Toename in inbrake by wonings terwyl inwoners by die huis is, bron tot ernstige kommer

Inbrekers vier fees

Munisipaliteit traag om oortreders vas te

vat - bladsy 2

Die toename in inbrake en diefstalle by wonings in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) die afgelope twee maan-de is ‘n bron tot ernstige kommer.

“Dit wil voorkom asof veral die sentrale gebiede van die Nuwe Uitbreiding geteiken word,” het die voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Dorpswag, mnr. Dirk Meissenheimer, Woensdagoggend gesê. Hy het toe pas teruggekeer van die toneel waar twee duplekswoonstelle in Proteastraat net die vorige aand besteel is, terwyl die inwoners tuis was.

Die Zoutpansberger het die afgelope week besluit om self bietjie te probeer bepaal wat die omvang van die probleem is. Die besluit volg vanweë die polisie se volgehoue weiering om misdaadstatistieke ten opsigte van navrae oor huisbrake aan die koerant en publiek bekend te maak.

Kommerwekkend is dat huisbrake by wonings terwyl die inwoners by die huis is, al hoe meer algemeen voorkom. Dit was die geval by die woonstelle in Proteastraat. Terwyl die inwoners rustig gelê en slaap het op die boonste verdieping, het die booswigte die onderste vloer geplunder.

Mnr. Fanie van Zyl en sy gesin van Kameelstraat het dieselfde oorgekom. Hy het Vrydagoggend (17de) opgestaan en klaargemaak om werk toe te gaan. “Ek het aanvanklik niks agtergekom nie. Ek het klaargemaak

en uitgestap na my bakkie toe … dit was toe dat ek modderspore in my huis sien. Ek het geweet dit is nie een van ons se spore nie,” het Fanie Woensdag gesê. Hy het die spore gevolg na die venster in hul eetkamer, die gordyne oopgetrek en met ‘n skok gesien die een venster is oop en die diefwering is geknip en opgebuig.

“Half verdwaas het ek rondgekyk maar kon niks verkeerd sien nie … Eers later het ons besef my seun se Playstation en my skootrekenaar is weg … Dit is duidelik dat hulle net gevat het wat hulle spesifi ek wil hê en aan niks anders geraak of geskuif het nie,” het Fanie gesê. Hy voeg by dat hy die Maandag na die inbraak by sy versekeraars aangekom het waar hy ‘n oom ontmoet het wat in Leeustraat bly. Dié se huis is, terwyl hy in Musina was, daardie selfde aand as die inbraak by hom, deur diewe feitlik leeggesteel. Op 7 Januarie het ook mnr. Heine de Jager en sy familie by hul woning in Acaciastraat ‘n wrede ontnugtering gehad. Terwyl hulle gelê en slaap het, het booswigte ook by hulle die sitkamervenster oopgemaak, die diefwering geknip en die gesin beroof van twee rekenaartablette, ‘n skootrekenaar, kamera en vyf selfone. Vir Heine se vrou Leonie was die inbraak veral traumaties weens die besef dat die inbrekers die aand langs haar bed gestaan het waar hulle haar selfoon van die bedkassie af gesteel het. Heine vermoed die inbrekers het iets in hul slaapkamer gespuit om te

verhoed dat hulle wakker word. “Daar was ‘n groot geel kol op die

buitekant van die slaapkamer gordyn en ek is daarvan oortuig dit is iets wat hulle in ons slaapkamer gespuit het,” het Heine gesê. Die geskatte waarde van die gesteelde goedere is sowat R60 000.

Alhoewel die voorval nie in die Nuwe Uitbreiding plaasgevind het nie, het ‘n middernagtelike besoeker ook vir die 74jarige mnr. Gert van Zyl van Jeppestraat laat skrik. Omstreek 02:15 op Sondag, 22 Desember verlede

jaar, is sy rus versteur deur ‘n harde slag. “Ek het wakker geword van ‘n geraas, maar was nie seker of ek dit net gedroom het nie. (Vervolg op p. 2)

in ons slaapkamer gespuit het,” het Heine gesê. Die geskatte waarde van die gesteelde goedere is sowat R60 000.

2 24 January 2014 ZOUTPANSBERGER

Hier in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) hoef dit jou nie miljoene uit die sak te jaag om ‘n besigheid op die been te bring nie.

Huuruitgawes, belastings en lone wat vir wettige sakemense maandeliks ‘n kopseer is, word maklik ontduik as jou kantoor vanaf ‘n munisipale sypaadjie bedryf word.

Enige iemand kan nou ‘n sakeman word.As daar tans na die ellendige stand van die dorp

se sypaadjies gekyk word – en daar in ag geneem word dat die munisipaliteit in twee jaar nog nie die situasie kon beredder nie – is dit die enigste gevolgtrekking wat gemaak kan word.

Bo en behalwe die onwettige besighede wat orals vanaf die sypaadjies bedryf word, is daar ook nou sakepersele wat opskiet in die residensiële areas.

Een só ‘n besigheid is Mooketsi Towing Services in Olifantstraat 80. Omliggende inwoners in hierdie netjiese woongebied moet nou al meer as twee jaar langs die morsige erf leef. “Dit is onooglik – partykeer staan die scrap motors buite in die straat,” het ‘n inwoner vertel wat nie geïdentifiseer wou word nie.

Daar is ook glo, volgens die bure in Olifantstraat, al munisipale verkeersvoertuie by Mooketsi Towing opgemerk. Nie vir wetstoepassing nie, maar wel glo as klante.

Nog ‘n tuistebesigheid wat vrae laat ontstaan het, is ‘n skrootwerf in Groblerstraat 49, oorkant die Sewendedagse Adventiste Kerk. Hierdie perseel staan van hoek tot kant vol voertuie in verskillende stadiums van onklaarheid.

Groblerstraat, langs Fruit & Veg City, is nou ‘n plek waar onwettige motorwerktuigkundiges hulle dienste aanbied. Build It op die hoek van Kruger en Joubertstraat gebruik die sypaadjie om sement en bakstene te stoor, terwyl grondverskuiwingsmasjinerie vanaf die sypaadjie op die aangrensende leë erf uitverhuur word.

Vir die afgelope twee weke het die Zoutpans-berger ‘n antwoord vanaf munisipale bestuurder mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali probeer bekom.

Dit was egter gou duidelik dat daar nie maklik antwoorde gekry sou word op medianavrae nie. Buiten dat die munisipale woordvoerders met verlof was, het Mutshinyali sy lys van vrae eers na die “relevante departemente aangestuur vir antwoorde”. Dit was Vrydag, 10 Januarie.

Opvolgoproepe is gemaak, en Mutshinyali het belowe om teen 17 Januarie antwoorde reg te hê.

Die Zoutpansberger het Mutshinyali spesifiek gepols oor wetstoepassing rondom onwettige besigheide in beide residensiële areas asook op die sypaadjies. Hy is verder ook gevra of die persele

in Olifant en Groblerstraat van “Residensiël 1” na “Besigheid 1” hersoneer is.

Dit is ook onder sy aandag gebring dat, in die geval van Mooketsi Towing, die munisipaliteit reeds in Oktober 2011 erken het dat dié besigheid onwettig bedryf word op ‘n erf wat gesoneer is as “Residensieël 1”. In die geval van die onwettige sypaadjie mechanics het die munisipaliteit, by monde van hulle woordvoerder, mnr. Louis Bobodi, in 2013 erken dat dit ook onwettig is.

In beide gevalle het die munisipaliteit toe al beloftes gemaak om ‘n stokkie daarvoor te steek en boetes uit te deel.

Maandag, 20 Januarie, het die koerant ‘n epos ontvang vanaf Mutshinyali waarin hy erken dat die munisipaliteit verantwoordelik is vir die wetstoepassing van munisipale ordinasies rakende die sypaadjies, en dat dit wel gedoen word.

