Beware of lock ‘jammers’Lephalale and Mokopane have both seen several cases of theft out of motor vehicles using the remote control method of jamming car locks. Laptops and wallets were stolen out of two vehicles near Castle Corner in Mokopane in the last two weeks after owners insisted that they locked their cars. Another had money stolen from her car in Onverwacht in Lephalale.

Thieves have discovered a very success-ful method of breaking into cars without forced entry, it is called car remote jamming. According to a report in the City Press newspaper, it is an alarming fact that most insurance companies don’t pay out without proof of forced entry.

Remote jamming involves the blocking of car remotes using a household remote. Both car and household remotes operate at a 400 megahertz and criminals prevent the locking action of the car from being activated by pressing down on their remotes as the owners are about to lock their cars.

Vehicle owners should be alert and cautious to where you park your car. Be on the lookout for people who are wandering around and loitering. Do not rush away from your car without double checking that it is indeed locked. Wait for the ‘beep’ of the remote and check that all your doors are indeed locked.

Do not leave Ipads, cellphones, GPS devices, laptops or any other valuable items inside your car for all to see (lock it away in the boot).

Mayor calls for stadium to be renamed2

“It is very sad to loose a selfless leader like Madimetja Piet Pale who stood and campaigned against corruption in the municipality,” Mogalakwena Mayor, Malose Mabuela told mourners at Pale’s memorial service at the Mahwelereng stadium last week.

Pale was an able leader, he was the chairperson of African National Congress Rufus Seakamela Branch, he was a member Mogalakwena ANC sub-region and he was a member of Waterberg District Interim Core of the South African Communist Party.

“It is clear that Pale was assassinated simply because he fought for the rights of Mogalakwena community at large,” said Mabuela.

He encouraged members of the community to come for-ward and share information which might relate to Pale’s mur-der. “We will work tirelessly in making sure that the perpetrators are brought to book,” he said.

Mabuela highlighted the achievements of the Mogalakwena municipality attributing many of its successes to the positive involvement of Pale in municipal affairs. He cited three consecutive unqualified audit opinions and being rated the number one municipality in Limpopo by SALGA for good governance and financial stability as examples.

“To honour Pale it seems fit that Mahwelereng Stadium be renamed after the slain community activist, Madimetja Piet Pale Stadium,” Mabuela concluded.

On Tuesday community members and taxi operators in Mokopane marched from Mahwelereng to Mokopane police station where they presented a memorandum detailing their grievances against a fellow taxi operator and driver who they allege “ignores the code of taxi drivers” and thereby endangers the lives of other drivers and passengers.

‘Remove taxi hooligans!’

The Community Policing Forum joined local SAPS representatives in a Business against Crime initiative to provide some warm clothing and shoes to the learners of the Mmamoronyane Primary School outside Mokopane near Blinkwater. The small school is headed up by Principal M Matlou who expressed his gratitude for the warm gesture. Pictured here are the learners, Matlou and Sgt.

Two people were allegedly killed in a head-on collision between a white Volkswagen Polo and a Toyota bakkie on Nelson Mandela Avenue in Lephalale on Monday. The cause of the accident is being investigated. Photo source: Facebook.

Four shoplifters arrestedFour people were arrested on Wednesday for shoplifting items to the value of R5 000 from shops at the Lephalale Square.

Three women and a man were caught concealing the stolen items in handbags lined with foil to avoid setting off the alarms when they left the shops.

Detectives Piet Selokelo and Koos Nkwadi made the arrests and searched the suspects, who had hidden items from Legit, Pick 'n Pay and Truworths.

One of the suspects was carrying a baby.

‘n Welbekende bemarker van Vleissentraal, Stefan Heystek (41), het vroeg Saterdagoggend op die Markenpad net buite Lephalale verongeluk.

Volgens Stefan Greyling, afslaer by Vleissentraal en 'n kollega, het Heystek, wat die af-gelope 14 jaar bemarking in die Lephalale en Steen-bokpan-omgewing gedoen het, Vrydag plakkate vir die Bosveldfees veilings in en om Lephalale aange-bring.

