an early-morning start. The temptation to spend some more time at Leshiba’s Luvhondo camp was great, but the hikers knew that the day was going to be a long one. They had to get to Sigurwana Lodge, more than 15 kilometres to the west, but it also meant traversing the beautiful Hamasha Gorge. A quick breakfast, served with strong coffee, was a tonic for any sore body and the hikers were in an exceptionally cheerful mood. The first stretch of the journey was relatively easy and took them across the Leshiba plains. The sight of a herd of giraffe slowly making their way into the deeper bush while the sun rose made the early wake-up call worth the while.Initially the trail followed the existing game tracks, but then it joined the cycling trail. “If only I had my mountain bike,” lamented Zachary. “Now you’re talking,” Lee joined in. The cycling trail takes riders on a circle route through Leshiba, with some breath-taking views. Marelize looked at the two with an annoyed frown. She was not a big fan of mountain biking after having had some nasty falls earlier in her life. The trail took them along some open plains before they left the cycling trail and headed into an area called Bushman’s Medicine Chest. Edwin showed them some of the medicinal plants that were native to the area and used to cure all sorts of ailments. The previous day’s discussion on the rock art was still fresh in the minds of the hikers and Edwin decided to show them a shelter not far from the route that had more paintings. The differences between the San and Khoekhoe paintings were easier to distinguish here than at the previous setting. Some artifacts could also be identified. The visit to the rock shelter was short, as the group members had to make their way down the dense forest towards Hamasha Gorge. They stopped at a viewpoint on the ridge, which provided a great view for looking down into the gorge before heading down through the forest to some rocky slabs and the river at the bottom.Thiswas a very technical part of the trail, with steep, angled rocks, multiple stream crossings, and boulder-hopping in a streambed to navigate. However, the effort was incredibly rewarding, with the most spectacular and dramatic landscape unfolding before the hikers. After passing a rock pool, the trail headed up ‘The Slabs’ – big, red rock slabs that sloped steeply down towards the stream. The hikers needed to traverse multiple slabs, which required walking up the gorge at an angle. At the top of the slabs, the trail headed back into a beautiful riverine forested section and a welcome lunch stop next to the stream. It was while crossing the stream that Taki noticed the blue bead. “Look what I found,” she called out excitedly while having a closer look at the bead. At first, it looked like a blueish stone, but the hole in the middle indicated that this was man-made. Taki could also spot that it was made of “Youglass.are incredibly lucky to have found one, but these beads are actually not so uncommon in the area,” Edwin explained. “Glass beads were highly prized by African communities for use as everyday adornment, ceremonial costumes, or objects of barter. My guess would be that this is a Zhizo bead, but you would have to get it analysed by someone with a lot more knowledge than I have,” he added. The discovery of the bead caused a surge of excitement, and everyone wanted to have a look at the artefact. It was passed on from one to another, mimicking the way such beads made their way all over the world, being passed on from one trader to another in exchange for goods. “Who were the Zhizo?” asked Marelize, rolling the bead between her fingers. “It is estimated that the Zhizo people settled in the Limpopo-Shashe basin around 900 AD. Excavations done at places such as Schroda produced glass beads like the one you have found. The beads are evidence of trade between the local inhabitants and the outside world, most notably via the Indian Ocean,” Edwin explained. While the buzz continued, the group members settled down next to the stream for lunch. Everyone was noticeably scouring the ground carefully in search of more beads. Adrian founds a spot on a rock, a few metres away from the group. His turn to talk about his scar had arrived, and the normally talkative man was not looking forward to it.

Ronewa Gift Ramulongo (17) grew up in a village called Ramahantsha, a few kilometres from Louis Trichardt. He is currently in Grade 12 at Ridgeway College. “I am a mostly quiet and observant person, and I prefer two or less friends at a time. I have always been a fan of fictional novels as they make me feel like my imaginations can come to life and I read fictional books during my free time,” he says. Ronewa hopes to one day write meaningful books and poetry that create a better understanding between people from different backgrounds and show them how similar they are. “Literature has always been my first career, followed by medicine after I am done with school,” he says.

The normally boisterous Adrian seemed somewhat subdued as he started to relate his story. He did not even rise from where he was sitting on a rock, a metre or so away from the others.“My scar? Mm, let’s see … There were lots of scars, some were small scratches while others were more serious injuries. I did rock climbing, scuba diving, worked as a chef in a five-star restaurant called King Diners, climbed Mount Everest, shook hands with the president for my bravery and, of late, I am spending my free time doing duty as a guide on snowmobile expeditions in the Ural Mountains. That’s about it. I’ve already told you about many of my adventures,” he said. Adrian lifted his arms, which showed the signs of many narrow escapes on cliffs and through dense bushes. “I am done. See? Who is next?” “That can’t be your story,” said Takalani, to Adrian’s dismay. “What do you mean?” he asked, feigning a confused look. “We would like to know about the you before your current achievements,” said Takalani. Adrian understood very well but was clearly not keen to talk about his earlier life. He sighed heavily and said, “Fine, then. Where to start … I was raised by my mother, who was a hairdresser and worked from home. She was born in South Africa, but met a Russian man and moved to this foreign country. She was a beautiful lady and one of the kindest people you couldAdrianfind.”talked about his childhood days in Russia and where he attended school in a quiet neighbourhood on the outskirts of Moscow. Emma interrupted him, asking why he had not mentioned his father. “Oh, that…” Adrian almost sounded like he had never considered having had a father. “You must be referring to my sperm donor. The man who lived with us from when I was born until I was 17 years old was not my father,” he said, looking serious for the first time about what he was saying and grabbing everyone’s attention.

Adrian’s story: By Ronewa Gift Ramulongo

“We were technically a family of three: my sperm donor, my mom and myself,” he continued. “On the outside, we appeared like the perfect family, but behind those walls things were different. My father was a soldier, but he was also very, very abusive man when he was at home. He would make us eat dinner on the floor, and my mom sometimes even had to sleep on the floor when he was disgusted with her. Only he was allowed to speak during conversations unless he allowed you to.” Adrian paused for a few seconds, but then continued. “My mom would tell me to just keep quiet, and she suffered in silence.” He looked down for a moment, then balled his fists.

Jolly XI continued their winning form on Sunday, 4 September, by securing a four-wicket win over Limpopo Dairy in the next round of matches in the Louis Trichardt Cricket Clubs’ 20-over league. Limpopo Dairy went in to bat first and, unlike their 224 runs for the loss of only four wickets in their match against the Sunflowers of AFB Makhado the weekend before, Limpopo’s batsmen struggled their way to only 92 runs in 16.1 overs before being bowled out. Only two batsmen managed to reached double digits with the bat, namely 33 runs by Leon Olwage and 17 runs by Juan Phillips.

Khaif Patel took two wickets for the loss of 17 runs in three overs, with Sahil Patel also taking two wickets, but for the loss of 14 runs in four overs.

Their tails were up, claiming their first wicket - that of Khaif Patel - with only one run on the score board. The second wicket fell on 13 runs and the third on 19 runs. But Jolly XI’s batsmen took the bowlers to task and hit the winning runs of 93/6 in only 10 overs, with double-digit batting figures by Amir Bux Saif (12), Muhammed Sagir (36) and Advil Bhayati (12).
