Louis Trichardt is Louis Trichardt again after High Court sets aside Minister’s decision to change name

Louis Trichardtstays Louis Trichardt

Town gripped in crime wave - businesses

living in fear - page 2

Louis Trichardt is Louis Trichardt again, following a ruling by the High Court in Pretoria on Thurs-day last week.

The decision of the former Min-ister of Arts and Culture, Mr Paul Mashatile, to change the name of the town to Makhado was published in the Government Gazette on 14 Oc-tober 2011. Mashatile’s decision to approve the recommendation of the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC) to change the name of the town Louis Trichardt to Makhado is now set aside by the High Court.

The attorney of Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa, Ms Doris Tshepe, confi rmed that the minister had conceded the review and con-sented to the order to set aside the decision. The fi rst respondent (in this case the Minister) will pay the costs of the applicant, the Chairpersons Association (CA). Tshepe is from the fi rm Cheadle Thompson and Haysom in Johannesburg.

“Whereas the SAGNC satisfied itself that adequate consultations were held prior to the impugned decision taken in terms of the South African

Geographical Names Council Act [Act 118 of 1998] – to change the name of Louis Trichardt to Makhado - the relevant local and provincial geographical names committees failed to ensure that proper records of such consultations were held. As a result, such records cannot be placed before the Court in order to prove … that indeed consultations took place in compliance with the requirements of the Act,” Tshepe said. Mr André Naudé, chairperson of the CA and attorney of Coxwell, Steyn, Vise and Naudé, explained that no application to appeal can be made, since the fi rst respondent had conceded and con-sented. “This is a victory for all good people who want good governance and transparent processes and who stand together in their war against corrupt processes. Non-transparent governing systems result in opportu-nities for corrupt people to govern in the interest of their own pockets only and not in the interest of the citizens of South Africa,” said Naudé.

The chairperson of the SAGNC was the second respondent in the mat-ter and the Makhado Municipality the third. “We are investigating in order to get to the roots of the matter as we were never informed of the proceed-

ings as the affected party. We only got this through the media. Council will make an announcement soon,” said Makhado municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi.

Crime TimelineFollowing a spate of violent armed robberies, the business community of Louis Trichardt is living in fear.

An increased number of attacks and robberies on businesspeople, some of whom were killed in the process, occurred during October. Now, at the beginning of November, the onslaught not only seems to continue, but also seems to escalate in violence. Especially the Indian business sector was hit hard.

Last week saw two prominent Indian businesses, Easy Build and Timbercity in Louis Trichardt, being robbed within a matter of days of each other.

On 29 October, Timbercity was the target of burglars. Employees only real-ised that they had been robbed the fol-lowing morning, when they discovered the hole that the burglars had punched in the wall of a back offi ce. Through this hole, the robbers carried out thousands of rands worth of stock and smaller amounts of cash that had still been in the offi ce. It is suspected that the thugs might have fl ed with their booty into

the adjacent municipal bird sanctuary.On 30 October, two men walked into

Easy Build, pretending to be customers wanting to pay their account. They gained entry into the payment offi ce and, once inside the offi ce, they pulled out a concealed fi rearm and demanded money. They made off with an undis-closed amount of cash.

On Monday another Indian business-man (who remains unidentifi ed) was kidnapped while he was on his way to the bank to deposit money. Police spokesperson Const Irene Radzilane said the businessman was just about to walk into the bank when an armed as-sailant forced him into a waiting vehicle with three more thugs inside. The four robbers drove around with the business-man for several hours before dropping him off 20 km from Louis Trichardt and fl eeing with all his money.

Only one arrest was made and that was in connection with the break-in at Timbercity. Radzilane confirmed on Wednesday morning that one male

suspect was in custody and had yet to appear in court at the time of our going to press.

In the meantime, Radzilane has also confi rmed that the Makhado police are in the process of scheduling an urgent meeting with the Indian businesses community to discuss various security and policing issues with them. The Zoutpansberger also learned from some of these businesses, who wish to remain anonymous for fear of future attacks, that they have increased their personal security. “Everyone is scared and on edge - afraid that they might be next,” remarked one business.

Radzilane also confirmed that the Makhado police are increasing their crime-prevention programmes for Louis Trichardt. These programmes, which are traditionally launched at the start of November, have already kicked off in October, due the high number of violent crimes being committed in town. “We are increasing our efforts,” said Radzilane.

(Contd from P1)“Louis Trichardt is a neutral name,”

said Mr JJ Gohell, also from the Hlan-ganani concerned group.

Naudé explained that Louis Trich-ardt was a trustworthy leader who had a proven track record of standing for peace and reconciliation. “When Louis Trichardt left, Ratsituu Ramabulana declared that the departure of his trust-ed friend ‘Luwishi’was a personal loss to him,” said Naudé.

“It is good that it is Louis Trichardt.

The municipality must stop wasting money on name changes and repair the roads and sewerage,” a resident of Kutama said. “We just want service delivery,” was the only remark of another resident.

“I am overwhelmed. This is a com-munity that stands together for justice. I don’t think it has ever happened that a community fought such a case for the second time and succeeded,” said CA secretary Ms Inga Gilfi llan.

