Plaasarbeider so poging om bobbejane uit tuin te hou met geëlektrifi seerde draad eindig in tragedie

Jong boer doodgeskok

Die hegte boerdery gemeenskap van Waterpoort is in rou met die nuus van die skielike dood van ‘n gewilde jong boer en pa van die omgewing, die 38-jarige mnr. Jaco Greyson.

Greyson, wat ZZ2 se afdelingsbestuur­der vir hul boerderybedrywighede op die plaas Setapo was, is doodgeskok deur ‘n onwettige elektrisiteitskonneksie wat deur ‘n plaasarbeider by sy wooneenheid op die plaas aangebring is.

“Ons huil steeds. Hy was ‘n wonder­like pa en het absoluut gelewe vir sy kin ders ...”

So het ‘n familievriend, mev. Kobie Fourie, Dinsdag aan die Zoutpansberger gesê. Greyson is beskryf as ‘n gewel­dige meelewende mens, nie net in die boerderygemeenskap nie, maar ook in sy

betrokkenheid by die CVO Skool Vivo waar sy twee jong kinders, Lily (8) en Juan (9), skoolgaan.

Greyson het Maandag omstreeks 12:00 besoek gebring aan die plaasarbeiders se wooneenhede naby die Waterpoortstasie. By een van die eenhede het ‘n arbeider draad om sy groentetuin gespan en vanaf ‘n kragsok in sy huis geëlektrifiseer, vermoedelik om die bobbejane en wilde diere uit te hou.

Greyson het niksvermoedend en onwe­tend aan die geëlektrifi seerde draad geraak en is in die proses doodgeskok.

Die noodlottige gebeure is dadelik aan die maatskappy se werkswinkelbe­stuurder op Waterpoort, mnr. Johan van Zyl, gerapporteer, wat onmiddellik die polisie, Eskom en nooddienste ontbied het. ZZ2 se noodspan, bestaande uit se­nior bestuurslede en ‘n pastoor, was ook

binne ‘n uur op die toneel om Greyson se eggenote, Liandra, en sy werknemers by te staan, asook om die voorval deeglik te ondersoek.

Alhoewel aanvanklike berigte dit wou hê dat die polisie die arbeider, ‘n Zim­babwiese man, op die toneel gearresteer het, het provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder lt.kol. Ronel Otto by navraag bevestig dat niemand in verband met die voorval in hegtenis geneem is nie.

“Die polisie het ‘n geregtelike doods­ondersoek geopen. By voltooiing van die ondersoek sal die bevindinge na die hof verwys word om te besluit of iemand ver­volg moet word,” het Otto Dinsdag gesê.

Wyle mnr. Greyson sal eerskomende Maandag, 17 September, vanuit die Vol­le Evangelie Kerk in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) begrawe word.

A botched business robbery in Makha-do (Louis Trichardt) ended in tragedy with the death of a security guard from Gwala Security.

At around 23:30 on Saturday, 8 September, a group of six suspects overpowered the 34­year­old Mr Prince Mbedzi while he was on duty as a guard at Eden Oil in Klein Street. His attackers gained access to the premises by cutting the security fence.

After overpowering him, the six men severely beat Mr Mbedzi, apparently with a steel chair. They tied his legs with a piece of wire and demanded money. The group of robbers proceeded to try and break into the business, but triggered an outside alarm and fl ed the scene immediately. Bleeding profusely, Mr Mbedzi managed to free himself and stumbled back to Gwala’s guard quarters next to the railway station in Kruger Street.

In the meantime, alerted by the trig­

gered alarm, the armed response team from DRS Security arrived at the scene, only to discover a pool of blood and a bloodied steel chair. They immediately alerted the police and Gwala Security’s supervisor on duty.

The supervisor drove to the guard quarters, where he found the badly injured Mr Mbedzi and rushed him to the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital at around half past midnight on Sunday morning.

New business or service?

Mnr. M. E. Mbedzi was die eerste persoon in die Soutpansberg om een van die nuwe 2012 Hyundai i30 1.6-modelle van Hyundai Motors in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) te koop. Hy was ook die eerste koper van die nuutste model in 2010. Foto verskaf.

Plaaslike boekwurms wat daarvan hou om tussen ou boeke rond te snuffel, gaan hulle hande saamslaan van plesier oor die nuwe boek-hoekie by Die Wawiel.

(Contd from P1)Returning to check on Mr

Mbedzi’s condition at around 03:00, the supervisor was shocked to see how badly Mr Mbedzi’s condition had dete­riorated, especially after he was able to walk into the hospital himself just an hour and a half before. He was drifting in and out of consciousness, had dif­fi culty breathing, vomited and struggled to talk. At around 07:30 that morning, news came

that Mr Mbedzi had passed away at 05:00.

Hailing from Tshaulu in the Mutale district, Mr Mbedzi had been working for the security company since March 2009. He was described by colleagues as “a good man and a hard worker”.

Although this savage attack occurred in a crime­ridden area, some believe it signifies the beginning of an escalation in business robberies and house­

breakings.“We normally see an increase

in these types of crimes in the period leading up to the Decem­ber holiday season,” said Gwala Security’s Mr Nico Esterhuizen.

