The police’s number one suspect with regard to the violent crime spree in the Soutpansberg area over the past two months is a 24-year-old Zimbabwean man who escaped from police custody in October 2010.

Brighton Chauke (photo) escaped along with four fellow detainees from the police’s holding cells in

Musina on October 4 last year. This follows his arrest and that of his brother, the 28-year-old Shorty Chauke, on three charges of armed robbery in Louis Trichardt during 2009 and a murder case in Musina.

The police appealed to anyone with information about his wherea-bouts to contact their nearest police station, but not to confront him as he is considered armed and danger-ous.

The police’s No 1 suspect‘n Jong inwoner van Louis Trichardt is vroeg Saterdagoggend ernstig beseer na ‘n motorfietsongeluk in

die industriële gebied.

Die 19-jarige m n r . G a r e t h Broo ker (foto) het met ‘n stil-staan de trein ge - bots by die trein-oorgang in Grob-lerstraat.

Volgens een van Brooker se vriende wat eer-ste op die toneel

was, mnr. Francois Basson, was Brooker in ‘n noordelike rigting op pad toe hy in die trein vasgery het. Die ongeluk het ongeveer 03:00 plaasgevind. Brooker was op pad terug vanaf die gewilde kuierplek, Rumours, waar hy vir die vakansie werk.

Na verneem word het Brooker glo nie die trein gesien wat oor die pad gestaan het nie. Die trein was vermoedelik besig om van spore te verwissel.

‘n Erg bebloede en beseerde Brooker is na die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal gejaag, waar hy gestabiliseer is en na die MediClinic in Polokwane afgevoer is. Ten spyte van die valhelm wat hy gedra het, het Brooker glo heelwat kopbese-rings opgedoen. “Hy het ‘n gebreekte been en twee gebreekte arms gehad. Hy

het ook taamlike kopbeserings gehad,” het Basson gesê.

In Polokwane is Brooker verder be-handel en gestabiliseer en per helikop-ter na ‘n hospitaal in Pretoria geneem, waar hy sedert die naweek onder sterk verdowing gehou word.

Teen druktyd het Brooker se ouers nog by hom gewaak in die hoësorgeenheid en kon hulle nie vir kommentaar bereik word nie. Brooker se vriendin, me. Chantal Nel, het Woensdag gesê dat hy alreeds operasies ondergaan het om van die breuke en wonde te herstel.

“Hy is stabiel, maar steeds kritiek. Die die breuke is baie sleg,” het Nel gesê.

Volgens Nel sal Brooker nog talle op-erasies moet ondergaan en is dit nie seker wanneer hy ontslaan sal word nie.

Jong man kritiek in hospitaal ná botsing met trein

Crime spree continuesIn yet another farm attack in the Sout-pansberg, a 51-year-old man was shot and killed by an unidentified gunman last Friday evening.

Since the beginning of May, farmers and farm workers in the Beja/Piesang-hoek area along the Louis Trichardt/Thohoyandou road have been plagued by two gunmen on a violent crime spree. Their reign of terror follows a break-in at a police official’s home on the Rietvlei smallholdings west of Louis Trichardt some two months ago, during which a

.303 hunting rifle was stolen.On May 5, a roadside café on the

farm Vygeboomsdrift was targeted and ransacked. That same evening, the pig farm along the Elim road was robbed. Ten days later, a group of farm workers was robbed at gunpoint on the farm of Mr De Wet van Wyk, and on May 25, a farm worker was overpowered, again on the farm Vygeboomsdrif. Fortunately, the farmer’s alarm system deterred the attackers. The same attackers apparently then tried to break into the Marandela milk stall on the neighbouring farm that same evening, but without success. There was,

however, a successful break-in at the farm office of Mr Gilbert Gerhard, also on the same evening. Eyewitnesses all described their attackers as two men armed with a hunting rifle.

As time passed, the attacks became more violent. On May 28, the two gunmen targeted the farm Nooitgedacht. During the attack, the farm owner, Mr Jan Louw (49), as well as the 19-year-old Mr Ferdie Landman, barely escaped certain death. Louw was stabbed at least 15 times during the attack, while Landman also sustained several stab wounds.

Pick ‘n Pay’s Louis Trichardt branch donated food parcels to a group of elders from various churches organisations who gathered to hold prayer sessions in the Kutama area last Wednesday. The elders come together to pray that crime and killings may be curbed and also for the education of their children. The ceremonies are held at the Tshikwarani Faith Mission church.

The Democratic Alliance elected their new branch committee for Thsikota outside Louis Trichardt. The committee consist of (front from left) Benny Jones, Setutji Ranango, Gideon Munano and Mettah Sadiki. At the back are Tendani Ramabulana, Nancy Ndlovu, Ruth Manenzhe and Kedibone Baloyi.

Twee mans weer in hof oorbeweerde lollery met kinders

Top cop retires after 37 years

‘n Bekende sakeman van Louis Tri-chardt, wat in Maart gearresteer is nadat hy glo sy negejarige stief-dogter gemolesteer het, het weer Maandag vlugtig in die Streekshof op Louis Trichardt verskyn.

Die 45-jarige man staan tereg op ‘n klag van verkragting. Dié klag is teen hom gebring, nadat hy die dog-tertjie glo verskeie kere, oor etlike jare, seksueel misbruik het en haar betas het.

Na verneem word, sal die dogtertjie moet kom getuig teen die man, nadat die man aangedui het dat hy van plan is om onskuldig te pleit. ‘n Voorlo-pige verhoordatum is deur die hof vasgestel vir 29 Augustus vanjaar.

Intussen verkeer die vermeende pedofiel oor wie die Zoutpansberger

verlede week berig het, steeds agter tralies. Die 47-jarige man, wat na bewering sy verloofde se kleindogter gemolesteer het, het ook Maandag in die Streekshof op Louis Trichardt verskyn.

Hy is al vir die afgelope twee weke in aanhouding, nadat hy op Dinsdag, 21 Junie, in hegtenis geneem is. Die man se saak is tot verlede Vrydag uit-gestel vir ‘n moontlike borgaansoek. Sy saak is egter oorgeplaas vanaf die Distrikshof na die Streekshof en uitgestel tot Maandag toe.

Tydens Maandag se hofverskyning is die man se saak weer met ‘n week uitgestel, nadat hy glo aangedui het dat hy gaan skuldig pleit.

Hy sal tot sy hofverskyning op 11 Julie in aanhouding bly.

The Louis Trichardt police bade farewell to one of its hardworking top cops, Lt Col Alpheus Masevhe, during a ceremony in Louis Tri-chardt last Thursday.

Masevhe retired after 37 years in the Police Service. He joined the police force on October 8, 1974. He started working in Randburg in Gau-teng, and later moved to join the Ven-da Police during the homelands era.He was stationed at Tshitale, Siloam, Mphephu, Vuwani and Thohoyandou before moving to the Makhado Police Station. He was the Makhado Cluster Detective Co-ordinator at the time of

his retirement.In his final remarks, Masevhe

urged young members of the police not to engage in criminal activities. “We don’t want to see police officers engaging in corruption. You must always work hard to fight crime,” he said.