The name of the town had been

Louis Trichardt since 1899. In 2003, it was published in the Government Gazette that the Minister had decided to approve the name change to Makha-do. The High Court rejected the review application of the CA, after which the appeal process started.

The appeal court judged in 2007 that the name change be set aside, due to insuffi cient consultation. This time around, the High Court set the name change aside due to a lack of documentation.

Investigations are still on-going sur-rounding the circumstances that led up to the double murder of Ms Darlene

Mapula Madiba (34) and her friend Victor Mthokozisi Radebe (36).

Following the arrest of Vincent Teboho Moabelo, the bereaved families of Madiba and Radebe have demanded a full investi-gation. Madiba and Radebe were shot and killed on 13 October in her Louis Trichardt home in Duiker Street.

Moabelo, Madiba’s ex-boyfriend, is being held in connection with the killings.

According to court records, it was not Moabelo’s first run-in with the law. During August of this year, Madiba had laid a charge of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm against him. Following the charge, Moabelo’s weapon was seized by the Makhado police. Shortly before the assault case was finalized, however, Moabelo’s firearm was handed back to him.

The circumstances which led to Moa-belo’s weapon being handed back to him are now being investigated by the police. Uncertainty exists whether the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) will also investigate.

The newspaper was able to determine, from law experts, that the release of Moa-belo’s firearm back to him was probably done illegally. At the time of going to press, NPA spokesperson Nathi Mncube had yet to confirm whether a formal in-ternal investigation from the NPA’s side will follow.

In the meantime, Moabelo briefly appeared in the Louis Trichardt District Court again on Friday, 31 October. His case has been postponed until 7 Novem-ber, when he is expected to bring a formal bail application.

Hofnuus

Jong sakeman in hof op verskeie klagte van bedrog‘n Jong sakeman van Louis Trichardt het homself die afgelope week in die beskuldigde bank van die hof bevind op klagte dat hy na bewering talle onder-nemings uit duisende rande bedrieg het.

Die 34-jarige Jacques Steyn, voorma-lige bestuurder van Steyn Staal op die dorp, het vandeesweek vlugtig in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof verskyn op klagte wat verband hou met bedrog en diefstal by wyse van ‘n wanvoorstelling.

Hy is meer as ‘n jaar gelede, op 27 November, aangekla.

Die klagte is teen hom gebring, omdat hy glo kliënte van Steyn Staal onder ‘n

wanindruk gebring het terwyl hy vanaf 2011 tot 2013 daar werksaam was as bestuurder. Steyn word daarvan verdink dat hy sy van misbruik het en kliënte onder die indruk gebring het dat hy die eienaar van Steyn Staal was.

Steyn sou na bewering rekeninge by ondernemings oopmaak, onder die voorwendsel dat hy die alleeneienaar van Steyn Staal is, en produkte vir eie gewin bestel. Hy het ook na bewering kliënte se betalings aan Steyn Staal in sy privaat bankrekening laat inbetaal.

Steyn is sedert hy krimineel aangekla is, nie meer werksaam by Steyn Staal nie, en

het al verskeie kere in die hof verskyn. Sy saak is by ‘n paar geleenthede uitgestel om beide sy prokureur en die Staat geleentheid te gee om verdere ondersoekwerk in die saak af te handel. Dit volg nadat ‘n vertoë, wat Steyn se prokureur in Mei vanjaar gerig het aan die Direkteur van Openbare Vervolging, misluk het.

Steyn sal weer op 21 November in die hof moet verskyn, nadat sy prokureur op rekord onttrek het van die saak. Die saak is uitgestel tot 21 November om Steyn kans te gee om ‘n nuwe prokureur aan te stel. Dan sal ‘n verhoordatum vasgestel word.

Accused Vincent Teboho Moabelo.

Pet owners who wish to board their pets (cats and dogs) at the SPCA’s Louis Trichardt kennels during the Decem-ber holidays must do so in advance.

Bookings can only be made with Mr Lawrence Khodobo between 08:00 and 16:00 and no other bookings will be accepted.

“Please do not leave a voice message on any phone and presume your booking has been accepted. It will not be accepted. We also ask that you do not leave a message with one of the kennel staff,” said Mrs Bea Reimer of the local SPCA.

All pets, cats and dogs, must be inoculated, de-wormed and bathed or dipped before coming into the kennels.

“We will need proof of yearly inoculations, as well as rabies

inoculation when you bring your pet in,” said Reimer.

Inoculation must take place 10 days before the pet is brought to the kennels. Reimer and Khodobo must also be made aware of pets on medication while these are at the kennels.

“If you intend leaving your pets at home during the holiday, please make adequate arrange-ments with a reliable person for them. Remember, there will be fireworks while you are away, so be prepared,” Reimer warned.

The boarding fees are R40 per dog per day and R30 per cat per day. Office hours at the kennels are Monday to Friday from 08:00 until 17:00 and Saturdays from 08:00 until 13:00. The kennels are closed on Sundays and public holidays. People bringing their pets must do so

within business hours. Pets left at the kennels over the weekend must be picked up on Monday, unless arrangements are made before the time.

