MediClinic Tzaneen is about to open a fourth operating theatre. The � nal in-spection of the new theatre was executed by a team of representatives of the de-partment of health last week. The fourth theatre will ensure great relieve, since the constant growth in patient numbers has caused regular bottle necks and doctors often have to execute intense patience when they need to perform procedures in a theatre. Seen during the inspection were Mr Stephen Masemola (clinical technician), RN Sunelle Bekker (Medi-Clinic theatre unit manager), Mr Zane Fanie (MediClinic hospital manager), dr Vusi Buthelezi (GM provincial o� ce), dr Thabo Pinkoane (senior manager hospi-tal management support), Mr Malesela Makinta (deputy director environmental and occupational health), Ms Dusty Ra-moshaba (chief artisan provincial health) and RN Mantwa Mukhawane (deputy manager Van Velden Hospital). The chair-man of MediClinic Tzaneen’s board of directors, dr Ig Van Rensburg, this week con� rmed that an ambitious project to further expand the hospital, probably in two phases, will be announced in the not

so distant future.

R33m disappears

The Greater Tzaneen Municipality failed to explain how they charge consumers for not using 10% less water. The GTM’s spokesperson, Mr Neville Ndlala, could not explain how they enforce central government’s instruction to save water, but he promised to get back to us. Ndlala has become notorious for making false promises to the me-dia and to simply ignore our enquiries.

There were plenty of gleaming smiles when Stanford Lake College’s matrics said farewell during a posh dinner/dance. Seen here are the 2015 leaders of the School: Makungu Valoyi (head girl) Rameez Tayob (head boy), Abigail Joubert (deputy head girl) and Rich Mongwe (deputy head boy). More photos on page 11.

R33m disappearsThe money problems of the Mopani District Municipality seem to be get-ting more and bigger. In the latest drama an amount of R33 million is said to have vanished and att empts to fi nd out what has happened to the money, has allegedly failed. A councillor has now asked for a special debate, to discuss the “dis-appearance” of the money. The Auditor Gen-eral demanded an investigation, but the councillor

says nothing has been done to launch such an investigation. The MDM’s municipal manager, Mr Tim Maake,

has been suspended months ago, pending an investigation into the MDM’s fi nances. It is also alleged

that a central government grant of R200 million has been misappropriated or,

at the worst, also “vanished”.• Read our full report on page 8

Bulletin het hierdie week 3 vrae op Facebook gevra na aanleiding van berigte in verlede week se koerant. Hier is die reaksie op daardie vrae.

Forgotten wreck? Bulletin asked: Do you get the impression that there is good control

over the use of Government vehicles? • Kry jy die indruk dat daar goeie beheer oor die gebruik van Staatsvoertuie is?

Matrics say farewell in style Bulletin asked: Is too much made of matric farewells, especially regarding the cost thereof? • Word daar

te veel gemaak van ‘n matriekafskeid, veral wat betref die koste daaraan verbonde?

Put your phones down!Bulletin het gevra: Dink jy mense steur hulle regtig daaraan dat dit onwettig is om te bestuur en terselfdertyd op ‘n selfoon te praat? • Do you think people really care that it’s illegal to drive while talking on a

cell phone?

The opinions/statements made herein are that of our readers and do not necessarily refl ect the views and opinions of the Bulletin. The comments of people are given verbatim. We appeal to all who take part in the debates not to use hate-speech or to be insulting towards others.

Vlieg is nog die hele week besonder blymoedig nadat hy die goeie nuus ontvang het dat sy moffi e-maatjies ook darem nou hemel toe kan gaan. Dit volg natuurlik op die Nederduimse Gemoff ereerde Kerk se sinodale besluit dat sy gemeentes nou homoseksuele lidmate kan toelaat, trou, tot diakonessies en ou- derliefi es verkies en selfs legi-timeer!

Hoewel die Koning van kop-dokters Vlieg al in die verlede gerepudieer het oor sy oënskyn-like homofobie en boelieagtig-heid, waar sy Vlieg geïnterpre-teer het net soos enkelvers gelowiges die Bybel inter-preteer, het Vlieg darem al intussen uit die kas geklim met die openbaring dat hy self nie omgee as die son maar oor die mof-fi es ook skyn nie. Solank hulle net ‘n sonroompie aansmeer om te keer vir die plooitjies!

Vlieg wil die NGK (Nou Gay Kerk) geluk-wens met hul besluit en hoop dat dit hul lid-

maatgetalle weer sal laat toeneem. Dit is maar net enkele weke gelede dat daar so wyd berig is dat hulle getalle so kwyn. Goeie skuif! Ter-loops, Vlieg stel voor dat die ANC hierdie sit-

uasie fyn dophou, noudat hul lidmaatskap ook aan die afneem is. Dit mag hulle dalk

in die volgende verkniesing baat om ook ‘n hand van vriendskap na die

gay gemeenskap uit te steek.Die reaksie uit eendersdenkende eendersdenkende geledere was

natuurlik heel voorspelbaar. Daarvoor kan ‘n mens maar

net ‘n paar blogs lees en die sms- en briewekolomme in die dagpapiertjies.Die Hervormers is

natuurlik self onlangs deur diepe waters met hul apart-

heid-sage wat ook gelei het tot ver-deeldheid en struweling. Vlieg se mening oor albei sake, en die meeste ander side

shows wat kerke deesdae opdis as die waar-heid, is vandeesweek baie uitstekend saam-gevat deur een van die nie-steeds-Hervormde Dreyers, en daar is baie van hulle:

“Daar moet onderskei word tussen leer- kwessies en lewenskwessies. Leerkwessies is wesenlike sake soos Jesus se opstanding uit die dood. Lewenskwessies is dinge soos politieke beleid en seksualiteit. Lewenskwessies moet beskou word in die veranderende konteks waarin ons leef.”

