Alhoewel kanker so te sê oornag ‘n Louis Trichardt-gesin se bestaan ingrypend verander het, sal hulle nie ingee en toelaat dat dit hulle onderkry nie.

Klein Leo Botha was maar net 14 maande oud toe hy met akute limfoblastiese leukemie gediagnoseer is. Sy ouers, Cherise en Jaydee, sal dié dag, 13 April, nooit vergeet nie.

Hulle blou-oog kind was die week tevore siek en het baie naar geword en opgegooi. Ma Cherise, terwyl sy terugdink aan die tyd voor hul gesin se lewe verander het, vertel dat Leo nog nooit vante-vore regtig siek was nie. Aanvanklik het sy gedink Leo sny tande. Hy het egter siek gebly en Cherise is met Leo dokter toe. Hy het antibiotika ontvang vir sy simptome, wat hulle voorgedoen het as ‘n verkoue gekoppel met oorontsteking.

Dit was kort voor die naweek gewees. Leo het egter steeds nie beter geword nie. Inteendeel, hy het sieker geword, was koorsig en het gehuil van die pyn as Cherise aan hom raak.

Cherise het die opvolgende Maandag vir Leo terug gevat dokter toe. Daar het toe al intussen blou kolle en blasies op Leo se beentjies uitgeslaan, wat sy dokter laat vermoed het dat sy wit bloedtelling laag kan wees. Die vermoede is bevestig, en Leo se bloed is toe oornag na Polokwane gestuur om die presiese oorsaak te bepaal.

Die volgende dag is Cherise in die dokter se kan-toor meegedeel dat Leo kanker het en onmiddellik behandeling moet ontvang. “Ek moet eerlik wees, ek het nie onmiddellik geregistreer wat die dokter als gesê het ná kanker nie ... dit was alles onwerklik,” het Cherise gesê.

Sy en Jaydee moes dadelik met Leo deurjaag na Pretoria, waar hy opgeneem is in die Unitas Hospi-taal vir intensiewe chemoterapie. Leo se ouer boetie, Alexander (5), moes noodgedwonge by die huis

agterbly by familie. Akute limfoblastiese leukemie is ‘n baie aggressiewe kanker en kan vinnig versprei as dit nie dadelik behandel word nie. Boonop was Leo se witbloedtelling so laag dat daar nie langer gewag kon word met behandeling nie. “Ons het laat die middag by die hospitaal gekom, en al was

al die dokters en personeel baie vriendelik, het dit steeds onwerklik gevoel,” het Cherise Dinsdag gesê tydens ‘n telefoniese onderhoud met die koerant.

‘n Baie emosionele tyd het vir hulle gesin gevolg. Ouboet Alexander en pa Jaydee kan nie altyd saamgaan as Leo chemo moet kry nie. “Dit is ‘n op

en af ding ... party dae gaan dit goed, ander dae is my engel in soveel pyn. Laasweek was hy baie siek gewees en moes hy suurstofbehandeling ontvang ... hy is nog so klein, hy kan nog nie praat om te sê waar dit seer is nie,” het Cherise gesê.

(Vervolg van p. 1)Leo moet elke kort-kort, vir

ten minste die volgende nege maande, nog behandeling ont-vang. ‘n Beenmurgoorplanting is nog nie nodig nie, en Leo se dokters sal later daaroor besluit. “Ons is gedetermineerd dat Leo se kanker ons nie gaan onderkry nie, en glo en vertrou vas dat hy 100% gesond gaan word,” het Cherise gesê.

Cherise was ook diep ge-raak oor die belangstelling en on der steuning wat hulle gesin ontvang van Louis Trichardt se inwoners. Leo se mediese onkoste en behandeling word grootliks gedek deur ‘n mediese fonds, maar skiet nog te kort as dit kom by die daaglikse lewens-

koste. Dit is juis om hierdie rede dat verskeie individue en besighede in die dorp begin het om geld in te samel om die gesin uit te help. Ladies Circle 4 in Louis Trichardt het verlede week ook tydens die jaarlikse bloedskenkdag van Laerskool Louis Trichardt help bloed ins-amel vir Leo.

Cherise het verduidelik dat daar pal ‘n tekort aan bloed-plaatjies is vir kankerlyertjies net soos Leo. “Ons kom nog klaar, en kan Leo bystaan, maar hier is ander ouers wat dit baie slegter af het as ons en dan moet hulle kindertjies nog dae wag vir plaatjies want daar is net nie bloed nie,” het Cherise gesê. Haar wens is dat mense meer

betrokke sal raak by die stryd teen kanker. “Daar is soveel maniere wat kankerpasiënte gehelp kan word – nie net ons nie – mense kan beenmurg of bloed skenk, geld gee aan hulle plaaslike kankerorganisasie of aan KANSA. Elke bydrae help en daar is gesinne wat dit beslis nodig het,” het Cherise gesê.

Intussen het Ouboet Alexan-der se skooltjie, KleuterKampus, ‘n fondsinsameling gereël vir Leo op Donderdag (16de), waartydens hulle pannekoek en ander lekkernye verkoop het in die Soutpansberg Spar se par-keerterrein. Die skooleienaar, Liezl Botha, kan gekontak word vir meer inligting by tel. 078 423 7778.

Die Hooggeregshof het bevind dat dit nie Alex Smail se bedoeling was om twee jong mans van Buysdorp koelbloedig dood te skiet nie.

Alexander Smail (67) is verlede jaar in die Louis Trichardt Streekshof direkte gevangenisstraf opgelê vir die dubbele moord op twee jong inwo-ners, Cornelius Bruce Joachim (20) en Sergio Buys (21). Buiten vir die twee klagte van moord waarop Smail skuldig bevind is, is hy ook skuldig bevind aan twee klagte van poging tot moord.

Regter E. M. Makgoba het op 6 Mei vanjaar Smail se skuldigbevinding van moord en poging tot moord vervang met ‘n skuldigbevinding van strafbare manslag. Die regter het bevind dat Smail nie bedoel het om vir Buys en Joachim dood te maak nie, maar eerder dat hy geglo het dat sy lewe in redelike gevaar was toe hy die eerste skote af-gevuur het. Regter Makgoba het gesê dat dit eerder nalatig van Smail was toe hy op die twee mans en nog twee van hulle vriende geskiet het.

Smail het in Desember 2009, net voor die skiet-voorval, gedreig om vir Joachim, Buys en hulle vriende, Levit Harris en Dominique Buys, te skiet. Smail het destyds getuig dat hy daarvan oortuig was dat die vier by sy onderneming, Smails Fountain op Buysdorp, by verskeie geleenthede ingebreek het. Sy verweer was dat hy Joachim se groep ge-konfronteer het, maar nie bedoel het om hulle te skiet nie. Hy het die mans weggejaag van sy perseel kort voor die skietvoorval en gedreig dat hy hulle gaan “vrek skiet”.

Die Buysdorp-polisie het getuig dat Joachim en sy vriende by die polisie gekla het oor Smail se dreigemente, en dat hulle aangeraai is om weg te bly van Smail se besigheid. “Dit is gemene saak dat hulle nie geluister het na die goeie raad van die polisie nie, teruggekeer het na Smail se besigheid, waar die skietvoorval daarna plaasgevind het,” het regter Makgoba gesê.

Smail het opgemerk dat Joachim-hulle terug-gekeer het na sy perseel. Hulle was al vier in ‘n voertuig wat op die perseel van Smails Fountain geparkeer was. Smail het na hulle geloop en deur die venster gevra wat hulle daar soek en hulle aang-esê om te ry. Sergio was die naaste aan Smail, in die bestuurdersitplek. Smail het getuig dat hy iets blink in Sergio se hand gesien wat in ‘n dreigen-de wyse oor die stuurwiel gekom het. Smail het geskrik en gedink dit is ‘n wapen of mes waarmee Sergio hom dalk wou seermaak. Smail het toe sy rewolwer (wat hy by hom gehad het) opgelig en blindelings skote afgevuur.

Sergio het dadelik inmekaar gesak, waarop Joachim gegryp het na die “wapen” wat Sergio

laat val het. Smail het getuig dat hy bang was dat dit ‘n wapen was wat Joachim op hom sou gebruik en het toe skote gevuur in sy rigting.

Smail het toe sy aandag gevestig op Dominique en Harris, wat agterin die voertuig gesit het, omdat hy nie geweet het of hulle dalk ook wapens by hulle gehad het nie. Die twee het uit die voertuig gespring en op die vlug geslaan, waarop Smail ‘n waarskuwingskoot oor hulle koppe in die lug afgevuur het. Hierna het Smail homself dadelik oorgegee aan die polisie.

Makgoba het grootliks gesteun op hierdie getui-enis van Smail, dat hy in ‘n angsbevange oomblik blindelings op die mans geskiet het. Buys is in die kop getref en Joachim in die bolyf. Harris en Dominique het ontsnap. Makgoba het verduidelik dat hy Smail se verweer – dat hy opgetree het uit selfverdediging – moes opweeg en bepaal of Smail werklik gevrees het vir sy lewe of maar net gedink het sy lewe was in gevaar (beweerde selfverded-iging). Die regter het tot die slotsom gekom dat Smail, alhoewel hy objektief gesien iemand se lewe geneem het, hy subjektief opgetree het omdat hy in daardie oomblik emosioneel was en geglo het sy lewe was in gevaar. “Gevolglik word Smail daaraan skuldig bevind dat hy die skote nalatiglik afgevuur het en daarom skuldig is aan die misdryf van strafbare manslag,” het Makgoba gesê.