The SPCA is also in need of books and magazines, as well as jumble (clothes, shoes, toys, kitchen utensils, ornaments and any other jumble) for the frequent jumble and book sales.

Goods can be dropped off at the kennels along the Vondeling Road between 08:00 and 16:00. For those wishing to make a donation, the local SPCA’s banking details are SPCA Louis Trichardt, Standard Bank, ac-count number 282374639 and branch code 052 549.

For more information or in case of emergencies, phone Lawrence at 082 965 5151 or Reimer at 082 424 5712.

The Louis Trichardt ministers forum has collectively informed the Makha-do Municipality of their concerns and disappointments concerning the main-tenance of the local cemetery, as well as the way graves are dug.

“We are of the understanding that it is the municipality’s responsibility to main-tain the graveyard properly and to ensure that the graves are dug correctly, and that this should be completed beforehand, so that a funeral can take place on time, with dignity and sensitivity towards those who have lost loved ones,” the clergy from different denominations write in a letter dated 28 October. Inconvenient incidents that have caused additional trauma for the family in mourning are listed in the letter.

Incidents have occurred where a min-ister had completed the funeral service in church and was only then informed that the grave had not been dug.

“Graves are dug by the TLB backactor and there are times when it is unable to reach the place where a grave should be dug. The result is that some graves are dug

crookedly and sometimes too wide. This is very dangerous for the undertakers as their equipment is limited to the span of a standard grave and a different size makes the lowering of the coffin hazardous. On other occasions, graves were not wide enough at the base to accommodate the coffin. The coffin then had to be removed and members of the family had to get into the grave to widen the base themselves,” said the ministers. Another problem with utilizing a TLB was that it pushed over some gravestones and badly damaged others.

One bereaved family really had a rough deal. “After the funeral service, we had to stand around and wait for about an hour and a half for the grave to be dug. The grave was not dug properly and the coffin had to be forced in, thereby damaging the coffin. We did not want to risk taking the coffin out again in case of more damage,” said Ms Elsie Brand, who attended the funeral of her grandmother in June this year. But there was still another ordeal waiting for the family. “The backactor

operator wanted to drive over some of the graves to fill up the grave. We protested and asked the municipal official to fetch some spades, after which the family did the filling up, with no help from the mu-nicipal officials,” Brand said. In another unfortunate incident at a funeral conducted in August, an elderly, retired minister was said to have slipped at the edge of the grave because of the awkward way that the grave had been dug. “Because he is a tall man, the family could grab him and rescue him as he was falling into the grave. His Bible fell into the grave that had been dug too wide and with a weird circle at the bottom end,” one of the family members, who did not wish to be identified, said.

The ministers further said that the grave numbering at the cemetery was “chaotic” and, at times, graves could not be found because the numbers had been removed. Instances where the grass at the cemetery was uncut, have led to unnecessary trauma and embarrassment for mourning family members.

The ministers strongly insisted that the

Ministers speak out against poor condition of cemetery

graveyard be properly maintained by the municipality and that a degree of respect for loved ones who had passed on be demonstrated. They were adamant that the municipality should use manual labour to dig the graves where it is not possible to do so properly with the TLB.

This week the Makhado Municipality offered their apologies. “We do apologise for what had happened ... And we are going to improve. We have appointed a full-time cemetery caretaker who will also see to it that all the graves are dug as per the required standard,” said municipal spokesperson Louis Bobodi by email.

At this funeral, an elderly minister slipped into the grave (left arrow) and his Bible fell into the grave (right arrow). Fortunately, he was rescued by family members. After the incident, the red carpet (bottom left) was moved away from the edge of the grave.The large heap of soil was too near the grave, making things difficult for the pall-bearers.

This coffin had to be forced in, due to the improper way that the grave had been dug. Apart from that, the family had to wait for more than an hour after the funeral service because the grave was not ready. Photo supplied.


Kompetisie


Soutpansberg Primary School bade a second principal farewell this year on 31 October.

“It was a privilege as leader to have a vision of the potential of the management team – and to give them the opportunities to develop as a strong and capable team. From my side, it was a privilege to be a deputy principal of the school for 14 months and acting principal for six months,” said outgoing acting principal, Ms Stienie Fourie. Fourie has re-tired after a 41-year career in education, of which the last 12 years had been in the position of deputy principal or acting principal.

Fourie is confident that the school, with its 615 learners, is in the hands of an excellent management team until the appointment of a new principal, which is expected sometime in the new year. The post has been advertised in an open gazette in South Africa. Ms Adrie Kloppers, HOD of the Foundation Phase, will be the acting principal in the interim. “We aim high for excellence on the academic side of the school as well as in the extra-mural activities. We can follow in Ms Fourie’s footsteps and she prepared us thoroughly for leadership and

also to bounce back if things get tough,” Kloppers said. Also part of the management team are Mr Nnditsheni Nyamutambo (co-responsible for the senior phase, sports organiser and building and grounds maintenance supervisor), Ms Hester Horn (responsible for the senior phase and organiser of cultural activities) and Mr Wiets Roets (secretary of the School Governing Body).

