APOLOGIEDie onlangse diefstal van Telkomkabels in Agathastraat en kort daarna in Peacestraat het ook die Bulletin se Tel-komdiens vir langer as ‘n week ontwrig. Dit het probleme veroorsaak by ons slaafrekenaar en/of Internet-diensver-ska� er, waardeur e-posse nie by ons afgelewer is nie. Ons weet nie hoeveel en van wie en presies waar die fout in-gesluip het nie, maar ons kry toenemend navrae oor nuus, foto’s en veral ook kennisgewings vir ons “Events”-kolom wat na ons versend is maar ons nie bereik het nie. Alhoe-wel die probleem nie weens ons toedoen was nie en ook nie deur ons beheer kon word nie, vra ons nogtans om verskoning en kan inligting gerus steeds aan ons gestuur word (as dit nog toepaslik is). Vandag se ekstra dun koe-rant is ook weens ons werksaamhede die afgelope tyd om ons totale kommunikasieopset weer behoorlik op dreef te kry, op die vooraand van opwindende nuus oor ons nuwe interaktiewe webwerf wat eersdaags in gebruik sal kom (ons is reeds besig met toetslopies en dit gaan goed hier-mee). Dankie vir u, ons getroue lesers en adverteerders, se geduld oor die afgelope weke. — Redakteur

The multi-million rand hotel built in honour of late Rain Queen Mokope Modjadji V — her own Nkandla, so to speak — is in a state of collapse before it could even start to be operated as a tourist att raction for the area.

The Queen Modjadji V Hotel, as it is known, is situated at Lebyeng Mountain, about one kilometer from the Modjadji Royal Palace at Khetlhakoni outside Modjadjiskloof. It is also only a stone’s throw from the protected and internationally acclaimed Modjadji Nature Reserve where the only Modjadji Cycad trees in the world are to be viewed.

The hotel was built at a cost of R13 million at the turn of the millennium. Part of the amount was donated by the late President Nelson Mandela aft er his courtesy visit to the late queen in 1998. Construction was fi nally completed about ten years ago, but the hotel still has to be offi cially opened. Sadly, however, it will need quite a bit of money to restore the neglected facilities that have

become dilapidated.The facility includes twenty chalets, a mini

conference centre, parking bays, a swimming pool, a braai area etcetera. Sadly all these facilities have almost disappeared behind long grass, shrubs and trees. Security guards and locals say big snakes (possibly pythons and mambas) and a large troop of monkeys roam the place. The thatched roofs, especially the conference centre’s is gett ing worn out and dilapidated.

A security guard who chose not to identify himself for fear of retribution, said “our lives are being threatened by big snakes which frequently move around long grass within the premises”.

“The area is not safe, because it is very dark during the night. Eskom have switched off the electricity because of an unpaid electricity bill amounting to many thousands of rand”, he told us. He added that there is no water as the borehole on the premises does not function

(there is no electricity to drive the pump). Drinking water and water to wash with has to be fetched from nearby Kheopeng village.

Modjadji Royal Spokesperson Phetole Mampeule said they have approached the new Minister of Tourism on matt ers concerning the hotel and they are waiting for a response. “There were still some minor issues which needed to be att ended to. These matt ers, mainly about the premises, worried the chiefs under Modjadji’s jurisdiction,” Mampeule said.

Approached for comment, the spokesperson for Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA), Mr Ntlhekeng Kgatla, said the facility is not under control of the Agency and it would be very hard for them to comment on anything.

In the meantime the dilapidation causes any future expenditure to turn the hotel into a decent tourist facility, to grow by the month.

Hotel “Nkandla”Rain Queen’s R13 million abandoned hotel

Conference Centre: Long grass and shrubs offer an ideal habitat for reptiles. The thatched roofs are deteriorating because it is not maintained and the monkeys also cause extensive damage

to the roofs.

Chalets: Some of the chalets can be seen, only just, among the trees and bushes that are not pruned and thus spoil the magnifi cent view to

and from the hotel.

Electricity: Continued non-payment of electricity forced Eskom to switch off the electricity supply.

2Vlieg help onselfsugtig met sokkername

2 11 July 2014 Bulletin www.bulletin.us.com Search “Bulletin” Search “Laeveldbulletin”

Vlieg stuur groetnis uit Brasilië! Vlieg sal die eerste wees om te er-ken dat hy, voor sy besoek, gedink het hy kom na Soweto-by-the-sea. Wat ‘n ontnugtering. Hier is mis-kien ‘n paar Portugese plakkers-kampe wat Diepsloot na Sandton laat lyk, maar Vlieg oorweeg tans emigrasie baie ernstig. Hy moet net eers sy Portugees opskerp.

Vlieg was darem betyds in die R10-stad om te sien hoe die Nazi’s die La Coq’s ver-slaan, tot sy teleurstelling natuurlik. En die volgende dag in Salvador gesien hoe ‘n Kaas-Krul ingespan word om Costa Rica huis toe te stuur. Hierdie nuuspapiertjie sak so ‘n bietjie vroeër as wat Daisy se uier destyds op Vlieg se oupa se plaas gesak het, dus sal Vlieg maar volgende week verder berig oor sy belewenisse by die res van die futebol.

Hoewel hierdie nuuspapiertjie homself verontskuldig teenoor Vlieg se doen en late (sien kennisgewing onderaan die paneel), neem Vlieg self volle verantwoordelikheid vir sy uitsprake, al mag dit dalk vandeesweek wees onder die invloed van caipirinha*.

Vlieg het darem nog net een keer, waarvan hy weet, hierdie nuuspapiertjie in die moei-likheid gehad by die Persombudsman. Dit was destyds toe iemand beswaard was om-dat Vlieg, met een van die Indiese Premier-liga-kriekett oernooie, van die Indiërname en vanne na Afrikaans vertaal het. Soos dit hoort, en sonder verbasing, het die Ombuds-man in Vlieg se guns bevind — daarom dat Vlieg nie skroom om vandeesweek ‘n paar van die sokkerspelers, hier in Brasilië in aksie, se name te vertaal nie. Natuurlik omdat sok-

ker nou nie regtig iets is wat in elke Afrikaanse huis verstaan word nie. Die name is soos dit in die ampte-like toernooiprogram verskyn:Lavezzi – onderhempBasanta – Kersvader met ‘n graad in die geesteswetenskappeOar – om ‘n doel te roei

Vlieg het ‘n ronnebal van ‘n tyd en is op pad na die pragtige horison, Belo Horizonto, dan Sao Paolo, dan terug na die R10-stad vir die eindstryd. Hy berig dan verder!

