Pure NonsenseUndiluted political tittle-tattleAccusations of big amounts of money being wasted by the Greater Tzaneen Municipality on staff and litigation culminated in biting words being used by the GTM’s spokesper-son, Mr Neville Ndlala (photo), in a media statement.The fi rst allegations apparently surfaced in
a Facebook entry on Tuesday or Wednesday last week and was followed up by a local com-munity newspaper, that printed a report re-
ferring to the allegations on their front page.Ndlala says inaccurate statements with no
factual basis whatsoever have been made, and he names a GTM councillor as the source of these allegations.He adds that quarterly fi nancial statements,
annual reports and other documents (reports) are available for people to get a picture that is not blurred by any biased political interpreta-tion or propaganda.
Ndlala also points out in his statement that the GTM works according to the law as far as the suspension of the municipal manager is concerned; and before the appointment of a new municipal manager could be considered.It is not clear if this war of words will extend to a next round of allegations and counter al-legations.The GTM’s comment, as per Ndlala, can be
read (verbatim) on page 3.
The Limpopo Department of Health has confi rmed that its psychiatric ward is being renovated, aft er it was dam-aged by a fi re on 29 October last year.
Patients have since been moved to neighbouring hospitals, Van Velden, Kgapane and Dr CN Phatudi. Accord-ing to the department’s spokesperson, Mr Macks Lesufi , a contractor is on site and renovations are underway.
He said that patients are still in the care of their nurses who are working from the designated hospitals.
“A private contractor, which we can-not disclose, is busy with the renova-tions at the hospital’s psychiatric ward. Patients are still with their care givers who are assisting from the three hospi-tals mentioned”, he told Bulletin.
Lesufi also said that the scope of work to be done at the hospital will require an additional two months before the ward can be fully renovated, meaning that renovations can be expected to
be complete by June latest. “We will aff ord the contractor an additional two months from now, to complete the renovations”, he said.
The cost of the renovations is estima-ted at around R4 million. Bulletin also took time to fi nd out, from the Police, about the unidentifi ed body that was found in the debris of the fi re and as to how far they are with investigating the cause of the fi re.
Limpopo’s Police spokesperson, Lt Col Ronel Ott o, said that investigations are continuing but could not confi rm as to the forensic fi ndings and what the cause of the fi re was. She did, however, prom-ise to shed more insight on the accident once investigations are complete.
“At this point we cannot confi rm the details of this accident as investigations are still ongoing. We will keep the media posted on any developments”, she said.

Perdry raak
gewildPerdry se gewildheid neem vinnig toe in die Tzaneen-omgewing, veral ná die opening van die netjiese Tza-neen Equestrian Es-tate van Dawid en Ilse Pieterse by Lushof. ‘n Spesiale Ponie Kamp vir kinders is daar aangebied. Hier sit Ty-ana Zaayman op haar pragtige wit vosperd. • Volgende week meer oor dié kamp.
Vlieg se inbox het die afgelope paar weke behoorlik verstop geraak van die bood-skappe en versoeke van ‘n klompie van sy agtergeblewe kennisse om die aanlyn petisie te gaan teken vir die “behoud” van ‘n Per-versiteit wat nie “innovasie deur diversiteit” wil hê nie! Wat natuurlik die gevolg gehad het dat sy outbox ook sommer gou toegeklink is. Ja, Vlieg was inderdaad naand gat-vol vir hierdie spulletjie!
Vlieg was ook van-melewe vir ‘n paar jaar op ‘n (an-der) Perver-siteitskampus waar Afrikaans, ‘n studentelewe en ‘n kampuskul-tuur belangrike el-emente uitgemaak het van die betrokke Perversiteit, soos dit vandag nog is, ten spyte van, of is dit te danke aan, meertaligheid en meerrassigheid. Deur die genade was akademiese uitnemendheid, innoverende navorsing en moderne relevan-
sie ook deel van Vlieg se Perversiteit, en het dit dus nie met oorverdowende briekgelu-ide agtergebly nie. Vlieg kan nie anders as om skepties te wees oor die alumni van ‘n Perversiteit, veronderstelde intellektuele mense, as hulle hulself daarvoor beywer om in ‘n droomwêreld voort te bestaan nie.
Vlieg wou vandeesweek voorstel dat, aangesien daar
sterk teen-kanting is
teen die in-voer van Engels op voormelde kampus, hulle dit oorweeg
om Mandaryns as voertaal in te stel. Vlieg se idee
is egter ge-hij ack deur die Departement
van Basiese Onderwys wat aangekondig het dat hulle Mandaryns vanaf 2016 gaan instel in skole van graad 4 tot 12 as ‘n addisionele taal omdat China Suid-Afrika se grootste handelsvennoot is.
Vlieg is seker dat dit met die ter perse gaan
van hierdie publikasie al sou uitgekom het dat dit die daaglikse nuus-papiertjie se idee van ‘n April-gekkegrap was, maar Vlieg dink nie dit is so vergesog nie.
Dit sal eendag gegra-dueerdes van voormelde Perversiteit baie help in hulle werksomgewing as hulle ten minste basiese begrippe in Mandaryns onder die knie het. Vlieg dink aan begrippe soos:
通过我的铁锹 Gee die graaf aan!
你在哪里要我扫地 Waar wil jy hê moet ek die vloer vee?