Oulike Dreyertjie dié, klink amper of ‘n mens V.I. (Vlieg’s Insiens) voor dit kon invoeg. Waarvoor ‘n mens wel V.I. kan voeg, is dat hierdie fi ght nog nie verby is nie en daar nog baie debatt e gaan volg, dis seker! En Vlieg sal ook nog uiteraard ‘n paar eiers hieroor lê!

As iemand die dominee se uitspraak na Vlieg-iaans toe wou vertaal, sodat die eendersdenk-ende eenderdenkendes behoorlik kan verstaan wat hy sê, sou dit seker gewees het:

“Julle hou julle met ‘n klomp twak op terwyl almal besig is om hel toe te gaan.”

Soos dit iemand van Vlieg se inbors betaam, sluit hy af met ‘n Gesang, met apologie aan die Doppers dat dit nie ‘n Psalm is nie:

Vlieg sien ‘n nuwe hemel kom‘n aarde waar almal stry.Waar dit wat ons skei, nimmer verdwynAl is die kerk ook nou gay!

Allan Forbes Don”t worry a new one was waiting. The state scrapyard is full, no place for this one.

Saartjie van der Gryp klaar nuwe 1 geeis..........

Sonja Pienaar Nee daar is nie, hulle ry erger as die taxis in die dorp. Hulle

dink hulle mag doen net wat hulle wil omdat hulle n staatsvoertuig ry

Lizette Vd Merwe Newton

Ek se nee geen beheer nie. Ek werk daagliks met hulle en so baie van hulle ry van

Venda sommer saam met n klomp vriende deur om by ons te koop. Die SAP ry met ‘n vangwa in gewone klere rond toe ek daaroor uitvra ant-woord hulle nie een besit ‘n bestuurs lisensie nie en altwee kom van Mpu-malanga af om hier te draai. Ek won-der wie kyk daarna.

Elza van Wyk Gun hulle dit. Hul eerste groot geleentheid.

Ronel de Bruyn Ja jinne! Dis soos n vooraf troue!

Maritha Fourie Theron nee, ek sien elke dag minstens elke tweede voertuig se bestuurder is op n selfoon. Kyk maar gerus, die voertuig- bestuurder wat oor die soliede lyn, wat sukkel om te draai, en die

ander voertuig sien waarin hy/sy vas ry nie, het almal ‘n selfoon teen die oor en dink almal hulle kan op hulle selfoon praat en bestuur

The team from Mercy Air have returned safely following yet another successful outreach last week. The White River based Christian humanitarian aviation organ-ization is well known for their humanitarian work in Africa and gained international recog-nition during the great Mozambican fl oods of 2000, where their aircraft proved an invaluable part of the global eff ort to save lives.

This time round the group ventured into the rural area of Macumbeze in Western Mozam-bique. For this operation, Mercy Air partnered with Kind2Hearing and In His Name Ministries to perform hearing tests on 180 children. Hear-ing aids were taken along to be fi tt ed to those who needed them. The hearing tests were con-ducted by representatives from Kind2Hearing, Jane Maradze (an audiologist) and Chrizelle Koen (an audiometrist from Tzaneen).

“It was quite an eye opener seeing all of these children, most of whom have never had their

ears tested before. In one case we even removed a bead that was lodged inside a litt le girl’s ear for two months causing

her tremendous discomfort,” said Koen. Dur-ing their four day stay at the ASAM school, the team tested close on 200 children including some of the staff and the headmaster. A medi-cal doctor from Ohio in the USA and his wife assisted with the procedures.

Sadly the Kind2Hearing team were not able to do any of the hearing aid fi tt ings due to the type of hearing loss not allowing for what is called open fi tt ing. They took moulds of the ears and during their next visit later this month, those fi tt ings will be done.

Many of the children need hearing aids but suff er from a condition known as Otitis Media which is a middle ear infection and would need to drain completely before a fi tt ing can be done.

Wings of hope return

Donné glinster op loopplank... Donné Oosthuizen, ‘n belowende jong model van die Hoërskool Merensky, is steeds besig om opgang te maak in die baie mededingende modelwêreld. Sy is ‘n lid van die Amoné Model-skool wat modelafrigtingklasse by Merensky aanbied. Donné het aan die “Teen Miss RSA”-kompetisie deelgeneem, en is as eerste prinses uit twaalf deelnemers in die ouderdomsgroep 14-15 jaar gekroon. Hier is sy (regs) saam met die wenner en die tweede prinses.

Die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit sê deur hul woord-voerder mense word “beboet” as hulle nie 10% water op hul maandelikse verbruik spaar nie, maar hy kan nie sê hoe dit gedoen en bereken word nie.