The Makhado cluster commander and the station comander of Makhado SAPS, Brig Justice Tshisaphungo and Col Francois Ramovha, wished Ma-sevhe well on his retirement on behalf of all members. “He is a leader and good man who fears God. We learned a lot from him,” said Tshisaphungo.

Police working around the clock to catch suspects

Man koelbloedig doodgeskiet in jongste aanvalMisdaad in landelike gebiede bedreig nie net die kommersiële boer nie, maar ook sy plaasarbeiders.

Sedert die begin van Mei is die Sout-pansberg-boerderygemeenskap in die greep van ‘n gewelddadige tereurveldtog, moontlik die werk van ‘n 24-jarige Zim-babwiese man wat in Oktober verlede jaar uit polisie-aanhouding in Musina ontsnap het. In die meerderheid gevalle was die slagoffers plaasarbeiders.

Vrydagaand, 1 Julie, is die 51-jarige mnr. Eric Neshunzhi koelbloedig in sy wooneenheid op die plaas Goedehoop

doodgeskiet deur ‘n onbekende man. Die man het daarna met twee selfone op die vlug geslaan. Volgens ‘n ooggetuie, mev. Elisa Mufamadi, het sy buite die wooneenheid gestaan toe ‘n gewapende man skielik uit die bosse verskyn het. Hy het haar met die vinger beduie om stil te bly, waarna hy verby haar gestap het, die huis in. Oomblikke later het sy ‘n skoot gehoor en gevlug. Mufamandi het later aan mnr. Deon de Jager, wat op die plaas woon, gesê die man het ‘n swart uniform, soos dié van ‘n sekuriteitswag, aangehad. De Jager, wat die skoot gehoor het, het

dadelik die plaaswag in kennis gestel. Hulle was binne ‘n uur op die toneel.

Die polisie het nog ‘n uur later eers opgedaag. Intussen het die polisie gesê Vrydagaand se moord hou nie nood-wendig verband met die sake waarmee die 24-jarige Zimbabwiese man, Bright-on Chauke, verbind word nie, aangesien ‘n haelgeweer en nie ‘n jaggeweer in die moord gebruik is nie.

Neshunzhi was werksaam as subkon-trakteur verantwoordelik vir ontbossing in die Komatiland plantasies.

Die polisie se ondersoek duur voort.

(Contd from P1)Two days later, another group of

farm workers was robbed at gunpoint on the farm Elandspruit. Once again the description of the attackers matched that of the two gunmen with the hunting rifle. The two were at it again on June 1, when they overpowered a domestic worker on the farm Palmietfontein and ransacked the farm house.

At that stage, it had become clear that it was just a matter of time before the gun-men started killing people. Unfortunate-ly, this fear became a reality when some-body was murdered last Friday evening. The 51-year-old Mr Eric Neshunzhi was brutally killed when an unidentified man walked into his home on the farm Goedehoop and shot him at point-blank range. The police were, however, quick to point out that Friday’s murder is not necessarily connected to the other cases involving the two gunmen as a shotgun was used to kill Mr Neshunzhi. They are,

however, investigating the circumstances surrounding the killing.

This is not good news for an already terrorized community, as it means there could now be two armed gunmen running amok in the area. It has also come to light that the two gunmen with the .303 rifle had split up, with the man with the hunt-ing rifle now operating alone.

In response to Friday’s killing and the violent crime wave in the area over the past two months, Mr Frits Ahrens, chairman of the Louis Trichardt Farmer’s Association, responded by saying the farming community was on high alert.

“We are alert but concerned that no ar-rests have been made. Why is it that when a police commissioner’s home is broken into, as was the case last week in Pretoria, the police can make seven arrests within 48 hours? But not here. It’s been two months and still no arrests,” Ahrens said. He added that the farming community was not seeing any willingness from the

local police to make arrests.Local police spokesperson Capt

Maano Sadike responded by saying this was not the case. “The police view these incidents in a very serious light and are as always committed to the safety of all citizens, whether it is in urban or rural areas,” Sadike said.

He added that a special task team had been appointed to focus exclusively on these incidents and the suspects involved. “They are currently working day and night in trying to track them down,” Sadike said. He also said, however, that the police could not operate in isolation and without the assistance from the com-munities around the area.

“Anybody with information about the whereabouts or movement of the suspects is requested to contact their nearest police station. The suspects should, however, be considered armed and dangerous and should not be con-fronted,” Sadike said.

Farm workers who stay at the camping sites on the farms say their lives are not safe. This comes after a farm worker was shot and killed during the past week.

Farm workers at the Neuhof Farm were photographed harvesting avocados.

Members of the Siloam com-munity are still shocked after a tragic incident in which a three-year-old child lost his life while sleeping at the Takalani Children's Home and Orphan-age Centre in the Nzhelele area.

The child, who was being taken care of at the centre, was brought to Takalani by members

of the police with his twin sister, after their mother was arrested last year for assault. The child, who was known as Hlamulo Gift Ndou, was discovered by one of the caregivers at the centre when she went to change his nappy.

W/O Itani Muila of the Siloam police confirmed the incident. "It all happened at 19:00 while the child was asleep," he said. Muila

added that the police had opened an inquest docket, following the incident.

"The cause of the child's death is not yet known, but investi-gations are continuing," said Muila.

Takalani is an orphanage cen-tre that looks after abandoned, vulnerable and orphaned chil-dren.

Shock as toddler dies at care centre

“Attacks are threatening our livelihoods”Farm workers in the Levubu and Louis Trichardt area say their lives are in danger and they are living in fear, follow-ing the brutal murder of Mr Eric Neshunzhi on the farm Goedehoop last Friday.

The murder comes amidst a two-month-long violent crime spree in die area that is believed to be the work of the 24-year-old Brighton Chauke, a Zimbabwean man who escaped from police custody in October last year. The police, however, have stated that Chauke might not be connected to Friday's shooting.

Several incidents of armed robbery and housebreaking on farms had been reported in the area since the beginning of May. “Our lives are at risk, because the man [Chauke] keeps on targeting us - the farm workers. He robs us of our belongings, such as money and cell phones,” said one of the victims, Mr Samuel Muleya. According to Muleya, Chauke

is a dangerous man who breaks everything he touches.

"The man is always in the company of his friends and always breaks into our homes on the farms while we are busy working in the field. All our fur-niture, such as TVs and DVDs, are stolen. Our lives are threat-ened here." Muleya added that they were only safe during the daytime. “It's no longer safe for us to walk around after 18:00 as we usually did. The cases were reported to the police, but nothing is happening,” said Muleya.

Some farm workers indicated that, should the situation con-tinue, they would be forced to go home every afternoon and travel to the farms by bus the next morning. "We are not going anywhere. This is our livelihood and we enjoy farming to produce food for the people. No one is go-ing to stop us, because the poor people out there want something to eat," said Mr Enos Munyai, a

supervisor at Neuhof Farm.He said that if workers could

move from the farm and go stay at their homes, the lives of the farm owners would also be threatened. "So we have decided to stay here. We are prepared to work with the police, so that the culprit can be put behind bars where he belongs. If the culprit can be arrested, things will go back to normal. For now, we are not safe," said Munyai.