Destyds is Smail skuldig bevind op twee moordklagte met betrekking tot Joachim en Buys, waarvoor hy agt jaar elk gevangenisstraf opgelê is. Smail is ook skuldig bevind op twee klagte van poging tot moord op Dominique en Harris, waar-voor hy gesamentlik vier jaar tronkstraf opgelê is.

Regter Makgoba het egter gesê dat landdros Pat Cloete, wat die straf uitgedeel het, gefouteer het deur te veel te steun op die getuienis van Harris en Dominique. “Hulle getuienis kan nie aanvaar word nie, want nie net weerspreek hulle mekaar se getuienis nie, maar het beide erken dat hulle dronk was [ten tye van die voorval],” het Makgoba gesê. Hy het verder bygevoeg dat Smail se weergawe van die voorval nie deur die Staat bevraagteken is nie en dat die hof dit as ‘n redelik geloofwaardige weergawe moes aanvaar.

Makgoba het derhalwe gesê dat hy Smail eer-der skuldig bevind op twee klagte van strafbare manslag met betrekking tot die dood van Joachim en Sergio en onskuldig op die poging van moord klagte so ver dit Harris en Dominique aangaan. Hy het die twee nuwe klagte gekombineer en Smail ‘n vonnis van agt jaar gevangenisstraf opgelê, wat opgeskort is vir ‘n tydperk van vyf jaar.

Smail het reeds ses maande van sy gevangenis-straf uitgedien voordat hy op parool vrygelaat is, hangende die uitslag van sy appèlsaak.

Laerskool Louis Trichardt het die afgelope na week een van die jongste misdaadslagoffers geword.

Die skool se Toyota Quantum minibus is oor die naweek deur diewe geplunder en gestroop van on-derdele. Aanvanklik het niemand onraad vermoed nie, want die bussie was dan veilig toegesluit in die busloods.

Dit was eers vroeg Maandagoggend dat mnr. Greg Stewart agtergekom het daar’s fout. Hy wou die bussie uittrek, sodat hy leerlinge na Tshipise kon aanry vir ‘n skooluitstappie. Verskeie dele van die bussie se onderdele en nog onderdele van die enjin was weg.

Die boewe het sinkplate aan die agterkant van die stoor oopgeforseer om by die bussie uit te kom. Bakstene is gebruik om die passasiersvenster uit te gooi, waarna die sitplekke uitgehaal is om by die onderstel uit te kom.

Die bakstene is ook gebruik as ‘n domkrag onder die bussie se voorste wiel. Dit is nog nie duidelik of die boewe se tyd min was nie, en of hulle net op soek was na sekere onderdele en daarom nie die enjin in sy geheel gesteel het nie.

Die skool het dadelik die polisie in kennis gestel. Teen druktyd was die omvang van die skade nog nie bekend nie en daar was nog geen aanduiding dat enige persone in verband met die diefstal aangekeer is nie.

Die diefstal was soortgelyk die diefstal by die kantore van die Zoutpansberger einde Maart 2015.

Die koerant se Toyota Quantum afleweringsbus het gewoonlik oor naweke toegesluit gestaan by die koerant se kantore in Joubertstraat. Diewe het egter oor die laaste naweek van Maart daardie jaar oor die heining geklim en onder meer die bussie se hele ratkas en ewenaar uitgesteel, asook ‘n rits kleiner onderdele. Die diefstal is aanvanklik nie opgemerk nie, want die booswigte het ewe die bussie se vier wiele netjies teruggesit, sodat daar nie dadelik onraad gemerk kon word nie.

Die bussie moes teen etlike duisende rande her-stel word, sonder dat enige iemand ooit in verband met die diefstal aangekeer is.

Boewe het oor die naweek ‘n bussie van Laerskool Louis Trichardt gestroop vir onderdele, nadat hulle eers die passasiersruit uitgeslaan het en toe bakstene as ‘n domkrag gebruik het.

Well-known local taxi owner Mr Rabelani Wilson Musandiwa (64) was shot and killed at his home in Louis Trichardt last Thursday evening, 9 June.

Mr Musandiwa’s death is said to be related to taxi violence. The spokesperson for the Makhado Cluster Police, WO Kedibone Mbatha, told the Zoutpansberger that Musandiwa was shot at around 15:30. “He was shot from close range and we found 12 cartridges next to his body.”

Musandiwa was shot shortly after arriving at his home in Waterbessie Street. “It is alleged that Musandiwa had just come from a taxi meeting in Musina, when two unknown gunmen came out of nowhere and shot him,” said Mabatha. He said that it was not known whether the killers had been following him. Musandiwa was shot in his garden and police have since opened a case of murder.

Mabatha appealed to members of the public to assist them in their investigation in supplying information that can lead to an arrest. “Investi-gations continue and no one has been arrested yet,” Mabatha said.

Ms Julia Musandiwa, the widow of the de-ceased, said they suspected that her husband had been shot by somebody known to the family. “We are still shocked and terrified by his assassination. We used to regard him as our pillar of strength. He was always available to solve our problems,” she said.

Ms Musandiwa said that it was difficult to

understand why her husband had been killed. “He was a visionary and the strategic thinker of the family’s transport business.” According to her, she heard the shots, but thought they were fireworks. “When I looked through the window, I saw two men running away,” she added.

Musandiwa is survived by his wife and four children. He will be buried on Friday, 17 June, at Fondwe Tshiendeula at 18:00.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 17 JUNIE 2016 3

Deur Andries van Zyl

Dit kan net as ‘n wonderwerk beskryf word dat niemand in Dinsdagoggend se vragmotor-onge-luk op die N1-deurpad deur Louis Trichardt dood is nie.

Te midde van die druk oggendverkeer by die altyd-besige verkeersirkel op die hoek van Stubbs-straat en die N1, het motoriste ‘n bisarre gesig gesien. Asof vanuit nêrens het ‘n nege-ton vrag-motor teen hoë spoed vanaf Musina se kant deur die sirkel gejaag gekom. Dit opsigself is sekerlik nie vreemd nie, want dit is nie die eerste keer dat ‘n weghol-vragmotor teen die Soutpansberg-bergpas afkom nie. Wat wel hierdie keer vreemd was, was dat die vragmotor in tru-rat gejaag het. Dit was ongeveer om 06:30.

“Toe ek by die sirkel kom, toe kom die vrag-motor deurgejaag – in reverse op hoë spoed!” het ooggetuie Johan Steyn kort ná die ongeluk vertel. “In die sirkel het die vragmotor rakelings twee voertuie gemis … Hy het die een ou - ek dink hy het ‘n Ford-bakkie gery - se neus net-net gemis,” het Johan gesê terwyl hy met sy duim en wysvinger beduie hoe naby dit was.

Johan het dadelik die erns van die situasie besef. Hy het die vragmotor verbygesteek en die verkeer vanuit Polokwane se rigting met flitsende ligte en handgebare gewaarsku van die aankomende gevaar. Onder die aankomende verkeer was twee 30-ton dieseltenkwaens van Springbok Transport. Die bestuurder van die voorste tenkwa kon betyds na die regterbaan uitswaai, maar sy kollega in die agterste tenkwa was minder gelukkig.

“Toe ek sien, toe is hy voor my!” het die be-stuur der van die agterste tenkwa, die 48-jarige Joël Maibi, gesê. Hy het haastig uitgeswaai na die regterbaan, maar besef dat hy nie nog verder regs kon gaan nie, anders sou hy tromp-op in die aankomende verkeer ingery het. Alhoewel hy sy tenkwa se neus buite gevaar kon kry, was sy sleep-wa nog gedeeltelik in die linkerbaan.

Die volgende oomblik het die nege-ton vrag-motor Joël se sleepwa getref. Die slag kon vir kilometers ver gehoor word vanweë die koue winterlug. Twee van Joël se voertuig se agterwiele is aan flarde geruk deur die nege-ton vragmotor. ‘n Deel van sy modderskerm het ook in die slag gebly. Beide die voorste en agterste tenks waarin Joël ‘n vol vrag diesel vervoer het, is twee groot duike

ingeslaan. Gelukkig is die tenks nie oopgeruk nie. “En gelukkig was dit nie petrol nie,” het Johan gesê.

Die bestuurder van die nege-ton vragmotor, die 38-jarige Mohamed Abdi van Somalië, kon hierna nie meer sy vragmotor beheer nie. Die vragmotor het stertkant eerste teen die effens styl padreserwe afgejaag en omgeslaan - bykans regoor Ons Tuiste Ouetehuis.

Mohamed het, behalwe vir ‘n bietjie skok, onge-skonde uit sy vragmotor geklim. Hy was besig om ‘n besending klerasie van Johannesburg na Musina te vervoer.