On Tuesday, Makhado po­lice spokesperson Capt Maano Sadike said that they were in­vestigating a case of murder, as well as attempted robbery and malicious damage to property.

The former municipal manager of Musina, Mr Abram Luruli.

The Musina Municipal Council accepted the resignation of its suspended municipal manager, Mr Abram Luruli, during a special meeting last Thursday (6 September).

Luruli served the Musina Mu­nicipality for the past 14 years, occupying different positions, ranging from mayor to municipal manager.

The council also decided that disciplinary proceedings against Luruli were to be withdrawn, on the grounds that he had resigned. Luruli resigned fi ve days after he had been served with charges for a disciplinary hearing by the council. The disciplinary hearing was scheduled for 6 September.

Luruli was suspended with full pay in December last year, after he had absconded from work for four months without permission from the council. At the time he was suspended, it was revealed that Luruli had taken leave from 1 April 2011 and was supposed to have returned to work on 1 June, but he failed to do so. He only reported for work on 11 November 2011.

According to the head of com­munications of the Musina Local Municipality, Mr Wilson Dzebu, Luruli was also suspended pend­ing investigations into charges relating to gross fi nancial mis­management.

During the meeting of the

council, it was resolved that, should any law enforcement agency institute any action against Luruli in future and money needed to be recovered, he would be personally liable for his actions.

Dzebu conveyed gratitude to Luruli and thanked him for his contributions during his stay at Musina Municipality.

“Council also wishes Luruli the best of luck in his future en­deavours.”

Dzebu also added that the posi­tion of municipal manager would be advertised in due course. Mr Shumani Razwiedani is at present the acting municipal manager of the Musina Municipality.

Council accepts Luruli’s resignation

Security guard dies after severe beatingDie moordsaak teen die 37-ja-rige Dennis Moyo is vir eers weer uitgestel.

Moyo , ‘n Z imbabwië r , het weer verlede week in die Rondgaan de Hooggeregshof in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) ver­skyn. Hy word daarvan verdink dat hy die 51­jarige mnr. Rudi Schmidt in 2002 op sy plaas in die Pondrift­omgewing aangeval en vermoor het.

Moyo het verskyn op ‘n klag van moord, huisbraak met die op set om te roof en roof met verswarende omstandighede.

Twee weke gelede het Moyo die hof laat regop sit toe sy regs­

verteenwoordiger aangedui het dat Moyo sal getuig dat Schmidt se weduwee, Corlia, hom geld aangebied het om haar man te vermoor. Corlia, wat in daardie stadium vir die Staat in die getuiebank gestaan het, het die be werings teen haar ten sterkste ontken.

Verlede week het die Staat nog getuienis gelei oor die mis­daadtoneel en wat daar destyds gevind is.

Terwyl Moyo eers na 10 jaar vanaf Zimbabwe na Suid­Afrika uitgeruil is, is daar van die foren­siese bewysstukke wat nog nie geproseseer is nie.

Regter Rabie het derhalwe Woensdag gelas dat dié bewys­stukke bymekaar gekry moet word, sodat dit hofgereed kan wees.

Hy het gelas dat ‘n po li­siekaptein, wat destyds uitgehelp het met die ondersoek in Schmidt se moord en nou betrokke is by die Valke, die ondersoek moet oorneem en sorg dat die onder­soekwerk afgehandel word.

Moyo se saak is uitgestel tot en met 22 Oktober. Hy sal dan in die Hooggeregshof in Polo­kwane verskyn, omdat die hof meer sentraal geleë is vir al die betrokke partye.

The Vhembe District Munici-pality (VDM) was served with legal papers in the North Gauteng High Court on 7 September as part of AfriFo-rum’s fi rst step in forcing the municipality to adhere to its constitutional obligations to provide residents of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) and sur-rounds with water.

The VDM now has until 12 September to provide the court with a response, should they oppose this action. Local Af­riForum chairperson Mr Wally Schultz said that the respondents in the case are the VDM, the Makhado Municipality, Premier Mr Cassel Mathale and the Minister of Water Affairs, Ms Edna Molewa.

AfriForum’s organiser in Lim popo, Mr Tiaan Esterhui­zen, said that the municipal­ity’s careless attitude indicated

that they were not taking their constitutional responsibility to­wards residents seriously. The court papers were served on the respondents, despite an ap­peal from Makhado Mayor Cllr David Mutavhatsindi to Schultz to stop legal proceedings.

“The mayor approached me at the last minute to drop our ur gent application, indicating that the Makhado Municipal­ity was prepared to co­operate with us on improving service delivery. He indicated that the recent appointment of a new municipal manager would be followed by more appointments that will dramatically change the current situation,” Schultz said. Schultz added, however, that he had informed Mutavhatsindi that while they welcomed this new attitude, it should have been done months ago.

“I was astonished that Mayor

Mutavhatsindi was unaware that the VDM had not even bothered to reply to any of AfriForum’s demands that precipitated this court action,” said Schultz.