Ate proxima semana!Adeus! * ciapirinha: soet Brasiliaanse drankie, gemaak

van gefermenteerde suikerriet.• Ons wil nie Vlieg se donder steel nie, maar as hy so waagmoedig wil wees om ewe praatgraag uitlatings oor ons nuuspapiertjie se spertye te maak, moet ons wys dat hy die kat aan die stert beet het: Duitsland het Brasilië met 7-1 verneder en Argentinië het Nederland met strafdoele (4-2) ore aangesit. Hoe’s daai, Mr Fly, vir op datum wees? — Redakteur

Hendra Gouws GTM het geen opgeleide lede om enige iets van die grond af te bring of in

stand te hou nie.... beskou dit as ‘n uitdaging!

Sê jou sê

Informele handelaars (smouse) neem hand oor hand toe in Tzaneen en kruip al verder deur die dorp om sonder toestemming hul sake voort te sit. Die GTM doen niks om die orde te herstel nie. Twee vrae duik nou op: (1) Is die proses van eiereg nog omkeerbaar, en(2) behoort die GTM nie met die formele en informele sektore hieroor te praat (‘n beraad te hou) en orde te herstel nie?

Informal traders are multiplying at a dizzying rate in Tzaneen and are spreading throughout the town, trading without permission. The GTM is turning a blind eye and does nothing to restore order. Two questions arise: (1) Is this attitude of lawlessness reverseable and(2) should the GTM not consult with formal and informal sectors to devise a plan to restore order?

Slegs ‘n enkele reaksie op ‘n groot vraag... Komaan Tzaneen, sonder oorleg en bewusmaking sal probleme net probleme bly en groter en groter word. As burgers van hierdie land en inwoners van Tzaneen is dit ons plig én reg om ons stemme dik te maak en oor die oplossings en toepassings daarvan te besin. Neem gerus deel en sê jou sê op ons Faceboek-blad.

It took a bit longer for Cell C to react to the Bulletin’s enquiries about the poor cellular telephone service that consumers in Tza-neen have to tolerate. Dropped calls, poor signal, numbers that suddenly don’t exist any longer, etcetera… these are things that challenge cell phone users’ patience on an almost daily basis.

We asked Ms Karin Fourie, the Executive Head: Communications, Cell C, for their comments regarding the problems that people here have to endure. She replied as follows:

“Cell C does have coverage in Tzaneen, albeit limited. Our network coverage in the rural areas has to be prioritised. There are a number of factors that affect this kind of rollout including access to transmission and population density. We continue to in-vest in our network and our planned CAPEX spend in 2014 is R2,3 billion. The company has 318 additional sites planned for 2014 across the country and we still have a roam-ing agreement with Vodacom to provide ser-vices to Cell C customers in outlying areas where we do not yet have coverage.”

Bulletin wants to congratulate Cell C for their explanation. We obtained information from a very reliable source that the prioriti-sation of service in rural areas was the crux of the problem. However, MTN and Voda-com in their replies (last week and the week before) did not refer to this.

Cell C is thus the only company to have indicated that service in towns and cities could be neglected at present. We have in-formation that even in Pretoria, and it seems especially in Centurion, the service is very ppor at times.

Cell phone users are encouraged to com-plain about the poor service. Dropped calls cost the caller money, after all!

Well-known restaurateur Gary Barnes from the popular Pot ’n Plow restaurant (known best for their pizzas) in Magoebaskloof is to lodge a substantial claim against the Minister of Safety & Security.

His claim will be for wrongful arrest, wrong-ful detention, an incorrect charge that was put to him, malicious prosecution and defamation of character. Barnes (62) on Wednesday per-sonally confi rmed this with us and his att or-ney, Mr Conrad Krüger, in whose offi ces we met, confi rmed that he has been instructed by Barnes to institute legal action.

The decision to claim from the Minister and/or the SA Police Service comes aft er the inves-tigating offi cer of the SAPS in Tzaneen apol-ogised to Barnes’ att orney for “inconvenience caused” when she confi rmed with him that the charges against him will be withdrawn.

Barnes was to stand accused of rape of a minor, allegedly more than a year ago. The 18-year-old girl from the Haenertsburg area claimed that she fell pregnant and that Barnes was the father of the child that was born about a year ago (when she was old-er than 16). Barnes denied the allegations against him.

“However, the police have failed to trace the girl. She is no longer at the address where

she stayed and the people in the vicinity say that they don’t know the girl,” Krüger said. He added that Barnes agreed to DNA tests to be done, but since the girl has “disappeared” it is not possible to arrange for tissue to be tested.

Barnes was arrested by police from Tza-neen, apparently before any investigation had been done or the girl’s age had been ver-ifi ed, and then kept in the SAPS’s holding cells in Haenertsburg for two nights. On the Monday aft er his arrest he was “paraded” down some of Polokwane’s busiest streets to the Magistrate’s Court whilst his hands were handcuff ed and his legs chained. His pass-port was confi scated and on the Monday he was granted bail of R1 000. His case was re-manded until 2 September.

Barnes is a British citizen who came to South Africa forty years ago and many of his relatives still live in the UK. Krüger said they are anxious to get Barnes’ passport back, since “you never know when Gary might need his passport. My client will obviously also get the bail money back”, Krüger said. When asked about the amount of money they intend to claim, Krüger said “we are busy with calculations and it would be premature to speculate about that at this point in time”

He added that loss of income could be add-ed to the other components of the total claim, but that component needs a lot of homework to be done fi rst.