With regard to Friday’s mur-der, police spokesperson for the Makhado police Capt Maano Sadike urged farm owners to sen-sitize their employees with regard to safety. He said farm workers should make sure they know each other. This would make it easier to identify unknown persons on the farm and report them to the farm owner or police. Sadike also urged farm workers to refrain from drinking too heavily over weekend as this has the tendency to lead to crime.

Residents watch as smoke rises from their home that was engulfed by flames last Wednesday afternoon. The help of the Makhado Fire Brigade had to be called in to douse the flaming house along the N1 at the first Elim road turn-off. The fire allegedly started when one of the women, living in the house, was busy burning a heap of garden rubbish close to the house. The fire then spread to the grass and veldt surrounding the house and was swept up into the roof of the house. The firefighters were quick to arrive on the scene and bring the raging fire under control. The inhabitants, who were still desperately scrambling to collect their personal belongings, were evacuated to safety. Nobody was hurt during the incident.

Lots of water was needed to douse a burning house, next to the N1, just outside of Louis Trichardt last Wednesday. The Makhado Fire Brigade were quick to respond to the emergency call. According to information, the fire started when one of the dwellers was busy burning a heap of rubbish towards the back of the plot, when the surrounding grass and veldt caught alight and the fire spread to the house. As usual, the region is plagued by veldt fires during the dry winter months and residents are warned not to make open fire or to leave fires unattended.

Get involved in public participation

Blitz proofs labourers are treated fairlyMr Stephen Hoffman, chair-person of the Soutpansberg District Agricultural Union (SDAU), expressed his satisfac-tion with the outcome of the blitz agricultural inspections by the Department of Labour that were held in Levubu from June 13 until 17.

Ms Roelien van der Walt, labour committee representative of SDAU, said that the working relationship between the SDAU office and the Department of Labour office in Thohoyandou is of a very high standard and that there is good co-operation with the office. Mr Fanus Viviers,

chairperson of the Levubu Ag-ricultural Union, said that the inspectors adhered to the provi-sions in the farm-visit protocol.

“All the required information was delivered to the SDAU of-fice before the inspections, such as who the inspectors would be, the vehicle registration numbers and the identification numbers of the inspectors,” Viviers said. He said the inspectors understood the safety risks for farmers when unidentified people entered farms and they were happy to comply with the provisions of the farm-visit protocol.

Viviers said that after the visit,

the Department of Labour issued an e-mail to the SDAU office, stating that: “During our inspec-tions at Levubu, we managed to inspect six farms, of which were complying and advocacy was also conducted on one of the farms wherein there was mis-understanding between workers and employer. Both parties were satisfied with our assistance.”

Viviers said this was ample proof that commercial farmers treated their workers fairly and that there was no substance to accusations that white commer-cial farmers were abusing their workers.

The mayor of Musina Munici-pality, Cllr Carol Phiri, has en-couraged the people of Musina to take the process of public participation very seriously.

Phiri said this during a live television interview on SABC 2 last week.

She said when communities participated in municipal activi-ties, it meant they would have an opportunity to voice their ideas about every important decision taken by the municipality.

“Local government affects everyone's lives. Our local coun-cil at Musina provides a wide range of services and all com-munity members have the right to form part of the decision-making

bodies.The Local Government Municipal Management Act puts the voice of the people at the centre of this process.”

Phiri said in order to ensure public participation in local gov-ernance, government had put in place various pieces of legislation and policies over time.

“The following are some of the legislative and policy provi-sions aimed at fostering public participation at local government. These include the Constitution, Batho Pele principles, the Mu-nicipal Structures Act and White Paper on Local Government, the Municipal Systems Act, the Municipal Finance Management Act, the Municipal Property

Rates Act, the Guidelines for Op-eration of Ward Committees, and the National Policy Framework for Public Participation, to name but a few.”

She said public participation in the decision-making process was essential for moving the community forward.

“It is most effective to involve the public in the very early stages of planning. Getting the public involved early in the process requires the municipality to make sure that everyone is on the same page, with the neces-sary background information, in order for everyone to be able to engage fully in reaching a deci-sion," she said.

Wat het die inskripsie gelees?

SDAU objects to another prospecting application

Daar word dringend gesoek na enige iemand wat weet presies hoe die brons inskripsieplaat op die Louis Trichardt Gedenkteken oorkant die Geloftekerk in Eras-mustraat gelees het.

Die Generaal Piet Joubert Voor-trekkerkommando op Louis Trichardt het dit op hulself geneem om die plaat, asook die inskripsieplaat op Ford Hendrina, te vervang, nadat dit etlike maande gelede moontlik vir skrootmetaal afgesteel is.

“Ons soek hulp of inligting van enige iemand wat dalk ‘n foto geneem

het van die plaat of betrokke was by die opstel daarvan, sodat ‘n nuwe plaat gemaak en opgerig kan word,” sê mnr. Ferdie Vorster.

Volgens Vorster het hulle reeds die bewoording van die gedenkplaat wat op Ford Hendrina was bekom en is hulle in die proses om ‘n nuwe plaat te maak.

Beide inskripsieplate, sê hy, sal by voltooiing met ‘n seremonie her-ingewy word.

Enige iemand wat kan help, kan vir Vorster skakel by tel. 082 081 9413 of 015 516 5309.

The Soutpansberg District Agricultural Union (SDAU) has officially objected to Sales Affiliates 119 (Pty) Ltd’s application for yet another coal prospecting right north of the Soutpansberg.

The application comes in the wake of numerous proposed coal mining rights, including Coal of Africa’s proposed Vele and Makhado colliery, and nine applications for gas exploration.

According to Mr Stephen Hoffman, chairperson of the SDAU, they are aware of two applications made by Sales Affiliates 119 (Pty) Ltd for coal prospecting on the farms Fontainebleau, Prachtig, Myngenoegen, Oporto, Boulogne, Mons, Jutland, Sandow, Bellevue, Solvent, Stubbs, Verrulam, Roux, Schalk, Kortdraai, Margate, Andromeda, Bierman, Stubbs, Honeymoon, Du Plooy, Faure, Jutland, Mons, Bordeaux and Cohen.

Hoffman says that in the letter of objection, dated June 30, it is brought to the attention of the regional manager of the Department of Mineral Resources that it would seem as if Sales Affiliates is disregarding provisions in applicable legislation. The Mineral and Petroleum Resources Develop-ment Act (Act No. 28 of 2002), section 16(4)(b) indicates that a land owner or lawful occupier and any other affected party must be notified in writing and consulted on any such application and that the result of the consultation must be submitted within 30 days from the date of the notice.

“Most of the land owners were not notified or the notices were received so late that it was impossible

to submit comments. Affected parties such as SDAU were not informed or consulted,” Hoffman said.

In the letter, it is put on record that some land owners received the notice via facsimile on June 15 at 10:52.

“That is one day before the dead-line for comments and consultation,” says Hoffman, adding that one day is

clearly not acceptable as a reasonable time to submit comments. In the letter of objection, the regional manager is also asked to provide proof that land owners had received notices and had been consulted within a reasonable time period before the deadline date, indicating that a lack of consultation forms the basis of their objection.

Five month old water leak causes havocWhile some Soutpansberg residents suffer with-out a continuous water supply, the opposite is the case on a farm just east of Louis Trichardt, where unwanted water has been leaking freely for the past five months.