为什么我要为最低工资 Waarom moet ek vir die minimumloon werk?*我们停留在过去 Ons is verknog aan die verlede
Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, ensovoorts, van Vlieg is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die eienaar en personeel van die koerant nie!

Sê jou sêOns het ons Facebook die afgelope week so ‘n bietjie laat rus en iets anders gedoen: ons het naamlik op ons webwerf mense gevra om te stem vir die artikels wat hulle die meeste geniet het in verlede week se Habitat-spesiale bladsye, wat in die koerant aangebied is.Die uitslag hiervan is na ons menig nogal baie interessant. Dit dui daarop dat mense honger is vir inligting en goeie raad oor Eskom se kragonderbrekings en beurtkrag soos dit nou weer kort-kort toegepas word.Ons het besoekers aan ons webwerf ‘n keuse
van drie vrae gebied, oor die onderwerpe wat in die spesiale bylae oor kragverbruik behandel is.Die besoekers het lekker gestem en die uitslag is verstommend. Daar is absoluut eenparig gestem (100% van die besoekers) dat die artikel “The low-down on load shedding with Pierre van den Heever” die insiggewendste is en dat dit hul eerste keuse was.Die ander onderwerpe was:• Safety tips on using candles, en• Alternative cooking sources.
Hierby is die stemgeregtigdes ‘n verdere keuse gebied, dat hulle vir enige ander artikel in die bylae kon stem.Die uitslag bewys nie net dat mense honger is vir inligting oor ons kragprobleme nie, maar ook dat plaaslike kenners vertrou word en as die eerste en beste bron van inligting geag word.Van den Heever is immers die GTM se elektro-tegniese ingenieur en plaaslike mense het gewys dat hulle hom vertrou met raad en inligting oor hoe om die probleme te systap.

I read the story published on the front page of a community newspaperd dat-ed 27 March 2015 with disbelief, fi rstly because as a subject of their story they did not aff ord us an opportunity to give our side of the story, which goes against the South African press code. There was no at-
tempt to contact either the spokes-person, the Munic-ipal Manager or the Mayor to verify whether the con-tents of Councillor Pohl’s lett er are factual. This I believe would have aff orded us an opportu-nity to put the matt er in context and correct the inaccuracies contained in the report. So says GTM spokesper-son Neville Ndlala. He continues:The report has the potential to fur-
ther damage the reputation of the Greater Tzaneen Municipality and its leadership both politically and administratively, in fact to a certain extent damage has been done to GTM’s image and that of its senior officials and councillors.Councillor Pohl, who is in fact a
member of the executive committ ee which is the second highest decision making committ ee in the municipal-ity has privilege to documents that should be able to guide her in her numerous lett ers to various media
houses, but she instead elects to make inaccurate statements which have no factual basis whatsoever.Any person that clearly compre-
hends how local government operates will know that funds for the imple-mentation of projects outlined in the
Integrated Devel-opment Plan (IDP) come from various sources such as own fund, loans, the Municipal In-frastructure Grant (MIG), the Neigh-
bourhood Development Partnership Grant (NDPG), the Integrated Electri-fi cation Programme (INEP) and De-partment of Energy so it can’t be true that we only have R40 million left for the implementation of the IDP.In the 2015/16 fi nancial year GTM will
have a total budget of R1.045 Billion. Here is how the money will be sourced. GTM will received R288 million allocation from the National Treasury in the form of the equitable share, R81.5 million will be levied as a way of property tax, R485 million will be from user charges, R87 million from the MIG.Overtime and legal fees are some of
the burning issues that council is con-
cerned about and has instructed man-agement to urgently att end to these two problems, however it must be noted that a bulk of legal cases dates back to as far as 2008. The legal bill stands at R10,2 million for the current fi nancial year (2014/15) and the overtime bill stands R15.2 mil-lion of which R12.5 million was budg-eted for. We have appointed a pool of att orneys and we have approved the legal fee rate as an intervention which we believe will reduce the legal bill.When it comes to overtime, controls
have been put in place such as review-ing the overtime policy and directors have been instructed to reduce the overtime bill. Overtime is only pre-ap-proved by the directors and payment cannot be eff ected without preapprov-al from the directors. It must also be put on record that
staff cost of the GTM is way be-low the 35% of the overall budget as prescribed by Na-tional Treasury. GTM has always
taken punitive measures against those found to have transgressed either our policies or laws. There are several examples which
have been widely published, the lat-est being the dismissal of the Munic-ipal Manager.
With regard to criminal prosecution of the guilty parties, the DA also has a right to open a criminal case if they have enough evidence of criminality. With regard to the appointment of Acting Municipal Managers, Coun-cillor Pohl knows the exact reasons. We cannot as a municipality appoint a permanent municipal manager un-til the case between GTM and Masi-ye Mankabidi reaches its conclusion, that’s what the law says. The case is at the Commission for
Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitra-tion (CCMA). South African law al-lows for any aggrieved party in a dis-pute to seek any form of remedy in our courts and to exhaust any available av-enue as long as they deem necessary. It is up to the courts to make a ruling
and until Mr Mankabidi exhausts all legal avenues council cannot take any further decision in this matt er.Our quarterly fi nancial statements,
Annual Reports and quarterly Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) reports are available for your indulgence for you to get a pic-ture that is not blurred by any biased political interpretation or propaganda.