• Barnes said on Wednesday that he was overwhelmed by the goodwill and support he received from friends. “I would like to thank my family and friends for the way in which they stood by me. I owe my lawyer, Mr Conrad Krüger a very special and sincere thank you”, he said.

Mr Gary Barnes (left) enjoy a lighter moment with well-known TV journalist and author Den-nis Beckett. Beckett, one of many celebrities who have visited Barnes’ restaurant in past years, was complimentary about the food and atmosphere in the popular Pot ‘n Plow, a stone’s

throw from the Magoebaskloof Hotel.

Cell C responds

Barnes to sue a� er arrest

Lede van die Working on Fire se High Altitude Team (HAT) het Woensdag soos wafferse spinne-koppe by die Mopani Distriksmunisipaliteit se Rampbeheersentrum in Tzaneen teen die brand-weer se oefentoring uitgeklim. Die Bulletin se waarneming Woensdag was dat die span se lede heel bedrewe is, trots is op hul werk en dit geniet, die gevaar van hoogtes ten spyt. Dit was ook opvallend hoe manhaftig en vaardig die vrouelede nie ‘n halwe tree vir hul manlike kollegas terug gedeins het nie. Ongelukkig was daar nie tyd om die mense se name neer te skryf nie, omdat hulle

kliphard aan die oefen was.

Young people and pensioners line up every day at Tzaneen’s Home Aff airs offi ce for ID cards, while the line moves prett y slowly. The issuing of ID cards at Home Aff airs is becoming a problem since everyone wants to have the new ID card, whilst they don’t have enough portable card machines to produce the cards.

This problem causes serious congestions in the Tzaneng Mall’s entrance. Home Aff airs should prioritise old and disabled people who do not have ID’s or people who never had ID’s before. Tzaneen Home Aff airs and Modjadjiskloof’s offi ce are the only places in

our area that have ID card machines. That is the reason why Tzaneen Mall’s entrance is al-ways crowded.

People this week said in their numbers that enough machines should be supplied in each and every offi ce so that disabled people and pensioners who need to apply for new ID documents wouldn’t be inconvenienced.

Our eff orts to communicate with the Tza-neen Home Aff airs offi ce manager for com-ment as well as the provincial spokesperson for Home Aff airs, Mr Sam Moremi, failed.

Prime Time & CrimeBulletin Crime Reporter: Arnold Mabunda - [email protected]

Criminal involvementTzaneen police apprehended sixty suspects over the past week: 25 people for assault, theft , shoplift ing, violating a protection order and for accusing others of witchcraft . At least eleven people in the area were nabbed for malicious damage to property, housebreaking, possessing counterfeit money, possession of dagga and suspected stolen property. Some 24 people were held for drinking in public, prostitution, att empted murder and various traffi c off ences.

Culpable homicideRitavi police are investigating a case of culpable homicide following the death of 81-year-old Ms Rebecca Mabunda of Homu Section 14 in Giyani. This incident happened at Mohlaba Cross on Sunday, while she

was crossing a road to catch a taxi home. A speeding motorist reportedly knocked her over and she died on the scene. Police investigations are said to be continuing.

Found deadLast Sunday morning Modjadjiskloof police found the corpse of a 34-year-old man with a wound in his chest at Block C, Sekgopo. On Tuesday a 19-year-old man was arrested in connection with the death. The suspect reportedly told police that on Saturday night he met the deceased. The deceased allegedly carried a knife and had intentions to rob him. He claimed that he managed to grab the knife from the man and defended himself. According to police reports the 34-year-old man was stabbed in his chest and he died instantly. Investigations are said to be ongoing. Anyone with information may anonymously contact W/O Kgamedi Seshoka on 083 938 9383 or the Modjadjiskloof police.

Murder case postponedThe case against 35-year-old Mozambican murder suspect Samson Majoko, found in possession of human body parts in Malamulele, has been postponed to 31

July. The suspect briefl y appeared in the Malamulele Magistrate’s Court last week Wednesday. “Police arrested Majoko aft er being informed by Malamulele residents about a man selling body parts worth R100 000”, said provincial Police spokesman Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi. Police reportedly rushed to the scene and arrested the suspect, who was found with a plastic bag containing private parts of a human and two hands. It is said that detectives found the body of the person from whom the parts were thought to have been cut off .

Mulaudzi said that the body has been taken to the forensic laboratory to determine whether the body parts found belonged to the deceased. Before being arrested the suspect reportedly told the police that “uncle was the one who knows whom the parts were to be sold to”. Further police investigations are said to being conducted.

Sigh of reliefResidents in Modjadjiskloof sighed with relief aft er their local police arrested 74 people involved in criminal activities. Police held 35 people for prostitution, liquor off ences and illegal gambling. Another 39

people were held for traffi c off ences, assault and possession of dagga.

Confusion about death Mystery surrounds the death of a 38-year-old man who was found dead in Section E, Giyani. Residents say the man was beaten to death by a mob who accused him of breaking into their houses. The deceased, who is said to have been from Ma-two-rooms sett lement, one of the squatt er camps in Giyani, is described as one of the wanted thugs that terrorised the area by breaking into houses to steal while people were at work and also during the night.

“There’s just too much crime around here and people are fed up,” said Mr David Magagani, one of the leaders of the Giyani Development Forum, an independent structure that fi ghts for access to water, development and prevention of crime in and around Giyani. A Giyani Police spokesperson disputed allegations that the death of the man had anything to do with mob justice or his crimes. Police investigations are ongoing.

Alleged fraudulent acti-vity involving the SA Social Security Agency’s Mopani district office in Tzaneen has a 68-year-old pensioner, Mr John-ny Thompson, at a point where he doesn’t know how to cope with his problems.

Last week Wednesday Thompson went from pil-lar to post in pursuit of an explanation for R1 200 that disappeared from his bank

account. One of the SASSA of-

fi cials in Tzaneen report-edly told him that his account was used to buy groceries worth R1 200 at Boxer. Thompson told Bulletin that he has never lost or given anyone ac-cess to his account. Of-fi cials were reluctant to assist him and told him to go to head offi ce for fur-ther enquiries. SASSA’s General Manager, Mr

SAPS want to tackle crime in TzaneenResidents in Tzaneen could soon be living in a safer environment. This is aft er a stakeholder meeting was held on Wednesday with heads of police and local authorities to address the situation.

