Mayor denies role in Vuwani unrestDuring the course of this week, Makhado Mayor Cllr David Mutavhatsindi vehemently denied allegations that he was responsible for fuelling the violent protests and the burning of schools in the Vuwani area.

For the past few weeks, the Vuwani area has been plagued by violent protests against Vuwani’s being taken away from the Makhado Municipality and being incorporated into a new municipality as decided by the municipal demarcation board. By the end of last week, 24 schools had been torched in the area. On Monday this week, another school was targeted by protesters, who set alight a classroom at Mawela Primary School at Serene Village. Computers, a photocopier and books were damaged in the fi re.

Since the unrest had broken out, several people were arrested and charged with public violence, malicious damage to property and arson. Among those arrested for the violence is a councillor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr Gideon Tshavhuyo. This led to widespread speculation as to who might be behind the violent protest action in the Vuwani area.

Last Wednesday, thousands of pamphlets were distributed in the Louis Trichardt and Vuwani area by an anonymous source. The pamphlets lashed out at the “leaders” responsible for the mayhem at Vuwani. “The people behind this situation are known but feared … These leaders are not leading us to future (sic) but serving their own interests …

These leaders are behind this violence,” the pam-phlet reads. The author(s) of the pamphlet then go on to point fi ngers at prominent people such as the mayor of Makhado and Chief Masia, accusing them of fi nancing the violence. Names of a list of people allegedly responsible for the “torching of schools” are mentioned, as well as the names of more people allegedly supplying money to fuel the violence.

The Vuwani issue has made headlines for the past few weeks and reverberated in Parliament two weeks ago when the Minister of Cooperative Gov-ernance and Traditional Affairs, Des Van Rooyen, told the National Assembly that the decision to amalgamate Vuwani with parts of the Malamulele municipality had been made on the basis of form-ing municipalities that were economically viable‚ sustainable and able to deliver services to citizens. But this “led to unhappiness within the Vuwani community‚ which is largely Venda-speaking,” he said. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) MP, Floyd Shivambu, blamed the protest action on internal African National Congress (ANC) battles. “It’s mostly intra-ANC squabbles because the mayor of Makhado is from Vuwani, so when he is demarcated into the new municipality, Malamulele, he realises that it’s not going to be a possibility of him becoming a mayor again,” he said.

In the strongly worded press release issued by the Makhado Municipality on 19 May, the munic-ipality states that Mayor Mutavhatsindi would like to set the record straight on the insinuations that

he was instigating violence in Vuwani and the surrounding areas “as he feared that he would lose his position as mayor by the establishment of a new municipality in Vhembe.” The municipality states that, as a disciplined cadre of the ANC, Mutavhat-sindi knows that his term of offi ce ends on 3 August 2016. “He has been appointed for a particular term and he cannot defend that, as the ANC can deploy him anywhere at any time,” the press release reads.

Mutavhatsindi is quoted as saying: “I vehemently deny any malicious alle-gations levelled against me that I am responsible for the spate of vio-lence and the burning of schools. Those faceless people purporting to be saints were hell-bent on assassinating my character for their own selfi sh ends. I challenge these cowards to come up in the open and open a case against me with the law enforcement agency.” (Contd o P2) Makhado municipal mayor Cllr David Mutavhatsindi.

(Contd from P1)On enquiry, SAPS Makhado

cluster spokesperson W/O Ked-ibone Mabatha said on Wednes-day that the police were still not aware of any official charges being laid against Mayor Mu-tavhatsindi regarding the allega-tions contained in the pamphlet that he is one of the high-profile people inciting the violence. Mabatha also said that he was not aware of any charges being laid by Mayor Mutavhatsindi against the anonymous people responsible for distributing the

pamphlet.In total, more than 20 people

were arrested in connection with the violent protests in Vuwani. Many of these, including Cllr Tshavhuyo and a teacher, Mr Edzisani Muthathe, appeared in the Malamulele Magistrate’s Court last Wednesday to bring a formal bail application. The case was, however, postponed until Tuesday this week, while they remained in custody. On Tuesday, a total of 18 accused appeared in the Malamulele Court to bring a formal bail

application. Their applications could once again not be finalised as a result of technical problems in court, according to the po-lice’s provincial spokesperson, Col Ronel Otto. Their case was then postponed until Wednes-day. By the time of our going to press, the outcome of their bail application was not yet known. It was also not known how many people arrested for the Vuwani unrest had appeared in the Thohoyandou Court as Otto said that they were still awaiting feedback.

The investigations into the Mara escape case revealed that two members of the police who were escorting the suspect from court in March this year were negligent.

The police’s provincial communications officer, Capt Ndidzulafhi Nelufule, said that the police could not reveal the members’ identities to the public, since an internal disciplinary hearing was ongoing. “The allegations that there is a staff short-

age and shortage of resources such as leg shackles, handcuffs and police vans at the police station are unfounded,” Capt Nelufule said. “Every police officer is equipped with a pair of handcuffs and there’s no such thing as a shortage of handcuffs at Mara police station.”

A 25-year-old suspect, David Rhaetsi, escaped from police custody when he was being escorted back to the cells at Mara Police Station.

The circumstances around the escape of Rhaetsi still remain vague. He has not been rearrested.

Mapungubwe National Park and World Heritage Site was a hive of activity last Friday, as the park celebrated Interna-tional Museum Day as well as Africa month.

The theme of this year’s event was Museums and Cultural Land-scapes.

It also served as a platform to raise public awareness on the role

museums played in the develop-ment of society, said its spokes-woman, Ms Divhani Maremba. She said that Africa Day was also celebrated annually to acknowl-edge the progress that Africans had made, “while reflecting upon the common challenges faced in a global environment.”

The event was marked by Af-rican attire, dances and beautiful melodies performed by the Ma-pungubwe choir. SANparks’ cul-

tural and heritage manager, Mr Chrispen Chauke, also addressed the guests on the importance of the celebrations and said muse-ums helped people to transfer knowledge from one generation to another. “We are the first Af-rican Kingdom in South Africa and this knowledge we need to transfer to our children and we can only do that if the rich history is preserved and conserved in museums,” he said.

Supreme Court rules in favour of rhino horn tradeBy Isabel Venter

The court case to have the seven-year ban on selling rhino horn lifted, has come to an end and it is now legal to trade in rhino horn within South Africa.

Two rhino breeders, Messrs Johan Kru-ger and John Hume, managed to have the ban overturned last November, following a case in the Pretoria High Court (HC). The ban, however, remained in force, pending an appeal by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) to the HC.

Musina-based attorney Mr Hennie Erwee represented Kruger and Hume and predicted that none of the DEA’s appeals would be successful.

Sure enough, last Friday the Supreme Court of Appeal refused the DEA’s leave to appeal against the HC’s decision, thereby allowing rhino horns to be sold legally again for the fi rst time since Feb-ruary 2009.