“The thought of losing Ms Fourie can be pan-icky, but she moulded us together in a team and we will keep it that way,” Nyamutambo said. Horn added that the team had learnt that one can only be a leader if one develops the people under one. Roets assured parents that everything will carry on normally and that there will be no major changes for the time being.

Ms Fourie wished the parents, the SGB, edu-cators and learners everything of the best. “May this school always be an example of excellent leadership and high-quality teaching. To God be the glory,” were her words at the prize-giving function on 29 October. Fourie is looking forward to her retirement as a time of relaxation with her husband.

Souties say goodbye to acting principal

Ms Stienie Fourie, acting principal of Soutpansberg Primary School, retired on 31 October and said that a strong and capable management team, under the leadership of the new acting principal, Ms Adrie Kloppers, was taking over until the appointment of a new principal. From left to right are Fourie and the management team, Mr Nnditsheni Nyamutambo, Ms Adrie Kloppers (acting principal), Ms Hester Horn and Mr Wiets Roets.

Die streek se fotograwe kan begin nader staan, want dit is weer tyd vir die Zoutpansberger en Limpopo Mirror se gewilde jaarlikse kalenderfoto-kom-petisie.

Oudergewoonte word daar gesoek na daardie spesiale foto wat die uniekheid van die Sout-pansberg-streek uitbeeld en enige iemand staan die kans om deel van die R8 400 in vanjaar se kompetisie op te raap.

Fotograwe kan ‘n maksimum van vyf foto’s inskryf. Die foto’s moet in die Soutpansberg-streek geneem wees, maar wildlewe fo-to’s vanuit die Kruger Nasionale Wildtuin is ook welkom. Slegs hoë-resolusie digitale foto’s sal aanvaar word, geen selfoonfo-

to’s nie. Die foto’s kan in hoë resolusie per e-pos gestuur word, of op CD ingehandig word by die kantore van die Zoutpansberger te Joubertstraat 16B in Louis Trichardt. Elke inskrywing moet vergesel wees van die fotograaf se naam, kontakbesonderhede, waar die foto geneem is en met watter kamera dit geneem is.

Uit die inskrywings sal die koerantgroep 12 wenfoto’s kies wat opgeneem sal word in ‘n A2-formaat, volkleur 2015-kal-ender. Elk van die wenfoto’s sal teen R700 by die fotograaf aangekoop word. Die kalender sal deur die Zoutpansberger en Limpopo Mirror gebruik word vir bemarkingsdoeleindes, maar sal ook aan die publiek beskikbaar

gestel word om te koop teen ‘n minimale bedrag.

“Alhoewel daar na tegniese aspekte van die foto gekyk sal word, soos helderheid, resolusie en kleur, moet die foto uiteinde-lik net ‘n mooi kalenderprentjie maak. Enige iemand kan dus in-skryf en jy hoef nie noodwendig ‘n professionele fotograaf te wees nie,” sê Andries van Zyl, nuusre-dakteur van die Zoutpansberger. Inskrywings sluit op Vrydag, 28 November om 12:00.

Vir meer inligting oor die kom-petisie, skakel Andries by tel. 082 603 2419 of 015 516 4997 (tydens kantoorure). Inskrywings kan ook aan hom gestuur word per e-pos na [email protected].

Laerskool Messina se jaarlikse kaskardag op 24 Oktober, as een van die skool se grootste geldinsamelingsprojekte, het weereens vir baie pret en plesier gesorg.

Elke klas moes volgens ‘n tema aantrek en dié jaar was vir seker een van die beste pogings nog gewees. Die Graad 3’s van me. Maryna Fick was die junior temawenners en die Graad 7’s van me. Marietjie Diener en me. Gill Solomon was die wenners van die senior afdeling. Die wenners van die klasse wat die meeste rondtes vir juniors en seniors voltooi het, was die Graad R’e van me. Carina Nel en die Graad 6-klas van me. Annamie Stander. Elkeen van hierdie klasse het ‘n ete by die plaaslike Spur gewen. Die tweedeplek het aan die Graad 1’s van me. Sonia Crossberg en Graad 5’s van me. Charlene Roux gegaan.

Die klasse met die beste spangees was die Graad 3’s van me. Lindy Downy en die Graad 4’s van me. Annene Cloete. Die twee leerlinge wat die meeste geld in die junior en senior afdelings ingesamel het, was onderskeidelik Marike Cloete (R3 420) and Ettienne Roos (R2 430). Hierdie twee het ‘n rit in ‘n helikopter, asook ‘n koedoe, gewen. Wayne Swarts (R2 800) and Heike von Maltitz (R3 000) sal vir Marike en Ettienne vergesel in die helikopterrit as beloning vir hul harde werk. Die klas wat die meeste geld ingesamel het, was die Graad 1’s van me. Christelle van der Walt. As beloning gaan die hele klas op ‘n uitstappie na die Maremani Natu-urreservaat, terwyl hul onderwyser ‘n geskenk van Messina Apteek ontvang het.

