Local lass survives jaws of death — tells all

Tamsin shows off some of her battle scars where the shark’s razor sharp teeth had cut into her forearms during the attack.

SHARK ATTACK Gedurende die Tweede Wêreldoor log het ’n man en sy seun tjie een aand stadig in ’n straat van ‘n groot Amerikaanse stad gestap. In baie huise se vensters het ’n ster gehang, om aan te dui dat ’n seun uit daardie huis vir sy land veg.

Die seuntjie het vir sy pa gevra hoekom daar by party huise net een ster en by ander huise selfs vier sterre hang.

Die pa het aan die seuntjie verduidelik dat dit seuns is wat hul huise verlaat het om vir “ons te veg, sodat ons in vryheid kan lewe”. Die seuntjie het gees drif tig begin hande klap vir elke ster of sterre waar hulle ver bygeloop het; en as daar meer as een ster in ’n venster gehang het, het dit hom mateloos be ïn druk.

Hulle stap toe by ’n gaping tussen die huise verby en voor hulle is die donker gewelf van die verdonkerende aand lug. Hel der glinster die aandster teen die swart he mel . “Kyk, Pappa!” roep die seuntjie opgewonde uit. “Kyk, daar is ’n ster in God se venster. Hy het ook sy Seun gegee!”

Dít is die Kersverhaal: God het uit liefde vir ons sy Seun gegee. Dit is God se lief de vir ons, dat Hy sy Seun gegee het sodat ons ge red kan word en in vryheid kan lewe.

“Werk like liefde is dit:… die liefde wat Hy aan ons bewys het deur sy Seun te stuur as versoening vir ons sondes… En ons het gesien en ons is getuie daar van dat die Vader die Seun as Redder van die wêreld ge stuur het… En ons ken die liefde wat God vir ons het, en ons glo daarin” (1 Joh.4: 10,14,16).

Her family looked on in horror as Tamsin Scott of Tzaneen braved the jaws of death at a secluded beach in the Eastern Cape during the start of their December vacation. Her father,

well-known Mr Mark Scott, who was swimming nearby, rushed to save his daughter from the jaws of a huge Bull shark.

Mayor Mmetle’s Christmas message

Oubal praat oor die Annus Horribilis

’n Restaurant bo-op ’n hoë gebou het die interessante eienskap dat dit ’n volle sirkel roteer, terwyl die gaste hul maaltyd nuttig. Die gevolg is dat mens se uitsig voortdurend verander, ontvou in nuwe agtergronde wat dit inderdaad bevrydend maar ook frustrerend maak. Bevrydend, omdat daar altyd op die agtergrond beelde is wat die konteks voortdurend vernuwe, jou na nuwe plekke neem. Frustrerend, want mens se aandag word verdeel tussen die kos op jou bord, die gaste om jou tafel en die voortdurend veranderende konteks.

Dis ’n beeld van die onvermydelike lewens-ervaring van die voortdurende sirkelgang van verandering terwyl alles dieselfde bly. Of net miskien is dit andersom, dat alles dieselfde bly,

ondanks die voortdurende verandering. Ons staan verwonderd voor die wiegie en klaend by die oop graf, verwonderd oor die nuwe lewe en verwese oor die lewe wat weggebêre word onder grond of in ’n muur. Maar, toemaar: Môre huil ’n nuwe kind, blaas ’n ander sy asem uit! En so gaan die sirkel stilweg aan. Sonder breuk en sonder oorgang skuifel dit

voort asof in totale vergetelheid van ons wat toekyk.Die lewe sirkel voort en tonele ontglip ons kyk.

Want oog en mond moet aandag gee aan kos op ons bord, ore aan tafelgenoot wat iets wil kwyt, hand hou die glas wat ’n kelner wat oor ons leun, hervul. Wan-neer ons dan opkyk het die landskap verander; soms onverwags mooi soos in die diep-rooi van pinotage in die bol van ’n glas, soms onverwags treurig soos die bleek weerkaatsende water in die hol pilaartjie van glas. Ons moet aanpas by die nuwe konteks, soms met gelate aanvaarding soos in die oë van die garnaal op ons bord, soms met uitdaging soos met die 500 gram kruisskyf onder die pepersous.

“Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset. Swiftly flow the days. Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers, blos-soming even as we gaze. Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset. Swiftly fly the years. One season following another, laden with happiness and tears”, sing die koor in “Fiddler on the roof” en voltooi daarmee die sirkelgang van die draaiende restaurant, en ek vra: “Is dit al wat daar is?”

Kersfees vertel van die aankoms van die Einde van die eindelose sirkel van bestaan van sonop en sononder, Hy kom in ’n Krip, daardie nag toe die wagters, ook die van die hemelruim, voor die Lei-Ster se stal tot stilstand gekom het. So dertig wat jaar later toe die son struikel en verdoof word deur die Kruis midde-in die sirkel van kykers, wat aan sonop en sononder onderworpe is, toe sien hulle die Laaste sononder en buig onder die las van die duister wat om hul skouers vou, wagtend vir die sirkel om van vooraf te begin.

Maar toe, op die stil Sondagmôre, breek die nuwe Big Bang saggies aan en sprei sy Lig oor die wêreld, al verder en verder tot hier by ons. ’n Nuwe sonop breek aan wat deur geen sononder ooit weer vervang kan word nie. Die Krip neurie: “Welkom, o stille nag van vrede, onder die suiderkruis!”, die Kruis verklaar kras” “Is dit, is Dít my koning!” die oopgerolde graf jubel dit uit: “Hy is nie híér nie — Hy het opgestaan!”

Nou het ons hierdie drie: Krip en Kruis en Credo, en die Credo nooi: “Kom alle getroues, vrolik en vol vreugde, o, kom in die Gees en leef vanuit die nuwe Sonop in die krip!” Geseënde Christusfees aan almal.

Vlieg is terug van sy sending/sendingwerk in die Baai van die Plettenberg, maar sy ver-slag daaroor sal ongelukkig moet oorstaan tot volgende jaar; aangesien daar ‘n dring-ender saak is wat iets uitgesteek het, en dit was definitief nie kop nie!

VLIEG’S AUTHORITY SOMEWHEREChief MamatlepaThe current invader of Zwartkoppies farm Mooketsi

Dear Sir/MadamThe above mentioned Vlieg’s authority here by informing you that it is now a time to come to your senses. Vlieg emphasize that his intention is not to stop dreaming pro-cess. He only want you to use your head and realize that government has done noth-ing for you. As is the case in Mpumalanga, your chiefs and members of your tribal councils are being used as toys by govern-ment and it’s populistic opposition and you have, again, been blinded by empty promi-ses and propaganda ahead of forthcoming local elections.

Vlieg’s conditions are as follows should you like to use your heads

1. You will have to take care of yourself in water-electricity-monthly groceries and transportation. You have been brain or oth-er anatomical parts washed to believe that these things will just fall out of thin air, or

even thick air. You are being played in a very clever EFFort to win your votes.

2. It will be the duty of yourself to make sure that you and your chiefs are safe. By your action you are stimulating this pro-vince and country to be even poorer which means crime will only escalate. Not the po-lice or defence force will be able to keep you and your chiefs safe since they have already fallen apart and is probably the biggest crime syndicate in the country as it is.

The houses — Parliament and Union Buildings are and/or will be occupied by similar idiots as at present, until this coun-try cannot produce food for it’s people, un-til the Rand has depreciated so far that we have to convert to the US Dollar, until there is no water-electricity-monthly groceries and transportation to take care of.

Be also informed that this process will run until we have changed into our own little Zimbabwe and nothing is in good standing or capable to handle any situation, even in an improper way.