Op die toneel het talle omstanders Mohamed geloof vir sy behendige bestuursvernuf om vir soveel kilometers sy vragmotor, nogal in tru-rat, onder beheer te hou. Hy het aan die Zoutpansberger gesê dat hy besef het daar is moeilikheid met sy vragmotor toe hy deur die sirkel ry. “Toe ek deur die sirkel ry, het ek gesien hoe die lugdrukmeter, wat my remme beheer, skielik val,” het Mohamed gesê. Hy het toe besluit om die vragmotor op eie stoom teen die eerste steilte berg-op tot stilstand te laat kom. “Die vragmotor het wel gestop, maar kort daarna het dit agteruit begin terugrol,” het

Net ‘n wonderwerk niemand sterf in ongeluk nie

Mohamed gesê. Alle

pogings van Mohamed om die vragmotor te stop was vrugteloos. “Ek het die remme aanhou pomp, maar daar was niks nie!”

Mohamed het gesê daar was baie verkeer op die pad gewees. “Ek het my noodligte aangeskakel. Gelukkig het mense gesien die vragmotor hardloop agteruit en het padgegee,” het Mohamed gesê. Hy was baie dankbaar vir Johan wat vooruit gejaag het en die aankomende verkeer gewaarsku het. “As my remme gefaal het terwyl ek besig was om teen die Soutpansberg-bergpas af te ry, sou ek dood gewees het. Dit was beter dat dit hier gebeur het. Ek het gelukkig niemand doodgemaak nie,” het Mohamed gesê.

Johan was eweneens dankbaar dat, behalwe die skade aan Mohamed en Joël se vragmotors, niemand dood is nie. Skaars 100 meter verder is die N1/Songozwistraat-kruising. Dié kruising wemel altyd met verkeer vanaf Thohoyandou en die N1. Menige omstander was dit eens dat, sou Mohamed se vragmotor nie omgeslaan het waar dit het nie, hy in hierdie kruising sou ingejaag het. Dit sou definitief beserings of selfs lewensverlies tot gevolg gehad het.

Omstanders het die 38-jarige Mohamed Abdi (foto links) van Somalië geloof vir sy behendige bestuursvernuf om vir soveel kilometers sy vragmotor, in tru-rat, onder beheer te hou, voordat dit omgeslaan het.

In Memoriam

Sekerlik een van die land se groot-ste sportmanne wat die Soutpans-berg opgelewer het, die 72-jarige David Langley, is op Dinsdag, 7 Ju nie, na ‘n lang siekbed oorlede.

Nuus van Langley se dood is met huldeblyke vanuit alle oorde, beide uit die akademiese en sportwêreld, begroet. Vandag nog hang daar ‘n aksiefoto van Langley in die Unive r -siteit van Pretoria se Roemsaal met die onderskrif “Met waardering en erkenning vir bydrae tot Tuks atle-tiek.” Die foto is op 6 Junie 2001 aangebring.

Een van die land se sportlegendes wat hulde aan Langley gebring het, was oud-Springbok rugbyspeler Wynand Claassen. Hy het na Lang-ley verwys as “een van Tukkies, Noord-Transvaal en Suid-Afrika se grootste sportseuns” en “een van die mees alsydige sportmanne in Suid-Afrika wat Springbokkleure in atletiek en pro-vinsiale kleure in rugby verwerf het.”

David Stepha-nus Langley is op 27 Julie 1943 in sy ouerwo ning op Alldays ge bore, die derde seun van Felicia en David Stephanus Langley. Hy is vernoem na sy oorgrootvader, David Stephanus Jacobsz.

Langley het sy vroeë en laerskool-jare op Alldays spandeer waar sy pa onderwyser was, asook op hul familieplaas en by die familie se grootouers naby Waterpoort. Sy ouers was baie sportbewus. Albei het baie goed tennis gespeel en het selfs hul eie tennisbaan op die plaas gehad. Sy pa was ook ‘n universiteitsboks-kampioen en baie betrokke by die destydse Verre Noord-Transvaalse Amateur Boksassosiasie waar hy hoofskeidsregter en later president was.

Langley het sy hoërskoolloopbaan aan die Louis Trichardtse Hoërskool, soos dit toe genoem was, voltooi. Dit was juis in sy matriekjaar wat hy as sportman begin uitblink het. Die eer-ste rekords wat hy gebreek het, was

dié van sy broer Peet in verspring en 110 m hekkies.

Langley se sportprestasies het nie na skool geëindig nie. Inteendeel, hy het dramaties daarop verbeter, nie net in atletiek nie, maar ook in rugby.

In 1965 reeds verteenwoordig hy Noord-Transvaal as vleuel in een wedstryd teen Wes-Transvaal. Hieroor het oud Noord-Transvaal rugbyspeler Oupa du Piesanie opge-merk: “As hy nie sy knie…so ernstig beseer het nie, het ek geen twyfel dat hy vir die Springbokke sou gespeel het nie.” Du Piesanie het later ook opgemerk: “In die toerspan van Tuk-kies na Engeland in 1967/68 was hy nie slegs ‘n staatmaker op die veld nie, maar het hy met sy kameraadskap en aangename persoonlikheid baie tot die goeie gees van die span bygedra.”

Langley verwerf sy Springbok-kleure in atletiek in 1969 en word vir die opvolgende twee jaar (1969/70)

a a n g e w y s a s kaptein van die S p r i n g b o k - a t -let iekspan. Hy v e r t e e n w o o r -dig Suid-Afrika tydens die Klass-i e k e S p e l e i n Athene, Grieke-land, en reis na Finland vir die Olimpiese Spele, maar Suid-Afrika

word deelname geweier. Hierna verteenwoordig hy ook die SA-span tydens die Coubertin Spele in Ar-gentinië.

Weens sy prestasies op die sport-veld ontvang Langley in 1971 die Goue Appeltoekenning vir besten-digste veldatleet. Sy atletiekloopbaan het egter op 1 April 1972 gepiek, toe hy ‘n nuwe Suid-Afrikaanse ver-springrekord opgestel deur Neville Price se 26-jaar-oue rekord jaar tot 7.9 m te verbeter. Dit was egter nie ‘n eenmalige gebeurtenis vir Langley nie, want gedurende die 1970’s was Langley vir ses agtereenvolgende jare Suid-Afrikaanse verspringkampioen. In 1974 was hy ‘n dubbele Suid-Afri-kaanse kampioen, toe hy ook die 110 m hekkies-titel ingepalm het.

Langley se grootste erns was egter sy akademie. Hy behaal sy B.Sc.-graad in Landbou Ekonomie in 1965 aan die Universiteit van Pretoria in die

voorgeskrewe tyd en volg dit op met ‘n M.Sc (Agric) graad in 1976 en ‘n MBA in 1982. In 1990 verwerf hy ‘n Ph.D. met sy proefskrif Prysvorming by die bemarking van vars vrugte en vars groente in die RSA.

Na ‘n paar jaar as onderwyser by onder meer die Afrikaanse Hoër Seuns kool in Pretoria, word hy dosent in die Departement Landbou-ekono-mie, Fakulteit Landbouwetenskappe by die Universiteit van Pretoria, en later mede-professor.

By die beëindiging van sy loop-baan in die akademie vestig hy hom op sy plaas Buchan noord van die Soutpansberg met slegs weiding voor hom. Binne die bestek van minder as 10 jaar bou hy ‘n modelplaas op wat top mango’s en wintergroente pro-duseer. Hy spog ook met ‘n pragtige Bonsmara stoetkudde.

Langley was een van die min aka-demici wat daarin kon slaag om die

teorie van die akademie te versny met die praktyk van landbou en veeteelt tot die mate dat hy ekonomies en finansieel daarby kon baat.

Langley se geliefde Kotie, ‘n Louis Trichartse Hoërskool kys, het hom reeds lank vooruitgegaan. Hy word oorleef deur broers Thomas en Peet, dogters Elisabeth, Felicia en Jaco-mien, seun Dave en ses kleinkinders. ‘n Roudiens vir Langley is Saterdag, 11 Junie, op sy broer Thomas se plaas, Ringer, gehou. “In sy tyd hier op die plaas, agter die berg, soos ons sê, was hy ten volle betrokke in sy gemeente as Kerkraadslid, op die boerevereni-ging se bestuur, as voorsitter van die Vetfonteinse Geloftefeeskomitee en in die Bosveld Jagtersvereniging. Da-vid self het nooit hierdie dinge gemeld nie. Slegs in nederige stilte was dit sy eie. Ons dank die Allerhoogste vir sy lewe, wat ons met hom kon deel,” het Peet en Thomas gesê.

In Memoriam

Tannie Christine Malan, ‘n vrou wat oor dekades diep spore in die Louis Trichardt-ge-meenskap getrap het, nie net as sakevrou nie maar ook as weldoener, is op 11 Junie in die ouderdom van 85 jaar oorlede.

Christina Wilhelmina Magdalena Malan (ook bekend as tannie Christine of Stienie), is as ‘n nooi Grobbelaar op 30 Oktober 1930 op Lichtenburg gebore. Sy het in 1971 vanaf Licht-enburg na Waterpoort verhuis en in Desember 1979 vanaf Waterpoort na Louis Trichardt. Kort na haar aankoms in die dorp het sy Christine’s Video begin – een van die bekendste video-winkels in die dorp in die vroeë 80’s. Nadat sy die videobedryf verlaat het, het sy tot in 2005 loseerders ingeneem by haar huis en mense van ‘n heenkome voorsien.