Dit is hier waar sy epos egter begin vaag word. “Ja, wetstoepassing word gedoen, en boetes is uitgereik aan dié wat die ordonasies oortree het, en ander is dienooreenkomstig gewaarsku,” het Mutshinyali in sy epos gesê. Hy het nie verder uitgebrei oor hoeveel boetes, of aan wie dit gedurende 2013 uitgereik is nie.

Besighede wat onwettig in residensiële areas bedryf word, is volgens Mutshinyali ook ‘n rare verskynsel. “Die [besighede] wat onder die aandag gekom het van die munisipaliteit is in kennis gestel en gevra om sulke aktiwiteite te staak, en hulle het gehoor gegee,” het Mutshinyali gesê.

Volgens Mutshinyali is daar geen boetes vir sulke besighede in die afgelope 24 maande uitgereik nie.

Hersoneringsvrae oor die besighede in Olifant en Groblerstraat moes weer ‘n keer by Mutshinyali opgevolg word. Hy het Dinsdag bevestig dat die erf in Groblerstraat 79 in 2012 na “Besigheid 1” hersoneer is. Hy het bevestig dat die eienaar in terme van sy proklamasie sy perseel mag gebruik om voertuie te verkoop. Die perseel mag nie vir ‘n skrootwerf gebruik word nie, en geboue moet netjies na buite vertoon ingevolge dié voorwaardes.

In die geval van Mooketsi Towing is die erf steeds ‘n residensiële erf. “Die eienaar is besig om munisipale bywette te oortree as die perseel gebruik word vir ‘n ‘insleepdiens’,” het Mutshinyali gesê. Hy het verder bevestig dat oortredingsbriewe uitgereik sal word in beide gevalle.

Teen druktyd het Mutshinyali nie terug geantwoord oor wanneer die briewe uitgereik sal word nie, en ook nie of daar aandag gegee sal word aan die sypaadjiesakemanne nie.

Munisipaliteit traag om oortreders vas te vat

Besighede wat onwettig in residensiële areas bedryf word, is volgens munisipale bestuurder Sakkie Mutshinyali ‘n rare verskynsel, en dié wat dit wel doen, is gevra om op te hou. Hierdie foto is verlede Donderdag geneem by Mooketsi Towing Services in Olifantstraat 80.

(Vervolg van p. 1) “My hele lewe het ek egter

hierdie ‘sesde sintuig’, en dié het my aangeraai om net bietjie wakker te lê en nie dadelik weer te gaan slaap nie. ‘n Rukkie later vra my vrou: ‘Wie stap in die gang?’ Die volgende oomblik gaan die ganglig aan,” het Gert vertel.

Hy het sag en versigtig hul kamerdeur oopgesluit en toe die deur oopgeruk. Groot was sy skok toe daar op daardie presiese oomblik ‘n grootgeboude man voor hom in die gang staan. Die man het Gert uit die pad gestamp en na die aangrensende kamer gehardloop. “Ek kon dit nie glo nie. Hy het in een beweging op die bed gespring en is by die stukkendgeslaande kamervenster weer uit!” Gelukkig het Gert hom betyds betrap, voordat hy iets kon steel.

Die volgende dag sou Gert by die speurders hoor dat die booswig(te) dieselfde aand ook by sy bure, die Davhanaegpaar, ingebreek het terwyl hulle tuis was. Ook hulle kon daarin slaag om die man te verwilder.

“Ek dink hierdie is die werk van ‘n sindikaat wat tans kyk

hoeveel hulle in die dorp kan skep. In meeste gevalle is die modus operandi dieselfde: Hulle breek in terwyl die huismense slaap deur ‘n venster oop te maak en die diefwering te knip. My raad is dat mense maar liewers al hul vensters in die aand moet toemaak, moet seker maak hul deure is gesluit, en nie items soos sakrekenaars en telefone laat rondlê nie. As jou hond blaf, gaan kyk maar hoekom blaf hy, maar wees net versigtig. Moet ook nie items soos tuingereedskap, klerasie en fietse buite los in die aand nie,” was Dirk se raad aan inwoners namens die dorpswag.

Daar is ook heelwat ander gevalle van huisbraak en diefstalle die afgelope twee maande aan die Zoutpansberger gerapporteer, maar daar kan nog baie meer gevalle wees. Dieselfde week waar daar by die De Jagers ingebreek is, is daar ook goedere gesteel buite mnr. Dirk du Preez se woning. Op 4 Desember is daar by De Jager se buurman oorkant die straat, mnr. Carel Breytenbach, ‘n kragopwekker gesteel. “Dit is vir my vreemd want die kragopwekker was agter die huis vasgemaak. Hulle

moes inligting gehad het,” het Carel gesê. Op 23 Desember het mnr. Tinus van der Linden van Forestryweg teruggekeer na sy huis, wat ondertussen deur inbre kers geplunder is. Hulle het die voorafgaande naweek op Waterpoort gekuier. Elektriese ware, klerasie en juwele is onder meer gesteel, ten bedrae van net meer as R50 000. Op 11 Januarie rapporteer mnr. Jacobus Smith van Acacia Woonstelle (Elandstraat) dat die battery uit sy Hyundai bakkie gesteel is. Ook in Waterbessiestraat lyk sake nie beter nie. Mev. Tshebo Legodi het aan die koerant gesê dat sy ook verlede jaar verlies gelei het vanweë diefstal. “Die situasie is tans baie sleg. Die misdaad is geweldig erg en mens voel glad nie meer veilig in jou eie huis nie,” het Tshebo gesê. (Weens die feit dat die polisie nie mis-daadsyfers wil bekend maak nie, wil die Zoutpansberger graag op hoogte bly van misdaadtendense om inwoners vroegtydig van probleme te waarsku. Inwoners wat die slagoffers van ‘n misdaad was, kan ‘n kort opsomming van gebeure e-pos na [email protected].).

Inbrake by wonings skiet die hoogte in

Nog ‘n tuiste-besigheid wat vrae laat ontstaan het, is ‘n skrootwerf in Groblerstraat 49, oorkant die Sewendedagse Adventiste Kerk. Hierdie perseel staan van hoek tot kant vol voertuie in verskillende stadiums van onklaarheid.

Die Ocean Basket restaurant in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het vir die soveelste keer die slagoffers geword van ‘n roof.

Eienaar mnr. Johan Kirsten het die week vertel wat gebeur het. Die voorval het Sondagaand plaasgevind, terwyl hy in Pretoria was.

Ongeveer 21:30 het sy bestuur der, mev. Newi Mushome, die restaurant gesluit en huis toe begin gestap saam met ‘n kelner. Mushome bly in ‘n woonstel agter Ocean Basket in Pieter Ottostraat. Dit was terwyl Mushome in haar tuinpaadjie afgestap het, dat sy ‘n kabaal

gehoor het.Drie mans het die kelner,

wat gewag het vir Mushome om veilig in haar huis te kom, aangeval.

Mushome het in die hoekie van die tuin gaan wegkruip, en toe sy hoor hoe die mans op die kelner skreeu vir die winkel se sleutels, het sy die sleutels wegge gooi oor die muur.

‘n Opsigter by Kirsten’s Druk kery, wat grens aan die agterkant van Mushome se woonstel, het die rowers gehoor en gehardloop om die polisie te ontbied.

Volgens Johan het die polisie

ook net betyds tot Mushome se redding opgedaag. Die rowers het haar intussen in die tuin gesien wegkruip en haar en die kelner in die woonstel inge dwing. Hier het die rowers hulle, saam met Mushome se twee kinders, begin slaan en skop terwyl hulle aangedring het op die winkel se sleutels.

