Niel van Deventer is amper 11 maande oud en bly in Lephalale saam met sy ouers, PG en Jeanette van Deventer. Die mannetjie, wie se mamma baie bekend is vir haar internationale modelwerk, het reeds 'n string kompetisies gewen met sy vrien-delike gesiggie. Hierdie kersvaderpakkie het aan Niel 'n tweede plek besorg in Jet Stores se baba-kompetisie wat op Facebook gehou is. Hy is ook by die Pace Models agentskap ingeskryf en het ook al verskeie ander foto-kompetisies deur die loop van die jaar gewen. Dit lyk of die Bosveld sommer nog baie van die oulike seuntjie te sien gaan kry!

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR MESSAGE BY LIMPOPO PREMIER

CHUPU STANLEY MATHABATHAThe Festive Season is upon us again. This age old tradition also marks the end of the year and the beginning of a new one.

As a provincial government, we wish all those who will be travelling to different destinations, and those who will be coming to Limpopo a safe jour-ney. All our roads have been upgraded to cope with traffic volumes, but safety still remains with individuals. Our po-lice and traffic officials will be out in force to ensure that all people are safe, either on the roads or wherever they will be.

I wish to welcome millions of Christian pilgrims to the Zion City of Moria and other Churches for a safe prayerful Christmas. Your prayers for the nation are most welcome.

Let us use this Christmas and New Year as a time of re-flection as a nation. We celebrate 20 years of democracy with much joy and hope. The New Year 2014 is a year of elections. Let us exercise our freedom and democracy responsibly.

Together we can still do more.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

BOODSKAP vAN POTGIETERSRUS DLU vOORSITTER, OCKERT SCHERMAN

Die jaar 2013 is so te sê ver-by. Aan almal wat gehelp het om Potgietersrus DLU die jaar ’n sukses te maak, ’n spesi-ale dankie. Ons het immers die RF Camphor beker vir Distrikslandbou unie van die jaar gewen.

’n Groot dankie aan Renita Prinsloo vir haar werk. Hiermee dan ook gelukwensing aan haar as sekretaresse van die jaar by TLU SA. Edward Leversage is aangewys as TLU SA se presi-dentsjongboer van die jaar en het ook ‘n derde plek behaal in die Manitou/Mutual en Federal se jongboer van die jaar. Baie geluk aan WD Malherbe van WDM boerdery wat die LWO arbeidstrofee ontvang het.

Baie dankie ook aan my vrou Marianne vir haar ondersteuning die jaar.

Mag die Kersgety vir u baie geseënd wees. Mag 2014 ’n voorspoedige jaar wees. Lees Fillipense 4:4-7 en beleef werklik die blydskap van Christus in u lewe.

KERSBOODSKAP vAN AGRI LEPHALALE vOORSITTER, FRANCIOS vAN DEN BERG Die jaar was ook 365 dae lank maar, as ek dit nie geweet het nie, sou ek kon dink dit was baie korter.

‘n Algemene verkiesing lê voor, en die woorde van ons agbare Min-ister van landbou se woorde by Agri SA Kongres naamlik: “moenie julle te veel steur wat politici voor die verkies-ing kwyt raak nie.”

Dit stel my nie gerus nie, en bly dit altyd moeilik om tussen politieke koring en kaf te onderskei – dit raak verseker alle boere se inkomste! Maar wat vir my uiters inspirerend is, is dat boere op alle vlakke hulle skaal wys, in ‘n hoogs mededing-ende omgewing.

Boere bly positief soos ek julle ken. Hou moed, dit is altyd te gou om tou op te gooi. Word deel van jou gemeenskap. Skakel in by die Landelike Veiligheidsforum. Deur dit te doen help ons nie net onsself nie maar ook ons bure.

‘n Baie Geseënde Kersfees vir u almal, en mag die jaar wat voorlê, gelukkig wees aan elkeen van u.

Vriendelike Kersgroete.

Met hierdie laaste koerant van 2013 is dit gepas dat ons terugkyk op die hoogte- en laagtepunte van die afgelope jaar. Ons by Noordelike Nuus neem nou vir ‘n week of twee ‘n ruskansie voor ons volgende koerant DV op 10 Januarie op straat verskyn. Ons dank ons lo-jale lesers en adverteerders vir ‘n fantastiese jaar van groei en vooruitgang vir ons en hope-lik ook vir julle. Geseënde Kersfees en voorspoed vir 2014. - Die Noordelike Nuus span

JANUARIEDie nuus van ‘n gru-ongeluk waarin ‘n 11-jarige dogter wees ge- Î

laat is het die gemeenskap van Lephalale tot aksie oorgehaal. Binne etlike ure het die mense hulle hart en beursies oopgemaak om te help met Eurika Burger se mediese onkostes.