Tannie Christine sal egter meer onthou word vir haar liefde vir kinders en bejaardes. Sy het reeds sowat 30 jaar gelede betrokke geraak by die Suid-Afrikaanse Vrouefederasie se Ge-sinsorg-projek. In daardie stadium was Bets Prinsloo die maatskaplike werker. Die ander lede van haar omgeespan het bestaan uit Alida Jongbloed en Susan Coetzee.

“Haar passie was om met oumense en kinders te werk. Haar hart was oop vir mense wat suk-kel,” onthou haar dogter Trieks. So het tannie Christine siektebesoek gebring en selfs nie eens geskroom om bedlêende mense te help was nie. Haar passie om mense te help het egter geld gekos en, sê Trieks, haar ma het elke moontlike manier gebruik om geld in te samel. Sy het selfs seëls verkoop om te help om kospakkies vir behoeftiges op te maak. Sy het ook ‘n boekklub begin by wie mense boeke kon huur om te lees. Dan het sy ook pannekoek gebak en siekes se hare gewas en gedoen. Sy het ook groot moeite gedoen om behoeftiges van klere te voorsien.

“Sy het ‘n baie groot hart gehad. Sy het nooit kwaad gepraat van enige iemand nie. Haar hand was oop. Sy het nie ‘n suinige haar op haar kop gehad nie,” sê Trieks.

Wyle tannie Christine word Dinsdag, 21 Junie, om 11:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt-gemeente begrawe. Sy word oorleef deur seuns Neels en Niek, dogters Soph, Anita, Christa en Trieks, 19 kleinkinders en 22 agter-kleinkinders.

In Memoriam

Die bekende Ali Malan van Louis Trichardt is verlede Donderdag (9de) in die Tzaneen MediClinic oorlede na ‘n lang stryd met kan-ker. Hy was 66 jaar oud.

Baie sal vir Ali onthou vir die lekker grappies wat hy kon maak. Hy was veral ‘n geliefde gesig by die Gereformeerde Kerk hier in Louis Trichardt.

Ali se kanker is ontdek tydens ‘n heupvervangingsoperasie. Weens sy gesondheid, wat dramaties agteruit gegaan het, het hy bedank by Novon – sy laaste werk – en op vroeë pension gegaan. Ongelukkig het die kanker in April vanjaar verder versprei en moes hy in die hospitaal opgeneem word vir behandeling. Hy was vir die laaste ses-en-‘n-half weke voor sy afsterwe in ‘n koma gewees.

In lewe sal Ali se eggenote Nanette en sy drie kinders hom onthou vir die legendariese man, pa, oupa en sagte hardekop wat hy was. “Hy was iemand wat ons altyd geïnspireer het om meer te wees, altyd tyd gehad het vir ‘n grappie, maar ook kon ernstig wees. Iemand wat ons geleer het van liefde, respek en weer probeer,” het

die familie gesê. “Ons sal sy stoute oë en ondeunde glimlag nooit vergeet nie. Al is dit hoe swaar, berus ons ons in die wete dat hy nou pynvry by sy Hemelse Vader is.”

Ali is op 9 Januarie 1950 in Kro-onstad gebore as Albertus Erasmus Ma lan. Hy het daar grootgeword en later jare gematrikuleer aan die Kroonstadse Landbouskool - ‘n feit waarop hy geweldig trots was en wat net geëwenaar is deur sy liefde vir sy gunsteling rugbyspan, die Cheetahs. Ali het, buiten vir sy liefde vir rugby (hy het in sy jonger dae ook vir die Vrystaat gespeel), ook graag gejag en was veral lief vir visvang.

Ná skool het Ali na Louis Trich-ardt verhuis, waar hy vir ‘n baie kort rukkie geboer het op die plaas Goedgedacht naby Mara, voordat hy en Nanette in 1972 getroud is.

Wyle Ali word oorleef deur Na-nette, sy seun Hannes (met eggenote Jolene en hul kinders Adriaan en Micke), dogter Anel (met eggenoot Marnus en hulle kinders Suné, André en Shene) en dogter Anneke (met eggenoot Stephan en hulle kinders Retief en Carli).

Ali is Maandag vanuit die Gere-formeerde Kerk in Louis Trichardt

begrawe. Nanette en die gesin het hulle

opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor die hele gemeenskap, hulle vriende

en familie vir hul ondersteuning en bemoediging in hulle tyd van rou.

“Dankie vir elke oproep, SMS, besoek en drukkie.”

Horn ban in place again - Molewa ready for round 4

By Isabel Venter

It is once more illegal to sell rhino horns in South Africa.

This follows an application the Department of Environmental Affairs has lodged with the Consti-tutional Court. This latest court action means that the moratorium on domestic trading in rhino horn will stay in place for the time being.

Environmental Affairs Minister Ms Edna Molewa confi rmed last Monday (6th) that she had fi led an application for leave to appeal to the Constitutional Court. The moratorium was fi rst challenged in court by rhino breeder Mr Jo-han Kruger and his Mu-sina-based attorney Mr Hennie Erwee during 2012. During 2015, Mr John Hume, one of the country’s largest rhino breeders, also joined in the cause. Both of them argued that the moratorium had fuelled the dramatic increase in rhino poaching.

This led to the setting aside of the moratorium by the Pretoria High Court (HC) on 26 November last year, with immediate and retrospective effect. The court ruled in favour of Kruger and Hume on the basis that the govern-ment had failed to follow adequate public consul-tation processes before declaring the moratorium back in 2009.

Molewa immediately lodged an application to ask for leave to appeal the verdict. This applica-tion was denied, after which she approached the

Supreme Court of Appeal. This application was also dismissed, in May this year, with cost.

The Constitutional Court is currently the last sliver of hope the minister is clinging to, to get the HC ruling overturned.

In the meantime, Erwee said that was high time the minister admitted defeat and quit her department’s wasteful expenditure of taxpayers’ money on frivolous court cases. When contacted for comment last Friday, Erwee confi rmed that

he had read through the latest application of the minister. Erwee said he was confident that the original judgment would stand, seeing as the minister’s latest ap-plication was an exact copy of all her previous applications for leave to appeal.

Last week, Minister Molewa said that no permits to trade with rhino horn and/or any derivatives or products of horn would be issued by her department until the matter was fi nalized by the Constitutional Court. She further also

reminded the public that the HC’s judgment did not relate to the international trade in rhino horn for commercial purposes, which was still prohibited in terms of the provisions of the Convention on In-ternational Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

All eyes will be on both CITES and Molewa during the 17th conference of the parties, which will be held in Johannesburg from 24 September to 5 October this year.

Die Soutpansberg Fietsryklub, organiseerders van die jaarlikse 175 km- en 70-km Kremetart-fi etswedren, het Dinsdag ‘n stewige bedrag oorhandig aan Hoërskool Louis Trichardt uit waardering vir die gebruik van die skool se fasiliteite tydens die wedren, asook die hulp en ondersteuning van leerlinge, personeel en ouers met die wedren. Die klub het ook die ekstra spreiligte, wat hulle laat installeer het vir die Kremetartwedren, geskenk aan die skool vir hul toekomstige gebruik. Van links na regs is skoolhoof mnr. Louis Cilliers, mev. Elizma Pohl (voorsitter van die ouer matriekraad) en Stanley Thompson (Soutpansberg Fietsryklub).

The air wing coordinator and second in com-mand of Air Force Base (AFB) Makhado, Colonel Pine Pienaar, expressed his deepest gratitude and appreciation to the Rotary Club of Louis Trichardt for what he described as an authentic character displayed by the club in support of needy children at AFB Makhado.

Pienaar was speaking during the handing over of 30 dictionaries by the Louis Trichardt Rotary Club to Braambos School at AFB Makhado on 10 June. He accepted the dictionaries on behalf of the officer commanding of AFB Makhado, Brigadier General André Russell Barends.

Also present to receive the donation was the school director, Mrs Victoria Njomo, as well as the school principal, Mrs Nancy Masehla. They were grateful for the donation. Njomo said that the donation came as a big surprise to them, while Masehla told the delegates that the dictionaries would benefit both the school and its learners. “The dictionaries will remain in the school library

as a tool for both the learners and the educators who want to empower themselves to better their knowledge,” Masehla said.

Speaking on behalf of the Louis Trichardt Ro-tary Club, club secretary Mr Godfrey Went said that the donation formed part of an international Rotary project by Rotary Club 50 of England. The club provides humanitarian assistance in the form of food and water for schools, clothes, books, wheelchairs and much more to needy communi-ties. The Rondebosch Rotary Club of Cape Town teamed up to receive tons of dictionaries to be distributed to various clubs all over the country. During a similar team effort, Rotary Club District 9400 of Bedfordview in Johannesburg donated wheelchairs to AFB Makhado in 2013 in support of people living with disabilities. Went added that, upon receiving the dictionaries, the Louis Trichardt Rotary Club had since also donated dictionaries to other schools in the Thohoyandou, Sinthumule, Kutama, Louis Trichardt, Nzhelele and Elim area. “I am convinced that these dictio-naries will serve their purpose,” Went said.