Limpopo Police Deputy Commissioner Maj Gen Benny Ntlemeza told a gathering of councillors, chiefs, indunas and government offi cials that tackling crime should be easy. Residents should be united, proactive and utilise community policing forums to their advantage.

This would help them to quickly spot criminal activities within their communities and alert the police, he said. It has been alleged that police delays to respond to emergencies due to a shortage of vehicles frustrate people.

Ntlemeza said that the SAPS had enough vehicles for police to execute their job. It is inexcusable for police to delay att endening to emergencies because of transport problems.

“Residents should alert us in such incidents”, added Ntlemeza. “Inform me on 082 565 7386 if and when such alleged delays are experienced,” he said.

Pensioner’s money stolen

Daniel Sedibeng, could not be reached for com-ment. It is alleged that he spends most of his time in ANC meetings as the party’s deputy regional secretary.

Thompson has taken the matt er further with the Police to investigate the disappearance of his money.

The informal sector in Tzaneen is out of con-trol and if the Greater Tzaneen Municipality fail to restore order and discipline, the resi-dents, especially those who are involved in the formal sector, could become impatient and start asking very embarrassing and rath-er diffi cult questions.

Anybody wanting to wish away the informal sector should have his or her head read — but it can’t be expected from the formal sector to accept that hawkers have the right of way, so to speak, in every conceivable respect.

What Tzaneen’s residents and business people request is that traffi c fl ow and safety of pedestri-ans be taken into account; that proper thought is given and facilities made available that will prevent any comprise regarding hygiene; that noise levels in especially Danie Joubert Street is monitored and enforced; that the entrance to town, a town that needs to encourage strong growth in tourism, be treated according to the saying that fi rst impressions count.

We asked the GTM last week to share with us their vision as far as these aspects are con-cerned. They asked for specifi c questions and reacted to these promptly. We present these herewith (also read our ‘Kommentaar’ on page 6. It is in Afrikaans, but it will be pre-sented in English on our website from Mon-day, when the newspaper is made available on the website — www.bulletin.us.com). The

answers to our questions were supplied by the GTM’s spokesperson, Mr Neville Ndlala.

Bulletin: We have been notifi ed by hawk-ers and the Tzaneen Motor Mechanics Asso-ciation of a meeting with the GTM on Thurs-day at 10:00. Can you please brief me on what that meeting is all about?

GTM: The meeting with Hawkers and Bush Mechanics has not yet been confi rmed, since the Hawkers Association requested time to consult with their committ ee members. The meeting is to discuss the handover of a new site for the bush motor mechanics. The new site is the open space opposite Choice Super-market.

Bulletin: We are also told by the same me-chanics that they are in talks with the GTM regarding the new concrete security fence in Claude Wheatley Street. They say the GTM has promised to move them to the open space opposite Choice Supermarket or the contrac-tor is to leave open entrances for them to con-tinue working there. Which one will it be? The main purpose of the fence is to prevent the mechanics from working there and pol-luting the river?

No reply to or comment on this question. Bulletin: If you move the hawkers:1. Where will you move the kiosks, since we

understand that they belong to Coca-Cola?GTM: Hawkers were given ownership of

those kiosks and they will have to relocate them at a later stage.

Bulletin: 2. Has the GTM obtained permission from

Coke to remove the kiosks?GTM: The kiosks now belong to the hawkers.Bulletin: 3. Since some hawkers use open fi res to pre-

pare food in the open opposite the site that might become the new space for the mecha-ics, will the GTM also move them to a new location?

GTM: Moving those hawkers will be a sec-ond step aft er we have fi nalised the issue of relocation of the mechanics.

Bulletin: 4. Where is the GTM planning to move the

Sangoma to, occupy-ing a piece of land near the river illegal-ly? Will he be moved with the mechanics?

GTM: The Sango-ma is not part of the plan. However the GTM will take the necessary steps to re-move him to ensure his safety, as well as prevent pollution of the river.

Court cases postponedThirteen Regional Court cases were postponed on Mon-day in Tzaneen. Many of these cases were in connection with serious cases of robbery, assault, theft and house-breaking. Some of the accused wanted to change their legal representatives and others had to apply for state attorneys to defend them. Some of the cases of assaults are very sensitive and they had to be postponed as the in-termediary was not available due to work related matters.

Daar is ‘n toename eerder as ‘n afname in swaarverkeer op die Magoebaskloofroete — ten spyte van weke se navrae deur die Bulletin oor die Limpopo departement van vervoer en verkeer se duidelike laksheid om die beletsel op swaar voertuie op dié roete toe te pas. Ons het vandag op bladsy 3 ‘n verdere berig hieroor. Ons merk in ‘n ander koerant dat die inwoners van Magoebaskloof moedeloos is oor die

ongelukke waarin swaar voertuie betrokke is. Dit gaan nie help nie. Betoog sal dalk help of versperrings op die pad as swaarvoertuie daar ry, want die owerheid weet self nie mooi en verstaan ook nie wat aan die gang is nie. Die foto hierbo is die afgelope Vrydag ongeveer 07:45 geneem, toe verkeer na Polokwane erg druk was. Die vragmotor het ‘n vrag kar-

ton gedra en van die pad geloop. Niemand is beseer nie.

The distance branch of Mukhanyo College in Tzaneen recently celebrat-ed its fi rst year of existence. Since the small beginning last year the number of students has grown to six. They have already fi nished three modules and will be starting with the next module next week Friday (18 July).

The distance branch of Mukhanyo College in Tzaneen will be presenting two modules in Old Testament stud-ies during the following nine months. Students will learn more about the importance of the Old Testament, who the authors of the diff erent Old Testament books were, the purpose of the books and the outline of each book. During the fi rst module Gene-sis to Nehemia will be studied. The rest of the Old Testament will be studied in the second module.