Die rowers het op die vlug geslaan toe hulle besef die polisie is op pad.

Johan het bevestig dat die saak aangemeld is en dat die polisie die saak ondersoek. Teen druktyd was daar nog geen arrestasies gemaak nie.

There is still no progress in the town’s brutal and infamous “hand case.”

The 38yearold Freddy Azwitamisi Tshikhudo, who stands accused of the murder of Rumbidzai Manyere (36), appeared in the Louis Trichardt District Court again on Friday, 17 January. He was arrested almost eight

months ago, in April of last year, at Elti Café in Eltivillas, when he allegedly tried to rob the business by using a severed human arm.

The following day, Tshikhudo led the Makhado police to the place where the murdered Manyere’s body was found. Manyere’s right arm, both eyes and her private parts had been re

moved. Her body itself was in an advanced state of decomposition.

Tshikhudo is currently facing two counts of rape, and single counts of murder, housebreaking and robbery.

His case was postponed until 28 February. He will remain in custody until then.

Inquest follows drowning of babyThe SAPS at Musina have opened an inquest docket after a three-year-old baby drowned in a swimming pool at the mother’s work place on Mon-day.

According to the spokesperson for the Musina police, Const Dakalo Ramagwede, a 44yearold

mother, who works as a domestic worker at a local lodge, was busy cleaning when she noticed that the baby was not inside the house. “She went to look for the baby,” said Ramagwede. “Sadly, she found her inside the swimming pool.”

The woman then screamed for

help and another lady came over and jumped inside the water. She lifted the baby out of the swimming pool. “Unfortunately, the baby was already dead,” Ramagwede said. “As the police, we are calling on all mothers and guardians to always keep an eye on children.”

Die saak teen drie mense wat na bewering ‘n onwettige dobbelhuis in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) bedryf het, is voorlopig teruggetrek.

Zonica Naudé (19), haar kêrel Jacques Jansen van Vuuren (19) en Lorraine Ndivhuwo Sadiki (28) is verlede jaar in Desember gearresteer by die Internet Entertainment Lounge by die Makhado Crossing winkelkompleks. Hulle is aangekla op klagtes wat verband hou met onwettige dobbelary in terme van die nasionale en provinsiale dobbelwette. Hulle het verlede Vrydag (17de) in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof verskyn.

‘n Polisieondersoek het aan die lig gebring dat die drie glo al vir ‘n geruime tyd ‘n beweerde dobbelhuis, onder die vaandel van ‘n Internetkafee,

bedryf het. Tydens die arrestasie is daar beslag gelê op al die toerusting van die Internet Entertainment Lounge. Advertensiemateriaal buite die winkel, wat verwys na sosiale media soos Facebook en Twitter is glo gebruik om kliënte om die bos te lei.

Die rekenaars waarop daar na bewering gedobbel is, kon die koerant intussen vasstel, is Maandag aan die eienaar terugbesorg in terme van ‘n Hooggeregshofbevel. Die eienaar se identiteit kan nog nie bekend gemaak word nie, want hy mag dalk nog later vervolging in die gesig staar. Dit is juis om hierdie rede dat die saak teen Naudé, Jansen van Vuuren en Sadiki eers net voorlopig teruggetrek is – om die polisie kans te gee om hul ondersoek af te handel en die saak hofgereed te kry.

A member of the police service in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), suspected of aiding and abetting suspected robbers, has been suspended.

By Isabel Venter

Policeman suspended pending caseSgt Funanani Edwin Bugana (40) is currently

facing criminal charges after he allegedly misused state resources to supply robbers with police identification documents. Bugana is an LCRC (Local Criminal Record Centre) official, responsible for documenting crime scenes. He allegedly used his stateissued camera and computer to falsify the documents.

It was later revealed that he had also supplied the suspected robbers with a blue light and loaned them his private vehicle. Apart from being suspended, the newspaper has learned, Bugana is also facing an inhouse disciplinary hearing.

Bugana, together with the 38yearold Rudzani Victor Mphoshomali, was arrested after a botched robbery in Musina during December last year. Mphoshomali’s accomplices managed to elude arrest. After the two had had to spend Christmas and New Year in jail, they were released on R5 000 bail each. Their criminal case will be heard in the Musina Magistrate’s Court on 18 February.Sgt Funanani Edwin Bugana (40)

The infamous Doris Mthembi will now turn to the High Court for “justice” after her leave-to-appeal application was rejected.

The 41yearold Mthembi appeared in the Louis Trichardt Regional Court on Monday, asking permission to appeal her sentence. She was handed a sixyear prison stay in November of last year, when she was found guilty of perjury.

Mthembi lied to the police when she accused her exhusband, Mr Goddard Tendani Mugwena, of kidnapping and raping her.

Mthembi, by means of her advocate, argued that the court had been too harsh and unfair when it handed down a custodial sentence to her. “The court was not merciful when they gave a direct imprisonment sentence, forgetting to take into consideration that she has little children to take care off,” said the advocate, Mr Ndleve. “She is not a danger to the public, as the court claimed in its verdict, and we are sure that another court would not have given such a harsh sentence, or maybe even a suspended sentence.”

Magistrate Pat Cloete did not agree and rejected

the application. He remarked that the cellphone evidence, brought by the State, was just too damming. “Those records disproved her version of the story beyond any reasonable doubt,” said Cloete.

On Monday, the court room was packed with family and friends of Doris who pitched up in her support. All of them were wearing white Tshirts, imprinted with slogans and Doris’s face. On the front of the Tshirts the question “Where’s justice for Doris?” with a somewhat dubious citation from

the Bible – Isaiah 53:15 was displayed. This particular chapter of Isaiah ends at verse 12.

After Mthembi was led back to the prison

vehicle that would take her back to Matatshe Prison, her supporters shouted at a journalist not to take photos. One supporter laughed, and told magistrate Cloete that they would meet again. Outside of the court room there was pandemonium when Mthembi’s sister got into a screaming match with Goddard, shouting at him: “You are a rapist!”

At the time of going to press, Mthembi’s legal team had yet to lodge an application with the High Court to have her case reviewed.

The sound of gunshots broke the night silence in the vicinity of KFC Makhado on Monday when a victim of a botched robbery chased after two suspects.

The incident occurred near the KFC on the corner of Songozwi and Grobler Street. From eyewitness reports it seems as if the victim had bought some goods from a nearby supermarket and was walking along the road when he was approached

by the two robbers. They apparently threatened him with an object that looked like a firearm.

According to the communications officer at the Limpopo police’s media centre, Const Tsietsi Lamola, it is alleged that the victim of the alleged attempted armed robbery took out his licensed firearm. “He fired two warning shots,” he said. “The two unknown men fled the alleged crime scene.”

According to bystanders,

the alleged robbers ran down Grobler Street and vanished into some of the residential properties, with the victim chasing after them. As the victim turned to go back and collect his groceries, people who were standing in front the KFC noticed one of the suspects scuttling across the road from the side of the bird sanctuary. They shouted, “There is one of them!” but the suspect was gone.

Thief who wants to get clean gets fined A slippery soap thief found himself face to face with the law.

Tshifhiwa Nicholas Mabogo (22) appeared before the Louis Trichardt District Court on Monday on a single count of shoplifting. According to information supplied by the police, they were summoned to the Bonjour conve

nience store at the Total garage in Krogh Street to investigate a case of shoplifting.

The police then noticed Mabogo walking along Krogh Street, with a face towel hanging over his shoulder. Police questioned Mabogo, asking him to produce proof of payment for the towel and a bar of soap he had with

him to the value of R23. When Mabogo failed to produce any proof, he was taken back to Bonjour, where security videos of the incident were reviewed. Mabogo was identified as the culprit.