AFB Makhado chosen to be part of Warrant Officer’s Academy training

Military News

Air Force Base (AFB) Makha-do recently hosted a training session for the Warrant Offi-cers’ Academy from Pretoria as part of their Joint Warrant Officer’s Programme (JWOP).

The Warrant Officers Aca-demy, comprising seven staff members and 22 students, was led by WO Zakhele Sikopela and visited AFB Makhado on 24 May. The officer commanding of AFB Makhado, Brig Gen André Barends, hailed staff members of the JWOP for the contribution they made in ensuring that the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) was effective in

its tasks daily.The aim of the JWOP is to

train selected warrant officers (WOs) to function at both op-erational and military strategic levels within the Department of Defence (DOD). With a vision to be seen as an internationally recognised learning opportunity, the course is open to WOs from all African forces.

The academy visited AFB Makhado to learn more about its role and capabilities within the SANDF. Barends explained how AFB Makhado was strategically positioned to meet the demands of the SANDF in accordance with its constitutional mandate. He then reminded the WOs of

their role within the organization in support of their commander’s intent at any level within the DOD.

During their visit, the students also had the opportunity to learn more about 85 Combat Flying School, as well as 2 Squadron. The role and function of both units were explained to the stu-dents by among others the officer commanding of 85 Combat Fly-ing School, Lt Col Leeson, and the acting officer commanding of 2 Squadron, Lt Col Wilson. Fol-lowing their visit, Sikopela said that they had achieved their ob-jective, namely to enhance their learning curriculum during their operational planning module.

School News

Two pupils from Eric Louw High School in Mu-sina, Rishan Mazid (Grade 12) and Kuru Vansia (Grade 11), recently had the opportunity to attend a career expo sponsored by Venetia Mine.

The expo was held at the Gordon’s Institute of Business Studies and was attended by about 2 000 learners. Rishan and Kuru had the opportunity to choose the subjects they were interested in, e.g. engineering, IT and film study. Three class sessions

were attended, which gave them a glimpse into what university life would be. One of the highlights of the tour was meeting a master mechanical engi-neer, which made them motivated to work harder to pursue the same career.

“It was an absolute change of mindset for these two guys to see a classroom of 2 000 learners with so much determination and vision for the future. The one professor from Venda told them his back-ground history in becoming an engineer. He told them he was called to the USA for his excellence in

chemistry. He also said that it is not where you come from, but what you do to change it that will pave your path to success. Kuru felt these words were very rele-vant for learners com-ing from a small town like Musina,” said the school.

One last fascinating fact that was portrayed during the expo was a video showing that the knowledge of the human mind had doubled in a period of 25 years, and in 2025, knowledge will double in just 12 hours!

“Thank you to Mrs Kaunda who accompa-nied them and Venetia Mine that gave these learners the opportuni-ty,” said the school.Rishan Mazid and Kuru Vansia from Eric Louw High School, who were

Expo helps inspire two brilliant young minds

Musina het Saterdag hul heel eerste Boeremark aangebied. Die dag was so ‘n groot sukses dat drie kosstalletjies reeds vroeg moes oppak, want hulle ware was uitverkoop. “Ons bedank elke persoon wat die dag kom ondersteun het, ook almal wat stalletjies gehad het. Dankie Joey de Kock wat gesorg het vir musiek. Dankie ook aan Martie van die MAC Rugbyklub. Graag wil ons ook ‘n paar mense bedank sonder wie die dag nie moontlik sou wees nie, naamlik NTK, PC Works, Talisman, Nando’s, Attie du Plessis, CY Frozen Foods, Salon Karma, Kwik Spar, Tops, Bakgat Biltong, Autozone, Saifee Stationers, Musina Apteek, Div Theunissen (Supa Quick), Crook’s Corner, Ezi Party & Photography, Spice World Polokwane en Oppie Plaas (Jeani Barlow). Dankie ook aan die Triegies soos Hagar du Preez (Flippen Lekka Spice), Denise (Beeston Plante) en Alicia Thomas (Diereberskermingsverening Louis Trichardt) wat by ons dag aangesluit het; dit is lekker as ons mekaar so ondersteun. Ook ‘n baie groot dankie vir Annelien van die Gazette vir haar hulp met die advertensies. Dit was ‘n bakgat dag! “skryf die organiseerders. Foto’s verskaf.

Advertorial

Nictus Limited has announced the appointment of Gerard Tromp as its new managing director, with effect from 18 April 2016. He follows in the footsteps of Nico Tromp, who stepped down after 37 years of service. Nico, who succeeded the group’s founder, P J de W Tromp, will continue to serve on the board as a non-executive director.

The board unconditionally approved Tromp’s succession in his father’s role, based on the balance of evidence of his experience, and his trustworthy managerial track record within the group.

Tromp said although his appointment might appear counter-intuitive, the benefit of the transfer over successive generations brought a long-term orientation toward sustainability in the group. Awareness of the responsibility of stewardship stretches back to his youth and looks ahead to generations to come. The long-term approach, he notes, also serves the interests of shareholders.

Speaking about his appointment, he said al-though three generations of the family had fostered the group’s growth through a transfer of values, the group’s values system was formalised in corporate philosophy and permeated management decisions on a day-to-day basis. The group, he said, pinned itself on King III governance principles, as well as managerial and operational best practices by appointing skilled, professional managers.

Talking about the future of the group, Tromp said its primary goal was long-term growth for its shareholders. Citing the Nictus 2015 annual report, he said the group showed strong growth, with 2015 assets increasing to R501 million, up by 15% from R433.7 million in 2014. The group stated assets of R334 million in 2013 subsequent to unbundling from its Namibian operations, with the same name, in 2012.

Tromp went on to say that the South African entity was currently reinvesting in the sustainable

development of its footprint in the furniture and short-term insurance segments. “We believe that, in spite of current volatility in the region, there is ample room for growth in the South African market, and that our reinvestment is a valid reflection of this operational priority,” he said.

Tromp added that rapid consumer uptake with-in the group’s footprint confirmed the value of reinvestment in growth. Growth, Tromp said, was underpinned the group’s ethos of service, value and consistent application of current best practice and integrity. “Our consistent growth since unbundling has given us a clear indication that this is indeed the case,” he concluded.

For the next two weeks, we’re visiting a street that was presumably named after another president, MW Pretorius. It may end up being a very controversial article, but hopefully the history won’t offend (too much). The history of the Zoutpansberg is fi lled with stories of bravery, tenacity and triumph when the odds were against the locals, but it also has the sad tales of cruelty, deceit and inhu-mane acts. Especially the early history was fi lled with acts of war and brutality, but then again, it was over 150 years ago and the rules and circumstances were very different from what we are used to today.

As usual we try and focus on the impact that the people whose names appear on the street poles had on the Soutpansberg region, which means the story will devi-ate and fi nd its own path.

President MW Pretorius was no stranger to the people of the Zoutpansberg. He visited the area on at least two occasions and he was very involved in processes to try and diffuse the animosity between the settlers

attacks on the Schoemansdallers, while Albas-ini’s Tsonga warriors engaged in a war against Madzivhandila, another Venda chief.

In July 1865, Pretorius sent a delegation, com-prising MJ Schoeman, CN Smit and GJ Verdoorn, to investigate and possibly put an end to the violence. Prior to their visit, a group of Zoutpans-bergers, under leadership of Commandant SM Venter, reached a provisional peace agreement with Makhado and his “general”, Funyufunyu.

� e ZAR delegation was later criticized for try-ing to meddle in a� airs of which they clearly had little understanding. � e Venda groups did not know or trust the delegation and a series of mis-understandings led to more attacks. When two

of Makhado and Madzhie’s representatives, Fleur and Makoebie, appeared before

the commission, they questioned the commission’s authority

(because Pretorius and Kruger were not present). Both were arrested a� er appearing and placed in Albasini’s custody, which clearly did not promote an atmosphere wherein a peaceful settle-ment could be reached.

When the Schoeman commission le� the Zout-

pansberg at the end of July 1865, they seemed to have

reached the conclusion that the con� ict could only be ended by

sending in a commando to subjugate the rebellious Venda chiefs. � e manner in

which the spoils of the war would be divided (which included the women and children cap-tured) was also discussed. � e commission did blame some white settlers for causing the con� ict but, as far as could be established, did not propose any action against them.

� e reality was, however, that the able men in the rest of the ZAR were not so keen on assisting their kinsmen in the Zoutpansberg to make war. � e commando in Rustenburg, among others, did not have a lot of sympathy with the Schoemans-dallers and reckoned they had caused their own problems by allowing their weapons to end up in the hands of the Venda tribes. � ey were also or-dered by Pretorius to assist the burgers in Utrecht and Wakkerstroom with the wars that had broken out there.

President MW Pretorius had quite a busy period trying to extinguish � res throughout the ZAR. In August 1865, he convinced the executive committee to assist the Free State and declared war on Moshweshwe. Schoeman, who had to lead the commando to the north, was thus le� without men and also without su� cient ammunition. Even the Waterberg “krygers” turned around when their commandant opted to rather go to Pretoria.