Since a local resident is re­quired by the court to be an applicant in the action, along with AfriForum, Ms Anne­Marie Kuhne was the obvious choice to accompany Shultz to sign off the required legal documentation in Polokwane on 5 September. Kuhne oper­ates a cut­fl ower business from her home in the centre of town.

“Kuhne kept a meticulous re cord of the inconsistent water supply in town. Her statement was so comprehensive and even included a detailed calendar of daily water fl ows, making her the clear choice to be a joint ap plicant, as required by law, in our urgent court application” said Schultz.

Legal papers fi led despite mayor’s plea

Pictured at the signing of AfriForum’s legal papers. From left to right are attorney Adriaan van der Walt (witness), Ms Anne-Marie Kuhne (AfriForum member), Mr Wally Schultz, (chairperson of the local AfriForum branch) and Mr Tiaan Esterhuizen (AfriForum organiser in Limpopo).

Enige goeie bedoelings wat die Makhado polisie mag gehad het, is oorskadu deur hulle optrede teen beweerde onwettige padstaleienaars.

Trouens, dié optrede het by die betrokke eienaars net vrae en verwarring gelos.

Verlede Woensdag moes meer as een padstal­eienaar verbaas toekyk hoe vyf polisielede hul winkelvoorraad begin opskryf, omdat hulle glo sonder ‘n lisensie handel gedryf het.

Mnr. Kallie Röttcher, eienaar van die Leopard Rock­padstalletjie op die N1­noord, was een so ‘n eienaar. Groot was sy ontsteltenis toe polisielede vroegoggend voor die stalletjie stop en dreig om beslag te lê op sy winkelvoorraad as hy nie sy handelslisensie kan toon nie.

In die ongeveer 30 jaar wat Röttcher eienaar van die stalletjie is, is dit die eerste keer wat enige iemand hom vra vir só ‘n lisensie. Só het Röttcher aan die koerant gesê, terwyl die polisie nog besig

Deur Isabel Venter

was om sy voorraad bymekaar te maak.“Onredelik – dit is totaal en al onredelik,” het

Röttcher die polisie se optrede beskryf. “Sulke ongeskikte mense hoort nie in die polisie nie. Daar is veel erger misdaad as om onskuldige mense te pla,” het hy gesê.

Die betrokke polisielede het aanvanklik aange­dring dat hulle ‘n hofbevel het om alle besighede wat sonder ‘n lisensie handel dryf toe te maak. Daar kon later betroubaar vasgestel word dat geen só ‘n hofbevel uitgereik is nie.

Verder het Röttcher gesê dat die polisie ook ge­weier het om hulleself te identifi seer en eers later, op sy aandrang, hulle identiteitskaarte aan Röttcher getoon het. Al die lede, vier mans en ‘n vrou, was in siviele kleredrag.

Nadat al die winkel se voorraad opgelaai is, is Phato, die winkelassistent, gearresteer en aangekla van handeldryf sonder ‘n lisensie, in terme van die Besigheidswet van 1991 (Wet 71 van 1991). Hy is vir die hele dag in die selle gehou, voordat hy met ‘n waarskuwing om die volgende dag in die hof te verskyn, vrygelaat is.

Maar, net soos in ‘n soortgelyke geval, is Röttcher se saak van die hofrol geskrap.

Verdere navrae by die Louis Trichardt Land­droshof het aan die lig gebring dat dieselfde polisiespan wat by Leopard Rock toegeslaan het, die dag vantevore ook die Calamari Driemyl Spaza se winkelvoorraad opgeskryf het. Die winkelassi­stent, Wouter Brits, is op dieselfde klag as Phato in hegtenis geneem.

Die saak is verlede Woensdag in die Louis Trichardt Distrikhof teen Brits teruggetrek. Die beslissing wat deur die hof gemaak is dat daar nie ‘n “misdryf is as die winkel buite die Makhado munisipale gebied val nie.”

Verdere ondersoek het aan die lig gebring dat die polisielede glo in opdrag van ‘n nasionale polisie­omsendskrywe gehandel het. Dié brief is glo sowat twee maande gelede uitgereik en het beveel dat alle onwettige winkels, sjebeens en padstalletjies ge­sluit moet word. Hierdie besighede is geïdentifi seer as ‘n broeiplek vir misdaad.

Polisie se optrede laat wrang smaak

Sentencing in the case against businessman Yahya Shoeb Jiwa (45) from Makhado (Louis Trichardt) was put on hold.

In July this year, Jiwa pleaded guilty on charges relating to restricted activities on a special, protected species without the necessary permits. He was arrested in February last year during an authorized police trap. In his plea documents, Jiwa admitted to buying two rhino horns, weighing in at 13.4kg and to the value of R715 000, from a police agent.

Jiwa appeared in the Louis Trichardt Regional Court on Wednesday, but his defence team asked for a postponement. According to information available, this is due to a pre­sentencing report that is still outstanding. This document will sup­port a petition to ask the court for correctional supervision rather than a jail sentence.

Jiwa will have to appear in court again on 26 October for sentencing.

The Rotary Anns of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) launched an exciting new fundraising drive, entitled the Spend to Save Project, on Tuesday.

