“Ons het ‘n potensiële Marikana af-geweer.”

Só het die voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Distrikslandbouunie (SDLU), mnr. Stephen Hoffman, Dinsdag gesê nadat lede van die boerevereniging en Levubu inwoners, saam met die plaaslike polisie, ‘n skare oproerige stakers gestuit het.

Die skare het verlede Woensdag na Levubu opgeruk. Die inligting wat die SDLU ontvang het, was dat die oproeriges op pad was na Levubu om, na bewering, Laerskool Levubu af te brand, soortgelyk aan skole wat die afgelope week in die geweldgeteisterde Vuwaniarea verwoes is.

Volgens die polisie en Departement van Basiese Onderwys het ontevrede Vuwani inwoners tot op hede 24 skole afgebrand of gevandaliseer. Die betogers is glo vies omdat die Hooggeregshof in Polokwane hulle aansoek om nie onder ‘n nuwe Malamulele Munisipaliteit geklassifi seer te word nie, van die hand gewys het.

RegterPresident Efraim Makgoba het op 29 April gesê die munisipale afbakeningsraad het binne hul magte opgetree toe hulle Vuwani se nuwe grense vasgestel het. Vuwani se inwoners sê hulle is nie vooraf gevra wat hulle wil hê nie.

Betogers het voorverlede week skole in die Vuwaniarea begin teiken en afbrand. Meeste van die skole is geleë in Bungeni, Vuwani, Vyeboom, Masia en Mashau. Sover daar vasgestel kon word, het meeste van die skole ook opgetree as geregistreerde verkiesingspunte.

Laerskool Levubu is ook ‘n verkie

singspunt, en is daarom glo geteiken deur die betogers.

SDLUlede, boere, onderwysers en ouers van die skool het egter die polisie bygestaan. Hul boodskap aan die be togers was duidelik: Tot hier toe en nie verder nie!

Die groep oproerige betogers het vanaf die Mashaukruising se rigting gekom. “Ek sou nie sê dit was ‘n skare van duisende nie, maar daar was seker maklik meer as ‘n 100 van hulle gewees,” het Hoffman gesê. Hy en ander boere in die omgewing het groot lof gehad vir die polisie, en die feit dat hulle bereid was om Levubu se mense te beskerm. “Ons

het nie enige opleiding in onlustebeheer nie, en dinge kon baie lelik uitgedraai het as die skare geweldadig begin raak het,” het Hoffman gesê.

Met die polisie en boeregemeenskap wat vir die betogers gewag het, het die betogers hul planne om tot in Levubu te marsjeer laat vaar en omgedraai. “Ek kan nie sê wat hulle laat besluit het om om te draai nie. Ons is net dankbaar dat hulle van plan verander het en nie kom skade maak het in Levubu of die omliggende plase nie,” het Hoffman gesê.

Sedert die voorval is sekuriteit in die area opgeskerp.

Die polisie het die afgelope week verskeie verdagtes aangekeer wat verbind word met die gewelddadige protes optrede by Vuwani. Meer as 20 skole is deur booswigte aan die brand gesteek. Elf van hierdie verdagtes het hierdie week in die hof verskyn. (Lees berig op p.2)

patrollie om te voorkom dat enige geweld in Levubu uitbreek.

Wat boerderypraktyke betref, het Hoffman gesê, is daar nie drastiese onderbrekings nie. Daar is wel hier en daar ‘n plaas wat gerapporteer het dat van hulle werkers nie toegelaat word om te kom werk nie. Dit, het Hoffman gesê, is ‘n ongerief, maar kan nie vergelyk word met die kragonderbrekings van drie weke gelede nie. Daar is nog steeds boere wat sukkel om die agterstand in te

haal, en heelparty wat ‘n deel van hulle oes moes afskryf weens munisipale wer kers wat gestaak het en kraglyne gesaboteer het.

“Werkers wat nie kan kom werk nie, sal ons nie so dramaties of oor die lang termyn affekteer nie, alhoewel ‘n ouer wat bekommerd is oor sy kind se toekoms nie ‘n produktiewe werker sal wees nie. Dit is egter nie die hartseerste van die saak nie. Die kinders wat nie kan skool toe gaan nie, veral die jonges, wat gaan van hulle word?” het Hoffman gevra.

Hoffman spekuleer dat dit werklose mense is wat die oproerigheid aanhits.

“Dit is hartseer dat hulle goeie werkende mense verhinder om ‘n inkomste te verdien en kinders uit die skool hou,” het Hoffman gesê.

Intussen is Vuwani, Dinsdag amptelik as ‘n rampgebied verklaar deur die Limpopo provinsiale regering. Die besluit is ge neem, sodat fondse beskikbaar gestel kan word om skole te herstel.

Court A at the Malamulele Magistrate’s Court was filled to capacity with family members of the accused in the Vuvani arson cases, interested parties (including leaders of the Malamulele protests), and a large contingent of police at-tending.

Shining in their absence were members of the ProMakhado Task Team, who would have come on previous occassions to show solidarity.

This was during the appearance of 11 alleged arsonists and perpetrators of violence in the Vuwani area. At the same time, six others were appearing in Thohoyandou for similar offences that were committed in the area under Thohoyandou’s jurisdiction.

The accused at Malamulele did not utter a word during their appearance. Only their legal representative, Mr Vhutshilo Nange, urged the court to release his clients on bail, saying they were facing Schedule One offences, which do not need formal bail applications, and that made them good candidates for bail. The state disagreed, saying that the nature of the offences was severe and that investigators needed more time to do their investigations.

The state said they were facing serious charges, where many schools were burnt down and trucks belonging to the government, worth more than a million rand, and other properties were set alight. Presiding magistrate Goodwin Ntsane said that the state succeeded in advancing reasons for not granting bail. “This case is still very new. It is fresh like blood and it being Schedule One offence should

not be an automatic passport to bail. These people did not burn grass, but many schools, more than 20 other properties were torched, trucks and graders belonging to public works were also damaged. Looking at the seriousness of the cases, investigations should also be given a chance,” he said.

He postponed the matter to 16 May 2016 for further investigations. The accused, whose ages range from 20 to 50, will remain in custody. The denial of bail was not well received by family members who were at the court.

Tovhowani Davhana of Vuwani, whose younger brother Rodney was arrested along with three others in connection with the alleged burning of trucks and graders in Vuwani, said it was not fair for the court not to grant them bail after they had spent so many days in custody. “They have been in custody since Wednesday and we do not even know why they were arrested. We had hoped that they would be granted bail today. We are very dissappointed but we will have to wait until their next appearance,” he said.

Meanwhile, Minister of State Security David Mahlobo has issued a stern warning that all those involved in fanning violence in Vuwani would be arrested. “Whether it be a politician, business

Limpopo police spokesperson Lt Col Malesela Ledwaba briefs the media outside the court.

people or traditional leaders involved in this violence, we will hunt you down and arrest you,” he said. Premier Stan Mathabatha also warned that more arrests were eminent, saying the number of those arrested was not yet even a quarter of those to be arrested.

It was also reported that, in a bid to resolve the ongoing unrest in the Vuwani and Mashau areas,

King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana and senior traditional leaders met with Pres Jacob Zuma at Luthuli House on Monday.