The decision means that, within South

Africa, the buying and selling of rhino horn is legal, subject to the obtaining of permits. It is, however, still illegal for rhino owners to trade with the horns in-ternationally in terms of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites).

According to Erwee, the DEA’s appli-cation was rejected because it failed to bring new legal arguments to the table. In addition, the fi rst ruling was made by a full bench of judges, about which the HC said that it believed no other court would come to a different conclusion.

During the fi rst court ruling, the HC judges agreed with Hume and Kruger that the moratorium had seemingly fuelled the dramatic increase in rhino poaching since 2009. Erwee pointed out, interest-ingly enough, that according to the latest poaching statistics, the most rhinos were poached in the Kruger National Park.

Several conservation groups, such as the World Wildlife Organisation, feel

that the latest court decision could fan a further round of stockpiling and promote the illegal smuggling of local rhino horn to China and other Eastern countries for traditional oriental medicine.

In the meantime, provided that the DEA does not approach the Constitutional Court, local rhino owners can start apply-ing for legal permits to store and sell their rhino horns.

Owners will, however, still have to wait for CITES to lift the international ban, and that decision will probably be made during September during their next sitting. As for now, Erwee said he suspected that the DEA would drag their feet with the issuing of permits to rhino owners until then.

“But we certainly feel like this is a big victory for us, that two farmers won this massive court battle with the Minister and her department. In the long run, we feel that the sale of rhino horn will have a positive effect on rhino conservation,” said Erwee.

As the dry winter months are upon the region, the news that the Makhado Fire Station is once again functional serves to warm the hearts of residents.

Two months ago, the Zoutpansberger reported on the station after it became known that they had no fi re trucks avail-able to deal with emergencies. Their last available truck (photo) was damaged beyond repair in an accident on Friday, 18 March. While on duty near the Vuwani Fire Training Centre and Fire Station, the driver of the fi re truck allegedly swerved to avoid running over a pedestrian cross-ing the road. The truck left the road and overturned. The only other fi re truck the Makhado station owns has been in the repair shop for well over a year after its gearbox reportedly broke down.

About two weeks ago, the Makhado station’s fl eet was supplemented with a fi re truck from the Malamulele station.

This means that the Makhado Station once again has a fully function fi re truck. The other truck has yet to be repaired. As far as the newspaper was able to determine, the faulty gearbox is in such a state that it should rather be replaced in its entirety than just repaired.

In the meantime, the newspaper tried again to follow up with the Vhembe Dis-trict Municipality (VDM) in the hope of fi nally getting some answers from them. In particular, the newspaper again enquired about a promise the VDM had made last year to provide new emergency vehicles to the Makhado fi re station and others in the region. At our time of our going to press, the VDM spokesperson, Mr Matodzi Ralushai, had yet to respond.

Deur Isabel Venter

Die moordverhoor van die 34-jarige Karel Lotz het skielik tot ‘n einde gekom, nadat die saak van die hofrol geskrap is.

Lotz, wat tans in Polokwane woonagtig is, is van moord aangekla. Dit nadat sy huismaat, mnr. Pedro Cisco le Grange (31), onder raaiselagtige omstandighede oorlede is op die Lotz-familieplaas Platkoppies naby Morebeng (Soekmekaar).

Le Grange se liggaam is op 14 Junie 2010 in ‘n plas bloed, oortrek met talle diep snywonde, aan-getref. Behalwe dat die vertrek waarin hy gevind is vol bloedspatsels was, is daar binne en buite die huis ook bloedspore gevind. Langs Le Grange was die stukke van ‘n gebreekte teekoppie, ‘n stopverf-mes en deel van iets wat vermoedelik ‘n tand was.

Lotz se verhoor het gedurende 2011 begin in die Louis Trichardt Streekshof, nadat dit van die Sek-gosese (Soekmekaar) hof hierheen oorgeplaas is. Die verhoor was al goed op dreef toe die destydse landdros homself van die saak moes onttrek. Dit het tot gevolg gehad dat die saak weer oorgeplaas is na die Sekgosese Hof en van vooraf moes begin.

Tydens Lotz se laaste hofverskyning in die hof, op 11 Mei, het landdros Ratshibvumo Lotz se aansoek om kwytskelding aanvaar. Hierdie aansoek het daarop berus dat die patoloog en forensiese deskundige se getuienis vir die Staat onvoldoende was. Lotz se verweer was dat Le Grange, wat ‘n rehabiliterende dwelmverslaafde was, in ‘n psig-otiese aanval homself noodlottig met ‘n teekoppie beseer het. Lotz se regsverteenwoordiger, mnr. Thomas Grobler, het geargumenteer dat beide die patoloog en ‘n bloedspatseldeskundige vir die Staat toegegee het dat dit moontlik is dat Le Grange verantwoordelik kon wees vir sy eie dood.

Dit was nie aanvanklik die twee deskundiges se mening nie.

Die patoloog wat die nadoodse ondersoek op Le Grange uitgevoer het, dr. Thakadu Arnold Mamashela, het getuig dat Le Grange doodgebloei het. Le Grange, het Mamashela getuig, het verskeie snywonde oor die linkerkant van sy kop en gesig gehad. Party van die wonde was so diep dat Le Grange se skedel ontbloot was.

Mamashela se bevinding was dat die wonde gelei het tot geweldige bloedverlies weens die slagaar in Le Grange se slaap wat in die proses raak gesny is.

Van die snye was tot 5cm lank gewees. Daar was ook verskeie kneusplekke op Le Grange se arms en bene. Mamashela kon nie sê watter wapen, anders as een met ‘n stomp oppervlak, verantwoordelik was daarvoor nie. Hy het verder gesê dat ‘n geb-reekte teekoppie moontlik verantwoordelik kon gewees het vir die snywonde. Dit was die patoloog se opinie dat dit nie waarskynlik was dat Le Grange homself kon beseer met ‘n teekoppie nie, omdat die wonde in verskillende rigtings sny en party mekaar kruis. Dit is juis die feit dat die wonde kruis wat die dokter oortuig het dat Le Grange dit nie aan homself kon doen nie. Volgens die dokter moes dié se armbewegings dan elke keer skeef en uit ‘n ander rigting gekom het om die wondpatrone te kon vorm.

Buiten vir dié getuienis het die Staat ook ‘n blo-edspatseldeskundige, A/O André Masyn, gehad wat getuig het oor die arteriële en wegspat bloedsproei wat geïdentifi seer is as Le Grange se bloed.

Volgens Masyn het die arteriële bloed wat teen die muur van Le Grange se kamer gekry is daarop gedui dat Le Grange in daardie stadium in ‘n lae liggaamsposisie was toe sy slagaar afgesny is en dat sy hart die bloed uitgepomp het. Masyn het ook wegspat bloedspatsels, hoër op van die arteriële sproei, geïdentifi seer wat kenmerkend is van bloed wat van ‘n wapen af vlieg. Dit was Masyn se opinie gewees dat die wegspat bloed daarop dui dat Le Grange se wonde deur iemand anders toegedien is.