Already supporting Herfs­akker and Laat Lente, Meals on Wheels, the Makhado Care Group and the Rape Crisis Cen­tre, the Anns continue to lend a helping hand wherever they can.

This eagerness to help gave rise to their Spend and Save Project, whereby members of the public buy a once­off R50 ticket, qualifying them to save

between 5% en 10% on every R350 or more they spend at the 16 participating stores.

“Every ticket thus represents a saving of about R500,” said Rotary Ann president Lizet Joubert.

The 16 participating local stores are Sine Wave, Noorde­wapens, Mike’s Kitchen, Pool and Spa, Spar, Ocean Basket, Easy Albums, Tsonga Textiles, Gateway Inn, Ultimate Guest House, Lalapanzi Hotel, Kiwi Café, C Jay’s Salon, Rainbow Midas, House of Interiors and

Leach Printers.“The offer expires on 15

December, so make sure you get hold of a couple of tickets and start spending to save!” said Lizet.

The Anns thanked all the participating stores for their donations and goodwill towards supporting this worthy cause.

“And thank you every buyer of a ticket ­ together we will make a difference!” said Lizet.

For more information, phone Lizet at Tel 083 442 0428.

Since the beginning of Au-gust, junior Canadian mining company Diamcor Mining Incorporated has unearthed “several thousand individual diamonds” from their Krone-Endora project.

The company made this an­nouncement last Thursday in a press release. Krone­Endora is situated directly next to De Beers’ Venetia Mine in the Limpopo valley. Last month, the company started a 200­ton­per­

hour modular pro ces sing plant to evaluate operational efficien­cies of the in­quarry screening equipment, assess processing capacities and assist them in de­termining modifications required to enhance the project if needed.

Until the end of August, Diam­cor has recovered individual diamonds with a total combined weight, before acidizing, of approximately 1 214.86 carats. Of these, the company was very pleased to note that 85 rough

diamonds were 1 carat or larger.Because these diamonds only

came from the lower­grade areas of Krone­Endora, the company now plans to carry out bulk sam­pling programmes in new areas of the project that were not previ­ously accounted for in their initial report. In the meantime, Diamcor anticipates moving to full­scale mining once the Department of Mineral Resources has finalised its application for a New Mining Right Order.

Anns invites you to spend and save

The Rotary Anns of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) launched their newest fundraising project, called the Spend and Save Project, on Tuesday and invited residents to start spending to save. Photo supplied.

A resident of Beit Bridge linked to an armed robbery syndicate operating along the Limpopo River was sentenced to an ef-fective 12 years in jail for team-ing up with two accomplices and robbing a local man of his fishing rods, sports shoes and a bag containing fish at gunpoint.

Forward Magwede (30), who resides at Dulibadzimu suburb in the border town, pleaded not guilty to an armed robbery charge but was convicted by Regional Magistrate Joseph Maveza on Friday.

The prosecutor, Mr Johannes

Tlou, said that in 2008, the com­plainant was coming from the Limpopo River where he had gone for fishing, when he was spotted by Magwede. Magwede was in the company of Messrs Eddy Chinyama and Emmanuel Hwata. They ordered the victim to stop, but he defied them and continued walking. Magwede and his accomplices followed the victim and caught up with him.

It was testified that Magwede pulled out a pistol and threatened to shoot the victim if he made a noise. He then robbed him of three fishing rods, a bag contain­

ing fish and sports shoes. The three men fled from scene.

On 12 May, the victim was called to the police station where Magwede was among the sus­pects who were paraded for various crimes.

The victim managed to posi­tively identify Magwede, who was arrested during a joint border operation involving Zimbabwean police and their South African counterparts.

According to the police, Chin­yama and Hwata are still at large.

Twelve years for stealing fishing gear

South Africa deported more than 1 200 Zimbabweans through Beit Bridge Border Post two weeks ago, bringing the total to more than 35 000 illegal immigrants brought home since the Department of Home Affairs resumed the exercise last October.

South Africa resumed the deportation of undocumented Zimbabweans in October last year.

“We have so far handled 35 031 deportees since the exer­

cise resumed on 7 October last year. Between 1 January and 24 August, 27 276 Zimbabweans were brought back home,” said Zimbabwe’s assistant regional immigration manager at Beit Bridge Border Post, Mr Charles Gwede.

The latest batch of deportees was brought in aboard seven buses from the Lindela detention centre outside Johannesburg in Gauteng.

Gwede said several border jumpers were taking advantage

of the drop in water levels in the Limpopo River to cross the border illegally through undes­ignated entry points.

“There is a need to intensify border patrols to reduce border jumping as, of late, there has been a sharp increase in border jumping,” he added.

“We continue to warn people against using undesignated entry points as they risk being at­tacked by robbers who operate in bushy areas along the river,” he also said.

Stay clear of Limpopo River, warn policeThe police in Musina are ap-pealing to members of the community to stop trespass-ing at restricted places along the Beit Bridge border near Musina.