Groot pryse was op die spel tydens ‘n trekking

wat ná die kaskardag plaasgevind het. Die skool-hoof, mnr. Dave Diener, het die Nokia Lumia selfoon gewen. Monique Bezuidenhout en Analize Barnard het onderskeidelik ‘n naweek by Forever Resorts Tshipise en Ostend Safarikamp gewen. Leerders was die meeste geld in elke klas ingesamel het, is ook beloon met ‘n klein geskenkie geborg deur dr. Janetta Uys.

Daar was selfs troospryse vir die klasse aan wie se kant geluk nie was nie, naamlik die Graad 7’s van me. Marietjie Diener en die Graad 1’s van me. Amerie Olckers. Hulle kaskarre het voortydig gebreek.

Die skool het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor almal wat ‘n bydrae tot die sukses van die dag gemaak het. Die ouers het geld ingesamel vir die ysies wat tydens die wedren uitgedeel is. Groot dank gaan ook aan die volgende borge vir hul ruimhartige do-nasies: me. L. Libert (Nokia Lumia selfoon), mnr. H. Knott (helikopterrit), mnr. R. Botha (uitstappie na Maremani), me. M. Limbach (Messina Apteek), mnr. H. Schoeman (koedoe), mnr. K. Fourie (koe-doe), mnr. P. Erasmus (naweek op Tshipise), mnr. J. Verster (Ostend Safarikamp naweek) en dr. J. Uys (geskenkies).

“Graag wil ons baie dankie sê aan elke perso-neellid en leerling van Laerskool Messina. Sonder julle sou ons nie die puik bedrag van byna R126 000 ingesamel het nie. Hartlik geluk aan me. Isabel Pietersen wat dié dag gereël het. Dit is sowaar groot werk om hierdie dag suksesvol te organiseer en hierdie jaar was werklik een van die bestes,” het die skool gesê.

Brief

“Is Louis Trichardt werklik nog die skilderagtige dorpie van weleer?”

Daisy is boos ... sommer baie boos. Bernard het haar “verras” met ‘n splinternuwe Toyota Prado om “Miss Soft Serve”, haar motorfiets, te vervang. Soos die Ingelse sê: “No good deed goes unpunished” en Bernard moes dit vinnig leer.

skik vir haar eie spesiale Prado-projek

Letter

This is not the end of the name saga

Bernard weet dat ‘n mens ‘n vrou net moet liefhê en haar nie

probeer verstaan nie. Hy weet ook beter as om die saak met Daisy aan te roer voordat sy afgekoel het. En op die oomblik kan hy hom verbeel dat hy stoom by haar ore sien uittrek!

Dus ry hy rustig berg-op. By Mountain Inn stop hy en, gentle-man wat hy is, help hy vir Daisy uit die kar uit sonder om ‘n woord te sê. Hy hou haar net saggies aan die elmboog vas en stuur haar na die houtdek wat oor die hele dorp uitkyk. Hy bestel nog sjampanje en ‘n yskoue Heineken vir homself.

Dit is meer as ‘n halfuur later wat Daisy vir Bernard in die oë kyk en saggies met hom begin praat: “Ek weet jy verstaan nie, Bernard. En ek is vreeslik jammer dat ek so ‘n scene gemaak het daar by die handelaar, maar soos altyd verstom jy my – enige ander man sou sy stert in ‘n groot krul getrek het en soos ‘n woedende bul in ‘n glaswinkel gereageer het ... Dit sou die hele situasie net vererger het. So, dankie vir jou kalmte.

“Maar wat op aarde besiel jou om uit die bloute uit vir my ‘n ry-ding te koop? En nie sommer enige

ryding nie – dit moet een wees waarvan die koopprys ‘n klein Afrika-nasie vir ‘n jaar kan kos gee? En jy wil hê ek moet dit sommerso gebruik vir die bouery daar

by die gastehuis? Al daai fênsie gadgets en dis nie eers ‘n bakkie wat mens kan gebruik vir karweiw-erk nie...”

Daisy gooi haar blonde hare parmantig oor haar skouer en gluur vir Bernard aan.

“Hokaai, Daisy. Wag nou net ‘n oomblik. Laat ek sien of ek versta-an wat aangaan: jy wil nie ‘n Prado hê nie, maar eerder ‘n bakkie soos myne?” Bernard lyk oorbluf.

“Ek het geweet jy sal nie versta-an nie, Bernard. Ja, gedeeltelik is dit miskien oor die funksionali teit van die kar. Maar ek kan nie vir ‘n oomblik vrede maak met die ho-eveelheid geld wat jy wil spandeer nie!

Een van die hoofredes vir die bouery by die gastehuis is juis om die plaaslike gemeenskap se lewen-speil te verhoog en dan spandeer jy ‘n plaas se geld om ‘n statussim-bool te koop? Ek wil glad nie deel wees van sulke dubbele standaarde nie!” Daisy se oë skiet behoorlik vlamme.