“Just take this water away. I cannot get into the land to cut the forage,” said farm manager Ms Caroline Mukondeleli.

An exasperated Ms Mukondeleli told how she had attempted numerous times over the past months to get the municipality to repair a leak on the main water pipeline. The leak appeared on the farm Enig of Mr Ben Mouton some 25km out on the Thohoyandou road. The water has flooded a large area, turning it into a swamp.

The breaking point came when Mukondeleli got stuck with a tractor and grass cutter last Tuesday when she needed to get into a field planted with Chinese grass.

“I am supposed to cut the forage in order to make compost and then urgently apply the compost to the orchard. When the tractor got stuck in the mud, most of the work on the farm had to stop in order for the workers to pull me out with another tractor,” Mukondeleli said. It took hours to salvage the trac-tor from the mud.

Mukondeleli said that the municipality had sent someone out to survey the problem about two months ago. “They promised to come and repair it but never came ... They don’t care,” Mukondeleli said. A member of the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) visited the farm on June 29. “I was shocked to see the extent of the water leak. Two inspection holes were completely covered with water ... It terrifies me to think how many kilolitres of water had been wasted over the past five months,” the SRPA member said.

Vanaf Songozwistraat tot by die hoek van Erasmusstraat loop twee strome rou riool aan weerskante van Presidentstraat deur die sentrale sakegebied van Louis Trichardt. Hierdie foto van ´n oorborrellende rioolmangat is Dinsdag geneem, nadat die probleem, wat ernstige gesondheidsrisikos vir die dorp se inwoners inhou, reeds Maandag verskeie kere telefonies onder die aandag van die Makhado Munisipaliteit gebring is. Sedertdien het die rou riool onder die padoppervlakte deurgeborrel en stroom ook oorkant onder die teerstrook uit. By navraag het die munisipale woordvoerder, mnr. Louis Bobodi, gesê hulle werk aan die probleem.

den Berg, expressed his concern regarding yet an-other major leak along the town’s main water sup-ply line from the Albasini Dam. In April, another leak also occurred on the pipeline about 10km out of town. This leak was eventually repaired on April 15, after it was claimed that it had been leaking for at least four months. At the time, the Makhado Municipality’s spokesperson denied that the water had been leaking for four months and insisted that the pipeline was inspected regularly.

In no uncertain terms, Van den Berg ascribed the latest water leak to “the practice of no maintenance” and negligence on the side of local government. “Regular inspections of the pipeline and regular maintenance appear to be out of fashion. We are lodging an investigation to force the municipality to inspect and maintain the pipeline on a regular

basis, like they did in Delmas,” Van den Berg says in a media state-ment. Van den Berg contacted the Makhado municipal manager on July 1, but by July 4, the leak had yet to be fixed.

The SRPA said that it posed a major problem that the Makhado Mu-nicipality and the Vhembe District Municipality passed the buck in cases like these. The Vhembe District Municipality was approached on Monday for comment.

Mr Matodzi Ralushai, Vhembe’s spokesperson, said he would speak to Vhembe’s Technical Direc-tor, who would, via the technical department of the Makhado Municipality, get people to fix the leak.

“We don’t want to lose water for there are other areas where there is a water challenge,” Ralushai said. Mr Moses Shivambe, Vhembe’s media liaison officer, also confirmed that a team would go out and assess the nature of the problem. By the time of going to press it was confirmed that a team had arrived and was busy working on the problem.

“They promised to come and repair it,

but never came... They don’t care.”

This is the spot where Ms Caroline Mukondeleli (insert), the farm manager on a farm on the Thohoyandou road, got stuck with a tractor as a result of a major leak in the main water pipeline that brings water to Louis Trichardt. Photo supplied.

Agricultural

Food security under pressure as land is not farmed productively, warns unionMr Stephen Hoffman, chair-person of the Soutpansberg District Agricultural Union (SDAU), expressed his concern about the negative picture that was presented to the Parlia-mentary Portfolio Committee on Rural Development and Land Reform with regard to the Community Property As-sociations (CPA).

The Department of Rural De-velopment and Land Reform (DRDLR) briefed the Portfolio Committee on June 22 on com-pliance by Communal Property Associations (CPAs) with Act 28 of 1996. This regulating Act requires CPAs to, among oth-ers, have a constitution, submit financial reports and record land transactions and the leasing of

land.The department admitted that

the picture looked bleak and saw itself as partly responsible for the situation, even though it had inherited a situation where no structures for enforcing compli-ance had existed for 15 years. To date, the then Department of Land Affairs (now Department of Rural Development and Land Reform) and the Commission on Restitution of Land Rights (CRLR) have established and registered approximately 1 500 CPAs, provisional associations and similar entities. There are 108 CPAs registered in Limpopo. CPAs in the area of the SDAU who show dismal performances include Kranspoort CPA, Mu-dimeli CPA, Songozwi CPA and

the Ratombo CPA. No financial reports were submitted.

“It must be remembered that these CPAs are funded by hard-working, overburdened tax pay-ers,” says Hoffman. He warned that food security is under pres-sure because more and more land is handed over to people who don’t want to or cannot farm.

“For every farm that is handed over to people who fail to farm productively, millions of rands and years of investment are lost,” says Hoffman. He expressed concern as it seems that all sorts of reasons are being fabricated to excuse the members of the CPAs from taking any responsibility.

“That is one of the main rea-sons why this system doesn’t work,” says Hoffman.

Apart from other sewerage spills in Louis Trichardt the past week, this manhole was pictured overflowing with sewage right next to the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital. Serious questions were asked as to the health risk this entails for the hospital.

Inwoners van Louis Trichardt het waarskynlik al opgehou om te tel hoeveel keer die verkeersligte op die hoek van Rissik en Kroghstrate omgery word. Die vorige keer was dit een in Rissikstraat. Dit is sedert verlede week weer sulke tyd – dié keer is dit egter die een op die eiland in Kroghstraat.

Dik sand en gediertes sit hulle nie af nie‘n Span van agt persone vanaf Shammah Bedieninge in Louis Trichardt het ‘n uitreik in Botswana gehou. Hulle was diep geraak deur die besef van die moeite wat die mense gedoen het om by die dienste uit te kom.

“Die mense het dik sand en lang afstande getrotseer. Tydens een aandgeleentheid is ‘n toe-paslike film vertoon, waarna mense persoonlik bedien is. Bykans 20 mense het hul harte aan die Here gegee en daar is vir verskeie mense vir genesing gebid. Hierdie geleentheid was tydens ‘n koue wintersaand in die opelug, met geen elektrisiteit nie, maar hulle het dit in die stikdon-ker bygewoon met die verdere risiko van skerpioene en slange en selfs leeus wat al in daardie omgewing opgemerk is,” vertel pastoor Francois Strydom, wat aan die hoof van die span gestaan het. Die uitreik is gehou vanaf 15 tot 25 Junie in samewerking met Love the World Missions in

Botswana.Die twee voertuie van die

span het gesamentlik 7 200km afgel. Besoek is gebring aan die nedersettings Sepupa, Kapatura, Shakarawe, Shakawe, asook Tso-dillo Hills wat teen die Caprivi-grens gelee is, waar die Oko-vangorivier in Botswana begin. Toegang na plekke soos Kapatura en Shakarawe kan slegs verkry word deur ‘n viertrek voertuig as gevolg van die dik sand en rowwe terrein. Somtyds bestaan die “kerkie” bloot uit pale en ‘n dak. “Sommige van die nedersettings oorkant die Okovangorivier kan ook net per veerboot bereik word. Maar die honger na die evangelie is groot,” het past. Francois gesê.Benoude oomblikke het ook nie uitgebly nie. Die span wat by pastoor Leon Zeilinga van Love the World Missions in Sepupa tuisgegaan het, was maar baie versigtig in die aande om nie onnodig uit die tente te beweeg nie. Die seekoeie se gesnork was teenaan die tente en krokodille

was ‘n werklikheid, om nie eens te praat van die moontlikheid van luiperds nie. “Sorg maar dat jou gebedslewe op datum is!” was past. Leon se raad.