Af t e r t he even t , Mphephu said Pres Zuma promised to engage ministers and government officials “to start to roll out awareness campaigns in Vuwani and surrounding areas.” The king added

that the campaign would be aimed at educating residents about the benefits of establishing a new municipality. He added that they all wanted that learning and teaching should continue uninterrupted. Mphephu called for calmness and urged the community to fight against criminal elements.

A number of stakeholder meetings and different communities are underway in the troubletorn area

in an attempt to quell the violence and also bring calm to the area.

Thohoyandou cluster spokesperson Maj Mashudu Malelo has urged communities to guard key points such as schools, clinics and other state properties jealously as they are for their own use. “We urge all communities to desist from blockading roads as it delays police from attending incidents where incidents are reported,” he said.

Limpopo police spokesperson Lt Col Malesela Ledwaba confirmed that more arrests were imminent.

The arrest of the accused is the sequel to incidents that started a fortnight ago, when residents lost a case they had against the demarcation board to prevent their incorporation into a new municipality for Malamulele. Residents had since decided on a complete shutdown to show their dissatisfaction and went on the rampage, burning more than 20 schools, government vehicles, graders, a satellite police station, tribal offices and other property.

Meanwhile, the Vhembe District, known for consistently producing topquality results, has been declared a disaster area, following the torching of nearly 50 schools in the area. The highest number of schools that were torched are in the Vuwani area, with others in Malamulele. According to Education Minister Angie Motsheka, it costs about R30 million to build a school, so the total cost of building new schools is estimated to be more than R500 million rand.

Louis Trichardt

Traffic was held up again on Tuesday, following yet another crash on the corner of Songozwi and Grobler Street in Louis Trichardt. A bus and a bakkie, belonging to the Department of Correctional Services, were invloved in the accident. Rescue workers attending the scene said the reason for the accident was the same old story - people not adhering to the red traffic light. Nobody was seriously injured, and local police have indicated that they are investigating a case of reckless or negligent driving. This crossing has seen many an accident, almost on a monthly basis, over the years.

Nog ‘n mynmaatskappy het hulle visier op die Soutpansbergstreek gestel en inwoners het net hierdie maand tyd om hulle stemme dik te maak as hulle die myn se werksaamhede wil keer.

Subiflex (Edms) Bpk, ‘n filiaalmaatskappy van Signet Coaking Coal, het onlangs aansoek gedoen vir ‘n mynregte lisensie om steenkool te myn op die restante gedeelte van die plaas The Duel. Die voorgestelde mynontwikkeling is sowat 20 km noordoos van Tshipise geleë. Die Nzhelele Natuurreservaat grens aan die projek se oostekant, met die Nzheleledam wat ongeveer 4 km verder na die ooste geleë is.

Volgens die projek se konsepomgewings impakstudie beslaan die plaas 888.5039 Ha en word ‘n ondergrondse oopsteengroef myn beplan. As die myn ‘n realiteit word, sal die oopgroefmyn binne 500 m geleë wees van die Makushustat,

en sal hulle beslis geaffekteer word deur al die myn se skietwerk, geraas en stof.

Buiten vir dié gemeenskap is daar nog tientalle ander kommersiële en wildplase en gastehuise wat in die een tot vyf kilometer buffersone om die myn geleë is, wat drasties geaffekteer sal wees.

Volgens Signet se impakstudie is daar bevind dat al die verskillende plase en besighede in die onmiddellike area van die myn ‘n geskatte R59.45 miljoen per jaar genereer. Hiervan is landboubesproeiingsprojekte die grootste rolspeler met ‘n geraamde R26.28 miljoen (44%) inkomste per jaar. Jagplase wat akkommodasie aanbied, dra R16.80 miljoen (29%) by, met die res van die inkomste wat geïn word deur jagaktiwiteite.

Die belangrikste impak wat die myn uitgewys het, is egter op die hoeveelheid grondwater wat hulle sal onttrek as die myn ‘n realiteit word. Die Duel Project sal met Coal of Africa Limited (CoAL) moet kompeteer vir waterbronne. CoAL

se beplande Makhado Myn grens aan die westelike en oostelike kant van The Duel. Op die vele vergaderings wat CoAL oor die jare met gemeenskappe gehou het, was dit duidelik dat die area nie genoeg water vir myne, landbou en mense en dier het om te kan oorleef nie. Die Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit het ook vroeër in die jaar teenoor die Zoutpansberger erken dat die area, saam met Louis Trichardt, gebuk gaan onder ‘n knellende droogte wat dit moeilik maak om water aan almal te verskaf.

Signet skat dat hulle ongeveer 120 liter water sal benodig om ‘n ton steenkool te verwerk. Volgens hulle studies kan hulle die gebruik van grondwater verminder deur die verskillende waterstrome en bronne tot hul beskikking te herwin.

As Signet se impakstudie nie goedgekeur word nie, sal hulle aansoek om ‘n myn regte en waterlisensie outomaties afgekeur word. Dit, het die myn gesê, sal ‘n groot verlies inhou vir ekonomiese groei op plaaslike, provinsiale en nasionale vlak, omdat hulle die geleentheid sal verloor om hoëgehalte steenkool te benut.

‘n Openbare vergadering sal gehou word op Saterdag, 21 Mei, om 11:00 in Tshipise se boeresaal om die konsepimpakstudie van die Duel myn met die publiek en ander belanghebbendes te bespreek. Om die vergadering by te woon, kan Susan van Eeden gekontak word by tel. 012 543 9093 of per epos by [email protected]. Sy kan ook genader word vir meer inligting oor die projek, of vir ‘n afskrif van die konsepimpakstudie. Griefskrifte kan ook aan haar gestuur word, en moet haar bereik voor 3 Junie.

Buiten vir die Duelmyn is Signet betrokke by nog drie ander projekte in die Limpoposteenkoolkom (sien aangehegte kaart).

A driver employed at the Makhado Municipali-ty, Mr Freddy Khantshi, blames his co-workers for an incident that left his car damaged at his home a fortnight ago.

The municipal workers have been on a goslow strike for nearly four weeks. Workers have convened regular meetings to find a resolution to the issue of “benchmarking of salaries process”. It was apparently during one of these meetings that Khantshi stood up and voiced his opinion.

“The municipality was offering workers R15 000 each, but other workers were not happy about that,” he said. “I begged their understanding and explained that that amount was better than nothing.”

Khantshi said that he had explained that he had listened to a speech by the MEC for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, Makoma Grace Makhurupetje, when she was addressing people in Mogalakwena Municipality.

“The MEC said that the benchmarking of employees’ salaries would only be done across municipalities in the 2018/2019 financial year for the good of municipal workers. So, when the local municipality offered workers R15 000, I thought it was good that we should consider accepting it and wait for 2018.”

He stated that some workers, who spoke in hushed tones, said that they would burn his property because he was betraying the workers’ union. “I was well informed about the workers who planned to burn my property, but I just took it as a joke

because I voiced my opinion in a public space,” he said. “I had no intention to betray any person, and neither did I do anything wrong.”

On Friday night, Khantshi was awakened by a strange sound and when he peeped out through the window, he saw a big fire in his yard. He got out of bed and rushed out.

