With and increase of 38%from 2007 to 69 mines in 2012 in Limpopo andmore on the way, the need for a local RescueStation became more and more pressing.Before the closest Mines Rescue Station wasin Evander. This station however became toosmall for the needs of all the mines it had toserve. It was also too far away.Every mine must have dedicated, trainedteams who can assist with an emergency atthe mine.

The Steelpoort station is unique
due to the fact that it is the only station in SouthAfrica that will not use mock-up undergroundsituations, but use the old chrome mine forunderground situation training.Mines Rescue Services will provide andmaintain the following services in the miningindustry: Trains (voluntary) rescue personnelto competency of the required skills. Providesexpert advice and consultancy services.Remains proactive to changes in technologyand the environment.

Mr Daniel Sekano said: “No, the kids shouldget everything these days. It is not like inapartheid. Government is failing to provide.Many officials enrich themselves and thenblame others for the problems”.

Mr Neville Makonko said: “You can’t blamethe past for what is happening now.Implement new policies and rectify theproblems of the past”.
Mr Keith Henriques said: “The people thereright now are supposed to be in charge ofeducation. They are pulling Verwoerd upfrom death every time. SA must bring backChristianity to schools. Bring backgodliness.There are also too many peopleresponsible for things - too many cooks spoilthe broth”.
Ms Angie Maishoane said: “No, I don’tagree. What Jacob Zuma is saying is wrong.These people don’t know how to use themoney and they need some training”.
Mr Calvin Mokgotho said: “It is not aboutapartheid. It is all about us. We have to fightfor our future and government must takeresponsibility for the young people of thiscountry”.
Mr Justice Thobakgale said: “I don’t agreewith him. Those who are leading theDepartment of Education are lazy. They arenot working. They must take care and get ridof those not working hard. Especially inLimpopo where books were thrown out andnot delivered”.
Mnr Harry van Emmenis en mnr. Ferdi van Vuuren sê: “Nee, dis dalk eerder Jacob Zuma seskuld as wat dit Verwoerd se skuld is”.
Mr Sandros Rampadi and Mr Serongoa Lloyd Malleka said: “No, it is the fault of ourgovernment. They are looking after their pockets and they don’t care about education. Someof those in government are not educated themselves. It is for Comrades only. Their childrengo to private schools where there are no problems. This must end”.
Mr Samson Motene said: “Previously I wasworking at the British High Commission andI’ve seen how things work. I don’t agree withwhat Zuma said. People before complainedabout apartheid, but now they have their owngovernment and should carry on with a goodthing. They must now stop crying aboutthings done by people who are not ingovernment now”.
Mr Jazzman Ben Sibindi said: “No, it’s been18 years of democracy now. You cannotblame someone who is dead. Blame thepeople in charge. Back in apartheid we werebuying books, not getting them. They mustemploy the right people in the right positionswith the right qualifications”.
Bo: Mnr. en mev. Lategan sê: “Nee, disas gevolg van mense wat nie hul werkdoen nie dat daar probleme in dieonderwys is. Mense is onderbetaal enonopgelei. You pay peanuts, you getmonkeys”. By hulle is Ellouise en WJ.
Regs: Me. Elrien Bekker sê: “Dit kanwees dat die geskiedenis ‘n rol speel,maar as daar tans apartheid is kom ditvan die teenoorgestelde rigting af. Viralles wat verkeerd gaan kry apartheiddie skuld”.

I then set about restoring it”. Icontacted the American Trucking HistorySociety and they assisted me with moreinformation about the truck”. In 1991 thetruck was finally restored to its former
glory and valuated at $18 000. It alsobecame the only 1935 Stewart Stake Truckto be registered and on the road. TheStewart Motoring Corporation filed forbancruptcy in 1939 so not all the parts couldbe restored with originals, but it is about asclose as you will get. Oregon pine was usedat the back and although it has a starter itcan also start with a crank handle at the frontof the truck. It also comes from a time beforecompulsory indicator lights (a headache toexplain to traffic officials). Venter is nonewcomer to restoration. He also owns a1936 steel wheel Mysterious Case Tractorand a 1941 Harley Davidson. After the last
restoration in 1991,20 years passed andthis year Venter feltit time to do a bit ofretouching.Hendrik’sPanelbeaterssprayed the wholetruck and it is now ashowpiece again.