“Wat ‘n ervaring! Ek besef hoe dankbaar ons moet wees dat ons die evangelie in sulke gunstige omstandighede kan ontvang,” sê een van die spanlede, Johan du Plessis. “Soortgelyke uitreike en ook plaaslike uitreike vorm deel van Shamma se sendingvisie vir Afrika,” sê past. Francois.

Shammah Bedieninge bedank graag almal wat die uitreik na Botswana moontlik gemaak het, naamlik Pemico Paneelklop-pers, Werda Toyota, House of Interiors, Innovated Designs, U print, Madi Gra water, Levubu Spar, Amie Chhaya , Shammah Jeugbediening, E+O Staalwerke, Eagle Tyres, Gen Key, Tele-vonic, Mosa Maria Granites, Premium Auto, Kwalata Jagplaas in Botswana, Shalom Aanbid-dingsentrum in Pretoria en ver-skeie anonieme skenkers.

‘n Span vanaf Shammah Bedieninge in Louis Trichardt het ‘n uitreik in Botswana gehou. Hulle was diep geraak deur die mense se honger na die evangelie.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

“Al die ander soek net hulle eie belange, nie dié van Jesus Christus nie.” - Filippense 2:21

Paulus noem die jong Timoteus ’n uit-sondering op die reël omdat hy hom

van Paulus laat leer het hoe ’n dienskneg van die Here Jesus behoort te lyk.

Timotheus het, soos Paulus, Christus se belange gesoek. Jesus Christus se be-lange is OM MENSE WAT VERLORE IS TE RED en sodoende die Vader in die hemel te verheerlik.

In ’n wêreld waar ’n “krom en ver-draaide geslag” is, (Fillipense 2:15) is dit die geval dat die kerk van Jesus só onder die wêreld se invloed is dat HAAR WERKERS NA HUL EIE BELANGE BEGIN SOEK in plaas van na dié van Jesus Christus. Ons skyn dan nie soos ligte in die wêreld nie, en doen nie alles “sonder murmurering en teëspraak” nie (2:14). Christus is dan nie aantreklik vir verlorenes nie, maar eerder iets/iemand om te vermy! Hou dan op om soos ’n wêreldling te kla en te steun oor alles. Wees eerder blymoedig! (Fil.4:4)

Ons soek elkeen ons eie belange, want ons dink: as ek nie nr. 1 kan wees nie, sal niemand dit wees nie! Dit doen ek in plaas daarvan dat ek onthou dat God my Vader is en dat Hy nie net vir my baie lief is nie en dat Hy in al my behoeftes voorsien; alles om te lewe EN om Hom te dien. (2 Petrus 1:3). Al wat Hy van mý vra, is gehoorsaamheid aan Sy opdragte.

Kom ons volg, soos Timoteus, Paulus se voorbeeld na soos Paulus die Here Jesus volg. Laat ons strewe wees om meer soos Jesus te word, sodat Hy mense na Hom toe kan trek.

Selfs gewone mense vra 15 minute se son Die gewone man

The ordinary lies not in the name

Brief

Alles net vir ‘n kerfie Afrika-biltong

Om gewoon te wees, is goed; dit is beskerming, dit is ‘n gemak-

sone, maar net so nou en dan wil ons gewone mense ook bietjie die aandag geniet. Soos Andy Warhol gesê het: “In the future, everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes.”

Ja, ons wil die toekoms nader wink en ons 15 minute opeis. Die Gewone Man kan ook ongeduldig raak en wonder hoe dit sal wees as daar meer as net drie “Likes” op sy Facebook-blad is. (Dit sal seker help as dit meer gereeld opgedateer word.) Hy het nie ’n “fan”-klub nie, hy kry nie dreigemente nie ... hy verdwyn tussen die grys.

Die maklike oplossing is om gewildheid in sensasie en kontro-versie te soek. Om hierdie rede gaan die Gewone Man vandag iets doen wat nog nooit tevore in ‘n rubriek in ‘n gemeenskapskoerant gedoen is nie. Hy gaan stelsel-matig van sy klere ontslae raak en, soortgelyks aan E-TV se Naked News, teen die einde net in sy geboortepak voor die Soutpansberg staan.

[Die gebreide trui is die eerste wat oor die kop getrek word en in die hoek eindig. (In die proses is die koffiebeker omgestamp, maar die kat kon darem betyds vlug en brandwonde vermy.)]

Ek het oorweeg om ‘n mooi jong modelletjie te kry om die uittrekwerk te doen, maar dit bring sy eie kwota probleme mee. Vroulief gaan haar winkbroue meer as gewoonlik lig en dit gaan my uiters ongemaklik laat. Ek besef naaktheid is hier in belang van die groter saak, maar ‘n kaal jong mei-sie sal ongelukkig nie goed afgaan in ons huis nie. Lesers moet maar hul verbeel ding gebruik - en die

paar manlike lesers moet my beeld maar in hul geestesoog vervang met ‘n pragtige blondine, brunette, rooikop of net wat die hartklop aan die gang sit.

[Die Bronx-skoene eindig saam met die trui in die hoek. Die kouse word in dieselfde beweging uitgetrek. (Weer moet die kat, wat homself op die hopie tuisgemaak het, vlug.)]

Terug by Andy Warhol, daardie bekende kunstenaar, filmmaker en kommersiële filosoof. Ek neem aan as een van jou sketse/skilderye vir $100 miljoen verkoop word, dan is jy wêreldberoemd. Dit is ook nie asof dit vir ‘n besonderse kunswerk was nie - dit was vir ‘n afdruk van agt identiese Elvis Presleys wat, pistool in die hand, na jou mik.

Wat Andy Warhol egter vir my besonders maak, is die feit dat hy op ‘n vreemde manier die buitenge-wone mens was wat gestreef het na die gewone. Sy ouers was van Mikovia (deesdae Noordoos-Slovakye) en hulle het voor sy geboorte na Pensilvanië in Amerika getrek. Andrew Warhola (sy volle naam) was die vierde seun en sy pa was ‘n mynwerker.

[Die Sterling-hemp se knope word een vir een losgemaak en die hemp volg die roete vloer toe. (Die kat kyk nie eens op nie.)]

Die jong Andy was dikwels siek en het lang tye by die huis span-deer terwyl sy maats by die skool en buite rondgespeel het. In sy kamer, met net die geselskap van sy moeder, het hy begin om hom te omring met die prente van rolprent-sterre en bekendes.