On Monday, he was found guilty and sentenced to a fine R500 or one month imprisonment.

imprisonment sentence ...”

A pensioner discovered that he had been de-frauded when he used his SASSA card this month

“Please, let all those getting oldage grants read this, and if they can’t read, let their children read for them. I want to warn them to be very alert,” said Mr Joggie Pieterse (74) of Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

Pieterse bought goods to the value of R174.90 at a shop in the Makhado Crossing mall with his SASSA card and asked the cashier to withdraw R300 for him. The cashier completed the transaction. “The cashier then said that a mistake had occurred and it had to be done again, whereafter the cashier did another transaction with my card, asking me for my pin number a second time,” said Pieterse. These transactions took place on New Year’s Day. The amount withdrawn should have been R474.90.

On 5 January, Pieterse went to withdraw money from a bank. “I realized that I was short of R200,” Pieterse said. He tried the ATMs of a couple of banks to get more information, but only Capitec Bank gave some information, which was the balance on the card. Pieterse decided to withdraw another R580 at an ATM before that got lost as well. The next step was to get a statement of the transactions to show that it did not match his till slips.

He called SASSA’s customer care line and held on for more than seven minutes. When he got through, he found that he couldn’t hear what the

person was saying, due to unclear speech. Pieterse therefore drove to his son, Francois, who was in Levubu at the time and asked him to phone.

They found that the only way that they could obtain a statement of the transactions on Pieterse’s SASSA card was to give an email address to Grindrod Financial Services. His son supplied an email address and they eventually received a statement (photo below), showing that R674.90 had been withdrawn at Pick n Pay instead of R474.90. The R200 was indeed gone. “I went back to Pick n Pay and the manager was very approachable and accommodating. I was fortunate to receive my R200 back on 8 January, but I was worried that this could happen to many pensioners in different places, without their even realizing it,” Pieterse said.

The manager of the local Pick n Pay, Mr Louis Jordaan, said on 13 January that the problem with Mr Pieterse had been sorted out and they were busy with procedures regarding the cashier involved. “You work with people and anything can happen, but we handle such cases immediately, following our internal procedures,” Jordaan said.

SASSA confirmed on 16 January that a pensioner will not be able to get a statement at a bank. Should the beneficiary of a social grant require a statement, it can be sent via email or fax. Should the beneficiary be unable to receive a statement by any of these ways, he or she can go to the SASSA office and ask them to get a printed statement .

Pension money gone after cashier’s “help”

“In future I think I shall withdraw the whole grant amount at once,” said Pieterse. That still might not be the solution, since carrying a lot of cash poses its own risks.

Hierdie groepie nuwe leerling-onderwysers het aan die begin van die jaar by Laerskool Louis Trichardt aangesluit vir hul indiensopleiding. Hulle is, van links na regs, Ruan Venter (seniorfase Graad 4 tot 9 Afrikaans), Heidi-Lene Jonck (intermediêrefase Graad 4 tot 9), Leandra Bester (BSc Plant- en dierkunde en seniorfase Graad 3) en Miché König (intermediêr- en seniorfase Graad 1 en 2).

Wat is dit dié? Is dit ‘n park, ‘n oop ruimte of bloot ‘n baie groot, leë erf in Makhado (Louis Trichardt)?

In verskeie koerantadvertensies gedurende die laaste gedeelte van 2013 het die Makhado Munisipaliteit eers kennis gegee van sy voorneme om “Erf 1640” te verkoop en later om “Openbare oopruimte 1640” permanent te sluit.

In ‘n gesprek met die voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging en ook die segspersoon oor toerisme en omgewingsbewaring, me. Inga Gilfillan, is gevra wat die geskiedenis, stand en status is van dié perseel. Dit is in die jare veertigs in “Louis Trichardt Uitbreiding 1” beplan tussen Messinaweg, Krugerstraat en Louis Bothastraat in ‘n nuwe woonbuurt en is later as aantreklike parkgebied uitgelê.

Vir etlike dekades was erf 1640 algemeen onder inwoners bekend as Aalwynpark, nadat ‘n indrukwekkende aalwyntuin by hierdie hoof ingang aan die noordekant van die dorp uitgelê is. Messinaweg was toe nog die dorp se hoofstraatverlenging na die grootpad na die noorde, voordat die huidige N1 die nasionale hoofpad na die destydse oostekant van die dorp verskuif en die noordelike uitgang van Messinaweg gesluit is.

“Dit was aanvanklik kundig beplant met rotstuinbeddings en ‘n wye verskeidenheid aalwynsoorte, wat van heinde en verre belangstelling by plantliefhebbers en toeriste van oral ontlok het. Veral in die wintermaande was dit ‘n kleurvolle skouspel wat van alle kante van die aalwynpark waarderende aandag getrek het. Dit het aan die ingang van Rivierstraat, Krugerstraat en Messinaweg ‘n besondere aansien en natuurskoon besorg en ‘n aantreklike,

Wat hou die toekoms in vir mooi ou Aalwynpark?

rustige uitvlug vir die res van die inwoners wat die park met sy welige skoonheid kon benut,” het Gilfillan gesê.

Met die verwisseling van munisipale hoofde van openbare parke en tuine, is die aalwyn aanplanting in die park en langs Rivierstraat en Krugerstraat aanvanklik bloot verwaarloos. Met die aanstelling van ‘n nuwe park tuinboukundige vanuit die Hoëveld, is in die vroeë negentigs alle beddings oral in die munisipale parke doelbewus verwyder en in hul plek is bloot grasperke en bome geplant. Die aalwynbeddings, tesame met die sorgvuldiggeplaaste rotstuine, is ook met groot koste heeltemal uit die aalwynpark verwyder. Weinige verdere versorging het plaasgevind. Die aalwynpark het

verval tot bloot ‘n oop, boomryke ruimte met dikwels oorgroeide gras, wat strafloos met modderkortpad deur motoriste uitgery en met plastiek, blikke en bottels besoedel word. In die hele voormalige aal wynpark is tans net

drie enkele aalwynplante nog op uiteenlopende plekke opspoorbaar. Onder die aantreklike koeltebome is tans geen voorsiening vir vullishouers nie.

“Daar is bloot die oorblyfsel van twee verwaarloosde betonbankies oor. Dit is heeltemal tot niet, net soos die dorp se oorspronklike swembadkompleks. Maar net twee van die belangrike openbare bates wat bloot stilweg net toegelaat is om heeltemal tot niet te gaan,” het Gilfillan gesê.

In die dorpsbeplanningskantore is vasgestel dat die sluiting en verkoping van oop ruimte 1640 beoog word, wat deur ‘n aansoeker gekoop en ontwikkel wil word as ‘n kerkgebou met ouditorium en kerkkantoorsentrum.

“Daar is bloot die oorblyfsel van twee verwaarloosde betonbankies oor. Dit is heeltemal tot niet, net soos die dorp se

oorspronklike swembadkompleks. Maar net twee van die belangrike openbare bates wat bloot stilweg net toegelaat is

om heeltemal tot niet te gaan”

Op Maandag, 20 Januarie, het die uitvoerende bestuurslede van Venetia Myn, onder leiding van mnr. Ludi Von Maltitz (algemene bestuurder), Hoërskool Eric Louw in Musina besoek. Von Maltitz (bo regs) het die kinders toegespreek en weereens die kernwaardes van respek en om altyd jou persoonlike beste te lewer, benadruk. Tydens hierdie besoek het hy baie-gewaardeerde skryfbehoeftepakkies aan elke personeellid (onder) oorhandig . Von Maltitz het die skool verseker van Venetia Myn se volgehoue ondersteuning.

• HERVORMERS HOU STRAATKAFEE Moeg gewerk op `n Vrydagaand of nie lus vir kosmaak nie?