“My car was on fire,” he said. “I rushed out of the yard and looked down the street. I saw someone whom I knew – a colleague in fact – running down the road.”

He ran back into his yard and started extinguishing the fire. Soon he heard the sound of a speeding car and rushed outside to investigate. “It was the car of the very man whom I had just seen running down the road,” he said.

He explained that something like a hosepipe had been inserted through a hole drilled along the water pipeline and connected to his car. “That pipe was infused with flammable liquids, so that whoever did this cruel thing had done it from outside the yard,” he said. “This is quite disturbing, though.”

The South African Municipal Workers Union’s chairperson, Mr Lawrence Murovhi, condemned the malicious damage of Khantshi’s property. “At this stage we need to allow the police to do their job,” he said. “However, if ever by any chance our members are behind this evil act, we surely do not support this kind of action.”

The spokesperson for the Makhado SAPS cluster, W/O Kedibone Mabatha, confirmed that the police had opened a case of malicious damage to property. “We are investigation this case and we hope to make an arrest soon,” he said.

Waterval-born popular musician Clement “Clemour” Ngobeni went through to the Top-12 stage of M-Net’s TV competition, The Voice South Africa, on Sunday night, but it became clear that he will have to do something excep-tional to edge out his competitors.

Clemour was saved by the votes of his dedicated fans last week. He ousted the popular and highly talented Prime Zulu, but still had to contend with Richard Stirton and Francis Bowers. Richard was the one who received the nod from coach Kahn Morbee, which means that it’s up to Clemour and Francis’s fans to decide their fate in the competition.

On Sunday night, Clemour made a very brave and bold move to render his own version of the popular awardwinning English singer Adele’s Rolling in the deep. The star from Limpopo indicated that he was happy with his performance, even though he was under a lot of pressure and nervous. “You can just imagine the pressure that came with waiting for the results and performing five or less minutes later,” said Clemour.

Clemour said that he was grateful for the support that he had received so far from everyone who had voted for him. “Please, please use the various ways to vote for me and support my dream, because only you can make my dream a reality,” he said.

The judges applauded Clemour for his ability to

always bring in the element of surprise whenever he is on stage and encouraged him to work harder on technical difficulties, such as the pronunciation of words.

The voting ends on Thursday, 12 May, at 22:00.

Misdaadvoorkoming

Die polisie het verlede week afgekondig dat hulle nou amptelik van plaasmoorde ‘n prioriteit gaan maak.

Verlede Donderdag was senior bestuurslede van die SuidAfrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) en burgerregte groep AfriForum in gesprek met mekaar. Volgens AfriForum se adjunk uitvoerende hoof, mnr. Ernst Roets, het dié vergadering ‘n werklikheid geword nadat die waarnemende nasionale polisie kommissaris, ltgenl. Khomotso Phalane, vroeër aangedui het dat plaasmoorde (en ander misdade teen die landbougemeenskap) groter prioriteit moet geniet.

In ‘n verklaring uitgereik deur die SAPD dui die polisie aan dat voorvalle van landelike misdaad en geweld as groeiende tendens geïdentifiseer is in die 2016/17 finansiële boekjaar. Dit was dan ook hul grootste motivering om daadwerklik op te tree teen sulke misdade en derhalwe die besluit om plaasmoorde en –aanvalle te prioritiseer.

“Dit is om dié rede dat ons besluit om hierdie voorvalle as dade van geweld teen persone wat woon, werk of besoek bring aan plase en kleinhoewes, behoorlik te definieer, hetsy dit is met die opset om te moor, verkrag, roof of leed aan te doen,” het Phalane gesê. “Dit sluit in plaaseienaars, plaaswerkers en alle ander landsburgers, ongeag ras, geloof, godsdiens of geslag,” het Phalane bygevoeg.

Die nuwe afbakening sal ook geld vir enige ander geweldsmisdade waarin eiendom of infrastruktuur vernietig word met die opset om wettige

boerderyaktiwiteite te ontwrig.Die SAPD het hulself daartoe verbind om hulle

gewig saam met AfriForum en ander georganiseerde landbouunies in te gooi en deur middel van samewerking plaasaanvalle stop te sit.

Volgens die polisie se analise van die 2016/17 misdaadstatistieke is dit dikwels een, twee of tot en met agt persone wat betrokke is by ‘n plaasaanval. Die aanvallers is ook meestal mans, gewoonlik buitelanders, en tussen die ouderdomme van 20 en 35. Slagoffers is dikwels 50 jaar en ouer.

Die polisie het verder berig dat daar 80 plaasmoorde aangemeld was in die 2010/11 finansiële jaar. Hierdie syfers het gedaal na 49 in die 2015/16

finansiële jaar. Eweneens, het die polisie gesê, het voorval le van geweld op plase en kleinhoewes gedaal van 532 in die 2010/11 boekjaar tot 446 in 2015/16.

Volgens die polisie het hulle KwaZuluNatal, Noordwes, Limpopo en Gauteng geïdentifiseer as knelpunte met polisiestasies waar daar

twee of meer voorvalle van of moord of ander geweldsmisdade aangemeld is, spesifiek met betrekking tot plase.

Dié 11 stasies is KwaDukuza (KwaZuluNatal), Brits, Rustenburg, Mooinooi (Noordwes), Hercules, Hekpoort en Muldersdrif (Gauteng), Modimolle, Westenburg, Letsitele en Lephalale (Limpopo).

Die polisie het nie aangedui hoeveel skuldige plaasaanvallers tronkstraf opgelê is nie, maar het wel bevestig dat daar vonnisse van tussen 25 en 80 jaar opgelê is vir mense wat skuldig bevind is aan plaasverwante misdade.

Plaasmoorde en -geweld nou as prioriteit hanteer

“Dit is om dié rede dat ons besluit om hierdie voorvalle as dade van geweld teen persone

wat woon, werk of besoek bring aan plase en kleinhoewes,

behoorlik te definieer, hetsy dit is met die opset om te moor,

verkrag, roof of leed aan te doen”

Dr. Philip Venter van Louis Trichardt het on-langs sy eerste digbundel die lig laat sien wat deur uitgewers gepubliseer is.

Die digbundel, getiteld Sluimerverse, is ‘n versameling van 140 gedigte met uiteenlopende temas. “Ek het die tema Sluimerverse gekies, omdat ek meeste van die gedigte vroegoggend geskryf het. Dit is ‘n samevatting van eie ervarings wat ek in digformaat neergepen het,” sê Venter.

Die digbundel is sowat twee maande lank al te koop en is goed ontvang. Dit het ook ‘n goeie boekresensie van bekende SuidAfrikaanse skry wer, digter, skilder en resensent Alexander Kritzinger ontvang. As voorwoord tot die digbundel skryf Kritzinger in sy resensie dat Sluimerverse alles is behalwe sluimerend. “Ds. Phillip Venter het die gawe van ‘min is baie’ tot reg laat kom. Die bewys dat hy ‘n mense mens is kom duidelik in sy gedigte voor … Nagmaal vir ons ma’s, Lu-ister, Bosveld en Shalom (fyn sarkasties) spreek duidelik tot mens,” skryf Kritzinger. Hy sê Venter se gedigte is vars en ligvoet, soos dit ‘n prediker betaam. “Maar dit is nie die prediker in die bundel wat tot mens (s)preek nie. Definitief ‘n diep genotvolle bundel en plesier om te lees,” skryf Kritzinger.