Vir Mokopane het 2013 met ‘n optraande stryd begin. Sylva- Înia Platinum het sy mynlisiensie aansoeke so ingedien dat die die openbare deelname proses in Desember van 2012 deurgestoom-roller moes word. Die Nyl Aksiegroep moes vroeg in Januarie ‘n ver-teenwoordigerskomitee op die been bring om die uitdagings van die beoogde platinamyn in die Nyl vloedvlakte die hoof te bied. Dit lyk of hierdie Kersgety ‘n herhaling van verlede jaar gaan wees. Sylva-nia het sy vorige aansoek laat vaar en ‘n nuwe mynaansoek inge-dien - weer so dat die openbare deelname proses in Desember/Januarie deurgevoer moet word. Sylvania se omgewingskonsultant, E-Science Associates ontken dat dit moedswillig so georkestreer word. Die Nyl Aksiegroep stem nie saam nie.

Also in January more than 1000 Medupi workers marched from Section 7 in ÎOnverwacht to the Medupi site. The strikers were unhappy about the bonuses they received over Christmas. The strike turned violent and several vehicles were damaged.

FEBRUARIEIn Februarie het Prof Jonathan Jansen van die Universiteit van die Vrystaat by Hoërskool Î

Piet Potgieter besoek kom aflê. Prof Jansen was so beïndruk met die kwaliteit van studente wat Piet Potgieter oplewer dat hy die hoof, Jas Hansen, geskakel het om hom geluk te wens. Hansen het hom tydens dié oproep uitenooi om te kom kuier.

In Ferbruarie het die Departement van omgewingsake Sandmyners langs die Mogolrivier Îverwittig dat all mynbedrywighede langs die rivier gestaak moet word. Kommer bestaan dat die mynery skade aan die rivier berokken.

Mokopane mayor, Thlalefi Mashemaite, ends up in hospital after a car accident in the Îearly morning hours one Sunday Morning. At the time it wasn’t clear what caused the ac-cident. The municipality simply confrimed that friends of the mayor took him to Voortrek-ker hospital and that he was later transferred to Polokwane. He didn’t sustain any major injuries.

In February the Carte Blanche team visited Lephalale to cover the strike action at ÎMedupi. The team were in the midst of violent protest action where several vehicles were burnt in Marapong.

ÎMAARTDie Pippie se Gesiggie Fonds wat Î

geld insamel vir brandslagoffers en vir Pippie Kruger se behandeling is in-gespan om ‘n vyf-jarige dogtertjie van Northam, Celiwe Maseko te help nadat sy erg gebrand het. Ook haar vel is soos Pippie se vel in Amerika gekloon en op haar oorgeplant.

‘n Terugblik op

Vroeg in Maart tref die perdevleis- Îskandaal die wêreld en Mokopane se slagters maak dit duidelik dat daar geen perdevleis uit hulle slaghuise verkoop word nie.

APRILIn April is drie renosters by Zinyathi Î

lodge in die Steenbokpan-omgewing ge- skiet en is ‘n renoster kalfie wees gelaat.

Police thwart the plans of a gang of Îarmed robbers on their way to rob the Shell filling station in Mahwelereng. The five suspects from Seshego were caught by a specialist unit that has been on their trail for months.

The Vodocom Blue Bulls played Îagainst the Limpopo Bulls at the Mogol club in Lephalale. They won the match 110 – 0.

Die Mogalakwena munisipaliteit moet Îvinnig plan maak met ‘n tamaai dagga-plant wat op die dorp se stortingsterrein groei en baie mooi versorg en geoes word. Toe Noordelike Nuus daaroor navraag doen is die plant inderhaas verwyder.

MEI

Die Piet Potgieter Monument Tehuis Îhou sy eerste veteraan motorskou. Dit is van meet af ‘n wegholsukses met meer as 50 motoreienaars wat hul klassieke vuur-waens kom uitstal.

Melt van der Spuy

“Ek wens party keer ek het in die bybel se tyd geleef.” Dis slim Servaas wat so praat toe ek en hy nou die ander dag op die stoep sit en ’n koffietjie drink. “Ek meen”, gaan hy voort, “waar wil jy nou meer tyd vir uitkamp hê as juis in die tyd van die Israeliete?”

Ek kan sommer aanvoel Servaas wil nou weer die een of ander slim ding kwytraak. As hy eers sy lang bene voor hom uitstrek en agteroor in die stoel leun, kom daar soms snaakse woorde uit sy mond.

“Nou hoe bedoel jy van die Israeliete?” vra ek. Dis nie aldag wat Servaas bybel se goed praat nie en dis my kans om te sien hoe werk die kant van sy brein waar dit oor godsdiens gaan.