Terugslae het nie sy spoed gebreek nie, en soos hy dit later jare mooi gestel het: “Sometimes

people let the same problem make them miserable for years, when they could just say, ‘So what.’ That’s one of my favorite things to say. ‘So what.’“

[Die belt is die volgende wat losgehak word en versigtig - sodat die lussies van die broek nie dalk skeur nie - uitgetrek word.]

Na kollege het Andy as illus-treerder by ‘n tydskrif begin werk en hier sy unieke styl ontwikkel. Sy pensketse van skoene vir adverten-sies was veral gewild. Uitstallings van sy kunswerke het kort daarna gevolg en sy kenmerkende styl het geleidelik aan hom ‘n ikoniese status besorg. Sy gunsteling onder-werpe was huishoudelike items en die gesigte van bekende persoon-likhede. Soos hy dit stel:

“What’s great about this country is that America started the tradi-tion where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca-Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca-Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca-Cola, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.”

[Die broek se knoop word vin-nig losgemaak en die ritssluiter afgetrek. Soos wat die broek afval, skop ek dit eenkant toe. My tyds-berekening is uit en ek moet op een been rondspring om my balans te herwin. Ek gebruik maar my hande om die broekspyp los te wikkel en sit die broek versigtig op die hopie

in die hoek – bo-op die kat, wat nou rustig slaap.]

Warhol se vars aanslag op die kunswêreld het van hom ‘n super-ster gemaak, tot so ‘n mate dat een van sy vroulike kollegas hom (uit jaloesie?) selfs probeer doodskiet het. Hy het dit oorleef, maar dit het hom waarskynlik meer paranoïes as ooit gelaat. Soos hy dit gestel het: “... I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there – I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it’s the way things hap-pen in life that’s unreal.”

Om die ironie van sy lewe verder te beklemtoon, het Andy Warhol sy kuns gebruik om baie ryk te word. “Making money is art, and working is art and good business is the best art,” is wat hy hieroor te sê gehad het. Na sy dood is ‘n groot deel van sy boedel geskenk aan ‘n trust wat visuele kuns bevorder. ‘n Vei-ling van sy bates in 1987 het $20 miljoen opgelewer.

[... en daar gaan die laaste kle-dingstuk ... Die onderbroek wat met ’n swierige boog op die slapende kat land. Nou is daar geen skuil-stuk meer oor nie.]

Gestroop van alle pretensie staan ek nou hier ... Net ‘n gewone (kaal) man. Sonder die beskerming van die uiterlike is alles maar steeds dieselfde. Dalk sou Andy Warhol trots gewees het. In sy eie woorde:

“If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the sur-face of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There’s nothing behind it.”

En daar eindig my 15 skaamte-lose minute van roem.

Dear ordinary man,I’ve been following the last

few editions of the newspaper in which you have been bemoaning the fact that you are an ordinary man. I found this interesting, es-pecially the topics you chose. This made me think, which is a rare occurrence for me.

I know you’ve said it, but most men are ordinary. Okay, we can say they differ a lot, at least outwardly. The one is tall and thin, the next one is short and fat. Or tall and fat, or short and thin. This one’s hair will make McDreamy jealous, while that one’s body is enough to make Angelina dump Brad. And that one ... ooh, that one ... he has that indefinable SOME-THING... (drool).

I have a friend with the name Al-legra. A very bohemian name for a very down-to-earth woman. No frills, no fuss. Comes from a very ordinary, religious home with well-adjusted parents who lack for little. They raised her well. Their only taste of the unusual was to give their daughter an unconventional name. Oh, and her mother’s beauty and her father’s stature.

For some reason or another, everyone always thought Allegra had to be as unusual as her name. The weirdest creatures always tried to chat her up. At school it was always the “naughty” boys – the

smokers, the drinkers, the rebels. At varsity it was the same – the art students with their ultra-long hair, multi-pierced ears, eyebrows and nipples and their outrageous outfits. Or the drama dudes, who thought they had to be on stage 24/7 to be noticed. (Quite a few drama dolls also tried their luck, without success).

Funny thing was, she wasn’t attracted to the unusual guys. Those who were really weird she accepted, or at least tolerated, with sweet grace. The fakes, the ones who pretended to be different just to be in the limelight, she regarded with a great deal of polite scepti-cism. The wonderful thing about her is that she can see through peo-ple’s facades clearly and quickly.

What’s the point of all this? Well, we don’t need extraordinary names to be extraordinary, or vice versa. Sometimes, people with exotic names are just ordinary people, and they prefer ordinary people as friends. Or lovers/hus-bands/partners ... significant others. Case in point? Allegra Smit, whose husband Jan is a farmer in the Free State.

Okay, so let’s not hold it against her that Jan has seven farms… But that’s a story for another day.

Regards,

Ordinary woman

Dit is vieruur namiddag en onder-weg tussen Soekmekaar en die

N1 sien jy die twee jagters, gewere oor die skouers, in die brandlyn bin-nekant van die plaasheining stap.

Tussen hulle dra hulle ‘n rooi koelkassie en lustig word daar ge sels en beduie. Nou wonder jy … het hulle klaar ietsie geskiet, of vertrou hulle dat ‘n koedoebul of ‘n rooibok straks in die brandlyn sal intree, miskien om ook ‘n lekseltjie vanuit die rooi koelkassie te kom bedel?

Met heimwee dink jy terug aan jou eie plaasjare, voordat Afrika alles gevat het en gereken het hulle sal ‘n beter sukkelpoging tussen die kliprante en sekelbos as jy kan be dryf. ‘n Week voordat jy ontruim het, het jy gewonder of die Bruno 7x57 geweer nie maar elke koedoe-bul en rooibokram sal afmaai nie?

Skuldig het jy verstom gestaan vir jou eie onetiese gedagtes … Sovele jare het jy oordeelkundig gejag en selfs voer aangekoop in die jare toe droogtes wildkarkasse in die hei-ningdrade in gedwing het.

Verbitterd dink jy aan hulle wie gekom het … voordat jy ontruim het … Die hondejagters, die draadstrik-stellers.

Opnuut ervaar jy die kille woede asof jy andermaal staan by die vrot karkas van ‘n dragtige stoetkoei verstrengel in ‘n draadstrik. Jy ruik weer die aaklige reuk van ‘n boud-wond, oopgekloof tot teenaan die been, jy sien weer die swerms vlieë en brommers. Jy stoot met bewende hand die enkele patroon in die loop … ‘n Harde knal verlos die hans kalf uit sy verskriklike lyding.

Jy tuur in die rigting na daar waar Pretoria behoort te wees. Daar waar hulle in glans raadsale sit, aanhoudend boere se skrywes

en klagtes ignoreer, hulle onkunde verdrink in duur partytjies ten koste van belastingbetalers.

Berigte bereik jou dat dit wat eens lewe vir jou was, verlate en verniel darem nog deel van moeder natuur is. Die ingang na die plaas bestaan nie meer nie. Toegegroei deur sekel-bosse, naamloos en arm aan hoop vir enige toekoms. Die plaashuis se daksinke is verwyder, deur- en vensterrame uitgebreek en verkwan-sel. Van vyf boorgate, sterk water, Lister-masjiene en pype, binne 15 kampe, word die boodskap van niks, niks meer hiervan nie deur dorstige beeste wat deur heiningdrade na waterpunte van bure breek, met uitgetrapte voetpaaie gedra.