Vlieg still emphasize that he is doing this in a good and save way, he does not have any warriors and since our relation-ship with you is still in good standing. Speaking of warriors, Vlieg knows scare tactics, he often uses it on his maggots and pupa’s. It hardly ever works! And so does creating more racial tension and divide in a coun-

try that does not have anything to afford it.Today Vlieg is on the one wing glad that

Madiba is dead, that he did not have to experience what his so called people are doing to his legacy, and on the other wing sad that he is not here to have some sort of sanity prevail!

Hoping that the above is in order. And by the way, Mary Krismass!Yours trulyVlieg*En vir die res van julle andersdenkende anders-denkendes, Happy Vliegmis!

“I kept thinking that if it bites me in the abdomen they won’t be able to get me to the hospital before I bleed out.” These were the thoughts running through the mind of beautiful young Tamsin Scott (22) as she forced both her arms into the jaws of a Bull shark.

The incident occurred on Thursday morning last week. Mark and Tessa Scott are from Tzaneen (their farm is close to Letsitele) and were on a family holiday at their usual spot, Mpande Bay — a pristine beach getaway on the Wild Coast of Transkei — when their daughter Tamsin was attacked.

“It was such a beautiful, clear day out at the beach, the sun was shining and the water was just crystal clear. We all headed to the beach early that morning. My mom was walking along the beach and my dad went in deep to swim in the breakers, but I stayed in the shallow water. For some reason I just had a bad feeling that morning and so I was too scared to go in deeper,” explained Tam-sin from her hospital bed in the high care unit at Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg. She chuckled as she explained that she was in about waist deep, and “I’m a small girl so it was really shallow water.”

“I felt a bump against my side from behind me and

when I turned around I saw the shark com-ing straight at me. I started punching at it with all my might, but it just kept coming and so I knew this was a fight I was not going to win.”

The shark’s razor sharp teeth cut into her flesh severing tendons, damaging nerve end-ings and rendering her arms and hands use-less. “I couldn’t use my hands at all and so I tried to kick the shark all the while screaming at the top my lungs. My dad, who was swim-ming nearby, rushed over and positioned himself between me and the shark and started beating the animal with his fists until it let go of me and swam away. He grabbed me in his arms and started running out of the water to the beach.”

The safety of dry land was little comfort as Tamsin was losing a lot of blood and they needed to get her medical attention soon. “We

managed to get her to the cottage where we applied first aid and tourniquets to stop the bleeding before rushing her off to the nearest hospital in the rural Isilemela. The doctor who happened to be on duty that day was a for-mer classmate of our eldest daughter while in medical school, and she assisted us in stabilizing Tammy. In the meantime I arranged with our medical aid to have her moved to another hospital for surgery,” her father told us.

There were no helicopters available in the Eastern Cape and so an ambulance was sent from Umtata, which was then used to transport Tammy to Umtata airport from where she was flown to Lanceria and taken to Millpark to be placed in high care.

At the time of the telephonic interview with Bulletin, Tammy was being prepped for surgery to repair some of the tendons in her arms. She sounded upbeat and strong as she related her tale. When asked whether she would swim in the ocean again, she chuckled in reply, “I don’t think it will be soon, but perhaps some time in the future I’ll get back in again.”

Local lass survives shark attack

Another beauty queen from Nkowankowa... Miss Beauty in Christ is a beauty pageant that empowers young girls living in Limpopo. Many young girls really love pageants, but can’t enter because they’re not comfortable showing off their skin, or not feeling safe because of people who might behave badly in that environment. So it was decided to start a beauty pageant that will accommodate these girls. The owner of the rights for this pageant said, “We want to uplift, motivate and educate young girl’s, by giving them back hope and selfworth in themselves without any discrimination, in a safe family environment. We want to help them notice what the Lord has done upon their lives, and that their beautiful just the way God has created them. Mandisa Matsana (17) of Nkowankowa won this year’s competition. She is a pupil at Meridian College. Seen with her is 1st princess Tondi Maimela (in white dress) and 2nd princess Fikile Makhubele. Photo supplied

We would like to thank all our communities for having supported and co-operated with us as Greater Letaba Municipality council in discharging our

responsibilities, to ensure that our communities

receive services that they are entitled to, as guaranteed in the Constitution of the Republic of South

Africa, Act 108 of 1996, through limited resources

that our municipality have.