Students who fi nish the modules successfully will receive certifi cates.

The Old Testament modules are part of the Mukhan-yo Diploma course in theology. Aft er fi nishing the Old Testament modules students can enroll for more subjects with the aim to obtain a diploma in Theology.

New students are welcome to join. Classes are present-ed every Friday aft ernoon at 14:00 at the Gereformeerde Kerk Laeveld in Claude Wheatley Street, Tzaneen (Re-formed Church opposite HiQ and the FET College).

Please contact Dr Edmund de Beer (083 3911 065) for more information. The cost per module is only R200. A number of bursaries are available.

Ons Mening

Goeie nuusDaar is goeie nuus vir inwoners van Tza-neen — en veral erg gefrustreerde sakelui in die dorp — dat die Groter Tzaneen Muni-sipaliteit besig om meer orde te probeer skep in die omgewing van die Letaba-rivier, waar dit deur die dorp vloei. Dit is duidelik sigbaar in die vorm van die betonheining wat nou op die rivieroewer gebou word.

Op bladsy 5 van vandag se uitgawe is ‘n reeks antwoorde op vrae wat ons oor die informele handel in die dorp aan die GTM gestel het. Dit is jammer dat die antwoorde so vaag is dat dit byna as niksseggend af-gemaak kan word. Dit het ons laat wonder oor die erns van die GTM om ‘n oplossing te vind vir die smouse wat die dorp straat vir straat begin beset.

Toe loop ons redakteur vroeër dié week ons dorp se eerste burger en een van haar direkteure in ‘n parkeerterrein raak en daar begin ‘n informele gesprek, met ‘n vroeë vraag oor hoekom die Bulletin die GTM so “te lyf gaan”. Die antwoord was maklik: beskou dit nie as persoonlik of as aanvalle nie, maar eerder as ‘n begeerte dat dit goed moet gaan met ons dorp en dat ons wil help met pro-aktiewe optredes.

Dit het die gesprek laat vlot en toe kom die smouse en enkele ander kwelsake ter sprake. Ewe gou was dit duidelik dat daar ‘n behoeft e is aan ‘n burgerlike struk-tuur (soos ‘n belastingbetalersvereniging) waarmee die GTM kan konsulteer.

Gaan ons mense ooit regruk en opruk om ons dorp se toekoms te help beskerm en daaraan te help bou?

En is daar nog raadslede wat meer is as ook maar net passasiers op die soustrein?

Die Boodskap

Die gebruik van die Magoe-baskloofroete deur swaar vrag-motors is nou een van Limpopo se (baie) ordentlike raaisels.

Vrydag was daar weer ‘n lang oponthoud — juis vroegoggend toe stringe motors op pad was Polokwane toe vir sake en van mense wat daagliks ry om daar te gaan werk. ‘n Vragmotor met karton het met sleepwa en al net-net van die pad geloop en ‘n groot deel van die vrag het afgeval (foto op bladsy 5).

Dit was gelukkig nie ‘n erge ongeluk waarin mense beseer is nie, maar dit laat nou net weer die vrae waarop die Bulletin by die owerhede antwoorde soek, opnuut opklink (die vrae klink deesdae weekliks op en die antwoorde bly weg).

Ons het by Limpopo se departement van vervoer (paaie en verkeersbeheer is deel van dié department) oor onder meer die volgen-de navraag gedoen, maar hul woordvoerder hou voet by stuk dat hulle tevrede is dat Ma-goebaskloof se probleem oordrewe is:

• Daar was vir baie jare ‘n kennisgewing buite Polokwane wat swaar voertuie weggekeer het na die Mooketsi/Modjadjiskloof-roete. Later

is Georges Valley begin gebruik, met talle ongelukke in dié bergpas, waarvan verskeie noodlott ig was. Hoekom word groot swaar vragmotors nou toegelaat om na willekeur die Magoebaskloofroete te gebruik?

• Hoekom is ‘n weegbrug ten duurste by Mooketsi gebou? Ons het verstaan dit was juis deel van die reëling dat die swaar voertuie daardie roete tussen Polokwane en Tzaneen sou gebruik en daar geweeg kon word.

• Hoekom is yslike borde by die ingang na Magoebaskloof van die R73 af in die omgewing van die Hoërskool Merensky opgerig, wat die beperking aandui dat slegs ligte afl eweringsvragmotors en inwoners van daardie omgewing die pad met hul boerdery-vragmotors mag gebruik?

• Die pad tussen die ZCC se Zion-berg en Tzaneen is herbou en verseker groot ver-ligting vir gebruikers. Dit plaas Tzaneen nou as ‘t ware op die kaart, want mense het vanweë die vrot toestand van die pad en

tydens ddie bouwerk aan die “nuwe” pad die roete vermy. Maar omdat die roete baie draaierig is, verniel swaar vragmotors wat maklik met hul vrag die skaal op veertig ton en meer trek, die pad en dit maak nie eko-nomiese sin nie.

• Die roete is ook gevaarlik vir gewone mo-toriste, omdat in baie van die ongelukke in die verlede het die swaar voertuie se remme oorverhit en was dit uiteindelik die oorsaak van die ongelukke. Motoriste moes dikwels hul lewens in gevaar stel deur uit te swenk vir ‘n remlose groot vragmotor wat om ‘n draai die volle breedte van die pad gebruik het of teen ‘n afdraende aan die weghol ge-raak en alles voor hulle weggevee het.

Terwyl daar gereeld vertel word van ons uitermate hoë padongeluksyfers, groot geld aan reklame vir projekte soos “Arrive Alive” en ander bestee word, nuwe planne elke Paas-naweek en met die Kerstyd aangekondig word en motoriste gedreig word met strenger op-

tredes, kan die owerheid nie met goeie dissipline en toewyding sorg dat reëls toegepas word nie.

Dis mos maklik: maak dié roete vir ‘n maand ‘n prioriteit, waarsku alle swaar vragmotors

en keer hulle weg na die Mooketsi-roete. Na ‘n maand word toegeslaan en die maksi-mum boetes gehef of beslag gelê op die vragmotors met hul vragte of watt er streng optredes die Prokureur-generaal ook bereid is om te aanvaar.