� e next two years were marked by some vicious battles in the Zoutpansberg between the white residents, supported by among others the Tsonga warriors under leadership of Njakanjaka, and the VhaVenda. Chiefs such as Neluvhola and Magoro were attacked to weaken Makhado and Madzhie’s power. � ese attacks o� en met with � erce criticism from within the ZAR, because of the manner in which they were perpetrated. � e battle against Magoro was one example of the extent of the brutalities.

A combined force of about 1 000 Tsonga warriors, accompanied by Albasini, joined the � ght against Chief Magoro. � e Zoutpansberg-ers were led by either Asst Cmdt Genl Geyser or Cmdt SM Venter. A� er some � erce � ghting, the battle ended on 13 August 1865. More than 300 of Magoro’s men were killed, while 50 Tsonga warriors were wounded and two killed. A� er the battle, the Venda women were distributed among the Tsonga warriors, while the Boer � ghters each received two children to be “booked in”. Only two members of the ZAR force, Alexander Struben and NT Oelofse, refused to take the children. More about these child slaves later.

� e attacks by the Venda were on occasion brutal and merciless. A certain Hans Fourie was captured en route to Chief Lwamondo’s head-quarters. His head was cut o� and placed on a pole next to the road. It was later reported to the missionary, Stefanus Hofmeyr, that Chief Lwa-mondo used his skin as a “karos” (blanket).

MW Pretorius was the son of the famous Voortrekker leader, Andries Pretorius. He

was born on 17 September 1819 in Graa� -Reinett in the Cape Colony. At the age of 19 he joined his parents when the families embarked on the Great Trek to the north. In 1838, his father headed the expedition to punish the Zulu leader, Dingane, for the murders of the Piet Retief group. MW Pretorius joined him and formed part of the Boer forces at the battle of Blood River.

In 1839, MW Pretorius married Aletta Magda-lena Smit and the couple had one daughter. � ey initially resided in the Pietermaritzburg area, but later moved to Potchefstroom where, a� er the death of his father, he became the new commandant-general of the district.

In 1852, the Zuid-Afrikaan-sche Republic (ZAR) came into existence when the United Kingdom signed the Sand River Convention and thereby recognised the independence of the people living north of the Vaal River. In 1857, MW Pretorius was elected the � rst president of this republic. One of his � rst tasks was to try and unite the various factions in the republic. To try and settle the di� erences about where a capital should be situated, he bought two farms on the banks of the Apies River. � is new town would later become Pretoria, named a� er his father, Andries Pretorius.

Pretorius’s � rst encounter with the people of the Zoutpansberg may have been in 1864. � e record states that he was present when the � rst minister of the Reformed church (Hervormde Kerk), Rev NJ van Warmelo, was welcomed on 30 July 1864. At that stage, President Pretorius probably did not receive a very warm welcome. A lot of the local residents supported Stephanus Schoeman in the battle for the presidency of the ZAR and a few years earlier, in 1857, even refused to accept the new � ag, the Vierkleur.

Schoemansdal, the little town at the foot of the mountains, was an important part of the ZAR. Apart from it being the administrative hub of the republic, it also produced a signi� cant amount of revenue through the trade in, among others, ivory. Joao Albasini, who had several teams of elephant hunters, estimated that between 70 and 80 tons of ivory were annually exported to Natal and the Cape Colony with a value of about £200 000. � is excluded the ivory that made its way to what is now known as Mozambique.

More and more white people settled in the Zoutpansberg and in 1861 the town of Schoe-mansdal boasted 70 houses. When the town was at its busiest, some 100 families stayed there.

Along with the in� ux of people, the incidents of con� ict escalated. � e ZAR insisted that the various Venda chiefs pay “opgaaf” (tax) to the government. In 1855, a committee under lead-ership of Stephanus Schoeman decided that the chiefs should each pay, among others, � ve cattle and � ve elephant tusks per year. A number of government representatives, among them Joao Albasini, Michael de Buys and even a French citizen, JMA Logegary, were appointed to collect these taxes.

� e con� ict between the various Venda clans and the settlers grew in intensity and reached a boiling point when the Venda king, Ramabulana, died in 1864. His death caused a succession battle, with the main contenders being his sons Davhana and Makhado. Davhana immediately claimed the title and was also recognised by Albasini, the Native Commissioner at the time.

Makhado, with the assistance of the chiefs Madzhie and Nyakhuhu, attacked Davhana’s head-quarters and the latter had to � ee. A lot of discontent existed among the Zoutpansberg people, with Albasini blaming people such as Magistrate Vercuiel for assisting Makhado. Al-basini later o� ered protection to Davhana, much to the frustration of the new Venda king.

� e ZAR’s executive committee, under leader-ship of Pretorius, must have had their hands full listening to reports and reading through corre-spondence explaining why the con� ict continued. Makhado and Madzhie responded by launching

The times were a’changin for a controversial president (part 1)

Seeing that this story concerns MW Pretorius, we need to return to his role as president of the ZAR.

On 23 November 1865, the ZAR’s executive committee met and Pretorius and Kruger decided to “vrywillig de taak op zicht te nemen naar Z.P. Berg te gaan, ten einde al dat gene te doen, dat strekken kan zyn tot welzyn van dat District en te onderzoeken of een oorlog al dan niet onver-mydelik is” (to go to the Zoutpansberg to estab-lish whether a war was unavoidable).

� e commission’s executive council started with a series of hearings in Schoemansdal that lasted from 16 December 1865 to 3 January 1866. In one of the � rst decisions made, the captive Fleur (and probably Makoebie as well) was released. � is opened the door for peace negotia-tions with the Venda leaders.

Pretorius and Kruger listened to a number of complaints against ZAR citizens and also consid-ered previous reports about alleged abuses and transgressions of the hunting laws. On 29 Decem-ber 1865, Chief Madzhie sent a message to the commission, indicating that he was in favour of a peace settlement. � is gesture changed the sen-timents and may have prompted the decision of Pretorius and Kruger to re-appoint people such as magistrate Vercuiel and Duvenage, who were known to be on friendly terms with Makhado.

� e ZAR commission, unfortunately, never crossed all the t’s and dotted the i’s. � ey never met with Makhado or Madzhie and did not investigate the grievances against people in local leadership roles. Davhana was still under the “protection” of Albasini and, partly because of this, most Venda leaders re-fused to hand back any weapons to the ZAR.

Following a short period of relative peace, the con� ict � ared up again and the process repeated

for all of its residents. President Pretorius played a � nal card to restore peace by sending Stephanus Schoeman, his son Hendrik, and SJ Meintjes to visit Schoemansdal and see what they could do. � is mission also proved to be unsuccessful and it was clear that war was inevitable.

In May 1867, Commandant-general Paul Kru-ger started making his way with some 400 men to the Zoutpansberg. � e battles that followed are, however, stories for another day. (Perhaps when we discuss Kruger Street). � e end result was that the town of Schoemansdal was evacuated on 15 July 1867. Most of the residents, and even Kruger, le� the town with tears in their eyes. Barely hours a� er their leaving the town, it was burnt to the ground.

MW Pretorius resigned as president in 1871 and was succeeded by the Dutch Reformed church minister, TF Burgers. For the next couple of years he moved out of the public domain and it was only in 1877, when the British annexed the ZAR, that he stepped to the fore again. Along with Piet Joubert and Paul Kruger, he formed part of the triumvirate that ruled from 1880 to 1883.

When Paul Kruger became president of the ZAR in 1884, Pretorius le� politics. He moved back to Potchefstroom where he lived until his death on 18 May 1901.Sources:* Boeyens, J.C.A. Die kon� ik tussen die Venda en die

at Schoemansdal and the Vhavenda. We take a closer look at these visits and the battles between, among others, Chief Madzhie and the Boer forces. The ZAR president was, how-ever, also accused of taking part in the dubious “inboekstelsel”, often described as another form of child slavery. We look at the impact that this practice had on the region and fi nd out whether some 4 000 Venda, Matebele, Betchuana and Swazi children were really sold as slaves.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe1 Samuel 17:31-37

Die teks vertel die verhaal van Dawid wat hom bereid verklaar om teen die

Filistyn, Goliat, te veg.Dit was ‘n bekende gebruik in die antieke

tyd - een “baasvegter” of “held” sou deur sy weermag voorgehou word as ware kryger om teen ‘n ander weermag se held te gaan veg. So is baie bloedvergieting gespaar – maar die volk van die kryger wat verloor, verloor daarmee outomaties die veldslag.

En dan plaas ons ons nou in die skoene van Israel – geen so ‘n baasvegter is in hulle midde nie. Hulle skrik inderdaad so groot dat hulle oorval word met vrees. En in hul vrees raak hulle verlam.

Die hele pad verkleineer Goliat God en sy uitverkore volk.

Maar dan stuur die Here ‘n onverskrokke dienskneg – moenie oor hom moedeloos raak nie. Ja – moet nie toelaat dat hierdie man jou moeg maak nie.

En wanneer Saul hom probeer verhoed, kan Dawid nie anders as om te getuig van die Here se sorg en beskerming nie. Dawid weet - die Here stuur hom op hierdie krygstog, die Here eis dat sy heiligheid nie deur ‘n heiden belaster word nie.