“Haai, Daisy – ek het nooit kon dink dat jy só daaroor voel nie! Om jou die waarheid te sê, het ek

nie vir ‘n enkele oomblik daaraan gedink nie. Al wat ek wou bereik is dat jy moet ophou om met daai be-laglike bromponie rond te rits en ‘n veilige ryding moet hê. Ek weet jy moet partymaal jou beurt afwag om dorp toe te gaan met een van die plaasvoertuie en ek weet jy sal die bouery meer effektief kan bestuur as jy jou eie ryding het. Buitendien is ek so beïndruk met jou werk dat ek gedink het ek kan jou op só ’n manier bedank...”

“Bernard, laat ek en jy sommer nou en sommer hier iets klaarpraat. Ek weet jy is ryk. En vir party meisies sal dit seker manna uit die hemel wees. Vir my het dit nog altyd gepla dat jy ‘n onophoudelike bron van geld so vanselfsprekend aanvaar soos water uit ‘n kraan. Ja, okei – anders as jy het ek arm grootgeword en dit beïnvloed my persepsies. Maar ten spyte van jou welvaart het ek jou as mens leer ken en liefkry en ek gun jou al jou skatte en speelgoed; geniet dit selfs saam met jou as ons rondrits oor die hele wêreld.

“Nou vra ek jou baie mooi – moet asseblief nie verwag ek moet my siel verkoop nie. Ek kan insien dat ek ‘n voertuig nodig mag hê – daar stem ek saam met jou.

Maar op so ‘n flambojante mani-er? Ons weet albei dat daardie geld baie beter aangewend kan word!”

‘n Week later kom kuier Plore vir Daisy die Saterdagmiddag. Hy en Daisy sit saam met twee van Plore se studentepêlle op die stoep en braai. Bernard is vir besigheid landuit en Jakobus en Ousus is vir ‘n week in die Wildtuin.

“Hei, Daise,” vra hy met ‘n gesig wat niks verraai nie, “vertel nou eers van jou nuwe kar, man?”

Daisy giggel maar sy sê niks. Sy weet hier kom ‘n ding en sy wag om te kyk watter kant toe hierdie gesprek gaan. Duidelik het Plore stories gehoor.

“Antie,” probeer Plore weer. “Ek hoor jy kry toe ‘n Prado uit die boks uit met ‘n bloedrooi strik op die dak?”

“Plore, gaan speel op die N1! Jy het verkeerd gehoor. Wie van julle wil nog ‘n bier hê?” Daisy weier om saam te speel.

“Daise, maar wat maak daai wit Land Rover hier op die werf? Nog ‘n jaar of drie en dis ‘n classic daai?” Plore knipoog vir sy vriende wat al lankal die storie van Plore se onkonvensionele tannie gehoor het.

“O, daardie? Ja, dis my nuwe ryding, so met die bouery saam. En dit sal vreeslik handig te pas kom met my nuwe projek om mense al-lerhande nuwe vaardighede te leer.”

“Bernard het die fondse bewillig. Ek noem dit die Prado Projek.”

“As al ons bestuurders maar net só wil bid”

Brief

Toe ek agter dié voertuig op pad na Louis Trichardt vanaf Musina intrek, vang my oog

die skrywe agterop die bak.My eerste gedagte was: Wat ‘n gebed! Laat ek

kyk of die bestuurder dit handhaaf.Vir 30 kilometer het ek net die volgende

beleef: Nie een keer het die bestuurder vinni-ger as 85 km/u gery nie; hy het te alle tye die verkeer op die pad saam met hom in ag geneem, die nodige seine verskaf wanneer dit veilig was om verby te steek en wanneer dit nie veilig was nie; en sy padgedrag het gewys dat hy te alle tye binne die padreëls bly en vinniger verkeer respekteer.

Die logo op die sykant van die trok is Wit-klip Landgoed, sonder enige kontakdetail. ’n Internet-soektog het ook niks positiefs opgelewer nie, want dit is werklik die moeite werd om sulke optrede by die eienaars aan te prys.

My laaste gedagte was – hoe sou die land se paaie gelyk het as elkeen die boodskap en liefde van daardie gebed “uitgery” het.

- Carel Breytenbach (Louis Trichardt)

The following letter is in response to the Makhado/Louis Trichardt

name change case:Unacceptable! The long-held

wish to maintain the status quo should not go unchallenged.

Where are the progressive voices when you need them? Just yester-day I commented on reading this sad news and encouraged all and sundry to read the 300 or so pages Prof Nemudzivhadi wrote towards his Masters degree to get an insight that, notwithstanding the court settlement, the MAKHADO name can’t be eclipsed by that of Louis Trichardt.

I said: “This is a serious setback to the memory of King Makhado and I am sure this won’t lie unchal-lenged. We cannot be held hostage by the remnants of apartheid in the land of our birth. King Toni Ram-abulana, show us the way and lead us from this apartheid monster and deliberate distortion of our history”.

One of my friends, Hadebe Hade-be correctly said: “I am more than upset by this story because I think we are hell-bent on undoing some of the great work that was increasingly shaping our country for the better. Memories of King Makhado cannot be erased by a black government - This is embarrassing”.

I then went further to say “what good did Louis Trichardt bring to deserve this honour over King Makhado and over a million Vhavenda people and others who recognized the leadership of Tshil-wavhusiku tsha ha Ramabulana.”