Die woodvoerder, mnr Neville Ndlala, sê dit word duidelik op verbruikers se waterrekenings aangedui as hulle die beperkings oorskry, en dan word ‘n hoër tarief gehef. Hy kon egter nie verduidelik hoe dit gedoen word nie en het beloof om uit te vind en vir ons te laat weet — wat hy (weer) nie gedoen het nie. Hy is al berug daarvoor dat hy beloof om navrae van die media op te volg en dan doen hy dit nie. Die Bulletin wag sedert 9 Julie vanjaar vir antwoorde op navrae wat ons aan hom deurgegee het en waarop hy ontvangs erken het. Meer as drie maande later het ons steds nie van hom gehoor nie!

Intussen raak die waternood in die Laeveld by die dag erger. AgriLetaba se boere het sover vanjaar hul deel ge-doen om die vlak van die Tzaneen-dam stadiger te laat sak, deur vrywillig in te stem om net 50% van hul wa-terkwotas te gebruik, al was die departement van water

en sanitasie (DWS) se bepaling 65%.Die waterbeperkings raak ook huishoudelike gebruik-

ers, wat tien persent minder water volgens die DWS moet gebruik. Hoe die beheer van dié gebruikers toege-pas word, is egter ‘n raaisel; of ‘n geheim.

Die DWS se direkteur-generaal, me Margaret-Ann Diedericks, het op 2 September in die Staatskoerant ken-nis gegee dat sewe damme in Limpopo ingesluit is by waterbeperkings weens gebrekkige reënval in die ge-bied. Hulle is Mutshedzi, Nzhelele, Nwanedzi, Middel Letaba, Nsami, Modjadji en Tzaneen.

Dié week se watervlak in die Tzaneen-dam staan op 55,9% teenoor 86,6% vir dieselfde tyd verlede jaar. Die syfer word egter deur die waterverbruikersvereniging bevraagteken. Die Ebenezer-dam is 83,3% vol teenoor verlede jaar se 97,7%.

Mnr Pieter Vorster, die voorsitt er van AgriLetaba, sê die meeste boere is besorg oor die reën wat wegbly. Plaas-damme is op lae vlakke en sommiges is reeds leeg, ter-wyl boorgatvlakke ook baie gedaal het.

Bluf die GTM ons oor water?

Mopani District Municipality has requested intervention from the de-partment of water and sanitation to assist with the emergency funding to address water shortages at the Relela Cluster in Greater Tzaneen.

The MDM requires about R70 million to address the severe water shortages in the area, where about 90 000 residents from 35 villages are faced with alarming water shortages. This is as a result of the Thapane

Dam, the main source of water in the area, having dried up.

The required amount of money is meant for amongst other things, the rehabilitation of boreholes, con-struction of additional boreholes, construction of additional storage, the construction of pipelines and general repairs of surface water in-frastructure as an intervention to the continuing problem.

Currently, the MDM is supplying

water to the area through a limit-ed number of boreholes and water tankers. “The MDM assure commu-nity members that it will continue to spare no eff ort in ensuring that they have access to water while awaiting the much needed rains in the area,” said Mr Neil Shikwambana, the MDM’s spokesperson.

He also appealed to residents to use the litt le available water sparingly, so as to avoid further challenges.

Vir die afgelope vyf jaar het hulle die Letsitele KersKuierMark gereël, ten bate van dié fonds, maar vanjaar is besluit om ‘n spoggerige byeenkoms aan te bied... ’n vyfgang-aandete met ‘n gaskunstenaar en ‘n ontspanne atmosfeer. Hulle beloof ‘n heerlike aand op die oewer van die Letaba-rivier, om “ons en ons geliefdes se lewens te vier” en “om te

erken dat ons bevoorreg is” en “om terug te gee“ tot voordeel van mense wat terminaal siek en sterwend is. Al die wins van die ete in gaan aan die Engelfonds en aan die Tzaneen Care Group. Die vrywilligers van die Tzaneen Care Group is besig om ‘n Sorgsentrum in Tzaneen te vestig, waar kanker- en ander terminaal siek pasiënte versorg kan word. Tans doen ‘n paar vrywilligers reeds tot 65 tuisbesoeke per week, aan pasiënte in die Letaba-gebied... op hul eie reiskoste en met hul private motors — en die mediese voor-rade wat benodig word, is afhanklik van skenking-geld. Die tema vir die ete is “Celebrate life for charity”. Tafels word verkoop teen R5 000/tafel of R500/persoon.