Political propaganda, says the GTM
...blurred by biased political
interpretation or propaganda...
... damage has been done to the
GTM’s image...
Drug syndicate bustedTwo men were arrested late last week for the possession of cocaine, nyaope and dagga in
Lenyenye.The two,
a Nigerian National aged 27 and his South African accomplice aged thirty, were
arrested following a tip-off from community members. During the arrest, a suspected stolen vehicle — a VW Polo — cell phones and IT equipment suspected to have been used during the syndicate were recovered.
Police are yet to determine the estimated street value of the drugs but have confirmed that the other items confiscated,
including the VW Polo, are estimated at around R400 000. The suspects will soon appear in the Naphuno Magistrates’ Court on charges of possession of drugs and suspected stolen vehicle and properties. Police investigations are still continuing.

Missing dagga investigatedThe Police in Maake are still investigating the disappearance of ten bags of dagga allegedly stolen from their holding cells almost a month ago.
According to Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe and Lt Col Ronel Ott o, the Tzaneen Police cluster’s spokesperson and the provincial Police’s spokesperson respectively, an internal investigation and processes are still underway.
The dagga in question, estimated to a street value of R35 739, was seized from Samuel Nyakale (54) and Phiwa Gama (21), who were arrested along the R36 (Tzaneen to Lydenburg) road a few days before the theft for being in possession thereof.
Nyakale and Gama were arrested and detained at Maake Police holding cells. They have since appeared in the Naphuno Magistrates’ Court and their case was remanded.
No arrests have been made in connection with the theft thus far.
Bolobedu arrests 81Police in Bolobedu arrested 81 suspects for various criminal cases during the past week: 48 suspects were arrested for public drinking, five for rape, four for assault GBH, four for assault, four for position of dagga, three for robbery, two for murder, two for house breaking and theft, two for theft, two for drunken driving and the rest for attempted rape, shoplifting, violating
a protection order and failing to comply with a maintenance order.
Bedagsame dieweDie eienaar van die Limpopo Mirrror (die grootste gemeenskapskoerant in die provinsie), asook die Zoutpansberger (een van die oudste streekkoerante in Limpopo) is Maandag na die naweek waartydens hy sy verjaarsdag gevier het, met ‘n lied in sy hart en vol moed vir die nuwe lewensjaar, op ‘n slegte geskenk by sy kantoor afgekom.
Hy het Maandag die nuus van die onwelkome geskenk soos volg met die Bulletin se eienaar gedeel:
“Vanoggend was ‘n goeie inleiding vir die jaar. Waarskynlik gisteraand (op my verjaardag) het ‘n groepie bo-oor die muur by die kantoorwerf geklim en heel gemaklik die Toyota Quantum-afl eweringsbussie se ratkas, dryfas en ewenaar verwyder. Die bussie is opgelig, die onderdele verwyder en toe weer redelik netjies op sy wiele teruggesit. Tot die wieldoppe is baie bedagsaam langs die kant gebêre, tesame met die ekstra boute en moere.
“Van wat ons kan agterkom is niks geen ander enjinonderdele of selfs die bande gesteel nie, waarskynlik net dit wat op hul “shopping list” was. Die heining wat geknip is, is ook baie netjies weer “gelas”.
“Ons is soms gelukkig om in ‘n land te leef met sulke bedagsame diewe. Ek is bietjie teleurgesteld dat hulle van die ratkasolie uitgemors het, maar dan weer is dit sekerlik nie te maklik om sonder hysbaktoerusting en baie gereedskap ‘n ratkas en ewenaar in die donker te verwyder nie. As ek die Toyota-agent gevra het, sou dit ten minste twee dae geneem het teen astronomiese koste.”
Nou ja, so gelukkig kan mens saam met die ongeluk wees. Of ongelukkig saam met die geluk. Of sommer net gelukkig-ongelukkig!
• By die Bulletin hoop ons ons kollega se nuwe jaar verloop verder sonder ongeluk; of is een groot geluk!
Drugs recovered by Maake Police during the drug bust operation.
A Ritavi magistrate heard arguments in the bail application of a businessman accused ofkilling his girlfriend’s 63-year-old mother and the girlfriend’s sister (40).
The investigating offi cer, Const Rhu-lani Mathebula, argued that giving Frederick Molewa bail would put Molewa’s life in danger.“The the community where he lives is going to kill him; believe me,” said Mathebula. He told the court about meetings in two villages. “There were some sort of discussing over his future,” he said.
“Some documents circulated stating
that the community is opposing his bail application, signed by the village lead-ers. They don’t want him back there,” said the offi cer. He also told the court that the girlfriend is still out there and very scared. The court also heard the man was still on bail for rape committed in Johannesburg last year. “In this case, the victim had to fl ee from Johannesburg to the Eastern Capeafter he had been released, because she was scared of him.”
Molewa was arrested in Germiston after be-
ing on the run for three days, following the fatal shooting of Mary Mangena and her daughter, Hermina, in Sasekani village. Molewa, from Rwanda village in N’wa-Mitwa, also owns businesses in Johannesburg. He allegedly ar-rived with two Zulu speaking friends from Johannesburg, entered the Mangena’s home in Sasekani and opened fi re on the two women.
Some relatives said the man accused his girl-friend of cheating on him. The day Molewa killed the two women, the girlfriend wasn’t at home.