Dan glimlag jy ook, dankbaar vir die groot mambas wat in die klipbanke lê en bak het en … vele sogenaamde grafsoeker gillend die kop afwaarts laat storm het.

Jy worstel met die vraag of die voorvaderlikes darem nog ‘n Telkomdiens het en hulle so af en toe nog bel? Sê hy mos die dag die “ancestor” bel hom elke nag, sê hom oor en oor hy moet die graf gaan soek. Word hy met stomheid geslaan toe hy gevra word: “Hoe-kom so soek? As die ‘ancestor’ weer bel, vra hom presies waar lê die graf?”

Voor jou geestesoog sien jy die groot klomp wit kruise langs die N1 tussen Polokwane en Mokopane;

Vele druppels bloed wat deur-week ons Moeder Aarde,

Jy … ja jy met die Afrikason in jou hare …

Het hierdie wit houtkruisbloed vir jou enige waarde?

Of stu die haat vir andere steeds bruisend deur jou are?

- Buurman

Besonderse Bybelfees op Thohoyandou

The Waterpoort police arrested two suspects, who were found in possession of illegal cigarettes, last Tuesday. Lamer Dhiwayo (29) of Zimbabwe and a South African, Jeffrey Mukwevho (32) were travelling along the Waterpoort-Alldays road, when they were stopped by the police at a roadblock. “When we searched the car, we found 749 cartons of illegal cigarettes. They briefly appeared in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate´s Court on Monday and the case was postponed,” said the spokesperson of the Waterpoort police, W/O Hezekiel Lishivha. He added that the value of the cigarettes is R28 800. Photographed with the cigarettes is W/O Muvhulawa Sithagu.

Die 75ste bestaansjaar van die Venda Bybel gaan op Sondag, 17 Julie, feestelik herdenk word in die Evangeliese Lutherse Kerk op Thohoyandou. Die program sal om 10:00 begin.

Die spesiale erediens sal feestelik ingeklee word met musiek, sang en voorlesings uit die Bybel en sal gelei word deur biskop S. W. S. Sihlangu van die Lutherse kerk. Lidmate van alle kerke word uitgenooi om deel te neem aan die feesver-rigtinge.

Die heel eerste vol-ledige vertaling van die Bybel in Tshivenda is in 1936 deur die Britse en Buitelandse Bybel-genootskap uitgegee. Die oorspronklike ver-taling is gedoen deur die taalkundige, dr. P. E. Schwellnuss, van die Berlynse Sending-genootskap, bygestaan deur ‘n span wat mnre. Isaak Mulaudzi en Fin-eas Mutsila ingesluit het. Dit het 18 jaar ge-neem om die vertaal-werk te voltooi. Die eerste vertaalwerk, die vier evangelies en Han-delinge, is reeds in 1920 gepubliseer en die voll-edige Nuwe Testament het in 1923 gevolg.

Vandag is die Tshiv-enda-sprekers in Suid-Afrika en in Zimbabwe

in die bevoorregte posisie om twee volledige Bybelvertalings in hul taal beskikbaar te hê. Die Bybelgenootskap van Suid-Afrika het ‘n volledige nuwe vertaling in 1998 uitgegee, nadat die Markus-evangelie aanvanklik in 1976 en die Nuwe Testament en Psalms in 1989 beskikbaar

was. Die vertalers van die nuwe uitgawe was mnre. A. R. Mbuwe en F. C. Raulinga en prof. J. A. van Rooy, bygestaan deur ‘n oorsig komitee.

Tans versprei die Bybel-genootskap jaarliks gemiddeld tussen 15 000 en 20 000 volledige Venda Bybels.

Tannie Esther in hospitaal opgeneem

Mev. Esther Kirsten van Louis Trichardt, wat sedert verlede week in Pretoria behandel word.

Die alombekende en beminde mev. Esther Kirsten (88) van Louis Trichardt is sedert verlede week Maandag in Pretoria in die hos-pitaal waar sy met kroniese melioide leukemie (KML) gediagnoseer is. Dié siekte is behandel-baar met spesiale medikasie.

Daar is egter ook vasgestel dat sy ‘n nie-kwaadaardige vernouing van die dunderm het, wat volgens medici waarskynlik net met ‘n operasie herstel sal kan word.

Volgens haar seun, bekende plaaslike sakeman Johan Kirsten, is sy op 27 Junie in die hospitaal opgeneem. Sy was baie naar en het erge rug- en maagpyn beleef. Na vele toetse het die internis bevestig dat sy KML het. Die naarheid is egter veroorsaak deur die bykomende obstruksie van die dunderm, wat nie verband hou met die KML nie.

Tannie Esther is na die Wilgers Hospitaal se onkologie-afdeling oorgeplaas vir behandeling. “Volgens die internis is Ma se hart, niere en ander organe in baie goeie toestand vir haar 88 jaar en is haar prognose goed,” sê Johan.

Johan het in ‘n e-pos boodskap sy waardering uitgespreek vir vriende en belangstellendes se welwillende meelewing. “Baie dankie vir al die liefde wat julle al vir so lank met Ma en die res van ons deel. Ons weet sy en die dokters is in die hande van die Here en ons bid saam met julle vir Sy seën op al hulle werk en behandeling,” lui die boodskap.

Besoekers aan tannie Esther in die hospi-taal is getref deur haar voortgesette gelowige blymoedigheid - ‘n eienskap wat aan haar ‘n besonder wye vriendekring oor alle grense heen besorg.

Kansa Polokwane wil graag hul dienste uitbrei na Louis Trichardt, Musina, Tzaneen, Phalaborwa en Hoedspruit, maar het die hulp en ondersteuning van hierdie gemeen-skappe nodig.

Die Kanker Vereniging van Suid-Afrika (KANSA) is ‘n diensorganisa-sie wat betrokke is by die finansie ring van kankernavorsing en streef na die bevordering van ‘n gesonde leefstyl en die voorkoming en vroeë bespeuring van kankersimptome. Hulle verleen hulp en verskaf bystand aan kankerpasiënte en ook aan hulle naasbestaandes.

Die organisasie is werksaam in al nege provinsies van Suid-Afrika. In Limpopo is die enigste Kansakantoor geleë in Polokwane. Kanker is egter nie beperk tot ‘n sekere streek of dorp nie, en die voorkoms van kanker in hierdie gebied is kommerwekkend. Derhalwe wil hulle hul dienste uitbrei. Persone wat graag betrokke wil raak word uitgenooi om op 16 Julie die eerste opleidingsessie vanaf 13:00 by die Soutpansberg Dorpswag se kan-tore op Louis Trichardt by te woon. Vir meer inligting, skakel Elze-Marie du Preez (071 215 0333) of Dirk Meissenheimer (082 789 3927).

Rape and common robbery suspect arrested

Number of destitute Zim-children on the increase

Crime

A 41-year-old man, Edward Muleya, was arrested by the Mara police last Saturday after he had allegedly stolen copper cables from a farm near Vivo. He was denied bail by the Louis Trichardt Magistrate's Court on Monday.