This comes after an unfortu­nate incident occurred near the Limpopo River recently. “A local person and a passenger were driving and were stopped by Zimbabwean officials and

accused of being on the Zimbab­wean side of the border,” said a spokesperson of the Musina police, Lt Peter Mudau.

Mudau indicated that peo­ple should refrain from going anywhere near the Limpopo river, because the act in itself is hazardous. According to him, there is an information board announcing that unauthorised entry is prohibited and that “non­

military transport travel on risk”. Therefore, he said, any person who enters shall be trespassing and shall be prosecuted. “This area is not safe, because you may be attacked by the magumagu­mas,” he said.

He appealed to community members and those who find themselves in and around Mu­sina to act responsibly while going near the border.correctional services

Deur Frans van der Merwe

Omvangryke optiese veselka-belnetwerke, wat beloof om ‘n omwenteling mee te bring in die vasteland se telekom-munikasiebedryf, word op die oomblik teen groot spoed ook in die Limpopo provinsie aangelê.

Een so ‘n trans­Afrika optiese veselkabelnetwerk sal ‘n onder­sese kabel, wat by Tanzanië aan land kom, in Johannes­burg met bestaande netwerke verbind. ‘n Gedeelte van hierdie netwerk word tans tussen Musina en Makhado (Louis Trichardt) voltooi. Die projek sal na ver­wagting teen Desember vanjaar reeds voltooi wees en in werking gestel kan word. Dit sal aansluit by soortgelyke netwerke wat Johannesburg ondermeer met Oos­Londen, Port Elizabeth en Kaapstad sal verbind.

Die hoof van een van die kon­trakteurs wat hard werk aan die

multi­miljoen rand projek, mnr. Jacques Coetzer van die onderne­ming Nivadox van Middelburg, het by navraag bevestig dat die werk om die kabel tussen Musina en Makhado (Louis Trichardt) te lê, reeds sowat 60% voltooi is. Ander kontrakteurs werk reeds aan die res van die afstand suid na Polokwane en Pretoria.

Coetzer sê die optiese veselka­bels sal bestaande koperkabels vervang. Dit het die vermoë om ‘n verbysterende toename in die volume en spoed van telekom­munikasieverkeer te bewerkstel­lig, teen ‘n drasties­verminderde prys.

“Die netwerke sal uiteindelik in elke dorp en elke straat aan­gelê word, sodat die dienste vir elke individuele private huurder beskikbaar sal wees, benewens die hoë gehalte verbeterde dien­ste wat aan banke en ander kor­poratiewe ondernemings verskaf

sal word.”Die optiese veselkabel word

oor die hele afstand – ook deur die sakesentrums van die onder­skeie dorpe ­ ‘n meter onder­gronds gelê. Die kontrakteurs is verantwoordelik vir die kompak­tering en rehabilitasie van al die oppervlaktes wat oor die afstand van die projek versteur word met die lê van die kabel.

So ver moontlik word die werk by elke dorp verrig deur plaaslike arbeid. Die aanlê van soortgelyke netwerke is reeds in verskeie buurstate aan die gang en internasionale aansluitings en kringnetwerke word bewerkstel­lig. Die afsonderlike netwerke word deur verskillende groot internasionale telekommunikasie ondernemings aangelê, wat dit ook teen mededingende pryse aan ander diensverskaffers beskik­baar kan stel.

Werkers van die onderneming Nivadox, besig om optiese vesel kabel af te rol in die middedorp van Musina. Hulle werk aan ´n kabellyn wat in Tanzanië begin, deur Zimbabwe oor die grens na Suid-Afrika kom en langs die N1 strek tot in Johannesburg.

Projekbestuurder mnr. Japie Maree hou toesig by die kabelsloot wat reg deur die sentralesakegebied van Musina vir die trans-Afrika optiese vesel kabelnetwerk voorsiening maak. Die grawe van die sloot en die lê van die kabel word met indrukwekkende spoed en minimum ontwrigting voltooi.

Binne die blou kabelhuls is sewe plastiekpypies wat elk gevul word met ´n optiese vesel. “Elkeen van hierdie sewe vesels sal 150 miljoen oproepe gelyktydig kan hanteer,” sê Japie.

Trans-Afrika veselkabelnetwerk lei ‘n nuwe era in vir kommunikasiebedryf

The Makhado Municipality has finally appoint-ed a new municipal manager, and the question now is whether the municipality will experience a positive turn-around, especially with regard to getting a clean financial audit.

Mr Isaac (Sakkie) Muthsinyali was introduced to the media as the new municipal manager on 6 September. He was quick to point out that he had found the Greater Letaba Municipality bankrupt and without any financial systems running when he became their municipal manager in 2001, and after four years they had a clean audit.

“They previously had received disclaimers and adverse opinions from the auditor general. When I left, they had an unqualified report. If given the support, we can turn around and re­engineer this municipality, maybe even in a shorter period of time,” Mutshinyali said.

“He is the right man for this municipality,” said former acting municipal manager Mr Elias Mugari.

With an impressive string of academic qualifica­tions at several national and international institu­tions, as well as more than 18 years of experience in local and provincial government, Muthsinyali indeed seems to be in a position to bring hope to a local municipality fraught with inaccurate financial affairs, critical shortages of water, uncompleted projects and poor management and maintenance of infrastructure.