Ja, so bely Dawid dit so mooi: Die Here sal my red uit die mag van hierdie Filistyn (vs. 37). Ja, die Here laat nie toe dat die onreg seëvier nie, selfs al lyk dit soms so.

Geliefde broer en suster, waar jy vandag jou koerant sit en lees, is daar beslis ‘n Goli-at of twee oor jou pad.

Ja, ‘n Goliat wat jou laat voel dat die onreg seëvier en jy geen verweer in die lewe het nie.

Onthou dan wat sê God hier by monde van sy dienskneg Dawid: Moet nie oor hom (hulle) moedeloos word nie.

So dikwels probeer ‘n mens hierdie pro-bleme uit eie krag takel, self tot ‘n punt kom waar jy dit kan oplos.

Maar die Here sê: Hy sal ons red uit die mag van Goliat.

Daisy en Bernard is nog in die stad en die winter het in al sy felheid opgedaag. Dit is veral in die vroeë oggendure dat haar gemoed (en lyf) verlang na die son op Waterpoort.

Hou jou kind naby jou hart

Bernard maak gewoonlik die koffie en beskuit en bring vir

Daisy in die bed.“Dis om op te maak vir al die og-

gende wat ek nié langs jou wakker word nie, my mooiste,” het hy al verduidelik.

Maar daar is nog ‘n goeie rede wat hy nie sommer in Daisy se geselskap wil noem nie. Sy pragtige blonde vrou is nie ‘n oggendmens nie. Meeste van die tyd is Daisy redelik vroeg op, maar hy het gou agtergekom dat vir Daisy om “op” te wees en “wakker” te wees, eenvoudig net nie dieselfde ding is nie! Om alles te kroon is sy geneig tot allerhande ongelukke voor sy wakker is ... Dus het Bernard dit op homself geneem om met kookwater te werk vroegoggend terwyl net ‘n neuspunt van Daisy onder die bed-degoed uitsteek – sy het nie ‘n saak met Die Wakker Wêreld nie.

Vanoggend is anders. Baie anders. En nee, dis nie ‘n helder Daisy wat skielik langs die bed verskyn met ‘n volsonglimlag en ‘n skinkbord nie – Bernard is vasgep-en op die bed. Dit voel vir hom asof Daisy oornag nog vier ledema te gegroei het. Met suiers.

Hy probeer homself eers versig-

tig losdraai uit Daisy arms en bene. Dit vorder nie – sy skuif nader elke keer as hy probeer wegskuif. Hy het ook nie geweet dat sy soveel krag in haar knie-

koppe het nie. Of dat haar vingers so diep onder sy oksels ingegrawe is nie ... Vir ‘n oomblik langer wikkel hy homself onder die vere-kombers uit en voor Daisy haar oë oopmaak of haar stywer teen hom vasplak, val hy uit die bed uit.

Daisy sit kiertsregop in die bed en blaas opstandige haarflertse uit haar mond en gesig.

“En waar gaan jy heen, Ber-nard?” eis sy deurmekaargeslaap. Haar wange is so pienk soos die warm varkies op haar slaapklere.

“Koffie, Daisy. Koffie.”“Kom klim jy dadelik terug

in hierdie bed, Bernard Young! Dadelik!” Sy klink skoon gevaarlik – soveel soos ‘n massamoordenaar in pienk varkiepajamas kan wees.

“Dis JOU skuld dat ons vanog-gend wakker moet word in hierdie koue en ysigheid ... As dit van my afgehang het, was ons al lankal terug op die plaas. Nee, deksels, Bernard. Dis nou ook nie asof jy simpatie gehad het gisteraand toe ek vir Flippie wou uithaal en op die bed installeer nie, nê?” tier Die Varkie voort.

Bernard trippel nog vir ‘n oom-blik kaal langs die bed en gryp dan

na ‘n kamerjas. Sy WINTERkamer-jas. Dan krap hy in sy kas rond en haal skaapvelpantoffels uit.

“Ja oukei, Daise. Dit is blêddie koud vanoggend, ek moet sê. Maar waar is Sunshine? Gewoonlik kry jy haar nie uit haar mandjie uit voor die son reg bokant Sandton City hang nie... Sunshine, Sunshine!” roep Bernard.

Daisy vlieg terug in die bed en trek die verekombers tot oor haar ore. Daar is ‘n gewoel onder die beddegoed en toe loer ‘n laggende babahond vir Bernard. “Hier’s ek! Hier’s ek!” skree haar hele wrieme-lende lyf. “Klim terug onder die kombers,” skree Daisy.

“Dit gaan noodmaatreëls verg vanoggend,” dink Bernard hardop terwyl hy uitwyk. “Niks minder as warm sjokolade én melkkoffie nie. Maar wragtig – miskien moet ons later OBS drink saam met ontbyt...”

Nou kyk – dis nie verniet dat al Daisy se vriendinne swymel oor haar man nie. Dis nie net sy blou oë of rykdom of afkoms nie. Bernard is in alle opsigte ‘n “nice” man. In Waterpoort terme wat almal versta-an: ‘n @!#$%^&*!!! nice man.

In minder as ‘n uur is Bernard terug met ‘n oorlaaide skinkbord – ‘n pot warm sjokolade, ‘n pot melkkoffie, boerbeskuit, Woolies skons met kaas, en ... plaatkoekies. Warm. Vars. Geurig.

Sunshine kry eerste snuf in die

neus. Nog voor Daisy dit regkry om haar bokant en onderkant van mekaar te onderskei onder die ver-ekombers, staan Sunshine al langs Bernard en kyk met bewondering op na hom. Haar stert swaai.

Daisy sukkel om haar hare uit haar gesig te kry terwyl sy hoër teen die kussings opskuif. Die eerste paar slukke uit die beker wat Bernard geduldig vir haar aangee, bly ongedefinieër. Sy steek haar hand uit om ‘n beskuit te vat en wonder hoekom Bernard dit in sy kop kry om botter en kaas bo-op die beskuit te smeer. Haar neus maak haar uiteindelik wakker en haar oë strek oop toe sy die eerste happie proe...

“Skuif op, Daisy. Magtig dis koud! Laat ek terugklim in die bed langs jou. Ek moes vir jou geluister het en my afsprake gekanselleer het toe ons gehoor het van die koue front!” Bernard is die ene koue hande en voete teen Daisy se pienk varkies.

“Dink jy nie ons verdien om ie-wers die somer te gaan opsoek nie? Wat van ons kry ons pêlle byme-kaar en verkas Griekse eilande toe vir die volgende week?” vra hy geïnspireerd.

“Is jy nou heeltemal laf, ou Barries? En uitverloor op hierdie spread wat jy vir ons elke oggend gaan maak solank die koue front hou?”

“The young generation ask me about our history”

Me. Santie Gildenhuys, waarnemende hoof van Hoërskool Warmbad, het die volgende skrywe ingestuur na aanleid-ing van ouers wat volgende jaar moet besluit waar hulle kind(ers) Graad 8

gaan begin:

Alle skole landswyd het deesdae groot uitdagings om die hoof te

bied. Almal beleef die een of ander tyd ‘n krisis. Party se krisisse word net beter verdoesel as ander…

Die vraag is net: Gaan ek as ouer my vertroue behou in my plaaslike skool of verkies ek dat my kind die grootste deel van sy/haar tienerlewe onder wildvreemdes se skool- en koshuisdakke gaan studeer en bly?

Waar gaan ek as ouer my hulp en finansiële steun aanbied? By my plaaslike, plattelandse skool waar onderwysers, ouers en leerlinge oor die jare heen deur trane, tradisies EN transformasie moedig en getrou voortgebeur het, of by ‘n glanspa-pier-leerlingfabriek waar u geld in ‘n put verdwyn saam met dié van ander skenkers wat u nie van adamskant af ken nie?

Om elektronies in kontak met u kind te bly of so nou en dan deur te ry vir ‘n opvoering, kan vir seker nie opmaak vir die voorreg om elke dag jou kind se lewe te deel nie. “Paddaboudjies” in die vreemde is ‘n bitter bleek plaasvervanger vir ‘n warm koppie tuisgemaakte Milo met ‘n warm drukkie daarby.

Glo my, as hierdie opgroeiende tienerseun of –dogter eers finaal uit die huis uit is na sy/haar studiejare – en wie weet waarheen op pad is na hulle eerste betrekking - DAN gaan jy lang trane huil en jouself verwyt vir daardie spesiale weekstye wat nooit gebeur het nie...

Besef u dat u kind u gesins-, fami lie- en u lewenswaardes baie nodiger het as enige iets anders? Hier die waardes is die grootste voorvereiste om eendag in ons di-verse land te oorleef - en te floreer!

Spesialiteitsafrigting in ‘n spesi-fie ke sport kan ook vir seker nie die plek inneem van ‘n pa of ma se gereelde teenwoordigheid langs die veld of baan nie.

Eksotiese vakkeuses is nie die alfa en die omega nie. Van ons land se grootste ekonome, onder-wyskundiges, regsgeleerdes en an-der het op die platteland (of hier in die Bosveld!) grootgeword. Studen-te vanaf die platteland behaal steeds puik matriek- en universi teits uitslae en dien oraloor in prominente rade en op komitees.