• Daar is ‘n hele verskeidenheid “geheime” rondom die ver-nietiging van die laaste oorblyfsels van Tzaneen se vleige-

bied. Daar is die geheim om die klaagster wat toe ewe skielik met stomheid geslaan is. Die mense hoor daar moet begrip wees vir haar, want wie se brood ‘n mens eet, dié se woord ‘n mens spreek. Dan is daar die geheim van die grondtransaksie. Is die koper ‘n rakmaatskappy en indien wel, hoekom? En as dit nie ‘n rakmaat-skappy is nie, hoekom in elk geval ‘n onbekende entiteit en nie die gewone een nie? En wat is die heilige vriend se rol deesdae? Want ‘n rol speel hy... sy naam duik te veel op om te dink hy het van die toneel verdwyn. Die dinge begin so een na die ander uit-dop en dalk kom daar nog groot vrae wat vir sommige mense erg lastig gaan wees...• Dis maar sleg as mens so staat maak op die versekering wat sal betaal en dan weier hulle om te betaal. Wat nog slegter is, is as mens niks daaraan kan doen nie, omdat jy nalatig was. Nou om daardie krediteure kalm te kry — en so te hou. Dit sal natuurlik help as ‘n paar huise verkoop word... • Die dapper manne wat so met en by die torings lol, moet versig-tig wees. Iemand is kwaad vir die sabotasie en is besig om gevaar-like planne te beraam. Die ou spulletjie kan in iemand se gesig ontplof en dit gaan meer as net spreekwoordelik wees...• Dit voorspel niks goed nie as ’n man se hoofk antoor begin navraag doen oor al die borgskappe wat so in een rigting gaan...

Die water-krisisAs dit nie so ‘n ernstige saak was vir lewe op die aarde nie, sou mens kon sê al die waarskuwings oor waterbronne en drei-gende oorloë oor water en mense wat gaan sterf omdat hulle nie toegang tot water gaan hê nie, raak afgesaag.

Maar dit is inderdaad ‘n kritiek dring-ende saak, waaraan die owerhede ‘n baie hoër prioriteit sal moet toeken.

Derduisende mense in die omgewing van Modjadi sit reeds sonder water. Die Mopani Distriksmunisipaliteit, wat vir die lewering van water aan die hele distrik verantwoordelik is, sê so ewe ongeërg — of is dit arrogant? — die sen-trale regering sal R70 miljoen beskikbaar moet stel om die krisis te besweer.

Terselfdertyd word die “verdwyning” van R33 miljoen bevraagteken, terwyl daar sprake is van sowat R200 miljoen wat vir watervoorsiening bedoel was, wat ook nie in die MDM se beursie is nie!

Die GTM se woordvoerder, wat hom gereeld nie aan medianavrae steur nie en graag vals beloft es maak, kan ook nie vir ons sê hoe hulle die opdrag van die sentrale regering oor waterbesparing be-stuur en reguleer nie. Wat wag op ons?

Keynan Fox van die Laerskool Tzaneen is as die wen-ner aangewys in die ATKV se landwye redenaarskom-petisie in die groep waarin hy deelgeneem het. Hy het ook die prys ontvang vir die beste taalgebruiker. Lees

verder hieroor op bladsy 10.

In Luke’s gospel we are told of the cost of being a disciple. It seems rather daunting, but true. It states clearly: “And any-one who does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be my dis-ciple”.

We all have some sort of cross to bear in life and oft en we fi nd it extremely hard to bear. Yet oft en we forget how close Christ is to us and how we can rely on fellow Christians for support.

We all need to join a small group of like-minded Chris-tians to gain this support, all it costs us is some time, time to get together and discuss things that bother us.

Some people fail to go to church because for some or oth-er reason they are not gett ing something out of it. In a small group of dedicated Christians, one can oft en fi nd answers to questions. These groups meet at regular intervals but some-times we fail to be dedicated enough, using excuses not to meet for various reasons.

With the pressure of school-ing today, we oft en fi nd we have litt le time for ourselves and therefore, we seem to feel we need also to take a break from study.

Now Jesus knows how busy

we can g e t and He k n o w s each and everyone’s need for relaxation. He does not deny us this, but what happens if we make this an excuse to take a break every time there is a school holiday. It seems to me that there can be an impression that “God can wait until we have time”.

We as faithful servants of Christ should be able to see the impor-tance of being dedicated to Him. To study His word, to question the scriptures, so as to formulate a true meaning of them.

I oft en question my dedica-tion, and worry that if I am a leader of a group I have enough information to share, but here comes the crux of the matt er, how can I know if I do not have the support of fellow Chris-tians in this group. I too can glean information from others that might give me a bett er in-sight or defi nition of my faith.

I encourage all Christians to join a small group and fi nd the necessary support from others that we so desperately need to face the challenges of today. In this sinful world we need all the support we can get.

Blessings.

Mr David Malatjie (40) from Lwandlamuni at Nwamitwa has beauti� ed the Kremetart Padstal along the R71 to Phalaborwa with his works of art. He dis-plays his wooden tables and various crafted sculptures outside the Padstal which serves as a tourist attraction. He makes everything himself and enjoys the help of the Kremetart Padstal owner in allowing him to use the premises. The tables are made from Muthuma wood. Malatjie crafts sculptures for a living. He has been crafting whimsical sculptures for the past twelve years and he even crafted sculptures of people playing soccer; hoping to sell them during the 2010 soccer world cup, but the tourists didn’t really visit Tzaneen in any big numbers. He said although his business is still small, he dreams of running a big business with which he could generate enough income to enable him to create jobs for local unemployed young people.

Beleidsonsekerheid kos die SA ekono-mie reeds miljarde rande, want geen belegger sal geld waag waar die reëls nie vasgelê is nie. Dit geld veral in ‘n klimaat waar daar gereeld met onteien-ing sonder vergoeding en met nasionalisering gedreig word.