Dit is nie die eerste publikasie uit Venter se pen nie. Sy eerste publikasie, Ek was daar, het in 1995 verskyn. Die boek is tans in sy sesde oplaag en bevat hoofsaaklik staaltjies en

Eerste digbundel uit plaaslike leraar se pen

verhale uit die Bosoorlog op die Namibiese grens met Angola, en meer plaaslik die oproer in die “Townships” tydens dieselfde tydperk. Venter het hierdie skrywe opgevolg met die roman Niemands-land sowat ses jaar gelede. Weereens draai die boek rondom die oproer in die “Townships”, maar hierdie keer behels die storielyn ‘n liefdesverhaal. “Ek het ook in 2014 ‘n boek geskryf oor die doop, getiteld Waterskeiding, maar dit is ‘n meer ‘n teologiese skrywe met ‘n geestelik inslag. Tans is ek besig met nog ‘n boek met die titel Die Wiel Draai. Dit sal handel oor die praktiese verwesenliking van die vers in die Bybel wat sê: Wat jy saai, sal jy oes,” sê Venter. Hy beoog om teen die einde van hierdie jaar die boek klaar te skryf.

Sluimerverse word uitgegee deur Marleo Publiseerders teen R180 per eksemplaar. Dit kan van Marleo Publiseerders self bestel word by tel. 083 613 7150 of deur vir hulle ‘n epos te stuur na [email protected].

Venter self beskik oor ‘n paar eksemplare. Hy kan geskakel word by tel. 083 444 7672.

In Memoriam

‘n Bekende in plaaslike perdry-geledere, oom Ockie Fourie, is op 28 April in die ouderdom van 86 jaar in die Wilgers Hospitaal in Pretoria oorlede.

Oom Ockie en tannie Marie Fourie was voorheen inwoners van Rondebosch buite Louis Trichardt, waar hulle ‘n boerdery bedryf het. Veral oom Ockie was bekend vir sy liefde vir perde, en almal wat hom geken het kan daarvan getuig. Menige perderuiters het dikwels na sy spogperde gaan kyk.

Oom Ockie selfs was ‘n kranige ruiter en ook die president van die plaaslike ruiterklub, waar hy ‘n bronsperd wisseltrofee geskenk het wat jaarliks aan die aktiefste ruiter toegeken is. Vir die afgelope paar jaar was die egpaar in Modimolle woonagtig.

The upcoming fete at Ridgeway College in Louis Trichardt will provide budding entrepreneurs and established businesses alike with the oppor-tunity to showcase their wares and services. It will take place on 27 and 28 May.

Although the aim of the fete is to generate funds for the college and the independent school, the price of R300 per stall over the two days of the fete will afford artisans, artists and craftspeople of the area the ideal opportunity to gain access to a wider target market.

The only exception in this regard is the provision of certain food products, since the college itself will be responsible for doughnuts, boerewors in a roll or with pap, Indian cuisine, various curried meals, and cold drinks. A beer tent will be run by the Round Table and a tea garden will cater for those who wish to sit and relax and have something to eat and drink while listening to the live entertainment.

Aspirant singers will have the opportunity to make use of the open mike to show what they are capable of. The fete also promises loads of entertainment for the young ones. A minifunfair will pro vide plenty of excitement, with a number of rides as well as a haunted house for the brave and face painting for the adventurous. For the adults and the young at heart, there will be arcade games,

pillow fights, sponge throwing, a slingshot competition, a tombola stall and a tugofwar competition. Local businesses are invited to enter teams for the latter event at a cost of R50 per team.

Dads are invited to visit the car exhibition provided by local dealerships, while moms shop around at the clothing and bricabrac stalls.

On Friday morning, between 09:00 and 12:00, all local nursery schools are invited to bring the children to the fete, free of charge. Those interested can contact Doret or Charmaine at the school for more information. Entrance at the gates is R20 per person. Dial the school at 015 161 0210 to book a stall or for more information.

Don’t miss out on Ridgeway’s Fete

Religious leaders take stand against violenceReligious leaders, teachers, learner bodies and other stakeholders united over the past week in an effort to call for calm and restore sanity in the Vuwani area.

On 8 May, the Vhembe Pastors Forum took a decision to preach a common sermon on Sunday, denouncing the destruction and looting of school property and the disruption of schooling in Vuwani.

The decision was taken during a crisis meeting held in Louis Trichardt by the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT), SADTU, Professional Teachers Union (PEU), Combined Teacher Unions (CUT), Autonomous Teacher Unions (ATU), National Association of School Governing Bodies, COSAS and the Vhembe Pastors Forum to restore, protect and promote learning and teaching in Vuwani.

“We denounce the destruction and looting of school property and the disruption of schooling. If we do not act, history will judge us harshly,” said forum spokesperson Reverent Dean Alunamutwe Rannditsheni in a combined press release for all the stakeholders.

Lamenting the deplorable situation, Khulekani Skosana of COSAS said: “Every time there are

service delivery protests in the country, parents and adults turn learners into collateral damage when they prevent them from attending classes.” This, Skosana said, was always the case even when the grievances in question were unrelated to schooling and education but ended up impacting the learners negatively. “Our constituency is under siege. The burning of schools is tantamount to destroying our future,” Skosana said.

Over the next few days, the collective will be in discussion with the government to explore ways in which the lost school days can be recouped. Part of the proposed solutions will entail organising study camps which, with guaranteed state security, will secure the safety of learners, and making use of church facilities and underutilised government facilities to continue teaching the children.

“We are ready to go back to the classroom and ensure that children recoup the number of school days they have lost. Once safety and normalcy have been restored to the area, we will go the extra mile,” said SADTU’s provincial secretary, Mathome Raphasha. Teacher unions such as the PEU, CUT and ATU are also fully behind the call

to go back to the classroom to gain back the lost school days.

Similarly, the collective resolved that parents must release their children to continue preparing for their future. “Parents must not hinder learning and teaching,” the collective said. Closing the meeting, NECT CEO Godwin Khosa said: “Parents, teachers, learners, traditional and religious leaders should stand up for the restoration of learning and teaching, and the safety of the learners.”

As part of its campaign to restore and promote learning and teaching, the collective decided to popularise #TheBurningofSchoolsMustFall. Church leaders in the area have also organised a prayer meeting to be held on 11 May at Levubu Primary school at 10:00.

DIE 2016 TOYOTA FORTUNER IS HIER!


Die Zoutpansberger het verlede week begin met ‘n reeks artikels om lesers beter in te lig oor hoe presies mediareg werk.

In die vorige artikel is daar gekyk na wat laster is en hoe ‘n balans tussen laster en vryheid van spraak getref moet word. Die artikels word saamgestel deur Willem de Klerk, ‘n pro ku reur en kenner op die gebied van mediareg. Hierdie week fokus De Klerk op remedies wanneer bewerings wel lasterlik is.