Mutshinyali came across as a decisive leader with a sense of urgency. Even before his appoint­ment on 1 September, he had inspected the area to identify ‘hot­spots’. Coming from the Schoeman­sdal area and with family in Muraleni, he is well acquainted with the area.

“I had been on the council of this municipality with oom Brink Schlesinger and Louis Holtzhau­sen,” said Muthsinyali, adding that he was happy to be back home.“We are public servants, and I

have no other agenda than to be your servant,” said Mutshinyali. He emphasised that he went incognito to the municipality and observed long queues and saw inefficiency.

”What I want is an efficient institution,” he said. With his no­nonsense approach, he had already taken action by talking to his frontline staff to look at ways to better serve the public. He emphasised that it takes time to change people’s mindsets to see a better way of doing things.

School News

Two former students of Ridgeway College in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), Ms Joan Tshivhin-da and Mr Tshepiso Manyoha, were appointed as directors of this Section 21 Company during a board meeting on 1 September.

Tshivhinda graduated in 2009 with a Bsc (Hons) in computational and applied mathematics from Wits University, after which she joined the Ned­bank Capital Graduate Programme in 2010 and was subsequently employed as a quantitative analyst for Nedgroup Securities. Tshivhinda will be moving to BNP Paribus Cadiz as a quantitative analyst at the end of this month.

Manyoha graduated from Witwatersrand Univer­sity with a BCom degree in information systems and HR, where he was awarded the Waymark Infotech prize for information systems business programming. He also completed the GIBS lead­ership dialogue circle program (NEXUS) in 2009, TOGAF training and is currently completing his masters degree in business administration (MBA) at GIBS. Manyoha is a senior management consul­tant at Accenture South Africa and has worked with large corporate clients across different industries such as Telkom, Tiger Brands, FirstRand Group and MTN. He is passionate about doing business in Africa, adding value to organisations and general management. Most of his work has been based on the use of technology to solve business problems. Manyoha is also engaged in leadership develop­ment through volunteer initiatives and has served on the board of The Refugees Ministries Centre (a non­government organisation in aid of refugees from war­torn neighbouring countries). He is also the current chairperson of the South African Oracle Human Resources and Payrol Implementors Group.

The principal of Ridgeway College, Ms Leigh Bristow, said that she was proud to see how many of their past students had successful careers, and even more so when these students were prepared to make time in their busy lives to take part actively in the management of the school, bringing with them their business acumen and fresh approach.

Mr Tshepiso Manyoha. Photo supplied.Die kantoor van die persone wat maandeliks die meters lees in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het sonder enige kennisgewing aan belastingbetalers ‘ver-dwyn’. Daar sou later uitgevind word dat die kantoor elders oopgemaak het onder ‘n ander naam.

“Ek was met 10 hoë munisi­pale rekeninge op pad na Bires in Burgerstraat, sodat hulle vir my die laaste ses maande se le­sings kon trek, toe ek die kantore gesluit vind. Uiteindelik het ek vasgestel dat ek na Ruhstraat moet gaan, na wyle dr. Wim de Villiers se gebou. By die nuwe kantoor, met die naam UMS, het die persoon vir my gesê dat sy ‘n nuwe rekenaar het en geen

toegang tot die rekords het nie,” het die Soutpansberg Belasting­betalersvereniging (SBBV) se bestuurder, mnr. Phillip Olivier, verlede week gesê.

Mnr. Corné Fourie van Bires het intussen bevestig dat UMS (Utility Management Service) ‘n gedeelte van Bires uitgekoop het en dat UMS voortaan die meter­lesings in die dorp sal behartig.

“Dit sal hulle sowat 10 tot 14 dae neem om alles in die nuwe kantoor operasioneel te kry. Intussen sal geen krag onnodig afgesny word nie,” het Fourie gesê. Hy het die versekering ge­gee dat UMS ‘n spesialis maats­kappy is en een van die grootste in die land.

“Die voordeel is dat hulle

stelsel direk sal integreer met dié van die munisipaliteit. Die meterlesings sal dus direk op die databasis van die munisipaliteit verskyn, sodat probleme met af­wykings uitgesorteer kan word voordat die rekenings uitgestuur word. Betalings by die muni­sipaliteit sal direk op UMS se stelsel reflekteer. Hulle sal later ook ‘n bedryfstelsel bestuur om navrae vir die Raad te hanteer,” het Fourie gesê.

Die stadsraad was ten volle bewus van die samesmelting van die twee maatskappye. Nie hulle of Bires het die moeite gedoen om die SBBV of gemeenskap te verwittig van die ligging van die nuwe kantoor en die trekdatum daarheen nie.

Group barely miss encounter with lionA group of senior citizens from Makhado (Louis Trich-ardt) narrowly missed an encounter with a lion while visiting Marloth Park, bor-dering the southern end of the Kruger National Park.

From Marloth Park, visitors can see the Crocodile River on the other side of the fence, but on their side game like kudu, zebra, wildebeest, impala, and giraffes roam freely, due to the absence of the big five in the park.