Tree genadeloos op (sonder omkoopgeld en sulke nonsies) en die nuus sal baie vin-nig die gereelde gebruikers van die roete bereik en hulle sal dit vermy. As die GTM ‘n goeie slag in openbare verhoudings wil slaan (met ‘n voorbeeld aan die res van die land), begin met hofl ikheidskaartjies wat vooraf aan eienaars van die swaar vragmo-tors gestuur word. Dit is nie so moeilik om vir ‘n tyd ‘n bietjie arbeid af te staan om op-names te maak nie.

Waar daar ‘n wil is, is daar ‘n weg (ver-skoon die woordspeling).

Sokker-Wêreldbeker Biljoene mense regoor die wêreld se oë is huidig op Rio de Janeiro in Brasilië gerig waar die Sokker-Wêreldbeker plaas-vind. Ek sien selfs Vlieg is daarheen oppad! In 2016 sal die Olimpiese Somerspele ook daar plaasvind.

Oor die stad pryk die reuse standbeeld van Christus die Verlosser – die Christo Redentor. Die standbeeld is uit sandsteen gemaak en beeld Chris-tus uit wat regop en met uitgestrekte arms staan.

Die standbeeld, wat die voetstuk insluit, is 38 me-ter hoog, weeg 635 ton en is geleë op die top van die Corcovado berg wat 700 meter hoog is. Die wonder van die standbeeld is dat dit vanuit enige plek in Rio de Janeiro sigbaar is.

‘n Joernalis wat die stad besoek het, het die vol-gende interessante waarneming gemaak: Dit is ‘n nagmêrrie om rigting in die stad te hou en almal wat daar kuier verdwaal. Die rede vir die verwar-ring, is dat daar ‘n doolhof van klein straatjies is, wat soms binne in dieselfde straat eindig. Hy maak twee voorstelle om rigting in die stad te hou. Jy moet vir jou ‘n baie goeie Globale Posisionering-stelsel (GPS) aanskaf of jy moet jou rigting bepaal deur jou oë die hele tyd op Christus se standbeeld te hou, wat vir jou die rigting sal aandui.

In ons eie leefwêreld bevind ons ons ook in dool-howe, waarin ons sukkel om rigting te hou en nie die pad byster te raak nie. Die joernalis het eintlik ‘n baie eenvoudige oplossing vir die probleem, as hy sê: “Moet nooit jou oë van Christus afh aal nie, Hy sal vir jou die rigting aandui en jy sá l jou eind-bestemming bereik, sonder om te verdwaal”.

Hebreërs 12:1-2 – Laat ons dan hierdie lewenswed-loop wat vir ons voorlê, met volharding hardloop, die oog gevestig op Jesus!

• Mense soos Vlieg en Oubal en die redakteur van hierdie koerantjie moet katvoet wees vir mense wat dalk vir hulle kwaad kan wees, want mens het mos nie ‘n liksens vir ‘n windbuks nodig nie en met dees-

dae se windbukse gaan jag sommige ouens olifante. Of leeus of soiets.Sommer hier in die dorp. Ja, mense raak lekker hans en skiet kleyn ou di-ertjies ook met die windbukse...• Daai ouditeursverslag raak met

elke lees interessanter. Gaan dalk ‘n paar naweke in Mosambiek kos om sake reg te stel...• Mense besef steeds nie dat omtrent alle winkels,veral by petrolstasies, CCTV-kameras het...

Magoebaskloof-raaisel pla motoriste

Hollandse vriende van iemand by die Bulletin het onlangs vakansie in die Kruger Nasionale Park gehou. Snaaks genoeg het die gedagte aan suipings in die veld vir die wild hulle in verwondering gelaat. “Dat is erg leuk”, het hule keer op keer gesê, waarskynlik omdat hulle by die suipings baie wil gesien het en onder meer ook ‘n trop leeus wat ‘n “bees” platgetrek het. Terug in Utrecht (Holland) het een van die gesinslede op die foto (seker op die I-net) afgekom, terstond ‘n byskrif gemaak en vir ons gestuur — en gesorg dat ons kennis neem van die feit dat die “wilde bus” uit ‘n rivier water drink en nie ‘n suiping nie!

For most of us, the sight of fl yers advertising fast, cheap and pain-free abor-tions pasted on poles and pavements has become

too familiar — one hardly ever considers whether women in our communities make use of these abortion services.

With laws that give pregnant women the right to access free abortions at state hos-pitals within the fi rst twelve weeks of their pregnancies, we have some of the most liber-al sexual and reproductive laws in the world.

However, studies show that about 50% of terminations undergone by young girls be-tween the ages of thirteen and nineteen are done by illegal practitioners.

We recently asked Dr Jackson Ndhlovu, a local gynecologist, a few questions in order to understand some aspects bett er:Q: In your opinion, why are women seeking

services from illegal abortion practitioners?A: Because most of the abortions women

seek are illegal. In SA, abortions are only legal if they are medical; that is, if they are done during the fi rst twelve weeks of preg-nancy. If a pregnancy is more than twelve weeks old, a woman will need a medical in-dication to terminate it. A medical indication may be anything from if the mother’s health is threatened by the pregnancy to rape, incest (pregnancy between relatives) or if the child will be born with severe disabilities. During the fi rst twelve weeks, most pregnant wom-en are undecided on whether they want to get an abortion. By the time they decided to get one, they no longer legally qualify, hence they seek illegal practitioners.Q: Why does the law only allow for the fi rst

twelve weeks?A: Before twelve weeks, the fetus has no

bones and no structure. It is like a clot, and therefore, can be easily removed through drugs. Aft er twelve weeks, it becomes more complicated to remove it out of the mother’s body. If the abortion is not properly conduct-ed, it can lead to excessive bleeding, trauma and infections amongst other complications.Q: Why all the illegal abortion practitioners?A: The problem is that nothing will ever real-