Landbou gaan veral swaar gebuk onder beleidonsekerheid op vele terreine. Die heropening van grondeise te midde van ‘n rampspoedige gebrek aan kapasiteit en begrotings in ‘n departement wat nog nie een van sy sperdatums of doelwitt e oor die afgelope 21 jaar kon nakom nie, veroorsaak dat boere self huiwer om in hul eie plase te belê, met noodlott ige gevolge vir landelike werkskepping en groei.

“Die ANC se beleidsbesluite oor die toe-passing van die 50/50-beginsel waarvolgens grondeienaars die helft e van hul plase aan hul werkers moet oordra, druis in teen alle ekonomiese sin en kan net tot verdere on-

sekerheid aanleiding gee. Dit skep onbillike verwagtinge by werkers, en werk onstabiliteit en onveiligheid op die plat-teland in die hand,” het mnr Leon Borcherds, die president van AgriLimpopo, in reaksie op die ANC se aankondiging gesê.

“Sedert minister Gugile Nk-winti die gedagte in 2013 die eerste keer geopper het, was hy ondubbelsinnig in sy voorneme dat grondeienaars nie vir die helft e van hul balansstaat wat hulle moet afgee, vergoed sal word nie” het hy bygevoeg.

Inmiddels sê Dr Theo de Jager, die voorsitt er van AgriLimpopo se Landbou-ontwikkeling-komitee, “die nuut aanvaarde beleid is teenstrydig met die versekering wat mnr Gwede Mantashe, die sekretaris-gene- raal van die ANC, in April 2014 aan ‘n groep van SA se grootste produsente gegee het — naam-lik dat die 50/50-beginsel nie ANC-beleid is nie en dat die ANC ernstig genoeg oor lande-like ontwikkeling, werkskep-ping op plase en beleggersver-troue in landbou is, om nie aan

die soort druk toe te gee nie”.

“ A g r i - L i m -popo onderste-un aktief die Na-

sionale Ontwikkelingsplan se model waarvolgens boere in vennoot-skappe met werkers en ander grondhervorming-begunstigdes tree, sonder dat

markwaarde- vergoeding prysgegee word. Limpopo-boere is gereed om die plan wyd te implementeer,” het De Jager bygevoeg, “maar hierdie aankondiging kan verreikende implikasies vir ons lede se geesdrif inhou.”

AgriLimpopo het in Februarie vanjaar met makro-boere, Afasa en verskeie landbou-on-dernemings ooreengekom om die plan, wat binne die beleidsraamwerk van AgriSA val, met praktiese projekte te ondersteun.

AgriLimpopo sal die aankondiging van die ANC en die gevolge daarvan op sy lede by sy komende algemene raadsvergade- ring in November indringend bespreek, het Borcherds bevestig.

Despite three operations aft er a car accident in 2007, Ms Claudia Smith (67) runs her own very successful orchid business out-side Tzaneen. Smith was born in Mashaba in Zimbabwe and came to South Africa as a child with her mother when her parents di-vorced. She went to a Musina dual medium school and then switched to an Afrikaans school in the town. She completed high school at Merensky in Tzaneen.

Smith’s fi rst job was with the law fi rm Joubert and May in Tzaneen. Later she became only one of three women to be employed as a pass-port control offi cer at the now Ol-iver Tambo airport outside Johan-nesburg. From there she moved to the typing pool at Iscor in Pretoria and on merit, moved on to the company’s chemical laboratory.

She married in 1974. Her hus-band, Herman, a past pupil at

Merensky, had never forgott en her since their days at school. He’s an avocado farm-er outside Tzaneen. They have two children. The daughter is a medi-cal doctor in Boshof in the Free State and the son, Her-man jnr, farms avo-cados in Georg-es Valley.

H e r m a n jnr initially joined the family

farm but had always been inter-ested in orchids. This resulted in the Smith family buying an entire cymbidium stock from a Witbank

widow. Her late husband had been a cymbidium expert.

The Smiths hired an inter-link truck to transport the thousands of cymbid-iums.

Herman jnr married in 2004 and Smith took over the business, now known as Smith Orchids. Ms Anne-Marie Brooke from

H a e n e r t s b u r g and a member

of the Ma-goebaskloof Spring

Fair committ ee contacted her in 2010 to display and sell her or-chids at the annu-al fair.

She took up the challenge, found a tent and had her fi rst show at the Magoebaskloof Hotel. Three months later Brooke appointed Smith for the show an-nually. This is the only show Smith does away from home, where she has her own stunning private exhi-bition centre. Smith has added oth-er orchid species to the cymbidiums and now has more than 120 species.

She experimented with orchids on mounts. Mounted orchids need

moisture and humidity to mimic the forest. As most orchids are epiphytes, they’re open rooted

and grow on trees. Orchids don’t thrive on all hard woods but have a preference for avocado wood. Smith only puts orchids in pots

to sell them as they’re prone to root rot and overwatering.

Smith is no stranger to media

exposure and was entered for a Sanlam entrepreneur competition. Although she didn’t win an award, the exposure opened doors.