As we enter into festive season, wherein we will be reviving our family bond

and enjoying ourselves through interacting with

our friends, I urge all Greater Letaba Municipality citizens to

celebrate responsibly with love, humility and respect during this festive season. I also want to advice our community members to spend their money wisely during this festive season to ensure that you meet January 2016 financial obligations which include educational costs of our children.

Let’s obey and adhere to all the rules of the road. Don’t drink and drive, don’t drink and walk. By adhering to this will ensure that you arrive safely at home. You are further encouraged to remain at home and spend more times with our families and avoid travelling unnecessarily.

I would not be doing justice if I did not urge all citizens to use water sparingly

this festive season. With the national government having declared a national disaster on drought, we should ensure we use the available water responsibly. Let’s not water our gardens, Use a bucket to wash your car because every drop counts.

Crime has escalated drastically this festive. Criminals have already targeted women who have been saving their money through stockvel. Please ensure that as you share dividends of your money, you request the bank to transfer your monies into each member personal accounts. Let’s continue to adhere to tips that we receive from the police on how to handle and respond to crime. We should also take care of our children at all times.

2015 was a good year, God blessed us with many things, let us all be grateful for the blessings and continue to do good unto other people. Blessed is the hand that giveth. As we head into the New Year; we expect new and revived spirits, positive attitude towards life and the perseverance towards success. As the Mayor of Greater Letaba Municipality, I take this opportunity to wish all residents of the municipality and visitors a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We Love you all!

MESSAGEFestive Season

GREATER LETABA MUNICIPALITY

CLLR. MODJADJI G.H., MAYOR

I want to wish all the residents of the Greater Tzaneen Municipality and beyond a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year.

The festive season is a very special time. It’s a time for family and friends to get together and reflect on the year gone by and celebrate the New Year.

As we all join together with our loved ones this Christmas let us all take time out to think of those less fortunate than ourselves.

Christmas is also a time for giving and re-ceiving, a time for sharing and for caring for each other. It’s a time for reaching out the hand of friendship and reconciliation and to making sure all members of our community are included.

As the Greater Tzaneen Municipality we continue to be African town, a town of the fu-ture. We continue to strive for a society that is united, democratic, non-racial, non-sexist and prosperous.

We continue to build a town that is green, clean and safe.

Most of us will be spending Christmas with

our family and friends, rejoicing and making merry but let us remember those who have no family, those who have been abandoned by their friends or who are many miles from home.

They may well spend Christmas alone. The festive season holds little joy for them. Maybe we could all do just one thing to help bring a little happiness into their lives - in the true spirit of Christmas.

The festive season is a time to be looking forward to the year that is about to unfold - a time of hope and of anticipation.

Hope that we will have good health and that we will continue to enjoy the love of our family and friends.

If going away for the festive season, please take extra care on the roads. Take all the nec-essary precautions in terms of your money and assets.

On behalf of the Councillors and staff at the Greater Tzaneen Municipality, I wish you and your families all a safe, peaceful and joy-ful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The case against the three suspects accused of the murder of the farm manager of Silver Mist outside Haenertsburg, Ms Rina Lan-genhoven, has been remanded to next year. Meanwhile they are being transferred to a high security facility at Polokwane prison. The bail application wasn’t heard in the Hae-nertsburg Periodic Court on Tuesday as the Magistrate was absent. This has now been transferred to Polokwane as well.

ATM fraudster killed Following the death of a suspected ATM card fraudster Police have condemned an incident of mob justice on Tuesday, in which a man was beaten to death after he had allegedly tried to commit fraud at Lorraine Village in Sekororo. The deceased was identified as Ndofaya Sipho Mhlongo from Nwowankowa. “Community members, who were queuing to withdraw money from the ATM, apparently noticed his fraudulent activities and they caught him. They then severely beat him to death with various objects, including stones,” SAPS spokesperson Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe said. He added that those involved

in mob justice would be prosecuted.