Onder kruisondervraging het Masyn toegegee dat hy sy bevindings gemaak het vanaf foto’s wat die polisie geneem het van die toneel en bloed. Die deurslaggewende faktor vir landdros Ratshibvumo, toe hy moes besluit of die saak verder verhoor moes word, was ‘n tweede verslag wat Grobler bekom het van dr. S. H. Rossouw van die Universiteit van Pretoria. Dit was Rossouw se geleerde opinie, nadat sy Le Grange se nadoodse verslag bestudeer het, dat dit vir Le Grange moontlik kon gewees het om homself so te sny en heel moontlik ook met ‘n teekoppie.

Onder kruisondervraging het Grobler vir dr. Mamashela gepols oor Rossouw se bevinding, waarop Mamashela toegegee het dat sy moontlik mag reg wees.

Hierop het Landdros Ratshibvumo beslis om nie verder vir Lotz te verhoor nie, en die klag van moord teen hom is teruggetrek.

Die illustrasie wys die bloedspatselpatrone waarop ‘n deskundige ‘n beslissing gemaak het dat Le Grange se beserings nie deur homself toegedien is nie. Die deskundige het later gelyk gegee dat Le Grange dalk wel sy eie dood kon veroorsaak het.

Staat laat vaar saak in Le Grange-moordverhoor

By Kaizer Nengovhela

When Marcus Nndateni Mulaudzi (43) was arrested by the police on 26 February 2006, he initially thought it was part of a surreal-istic experience. “I thought it was a joke and I didn’t even apply for bail (straight away), because I thought the judge will release me.” More than a decade later he was still waiting in jail, fi ghting to prove his innocence.

On 5 May this year the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein issued an order, setting aside Mulaudzi’s conviction and related sentence on a charge of murder. The three judges, Ther-on, Petse and Willis, reached the unanimous conclusion that Mulaudzi had been wrongfully convicted of murder. The order was delivered last Friday (20th) and after more than 10 years in jail, Mulaudzi was free to continue with his life.

The sad episode in Mulaudzi’s life started in July 2005 when a well-known school prin-cipal and councillor, Mr Shavhani Ramusethe-li (56), was gunned down at this house at Tshavhalovhedzi near the Siloam hospital. Ac-cording to an early police report, Mr Ramusetheli arrived home after work and parked his car in the garage. A few minutes later he was attacked by two men while closing the garage door. They hit him with a sharp object on the head and then shot him. He died instantly.

When the deceased’s mother went out to investigate the cause of the noise in the garage, she was hit in the face and she sus-tained minor injuries. The suspects then fl ed on foot.

Initially the police arrested two suspects, but they were released after being questioned. Following more investi-gations, four suspects were arrested and the case eventually made its way to the Thohoyandou High Court. On 22 August 2006, Mulaudzi, along with Tshimangadzo Leroy Mushweu, Piet Mudzugu and Samuel Ntshaveni Ndwambi, was convicted of murder and robbery. Mulaudzi was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder and 10 years’ imprisonment in respect of the robbery.

Mulaudzi subsequently applied for leave to appeal, but this application was refused by Judge Hetisani. The long process of taking his case directly to the Supreme Court of Appeal then started.

In his judgment, Judge X M Petse found that the High Court had erred by relying too much on the evidence of the fi rst accused, Mushweu. Mushweu implicated Mulaudzi in the murder, but apart from this testimony, very little evidence points to his involvement. The court found that Mushweu was untruthful in his evidence and tried to exculpate himself. “But it (High Court) then proceeded to uncritically accept his (Mush-weu’s) evidence that incriminated the appellant,” Judge Petze said.

Judge Petze also rejected the High Court’s dismissal of Mulaudzi’s evidence. “In my view, there is nothing inherently improbable about the appellant’s version to warrant its rejection as false beyond reasonable doubt,” the judge said.

The Supreme Court of Appeal’s ruling was wonderful news for Mulaudzi, who had been a resident at the Sinthumule/Kutama maximum security prison for the past ten years. For the fi rst time he could speak freely about the ordeal that robbed him of such a big part of his life.

“During our trial, the Thohoyandou High Court discarded the second accused, Piet Mud-zugu’s testimony that I was not involved. An eyewitness, Ramusetheli’s mother, also testifi ed in court that she (only) saw two people, but the court continued sentencing me,” he said.

“I don’t know why Mushweu mentioned my name as one of the suspects, because I don’t even know the deceased, Shavhani Ramusetheli’s home,” he said. According to Mulaudzi, he only met Mushweu twice before the incident at Sha-yandima when he was visiting his girlfriend. “I was just a mere taxi driver doing routine rides be-tween Thohoyandou and Shayandima,” he said.

According to Mulaudzi, the incident ruined his life and his relationship with his wife and family members. “I was 32 years old when it happened and my wife left with my son because of my arrest. My other son stopped attending school,” he said. “I lost everything and now have to start afresh.”

Mulaudzi said life in prison had been very stressful. He said it was especially traumatic when he made eye contact with Mushweu in prison and he often found himself crying

in the cells. “I was afraid that some in-mates would kill me, because no one likes a murderer. I have learnt the hard way that one can die for something you did

not do,” he said.Mulaudzi’s brother believed in his innocence

and helped him to lodge an appeal to the Supreme Court in Bloemfontein. “I couldn’t believe it when I stepped out of jail. My family is happy also. My mother, Joyce Mulaudzi, was ill be-cause of my arrest,” he said.

“When I was in jail, I was trained in motor me-chanics, bricklaying and woodwork. I will decide whether to work as a motor mechanic or other trades,” he said. Mulaudzi mentioned that much has changed in the world since the prison doors slammed shut behind him almost 11 years ago. “During my arrest, there were only three malls in Thohoyandou, namely Mvusuludzo, Mutsindo and Venda Plaza. They built the Phangami Mall while I was in prison. Stadiums were built for the 2010 World Cup while I was locked up in jail,” he added. “The worst part is that I don’t know how to use social network sites. What I know is how to send ‘Please call me’ messages only.”

In spite of everything, Mulaudzi has not lost all hope. “The Lord has been with me since my tribulations started and I am happy that He has delivered me from the jaws of evil. I will never stop praising Him because He has saved me. I never had and will never take part in destroying life, because I know that it is a wonderful gift from God,” he said.

Mulaudzi was represented by Adv MJ Mpshe (SC) in the case and the attorneys were Mvundle-la & Associates from Thohoyandou.

More than a decade behind bars for a murder he did not commit

Marcus Mulaudzi is a free man after spending more than 10 years in jail.