Die eerste ding wat mense dikwels wil doen, is dagvaar vir skadevergoeding. Dit is definitief ‘n opsie, maar is nie altyd die beste opsie nie. Die omvang van skadevergoeding wat ons howe gereeld toeken is relatief min, gemiddeld so tussen R40 000 en R100 000. ‘n Lastereis is dus nie ‘n weg na rykdom nie. Daarbenewens is regskostes hoog en dit neem maklik jare voor jy in die hof staan. Teen daardie tyd is die laster dikwels vergete en stel jy waarskynlik nie meer belang in die saak nie.

Daar is alternatiewe. Wanneer dit ‘n koerant of mediapublikasie betref, is ‘n brief aan die redakteur dikwels ‘n goeie beginpunt.

Waar feitefoute begaan is, vra vir ‘n regstelling en apologie, tesame met ‘n verwydering van die aanlyn berig. Waar jou kommentaar nie gevra is of behoorlik weergegee is nie, vra dat jy spasie gegun word om jou kant te stel en dat dit gekoppel word aan die aanlyn berig.

‘n Klagte by die persombudsman is ook ‘n goeie opsie. Die voordeel hier is dat jy vinnige resultate sal kry teen min of geen kostes. Die persombudsman het ‘n persoon in diens wat jou sal help met jou klagte en geen prokureurs word toegelaat nie.

Waar jy deur Internet publikasies belaster word, eis die onmiddellike verwydering van die publikasie. As dit nie werk nie, nader die Internet diensverskaffer met ‘n sogenaamde take-down notice. ‘n Laaste uitweg sal wees om ‘n dringende hofbevel aan te vra om die lasterlike stelling te verwyder. Meeste sosiale media platforms het ook

“report this post” funksie waar jy die lasterlike inhoud kan rapporteer.

Laster kan ook krimineel wees. Waar jy kan bewys die laster is kwaadwillig ge

pleeg, kan jy ‘n klagte by die polisie indien. Onthou om ‘n rekord te hou van dit waaroor jy kla. Maak uitdrukke van publikasies op die Internet want as dit eers weg is, is dit aansienlik moeiliker om dit weer in die hande te kry.

Agricultural News

The Southern African Maca-damia Growers’ Association (SAMAC) recently completed a round of data collection with updated crop forecasts from all handlers of macadamia nuts.

“The updated forecast for the 2016 season is approximately 39 000 tonnes of nut in shell (NIS; measured at 1.5% kernel moisture content). This is approximately 15% lower than the 2015 crop of 46 000 t NIS, and down on the initial 2016 forecast of 43 000t,” said SAMAC in ‘n press release.

According to SAMAC, South African handlers have revised their forecasts and all indications are that the drought has affected the industry more severely than initially anticipated. Many role players in the industry have indicated a 20% decline in production, compared to the 2015 season, and reports of up to 50% lower production in some areas.

The reason for the lower expected volumes, said SAMAC chairman Walter Giuricich, could be attributed to higher nut drop and the fact that many nuts are smaller than usual with thicker shells, due to the hot and dry

weather conditions. Consequently, lower kernelrecovery rates are being achieved and much lower volumes of kernel can be expected from the South African crop. These factors, as well as high rates of insect damage, most notably late stink bug, will also negatively affect the quantities of kernel being produced and sold in the international market.

“There is a concern that, should the current dry weather conditions prevail, the 2017 crop will also most likely be affected, as dry conditions will not be conducive to achieving good pollination rates,” said SAMAC.

South African singer Jakkie Louw visited Louis Trichardt the past week for the first time in eight years. He entertained residents at the invitation of the girls of Ladies Circle 4 as part of a charity fundraiser. “He is a gentleman and an amazing person on and off the stage,” said the girls from Ladies Circle 4, who also thanked everyone who had bought tickets for Jakkie’s concert, as well as their sponsors: Grasdak Guest House, PD Otto Elektries, Soutpansberg Koelkamers, Vleispot, ISIS Décor, Laerskool Louis Trichardt and Jacques Mouton for the opening act. “Last but not least, thank you Round Table 66 and the 41ers for the cash bar,” said the girls. Pictured here are in front, from left to right, Angelique Hains, Diane Otto, Riana Otto, Christa Otto, Jean-Marie Otto, Jakkie Louw, Ciscka Jansen van Vuuren, Gerda Nagel, Andrew Pienaar en Cherise Gamble.

Deur Isabel Venter

Verlede week het die speke behoorlik gesing by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt - en boonop vir ‘n goeie doel.

Die skool het verlede Donderdag vir die tweede agtereenvolgende jaar hul “Bergfietsbrul” op die skoolterrein aangebied, waartydens hulle ‘n allemintige bedrag ingesamel het vir die Makhado Care Group van Louis Trichardt.

Daar was groot fietse, klein fietse en vrolike karakters wat in spanne deelgeneem het aan die bergfietsuitdaging deur vooraf geld in te samel. Vir die uitdaag is daar ‘n baan op die skoolgronde uitgelê waarop spanne se fietsryers mekaar moes aflos en beurte maak.

Die span wat die meeste rondtes gery het om die baan was die Gym of all Nationsspan, oftewel die Graad 101 klas, wat 31 rondtes voltooi het. Kort op hulle hakke was die Coloursspan (Graad

112), wat 29 rondtes voltooi het, gevolg deur die Hiepies (Graad 91) wat 28 rondtes voltooi en derde geëindig het.

Ander toekennings het gegaan aan Kombo Bere, wat die seun was wat die vinnigste baantyd aangeteken het (02:00) en Christel Coetzer (02:39) wat die vinnigste meisie was.

Van Heerden & Rudolph Prokureurs se “pro”span het hulle self bewys, deur in ‘n rekordtyd ‘n aantal van 34 rondtes te ry.

Teen druktyd was die skool nog besig om al die geld te tel.

Die skool het KFC Louis Trichardt, Autozone, Premjee & Son, en Cycle Centre bedank wat gehelp het om van die uitdaag ‘n reusesukses te maak.

Die Makhado Care Group is welbekend vir die onbaatsugtige werk wat hulle in die plaaslike gemeenskap verrig vir kankerlyers.

Hulle kan gekontak word by 083 403 5752 of 082 902 6271.

Triegie-leeus brul saam in stryd teen kanker

Triegies het verlede week in die sweet (en bloed) van hulle aangesig fondse ingesamel vir plaaslike kankerpasiënte tydens hulle jaarlikse Bergfietsbrul Uitdaag.

Wat is nou lekkerder as om skool te bank in die middel van die dag, en dan nog boonop vir ‘n goeie doel? Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het verlede Donderdag hul jaarlikse Bergfietsbrul aangebied, waartydens hulle geld ingesamel het vir plaaslike kankerlyers.

Kombo Bere van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het sy vernuf op ‘n bergfiets gewys en bo-oor vier leerlinge gespring!

Lede van die Gym of all Nations-span, oftewel die Graad 10-1’s, was die amptelike wenners van die Triegie Bergfietsbrul. Afgeneem saam met hulle is mnr. Rick Pesseguiro van KFC, een van die dag se borge.

Campaign focused on farming and environment

By Mbulaheni Ridovhona

The Department of Agriculture and Rural De-velopment (DARD) hosted its annual farming awareness campaign last Friday at the Tok Barnard farm near Louis Trichardt.

The theme of the awareness campaign was “conservation agriculture as a strategy to mitigate climate change.”