Phillip en Jo-anne Bronkhorst en Tito en Nel-marie Nel het net voor 01:00, agter Heytek se voertuig gery. Hulle was op pad huis toe van die Bosveldbal af.

Volgens hulle het hy by die Visgatdraai beheer oor sy voertuig verloor en deur die wildheining gery.

Bronkhorst en Nel het tevergeefs probeer om deur die sekelbosse te sny om by hom uit te kom. Hulle het op die nood-kanaal geroep en EZT Communications

“Genoeg is genoeg, ons is keelvol,” was die gemeenskaplike sentiment by ‘n vergadering wat Maandagaand gehou is om ‘n buurtwag vir Onverwacht te stig.

Sowat 70 inwoners van Onverwacht het reeds aangedui dat hulle by so ‘n buurtwag betrokke wil raak vertel een van die organiseerders, Mariaan Wiid.

“Huise in veral Springbok-, Skurwerand- en Sekelbosstrate word geteiken en verlede week se aanval op Oom Hannes en Tannie Hester was die laaste strooi,” sê sy.

Hannes (84) en Hester (67) Pretorius is verlede Donderdag net na 03:00 in hulle huis oorval deur ‘n groep booswigte wat die hout- en veiligheidsdeur na hulle huis oopgebreek het. Die verdagtes was opsoek na geld, rekenaars en TVs. Die Pretorius-egpaar is met ‘n hammer en ‘n baksteen geslaan en ook met ‘n mes ge-dreig. Albei het erge kop en ribbeserings opgedoen.

“Ons is dankbaar vir die inisiatief om die area waarin ons bly te beveilig," het tannie Hester na die vergadering aan Noordelike Nuus gesê.

"Ons hoop dat die jonges iets kan doen om ons oues te help. Ons was vroeër jare, toe ons op die plaas gewoon het, ook by soortgelyke aksies betrokke,” vertel sy.

Volgens Wiid sal die Onverwacht buurtwag by die polisie geregistreer word en bestaan die hoop dat genoeg mense sal aansluit om uiteindelik die hele On-verwacht in wyke op te deel. Sy vertel dat hulle reeds Maandagaand ‘n bood-skap ontvang het dat twee verdagtes in

‘n erf rondsluip. Binne minute was lede van die buurtwag daar in ‘n poging om die verdagtes te vas te trek. Hoewel hulle nie daarin kon slaag nie - is die boodskap duidelik: “Ons gaan nie meer die vlaag inbrake duld nie, dit is tyd om op te tree.”

By die vergadering is daar ook kom-mer uitgespreek oor die velde en oop erwe veral langs Springbokstraat wat totaal oorgroei is. “Ons dring daarop aan dat die munisipaliteit iets hieraan begin doen. Die lang grasse is op hierdie stadium net ‘n wegkruipplek vir krim-inele,” sê Wiid.

Voorsitter van die gemeenskaps-polisiëringsforum, Thys Eloff, was ook by die vergadering Maandagaand en het riglyne gegee oor die nodige stappe wat gevolg moet word om ‘n buurtwag te registreer.

Vir meer inligting kontak hom gerus op 082 588 8305. Om aan te sluit by die Onverwacht buurtwag kontak Mariaan Wiid by 082 306 7274.

Motorongeluk eis wildbemarkerhet op die noodroep gereageer. Traumar Ambulansdienste is ontbied en boere in die omgewing het kom help om drade te sny.

Hulle het die voer-tuig op sy dak sien lê, maar Heystek was nie in die voertuig nie. Aan die beursie wat in die voertuig gevind is kon hulle bevestig dat die bestuurder wel Stefan Heystek was.

Bronkhorst, wat Heystek goed geken-het, het sy selfoon-nommer geskakel en hulle het die selfoon sowat 20m van die motor af hoor lui. Daar het hulle op Heystek

se liggaam afgekom, hy is vermoedelik opslag dood.