“Nee ek meen nou maar net, die eerste kampeerders ter aarde was seker maar die Israeliete. Dis nou as jy die oermense wat ook maar moes rondtrek buite reken-ing laat. Die Israeliete het vir 40 jaar in die woestyn rondgetrek en uitgekamp. Moes nogal lekker gewees het. Amper soos per-manent uitkamp.” Sy laaste opmerking is byna weemoedig. So asof hy daarna ver-lang om voltyds kampeerder te word.

Ek wou die een of ander slim opmerk-ing uitdink, toe kom Herman met sy rooi bakkie om die hoek. Hy klim nog uit, toe praat hy al: ”En vir wat sit julle oues van dae soos twee dikgevreete worshonne op die stoep? Dink julle nie dis tyd om die caravans te haak nie?”

Met Herman weet jy nooit waar jy staan nie en jy moet by wees om te verstaan wat hy sê. Hy praat sommer so tussen-in van verskeie goed tegelyk.

Om die kampvuur...

Die beloofde land“Servaas

sê die eerste kampeerd-ers was die Israeliete en hy dink dit kan nogal lekker wees om so voltyds te kamp,” sê ek. Ek weet Herman hou van uitkamp, maar ek dink nie hy sal dit vol-tyds wil doen nie. Hy kom sit op ’n stoel en frons so ‘n slag: ”Ja dit kan seker wees, maar dan moet jy ook onthou na al hulle ge-uitkampery was daar vir hulle iets groot om te kry. Die beloofde land.”

“Voel party keer vir my ek is klaar in die beloofde land elke keer as ek kamp,” sê Servaas.” Dis mos absolute saligheid om so lekker op jou eie kampplek te staan en trek die nag nog boonop om jou saam en die kamp raak stil, is dit net jy en jou Skepper so saam onder die sterre.”

Herman klop my op die skouer: “Nou praat hy met ’n mond vol tanne.”

“Ja,” praat Servaas verder, “en net soos die Israeliete die beloofde land gekry het, kry ons latere geslagte ook deur ons geloof in Jesus ook ’n beloofde land.”

Vir ’n paar oomblikke is ons stil. Dis asof elkeen se gedagtes besig is met dit wat meer as 2000 jaar gelede by Betlehem gebeur het. Dié dag toe die Verlosser gebore is en die engelekoor die blye boodskap aan die herders oorgedra het.

Ek glimlag so na die twee se kant toe. “Dis lekker om pelle soos julle te hê. ’n Blink Kersfees en ’n groot 2014 vir julle twee.”

Eight people were arrested when Îthey vandalised shops belonging to foreign nationals in Marapong.

Also in May, three high school Îpupils were arrested and appeared in the Lephalale Magistrate's court on charges of being in possession of drugs.

Mokopane Squash Club’s Robert Abra- Îhamse puts together an unforgettable squash tournament for Limpopo. The Walk with the Lions tournament sees the coun-try’s top squash players flock to Limpopop to play in towns like Mokopane, Polokwane and Lephalale.

JUNIEIn Junie is ‘n renosterstroper in ‘n Î

skermutseling met die polisie se veediefstaleenheid doodgeskiet in die Cuberland omgewing.

Ismails Hardware opened the doors of its new su- Îperstore in Mokopane offering a one-stop building material and home improvement store.

Mokopane Sakekamer vier sy negentigste bestaans-- Îjaar met ‘n spogdinee by die Oasis Lodge. Penny Heyns tree op as gasspreker en die Koch broers, Riaan en Mornay van Gensol word gekroon as Entrepreneurs van die Jaar. JULIE

In Julie besoek verskeie glans persoonlikhede ÎLephalale vir die jaarlikse Bosveldfees. Noordelike Nuus gesels met sanger Bok van Blerk en vind dat hy heel tuis in die Bosveld is.

Anél de Vos van Mokopane kwalifiseer vir die Îderde keer vir die Wêreld biathle kampioenskappe nadat sy ‘n derde plek by die Suid-Afrikaanse kam-pioenskappe behaal het.

The Mokopane Business Chamber’s Andy Go- Îetsch and Corinus du Toit meet with Mogalakwena mayor, Thlalefi Mashemaite, to voice their concern

They recommend that the R10 000 the municipality spends to build each speed bump rather be used to repair potholes in the town’s tarred roads.

Marken Laerskool se geliefde hoof, ÎRamond Bronkhorst, sterf kort nadat hy in die hospitaal opgeneem is met long ontsteking.

Nuus dat varkgriep in Lephalale ge- Îdiagnoseer is en dat een person moontlik weens die siekte dood is het die gemeen-skap op hol.