“I was 32 years old when it happened and my wife left with my son because of my arrest.

My other son stopped attending school .. I lost everything ...”

By Isabel Venter

The rural area of Vuwani made both national and international news headlines after violent protest action led to the burning down of 24 schools.

Recently, the non-government organisation Section 27, seeking to influence and use the law to protect human rights, visited some of the affected schools in the area. They described the violence that led to the destruction of the schools as devastating. Section 27 felt that the community’s actions had severely compromised exam preparation, as well as the future of thousands of learners. They felt so strongly about the devastation that they compiled

a full report on it.In some schools, Section 27 found, records of

admissions and pupils’ results have been lost. The effects of this will be felt for years to come. Even if learning resumes swiftly and new buildings are built, the crisis in Vuwani has dealt a destructive blow to an already struggling system.

What makes Section 27’s report interesting to read, is their view of events beyond the immediate crisis of the burnt-down schools. What is impera-tive, however, is to look at the context of the matter. Section 27 feels that media reports placed the crisis in Vuwani in a vacuum, thereby simplifying the problem. “Such reporting does not contribute to addressing the broader systemic issues. Oversim-

plifying the matter fails to force both the citizenry and the government to engage with creative solu-tions to respond not only to the immediate crisis, but the more deeply rooted problems,” the Section 27 report reads.

In this report, decisions about demarcation are not merely about demarcation, but they concern issues loaded with the hopes and disappointments of communities that have often been failed by their municipalities. The Municipal Demarcation Board’s decision to have the Bavenda community in the Vyeboom area in Vuwani included in a new municipality concerns every woman who is still forced to walk kilometres to fetch water. It affects every person standing in a queue while waiting for medicine that is rarely available, and every child learning in a classroom without the necessary educational tools at hand.

The Vhembe district, where Vuwani is located, is home to 1 023 ordinary public schools, accom-modating approximately 410 000 pupils. Vhembe was the highest-performing district in the National Senior Certificate results in the province in 2014 and 2015.

Section 27 represents 31 schools in Vhembe, four of which were affected by the strike. Of those four, two were burnt down and vandalised: Tshinavhe and Vhafamadi. Tshinavhe Secondary School had good sanitation and received new classrooms in 2015, and the school did not have any problems with infrastructure or furniture before the protest action started.

Sadly, however, this is not the only challenge that Vhembe schools face. Section 27 further points out that basic education is far from the quality education that Vhembe students are entitled to. They found that, in the 2016 Limpopo provincial budget for education, a shortage of 41 000 toilets existed, of which more than eight of 10 were pit toilets that needed to be replaced. In addition, this budget noted that a staggering shortage of more than 10 000 classrooms existed across the province.

Two weeks ago, Vuwani was declared a disaster area, which allows for funds to be released to be-gin rebuilding schools and providing alternative,

interim classrooms. However, as Section 27 points out in its report, the main concern is that the money could be diverted from schools with pre-existing urgent infrastructure requirements. The Minister of Basic Education, in her budget speech on 10 May, reported that the estimated damage was R720 million. “In a province where schools are already struggling due to financial restraints, mismanage-ment and lack of service delivery, it is a daunting task to comprehend how resources must be allo-cated to ensure that all those in desperate need are catered for,” it is stated in the report.

What comes after the violent protests in Vuwani?

Cara van der Goot van Laerskool Louis Tri-chardt was die enigste kind wat kon spog met twee diamant toekennings in een kategorie tydens die skool se jaarlikse Soutpansberg Kunstefees verlede week. Cara het die twee toekennings vir haar monoloog ontvang.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het verlede Vrydag ‘n tjek ten bedrae van R10 345 oorhandig aan die Makhado Care Group as donasie, nadat leerlinge geld ingesamel het deur middel van die Triegie Bergfietsbrul. Dié bedrag is genoeg om vir een pasiënt se maandelikse chemo-behandeling te betaal. Van links na regs is me. Renata Joubert (fietsry afrigter), dr. Casper Venter (Makhado Care Group), die skoolhoof, mnr. Louis Cilliers, en mev. Jernay Mcleod (Makhado Care Group). Afwesig tydens die neem van die foto was mnr. Johan van Djikhorst van Limpopo Cycling, wat gehelp het om die Bergfietsbrul te reël.

Tourism

Matswale Construction recently handed over the newly completed tourism centre to Musina Municipality.

This comes after the council resolved that the old office site had to be vacated to make way for businesses as Musina prepares to become a city in the near future. The arrangement was that the developers would carry all the costs related to the relocation of the centre. The new office is situated next to the N1, just after the off-ramp to Bergview.

The manager responsible for town planning at Musina Municipality, Mr Musiwalo Mphephu, says he is happy that the building adheres to all require-ments as per the required legislation. The developer spent R600 000 to construct the art centre, which took three months to complete. The scope of work in the new centre includes a kitchen, ablution fa-cilities, a display area, an office, a boardroom and a reception area. During the construction period, 28 formerly un-employed members of the local community were provided with job opportunities.

When receiving the centre from the con-structors, Cllr Sewani Kaunda said that the office would play a meaningful role in pro-moting tourism in the Musina municipal area. “Tourism plays a very important role in the economic development of any government. We are happy that our tour-

ists will now have a modern infrastructure where they will be able to get information about Musina and the surrounding areas with ease. That is one of the reasons why we had to build a new building that is modern and user friendly to our people.”

Kaunda thanked the constructors for doing high-quality work in a very short space of time. “It is through their commitment and hard work that we have this positive end result. The fact that this building is user friendly for disabled people goes a long way in showing that our government cares about its people. We will surely take good care of and maintain the building at all times.” Represent-ing the constructors, Mr Chris van der Berg stated that it was a pleasure for the company to contribute to the economic development of Musina. “The fact that we created jobs through the construction of the tourism office is a true reflection that we also have the love of this town at heart.”

Border town boasts new tourism info centre

Cllr Sewani Kaunda receives the keys of the newly constructed tourism centre from Mr Chris van der Berg of Matswale Construction.

Representatives from Musina Municipality and Matswale Construction pose in front of the newly constructed tourism centre shortly after the handing-over ceremony.

The Makhado Public Library has been selected to participate in Mzansi On-Line for the year 2016 by the National Library of South Africa. Mzansi On-Line is a programme of the National Library of South Africa. It is part of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s global programme, which has been in existence for the past 20 years. One of the objectives of the Mzansi Libraries On-Line programme is to increase access to information and communication technologies (ICT) by members of the community. It also aims to enhance skills and capacity among the library staff for better service delivery to the community. In the photo are some of the library workers from Makhado.

With winter upon us, the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) anticipates that blood stocks will fall below the de-sired level required for meeting daily demand.