Villagers say no for bail for alleged ‘killer
The Mopani District Municipality (MDM) has fi nalised the appointment and induction of its audit committ ee (AC) members. The announcement was made on Tuesday and should be welcomed by all tax payers.
The MDM’s municipal manager, Mr Tim Maake, was recently suspended and serious allegations of mismanagement in the MDM are being made.
The MDM has appointed experts from various fi elds as part of the committ ee, in line with the council’s determination to turn around the situation at the institution that has experienced fi nancial management chal-lenges in the past (putt ing it mildly — Ed).
An AC is an independent committ ee consti-tuted to review the control, governance and risk management within the institution, es-tablished in terms of the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA). The AC is re-sponsible for oversight of the institution’s control, governance and risk management.
Furthermore, the committ ee should provide the accounting offi cer/authority with inde-pendent counsel, ad-vice and direction in respect of risk man-agement.
The stakeholders rely on the AC for an independent and objective view of the institution’s risk man-agement eff ectiveness.
ExperiencedAccording to the
announcement it is against this back-ground that the MDM has appoint-ed individuals with experience in gov-ernance, fi nancial management, legal, performance man-agement and infor-mation technology.
The statement says the committ ee will be chaired by the for-mer director general of Limpopo, Dr Nel-ly Manzini. Besides being academically accomplished, she possesses a wealth of experience in gov-ernance. Dr Manzini, a Doctor of Litera-ture and Philosophy, is the former head of department of health and social develop-ment and is currently the regional general manager for the In-dependent Develop-ment Trust.
The other member of the committ ee are:• Mudau F J: Perfor-mance Management experience, BComm, Local Government Fi-nance Certifi cate, ex-ecutive director in the City of Tshwane (2009) and CFO in Polok-wane Municipality from 2013 to date;• Nevhutalu T G: Financial manage-ment experience, BComm Accounting, CA, Limpopo Treas-ury’s deputy director general (June 2005 – December 2011) and CFO (department of
fi nance and eonomic development – Lim-popo: July 2004 to June 2005), MD: 2012 to date (Vhutalu Chatt ered Accountants Pty Ltd); • Adv Kholong S T: Legal experience, LLB, BA Hons, Masters in Business Leadership, executive director (Ekurhuleni Metro: 2008-2011), head of governance (Salga National: 2007-2008) and an advocate of the High Court of SA ( 2011);• Hlomane H G: IT experience, BSc, Masters in Information Technology, head of business information systems (Masana Petroleum Solu-tions – 2007-2013), MD (New Dawn Spectra – November 2005 – May 2007), director (African Legend Technologies, Gauteng: 1999-2005) and a Standard Bank portfolio manager (2005), MD & business owner: 2014 to date (Mehleke-to Wireless Communications);
“The MDM fi rmly believes that the appoint-ment of these experts will help the institution to improve its protracted poor performance in audit outcomes,” according to the state-ment announcing the new AC.

SMITADVISEURS
Vandag stel die Smit Garrun Groep nog een van hul spesialiste in die versekeringsbedryf aan lesers bekend, in die reeks om hul kenners op verskil-lende terreine van versekering (kort-termyn en lewens), mediese fondse, aandelemakelary, sekere eksekuteurs-dienste, beleggings en dies meer.
Wat is jou kwali� kasies en ondervinding?Ek het die nodige krediete soos vereis deur FAIS-wetgewing. Omdat ek reeds voor 2009 in die bedryf was, het ek nie ‘n volledige kwalifi kasie nodig nie, maar is tans besig om my volle kwalifi kasie in korttermynverskering op NQF Vlak 4 te doen, en sal binne die volgende ses maande klaar wees daarmee ook. Ek het nege jaar ondervinding in die kortter-myn-verskeringsbedryf. Ek het ook reeds die regulatoriese ek-samens vir Verteenwoordigers sowel as Sleutelpersone geslaag, soos vereis.Wat se dienste bied jy?Ek spesialiseer in korttermynversekering, met my hoof-fokus op Boerdery en Medium Kommersiële kliënte en hul behoeftes in terme van korttermynversekering.Wat is jou benadering tot � nansiële beplanning?Elke kliënt waarmee ek werk se omstandighede, behoefte, risiko’s en begrotings is uniek. Ek doen te alle tye ‘n behoefte-bepaling met die kliënt, en daarvolgens kom ek dan met voors-telle om sy korttermynrisiko’s te verseker, met die bogenoemde aspekte in berekening gebring.Wat se tipe kliënt sien jy meestel en wat wil hulle bereik?Ek werk hoofsaaklik met boere en sakelui, soos reeds genoem, maar sien ook om na hul persoonlike korttermynbehoeftes. Alle kliënte wil en moet die risko’s wat hy/sy self nie kan hanteer/absorber nie, verseker en ek probeer so ver moontlik die oploss-ing aan die kliënt te bied.