The group of 35 was on their annual senior citizen’s treat, organised by Agapé Christian Centre.

Some members of the group were walking on Marloth’s side of the Crocodile River,

A group of senior citizens from Makhado (Louis Trichardt) narrowly missed an encounter with a lion while visiting Marloth Park. Pictured are some members of the group, with Mr Marc Russell standing in the middle. The lion had charged Russell. Photo supplied.

when they learnt from Mr Marc Russell, a permanent resident at Marloth, that a lion had charged him.

“I heard a roar and thought it was a lion on the Kruger side. I car­ried on walking along the fence, only to hear it growl again. I moved back to the main road, when a cleaner shouted ‘There’s a lion!’ The next moment, a big male came charging straight out of the bush at me, stopping not two meters away. I just stood there, shouting and waving my stick. Thankfully, the lion

turned and went back through the fence into the KNP,” Russell said.

Ms Claudette Gradwell picks up the story.

“The park security was con­tacted and came sometime later to investigate the scene. They found a hole in the fence where lion hair had caught and saw some blood spots, probably the lion’s own. We learnt that six lions had entered Marloth so far and they had captured three of them. We were warned not to walk in the area,” Gradwell said.

The lion threat did not dampen their spirits. “From a safe spot, we could watch the lions playing with their cubs in the riverbed”, “It was lovely to feed the game, which had become remarkably tame. Ms Warthog was such a

pig; when she came to eat, the others had to wait till she was finished!” and “We had a wonderful time of fellow­ship around the camp fire and we were really spoilt by the couples who went with and acted as house parents,” were some of the remarks of the senior citizens.

The group left town on 20 August and returned on 24 August. They thanked Pas­tor Sam van Niekerk and the church for the opportunity, all the sponsors, as well as their caretakers, Kleintjie and Riana Jooste, Louis and Janina Jordaan, Bobby and Suzette Reid, Alan and Sandra Dale, Chris and Rona Mattheus and Dalene van Niekerk.

of news@zoutnet.co.zaThe Way, the Truth and the LifeRead 1 Pet 1:24-25

People’s natural life is compared to vanity. Here it is called grass. We are

to make no distinction between categories of people for the Word says: “All men are like grass.”

However, the life that never ends, which begins here, is the new spiritual life, of which the Word of God is the im­mortal seed. This is contrasted with the corruptible seed of human life.

Verse 25 says: “And this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.”

The Word of God is so like God Himself and carries so plainly the image of His power and wisdom that when they are spoken about together, it is some­times diffi cult to know if the expression refers to God or His Word.

Heb 4:12: “The Word of God is living and powerful.” This is the Word that was preached to us, Make sure the Word that is preached to you is the very Word of God. Do what the public in Berea did. Acts 17:11: “These were more fair-mind-ed than those in Thessalonika, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to fi nd out whether these things were so.”

Make sure it is imperishable and endures for ever. Although preached by men, its power is from the everlast­ing God, who through it brings life to His chosen ones. Learn to hear, receive, esteem and love this holy, living Word.

Is this simply a sick expensive joke?

Why marry her?

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy: ‘So I hear you’re getting married?’

‘Yep!’ ‘Do I know her?’ ‘Nope!’ ‘This woman, is she good looking?’ ‘Not really.’ ‘Is she a good cook?’ ‘Naw, she can’t cook too well.’ ‘Does she have lots of money?’ ‘Nope! Poor as a church mouse.’

‘Well, then, is she

What Confucius did not say:

* Man who drives like hell is bound to get there;* Man who lives in glass house should change clothes in basement.

Same old, same old … A reader sent in these two photos of police vehicles parked on no-parking areas. The reader writes that he spotted the two vehicles when he went to Specsavers in Makhado (Louis Trichardt)’s Krogh Street on Tuesday morning. “… and my way on the pavement was blocked by a police vehicle, so I looked about and found the emergency - this warrant offi cer needed to draw cash at the Standard Bank ATM’s in a hurry apparently. In the background of the above picture, of course, was another police van parked across the pedestrian crossing. The civilian passenger was camera shy and covered her face. Shopping at Woolies is not usually regarded a police emergency and nor is drawing cash at an ATM. Are they allowed to use police vehicles for personal errands?” the reader wrote. Copies of the two photos were sent to local police spokesperson, Capt Maano Sadike. He responded by saying that the matter will be brought to the attention of the station commander and management. “… you will be informed in due course of the fi ndings,” Capt Sadike said.

At several minutes past two on Saturday afternoon [1 Septem­

ber], the only official on duty at Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital’s reception was sitting on the wall on the stoep outside the building, eating an apple.

Against the backdrop of an expensively produced, gigantic full­colour Batho Pele poster boldly extolling patients’ rights, an ambu­lance patient ­ the victim of a mo­torcycle accident ­ sat writhing with pain in a wheelchair at the casualty section, waiting to go for X­rays. He could not go without a fi le. Like the several other patients waiting at reception, he could not get a fi le because madam was sitting outside, eating an apple. Madam was on lunch, so everybody had to wait.