To ensure that a sufficient supply of blood remains avail-able for recipients affected by different medical conditions, the SANBS must collect 3000 units of blood every day. Each unit of blood could save three lives. “In addition to hiding away from the blistering cold, donor numbers usually slump over this period because schools close over the holiday period and that is where many blood drives take place. Colds and flu are other reasons

for donors’ being unable to donate blood,” says SANBS communications manager Va-nessa Raju.

According to the SANBS, high-school learners are a crucial group of donors. Nationally, says the SANBS, teenagers aged 16 to 19 constitute 21% of SANBS’ total active donor base, which is currently over 430 000. They have taken the bold step to join the many men and women who go out of their way to donate blood and lifetimes that can be lived to the fullest. “These young people are truly exemplary South Africans and while they are away from school to enjoy a well-de-served break, we could run into

some shortages, which will put our ability to serve the public under pressure,” says Raju.

SANBS urges all donors to honour their donation schedule and encourage their friends, fam-ily and colleagues to join them and become regular donors if they meet the basic requirements. “Our doors are open to members of the public who either want to start donating or simply have questions about the donation pro-cess, which might seem compli-cated and daunting for those who have never before considered giving blood,” says Raju.

For more information on how to become a blood donor, visit www.sanbs.org.

Warm up your veins and give blood

As part of preserving a clean environment, employees from Musina Municipality and local community members embarked on a clean-up campaign in Ward 5 a fortnight ago.

The campaign started in Nancefield Extension 8, opposite the boys shelter of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The principle of teach them young was highlighted, when young children from the nearby Shanduka Day Care Cen-tre, accompanied by Principal Brenda Ndou, also joined the campaign.

Before the actual campaign started, local ward councillor Ms Nkele Milanzi emphasized the im-portance of keeping the environment clean. “We urge our community members not to litter, but instead use the skip bins provided by the munici-pality to dispose of waste. Unattended waste causes a bad smell, which contaminates oxygen and it also attract flies and rats. Let us keep our environment

clean because it has many benefits for the future generations. Leaving waste unattended has many disadvantages, including driving investors away from our town.” The manager of waste manage-ment, parks and recreation in the Musina Munici-pality, Ms Rendani Kutama, said that the campaign formed part of the municipality’s initiative to keep Musina clean. “We see it as necessary to have these types of campaigns timeously, because some of our community members are living in unclean surroundings. We also want our people to know the importance of waste and how to manage it.”

One of the community members who took part in the campaign, Mt Lufuno Matsa, said that being part of the campaign made him happy because he was contributing to making Musina a better place to stay. “I encourage other community members to participate in future clean-up campaigns as it has many benefits for our society.”

The clean-up campaign in Ward 5 of Musina Municipality was a huge success.

Birdlife Soutpansberg se vol-gende uitstappie vind op Sater-dag, 28 Mei, na die Strydpoort-berge suid van Polokwane by die bekende Makapansgat plaas.

Belangstellendes kry mekaar Saterdag om 06:30 by die plaas se ingang. Die plaas is geleë op die R101 (ou Potgietersrus-pad) net verby die baksteenfabriek.

“Die habitat aan die onder-kant van die berg kan nie meer verskillend wees van die bo-

kant nie. Onder is breëblaar Bosveld, waar daar spesies soos Draaihals, Kwekwevoeltjies, Witpenssuikerbekkies en Band-keelkleinjantjies is. Soos mens op beweeg begin daar hier en daar Suikerbosse verskyn, en mens moet mens se oë oop hou vir Suikervoels, Groenjantjies en Kaapse kliplysters wat op die Suikerbosse sit. In die vallei het daar histories Blouswaels voorgekom, wat nou kritiek be-dreig is. Heel bo-op die berg is

die landskap baie plat, klipagtig en meestal grasveld. Hier is waar ons sal soek vir Nicholsonse koester, Rooivlerkstreepkoppie, Huiltinktinkie, Kleinste klop-kloppie en Bergklipwagter. Die uitsig van daar bo af is iets om te aanskou, en bly vir altyd in ‘n mens se geheue,” sê die klub.

Vir meer inligting en om by-woning te bevestig, stuur ‘n e-pos na Geoff by [email protected] od skakel hom by tel. 083 457 1501.

Voëlkykers besoek Makapansgat

Hoërskool Eric Louw in Musina se Rooikatte-rugbyspan het die unieke geleentheid gehad die afgelope naweek om na die Bulle versus Stormers wedstryd om Loftus te gaan kyk. Hulle is vergesel deur skoolhoof mnr. Johan Minnie en afrigters mnre. Sakkie Vermeulen en Deon Viljoen. Foto verskaf.

Eric Louw High School’s netball girls decided to share some of their skills by paying a visit to Messina Primary School on Monday. Pictured here are some of the Louwtjies with their younger counterparts from Messina Primary. Photo supplied.

Die manne van Tafelronde Zoutpansberg 66 is baie in hul noppies met die ondersteuning wat die publiek die afgelope naweek vir hulle gholfdag ten bate van liefdadigheid gegee het. Alhoewel ‘n fi nale syfer nog nie hierdie week beskikbaar was nie, het voorsitter Dirk Meissenheimer junior bevestig dat die bedrag al meer as R100 000 beloop. Saterdag se gholfdag by die Soutpansberg Gholfklub was ten bate van die plaaslike Tafelaars se Hospitaalfonds. Afgeneem, so ewe in mediese drag, is van die plaaslike Tafelaars en hul gaste. Voor, van links na regs, is Frans Vermaak en Dirk Meissenheimer. Agter hulle staan Rudi Meissenheimer, Inus Steyn, Pierre Joubert, tannie Petro Weyers en haar kleindogter Chaney, Craig Leeson, Denise Thompson (namens Wesbank as borg), Vaughn van Niekerk (afslaer) en Steven van Vuuren.

The region’s budding young cycling stars can start entering for the popular KFC Kids Race as part of the annual Kremetart Cycling weekend.

The cycling weekend is one of the region’s biggest annual sporting events, coming up on 4 and 5 June.

Saturday will see cyclists from across South Af-rica take part in the gruelling but extremely popular 175km stage road race, as well as a 70km race. The weekend will draw to a close on Sunday with the hosting of the Kremetart XCO. High School Louis Trichardt’s Leeupark will play host to Saturday’s programme, while Komatiland plantation plays host to the XCO on Sunday.

The race organisers have not, however, forgotten about the youngsters. The kids race, sponsored by KFC, the Soutpansberg Cycling Club, Ladies Circle 4 and Soutpansberg Youth Cycling Development, will once again form part of the programme on 4 June. Youngsters can participate in six different

age groups, namely a 60m ride for 2- to 3-year-olds and a 100m ride for both the 4- to 5-year-olds and 6- to 7-year-olds (with an entry fee of R50 per cyclist for all three races), as well as a two-, three- and four-lap race for the U/10s, U/12s and U/14s respectively. For the last three races, the entry fee is R100 per cyclist.