Since holding orchid shows at the Spring Fair, Smith has bought two trailers to help with the trans-port and two tents at a cost of R12 000 each. She has a diff erent theme every year. This year it was logs. Last year it was all the ladders used for picking avocados. The previous year it was arches, with all the dark colours forming “The Gupta Arch.”

Together with her stalwart help-ers, the Rev Dewald Vermaak from Laeveld DR Church in Modjadjis- kloof, her husband and her son, has a successful show every year.

A staggering amount of R33 million has “vanished” from the Mopani District Mu-nicipality’s bank account. One of the DA’s councillors in the Mopani District Munici-pality, Mr Brown Mashele, fi led a motion on Tuesday that at the next sitt ing of the MDM a debate should be held to discuss R33 million unaccounted for, dragging back to 2012.

Mashele said according to the Municipal Public Accounts Committ ee’s operational report for the fi rst quarter of the 2015/2016 fi nancial year released last month, the money has vanished without any explanation.

“It is neither unauthorised expenditure, nor wasteful expenditure, nor returned to the Treasury — it is simply gone!”

The committ ee as well as the Auditor Gen-eral raised the matt er and demanded an in-vestigation but that has never materialised, said Mashele. He added that the committ ee requested the accounting offi cer on numer-ous occasions to submit documents and a re-port pertaining to the money but such report has to date never been submitt ed.

“This falls into a greater issue of Mopani simply breaking rules and the law as it sees fi t. Important Council resolutions from 2012 to date have never been implemented. Exam-ples of such resolutions include:

•The establishment of a municipal plan-ning tribunal to assist the municipality to complete all the outstanding MIG projects;

•An update on the Moshupat-sela Farm at Broederstroomdrift

outside Tzaneen, bought by the MDM for R2,9 million from the Land Bank in 2007, to empow-er young people’s agricultural cooperatives. The farm has been abandoned and is produc-ing only weeds;

•The recruitment of MPAC support staff to probe fi nancial irregularities.”

Mashele also said “failure to implement council resolutions is a clear indication that the political leadership is neglecting the residents of Mopani and is only focused on self-enriching”.

He concluded by saying that heads must roll, since R33million is an extraordinary amount to just disappear.

R33m missing from MDM A much respected and loved member of the Haenertsburg Police, Sgt Modiba Klaas Ramokgopa (46) was killed in a car accident on Saturday. He was due to be promoted to warrant offi cer soon. The late Ramokgopa was on his way from Polokwane on the Lebowakgomo road when an interlink, in front of him, turned. He drove straight into the truck and was killed instantly. He leaves a wife and three young children. A memorial service was held at his home at Mank-weng Unit C on Tursday and the funeral will be held at the same address tomor-row at 18:00.

Dear Protectors of our community

The owner of a swimming pool renovations company was ar-rested in Tzaneen this past week aft er he allegedly defrauded many locals of money paid for his services.

The man, Robert O’ Neil, is the owner of Pool Coatings and Renovations and is for-merly from Gauteng. He was taken into custody aft er one couple he tried to con, report-ed the matt er to the police.

Mr Gerhard “Smirre” Smit and his partner, Sanet Op-perman, had employed O’ Neil to give their swimming pool a revamp. They were

quoted R2 500 for the job and requested to transfer R2 000 up-front so that he could buy the required materials for the pro-ject. He would buy the materials in Gauteng. “While he was in Johannesburg he gave us a call and said he had found a good price on a chlorinator and requested a payment of R850 to pur-chase it. We made the payment and two days later he phoned to say that the seller of the chlorinator was no longer interested in selling,” explained Opperman. “When he came to start the job on a Friday aft ernoon, he only installed a new swimming pool light and said he was quickly going off site to fetch the rest of the material we paid him for such as sealant and the chlorinator. He never returned.”

Smit and Opperman tried in vain to contact O’Neil in the days that followed but were met with unanswered phone calls and no replies to messages. They then contacted his wife who works

as a clerk at the SAPS. “We gave him the ultimatum to return the money or we will report him to the po-lice and lay a charge against him,” Opper-man said. “When he still didn’t reply, we took the matt er further which subsequently led to his arrest.”

Smit posted the in-cident over social media which led to a number of other people in the Tzaneen community coming forward and claim-ing that they too had been done in. Col James Espach, com-mander of the de-tectives in Tzaneen, confi rmed charges of crimen injuria, theft under false pretenc-es and malicious damage to property against O’Neil. He also has a pending fraud case for pur-chasing a vehicle with a false cheque. He ap-peared in the Tzaneen Magistrate’s court on Wednesday and the case was remanded.

Swaar yster en die landbou loop hand aan hand in talle opsigte, soos hulle van mekaar afh anklik is. Een so ‘n opsig het onlangs his-tories in die Laeveld na vore gekom.

Op die administratiewe werf van Mahela Boerdery in Letsitele het ‘n imposante klein geboutjie voor die groot pakhuis stelling ingeneem, netjies afgerond met gordyne en glasdeure. Dis die staanplek van die uitge-breide sitrusprodusente se oorspronklike hart uit toenterjare, toe patriarg Ben Vorster sy eerste lemoenboorde langs die Groot Le-tabarivier natgelei het.