Johan Vosser, besturende direkteur van Vleissentraal Bosveld sê dit is 'n groot slag "nie net vir sy familie nie, maar ook vir die hele Bosveldgemeenskap."

Medupi workers lay charges Allegations of abuse, late payment of sala-ries, miscalculations of hours worked and unfair dismissal were laid against Medupi contractor, Wetback construction, at the Medupi Centre for Dispute Resolution this week.

According to an article in the Business Day, 127 workers claim to have been dis-missed following an allowance dispute that led to the workers downing tools in May. The workers are challenging their dismissal.

The grievance report states that a Wet-

back construction manager became ag-gressive during a meeting with employees. According to Business Day the incident was confirmed by four witnesses and con-struction manager Jose Araujo has admit-ted in a statement that he had behaved as reported.

Northern News spoke to a repre-sentative of Wetback construction, who confirmed that a claim was laid, but said that the matter is sub judice and that she could not comment.

Die Boveldbal wat verlede Vrydagaand by die Mogolsaal in Lephalale aangebied is het nie net die nuwe Mej. Bosveld aan ons bekend-gestel nie, maar het ook aan feesgangers die geleentheid gegee om die verbeelding vlug te gee met die tema Gatsby.

Daar was vere en hoede, pragtige rokke en die dekor was asemrowend. Die sangpaar Zita Pretorius en haar man Burgerd (voorheen van Romanz) het die gehoor weggevoer met hulle pragtige sopraan en tenoor stemme wat saam perfek harmoniseer. Maar dit was die finali-ste van die Mej. Bosveld kompetisie wat die aand laat skitter het. Die kroon het uiteindelik gegaan aan Joanita Visser (18).

Sy woon tans in Pretoria, maar is oor-spronklik van Secunda. Alicia Schlemmer (19) is aangewys as die eerste prinses. Die oud leerder van Hoërskool Ellisras is verlede jaar gekroon as die Face of Lephalale Mall. Sy woon tans in Mokopane. Derde prinses is Chané de Jager (17), 'n leerder by Hoërskool Nylstroom.

Carra-Lee reaches for the starsThe dictionary defines an 'Appren-ticeship' as job training that involves following and studying a master at the trade. For many aspiring models and actresses there is no one better to learn from than well known designer, actress and model - Angelique Gerber.

What started as a search for the face of Angelique Gerber’s clothing range to feature in catalogues and com-mercials became a mentorship program called, “Apprentices of Angelique Gerber 2014” - a nationwide competition in search for the perfect apprentice.

More than 300 young ladies entered the competition with a dream of becoming an apprentice of Angelique.

One hopeful is local beauty Carre-Lee Armstrong from Lephalale. At 16 she is one of the youngest contestants who recently became one of only 70 finalists by successfully going through to the final round.

In the week leading up to the Grand Finale at the Heartfelt Arena on Saturday 19 July, Carra- Lee and the other finalists will join Angelique in painting one of Vuurwarm for Charity’s (Angelique’s favourite charity) schools in Krugersdorp. After the two days of giving back to the community, they will have two full workshop days to find out who they are and how to market themselves. Then it is rehearsals and meeting with the sponsors face to face as well as a full day of judging done by the judges.

BLCK Group has partnered with a lot of sponsors to help and provide tools for the winner to become a star in our local entertainment industry. The winner of “Apprentices of An-gelique Gerber 2014” walks away with prizes to the value of more than R800 000.00.

The Grand Finale promises to be a spectacular event which will be hosted by Angelique Gerber and Philip Moolman. Entertainment for the evening will be supplied by the lovely contestants and artists like Lianie May, Ampie du Preez, Liza Brönner, Chane Valentine, RuanWepener and Valeska Muller.

To support Carre-Lee, visit her facebookpage – Carre-Lee Armstrong or vote for her by sending an SMS with the words AP CarreLee Armsrong to 35069.