The campaign was launched in 2014 by DARD. This is the first time that the event has been hosted in the Makhado Municipality.

Mrs Gloria Nekhavhambe, a delegate from DARD, said that it would take some time for the awareness campaign to bear fruit, because the concept of Conservation Agriculture (CA) was still new and many people did not know about it.

Mr Michael Netshivhodza explained that CA aims to achieve sustainable and profitable agriculture by promoting three principles: minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover and crop rotation.

Netshivhodza said that the introduction of minimum soil disturbance or no tillage was to curb this negative impact on the soil and also to improve the quality of soil structure needed for plant growth without disturbing it. He added that permanent soil cover served as a layer on the soil surface and acted as mulch for the soil which had not been tilled or had minimum tillage. “The soil layer is protected from the physical impact of rain and wind, but it also stabilizes the soil moisture and temperature in the surface layers,” he said.

He said that diversified crop rotation promoted a healthy living soil. These practices decreased the need for pesticides and herbicides, controlled offsite pollution, and enhanced biodiversity. “The application of a diversified crop rotation increases the overall productivity of the cropping system and, as such, also the longterm profitability, compared to monocropping of economically attractive cash crops, which in the long term, always proves not sustainable,” he added.

Mr Edward Tshikumbane, a member of the Marandela Communal Property Association in which Tok Barnard’s farm operates, said that farming in the communities these days was not always taken seriously. He also added that farming was the backbone of life.Mr Tok Barnard delivers a speech at the event.

More than 300 students from various schools in the Botlokwa (Matoks) community, particularly Grade 12s with maths and science as subjects, attended a career day on 30 April to explore various career opportunities. The event was organised by the Botlokwa Investing in Youth Organization. Institutions who provided career guidance included UNISA, UJ, Transnet, UP, SAMSA, Molemole Municipality, UNIVEN, Ekurhuleni College, Capricorn FET, ABSA Bank and the South African Air Force (SAAF). Pictured here are members of, among others, AFB Makhado addressing children on possible career opportunities within the SAAF. Photo supplied.

Ná aanleiding van die onlangse berig in die Zoutpansberger van die 68-jarige me. Petro Weyers van Louis Trichardt wat besig is om blind te word ná die wrede aanval op haar en haar agtjarige kleindogter, Chaney, het talle lesers gevra hoe hulle haar kan help. Sy benodig dringend ‘n operasie aan beide haar oë om die skade wat tydens die aanval aan haar retinas aangerig is te herstel. Die koste van die operasies beloop sowat R25 000 per oog. Die manne van Tafelronde Zoutpansberg 66 het ingespring en aangebied om te help deur vir haar ‘n fonds te administreer waarin geldelik donasies gemaak kan word. Die tjekrekening is in die naam van Round Table Projekte Rekening, Eerste Nasionale Bank, met rekeningnommer 52866832804. Die woord “Petro” moet as verwysing gegee word. “Let asseblief daarop dat ons nie verantwoordelik is vir bankkoste nie. Ons hanteer slegs die administrasie. Enige kontanthanteringsfooie sal ons moet verhaal,” het die voorsitter van Tafelronde 66, Dirk Meissenheimer, gesê. Vir meer inligting kan hy geskakel word by tel. 082 897 8807.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

Wat is onvoorwaardelike geloof?

Onvoorwaardelike vertroue dat iets sal gebeur? Onvoorwaardelike vertroue in die woord/goedheid/dade van ander?

As ons so rondom ons kyk, as ons bietjie bestekopname neem van ons eie lewens, kom ons voor ‘n belangrike feit te staan:

Ons is nie regtig betroubaar nie.Ons word teleurgestel en stel ander teleur –

en die skokkende, hartseer van dit alles, is dat ons dit oor en oor doen.

Wanneer Abraham die opdrag kry om Isak op berg Moria te gaan offer, tref hy en Sara die voorbereidings wat daarvoor nodig is.

Hy saal die esel op, neem twee slawe saam en gaan na die plek wat God vir hom sou aanwys.

Na al die geloofstappe wat Abraham tot dusver geneem het, moet sy geloof nog steeds beproef word om tot verwerkliking te kom.

(Lees die verhaal van Abraham se beproewing in Genesis 22:712)

Opvallend is dat die beproewing Abraham nie laat oorgaan tot verwyte nie. Opvallend dat Abraham dit as ‘n beproewing ervaar – ons lees in Hebreërs dat hy geglo het dat God Isak lewend vir hom sou teruggee. Daarom gaan sy geloof oor in dade – want hy maak staat op die GETROUHEID van die Here. Hy het onverskrokke geloof in God se krag om te voorsien – selfs al lyk dit menslik gesproke of alles tot niet is.

Ja, so getrou is God dan – Isak lewe. Isak kom ongedeerd van die altaar af. Isak – die beloofde seun, die voortsetting van Abraham se geslagslyn, die seun van die belofte.

God het sy Seun nie van ons teruggehou nie.

Dit het ons dan ook pas herdenk in Paasfees – die Lam geslag vir ons sondes.

Eenvoudig is die boodskap om te verstaan: God se onvoorwaardelike getrouheid wek ons op tot onvoorwaardelike diens en geloof. Ja – sy onvoorwaardelike GETROUHEID wat VERTROUE wek, spoor ons aan om ook GETROU in sy diens te wees.

Die foon lui langs Kathy se bed. Dis diep in die nag en sy weet daar is moeilikheid nog

voor sy haar bedlamp aanskakel. Haar stem is dik en haar oë nog rebels bottoe teen die ongenadige gloeilamp.

“Ja,” se Kathy hees. Sy maak keel skoon en probeer weer. “Hallo?”

Dit neem Kathy ‘n oomblik of twee om agter te kom dis iemand wat huil aan die anderkant. Saggies. Ondramaties.

Kathy kyk na die naam op haar selfoon se skerm. “Daisy?” vra sy verbaas. “Daise ... Wat gaan aan?”

Dan is daar skielik ‘n man se stem: “Kathy, dis Jacobus. Bernard word vermis. Hy is gisteroggend hier weg met besoekers van Duitsland af om te gaan soek na olifante in die Tuligebied in Botswana. Daar was ‘n noodroep en toe ver dwyn die vliegtuig van die radar af. Ons vermoed die ergste. Sal jy asseblief kan kom? Sommer nou?”

Kathy ken Jacobus goed genoeg om te weet hy word net onbeskof as hy onder uiterste spanning is. Sy weet ook dat Jacobus ‘n manier het om dinge bymekaar te hou in ‘n krisis. As die grote man haar vra om te kom help, dan is hulp nodig.

“Ek pak net ‘n paar goedjies. My kar is vol petrol. Ek ry dadelik.”

“Kathy, daar is vriende wat kom help soek na Bernard. Hulle styg op van Grand Central af oor ‘n uur. Sal jy daar kan wees? Ek sal hulle laat weet...” Moegheid slaan deur Jacobus se stem. “Dankie, Kathy. Daisy is buite haarself.”