ly happen to illegal practitioners if the people who have sought help from them don’t speak out. Illegal practitioners prey on des-perate women who don’t qualify for medical abortions. If some-thing goes wrong, the women won’t speak-out because they know they did not qualify for the abortion. Illegal practition-ers thrive on such women to get money. They don’t follow proper procedures to terminate the preg-nancies. They will do anything from giving the patient the wrong drug dosage to literally removing the baby through wires just to terminate the pregnancy and get their money.Q: Many articles and a lot of re-

search done on this subject point out that women also run to illegal practitioners instead of state hos-pitals because of the bad treatment they receive in state hospitals.A: While it may be true that

people fi nd nurses at state hos-

pitals rude, although I’ve never come across such a case myself, one has to understand that these nurses are overwhelmed. State hospitals experience a serious shortage of staff in their abortion wings. Moreover, in our area, there are probably only two state hospitals — Letaba and CN Phatudi — that off er abortion services.Q: Do you think some health practitioners

are staying away from performing abortions because of their convictions? A: Undoubtedly! Nurses also fear being

judged by the public for performing abortions.Q: If you were to advise pregnant women

who still qualify for an abortion but are un-decided on gett ing one, what would you say?A: Go see a psychologist. State hospitals

and clinics have psychologists and social workers. Terminating a pregnancy or going through one is a very emotional process. Make sure you seek the help of a psycholo-gist before you decide on keeping or aborting a baby. — Research & report: Joy Mojela

Important Facts• South Africa was the fi rst coun-

try in sub-Saharan Africa to le-galise abortions

• Since abortions were legalized, the number of deaths result-ing from improperly performed abortions decreased by at least 90% (SA Medical Journal)

• A woman of any age can choose to terminate a pregnancy

• All health practitioners need a license to practice privately

• Illegal abortion practitioners must be reported to the police

— and the experts say:• “Health practitioners are sup-

posed to give you pain-killers before you terminate a pregnan-cy,” says Ndhlovu.

• “Although free abortions are guaranteed at public hospitals and clinics designated by the government to offer the service, less than half of the facilities designated to offer the services offer them,” say Jina Moore and

Estelle Ellis in their article “In South Africa, a Liberal Abortion Law Doesn’t Guarantee Access”.

• “There’s also reason to believe that there is widespread public ignorance about abortions. A 2006 study found that at least 30% of SA women believed that abortion was still illegal. A high-er percentage did not realise that there were time constraints on when one may legally seek an abortion. Such confusion may have something to do with a dearth of clear public messages from government on the subject,” says Marion Stevens, coordinator of WISH (Women in Sexual and Reproductive Rights and Health)

• NGOPulse.org states: “Street marketing also plays a role in promoting illegal providers. Wom-en see walls and lamp posts plastered with advertisements claiming to offer ‘safe’, ‘painfree’, ‘quick’, and ‘cheap’ abortions. The proliferation of this advertising,

and the fact that it is posted in public spaces such as taxi ranks and shopping centers make many women believe they are accessing a legitimate service.”

• “Other than death, abortions re-sult in serious illness (morbid-ity). Immediate complications from unsafe abortions include severe bleeding, uterine perfo-ration, tearing of the cervix, se-vere damage to the genitals and abdomen, internal infection of the abdomen and blood poison-ing. Medium-term complications range from reproductive tract infections and pelvic infl amma-tory disease to chronic pain. Long term complications in-clude increased risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancy, miscar-riage or premature delivery in subsequent pregnancies. Unfor-tunately, data on the number of women who experience morbid-ity due to illegal abortion is also not available,” (NGOpulse.org).

Kan jy nou meer! Daar gaan staan en loop Letaba se eerste span Saterdag ‘n Brasiliese pak slae op die lyf teen Noordelikes, teen die breë verwagting in en omdat die Laeveld se groen masjien in die tweede helft e gestott er het en net nie aan die gang wou kom nie.

Letaba Rugbyklub het Saterdag met drie spanne opgeruk na Polokwane, om teen Noordelikes in die Boet Fick-liga se eindstryd te speel. Slegs die

tweede span kon die stadsjapies ore aansit en hulle is nou vir die tweede jaar agtereenvolgend Limpopo-kampioene.

Letaba 2 het in ‘n harde wedstryd Noordelikes 2 met 16-10 geklop. Heinrich Badenhorst, die speler van die wedstryd, het die enigste drie gedruk. Cornel Jacobs het met die doelskop geslaag en ook met drie strafskoppe. Vir Letaba 2 het die voorry met Pieter Human, Heinrich Badenhorst en Ruaan Coetzee uitgeblink en hul veel

swaarder teenstaanders goed besig gehou.

Richardt Wernich was weer ‘n handvol en is hy goed ondersteun deur JP O’Connell, Bennie Kruger en Jaco Dippenaar. Die ou man in die span, Carel Theunisen, het Noordelikes ook laat kreun met sy kraglopies. Agterlangs het Bobby Du Plessis, Cornel Jacobs en Trevor Hope uitgeblink.

Letaba 2 het vanjaar gewys dat groott e nie saak maak nie en as jou hart op die regte plek is, staan jy vir niemand terug nie.

Letaba se eerste span het onverklaarbaar ‘n nagmerrie tweede helft e beleef, waar alles wat kón verkeerd loop, inderdaad verkeerd geloop het — balle is teen teenstanders vasgeskop en balle is aangeslaan en Noordelikes het blitsvinnig die foute uitgebuit en drieë gedruk.

Met rustyd was die telling nog net 17-10 in Noordelikes se guns, maar daarna was daar net een span op die veld en Noordelikes het uiteindelik met 46-17 gewen.

Letaba se voorspelers het meer as hul man gestaan en Eben Fichardt en Glen

Mafumo het in die lynstane oorheers. Hulle het heelwat van Noordelikes se balle afgeneem.

Uit die lynstane het Letaba groot stukke veld met sterk dryfwerk gewen, maar wanneer die bal na die agterlyn gegaan het, het die opponente punte aangeteken, eerder as Letaba self!