Toe Anel Moolman van die Kameeldoring Dierekliniek besluit het om ‘n spesiale dag ten bate van die plaaslike Dierebesker-mingsvereniging (DBV) te reël op 5 Julie, kon sy nie droom hoeveel ondersteuning sy vanuit die gemeenskap sou ontvang nie. Sonder sukkel is daar R5 800 in een mid-dag ingesamel vir dié goeie saak.

“Nie net het sangers het hul tyd vrywillig aangebied en die gehoor op hul eie onkoste vermaak nie, maar mense van die hele Mo-kopane het die dag kom ondersteun,” vertel Anel. Die sangers het ingesluit ons eie Mia Louw, Bianca Mocke, Gerry Lee, Pauline Matthews, Leonard ‘Skaap’ Schaafma, Ger-hard de Beer, Dylan Posselt en Anne-Marie Mailovich.

Die dag het bestaan uit stalletjies wat heerlike smulhappies verkoop het, asook houtspeelgoed, ingelegte vrugte en groente, warm chilli-souse en lekkergoed. Daar was gesigverf, ‘n skoonheidskompetisie (Mej. DBV) en die voete het gejeuk met bobaas musiek.

“Ek wil dankie sê aan almal wat daar was en die dag so 'n sukses gemaak het,” sê Anel. “Dankie aan die borge en sangers.”

Anel hoop om hierdie ‘n jaarlikse instelling te maak ten bate van die DBV.

Weer te sien by hierdie jaar se Bosveldfees in Lephalale is Suid-Afrika se jongste kon-sertina speler - Kosie Beukes (6).

Hoewel dié Mozart van Boeremusiek al 13 musiekinstrumente kan speel, bly die konsertina sy gunsteling. Sy ma Julia vertel dat hulle verstom was toe Kosie op vier-jarige ouderdom die kitaar begin bemeester het. Kort daarna het hy sy musiekonder-wyser op die konsertina hoor speel en dit was nie lank nie toe Suikerbossie Kosie ook op die konsertina.

Kosie het reeds landwyd naam vir hom-self gemaak en het op programme soos Kwela en Dagbreek TV kykers bekoor.

Hy tree ook gereeld by funksies regoor die land op en gehore kan nie uitgepraat raak oor sy besonderse talent nie.

Sy eerste album, Kosie Beukes – Kielie die krismiswurm, word aan die einde van Julie by Laerskool Concordia in Boksburg, waar hy tans in graad 1 is, vrygestel. Bos-veldfeesgangers kan egter die CD by sy ver-toning Saterdag tydens die fees koop.

Wanneer mens die jong talentvolle musi-kant ontmoet besef jy gou - Kosie lewe vir sy musiek. As jy hom vra waar hy sy ta-lent

As dit nie vir die bydraes van die kerk en organisasies soos Mutual & Federal Agri en fondsinsamelingsprojekte soos die Brille & Pille saamtrek was nie, sou die Piet Potgieter Monument Ouetehuis in Mokopane nie na behore vir sy inwoners kon sorg nie. So het die tehuis se bestuurder, Mariana van Tonder, onlangs tydens ‘n kinder/ouerdag by die te-huis aan haar inwoners se kinders gesê.

Die tehuis wat 78 bejaardes huisves waar-van 28 aan een of ander vorm van dimensie ly, word baie skraps deur die staat befonds. Inwoners wat minder as R1000 per maand inkomste kry, word met R3100 gesubsidieer deur die staat, maar dit kos R7400 per maand om ‘n persoon in die tehuis te huisves en versorg.

Boonop is die staat al R1,2 miljoen agter met subsidiegeld wat aan die tehuis betaal moet word, het Van Tonder gesê. Daarom is die tehuis voortdurend besig met fondsin-samelingsprojekte soos die verkope van die stokperdjiegroep se produkte en varsgebak uit die bakhuis.

Die groot bydraes kom egter uit projekte soos die Brille & Pille ‘biker’ saamtrek en die veteraanmotorskou.