I am baffled; disappointed, yet convinced that this is not the end and we won’t turn the other cheek to honour this pillager and his cohort, Joao Albasini.

- Thivhilaeli MakatuThohoyandou. (writing from

Croissy-sur-Seine, Paris - France)

Dit is darem voorwaar goeie nuus dat ons dorp nou weer bekend

staan as Louis Trichardt en vertrou dat almal nou daarby sal berus, of gaan daar weer ‘n kinkel in de kabel wees?

Mens wonder net wat die koste-aspek gaan wees om die nodige veranderinge weer in werking te stel, wat die belasting-betaler sal moet opdok en hoe dit dienslewering deur die plaaslike munisipaliteit gaan affekteer? Toe die Stadsraad van Tswhane in Pretoria ‘n tyd gelede van die strate met volksvreemde name bom-bardeer het, was die inwoners se reaksie onomwonde dat dit ‘n groot vermorsing van geld was en wat dan ook ‘n deel van die betoog was teen die naamsverandering. Sit ons hier in Louis Trichardt nie nou met dieselfde probleem nie?

U weet toe RSG die nuus op die radio bekend gemaak het, is verwys na die “skilderagtige dorpie aan die voet van die Soutpansberg…” en wat nou weer bekend sal staan as Louis Trichardt. Pragtige woorde, maar is dit nog die skilderagtige dorpie van lank gelede, of was die nuusmense maar oningelig?

Ek wens hulle kan eerstehands kom ondersoek instel om te sien in watse verwaarloosde toestand die dorp regtig is. My beskeie mening is dat nie meer as 20% van die in-woners meer omgee, veral as mens

na die tuine en sypaadjies kyk. Ons almal weet van die waterprobleme, maar dan gebruik ‘n ou maar ‘n hark om die blare, papiere en ko-spakkies te verwyder. As die slaggat hande uitruk voor jou deur, gooi die ding toe en moenie wag vir die munisipaliteit om dit reg te maak nie. Sou ons net [almal wat ‘n huis besit] dit alleen doen, sal die dorp al klaar beter lyk.

Groot kwelpunte is die volgende:Rommelstrooi: Die taxi-bedryf is

hier van die groot sondebokke. Ons almal weet waar die OK Sentrum [ou Ricky’s] geleë is - kyk wat rig die ‘parksitters’ daar aan, terwyl hulle vir hul klante wag. So ook bestuurders van swaar voertuie wat daar oornag – ‘n morsige spul. Mense wat eet in die parkie laat hulle rommel langs die asblikke en op ‘n Maandagoggend lyk dit of ‘n orkaan die plek getref het!

Kan van ons agbare Raadslede wat omgee nie voorstel dat rom-melstrooiers offisieel vasgevat en beboet word nie [dit gebeur wel in sekere Afrika lande]?

Kom laat ons mense wat nog omgee probeer om ons dorp weer skilderagtig maak en stel ‘n voor-beeld vir die buurman wat dalk nie omgee of beter weet nie. Probeer weer om Louis Trichardt in ‘ERE’ te herstel!!!!

- Inwoner (Louis Trichardt)

Monique Rademeyer van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het haar opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor al die mense wat haar matriekafskeid ‘n onvergeetlike gebeurtenis gemaak het. “Spesiale dankie aan my ma [Mariaan] wat my rok gemaak het, Devonn Thompson wat my metgesel was, tannie Tanja en oom Machiel Roos vir my hare, grimering, naels en die voertuig, oom Frederick en tannie Elize Eloff vir hul bydrae, Daphne Calitz vir die opmaak van my hare, asook almal wat ‘n aandeel in die dag gehad het,” sê Monique.

Tydens die Soutpansberg-tak van die BJV se prysuitdeling vir 2014 is die gesogte Skut van die Jaar-trofeë oorhandig. Van links na regs is Jannie van Zyl (Skut van die Jaar: man) en Frikkie de Jager (Boogskut van die Jaar: man). Afwesig tydens die neem van die foto was Kiewiet Botha (Skut van die Jaar: vrou). Foto verskaf.

Die Bosveld Jagters- en Wildbe waringsvere-niging (BJV) se Soutpansberg-tak het die af ge-lope naweek hul beste skuts aangewys vir die jaar 2014. Johan Holtshauzen raap dié gesogte titel op in die kategorie vir senior seuns. Foto verskaf.

Monique Rademeyer is die afgelope naweek aangewys as die plaaslike BJV (Bosveld Jagters- en Wildbewaringsvereniging) se Senior Meisieskut van die Jaar vir 2014. Foto verskaf.

Die BJV (Bosveld Jagters- en Wildbewaringsvereniging) se Soutpansberg-tak het die afgelope Saterdag hul jaarlikse prysuitdeling gehou by die Rondebosh Lapa net buite Louis Trichardt. Die hoogtepunt van die aand was die aanwysing van 2014 se beste junior skuts. Van links na regs is Erwee Robertse (Junior Boogskut van die Jaar), Gezelle Koen (Junior Meisieskut van die Jaar) en Wiann du Toit (Junior Skut van die Jaar). Foto verskaf.