“Heerlike pannekoek, boereworsrolle, hamburgers en kerrieen rys … U vra net en ons voorsien!” is die uitnodiging van die Hervormde Kerk Louis Trichardtgemeente. Hulle hou op Vrydag, 24 Januarie, vanaf 12:30 tot 19:00 (en elke Vrydag daarna) ‘n heerlike straatkafee op hul kerkterrein oorkant Foodzone.

“U kan ook bestel by 084 209 5189, maar moet die kos self kom haal,” voeg die gemeente by.• OBSERVATION EVENING The Soutpansberg Astronomy Club (SAC) will hold its fi rst stargazing evening of the year on Saturday, 25 January, from sunset onwards.

The SAC’s stargazing evenings are open to the general public and everyone is welcome. The last quarter moon rises a couple of hours after midnight, giving us ample time for dark skies. The planet Jupiter was at opposition early in January and is well positioned for observing.

Jupiter’s most famous feature is its Great Red Spot (GRS). The spot was named around 1878 when it turned a vivid brick red, but in recent decades it has generally been a much less conspicuous pale tan. The Red Spot is a vast, longlived storm, spinning like a cyclone. However, unlike lowpressure cyclones and hurricanes on earth, the GRS rotates in a counterclockwise direc

tion in Jupiter’s southern hemisphere, showing that it is a highpressure system. The GRS will be near the central meridian at 20:97 and well placed for viewing. A shadow transit of one of the four Galilean moons, Ganymede, begins at 20:04 and ends at 23:22 and during this time one can observe the moon’s shadow as it crosses the Jovian disk.

Some of the deepsky objects that will be viewed are the Great Nebula in Orion (M42), a supernova remnant, the Crab Nebula (M1), NGC 2070, the Tarantula Nebula, as well as the ‘new star”, Nova Cent 2013, amongst many others.

Skole, leerlinge en onderwysers van die Sout-pansberg-Noordkring is Vrydag, 17 Januarie, vereer vir hulle prestasies gedurende 2013. Die geleentheid was die Departement van Onderwys se Noordkring prysuitdeling vir uitnemendheid wat in Musina gehou is.

“Ons onderwysers in ons streek is so betroubaar soos ‘n Toyota,” het kringbestuurder dr. Sampie Phaswana tydens sy toespraak by dié geleentheid gesê. Hy het ook van die geleentheid gebruik gemaak om verlede jaar se matrieks geluk te wens, en hierdie jaar se matrieks te bemoedig in hul studies. “Soos hulle in die Vrystaat sê: ‘Haak Vrystaat’, laat die spele vir 2014 begin en ons ons hande aan die ploeg slaan,” het Phaswana ter afsluiting gesê.

Tydens die geleentheid is sertifikate en trofeë oorhandig aan al die leerlinge wat onderskeidings behaal het, asook skole wat ‘n 100% matriekslaagsyfer behaal het gedurende 2013. Hoërskool Eric Louw, Mopani Intermediêr en Messina Hoërskool is beloon vir hulle 100% matriekslaagsyfer.

Die Mopani Intermediêre Skool is ook aangewys as die beste skool in die Noordkring. Die beste Graad 12 leerling, Yolanda Mafukata, was ook afkomstig van Mopani. Sy het sewe

onderskeidings behaal, naamlik in Tshivenda (huistaal), Engels eerste addisionele taal, fisiese wetenskap, landbouwetenskap, lewenswetenskap, wiskunde en lewensoriëntering.

Phaswana het haar geluk gewens met haar harde werk en die nuwe matrieks aangemoedig om net so hard te werk.

“Ons wil in die komende jare sien dat ons slaagsyfers moet verbeter,” het hy gesê.

Top skole word vereer

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

Jakobus 1:13-18

Sonde is verskriklik want dit beteken die volmaakte wet van God word

verbreek. Die Here het gesê: “Die loon van die sonde is die dood.” (Rom. 6:23).

Al die probleme en ellende in die wêreld is as gevolg van sonde. Ons is almal van nature sondaars. Ons kan nie help om te sondig nie want ons het ons sondige natuur van Adam geërf.

‘n Engel van God het aan Josef verskyn en vir hom gesê: “Sy (Maria) sal ‘n Seun in die wêreld bring, en jy moet Hom Jesus noem, want dit is Hy wat Sy volk van hul sondes sal verlos.”

Christene is mense wie se natuur verander is. Hulle haat nou sonde en is lief vir God en lewe in ‘n lewende verhouding met Hom, deur Jesus Christus ons Here. So word ons verander na die beeld van Christus. Die Heilige Gees is die Een wat dit in God se kinders doen.

Hoe doen Hy dit?Deur die Bybel. Daar lees ons hoe

God wil hê dat ons moet lewe. Deur die Woord leer ons gehoorsaamheid.

Die Heilige Gees gebruik ook ons gewete. Die Here gebruik ons gewete om ons te laat besef dat ons gesondig het. Luister na jou gewete.

1 Joh. 2:1: “Ek skrywe aan julle, my liewe kinders, dat julle nie moet sondig nie. En as een van ons sondig - ons het Jesus Christus, die regverdige, as ons voorspraak by die Vader.”

Dus, wanneer one berou en belydenis opreg is, word ons deur God vergewe, op grond van Jesus se dood aan die kruis.

Die selfoon se gelui dring stadig deur Daisy se slaapnewels.

Op sigself is dit ‘n buitengewone gebeurtenis: elkeen wat vir Daisy ken weet dat sy twee ure nadat sy haar oë oopmaak eers in staat is tot sinvolle kommunikasie. Veral op ‘n Maandagoggend.

“Ek hoop jy’t vervlaks goeie rede om my hierdie tyd van die oggend te bel,” grom Daisy sonder om te kyk wie praat.

“More, mooiste meisie in die hele wêreld! Is jou oë nog so groen soos die Springbokvlakte na ‘n goeie reënseisoen?” Die welluidende stem wilwil vir Daisy bekend klink.

“Wie wil weet?” mor Daisy ongeskik. “En sê sommer gou ook wat jy wil sê; die hoenders het nog nie begin kraai nie en dan hoef ek nog nie maniere te hê nie!”

Die man bulder soos hy lag. “Ag, ou Daisy, ek is so bly party dinge bly altyd dieselfde! Gaan maak gou vir jou koffie dan bel ek jou oor tien minute terug as jy kan sense praat.” Sonder verdere omhaal sit die man die foon neer.

Vier ure later is Daisy op pad Pretoria toe; vierentwintig uur later stop die konvooi safarivoertuie anderkant Martin’s Drift grenspos vir ‘n laat ontbyt. Die groot man met die bulderstem en groot baard sit sy arm om Daisy se skouers.

“Ja toe, Daisy. Hierdie is die laaste keer wat ek die kookwerk doen. Dis net om jou vir oulaas te oriënteer van nou af is jy in beheer van al die kos en catering. Vanaand is jou vuurdoop daar by Nata waar ons gaan kamp. Hierdie Duitsers gaan lekker honger wees! Maar hél, is ek bly

dat jy op so kort kennisgewing kon uithelp op hierdie safari!” Daisy lag uit haar maag uit.

“Baardman, jy weet daar is vir my geen groter lekker as om in die bos rond te flenter nie! Baie dankie dat jy aan my gedink het toe jou sjef jou in die steek laat!”

Die tien dae in Botswana word ‘n warrelwind van onvergeetlike sonopkomste wanneer die kamp opgepak word, die opslaan van die kamp voor sononder sodat die gaste elke aand met ‘n glas in die hand langs ‘n groot vuur kan begin. Die natuur is besonder gul – daar is troppe olifante, kameelperde, koedoes, leeus. In die delta verlig die baldadige gesig van duisende waterlelies die stres van heeltyd op die uitkyk wees vir krokodille en seekoeie.