Sal jy die enigste persoon wees wat met die kliënt werk?Nee, ek het twee ten volle opgeleide en gekwal-ifi seerde dames wat al my kantooradministrasie hanteer, maar die kliënt kan my altyd direk kontak. Wat sal ‘n kliënt betaal vir jou dienste en wat sal dit tipies kos?Die behoeftebepaling en voorbereiding van kwotasies/oplossing is gratis en slegs as die kliënt dit aanvaar, word ek vergoed. Ek word
maandeliks ‘n vasgestelde persentasie van die premie betaal, soos gereguleer deur die FAIS-wet. Dus sluit die premie wat die kliënt sien, alle kostes (kommissie en administrasie) in. Die ver-skillende bedrae word wel aan elke kliënt geopenbaar.Hoe bly jy op datum met aspekte wat jou kliënt kan raak?Ek woon gereeld opleidingsessies van die versekeraars by, waar produkopleiding gedoen word. Ek is ook die takvoorsitter van die FIA (Financial Intermediaries Association of South Africa) waar ons deurgaans werksessies het oor sake wat kliënt en die bedryf raak. Ek sorg ook dat ek in voeling bly met my kliënte en hul bedrywe, deur persoonlike interaksie.Hoe word jy gereguleer?Alle Adviseurs wat fi nasiële produkte verkoop, moet gere-gistreer wees by die FSB (Financial Services Board), wat die FAIS-wet toepas. Alle interaksies wat ons met kliënte het, word gereguleer en voorgeskryf deur wetgewing. Ons fi nansiële bedryf is een van die bes gereguleerde bedrywe in die wêreld.Hoe gereeld hersien jy ‘n kliënt se situasie?Dit word jaarlikse gedoen, maar waar ‘n kliënt of sy situasie dit vereis, word dit meer gereeld gedoen.Kan ‘n kliënt dit op skrif kry?Ja, deel van my Aanstelling- en Openbaarmakingdokument wat bespreek word met kliënte en onderteken word, sit ook uiteen die dienste wat ek bied, en die kliënt kry ook ‘n afskrif.

Vertel ‘n bietjie meerVroeër dié week het die burgemeester van die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit die jaarlikse voorlopige begrotingsrede gelewer. Dit moet nog deur gemeen-skappe (wat belangstelling toon en nie maar net kla nie) oorweeg en bespreek word en daar kan nog veranderings kom.
In den brede lyk dit nie te sleg nie, maar papier is geduldig. Die mooi plannepa-pier moet in die praktyk nougeset toege-pas word. Ongelukkig het die geskieden-is al gewys dat die goeie voornemens nie so maklik die eindstreep haal nie.
Om uit die Engels te gaan leen: The road-to hell is paved with good intentions.
Benewens die GTM se voornemens om strenger te waak teen oortydbetaling, die getal werknemers, salaris- en loonverho-gings en die algemene dissipline by werk-ers en bestuur, behoort daar ook meer deursigtigheid te wees oor sake soos bv:
• Wat gaan aan by GTfm, en wat kos die uitsaaipoging die belastingbetalers? Hoe-kom word die boeke hieroor dig gehou?
• Die geldkraantjie na GTeda (die ekon-omiese ontwikkelingsagentskap) word so eff e toegedraai (dis tydig), maar hoe lyk GTeda se suksesse sover en hoekom is die salarisrekening so hoog? Is dit maar net nog ‘n soustrein?
Die GTM skuld nog verskeie antwoorde op verskeie sake en projekte.
Ons Mening Die Boodskap
Dr Jan TruterNed Herv Kerk Letsitele
The morning after the night before...
Salm en GeloofDie Japannese het ‘n beson-dere voorliefde vir salm in hul geregte. Aangesien hulle omtrent 127 miljoen mense is, ontstaan daar voortdu-rend ‘n tekort aan dié voed-selsoort.
‘n Entrepreneur in Amerika het die gaping in die mark gesien en begin om vars salm na Japan in groot tenkskepe uit te voer. ‘n Probleem het egter ontstaan, want omtrent 70% van die salm het gevrek teen die tyd dat dit in Japan aangekom het.
Alhoewel dit steeds winsge-wend was, ten spyte van die groot klomp salm wat gevrek het, kon hy nog meer wins ge-maak het. Uiteindelik het hy die raad van wetenskaplikes ingeroep, om hom met die pro-bleem te help.
Hulle het voorgestel dat hy van die salm se natuurlike vy-ande, haaie, saam in die tenk-houer gooi. Met die volgende besending het 93% persent van die salm oorleef. Die ander 7%
is deur die haaie opgevreet. Hulle konklusie was dat die
salm se drang om te bly leef, hulle laat oorleef het. Die druk waaronder hulle verkeer het, het gemaak dat hulle net sterk-er en sterker word.
Ons lees in 1 Petrus 1:6-7 hiervan: “Verheug julle hieroor, selfs al is dit nodig dat julle vir ‘n kort tydjie allerhande beproewings moet deurgaan, sodat die egtheid van jul geloof getoets kan word. Die egtheid van jul geloof moet getoets word, sodat dit lof en heer-likheid en eer waardig mag wees by die wederkoms.”
‘n Mens wie se geloof nooit onder druk kom nie, se geloof kwyn en vervaag later heelte-mal. Dit is soms nodig dat ons deur beproewings moet gaan, nie omdat God ons wil straf nie, maar juis om ons te leer om te oorleef en net sterker in die gel-oof in Jesus Christus te groei.
Die gevolgtrekking is dat daar nie ‘n groot verskil tussen die salm en die mens is nie. Al-bei het beproewings nodig om lewend by hul bestemming aan te kom!