At casualties, a young man with a festering wound on his right arm asked for help. The clinic had sent him there. The wound had appar­ently opened after stitches were removed at the hospital earlier that week. On Saturday, it was obvi­ously swollen and infl amed, full of pus and very painful. The staff member in charge told him that only a doctor could help him, but no doctor was available. The doctor on duty had left for the weekend. They had strict orders to recall the doc­tor on duty only for emergencies. The wound, having originally been received more than a week before, did not satisfy the defi nition of an emergency. He would have to return on Monday to see the doctor. The fact that the dangerously festering wound could develop into gangrene over the next two days, thereby potentially leading to an amputa­tion of this patient’s right arm, if not attended to, could not convince this nurse that it constituted an emergency. “You must come on Monday,” she instructed the patient, standing there against the backdrop of the full­colour, glossy Batho Pele

poster, which boldly states that ev­ery patient has the right to timeous medical attention.

As if to guarantee the total cred­ibility of these rights, a toll­free telephone number appears promi­nently at the top of the list of rights on the gigantic poster.

Sharing the desperation of the young man whose future ability to earn a decent living might depend on the availability and quality of medical attention he so obviously required, I phoned the toll free Batho Pele number. I tried. Again. And again. Every time my call was ended by a female robotic voice informing me politely that there was no response from that num­ber: Batho Pele was not answering my emergency call on behalf of a desperate young patient. Probably noting my (predictable?) failure to receive assistance from the promi­nent promises of Batho Pele, the lady turned on the still wavering young patient: “Didn’t you hear me? I told you to go and to come back on Monday!” (This once again against the backdrop of that poster, which states emphatically that every patient has the right to be treated with respect at all times.)

Fortunately, at that very moment, a new team of real nurses arrived. One member immediately took an interest in the young man’s plight. Against the protest of her colleague, she insisted on at least cleaning up and protecting the wound until the doctor could give it attention on Monday.

For this proper nurse I wish there was a working toll­free (Florence Nightingale?) number where I could record a real “Thank you.” (But maybe she also saw the grateful smile of that young patient, when she completed her good work? I believe you did.)

Can nobody in the Makhado Mu­nicipality inform the residents

of Louis Trichardt on the very, very, very poor situation of the water?

No warnings or anything ­ just cut off and wait until they decide to connect, fi x, repair or whatever

should be done? Plus there are no tankers going around to support the crisis.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Two weeks without water?

Klouter Kabouter Kleuterskool in Levubu het ‘n welkome finansiële donasie van Springfield Farms ontvang. Springfield is geleë tussen Makhado (Louis Trichardt) en Levubu en boer met gewasse soos avokado’s vir die uitvoer mark en makadamias. Die skool het hul dank uitgespreek vir die borgskap en gesê dat sal aangewend word vir die oprigting van ‘n nuwe veilige omheining. Foto verskaf.

Hoërskool Eric Louw se 2012-matriekgroep is opgewonde om hul skoolloopbaan klaar te maak met die begin van hul rekordeksamens. Intussen word die nuwe groep Graad 8 leerlinge met afwagting ingewag en die getal aansoeke van voornemende Graad 8’s het reeds alle verwagtinge oorskry. Die skool het derhalwe ouers versoek om so spoedig moontlik hul aansoeke in te stuur. Afgeneem is Louwtjies se matrieks met hul matriekafskeid om die draai op 29 September. Foto verskaf.

‘n Baie geslaagde 2012 Inni-Berg Fees het dubbeld soveel feesgangers as verlede jaar gelok en die span ouers van die CVO Skool Zoutpansberg bu-ite Makhado (Louis Trichardt) is vuur en vlam vir volgende jaar se fees.

Die fees is die inisiatief van ‘n groepie ouers van die skool, waar ouers volle verantwoordelikheid vir fondse neem.

Die gedagte om so ‘n fees te hou het ontstaan as gevolg van ‘n behoefte van die gemeenskap aan ‘n fees met kunstenaars naby aan die dorp en waar veiligheid en kwaliteit belangrik is.

Die Inni­Berg Fees het bestaan uit 13 kunstenaars, bekend en minder bekend, ‘n groot ver­skeidenheid stalletjies ­ van biltong tot binnenshuise versie­ring ­ rondomtalie vermaak vir die kinders, Smurfies, Barney en ‘n biertuin. Daar was ongeveer 1 300 feesgangers oor die naweek, wat dubbel die hoeveelheid was as verlede jaar. Die SA Bloed­diens, KANSA en DBV het die geleentheid gehad om die publiek te nader.

Om so ‘n fees te reël neem baie tyd en geld in beslag, met onkostes wat die R300 000 kerf oorskry. Die onkostes word ge­

dek deur die hekfooie wat gehef word en skenkings van onderne­mings. Die hekfooie van R100 per persoon per dag (en R50 vir laerskoolleerlinge) het al die kunstenaars se optredes ingesluit. Van hul kant het die kunstenaars hoë lof gehad vir die kwaliteit van die klank en die verhoog.

Intussen is die skool reeds besig met reëlings vir volgende jaar se fees.