Sy het die gemeenskap van Mokopane en haar inwoners se kinders bedank vir hulle steun en daarop gewys dat daar te midde van die uitdagings steeds vreugde en vooruitgang by die tehuis is. Sy het die multi-sensoriese kamer wat eersdaags in gebruik geneem gaan word uitgelig as een van die hoogtepunte hier-die jaar.

Staat skeep bejaardes af hoor kinders

Hier gaan bejaardes, veral mense wat aan Alzheimers en dimentia ly, die geleentheid kry om terug te keer na ‘n tyd toe hulle gelukkig was en met die bystand van ‘n arbeidstera-peut, spelenderwys hul hedendaagse uitda-gings verwerk.

Mariaan van Tonder, bestuurder van die Piet Potgieter Monument Ouetehuis het verlede Saterdag aan besoekers tydens die tehuis se kinder/ouerdag verduidelik hoe hierdie kleurvolle voorskote terapeuties aangewend word in die ouetehuis.

Die bekende gospelsangeres Ronel Erasmus en haar man John Mostert het kinders en ouers vermaak tydens die kinder/ouer saamkuierdag by die ouetehuis verlede Saterdag.

Vir die ‘kinners’ van klein tot onder ‘n 100 jaar is daar, onder andere, ‘n Bungy Trampoline waar vier persone terselfdertyd tot ongeveer 10m in die lug kan spring en sommer terwyl hul daarbo is die hele feesterrein kan bekyk. Dan is daar trapkarre, waterballe, paintball, parachute rocket en selfs ‘n spookhuis.

Soek die Storiesambreelvrou op die terrein en kies ‘n storie uit haar sambreel of luister na die musiek uit haar boepensklavier. Saterdag die 9de om 14:00 moet al die kinders op die terrein by die buiteverhoog saamkom om die gewilde Tjiff & Tjaff te kom ontmoet. Onthou om ‘n kamera saam te bring om ‘n foto te neem.

Successful growth and a demand for an even broader range of services has seen Printmaster in Mokopane move

to larger premises. The shop moved from Retief Street to no. 128 Voor Street (corner Ruiterweg) and will now expand their services to include all printing solutions as well as clothing and embroidering.

Owned by well-known local business women, Maritza Viljoen en Esmé Claassen, Printmaster has been a fixture in town for the past six years.

"We thank God for giving us the opportunity to not only establish our business successfully, but for giving us the means to expand it further," says Maritza.

The business was started in 2008 with only these two business women doing everything from design to binding them-selves with second-hand equipment. Today, Printmaster Mokopane boasts 22 staff members, a fully-functional workshop with state-of-the art machinery and all equip-ment needed for a seamless branding and printing operation.

A new litho-machine has expanded their capacity to offer mass-production of flyers and posters, while a new embroidery ma-chine will allow for the neat branding of lo-go’s on corporate-, safety- and sports wear.

“The new clothing ranges are exciting,” explains Maritza, “we offer top brands including Brutal (rugby), Sevenn (netball), Acelli (soccer) and Black Heath.”

Not only can they order any clothing required, but their ranges include bags, balls and apparatus for most sports.

On the safety side, they offer all cloth-ing, boots and overalls. For corporate wear, clients can make sure employees look sharp with office clothing with embroided logos.

Esmé adds that Printmaster also offers T-shirt printing with not only full colour prints, but also metallic colours.

“Printed T-shirts can be customised for any occasion, from sports days to special events,” she says, adding that a photograph on a T-shirt makes for a lovely gift.

Printmaster offers a full 'paper house service' including all administrative books, letterheads, business cards, menu’s, brochures, booklets, folders, posters, laminating, ect.

Their signage product range includes all chromadeck boards, safety signs, banners, stickers, flags, name tags, digital printing on vinyl, doming, magnetic stickers and even vehicle marketing (including full wrapping of cars).

Branding includes embroidering and full colour hotflex as well as large quantities of silkscreening.

With qualified designers on its staff and the lastest design software, Printmaster can assist with any design to help businesses get that professional look and feel.

"We would really like to thank our loyal clients for their support throughout the years and welcome new clients to give us a call," says Esmé.

