started contacting each other and arranging access for the teams to come anddo the vaccinations.

The team is now hoping that they will receive the same co-operation formpeople living in town. From Monday to Wednesday they will be in front of theOK Minimark, Burgersfort where people living in Aloe Ridge East, Aloe RidgeWest, Leopard’s Bush, Lion’s Rock, Elephant Hill, Mooifontein and Burgersforttown can bring their cats and dogs to be vaccinated. These vaccinations are freeand can protect your family pets from contracting the disease. The teams willalso be mobile. So, if someone has an animal that is too big to transport, or tooaggressive with other dogs, they are welcome to call one of the members of theteam to do the vaccination at home. They will be at the Minimark from 11:00 –until 18:00.

Residents from Ext. 10 can bring their animals to the gate of BurgersfortClinic where the team will be stationed from 11:00 to 18:00 on Thurday, whileanother team will be stationed at the gate of Motaganeng Village from 11:00 to18:00. Residents from Ext 5 can take their animals to the open ground in frontof the Department of Labour from11:00 to 18:00 to have their animalsvaccinated. The Steelpoort area schedule will be published in next week’snewspaper. The State Veterinary team appeals to everyone to help inthis effort to save lives and to not only bring their own animals, but toalso encourage their neighbours and friends to do so.

Enquiries may be directed at tel 082 767 7936 or 072 553 7043 or 013216 1093.

An outbreak of rabies in the Marone farms area has the State Veterinary Serviceon high alert and actively vaccinating both dogs and cats.

A jackal from the farm Glenora have been positively tested for the disease thatis deadly in humans if not treated immediately. When wild animals such as jackalcontracts the disease they often appear tame and as in the case of the positivelytested animals, come close to humans and their homes.

The owner of the farm where the jackal was killed have had experience withrabies previous and immediately suspected something was wrong when shespotted two jackals coming close to the house. The animals were shot and testsdone at Onderstepoort near Pretoria confirmed what the State Veterinarian andfarm owner feared – an outbreak of rabies. The other animal tested negative.

When an animal with rabies bites another animal or human the disease istransmitted through the saliva. Tame animals may start acting wild andaggressive while wild animals will appear to be tame. Once an animal hascontracted the disease it cannot be cured, it must be put down. When a humanhas contracted rabies and it is not treated immediately some of the symptoms willinclude hallucinations, an irrational fear of water and finally death.

Dogs and cats can easily contract the disease from a wild animal and toprevent this, the State Veterinary Service is launching a massive vaccinationcampaign in Burgersfort and Steelpoort in the next weeks. They’ve alreadyvaccinated more than 60 dogs and 4 cats in the Marone farm area. The team doingthe vaccinations thanked the farmers of the area for their co-operation andsupport in trying to prevent the spread of the disease. The farmers immediately

Debt

As the Christmas season approaches, many SouthAfricans can feel the effect of the recession on theirfinances. For many the stress of the coming festiveseason and the usual spending associated with it, is justtoo much.When your finally sit down and realise that yournormal monthly spending and debt repayment is justtoo much, it is time to visit a debt counsellor.Facing the fact that your spending exceeds yourincome is one of the toughest parts to recovery.The second step is to visit a registered debt counsellor.By law all debt counsellors must be registered with theNational Credit Regulator (NCR). Since 2007 thesecounsellors can help consumers get out of debt. Youare not alone on this journey. Figures show that morethan 90 000 people in South Africa have beenplaced under debt review.Each case is individually reviewed and the debtcounsellor will work out a repayment plan that willallow you pay your living expenses such as rent,groceries, the children’s school fees and the debt.It often happens that a couple bought a house, vehiclesand other items while the economy was good and crediteasy to come by. Many business owners experiencedgrowth and did not expect the sudden vacuum ofincome when mines retrenched people and cancelledfurther contracts.Suddenly people who could affort to live the lifestylethey had, were faced with falling behind on repaymentsof the bond, vehicles etc.When you are under debt review your name will beflagged with SA’s credit bureaus. This means thatpeople you owe money to, won’t be able to take legalaction against you, or repossess your belongings - aslong as you continue to pay the lower rate that the debtcounsellor negotiated with them on your behalf.Your debt counsellor will help you draw up a budget,including accounts such as water and electricity, whichcannot be placed under review.

We will do the following:Protect your assets and appear in court on your behalf.

Rearrange your debt payments to fit your budget.Avoid legal action from credit providers

Avoid being black listedMake only one monthly payment to credit providersTake away the worry about repossession

AurumInstitute’s freeservice at soccera success storyThe Aurum Institute held a soccer tournament at Ga-Manoke on Saturday 7November. Although soccer was on the agenda, the event also served anotherpurpose.The public and players could all visit the Aurumstall where they were weighed, had their bloodpressure taken, could get a TB screening and findout their HIV status. The visitors to the stall whowent to determine their HIV status alsoreceived counselling before the test. One of theareas that did very well was the couples counsellingsaid Mr Oupa Lekhuleni, one of theorganisers of the day.More than 172 people were tested and counselledover the two days.“We find that many people do not have theeconomic resources to regularly visit a clinic ordoctor and that is why we brought the servicethrough the tournament to Ga-Manoke,”he said on Saturday.The Aurum Institute tries to create awareness about HIV and Aids as well as manyother diseases that often goes untreated when people are not screened or wellinformed about the disease.During this week the minister of Health, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi expressed hisconcern about the increase of registered deaths in South Africa. This is where thework of the Aurum Institute is so important. When people know their status andwhat other diseases they have, it can be treated and in cases such as with TBpeople can be cured. This will all contribute to giving life to the people of SouthAfrica.

What do you expect will be theFor many people the 2010 FIFA World Cupcreates stars with money signs in theireyes. They see a way to make money.Money from tourism, from accommodationor other services and products that goestogether with such large scale event.This week we asked what our readersexpect the true effect of the World Cup willbe on South Africa and specifically in ourarea.

Mr Johannes Simelane said: “Burgersfortis too small. Polokwane will benefit butnot us. Polokwane, Pretoria andJohannesburg. The people can gettenders for 2010 and be entrepreneurs”.

Mr Eric Magane said: “It will boost theeconomy of this country and bringstability. There will be no effect herebecause we have no stadiums”.

Mr Justice Malepe said: “Nothing willhappen around here”.

Mr Jack Makofane said: “The business isslow at the moment. It will get bettereverywhere when the World Cup starts”.

Mr Themba Malebe said: “I believenothing will happen here”.

Mr Edward Matshisevhe said: “I think thisWorld Cup brings opportunities and in SAit will be the same as in other countries.Burgersfort is too far away. The people inJohannesburg will benefit”.

Ms Basie Ngwana said: “Burgersfort hasno stadium, but maybe the people willcome for accommodation. Many peoplewill find a job for a short period of time”.

Ms Ntsoakie Moroa said: “It will have andimpact because we are close toPolokwane and Nelspruit. Burgersfort isrich because of the Platinum. People willwant to invest and then we won’t have tosuffer like now”.

Mr Simon Lokweng said: “There will bean impact on South Africa. People willmake money. We are a two hour drivefrom Polokwane and a two hour drivefrom Nelspruit. So the people will drivethrough Burgersfort. People will want tosee the mines and how our people live”.

Mr Bennett Milanzi said: “It will have animpact. The fans will spend money”.

Mr Caswell Khumalo said: “Those who willget development are those cities with thestadiums. The tourists will just passthrough here. They will not buy groceriesin the shops. They will buy a juice andleave. They also want you to register withgovernment if you want to sell at thestadiums - now only government willbenefit and not the people.