Daisy is in haar element. Elke dag is vir haar ‘n bladsy uit die joernaal van Karin Blixen – sy kombineer die aardsheid van Afrika met perfekgedekte tafels, lapservette en pragtige disse. Daar is bottels SuidAfrikaanse shiraz saam met die individuele Beef Wellingtons wat in ‘n ysterpot gebak is, yskoue chardonnay saam met die hoender in kappertjiesous. Geen moeite is te veel vir die moeilike en kritiese Duitsers nie. Daisy se energie is onblusbaar – sy is eerste op in die oggend om die kamp met moerkoffie en beskuit wakker te maak, sy gaan slaap eers nadat die laaste skottelgoed skoon en weggepak is.

Die laaste aand van die safari kom sit Baardman by Daisy voor die vuur. Hy gooi nog ‘n stomp op en maak Daisy se wynglas weer vol sonder om te vra.

“Daisy, ek kan half nie my oë glo nie,” kom Baardman sonder omhaal tot die punt. “Jy weet ek is jou grootste fan, al het jy my hart gebreek toe jy daai stadsmannetjie bo my gekies het. Maar ek het wragtig nie geglo jy kan in die bos oorleef nie. Ek moet nou maar eerlik wees, as dit nie was dat ek so dêm desperaat was vir ‘n

sjef nie, sou ek nooit gedroom het om jou saam te vat nie. Jy was nog altyd so vol geite en vrese – jy het op die naaste tafel gespring en gegil as ‘n spinnekop net na jou kant toe kyk. Nou dra jy boetse en maak die skerpioene en spinnekoppe vir die gaste dood. Wat het gebeur?”

Vir lank antwoord Daisy nie. Sy kyk stip in die vuur en haar gedagtes loop ‘n voetpaadjie.

“Ek dink dit gebeur as mens regtig grootword, Baardman. As mens nie meer op ander mense staatmaak nie en jouself meer vertrou,” antwoord sy ernstig. “Dan eers kan mens werklik van jouself gee.”

Terug in Pretoria sit Daisy en Baardman by die Boardwalk en kyk vir die laaste son oor die klein mensgemaakte watergat. Die Duitse toeriste is songebak en moeg in die vliegtuig op pad Frankfurt toe. Iemand anders dra die drank en kos aan vir Daisy en Baardman.

“Terwyl ons nou so lekker ontspan, Daisy, kan ons net sowel ook by die lekker gedeelte uitkom. Die Duitsers het vir jou ‘n tip gelos. ‘n Gróte. Regtig gróót. Hulle was baie beïndruk met ons diens; het ons sommer klaar bespreek vir nog ‘n trippie volgende jaar. Hier’s jou koevertjie, Daisy. Ek het sommer jou salaris vir die week ook daarby gesit. Jy sal dit nie glo nie, maar dit alles saam is amper genoeg vir ‘n deposito op ‘n oulike kar...”

Sy loer vinnig in die koevert. Haar mond hang oop toe sy weer vir Baardman kyk.

“Nou toe, Daisy. My volgende safari is eers oor twee weke. Wat sê jy daarvan dat ek jou sommer self terugvat plaas toe en dan kuier ek ‘n bietjie daar by jou? Daai stadskêreltjie is mos nie meer in jou lewe nie en ek kan nie wag om meer uit te vind oor die Daisy wat nou grootgeword het nie!”

Vir ‘n verandering het Daisy geen woorde toe sy in Baardman se oë kyk nie.

Daisy, nog nie heeltemal die plaasmeisie wat sy veronderstel is om te wees nie, kry ‘n uitnodiging om op safari te gaan. Te midde van die harde werk begin sy nuwe dinge leer van haarself en kom agter die tydperk in die bos het sy merk gelaat.

Brief

Dankie aan almal wat sukses van Leeuloop by hoërskool verseker het

Letter

“Politicians should show the same respect for the laws of the country”

Our new and fragile democracy is slipping irrevocably into an inev

itable “Idiocracy”! Our elected leaders are bulldozing idiotic legislation through our parliament, forcing courts to uphold these “laws” and expecting the electorate to accept and applaud their leadership. Actions which can only be described as such are being celebrated with the trumpeting of vuvuselas and the riotous dancing of illdisciplined throngs of an intimidated and vulnerable population.

I refer specifically to an incident at about 09:30 on a happily busy Saturday morning at the N1 / Songozwi St intersection. (Perhaps the busy activity on the intersection was obscured by the election propaganda poster illegally fitted to a traffic sign).

A cavalcade of high and mighty ministerial importance was en route to some or other indescribably important rendezvous north of Louis Trichardt. It’s always surprising that the wheels of government turn so tediously slowly when there is work that needs doing ... no amount of redtapecutting is able to speed it up, but it is regularly necessary to zoom politicians to and fro between appointments (which presumably were made in advance) at a vehicle speed and driving style which is illegal and seriously dangerous not only to the politicians and traffic authorities involved, but also to the unfortunate vassals who happen to be sharing the road with them.

This particular blue light cavalcade, consisting of two trafficdepartmentdriven escorts, two blackwindowed, very flashy, black SUVs (surely clear glass would en

hance the publicity of the individual and give the opportunity for an occasional royal wave, or am I being naive?) and a rear guard, blasted through the said intersection at great speed, ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IN THE FACE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ma king no apparent effort to slow down or in any way acknowledge the stop signs. What kind of traffic safety training have these traffic officers had? What would have become of the hapless citizen, involved in his own little lifethreatening emergency, had he attempted to pull such a cavalier move? Reckless driving? A breathalyzer test? Most certainly an arrest, which is unthinkable on a Saturday morning. What would the outcome have been had there been an inexperienced driver at the stop street? These and other questions must surely come to mind.

I had the misfortune of being on a motorcycle approaching the intersection from the north and was acutely aware of my vulnerability should this idiotic behaviour go wrong, which it most thankfully did not.

This entire incident happened under the watchful eye of our country’s leader in the form of a ruling party advertisement which boldly proclaims “ANC live (sic) ANC leads.” The outrageous driving of the traffic officers leading the cavalcade and the authority that dictated it, did NOTHING to demonstrate either of the two sentiments expressed on the advertisement. What gives any politician the right to so flagrantly flaunt the very legislation that they promulgate? What gives

him or her the right to senselessly and recklessly endanger the lives of the very people who elected them in the first place. And then apparently be above the law when brought to book?

It appears that the ancient social law of “idiots elect, idiots rule” applies.

How tragic that this has become acceptable in this democracy which boasts one of the most modern constitutions on earth.

My appeal to the ministers of transport, safety and security, local government, all of them, and even the very President himself, is to start behaving in a manner which is worthy of emulating and is worthy of the approval of the electorate

AND civil servants. Lead from the front, by and with the example of “Leadership” and perhaps this country will be able to claw its way out of the pathetic state in which it now finds itself.

To road users in general my appeal is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Don’t succumb to this slide into lawlessness and anarchy on our roads. We cannot expect the rule of law to just happen, we have to make it happen by being examplesetting, lawabiding citizens. Perhaps our “leaders” will eventually turn and follow our example.

Bruce Murray.Makhado (Louis Trichardt)

Ek wil graag almal bedank wat bygedra het tot die sukses van

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se jaarlikse Leeuloop op 16 Januarie.

Graag wil ek die volgende instansies bedank vir hulle oop hande en harte teenoor ons skool. Dankie mev. Leanda Le Cornu (van Fuji Shop vir die borg van die medaljes), Coca Cola Fortune (vir die begin en eindpunt, Coke, musiek en

baniere), Leach Printers (vir die bemarkingsmateriaal), die Soutpansberg Atletiekklub, Vuma Lubs, Salon Finesse, Archer Paint, SPAR, Roman’s Pizza, Hennetjie Nes, Rods & Reels, Cycle Centre, Oom Dirk en die buurtwag, Limpopo Melkery en Hoërskool vir die waterpunte, Heine de Jager se geduld as “sweep vehicle” en AVON.