Youngsters who want to test their mettle can register to compete on the day of the race from 08:00 until 12:00, as per race. The six races, from youngest to oldest, will start at 11:30, 12:00, 12:30, 14:00, 14:30 and 15:00 respectively.

Medals will be handed out to all race fi nishers, as well as bonus prizes for mini XCO riders. Cash prizes for both boys and girls will be handed out for fi rst- to fi fth-place winners. There is also a R1 000 cash prize up for grabs for the school or pre-school with the most entries. But don’t wait too long to enter as only the fi rst 250 entries will receive goody bags.

Kids will again be part of annual Kremetart action

Met slegs sowat ‘n week oor tot vanjaar se Kremetart Fietswedren vanaf 3 tot 4 Junie, het inwoners nou die kans om ook ‘n stalletjie tydens hierdie gewilde fi etsrynaweek te bespreek.

Volgens Rina Vermeulen, een van die organi-seerders, het hulle reeds al die diensorganisasies en kerke genader om ‘n stalletjie te bespreek. Daar is egter ook nou geleentheid vir individue om nog ‘n stalletjie te bespreek vir die naweek. “Buiten vir die koeldrank wat binne en buite die biertuin verkoop sal word, sal daar vanjaar slegs een kosstalletjie per soort toegelaat word. Herhalings van kossoorte sal nie toegelaat word nie,” het Vermeulen gesê.

Stalletjies wat reeds bevestig is, sluit in biltong, sosaties, worsbroodjies, hamburger en tjips, Flip-pen lekka Chipstix, seep en skoonmaakprodukte, koffi e/tee en warm sjokolade, vetkoek-en-maal-vleis, juwele en lekkergoed en stokworsies. Daar is ook een stalletjie beskikbaar vir pannekoek en koffi e by Schoemansdal die Saterdag.

Koste beloop R500 per stalletjie vir Vrydag en Saterdag by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se Leeupark en R250 vir Sondag se Kremetart XCO (bergfi ets). Vir Sondag is slegs vier staanplekke beskikbaar.

Vir meer inligting of om ‘n stalletjie te bespreek, skakel Rina by tel. 083 297 6925 of stuur ‘n e-pos

aan haar by [email protected]. “Ons doen ‘n beroep op die publiek om die Kremetart in sy volle glorie te kom ondersteun,” het Rina gesê.

Juffrou Janeli Scholtz van Laerskool Louis Trichardt, wat onlangs gekwalifi seer het as ‘n Limpopo netbalskeidsregter, sal die komende skoolvakansie die Suid-Afrikaanse Alle Ouderdomme Toernooi bywoon om haar SA-gradering te kry.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

Die leer van die Here lei tot geloof. Lees Handelinge 13:4-12.

Hoeveel keer hoor ons nie dat mense sê, “God moet my ‘n wonderteken gee, dan sal ek glo” nie? Op verskeie plekke word die verkryging van tekens as voorwaarde vir geloof verkondig. Daarsonder, beweer sommiges, is geloof nie moontlik nie. Dalk dink u ook so. U voel dalk: “As God maar net vir my ‘n teken kan gee om my geloof te versterk, sal ek onvoorwaardelik glo.”

En nou wil dit voorkom asof ons teks van vandag ook hierdie gedagte ondersteun. Paulus en Barnabas verkondig die evangelie regoor die eiland Ciprus, tot hulle by die baie belangstellende goewerneur kom. Toe hulle egter aan hom ook die evangelie wil verkon-dig, word hulle teengestaan deur die towe-naar Barjesus. Deur die kragtige werking van die Heilige Gees bestraf Paulus hom, sodat hy onmiddellik blind word. Die goewerneur sien dat God nie toelaat dat iemand Hom teenstaan nie, en hy het gelowig geword.

Hoe het die goewerneur gelowig geword? Het die wonderteken wat Paulus gedoen het hom beïndruk? Nee. In vers 12 staan daar “die goewerneur was diep onder die indruk van die leer van die Here.” Dit is die leer van die Here, die evangelie van Jesus Christus, wat hom tot geloof gebring het. Alles wat die goewerneur van die Here gehoor het, het hom tot geloof gebring. Die wonderteken wat die Heilige Gees deur Paulus gedoen het, was bloot bevestiging van die Woord van God. Romeine 10:17 sê tog vir ons dat die geloof kom deur die aangehoorde prediking van Christus.

Geen teken of buitengewone betekenis kan dus ‘n plaasvervanger vir die suiwer Woord, die gesonde leer van Christus, wees nie. Die leer van die Here is wat die geloof bring. En nog meer as dit: die leer van die Here ver-sterk ook die geloof. Om hierdie rede behoort ons onsself elke dag in die Woord van die Here te verdiep. Deur dit te doen, word die leer van die Here daagliks meer deel van ons lewens, en kom ons elke dag meer onder die indruk van die absolute genade van God waarin Hy aan ons die geloof wat tot die lewe lei gegee het.

Kathy, Daisy se stadsvriendin, ontwaak genadiglik van haar droom (of nagmerrie) waar Bernard wegraak en Daisy agterkom sy is swanger. Daisy en Bernard daag by haar op met ‘n klein hondjie wat duidelik meer is as net ‘n bondeltjie kwaaddoen. Dit is ook vir Daisy ‘n toets ...

stry teen haar liefde vir gemorskos

BRIEWE / LETTERS

Herfsakker en Laat Lente sê dankie

Write to us at PO Box 1680, Louis Trichardt, 0920 / Skryf aan ons te Posbus 1680, Louis Trichardt,

0920 of [email protected]

“Ek kan nog steeds nie glo dat jy so ontsteld was oor ‘n

dróóm nie, my liewe vriendin! Ek het jou nog nooit so ontsteld gesien nie,” sê-vra Daisy en sluk aan haar pienk melkskommel.

“Ek ook nie, Daisy. Maar partymaal is drome wragtig net so tasbaar. So werklik. Ek was nog nooit so bly om wakker te word en ongenooide gaste voor my deur te kry nie,” spot Kathy – Daisy se beste vriendin van kleintyd af.

Bernard kom met ‘n skinkbord by die tafel aan en begin die rooi boksies uitdeel. Die bondeltjie hond op Daisy se skoot toon skie-lik tekens van lewe en ‘n intense belangstelling in die oorsprong van die kosgeure. Daisy blaas ‘n tjippie koud en voer dit vir die gretige baba.

“Jy onthou wat ons ooreenkoms is, nê Daise? Hierdie hond is net ‘n proefl opie vir ons eie kinders. As jy nie te veel skade aanrig aan die hond nie, kan ons oorweeg om ons eie kinders te kry. Maar ... McDon-alds, Daisy? Seriously?” Bernard

lyk nie baie gelukkig nie.Kathy bars uit van die

lag. “Hoor ek reg? Die rede vir hierdie nuwe hond is dat

dit julle parenting skills gaan toets voordat julle besluit om ‘n baba te hê?”