AUGUSTUSIn Augustus word ‘n Nyalabul van Koe- Î

does Rhue in Marken teen ‘n wêreldrekord prys van R1,65-miljoen verkoop by die Oljaco vangkrale in Vaalwater. Daar is egter later bevestig dat die bul ‘n basterbok is en die transaksie is op ys geplaas.

Die boek Î Pippie, geskryf deur Col-leen Naude en Anice Kruger word bekend gestel en verskyn heel eerste op winkelrak-ke in Lephalale.

Mokopane se Tersia Smit wen goud en Îbreek ‘n wêreldrekord toe sy in Durban aan die Wêreld orgaanoorplantingspele deel-neem. Tersia het die rekord verbeter in die 50m rugslag en ook tweede plekke behaal in die 100m borsslag en 50m bors- en vryslag.

Dit kom aan die lig dat landbougrond wat Îin die Mogalakwena munisipale gebied val sedert 2008 met minstens 75% oorbelas word. Tot op hede is daar geen duidelikheid oor hoe die tameletjie opgelos gaan word.

SEPTEMBERIn September the news that Umbono Î

Captial hold mining rights to 2000 ha of land which borders Onverwacht has resi-dents worried about the prospect of having a coal mine on their “stoep”.

In September Ivanhoe Mines (for- Îmerly Ivanplats) announces that it is proceeding with the sinking of a bulk sample shaft to access the under-ground flatreef minerals near Moko-pane.

Business owners and developers Îmet at the Palm Park Hotel to discuss the fact that no new developments will be linked to the electricity grid until the end of 2015. It was later announced that power will be available at the end of 2014.

OKTOBERIn Oktober woed ‘n verwoestende brand vir meer as ‘n week in die Î

Lephalale omgewing. Met min hulp van die munisipaliteit slaag boere daarin om die brand onder beheer te kry.

Die eerste Debtsafe Cansa MTB fietswedren word aangebied in die Îplek van die jaarlikse Loop van Hoop. Die wedren in die Mokopane Wild-teelsentrum is ‘n reuse sukses met fietsryers van regoor die land wat kom deelneem.

Frans en Sandy Troskie oorleef ‘n plaasaanval op hulle plaas net buite ÎLephalale waar ses verdagtes die huis binnestorm en hulle met messe aanval. Die ses verdagtes is later die week in hegtenis geneem.

Anél de Vos neem deel aan die ÎWêreld biathle kampioenskappe in Ciprus waar sy ‘n 11de plek behaal. Anél, wat teen heirdie tyd Sprinkbokkleure verwerf het, sê sy hoop om volgende jaar onder die wêreld se top tien te eindig.

Mogalakwena municipal Îmanager, William Kekana returns to work after he has been illegally suspended three months earlier. Kekana’s return follows a council meeting where the majority of councillors voted to have him reinstated despite pressure from the mayor to keep him ‘suspended’. The week is marred by bogus arrests and intimidation, but Kekana holds his ground despite his office being burgled and all his computers being removed. A charge of breaking and entering is laid against the mayor.

NOVEMBERIn November thousands of Rands were stolen at ATMs in Lephalale Î

by ATM scammers. The public is warned to be vigilant at all times. Die Limpopo Veediefstal Forum word by die kantore van Vleissentraal Î

in Mokopane in die lewe geroep. By hierdie stigtingsvergadering stem boere ooreen dat wildsboere ook by hierdie forum ingelyf moet word. Al word hulle nie as wildsboere beskou nie, loop wildsboere ook erg onder diefstal van hul diere deur.

In November Mokopane’s well-known ‘Tyre Man’, John Rapetswa Îwas killed in an incedent of road rage in Mahwelereng.

A march for better service delivery at the Lephalale municipal- Îity turns violent as supporters of Lephalale Mayor, Jack Maeko attack march organisers with pangas and sticks.

miljoene rande bereken en boere moet vir ‘n geruime tyd sonder elektrisiteit oor die weg kom.

DESEMBERTwenty four shacks were burnt Î

to the ground in Marapong when a burning candle was left unattended. Most of the owners have already left and will return from their Christmas holidays to find that their belongings have been destroyed.

Oupas en Oumas kuier saam met hul Îkinders en kleinkinders by die Piet Potgieter Monument tehuis se jaarafsluiting. Regs is Mia, Reinhardt en Abby Moolman saam met Kersvader tydens hierdie saamkuier.

A gruesome find was made early ÎDecember when worker at the sewerage plant in Lephalale discovered the body of a 24-week old foetus. The body was without the head possibly because of an abortion procedure. The

Lephalale police vowed that they would find and prosecute the mother of the baby.