Picasso Coetzer was die beste voorspeler op die veld en is hy goed ondersteun deur Scheepers Lubbe en Quintin Kruger. Agterlangs was Slang Sibanda elke keer gevaarlik wanneer hy met die bal gehardloop het, maar ongelukkig was daar nie ondersteuning vir hom nie. Alec Mhlanga en Gom Bvuma kan ook tevrede voel met hul poging.

Dit is jammer dat Letaba 1 al hul goeie werk vir die jaar in een helft e ongedaan gemaak het, maar is daar baie hoop vir die klub vorentoe, aangesien verskeie jong spelers met talent vanjaar by die klub aangesluit het. Ervaring sal volg en onder afrigter Johan Steyn se wakende oog sal die talent na hul beste potensiaal ontwikkel word.

Daar is ook ‘n nuwe gees en atmosfeer in die klub en die bestuur is besig met ‘n sterk en gesonde aanslag om die klub op koers te hou en in alle opsigte

te versterk.Die derde span

het Saterdag ook net-net verloor — die eindtelling was 22-17 — en Jannes Van Loggenbergh, Johan Coetzee en Pierre Barnard het die oog met hul goeie spel gevang.

Bulletin

Oubal het ‘n ernstige voorneme gehad om niks te sê oor die verspott e toernooitjie wat tans daar in die Amasone aan die gang is nie, maar wanneer die provokasie te groot raak, kan Oubal ook nie maar net stilbly nie.

‘Tja, Oubal het geen begeerte om vlieë af te vang met sy kollega Vlieg nie, maar hoe meer Vlieg sotlikhede kwytraak, hoe duideliker word dit vir Oubal dat die man (of vrou?) maar bra oningelig is. Oubal moet dus vandag ‘n hele paar vlieë met een klap doodslaan, om die man/vrou op die verkeerdheid en misplaastheid van sy/haar weë te wys.

Om Oubal verlede week daarvan te beskuldig dat hy net een sportsoort ken, is verder van die waarheid verwyder as wat die Kaap van Rio is. Oubal weet neef Vlieg sal dit nie mooi verstaan nie, want in sy onkunde is hy/sy nie daarvan bewus dat Oubal in 1976 ‘n bevare bootsman saam met Bertie Reed op die Kaap-na-Rio-seiljagvaart was nie. Na die ry van die passaatwinde het Oubal ‘n paar dinge van Rio geleer, wat ooglopend nog nie

by neef/niggie Vlieg aangekom het nie, of heeltemaal by hom/haar verby is.

‘Tja, as die verwarde Portugees wat die plek “ontdek” het, Gaspar Lemos, nie so ewe oningelig as Vlieg was nie, sou Vlieg nou met sy/haar abdomen in iets anders as “Rio” gesit het — die plek is immers aan ‘n baai geleë en nie ‘n rivier nie! Tweedens, as ou Gaspar en Vlieg geweet het wat Oubal weet, sou hulle tydsberekening beter gewees het as om in Januarie of Julie onderskeidelik daar op te daag.

Seil Oubal mos saam met Biltong Bertie die baai binne in middel Februarie te midde van die Rio-karnaval. Glo maar vir Oubal, neef/niggie, dis groter sport(s) as ‘n rondebôlwêreldbekertjie, want die

eerste drie lett ers van die naam Brasilië is opvallend afwesig by daai jolytmakende brassery. Gevolglik, neef/niggie, is die ronde voorwerpe wat daar rondsweef aansienlik aansienliker as in daai simpel sportsoortjie waardeur jy jou nou laat verlei het.

Baía de Fevereiro eternamente!Hoe dit ookal sy, neef/niggie Vlieg weet te

beweer dat hy/sy nou agter die dom-fanatiese lot aan is omdat dit dan nou kwansuis ‘n misdaadvrye omgewing is. Synde dat Oubal verneem Colombië uitgeskakel is, is dit nogal jammer dat neef/niggie Vlieg nie die Colombiaan Andrés Escobar hieroor kon raadpleeg nie. Teken ou Andrés mos in 1994 ‘n doel teen sy eie span aan, waarvoor hy vyf dae later ses skote deur die lyf kry!

Vredeliewende mens wat hy is, is Oubal baie dankbaar om te verneem dat El Salvador nie vir hierdie klugspulletjie gekwalifi seer het nie, want ou Andrés se ontydige dood is niks in vergelyking met wat in 1969 tussen hulle en Honduras gebeur het nie. Binne 24 uur nadat El Salvador vir Honduras in die

kwalifi serende rondes uitgeskakel het, breek daaroor toe ‘n oorlog tussen die twee lande uit. Misdaadvryheid se ses voete, neef/niggie!

‘Tja, neef/niggie, Oubal gun jou en diesulkes julle barbaarse hoenderhemel, maar Oubal het aan julle gedink toe hy verlede week ‘n paar heerlike dae daar by Innibos in Mbombela geniet het. Wat Oubal getref het is dat ongeag die buitensporige kaartjiekoste, dit nog steeds goedkoper is as om 6 000 km agter ‘n klomp derderangse akteurs aan te vlieg, terwyl hier beter toneelspel op jou voorstoep is!

“Aquila non capit muscas.” – Antieke Romeinse spreuk • Ons het groot waardering vir Oubal se bedagsaamheid om nie die Eva-geslag dalk uit onkunde te misken nie, maar ons bevestig nou en hier dat Vlieg manlik is. Dat Oubal hieroor in ‘n stryd met homself is, is verbasend; want g’n vrou, nie eens dié wat dodelik gift ig met die tong is, sal tog so oneerbiedwaardig skryf oor preekmeesters, so lasterlik oor prokurowers en so onpedagogies oor skoolmeesters nie — Redakteur

Baía de Fevereiro!

Letaba Rugbyklub se triomfantelike tweede span vier hul oorwinning in die Boet Fick-liga. Links agter staan mnre Gawie du Plessis (spanbestuurder) en klubvoorsitter Pieter Human en in die tweede/derde ry van voor effe na regs in ‘n gewone groen T-hemp is die span se afrigter,