Lengthy sentences for rapistA 27-year-old rapist was sentenced to two life imprison-ments, one fifteen year imprisonment and one ten year imprisonment by the Naphuno Regional Court.

The accused is alleged to have committed a series of rapes and a robbery around the Sekororo area in 2013,” said Police spokesperson Const Malesela Magoro.

The Mopani District Municipality (MDM) has appointed the erstwhile municipal manager of Makhudu-thamaga Local Municipality, Mr Magerule Sekonya, as its acting mu-nicipal manager.

Sekonya is seconded from the depart-ment of cooperative governanance, human settlements and traditional af-fairs, where he is currently the general manager responsible for traditional affairs.

The MDM’s council believes that his vast experience in local government and shrewd academic background will assist in taking the business of council forward. Among many aca-demic achievements, Sekonya boasts a

Masters in Public Administration from the University of Pretoria and a Mas-ters in Business Administration from the University of Limpopo.

Sekonya also has over fifteen years of experience in the public service, which include five years as a councillor and eight years as a municipal manager.

Sekonya replaces Mr Nare Ngoepe, (temporary seconded from the pro-vincial treasury) whose temporary ap-pointment term came to an end on 30 November.

Ngoepe was appointed following the suspension of the municipal manager, Mr Tim Maake. The disciplinary pro-cess in connection with Maake’s al-leged conduct is still underway.

Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, ensovoorts, van Oubal is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die eienaar en personeel van die koerant nie!

18 Desember 2015

“Dit sit darem so ‘n bietjie wind in ‘n jaar wat andersins maar ‘n anus horribalis was, “sê GertGrensvegter met ons spanpraatjie verlede Sondag, nadat die BlitsBokke die Kaap-stad 7’s-toernooi gewen het.

“Nou, nou, nou, djoef ghot iet rông,” probeer ArthurIngelsman hom korri-geer, “wat de kwien sed ien 1992 ies iet waas y ‘annoes horriebielis’, mienieng iet waas y bêd jeer.”

“Ek dink wat GG probeer sê,” sê KoosKakie, “is dat dit op sportgebied die jaar gatslag op gatslag op gatslag was, en die 7’s het darem hier op die einde so ‘n klein bietjie windgatgeit bygevoeg.”

‘Tja, terugskouend moet Oubal saamstem dit was nie ‘n goeie jaar nie. Sommer in Februarie al het onse Proteas hulself weereens gaan verwurg by nog ‘n Krieket-wêreldbeker. Dat daar na bewering onver-skoonbare politieke inmengery was met die samestelling van die span het dalk aan die gepeupel ‘n soort van verskoning gebied, maar dit verbloem nie die tekortkomings van ons span nie.

Laasgenoemde is duidelik uitgespel toe ons kort daarna in Bangladesh gaan skandes maak het, en is onlangs weer in Indië bevestig, al het ons vir twee toetse daar die verskoning gehad van substandaard

kolfblaaie. Die feit is dat ons tans nie veel meer as ‘n eenmanspan in AB de Villiers is nie, en Oubal het so ‘n ongemaklike gevoel dat die opkomende reeks teen Engeland dit nogeens gaan bevestig. Maar Oubal was al so een of twee keer in sy lewe verkeerd.

Rakbie het nie veel beter gevaar nie, be-halwe vir ‘n Leeu-ondersteuner wat nie ver-der kan kyk as ‘n afgewaterde Curriebeker nie. Ons nie-so-Superspanne het voortge-strompel van een debakel na ‘n volgende, met ‘n rits afrigters wat op hulle swaarde moes val of elders heen padgegee het. Dat groentjies soos Nollis Marais en Robbie Fleck volgende jaar aan die stuur van sake gaan staan, is stille getuienis van hoe ban-krot ons op afrigtersgebied is.