Wil u nie eerder ons toegewyde opvoeders steun deur te help met die opvoeding van ELKE kind wat by ons skoolhekke in- en uitstap nie? Die werk is baie en ons getalle is min. Wees u asseblief die oë en ore eerder as om vingers te wys. Kom meld asb. enige voorval persoonlik by ons skole aan, eerder as om op sosiale media keel skoon te maak.

Kom gesels ook asseblief oor die beste vakkeuses vir u kind. Ons sal die nuwe Tegniese vakke/Studie-rig tings aan u verduidelik. Moenie dat onkunde lei tot die verkeerde keuses nie.

Dit is uiters belangrik dat u kind moet leer om met ander kultuur-groe pe saam te werk en leef, anders gaan hy/sy nie eendag vir seker NIE in sy/haar werksomstandighede kan aanpas of toegelaat word om leiding te neem nie.

Skole word noodgedwonge ‘n kleiner weergawe van ons land se samestelling. Ons kan nie weghard-loop van die realiteit nie. Die kuns is om nog steeds jou identiteit te behou terwyl jy vir ander ook ‘n plek in die son gun.

Inskrywings vir Graad 8 leerders sluit vanjaar reeds op 21 Junie 2016. Doen asseblief wat reg is vir u kind, nie wat gerieflik is nie.

Hou u kind nie net IN u hart nie, maar ook TEENAAN u hart.

MF Manavhela, Manavhela village, Kutama, writes:

Greetings, and may peace flow upon your institution.

I am writing after I had read your Zoutpansberger newspaper of 29 January 2016 and more specifically the article “The Boer general who did not like to fight. Part 2.”

I am someone who likes to know more about the history of past generations.

I am requesting you to feed me with more information on the history of chiefs and others living in this area.

I often get approached by young people asking me for more informa-tion about the past and I tell them what I know. I am an old man, born on 12 September 1940. I grew up here in Venda and attended school here. I am also a member of the Royal Council of the Manavhela clan.

There is a book called The Chair of the Ramabulana and another, The History of the Western Soutpans-berg. If you know of any library having it or bookshop selling it, please inform me. I would like to have these books.

I have some collective history and information I would like to pass on to new generations.

Dear Mr ManavhelaThank you very much for your

letter. In our regular series of arti-cles focussing on the street names, we try to highlight the history of the region and we try and incorporate the Venda history as well. I will try and send you the articles that have thus far been published.

The books that you have men-tioned are valuable resources, but there are also numerous others. I do not know whether these are avail-able in the Louis Trichardt library, but I would expect them to be.

In the last two or three decades, some really good books have been published dealing with the history of the Zoutpansberg. You should also try and get hold of works of well-known Venda authors such as MH Nemudzivhadi. Try these:

* Braun, L.F. “Colonial Survey and Native Landscapes in Rural South Africa, 1850-1913”. Brill, 2015.

* Nemudzivhadi, M.H. “The Attempts by Makhado to Revive the Venda Kingdom 1864-1895”, Potchefstroom University for CHE, 1998.

Die land se voornemende jong nasionale rugby- en netbalspelertjies het die naweek van 27 en 28 Mei hul slag kom wys tydens Laerskool Messina se derde Bulletjie rugby- en Pienkvoetnetbaldag by Forever Resort Tshipise.

Hierdie baie gewilde rugby- en netbalnaweek vir die jongspan het uitgebrei tot ‘n “moet-deelneem” geleentheid en het vanjaar weer talle laerskole vanoor die hele provinsie gelok.

Die hoof van Laerskool Messina, mnr. Dave Diener, het sy opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor die leerlinge, personeel, ouers en vriende van die skool wat hul naweek opgeoffer het om te kom help braai, pannekoek te bak en te verkoop en die maak van hamburgers en boereworsrolle.

Daar was ook heelwat borge en ander persone wat die naweek moontlik gemaak het. Hulle het ingesluit Manie en Engela Gerner, Wikus en Larissa Jansen, Tommie en Rosella Mijs, Kobie Oosthuizen, Henry Smith, Cobus McCabe, Mias Cronjé, Howard Knott, Nico en Lientjie Whelan, Peet Bezuidenhout, Lindy Jansen, Flip Botha, Tshipise Forever Resort, Messina Superspar (EW Brits), Gates of Africa (Carlo Snyman), Tersia Nel, Eddie en Lindie Libert, Trudie Argyropoulou, Messina Gholfklub, Fanus en Cecile van Staden, Carlie Vacqulin, Supa Bake, Hannes Nel (braaier), Michiel Roos, Coca-Cola Fortune en die ouers en gemeenskap. “Graag wil ek hierdie mense bedank wat gehelp het om van die naweek ‘n reusesukses te maak,” het Diener gesê.

Die leerlinge van die skool het ook ‘n groot bydrae gelewer tot die naweek. Elke leerling het vier kaartjies ontvang waarvan hy of sy drie moes verkoop en die vierde kon hulle hul eie naam opskryf. Die wenners van die loting was Alwyn Burger en Alice Nyanhi. Alwyn wen vir homself ‘n naweek by Tshipise, terwyl Alice ‘n koedoe wen.

As deel van Laerskool Messina se derde Bul-letjie rugby- en Pienkvoetnetbaldag, moes die leerlinge kaartjies verkoop, waarvan hulle een in hul eie naam kon inskryf. Afgeneem is die wenners van die loting. Voor is Stanford Nyanhi (wat die koedoe namens Alice Nyanhi opgeëis het) en Alwyn Burger, wat ‘n naweek by Tshipise wen. Agter is me.

The championship was held at Ben Vorster High School in Tzaneen. “I am very proud of my girls. It was a historical moment for the school,” said the coach, Mrs Patricia Dube.

Levubu Hokkie se vrouespan het op Sondag, 12 Junie, die span van die Universiteit van Limpopo met een doel teenoor nul geklop, danksy ‘n pragdoel deur Minette Louw. Dié wen het aan die vroue ‘n plek in die semifinaal van die hokkieliga verseker wat eerskomende Sondag, 19 Junie, in Polokwane beslis word. Hulle sal dan teen die span van Tzaneen te staan kom, met Tzaneen wat hul vorige kragmeting net-net 1-0 gewen het. Levubu se vroue is egter positief dat hulle die bordjies gaan verhang en het inwoners aangemoedig om hulle Sondag by Pieterburg Hoërskool te kom ondersteun. Intussen het hulle die borge van hulle nuwe wedtrydhempies, naamlik mnr. Masana van Masana Training, en mnr. Truter van Tru Tombstones & Granite Tops, bedank. “Dit word opreg waardeer,” het die vroue gesê. Foto verskaf.


Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se O/16-rugbyspan het rede om breëbors te pronk, nadat hulle die naweek deurgedring het na die Limpopo Finaal van die Beeld Trofee. Dié span het Saterdag te staan gekom teen Hoërskool Piet Potgieter in die semifi naal en hulle 23-22 geklop. Foto: Hoërskool Louis Trichardt.

Local off-road motorcycle enthusiasts are in for a treat this coming Saturday, 18 June.

Not only will the Aloe Rock MX club outside Louis Trichardt host the third round of the 2016 Northern Regions Motocross Championship, sanctioned by Motorsport South Africa, they will also play host to the 2016 Southern African MX Challenge, sanctioned by FIM Africa.

The weekend promises to draw close to 120 rid-

ers, including riders from Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana who will compete against South Africa in the Southern African Challenge.

As from 08:00 already, the riders will be out on the track doing their practice rounds. The races will offi cially start from 09:00. There will be eight classes for two-wheel motorcycles from 50cc up to 450cc.

The Aloe Rock MX Club has put a lot of effort into making the weekends’ races possible and would really appreciate the communities’ support

as spectators. Off-road motorcycling is a high-oc-tane adrenaline sport with riders to keep the crowd thrilled with some extreme riding and spectacular jumps.

“Come early to reserve your seat under the trees next to the track for an awesome day of racing by some of South Africa’s top riders, as well as top riders from neighbouring countries,” invites the club. Own chairs, however, must be provided.

Entry to the event will cost R30. Ocean Basket, as well as other food stalls, will be on site to feed the

hungry, while later on in the day, visitors can enjoy a spitbraai. Tickets for the braai will cost R120 per adult and R60 for children under 12.

“Please books your meal ticket as soon as pos-sible,” said the club.

Please note that no own alcohol will be allowed on the premises. For the thirsty, a cash bar will be available. As for entertainment, this will be provided by well-known DJ Jonty.

For more information about the day’s activities, phone Bianca at Tel. 084 297 7274.

A weekend of extreme racing at Aloe Rock MX

One of Louis Trichardt’s top cyclists is now also a top cyclist in Zimbabwe. Kombo Bere was crowned the Zimbabwean mountain-bike champion, following an overall win during the past weekend’s Zimbabwe National Championships. Kombo completed six laps in 01:18. This race also helped prepare Kombo for when he will compete in the World Mountain Bike XCO Championships from 28 June to 3 July. He is still in need of funds (the trip totals about R40 000). Anybody who wishes to contribute can contact Stanley Thompson from Soutpansberg Youth Cycling Development (SYCD) at Tel 082 493 3897. Photo supplied.