Kathy weet nie wat om te verwag nie. Daar word min gepraat tydens die vlug op pad Waterpoort toe. Die vriende van Bernard het geen nuus nie. Hulle bespiegel ook nie. Dis net af en toe wat die twee in die voorste sitplekke die nodigste kommunikeer om hulle doen en late en posisie te bevestig aan die lugowerhede. Die vorige keer toe Kathy hierdie manne ontmoet het, was toe Daisy en Bernard getroud is.

Die nag lê nog soos soel ferweel oor die bosveld toe die kragtige straler se enjin bedaar. Jacobus is een van die wat in sy Hilux sit en wag vir Kathy en die vlieëniers om af te klim. Hy groet besadig en sit Kathy se tas en handtas agterop die bakkie.

“Die weervoorspelling sê dit gaan ‘n helder dag wees vandag,” sê hy onbeholpe en half uit konteks. “Daar is koffi e en beskuit vir almal en Ousus het beddens opgemaak vir almal. Daisy en Bernard se huis is half die hoofkwartiere...” verduidelik hy bedees en vou sy dik parka toe oor sy kakiehemp en kortbroek.

Daar is nie veel meer te sê nie toe Kathy uiteindelik suksesvol verby die werfhonde en ‘n sestal rokende manne wurm om vir Ousus ‘n drukkie gee.

“Waar is Daisy?” wil Kathy dadelik weet.“In haar kamer, Kath. Sy praat nie, sy huil nie

eintlik nie ... Eintlik doen sy niks behalwe om

op haar bed te lê nie. Sy het nog nie eers water gedrink nie, maar elke nou en dan hoor ek hoe sy siek word in die badkamer. Miskien kan jy haar sover kry om iets te eet?”

Daar is skaars lig in Daisy se kamer. Kathy gaan lê styf teen haar vriendin en sit haar arm om Daisy se lyf. Lank is daar net stilte. Dan begin Daisy praat.

“Hy het geweet daar gaan iets gebeur, Kath. Verlede week nog het ons gepraat oor alles wat ons gelukkig maak. Gisteroggend het hy my lank vasgehou en wéér vertel hoe gelukkig ek hom maak. My vertel dat dit die gelukkigste is wat hy sy hele lewe nog was. Ek kon agterkom hy wou nie eintlik vlieg nie, maar hy het sy woord gegee vir die Duitsers. Hulle was so opgewonde – veral hulle vierjarige dogtertjie het geblom oor die vooruitsig om olifante uit die lug te sien. Hulle sou gisteraand oorbly in Botswana. As dit nie daarvoor was nie, het ek dalk saamgevlieg. Maar ek het nie lekker gevoel nie ... Heeltyd naar.”

“My liefste vriendin. Ek weet nie wat om te sê nie. Maar jy kan nie moed verloor nie – hulle soek dan steeds na hulle! Oor minder as ‘n uur is almal weer in die lug...”

“Kath, asseblief! Sal jy aanvaar wat ek nou vir jou sê? Bernard is dood. Hulle is almal dood. Ek weet dit net. Ek voel dit.

“Aanvaar dit en help my om solank daarvolgens reëlings te tref. Ek gaan nie uitmekaarval nie. Ek gaan nie histeries word nie. Ek durf nie.

“Ek is swanger.”

Mr Willie Agenbacht, chairperson of the Gister-se-Jeugklub (Yesterday’s Youth Club), sent in the following letter, directed to the Makhado municipal manager:

We are directing this letter to you to bring an important

matter to your attention.Although GisterseJeugklub may

not represent a signifi cant portion of the residents of Louis Trichardt and surroundings, we feel that the thoughts we will express will represent the thinking of more than just a signifi cant portion of inhabitants to whom services are provided.

Some of us have not been in town for quite so many years, but some of us have spent a great deal of our working careers and all of our retirement here. Some of us were even born here. Whatever the case may be, we have always been proud of our town and, where possible, we have done our part to enhance the appearance of our environment. Not even to mention the fact that we have always paid our municipal accounts, which, I think, is something that cannot be said of all residents.

As far as scenery is concerned,

we live in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Consequently, we draw visitors in the form of friends and relatives from various remote areas. We take these people out to see all the lovely places and other attractions, which they rave about. But, oh my word! When we get back into town, we are welcomed by hole upon hole in the streets! Visitors do not rave about that! The perception has always been that when a driver keeps swerving from left to right on the road, he is probably drunk. In Louis Trichardt the standing joke is that if someone drives straight, he is certainly drunk, because only a drunken person would be prepared to do that to a vehicle.

Furthermore, we have events like the Kremetart Cycle Tour and others coming up, which will again draw visitors from all over the country. We are sure that if you lodge an active repair campaign right away, by the time these events take place, the roads will be much less of an embarrassment to yourself and also us. We would prefer to be proud of our town, rather than to be embarrassed.

The Zoutpansberg Private Hospital in Louis Trichardt boasted one Mother’s Day baby on 8 May. Pictured is proud mom Mushiana with baby Thindulo Orinea Sigwavhulimu. Little Orinea weighed 3.08kg at birth and was delivered by Dr Makulana at 23:55. With mom and baby is registered nurse and midwife Sr Rabali. Photo supplied.

Rambo, ‘n reggemaakte mannetjieskat, het Maandag (9de) weggeraak in die omgewing van Forestryweg. Hy is net bietjie ouer as ‘n jaar, en dra ‘n blou bandjie met ‘n naamplaatjie op met sy eienaar se besonderhede daarop. Rambo se “ouers” kan geskakel word by tel. 083 660 2472 (Allan Odendaal). ‘n Beloning word aangebied.

Die Soutpansberg sal op 4 en 5 Junie weer gasheer speel vir een van die streek se grootste sportgebeurtenisse, die jaar-likse Kremetart Fietswedren.

Een nuwigheid ten opsigte van vanjaar se 175 km en 70 kmpadfietswedrenne op 4 Junie is dat die wedrenne nie meer soos vorige jare voor die Toe risme Inligtingsentrum op die N1 sal wegspring nie. Deelnemers sal vanjaar vanaf Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se sportvelde (Leeupark) wegspring.

Inwoners moet nou reeds

daarvan kennis neem dat bogenoemde gedeeltes van Ruh, Anderson en Stubbsstraat (ten opsigte van die 175 kmwedren) vanaf 05:00 tot 07:00 totaal gesluit sal wees vir verkeer. Wat die 70 kmwedren betref, sal daar vanaf 08:00 tot 12:00 gereguleerde verkeersbeheer wees in Anderson tot Rissikstraat en vanaf Rissik uit op die Vivopad. Vanaf 15:00 tot 17:00 sal hierdie gedeelte egter weer totaal gesluit wees vir motoriste, in afwagting op die terugkeer van deelnemers in die 175 kmwedren. Die bergfiets

ryers sal Sondag, 5 Junie, kans kry om hul vernuf te wys tydens die Kremetart XCOwedren. Die wedren beloof om weer heelwat jong nuwelinge te lok aangesien bergfietsry ‘n groeiende sportsoort is. Die eerste wedrenne sal vanaf 08:00 vanaf die Hanglip Bosboukantore wegspring.

Intussen kan mense wat graag ‘n stalletjie wil bespreek, vir Rina Vermeulen skakel by tel. 083 297 6925. ‘n Uitstalruimte kos R500 vir die naweek. Die enigste voorwaarde is dat daar nie ‘n duplikasie van stalletjies en produkte sal wees nie.