Dis ‘n Ruston Nr 6, ‘n eensilinder oop kruk-as waterverkoelde dieselenjin met die krag

van 55 perde, wat die boorde van water moes voorsien. Die en-jin was een van twee wat in die dertiger-jare van die vorige eeu uit Lincoln in Engeland deur Vorster ingevoer is. Die maatskappy Ruston & Hornsby Ltd bestaan vandag nog en is nou deel van die Duitse Siemens-groep.

Die pompenjin is die afge-lope twee maande eiehandig deur mnr Frans Meintjes van Gravelott e Ingenieurswerke uit drie soortgelykes gerestoureer, nadat twee daarvan vir jare

onder die mod-der van die Le-tabarivier in on-bruik gelê het.

Meintjes sê toe mnr Ed-ward Vorster

hom twee jaar gelede

gevra het om een uit die twee te her-

bou, was dit ‘n baie groot opdrag. “Dit was amper

soos om ‘n vierperdewa Hemel toe te vat.”Hy moes spesiale toerusting aanskaf om die

groot menere mee uitmekaar te haal. Deur sakekennisse het hy ook ‘n derde een gekry, waarvan onderdele gebruik kon word.

Meintjes sê daar is nie juis van dié Rustons in die land oor nie. Die meeste is met groot hamers stukkend geslaan en vir skrootyster verkoop. Hy weet van een wat by Dee-side in ‘n pakhuis toegesluit staan.

Mnr Pieter Vorster van Mahela Boer-dery sê die onthul-ling van die Ruston sal om 11:00 op 27 Oktober met die nodige plegtigheid geskied.

The newly elected prefects of Mer-ensky High School’s hostels were in high spirits when they started off with a team building exercise. An “Amazing Race” took them across the

school grounds, urging teams to work together to complete various fun challenges. Then followed a formal training session lead by hostel staff , to dis-cuss expectations and plans for their term of of-

fi ce. A braai at the dam ended the day.The following morning a motiva-

tional session set the tone for the rest of the days’ activities. Parents of the members arrived to share in the in-

auguration ceremony and enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast in the hos-tel dining hall. Jason Rodrigues and Joane Fernandes (the head prefects for 2014/15) handed the reigns over to newly elected head prefects, Jo-seph Raspel and Altacia Gubitz.

In the past, a combined inaugu-ration function was held for both school and hostel leaders but, as the Merensky Hostel has its own unique traditions, a new tradition was start-ed with separate functions. As part of the ceremony, the new group of hostel prefects pledged their support and loyalty to the staff , pupils and fel-low inmates of the Merensky Hostels.

Manhunt for stock theft suspectsMembers of the SAPS Stock Theft Unit in the Tzaneen Cluster have launched a big man-hunt for two stock theft suspects. It is alleged that Thato Maphosho (33) and his accomplic-

es disappeared from a crime scene on 21 August at about 03:00, when they

were caught transporting the meat of fourteen heads of catt le which

were stolen in and around Lorraine in the Sekororo area.

“The three suspects slaughtered catt le in a grazing camp and loaded them into three vehicles, but before they got to the R36 (Tzaneen-Lydenburg), they were stopped by Police offi cers who were on patrol. The suspects got out of their vehicles and dis-

appeared into the bushes”, said SAPS spokesperson Lt Col Moat-she Ngoepe. During the initial search, one suspect was arrested but the oth-er two, including Thato Mapho-sho (photo herewith), are still at large. The arrested suspect is still in custody with no bail. Thato Maphosho and Ronny Mazhove are requested to report to the Maake SAPS Stock Theft Unit in

Lenyenye, to see D/WO Jan Jim Mbhalati. They may be able to assist the Police with their investigation.Anyone who knows the whereabouts of the sus-pects or who come across them should contact the nearest Police. Mbhalati can be contacted on 015 355 8306 or 073 886 2763 or 060 584 9171.

Van ontspan is daar diénaweek geen sprake

Aptekers en ander verskaff ers van kalmeermiddels sal dié naweek bontstaan voordat die halfeindwedstryde in die Wêreld-beker-rugbytoernooi op televisie uitgesaai word.

Veral verskaff ers wat ook iets aanbied waarmee beskadigde senuwees gedokter kan word.

Suid-Afrika en Nieu-Seeland speel Saterdag teen Wallis en Frankryk in kragmetings wat in triomf én trane gaan eindig. En Sondag sal die emosies ewe hoog loop wanneer Australië teen Skotland en Ierland teen Argentinië speel.

Boonop word die halfeindwedstryde in die Curriebekerreeks ook regstreeks uitgesaai. En die moontlikheid is sterk dat die derde eendaagse krieketwedstryd tussen Suid-Afrika en Indië op nóg ʼn senutergende einde gaan uitloop.

Elandri Janse van Rens-burg van die Laerskool Tzaneen is in Limpopo se o.13-meisieskrieket-span opgeneem. Wat dit des te meer ‘n merkwaardige presta-sie maak is dat Elandri eintlik nog o.10 is!

“So, dit is dan dit,” sê GertGrensvegter toe die eindfl uitjie verlede Sondagaand blaas na die Japan-VSA wedstryd. “Van hier af vorentoe kyk ek en KoosKakie alleen na die uitspeelrondes. Oubal, jy en ArthurIn-gelsman sal buite op die stoep moet sit en julleself vermaak tydens die rakbie.”