’n Omvatt ende verslag oor kinders se menings rakende godsdiens in skole sal eers in April vanjaar beskikbaar wees. Om dié rede sal hofstukke van die ses skole betrokke by ’n toetssaak oor skole se godsdiensbeleid en -beoefening waarskynlik eers in Mei by die hof ingedien word. ’n Aan-soek om uitstel is gister by die Hooggeregshof ingedien.
“Ons wil dit opnuut beklemtoon dat tyd nie die bepalen-de faktor in die saak kan wees nie. Daarvoor is die omvang en impak net te groot,” sê mnr Paul Colditz, die uitvoer-ende hoof van die Federasie van Beheerliggame van Suid-Afrikaanse Skole (FEDSAS).
Die Organisasie vir Godsdiensonderrig en Demokrasie het verlede jaar gevra dat die Grondwethof dit ongrond-wetlik verklaar dat sekere godsdienspraktyke voorkeur bó ander geniet. Ses skole word in die aansoek genoem. Die beheerliggame van die ses skole is lede van FEDSAS en FEDSAS vorm deel van dié beheerliggame se regspan.
“Die stem van die kinders is deurslaggewend. Nie alleen is hierdie bepaling al herhaaldelik deur die Grondwethof
bevestig nie, maar die Organisasie vir Godsdiensonderrig en Demokrasie se eie grondwet stel die volgende: ‘That children have the right to say what they think should hap-pen and have their opinions taken into account when adults are making decisions that aff ect children. Die organisasie het egter tot dusver nie aangedui dat die stem van die kind werklik in ag geneem word nie.”
Ten einde gehoor te gee aan die stem van die kinders het die betrokke skole die deskundige dienste van ’n psigia-triese forensiese maatskaplike werker, dr Tanya Robinson, bekom om die stem van die kind in die aansoek uit te bring.
“Dr Robinson se ondersoek verg intensiewe navorsing. Dit sluit onder meer in besoeke aan elk van die ses respon-dentskole gedurende die eerste kwartaal van vanjaar, ’n peiling om leerders se siening rondom godsdienstige prak-tyke vas te stel, die verwerking van data en die opstel van ’n omvatt ende verslag. Dit is ’n tydrowende taak en die ver-slag sal dus nie voor die middel van April beskikbaar wees nie,” sê Colditz.
Die navorsingsprojek is ’n inisiatief van FEDSAS, met AfriFo-rum wat FEDSAS en die skole met die regskoste ondersteun.
Colditz sê dat sake soos hierdie op deurtastende en om-vatt ende navorsing berus. “Die neem van ingeligte besluite is immers ’n kernaspek van ’n demokrasie. Ingeligte beslui-te berus op deeglike inligting en FEDSAS sal as deel van die skole se regspan voortgaan om seker te maak alle moont-like feite rakende die aangeleentheid word ingesamel en ondersoek.”(FEDSAS is ’n vrywillige vereniging van skoolbeheerliggame van openbare skole en staan die behoud en bevordering van ge-halte-onderwys in dié skole voor. Meer as 1 800 openbare skole is reeds lid van FEDSAS.)• Vir verdere navrae oor die inligting in hierdie media-verklaring, tree gerus in verbinding met mnr Paul Colditz (uitvoerende hoof: FEDSAS) by 082 414 5359 of [email protected] of met mnr Werner Human (regsverteenwoordiger: Hurter Spies Ingelyf) by 084 549 6503.www.facebook.com/FEDSAS @fedsas1
Skolegodsdienssaak: Verslag oor “stem van die kind” eersdaags verwag
Ekonomiese OorsigDeur: Victor van Wyk: Smit Garrun Makelaars
Pasop tog vir aweryEk wil ons lesers vandag inlig oor ‘n voor-waarde in kortt ermyn-versekering, wat baie kliënte se verhouding met hul makelaar of versekeringmaatskappy ten tye van ‘n ver-lies versuur.
Die woord ”awery” laat die meeste kliënte wat al ‘n eis gehad het, se hare rys en was die oorsaak van menige onderonsies tussen versekerdes en die diensverskaff er.
Awery is ‘n beginsel wat toegepas word as die versekerde items meer waarde ge-had het ten tye van die eis as waarvoor dit verseker was. Die reël is dan dat die verse-kerde geag word sy eie risiko te gedra het vir die verskil in waarde van die versekerde
bedrag en die werklike waarde by die eis-stadium.
Byvoorbeeld: Jou huis word gedeelte-lik gestroop en jou versekerde bedrag was R200 000. Die eis wat ingedien is, is vir items ter waarde van R100 000. By asssessering van jou eis word vasgestel dat die waarde waarvoor jy verseker moes gewees het, eint-lik R400 000 is. Die versekeraar sal dan awe-ry toepas, wat beteken dat slegs 50% van die eis gehonoreer sal word! Katastrofi es!
• Versekerde waardeDie versekerde waarde van ‘n bate kan òf
die vervangingswaarde òf die markwaarde van daardie bate wees, afh angende van
die tipe polis. Die basis van die waardasie moet by aanvang van die polis verstaan en ooreengekom word, om misverstande te voorkom.
Vervangingswaarde is die werklike kostes om ‘n item of struktuur te vervang na die item se waarde voor die verlies. Vervang-ingswaarde is ook die koste vir die koop of vervaardiging van ‘n soortgelyke produk, om die beskadigde/verlore item te vervang.