Esmé and Maritza also thank their staff members for the hard work and say that having good staff that one can trust is a vital part of their business.

Boerbokke te koopDie Bosveld Boerbokklub aanteel veeveiling is elke jaar ‘n hoogtepunt by die Bosveldfees.

Hierdie jaar word 177 boer-bokramme en –ooie en 14 Kalahari Reds, 1 ram en 13 ooie te koop aangebied. Die veiling vind plaas op Vrydag om 11:00.

Die afslaer is Stefan Greyling.

Die besigheid is goed ondersteun en die Van Niekerks het besluit om uit te brei en die besigheid hervestig as Van Niekerk Voere, wat hulle toege-laat het om allerhande produkte en handelsname te verskaf. So het die besigheid ontstaan wat, soos Anne-merie verduidelik, “begin is met die Heer se wysheid en genade en steeds so voortbou.”

Alhoewel Van Niekerk Voere steeds spesialiseer in die verskaffing van items noodsaaklik vir pluimveeboerdery (kuikens, medisyne, saagsels, voerbakke en verpakking), verskaf hulle ook voer aan ander boerderye, insluitend vark-, bees-, skaap-, perde-, wilds-, konyn- en selfs voël boere. Saagsels, gras en lusern is ook beskikbaar.

“Waar nodig kry ons kundiges om boere by te staan met raad met betrekking tot hoendersiektes en voere. “Ons vat graag hande saam met ander verskaffers en besighede. Ons probeer om aan ons kliënte ’n een-stop diens te bied,” verduidelik Annemarie, “ons help alle boere van die kleinste beginner tot die grootste magnaat!”

Sy sê dat indien iets nie by Van Niekerk Voere beskikbaar is nie, hulle moeite doen om dit vir die kliënte te kry.

Die besigheid het ook uitgebrei na ’n ten volle toegeruste troeteldierwinkel en alles is beskikbaar vanaf hokke vir voëls tot voer en alledaagse bykomstighede. Liefhebbers en eienaars van honde, katte, hamster, hase en voëls kan hulself vergewis van die wye verskeidenheid wat aangebied word.

’n Spesiale afdeling vir tuine is ook ingerig om voorsiening te maak vir jou tuin en die wegbreekhoekie wat jy nodig het om stilte te verkry.

Elke werker is hier baie belangrik aan-gesien hulle hulp en bystand help met die voortbou en uitbreiding van die besigheid en so ook elke kliënt.

“Ons waardeer julle en wil julle graag van harte bedank.”

Volop en veilige parkering is beskikbaar en selfs toilet fasiliteite vir die boer wat vêr gery het.

Van Niekerk Voere, is op die hoek van Kappie de Villiers en De Klerk straat, Mokopane. Hierdie maand vier hulle hul sesde verjaardag met spesiale aanbiedinge elke naweek – gaan loer gerus in vir ’n spesiale afslag met hul ‘pop-a-balloon’ promosie of gaan maak ’n draai later die maand vir die geleentheid om ’n groot-skerm plasma TV te wen. Skakel Van Niekerk Voere by 015 491 4527/3430 vir inligting.

Northern News received several photos of what is called processionary cat-erpillars this week. These are the caterpillars of the processionary moth and are very prevalent at the mo-ment because of the higher than normal rainfall we had in the Bushveld.

Whenever it is necessary to transfer to a new tree, the worms will move in proces-sion, head to tail, following a leader and leaving a silk trail as they move.

When pupating they spin a silk envelope over the entire group. In this each larvae spins its own cocoon. You should see a large amount of the result-ing moths over the next few months as the caterpillars pupate and the moths begin to emerge.

Promosie

In 2009 het Manie en Annemerie, hoenderboere in die Mokopane-omgewing, ‘n behoefte raakgesien vir kwaliteit hoendervoere en -benodighede en hulp met probleemsituasies. So het hulle TWK Voere gestig en voer- en ander produkte begin verkoop aan boere in die omgewing.