The Soutpansberg area has a wide variety of places to see and things to do, from hiking trails to bushman caves, picnicking beside waterfalls, fi shing or visiti ng a local gallery.

The Soutpansberg Chamber of Commerce and Soutpansberg Tourism will feature local desti nati ons to reveal our local secret trea-sures, hidden from the hustle and bustle of busy lives; we invite you to discover these sought aft er serene spots as we open up the treasure-chest of our lovely Soutpansberg area.

Tourism Show Case: Madi a Thavha LodgeApart from being a beauti fully located haven at the foot of the Soutpansberg, Madi a Thavha Mountain Lodge also boasts an extraordinary heritage museum, art gallery and arts-and-craft s shop with a disti nct Soutpansberg fl avour.

The Dancing Fish Gallery at the lodge exhibits contemporary artworks from local arti sts and houses an exquisite exhibiti on of the history of the Soutpansberg, vividly explaining how all its peoples shaped the region from ancient ti mes unti l now. The curators of this truly world-class heritage museum are internati onally respected anthropologists Petra Terblanche and Harold Kolkman.

Dutch owner Marcelle Bosch, a formidable sup-porter of rural development in the surrounding local communiti es, got her feet fi rmly planted in the red African soil nine years ago, when she and her partner Aart bought this farm 10km west of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) on the Vivo road (R522) and built up the lodge from scratch.

Madi a Thavha now specialises in sustainable tourism and is a four-star, Fair Trade-listed lodge (an internati onal quality rati ng) to which former guests habitually return and rave about. “Really friendly, informed and well-trained staff , wonder-ful, authenti c art and craft shop with quality items. Outrageous personalised service,” are comments frequently popping up in the visitors’ books. Madi a Thavha routi nely hosts interesti ng guests who become part of a growing family of kindred spirits with an affi nity for simpler, honest, healthy and sustainable living.

The lodge has neat catered and self-catering units oozing the culture-rich fl air of the region. Madi a Thavha has a wide range of tours or pack-ages on off er too: their birding trips or visits to local Venda and Tsonga arti sts on day-trips (self-drive or guided, with picnic baskets if ordered) are the most popular. “Visitors like to experience local customs and cultures fi rsthand, such as traditi onal dances, medicines, indigenous food, arts and craft

made in authenti c homesteads. Drumming at arti st Thomas Kubayi’s studio in rural Venda, as well as the sight of majesti c baobabs in the setti ng sun on a dust road, is always a hit,’ says Marcelle.

The restaurant off ers a set menu of healthy and delicious three-course evening meals and can accommodate 18-20 people at a ti me (excluding the pool dining area that caters exclusively for guests). Day visitors who would like to book meals - breakfast, lunch or dinner - can phone Marcelle to do so. All bookings must be done at least one day in advance for visits to the museum or art-and-craft shop or to hike to the huge baobab at the top. The museum fee is R20 per adult and R10 for children under 12 and the restaurant will be open during the day for coff ee and the ‘sweet or sandwich’ of the day. They also off er conference faciliti es for small groups of fewer than 20 people.

By Tshifhiwa Mukwevho

The Zoutpansberger’s office were inundated with telephone calls last Thursday from hawkers in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). They claimed that the officials from the municipality had been mistreating them for the past two weeks.

When a journalist arrived at the scene near Tasty Snacks in Burger Street, a group of hawkers was caucusing about their plight.

“Our municipality is out of order – how can they say we must go and operate our business at the Eltivillas bus terminal?” said one elderly lady. “Don’t they know that there’s no business down there?”

Ladies and youths produced their vendor’s licences which they had secured from the department which deals with traffic control at the Makhado Municipality. They claim that they are legal hawkers and request the municipality to stop chasing them from the streets.

“How will we support our families if we stop selling?” said Ms Florah Manenzhe (56), who started selling in the town’s streets in 1993. “I live in Tshikota, and I have got six mouths to feed.”

Emmanuel Muleya (29) has been a licensed RICA agent for the past three years. “I have seen

youths my age get into crime because there are no jobs available for most of us,” he said.

“They say we mustn’t conduct our business on this spot; where must we go now? All I am doing here is vuk’uzienzele (get on to your feet and do it yourself) but I am being ill treated. This is what musician BlackJahman sings about when he says municipalities persecute the hawkers.”

Another stallowner, Ms Konanani Kwinda (54), who operates public phones and sells snacks, said she had never neglected to pay for her licence. “People are selling illegal cigarettes publicly all over the town and they are doing nothing about it. Why us? What wrong did we do to deserve this kind of humiliation?”

The spokesperson for the Makhado Munici

pality, Mr Louis Bobodi, referred the newspaper to the Corporate Support and Shared Services’ office in the municipality. The human resources and labour relations manager, Adv Michael Makhado, acknowledged receipt of our media inquiry.

“Kindly take note that the email below has since been referred to the relevant directorate and our PR will get back to you in due course,” responded Adv Makhado.

Hawkers at war with Makhado Municipality

Stall owner Ms Konanani Kwinda (54) says that she is a licensed vendor.

A disgruntled group of hawkers in Makhado stand together and talk about their plight.

Mokopane Besigheidskamer bied op 7 Febru-arie 2014 ‘n halfdag seminaar aan rondom die gewysigde swart ekonomiese bemagtingskodes (SEB) soos gepubliseer aan die einde van 2013.

Die gewysigde SEB kodes het ‘n wesenlike impak op besighede en, alhoewel die kodes eers vanaf Oktober 2014 deur agentskappe gemeet word, moet besighede al in Januarie 2014 met die implementering daarvan begin.

Die SEB kodes gaan onder andere ook bespreek word in die konteks van ander bestaande sektor kodes, asook die mynbousektor se SEB vereistes.

Die aanbieder is Louis Mclaren, ‘n spesialis op die gebied van SEB, wat al sedert die eerste SEB kodes se publisering in 2007 besighede bystaan om die spesifieke wetgewing te verstaan en die nodige voldoening daaraan te implementeer.

“Ons wil op die dag seker maak dat besighede die impak van die gewysigde kodes verstaan en ook die geleentheid bied om die vrae te vra wat nodig is,” sê Gerrit van der Veen, Mokopane Besigheidskamer se president. “Onder die nuwe kodes staar meeste besighede ‘n aansienlike verandering in SEB vlakke in die gesig en dit is krities dat besluitnemers ingelig moet wees om die potensiële negatiewe te kan bestuur.” Die seminaar begin om 08:30 vir 09:00 by NG Hulp en Hoop Gemeentesentrum in HF Verwoerdstraat, Mokopane, en eindig om 13:00. Koste beloop R50 vir ‘n lid van enige besigheidskamer, mits bespreking via sy besigheidskamer gedoen word, anders is dit R100. Besprekings en navrae kan by Mokopane Besigheidskamer gedoen word via epos by [email protected] of soggens by 015 491 8458.

“Our municipality is out of order – how can they say we

must go and operate our busi-ness at the Eltivillas bus ter-

minal?” said one elderly lady. “Don’t they know that there’s

no business down there?”