Markwaarde is die prys wat behaal kan word tydens die verkoop van die eiendom tussen ‘n gewillige koper en ‘n gewillige verkoper wat handel op ‘n armlengte in die oop mark. Die prys is iets waarop sowel
die gewillige koper en gewillige verkoper saamstem, sonder enige druk of beperk-ings.
Dit word verwag dat albei partye redelike kennis oor die produk dra. Die markwaarde is moeilik om te bepaal, maar riglyne soos die gebruik, skaarsheid, toestand en be-geerte vir die produk gee goeie riglyne. Nog ‘n goeie aanduiding vir die item se markwaarde is die verkoopprys vir ‘n soortgelyke item op die oop mark.
In die meeste gevalle word na die Mead & McGrouther-handleiding verwys, om die waarde van ‘n gebruikte voertuig te bepaal en dit word wyd in die mark aanvaar.
Joy is enjoying an Easter break. She will be back next week
For crying out loudBy Joy Mojela
Write to us at [email protected] or fax your letter to 015 307 7684 or mail it to Box 3838, Tzaneen.
Kindly keep your letters letters short and to the point, and do exercise patience, since we often have too many letters for a particular week
The past fi ve years we have managed to weather the storm in our quest to ensure that our people have ac-cess to sustainable basic services albeit the many chal-lenges that besieged us.
Today a majority of our people live with dignity, how-ever there are those who still live in shacks, there are those who still do not have access to clean drinking wa-ter, there are those who still lack proper sanitation. Our people still need proper houses, roads, clinics, electricity, sanitation and employment.
During the recent Presidential Local Government summit Pres Zuma made it clear that local government exists to service the people and that municipalities must take more decisive ac-tion to involve communities and community organizations in the matt ers of local government.
He said that many communities became impatient when they saw services being delivered to their neighbours, yet they were still waiting. Other reasons were demands for municipal in-frastructure, anger against corruption, nepotism and a non-re-sponsive government.
Back to basics programmeIn an att empt to address the above challenges Government intro-
duced the back to basic programme which focuses on the follow-ing: Basic services to create decent living conditions, good governance, public participation, fi nancial management and institutional capacity.
When draft ing this budget we had to take numerous factors into consideration. These include the infl ation forecast which stands at 5,8% for the 2015/16 fi nancial year.
We also had to keep increases in rates, tariff s and other charg-es at levels that refl ect an appropriate balance between the in-terest of poor households, other customers and ensuring the fi nancial sustainability of the GTM.
The total revenue for the new fi nancial year amounts to R1,045 billion, which represents an increase of R111 million over the 2014/2015 fi nancial year. This increase is mainly due to the increase in service charges, and external grants from cen-
tral government.The total revenue budget includes an amount of
R288m which represents the equitable share allocation to the GTM. An amount of R81,5m will be levied by
way of property tax and R485m will be sourced from user charges. National allocations to fund operational activities amount to R4,4m which in-cludes the Finance Management Grant of R1,6m, the Municipal Systems Improvement Grant of R930 000 and the EPWP Grant of R1,8m.
An amount of R965m has been made available on the operational budget for expenditure. This substantial increase is largely due to the signifi -
cant increase in salaries, repairs and maintenance, contracted services, general expenses and Eskom’s tariff for bulk electrici-ty purchases. The expenditure amount also includes R273m for salaries, R135m for repairs and maintenance and R307m for the purchase of bulk electricity and water.
Economic Development Agency establishedAs Council we established an economic development agency
(GTeda) to drive economic growth and development in the GTM. This agency must ensure that our people a majority of who are in informal business are supported and aff orded an opportunity to grow. They must entice private investment into our municipality so that our people can get jobs and business opportunities.
In the 2015/16 we will grant an amount of R5,5m to GTeda, this amount represents a decrease of R1m on the current budget. The total operational expenditure of GTeda amounts to R5,5m of which R3,8m or 70% represents salaries and an amount of R1,7m or 30% represents general expenditure.
The GTM’s staff cost for the new fi nancial year will constitute 30% of the total expenditure. It is critical that management en-sure that expenditure on overtime does not exceed the budgeted amount. Management must also ensure that there is discipline among personnel and that overtime is kept at a minimum. Man-agement must ensure that policies are implemented stringently.
Several infrastructure projectsBulk purchase will amount to 30%, repairs and maintenance
will amount to 17% and general expenses will amount to 10%.It must be noted that all tariff increases are within the guide-
lines set by National Treasury which confi rms that GTM does not prejudice National Economic Policy on Infl ation.
As a municipality we are currently implementing several in-frastructure projects in various wards. These projects are much needed relief to our residents who are now able to travel com-fortably and have access to economic activities which they pre-viously struggled to reach.
They say sports transcend all boundaries and unite us as peo-ple irrespective of our race or creed. It is because of this reasons and many others that we saw fi t that millions of rands must be invested in recreational facilities.
In few months time, residents will be able to cool themselves from the scorching heat in the municipal swimming pool cur-rently being renovated to the tune of R11,1m. This project was also funded through the MIG.
State-of-the-art sports complexThe construction of the R13 million state-of-the-art sports complex
that boasts four soccer pitches and three netball fi elds complete with artifi cial turf is nearing its completion and part of it is already being used by the community. In the same sporting complex we will build a cricket fi eld which we intend to turn into a provincial cricket hub. This complex in Nkowankowa will also boast an indoor sport centre which will also be equipped with a gym.