“Nee, Kath. Nie óns parenting skills nie ... mý parenting skills. Bernard glo nie ek kan na iets lewendigs omsien nie. Hy wil nie eers hê ek moet potplante in die huis sit nie, want ek vergeet om hulle nat te gooi.”

“En jou ding oor McDonalds, Bernard? Hoe pas dit nou in met die hele ‘Goeie Ouer Toets’? Hier sit ons dan nou en eet McDon-alds...” Kathy geniet dit om te sien hoe ongemaklik Bernard rondskuif op die harde bankie.

“Nee man, Ventertjie vertel my nou die dag ‘n ding. Hy sê hy raak anderdag betrokke in die was van sy Fortuner want sy vroutjie het ‘n duur oorbel in die kar laat val en hy moet self kyk of hy dit kan kry. So kom hy toe af op ‘n McDonalds tjip onder die voorste sitplek. Hy sê sy mond begin dadelik water vir die dêm tjip en, voor iemand sien, stof hy die ding bietjie af en

prop hy dit in sy mond en kou. Heerlik. Toe hy die oorbel vir sy vrou teruggee vertel hy haar van sy swakheid met die tjip en hy vra of sy nie dalk vir hulle hamburgers en tjips vir aandete wil maak nie. Wil sy vrou stuipe kry: daai tjippie lê al blykbaar in die kar rond vir so ses maande, want dit is wanneer hulle laas McDonalds geëet het, toe hulle in Pretoria was...

“Maar dis nie die ergste nie,” vertel Bernard verder. “Ventertjie sê die skokkende ding is dat die tjip nog steeds vars geproe het!”

Kathy knipoog vir Daisy en lag uit haar maag uit. “En nou mag julle kinders nie McDonalds eet nie, Bernard?” vra Kathy en vat ‘n groot hap van haar kaasburger.

“Kyk, julle twee van alle mense weet hoe lief ek is vir kosmaak. En vandat ek so slegte onderonsie met jig gehad het, is ek maar half versigtig om nie sommer als te eet nie. Maar die hel weet, daar is darem niks lekkerder as gemorskos nie. Ek sal nóóit op ‘n daaglikse basis op pizzas en hamburgers en diepgebraaide hoender kan oorleef nie, maar so af en toe? ... Yum.

“Ek het altyd gedink ek sal ‘n

vrot spioen wees omdat iemand net moet skimp in die rigting van ‘n slang dan sal ek al die staats-geheime uitlap. Maar wragtig! Die heel grootste marteling is om KFC of vis en tjips te koop in die dorp omdat jy honger is en dan al die pad terug te ry plaas toe met daai heerlike reuk in jou honger neusgate!”

Daisy breek ‘n stukkie van haar Big Mac af en voer die gretige bon-deltjie energie op haar skoot.

“Maar Sunshine hier sal dit seker nie toelaat in die toekoms nie, nê my liefi e? Jy sal daai lekker kos uitsnuffel en als proe laaaank voordat ons op die plaas aankom,” koer Daisy in die naaste wit oortjie. “Dan sal ons maar tussen die twee tonnels moet stop en ons eie piekniek hou, sodat jou kwaai pa niks agterkom nie, nê my ou kleint-jie...” Daisy kyk skalks na Bernard.

“Hierso, ou Barries. Nou is dit jou beurt om die bybie gelukkig te hou terwyl ek wat oor is van my gemorskos eet. Miskien moet jy dalk kyk of sy nie sal belangstel in iets gesonds soos jou slaaiblaar of tamatie nie?”

Drie O/13- en vier O/12-rugbyspelers van Laerskool Messina het op 13 en 14 Mei deelgeneem aan die rugbyproewe in Polokwane. Ná afloop hiervan is Bongani Sebe (regs) gekies vir die Craven week A-span en Ruan Hartzenberg (links) is gekies vir die Vyftiental-span. Die Vyftiental-toernooi sal vanaf 26 tot 29 Junie in Sasolburg beslis word, en die Cravenweek vind plaas vanaf 3 tot 8 Julie in die Paarl. Foto verskaf.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se gholfspan het op Vrydag, 13 Mei, gewys dat hulle nie ‘n tree hoef terug te staan vir die groter skole nie. Dié span het teen Ben Vorster gespeel en 3-1 gewen, en toe ook sommer die A-liga. Foto verskaf.

Inwoners moet daarvan ken-nis neem dat verskeie strate in Louis Trichardt vir sekere periodes gesluit sal wees.

Deelnemers aan die 175 km- en 70 km-padfietswedrenne sal vanjaar vanaf Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se sportvelde (Leeupark) wegspring. Derh-alwe sal gedeeltes van Ruh-, Anderson- en Stubbsstraat (ten opsigte van die 175 km-wedren) vanaf 05:00 tot 07:00 totaal

gesluit wees vir verkeer. Wat die 70 km-wedren betref, sal daar vanaf 08:00 tot 12:00 ge-reguleerde verkeerbeheer wees in Anderson- tot Rissikstraat en vanaf Rissik uit op die Vi-vo-pad. Vanaf 15:00 tot 17:00 sal hierdie gedeelte egter weer totaal gesluit wees vir motoriste, in afwagting op die terugkeer van deelnemers in die 175 km-wedren.

Die bergfietsryers sal Sondag,

5 Junie, kans kry om hul vernuf te wys tydens die Kremetart XCO-wedren. Die wedren be-loof om weer heelwat jong nu welinge te lok aangesien berg fiets ry ‘n groeiende sport-soort is. Die eerste wedrenne sal van af 08:00 vanaf die Han-glip Bosboukantore wegspring. Aangesien die wedrenne in die bosbouplantasie plaasvind, sal verkeer in die dorp nie beïn-vloed word nie.

Hierdie strate is Saterdag gesluit

Streek speel gasheer vir internasionale toernooi

Deur Andries van Zyl

Vir die eerste keer in die geskiedenis sal die Nandonidam vanjaar optree as gasheer van die ses-jaarlikse Streek 5 Internasionale Swart-baars-hengeltoernooi.

Die toernooi, met SABAA (South African Bass Angling Association) as organiseerder, vind plaas vanaf 11 tot 18 Junie, met die Suid-Afrikaanse Protea-span wat te staan sal kom teen die top swartbaarhengelaars van Namibië, Swaziland, Zambië, Zimbabwe en Mosambiek. “Ons wil graag die titel op tuiswater behou, dus is dit belangrik dat ons wen. In die geskiedenis van die toernooi het Suid-Afrika nog net een keer nie gewen nie,” het spanbestuurder van die Protea-span, Martin Ferreira, Maandag aan die Zoutpansberger gesê.