Dan praat Oubal nie eers oor die klugspul wat by die Kings aan die gang is en Saru (van alle mense!) nou die leisels oorgeneem het nie. Oubal wil ook nie weer deur die hele Heyneke- en Bokke-gemors strompel nie, en ook nie oor wat vir ons voorlê onder ‘n nuwe afrigter en spansamestellingveresistes

nie. Anders as mense wat Oubal ken wat reeds aangedui het dat hulle voortaan ander spanne of selfs sportsoorte gaan ondersteun, sal Oubal steeds lojaal bly, maar met opgehoue asem. As Oubal nie so min gepla was oor

sokker nie, sou hy ook nog kon uitwys dat die Bafana die jaar deur die magtige

Mauritanië afgeransel is, maar na Argen-tinië en veral Japan, kan Oubal hom nie eers daarin verlekker nie. Wat Oubal wel pla is dat beide ons mans- en vroue-hokkiespanne alles gedoen het wat van hulle verwag is om te kwalifiseer vir volgende jaar se Rio-spele, maar Sascoc ag hulle nie goed genoeg vir deelname nie. Dis ‘n groter skande as die afdanking van die Finansminister!

Maar die jaar was darem nie net ‘n horribale gat nie. Daarvoor moet ons ‘n onbesonge held bedank — Wayde van Niekerk, wat ‘n nuwe SA rekord in die 400 m opgestel het, die eerste atleet buite die VSA wat die item in vinniger as 44s kon aflê, en wêreldkampioen geword het in die 400 m in ‘n wedloop waar drie atlete vir die eerste keer onder 44s gehardloop het. Welgedaan, jong man!

‘Tja, dit is die jaar wat was. Oubal bedank almal wat saam gelag en gehuil het. Mag julle ‘n vreugdevolle Kersfees hê en ‘n nuwe jaar vol Wayde van Niekerks!“I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.” — Winston Churchill

“Annus Horribilis”

TV-kykers se Kerskous volkrieket, rugby en sokker

Kerstyd in die Suidelike Halfrond is kriekettyd, maar danksy televisie kan sportliefhebbers hulle dié naweek ook aan puik rugby verlustig.

Sewe wedstryde in die reeks om die Europese Kampioenebeker word regstreeks uitgesaai. Van die spelers wat moontlik in aksie sal wees, heet Van der Merwe, Vermeulen, Brits, Mostert en Habana.

Toetskrieket in NieuSeeland, waar die Kiwi’s teen Sri Lanka speel, en die Australiese T20reeks, waarin ŉ kêrel genaamd Ben Dwarshuis vir een van Sydney se spanne speel, sal ook goeie vermaak verskaf. (Dwarshuis is in Australië gebore.)

Sewe wedstryde in die SA Premiersokkerliga word ook dié naweek uitgesaai. En op Tweede Kersdag, wanneer die eerste kriekettoets tussen SuidAfrika en Engeland begin, is daar regstreekse dekking van elf Engelse Premierligawedstryde.

informele wed-stryde wat mense tot minstens einde Januarie volgende jaar sal besig hou. Dit is in die vorm van gesinsaande wat elke Vrydag aangebied word en soos dit aandui, die

hele gesin betrek. Mnr Ben Pretorius sê dit begin om 18:00 en kos R30 per deelnemer. Die spel sal tien koppe duur en behoort binne twee ure afgehandel te wees. Die prys sluit baangeld in, asook pap en sous, terwyl braaipakke te koop sal wees,

om die aand gesellig mee af te sluit. Die amptelike rolbalseisoen het al gesluit en die eerste groot byeenkoms is die Lietsjietoernooi aan die einde Januarie. Vir meer inligting oor die gesinsaande, skakel Pretorius by 073 609 7075.

Die hele gesin kan kom rol

Ons wens graag ons sportlui — oud en jonk, groot en klein, manlik en vroulik — ‘n prettige, ontspanne en loslit verposing toe; mag die nuwe jaar en sy sportseisoene goeie

resultate bring.