In Ward 31 in Lenyenye we are giving the Lenyenye Stadium a facelift at a cost of R14,7m.
An amount of R145m has been allocated for capital expend-iture. This includes the MIG allocation of R87m which will be spent on roads and sport and recreational facilities as well as an amount of R10m which represents counter funding on MIG Projects. Capital from own sources amounts to R53m.
We will allocate more or less R80m for the upgrading of roads in rural areas, and almost R14m for upgrading of a community hall in Relela and upgrading of Runnymede sports facility.
More for the mayor’s fundsAn amount of R300 000 will be set aside for the mayor’s spe-
cial account and R800 000 will be set aside for the mayor’s bur-sary account.
In order for this municipality to remain sustainable it is im-perative that revenue collection rates are improved. Residents must start to pay for services rendered and do so in time.
Property rate increases are necessitated by among others the infl ation rate. The property rates will go up by 5,8 %. Electricity will go up by 12.2 %, refuse removal will go up by 6%, water will also go up by 6% and so will sewer.

In order to comply with the procedures set out in Clauses 37 to 40 of the Supply Chain Management Policy; Regulation 14 of SCM Regulations and the Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (Act 56 of 2003) (MFMA), the municipality developed a supplier database to be used by the Supply Chain Management o� ce.

Stanford Lake College recently host-ed the popular Wik Triathlon and it was once again a huge success.
The Wik was started to commemo-rate Wik van der Walt who was a staff member at Stanford Lake College. Unfortunately he passed away on in June 2012, while he was competing in a mountain bike race.
He was a member of the outdoor centre staff and very passionate about the environment and adventure. This year 320 athletes participated in the event, 80 more than last year!

Was Oubal nou stomverbaas om onlangs te lees dat Greg Martin, voormalige Wallaby en deesdae Aussie-televisiekommintator, sê David Pocock is nie geskik om weer Wallaby-kaptein te wees nie.
Eintlik skeel dit Oubal min wie die Aussies as hul kaptein kies, maar Pocock is een van ons mense. Wel, soort van, want hy is ‘n Zimbabwiër van geboorte en het as sulks darem ‘n opvoeding ontvang, voor hy as twaalfj arige Aus toe is. Die ander helft e van die storie is dat Pocock opgestaan het teen Jacques Potgieter, Heyneke Meyer se voormalige ongeleide missiel (en dus ook een van ons mense), wat deesdae vir die Waratahs speel.
‘Tja, die storie is dat Potgieter in die wedstryd tussen Pocock se Brumbies en die Waratahs telkens die woord “faggot” teenoor ‘n Brumbiespeler gebruik het. Oubal vertrou dat lesers verstaan daai woord beteken “moffi e” in Afrikaans en dat hierdie koerant en sy ander rubriekskrywer, Vlieg, al
deurgeloop het oor dié woord.Vir die dokter wat destyds so beswaard
was, wil Oubal net uitwys dat dit niks vreemd is vir spelers om teenstanders op die rakbieveld moffi es te noem nie, maar dit word nie gebruik as ‘n verwysing na iemand se seksuele oriëntasie nie. Nee, dokter, dis ‘n poging om die ander persoon uit te maak as ‘n swakkeling en sy selfvertroue te knou sodat jy die sielkundige oorhand kan kry. Niks met homofobie te doen nie.
Ongelukkig was dit volgens wat Oubal verneem nie die geval met Potgieter nie, want toe hét dit glo na die oriëntasie van ‘n Brumbiespeler verwys. ‘n Mens sou dink dat selfs iemand van Uitenhage sal weet dat nie
alle rakbiespelers ooit heteroseksueel is of was nie, so dit behoort nie ‘n kwessie op die veld te wees nie.
En dit is hieroor dat Pocock beswaar by die skeidsregter aangeteken het en Potgieter uiteindelik swaar gestraf is deur die ARU — nogal met ‘n boete van AU$20 000. Dis ‘n aardige bedrag in rande volgens Oubal se berekening, wat dui op die erns van die saak.
So, is Pocock maar net ‘n klikbek, of steek daar meer in die man? Die waarheid is dat hy ‘n man van vaste beginsels is en nie skroom om dit uit te leef nie. Verlede jaar byvoorbeeld was Pocock so half in die moeilikheid toe hy in die openbaar protes aangeteken het teen die opening van ‘n steenkoolmyn in ‘n Nieu-Suid-Walliese staatswoud. Hy het homself aan ‘n swaar mynmasjien vasgeboei, om te verhoed dat daar voortgegaan word met die ontginning en so het sy paaie met die gereg gekruis, maar gelukkig is hy later onskuldig bevind.
‘Tja, en dit is hierdie man wat Martin nou beweer ongeskik is om kaptein van die
Wallabies te wees. Volgens hom gaan die Potgieter-geval Aussie-rakbie in twee skeur (nie dat dít Oubal pla nie!) en is iemand wat met sy opinies op ‘n seepkis klim, nie kapteinsmateriaal nie.
Oubal verstaan nie mooi nie. In onlangse tye is Aussie-rakbie besoedel deur gevalle van drankmisbruik, diefstal, aanranding en geslagsteistering, maar een van die min regverdiges in Sodom word ongeskik verklaar vir ‘n leiersrol.
Miskien verkies hulle iemand om hulle bandiet-geskiedenis gestand te doen!