“Mêdnis, ebsouliet mêdnis,” sê ou AI stom van verbasing, “wat hêf whie dan rong toe bie trietet laaik dêt? End biesaaids dis ies Oebil’s haus, djoe kaant kiek hiem aut, hie ies de houst!”

“Nee, julle het niks verkeerd gedoen nie,” sê GG, “dis maar hoe dinge werk met die

WB. Engeland is ook die gasheer daar oorkant, maar hulle is saam met nog elf ander spanne uit-geskop. Dis ‘n bleddie skande!”‘Tja, Oubal dink hy stem saam met

GG, nie oor hy Oubal uit sy eie huis wil skop nie, maar oor hoe die twaalf

spanne behandel word wat nie gekwali-fi seer het vir die uitspeelrondes nie. Dis soos om een groot partytjie te reël en dan halfpad deur die feesvierings vir meer as die helft e van die gaste, asook die gasheer, te sê dit was lekker om hulle daar te hê, hulle kan nou maar loop.

Oubal dink hierdie was die eerste WB waar tot die heel swakste span tot ‘n mate kom-peterend was en hulle self laat geld het. En dit was pret om hulle dop te hou, nie net vir Oubal en sy maters nie, maar ook vir die derduisende toeskouers wat by wedstryde van selfs die mindere spanne opgedaag het.

So was Georgië se oorwinning van 17-16 oor Namibië byvoorbeeld een van die lekkerste wedstryde om te kyk - epies, al was die ver-nuf nie altyd van die beste nie.

Nou sit ons egter met ‘n situasie waar ons gewoond geraak het aan ‘n feesmaal wat sommer in die week voortgesit is, maar skie-lik word ons ‘n hongerdiëet gevoer wat vir die volgende drie weke net oor naweke gaan plaasvind. Wat dink WêreldRakbie moet ons nou in dié ledige tye met onsself aanvang?

‘Tja, Oubal dink daar is ‘n beter manier van dinge doen. As WR ‘n uitspeelwedstryd om die 3de en 4de plek kan laat plaasvind op die laaste naweek, hoekom nie al die spanne wat deelgeneem het laat aanbly om oor die vol-gende drie weke uit te speel tot by die 19de en 20ste plekke nie? Daar is oorgenoeg tyd in die weke wat voorlê vir nog ‘n paar smulhappies!

Oubal dink WR sal sê die langer verblyf van die spanne wat uitval gaan net die koste

aan die reël van die toernooi opjaag, maar hy is oortuig hulle slaan die bal mis. Toe-skouersgetalle tot dusver het bewys dat daar genoeg Ouballe en ander connoiseurs is wat sal betaal om ‘n Engeland teen Japan, ‘n Fidji teen Samoa of selfs ‘n Namibië teen Uruguay te sien speel. Net die inkomste uit TV-regte alleen sal genoeg wees om die bykomende koste te dek.

Maar bo en behalwe dít, WR sal ‘n baie sterk sein uitstuur dat rakbie nie net om die groot kanonne gaan nie, maar dat elke spe-lende land gewaardeer word.

‘n Man kan droom en wens, kan hy nie?

Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, hu-mor, ensovoorts, van Oubal is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die

Genevieve en Theo van der Merwe en Anri Janse van Rensburg, al drie leerlinge in die Hoërskool Merensky, het die afgelope skool-vakansie aan die nasionale kampioenskappe vir Western Mounted Games deelgeneem.

Genevieve en haar perd, Makadesh Zahra, het in die skole-afdeling (Sanesa) op Vlak 1 deelgeneem en algeheel derde geëindig. In die ope-afdeling word sy egter opgeskuif na vlak 2 en eindig algeheel 45ste.

Theo en sy perd, Vierkleur Nola, het in die

skole-afdeling se Vlak 2 deelgeneem en het sestiende algeheel gekom. In die ope afde-ling se Vlak 2 was hy 36ste algeheel. Anri en haar perd, Koedoe, is die eerste Lim-popo-skole Vlak 7-ruiter en ope afdeling Vlak 3-ruiter wat aan die kampioenskappe deelgeneem het. In die skole-afdeling het sy elfde en in die ope-afdeling 39ste geëin-dig. Die kompetisie op hierdie vlak is uiters mededingend, aangesien dit die topvlak vir skoleruiters is.

Ezri nou SA kampioenEzri Hugo, ‘n gr 9-leerling van die Hoërskool Me-rensky, is die nuwe SA Vlak 6-gimnastiekkam-pioen in die kategorie “Rhythmic Freedance”.

Die kampioenskappe is verlede week in Gauteng gehou, waar meer as twee duisend gimnaste van regoor Suid-Afrika en Na-mibië mekaar die stryd aange-sê het. Twee van Merensky se leerlinge, Ezri Hugo en Chrisjan Rebel, het Limpopo verteenwoordig en hulself baie goed van hul taak ge-kwyt.

Chrisjan het ‘n algeheel negende plek behaal in Vlak 5 in die kategorie Artis-tiese Seuns. Ezri het ook met een silwer en twee brons medaljes weggestap.