With one of the region’s biggest annual sporting events coming up on 4 and 5 June, the Kreme-tart One-Day Stage Race and XCO, local youngsters need not feel left out of the action.

The ever popular KFC Kids Race, sponsored by KFC, the Soutpansberg Cycling Club, Ladies Circle 4 and Soutpansberg Youth Cycling Development, will once again form part of the programme on 4 June. Youngsters can participate in six different age groups, namely a 60m ride for 2 to 3yearolds

and a 100m ride for both the 4 to 5yearolds and 6 to 7yearolds (with an entry fee of R50 per cyclist for all three races), as well as a two, three and fourlap race for the U/10s, U/12s and U/14s respectively. For the last three races, the entry fee is R100 per cyclist.

Youngsters who want to test their mettle can register to compete on the day of the race from 08:00 until 12:00, as per race. The six races, from youngest to oldest, will start at 11:30, 12:00, 12:30, 14:00, 14:30 and 15:00

respectively.Medals will be handed out to

all race finishers, as well as bonus prizes for mini XCO riders. Cash prizes for both boys and girls will be handed out for first to fifthplace winners. There is also a R1 000 cash prize up for grabs for the school or preschool with the most entries. The first 200 entries will also receive goody bags.

For more information, phone Ciska from Ladies Circle 4 as race organisers at 083 686 1530 or race director Stanley Thompson at 082 493 3897.


Louis Trichardt se bergfietsryers het die af-gelope naweek die dorp goed verteenwoordig tydens die gewilde Shikwaru Debtsafe Bergfi-ets-uitdaag buite Mokopane.

“Die wedrenne is baie, baie goed georganiseer en die beeldskone natuur het dit meer as die moeite werd gemaak om deel te neem,” het Mark Archer, wat ook deelgeneem het, na afloop van die wedrenne Saterdag gesê.

In die moordende 75 km wedren het twee van Louis Trichardt se ster fietsryers, Kombo Bere en Douglas Archer, deelgeneem. Kombo het hom goed van sy taak gewkyt en algeheel tweede geëindig in die wedren met ‘n tyd van 03:06:30. Hy was ook algeheel tweede in die 19 tot 29 jaar kategorie. Douglas het algeheel negende klaargemaak in ‘n tyd van 03:55:50 en was ook eerste in die O/18kategorie.

Die grootste groep plaaslike fietsryers het aan die 35 kmwedren deelgeneem. Richard Lambert, wat glad nie vreemd is vir ‘n plek op die podium nie, was die algehele wenner van die wedren in

‘n tyd van 01:25:26. Hy was ook eerste in sy ouderdomskategorie (Youth Men) vir seuns tussen 15 en 16 jaar. Turner de Swardt het op sy beurt algeheel sesde geëindig in ‘n tyd van 01:31:38 (algeheel vierde in die Youthmanskategorie), terwyl Marno van Zyl algeheel 13de was in ‘n tyd van 01:38:18. Van Zyl was ook algeheel derde in sy junior manskategorie.

Christelle Coetzer, algeheel 19de, was die eerste Youthvrou om die 35 km te voltooi in ‘n tyd van 01:41:37. Voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Fietsryklub Stanley Thompson was algeheel 22ste in 01:43:42 en die derde veteraan man tuis. ‘n Paar minute na hom het Joleen de Swardt oor die eindstreep gery. Sy eindig algeheel 48ste, maar was die eerste meisie in die junior vroue kategorie. Mark Acrher was algeheel 56ste in 02:07:22 en Andra Thompson algeheel 61ste in 02:12:24. Andra was ook die derde meesters vrou tuis.

Twee jong fietsryers het op hulle beurt deelgeneem aan die 10 kmuitdaging. Rohan Cronjé was algeheel sesde in ‘n tyd van 00:35:36 en was die tweede subjunior seun, terwyl Rafhiwu Kutama algeheel 11de geëindig het in 00:36:18.

Die Louis Trichardt Rolbalklub spog weer met ‘n provinsiale kampioen, nadat The -resa Jooste die afgelope naweek die ge-sogte Limpopo Kampioen van Kampioene enkelspelkompetisie in Polokwane gewen het. Dié jaarlikse toernooi word oor twee dae beslis, en al die provinsie se klub enkelspelkampioene ding teen mekaar mee om ‘n algehele provinsiale wenner aan te wys. Mans en vrouespelers vanuit al 14 Limpopo klubs neem deel, en tesame met die vorige jaar se verdedigende kampioene spook hulle sake op ‘n rondomtalie basis uit in twee afsonderlike kompetisies. Theresa het die naweek al ses haar wedstryde gewen en sodoende die titel vir ‘n derde keer in-gepalm. Haar vorige oorwinnings was in 2013 en 2015.


Die 2016 Beja Baber Bonanza is weer met groot sukses deur die NG Gemeente Levubu die langnaweek van 30 Junie en 1 Mei by Beja Hengelparadys by die Albasinidam aangebied.

In totaal het 54 boothengelaars en 61 oewerhengelaars van regoor Limpopo aan hierdie vierde Baber Bonanza deelgeneem. Die toernooi is oor twee dae beslis. Die weer het egter vanjaar nie lekker saamgespeel nie, veral nie die skielike kouefront wat die streek dieselfde naweek getref het nie. Vangste was derhalwe maar bietjie aan die skraal kant. So ook is die nuwe Datsun Go, wat as prys gedien het vir die hengelaar wat die gemerkte baber vang, nie gewen nie. Hierdie gemerkte baber swem nog rustig in die dam rond. Volgens die gemeente se ds. Petrus Kriel oorweeg hulle reeds om volgende jaar die kompetisie bietjie vroeër aan te bied wanneer hengelomstandighede meer gunstig is.

In elke kompetisie moet daar egter ‘n wenner wees. Buiten vir die nuwe motor as prys, was die R20 000 as eerste prys vir die grootste baber die groot aantrekkingskrag. Vanjaar is hierdie prysgeld deur JanCarel Pretorius, ‘n leerling van Hoërskool Merensky en inwoner van Levubu, ingepalm met sy allemintige vangs van ‘n baber van 21,71 kg. Hy en twee maats het van ‘n boot af gehengel.

Algeheel tweede was JD Botha, wat met sy baber van 6,51 kg R6 000 in sy sak steek, terwyl Michael Barlow naelskraaps algeheel derde eindig met sy baber van 6,5 kg. Hy wen R3 000.

Wat die juniors betref, steek jong Regardt Smit R3 000 in sy sak as eerste prys met sy 7,68 kg baber. Tweede junior was Karindi Smit met haar baber van 2,61 kg. Sy wen R1 000.

Die gemeente het na afl oop van die kompetisie hul dank uitgespreek teenoor die dag se hoofborge, insluitend ZC Pretorius Versekering, Mount Fuji Motors, Talisman Plant & Tool Hire en Pie City. “Sonder hulle ondersteuning sou hierdie toernooi nie kon plaasvind nie,” het Kriel gesê. ‘n Groot

dankie gaan ook aan Vhavenda Bricks, Vhembe Ys, Cycle Centre, Molozi Trust, RMW Trust en Rondebosch Abattoir vir hulle ondersteuning.