Die eerste twee dae van die toernooi sal oefendae wees, met die kompetisie wat amptelik op 15, 16 en 17 Junie beslis sal word. Elke land sal toege-laat word om ses bote op die water te sit, met ‘n sewende boot wat as reserwe sal dien. In totaal sal daar dus 42 bote daagliks op die water wees, met twee hengelaars per boot. Punte sal bereken word op die swaarste sak vis, met ‘n maksimum van vyf visse per sak per dag tussen die twee hengelaars.

Alhoewel dit ‘n geslote toernooi is, is inwoners welkom om te kom kyk hoe die ses lande se top hengelaars die ding doen. Daagliks sal daar teen eerste veilige lig (omstreeks 06:30) weggespring word, met die inweeg wat telkens om 16:00 sal plaasvind. Die toernooi vind plaas by die ou Fish Eagle-hengeloord, met die prysuitdeling wat Vry-dagaand, 17 Junie, sal plaasvind.

Die Soutpansberg is weer goed verteenwoordig tydens Sater-dag, 21 Mei, se Magoebaskloof Miami Bergfiets-uitdaging.

Dié gewilde jaarlikse uitda-ging het vanjaar meer as 230 bergfietsryers vanoor die hele provinsie gelok wat sake wat uitgespook het in ‘n 70 km-, 40 km- en 15 km-wedren.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt (HS LTT) se sterfietsryer Kom-bo Bere het weer die streek se naam hoog gehou deur algeheel tweede te eindig in die 70 km in ‘n tyd van 02:46:30. Hy was ook die tweede senior man tuis.

Skoolmaat Giart Meyer spog ook met ‘n top-10 posisie in die 70 km en eindig algeheel sewende in ‘n tyd van 03:11:11. Hy was ook die derde senior man in dié ouderdomskategorie. Die 70 km het 28 inskrywing gelok.

‘n Honderd fietsryer kon daar-in slaag om die 40 km te voltooi. Hier was dit HS LTT se Richard Lambert wat in twee weke sy tweede eerste plek ingepalm het. Verlede week het hy die 30 km Turbi Hills Bergfietswedren ge-wen. Saterdag wen hy die 40 km wedren in ‘n tyd van 01:43:04. Hy was ook die eerste sub-junior

man gewees. Sowat een-en-‘n-halwe minuut later voltooi skool-maat Marno van Zyl die 40 km wedren in ‘n tyd van 01:44:31. Hy was ongelukkig genoeg om ‘n algehele derde plek te mis met ‘n breukdeel van ‘n sekonde tydens ‘n naelloop einde. Van Zyl was ook die tweede junior man oor die wenstreep. Douglas Archer van Ridgeway College voltooi die 40 km in algehele sewende plek in ‘n tyd van 01:48:59, met Turner de Swart (HS LTT) agste in 01:51:11. Ander plaaslike ry-ers wat goed gery het, was James Coronaios van Ridgeway Col-

lege (13de in 01:58:46), Christelle Coetzer van HS LTT (18de, algeheel derde vrou en eerste in haar ouderdom in ‘n tyd van 02:09:13), Stan-ley Thompson (31ste in 02:23:34), Joleen de Swart van HS LTT (60ste en eerste in haar ouderdom in 02:44:06), Andra Thompson (71ste en derde in haar ou-derdom 03:01:25) en Jeanette Coetzer (94ste in 03:48:37).

Die wedren wat die mees te inskrywing ge-lok het, was die 15 km pretrit, met 113 ryers wat klaargemaak het. Plaaslike fietsryers wat hieraan deelgeneem het, was Laerskool Louis Trichardt (LS LTT) se fietsryspan se Shaun de Beer (7de in 00:49:23), Rohan Cronje van HS LTT (8ste in 00:49:24), Trevor de Beer van LS LTT (12de 00:53:06), en Chris Coronaios van LS LTT (15de in 00:54:26).

Fietsryers ryg nog podiumplekke in

Nog twee van Hoërskool Eric Louw in Musina se Graad 12-rugbymanne, Walter Masindi (links) en Robbie Guthrie (regs), is ingesluit in die span wat in September na Ierland sal toer. Die skool het die twee spelers geluk gewens met hul toelating tot die toerspan. Foto’s verskaf.

By Isabel Venter

Local cycling star Kombo Bere of Louis Tric-hardt will soon get the chance to compare his skills to those of cyclists at international level.

Last week, this local cyclist received his official invite to represent Zimbabwe in the upcoming World MTB Championships as part of their mountain biking team. The world championships is set to take place at the Nove Mestro na Morave in the Czech Republic from 28 June until 3 July. It was not an easy feat as cyclists can participate by invitation only, after their UCI (world ranking) points have been scrutinized.

“I will represent Africa, not merely Zimbabwe or South Africa,” said the Grade 12 pupil of Louis Trichardt High School. “It is one of the greatest honours to get to represent your province and country at the highest level,” he added.

Not many know this about Kombo, but he was actually born in Zimbabwe. Shortly after his birth, his family came to South Africa and settled in Cape Town. His father is a professor at the University of Venda, and his mother is a stay-at-home mom who looks after his younger brother.

During 2013, the family relocated to Louis Trichardt. It was in this time, at the age of 15, that Kombo’s natural talent for cycling was discovered, and ever since then Kombo has dominated the local cycling scene, clinching various podium places.

Apart from local accolades, Kombo also boasts other victories, such as being second overall during the Three Towers Stage Race in 2014, Limpopo U/18 mountain and road-bike champion (in the same

Kombo on his way to World Champs

year) and the 2015 U/18 Limpopo Champion for XCO mountain-bike and half-marathon racing.

Being selected to par-ticipate in the upcoming world championships as part a national team is certainly a dream come true for Kombo. One of his goals is to be able to participate in the 2020 World Olympic Games.

But how does he pre-pare for all this?

“Hard work, and then some more hard work,” was the simple answer from Kombo.

Apart from balancing a heavily loaded school cur r icu lum, Kombo also follows a special-ly formulated training programme compiled by the South African Sport Institute. This en-tails two days a week in the school’s fitness centre with Felix Malan to strengthen his core.

A big part of his exer-cise programme is par-ticipating in local races. One such a race will be the upcoming Kremetart 175km one-day stage race. “Believe it or not, but the Kremetart will help Kombo’s fitness peak, so that he will be

able to perform his best during the champion-ships,” explained mentor and fellow trainer Stanley Thompson.

Kombo will cycle in the Kremetart as part of the Limpopo Tac-Pulse Team, the first ever local pro-cycling team. After this, he will focus on final-izing last-minute details for his trip to Nove Mestro na Morave, for which he has a part of the funds nec-essary. But help and assistance are always welcome from local businesses and sponsors. Stanley can be contacted at Tel 082 493 3897 for more information on this.