Dewald Stroebel (middel), oud-leerling van Laerskool Louis Trichardt, het op 25 November ‘n eersteplek behaal in die seuns O/15 100m hekkies tydens die Marius Lengton Gedenkbyeenkoms in Polokwane. Hy hardloop die wedren in ‘n tyd van 13.60 sekondes - ‘n persoonlike beste vir hom. Tweede was Boete Bezuidenhout van Garsfontein (links) en Dakalo Muenda van PEPPS (regs). Foto verskaf.

As die jong Pieter Guillaume van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt aanhou speel soos hy tans speel, gaan Soutpansbergers nog baie hoor van hierdie 16-jarige gholfspeler. Pieter het vroeër vanjaar, kort op die hakke van sy algehele eersteplek in die Soutpansberg Gholfklub se jaarlikse Hanglip 54-toernooi, deurgedring na die fi naal van die landswye Sanlam Kanker Uitdaagtoernooi. Dié fi naal is op 20 en 21 Oktober by Sun City beslis. Die jong Pieter het teen strawwe kompetisie te staan gekom en alhoewel hy nie ‘n plek onder die eerste drie kon losspeel nie, kan hy steeds besonders trots wees op sy prestasie. In totaal het 115 spelers van regoor die land, asook uitnodigingspelers van Amerika, Kenia en Namibië, aan die toernooi deelgeneem. Pieter eindig sesde in die A-afdeling en algeheel 15de uit die 115 deelnemers in die A-, B- en C-afdeling. Hier is Pieter afgeneem waar hy gereed maak om af te slaan tydens die fi naal by Sun City. Hooffoto verskaf.

Erik Welman (links) van Louis Trichardt, wat tans studeer aan die Noordwes Universiteit se Potchefstroom Kampus, het voorverlede naweek deelgeneem aan die Bushveld Classic Muurbaltoernooi. Die toernooi is aangebied by Warmbad Aventura se bane, waartydens Erik deurgedring het na die fi naal en teen Lofty Fourie (regs) van Lephalale te staan gekom het. Hy klop vir Lofty 3-1 in ‘n wedstryd wat 50 minute geduur het. Foto verskaf.

Lara Venter van Louis Trichardt is opgeneem in die Limpopo O/16A-jukskeispan en sal vanaf 13 tot 19 Desember die provinsie verteenwoordig tydens die Suid-Afrikaanse Junior Jukskeikampioenskappe.


Fietsrynuus

Die reën en modder was nie genoeg om deelnemers aan die tweede jaarlikse Seekoei Bergfietswedren op Levubu af te skrik nie.

Hierdie jaar het die wedren, wat op 1 November plaasgevind het, ook fietsryers van Tzaneen en Polokwane gelok. Al die trappers het gery ten bate van die Levubu CVO Skool.

In die 70 km wedren was plaaslike fietsryster Kombo Bere eerste in ‘n tyd van 03:13:17, met Fanus Eksteen tweede in ‘n tyd van 03:19:11 en Rick Coetzee derde in 03:22:16.

Die eerste vrou was Marnelle Pesse-

gueiro in ‘n tyd van 03:42:51, gevolg deur Jernay Mcleod in 04:17:44.70.

In die 35 km kon selfs ‘n harde val nie vir Chris Knoesen (junior) stuit nie, en wen hy in ‘n tyd van 01:25:06. Kort op sy hakke was Zian van den Heever in ‘n tyd van 01:26:13, gevolg deur Conrad Lubbe in die derdeplek met ‘n tyd van 01:30:02.

Soretha Lubbe was die eerste vrou in ‘n tyd van 01:36:33. Die tweede vrou was Ashley Murray in ‘n tyd van 01:47:36, gevolg deur Gesiena Wolmarans in ‘n tyd van 01:56:41.

Oudergewoonte het die 10 km wedren vir baie pret gesorg vir jonk en oud. Die

algehele wenner was Chris Knoesen (se-nior) in ‘n tyd van 00:23:49, gevolg deur die 10-jarige Hugo Rennings in ‘n tyd van 00:27:19, met Eugene van den Heever kort op sy hakke in die derdeplek in 00:27:55.

Die eerste vrou in hierdie kategorie was Peli Elpine in ‘n tyd van 00:35:25, gevolg deur Hilke Janse van Rensburg tweede in ‘n tyd van 00:37:06 en Kim Muller derde in ‘n tyd 00:37:18.

Die organiseerders het na afloop van die wedrenne al hul borge bedank vir hul hulp en ondersteuning, maar in besonder vir Talisman. “Ons reël hom volgende jaar weer,” het die organiseerders gesê.

Organiseerder Jannie Sounes (links) wens vir Chris Knoesen (jnr) ge-luk, nadat hy as algehele wenner van die 35km wedren aangewys is. Foto verskaf. Marnelle Pessegueiro was die eerste vrou oor die wenstreep

in die 70 km Seekoei Bergfietswedren op Levubu. By haar is Jannie Sounes, wat haar prys oorhandig het. Foto verskaf.

Die 17-jarige Kombo Bere het Saterdag die 70km-wedren gewen. Foto verskaf.