Is dit dalk rooimiere? Hoe ookal, dié uitgelate jongklomp was heel voor met die wegspringslag tydens Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se jaarlikse Leeuloop Pretdraf. Die ouer garde het maar agterna gekom. Lesers kan na nog foto’s van die pretdraf gaan kyk op www.zoutpansberger.co.za

Gerhart Meyer het die 4km Leeuloop kaalvoet gedraf. “So halfpad deur het ek besluit die plakkies ding gaan nie werk nie,” het hy na die tyd gesê. Hy is een van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se leerlinge wat aan die skool se jaarlikse pretdraf, die Leeuloop, deelgeneem het verlede Donderdag

Die “Glamorous Gatsbies” het die oog gevang in hulle helder pienk-en-swart kleredrag. Hulle het verlede Donderdag aan die Leeuloop Pretdraf by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt deelgeneem.

“Nicki Minaj” en “Katie Perry” het ook verlede Donderdag deelgeneem aan die jaarlikse pretdraf (Leeuloop) van die Hoërskool Louis Trichardt. Hierdie jaar se tema was “Laat jou lig skyn”.

The South African National Parks (SANParks) has re-sponded to a public outcry on its decision to euthanize an elephant that had flipped over a vehicle belonging to a visiting British couple, injuring the oc-cupants on 30 December 2013.

Speaking from the Kruger National Park, the managing executive of this iconic park, Mr Abe Sibiya, said the incident was a consequence of parks’ allowing people to enjoy the natural environment; unfortunately, some did so in an irresponsible manner. “While it is expected in an environment such as the Kruger National Park that human and animal conflict will always occur, it is also vitally important that members of the public visiting various national parks should always adhere to the rules.”

Sibiya said while the park could understand the public outcry and anger towards the management, it was critical for the public to have confidence in the park management. “The park is managed by adequately qualified officials who are able to make informed and appropriate decisions at any given time.”

According to Sibiya, the decision to euthanize the animal was not taken lightly but based on the information from very experienced rangers’ assessment that the animal was likely to attack tourist vehicles in the future. “It is for this reason that we appeal to our patrons to act in a responsible manner and give such information as quickly as possible, rather than share it on social media platforms.”

He said that, to bring clo

sure to the matter, SANParks would need the cooperation of the visitors who had taken the video. “The law stipulates that evidence such as this should be accompanied by a written statement from eyewitnesses as the footage cannot be the only permissible evidence in order to sanction any fine against the alleged perpetrators.”

“Tourists need to change their behavior when on selfgame drives … we drive this message in our communication at checkin points, on our brochures and on the permits. It is totally impossible to have constant policing of holidaymakers as the park’s resources are already stretched with many operations going on at the same time,” concludes Sibiya.

SANParks responds to public outrage

A former lecturer at the University of Venda, Prof Jaco Kruger, is the editor of a new collec-tion of Venda ngano stories. Kruger is attached to the School of Music at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North West University (NWU).

Entitled The girls in the baobab: Venda stories from the Limpopo Valley (2013), the collection contains 43 ngano stories translated into English. Ngano are short stories that integrate speech with chanting and singing. The translations are accompanied by their original Tshivenda texts, song transcriptions and interpretations, while the entire collection is discussed in a comprehensive introduction.

The collection was documented from 2005 to 2011 in the Niani district by Kruger and Mr Mathuvhelo Mavhetha and translated by Rev Pfananani Masase and Mrs Tshifhiwa Mashau.

It is the third in a series on Venda verbal musical arts, focusing especially on the ngano genre. It has been produced under the auspices of a wider research project into local forms of musical art in South Africa, conducted by the School of Music at North West University (Potchefstroom Campus).

According to Kruger, the ngano project is an attempt to document as much as possible “of a rapidly disappearing art form. Ngano stories are of ancient, precolonial origin and have decreasing value in a changing world. Ngano performance no longer is a widespread communal activity, and very few people are able to recall

ngano stories from their earlier lives. It appears as if current the older generation is the last to carry memories of this once vital performance art.”

Contrary to popular belief, Kruger said, ngano are not mere “fireside tales” for children.

“The ngano genre in Africa is one of the foundations of morality and social relations, since they confirm and critically evaluate social norms and roles.”

He added that the ngano project welcomes aboard anyone concerned about the disappearance of ngano and asks interested persons to contact him at [email protected] or 072 539 1410.

Bo: Tydens Hoërskool L o u i s T r i c h a r d t se Bokkesport op Woens dag was daar ook letterlik tyd vir ‘n bietjie Bokkesports. Die skool se hoofseun, Daniel Coetzee (onder regs), het van die seuns gewys hoe mens maklik kan hoogspring.

Iné du Plessis word deur ma Sanri en ‘n maat ondersteun nadat sy ‘n besering opgedoen het in die 300m Hekkies. Iné was eerste oor die wenstreep, gevolg deur Marubini Sadiki (2de) en Rosemary Ravhuhali. Die geleentheid was Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se Bokkesport op Woensdag.

Fietsrynuus

CP van Wyk (links), afgeneem saam met PSG-spanmaat Christiaan Roos (regs), na afloop van die P&L Fietsryklub se 2013-prysuitdeling verlede Vrydag, 17 Januarie. CP word onderskeidelik aangewys as die klub se junior mans tydtoets wenner, algehele mans bergfiets tydtoetswenner, junior mans bergfietskampioen, junior mans padfiets tydtoetswenner, algehele mans padfiets tydtoetswenner, junior mans padfietskampioen, mans bergsfiets klubkampioen en junior fietsryer van die jaar vir 2013. Hy ontvang ook die Most Outstanding Achievement toekenning vir die fietsryer wat buitengewoon presteer het in fietsry op ‘n hoër vlak, terwyl hy en Christiaan albei sertifikate van die klub ontvang omdat hulle provinsiale kleure ontvang in beide die bergfiets halfmarathon- en Cross Country-kategorieë. In die middel staan Stanley Thompson van die P&L Fietsryklub. Foto verskaf.

Die Soutpansberg het vir eers afskeid geneem van een van die streek se mees belowende jong fietsryers, die jong CP van Wyk.

CP het einde verlede jaar gematrikuleer by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt en het reeds vertrek vir verdere studies aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Sy plan is om ook daar sy fietsryloopbaan verder te neem.

Vir ouers is dit maar altyd moeilik om hul kinders uit die huis te sien gaan, en so ook vir CP se ouers. Hulle is egter dankbaar vir dit wat die Soutpansberg en

sy gemeenskap vir CP beteken het.“Dankie Levubu, Soutpansberg en sy

gemeenskap. Wat ‘n ongelooflike voorreg was dit nie om ons oudste op die platteland in die mooiste gebied in ons land groot te maak nie,” skryf ma Ralda in ‘n brief aan die koerant. Sy sê as ouers wil hulle vir elkeen wat ‘n bydrae, hoe gering ook al, gemaak het, baie dankie sê vir hul betrokkenheid by CP se skoolloopbaan, sportloopbaan en vriendekring. “Die ondersteuning wat ons van almal ontvang het, kan nie gekoop word nie,” sê Ralda.

Spesifieke dank het gegaan aan die P&L Fietsryklub, Hoërskool en Laerskool Louis Trichardt se onderwysers, familie, vriende, ouers van vriende en sommer almal wie ons ken.

“Ons grootste dank egter aan ons Vader wat vir CP hierdie talente en geleenthede bied. CP, ons gaan jou en jou vriende mis, maar geniet en gebruik elke oomblik!” sê Ralda.

Intussen hou hulle, soos ook baie Soutpansbergers, die jong CP dop ten opsigte van sy fietsryloopbaan.

CP groet vir eers die Soutpansberg

Terwyl ander kinders al met hulle tone in die sand gespeel het by die see, het hierdie drie Triegies van Laerskool Louis Trichardt aan die Limpopo Junior Tennis Toernooi deelgeneem. Hulle is, van links na regs, Maggie Kemp (O/13, tweedeplek), LJ Fick (O/13, elfdeplek) en Michaela Gilfillan (O/13, vierdeplek).