The spokesperson for the Mara SAPS, Const Thabelo Rambuda, confirmed the incident. "We arrested Muleya after we found him in a pos-session of copper cables we believe had been stolen," he said. He added that a case of theft had been opened against Muleya. "Muleya was in the company of two friends, who fled the scene. The men are still at large, but members of our detective teams are busy looking for them. Hopefully, they will be arrested soon," added Rambuda. The men had still not been apprehended by the time we went to press.

Muleya is a Zimbabwean national who currently resides in Musina. The case was postponed to Monday, July 11.

Suspect denied bail

Dit wil gedoen wees ... Mnr. Schalk Meyer van Levubu het onlangs sy 205de eenheid bloed geskenk tydens ‘n kliniek van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Bloeddiens. Agter hom staan Riana Viviers (links) en Elna van Zyl van die bloeddiens op Louis Trichardt. Foto verskaf.

'n Lid van die ywerige "blou brigade" wat deesdae Louis Trichardt se strate skoonhou. Die span is klokslag elke middag ná normale sake-ure in aksie en is selfs ná donker saans nog bedrywig met opruimingswerk in die dorp se strate. The Makhado police in Louis Tri-

chardt have arrested a 31-year-old man in connection with rape and common robbery charges. The incident took place on March 8 this year along the Levubu road.

It is alleged that the suspect con-vinced a 26-year-old woman into believing that his employer was in need of a housekeeper. He allegedly led the victim to a plot and, along the way, he changed his tune and raped

the woman. He then fled the scene.The suspect was arrested last

Wednesday, and he may also be linked to another incident where a 20-year-old victim was also conned into believing that she had found a job at a certain plot. The plot is believed to be deserted. The incident happened seven days after the first one, not far away from Leeu Street, on the eastern side of town. According to the police, the suspect and his victim arrived at

the plot. Inside the house, he allegedly grabbed the victim and started touching her inappropriately. The woman realised that he was about to rape her. She apparently managed to push him away and broke lose. She then ran away and summoned help. Captain Maano Sadiki asked people who had had similar experiences to contact the police.

“The suspect could possibly be linked with more cases," he said. People who have any information can call the Makhado police's child protection unit and ask for W/O Mpfuni.

There is a significant increase in the number of unaccompanied minors coming across South Africa’s northern border and arriving in Louis Trichardt, according to a statement by the local of-fice of the Jesuit Refugee Services (JRS) in Louis Trichardt.

The statement was issued in the wake of the local event that marked International Refugee Day in June.

The event was staged at the Makhado Show Grounds by the JRS, in collabora-tion with various other stakeholders.

The JRS is an international Catholic organisation with a mission to accompany, serve and advocate on behalf of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons. JRS undertakes services at national and regional level with the support of an international office in Rome. Founded in November 1980 as a project of the Society

of Jesus, JRS was officially registered on 19 March 2000 at the Vatican State as a foundation.

JRS programmes are found in 51 coun-tries, providing assistance to refugees in camps and cities, individuals displaced within their own countries, asylum seek-ers in cities, and to those held in detention centres. The main areas of work are in the field of education, emergency assistance, health care, livelihood activities and social services. JRS has three projects in South Africa, which are situated in Johannes-burg, Pretoria and in Louis Trichardt. JRS has operated in South Africa since 1997 when it set up the Urban Refugees project in Pretoria and Johannesburg, primarily to cater for refugees fleeing the Grand Lakes region. JRS has been monitoring the situ-ation in Zimbabwe as well as the realities facing “cross borders” when they arrive in

South Africa, with a grave concern about the impact that the socio-economic and political crisis in Zimbabwewas is hav-ing on its citizens. It was with these facts that JRS Limpopo opened its doors on 01 March 2008 to provide support and mate-rial assistance to newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers moving South from Zimbabwe through the border crossing at Beit Bridge in Musina.

“The majority of the clients at the Louis Trichardt office originate from Zimbabwe, although we also get refugees and asylum seekers from countries like the DRC, Zambia and Somalia.

While the majority of people present-ing at the JRS office are young, single males, we have seen increasing numbers of family groups, women and children, with a significant rise in unaccompanied minors,” reads the statement.

The Limpopo ladies field hockey team did the province proud when they finished fifth at the SACD tournament that was hosted by Gauteng North dur-ing the last week in June.

Limpopo got off to a shaky start on the first three days of the tournament and suffered defeats to Eastern Gauteng (0-1), KZN Inland A (0-7) and N OFS (2-6) respectively.

The team regrouped, however, and played well to win all their remaining fixtures. In doing so, they secured fifth place in the tournament. Limpopo beat Mpumalanga (2-1) and Eastern Province (3-2) on days four and five and com-

pleted the tournament with wins against Eastern Gauteng (3-2 on penalties) and KZN Coastal (5-2) in the positional play-offs.

“It was incredible to see how the ladies from Limpopo have improved annually and Limpopo ladies hockey is definitely on the rise. This is the third year that Limpopo has competed at the SACD tournament and every year we have im-proved on our ranking, finishing 12th in 2009 and 8th in 2010,” was the response from team manager Melanie Louw.

"This," Louw said, "means that Lim-popo is a province that will certainly become a force to be reckoned with in the

future. “Everything begins at home and the more ladies we have participating in our league and making themselves avail-able for selection to the provincial team, the stronger our team will be that goes on tour every year,” Louw said. She invited all ladies to join one of the teams in the lo-cal league and to become part of Limpopo hockey. Hettie Trollip (Phalaborwa) was selected for the South African SACD B-team that will be participating in the IPT-B tournament to be held in Bloemfontein in August this year. The Limpopo team thanked Sanrie du Plessis from Specsav-ers in Louis Trichardt for the kit bags that she sponsored.

Oudergewoonte sal daar weer vanjaar 'n vol veld van 128 spelers aan die Soutpansberg Gholfklub se uiters gewilde Hanglip 54-toernooi kom deelneem.

Die toernooi, wat oor drie dae sal strek, is Woensdag voorafgegaan met die klub se tradisionele "perdevei-ling".

Plaaslike spelers word tydens hier-die veiling opgeveil en, afhangende van hul prestasie tydens die toernooi, ontvang die koper die grootste deel van die prysgeld, terwyl 'n deel daar-van aan die klub sal gaan.

Die Hanglip 54-toernooi lok jaar-liks spelers van regoor die hele land en hierdie jaar is geen uitsondering met spelers van so ver as Kaapstad.

Groot moeite word elke jaar gedoen met die organisasie van die toernooi wat vanjaar weer moontlik is danksy die hoofborge.

Donderdag se spel word vanjaar weer geborg deur die Makhado Mu-nisipaliteit. Coca-Cola Fortune Louis Trichardt en die Suid-Afrikaanse Brouerye is die hoofborge vir die tweede dag se spel, terwyl die dorp se sakemanne Saterdag se spel sal borg. Elke dag se spel sal afgesluit word met ‘n prysuitdelingsfunksie en aandete.

Elke dag se spel is in die formaat van ‘n beterbal Stableford, met een algehele wenner wat oor die drie dae aangewys sal word op grond van sy individuele Stableford-telling.
