Die munisipale stortingsterrein buite Makhado (Louis Trichardt) is nie meer ‘n ramp wat wag om te gebeur nie; dit is ‘n ramp en die “wit bevolking” moet asseblief ‘n plan maak.

Vir die soveelste keer hierdie jaar het die stor-tingsterrein verlede week uit sy nate gebars. Soveel so dat die toegangshekke Woensdag gesluit is, en radelose inwoners hulle vragte vullis voor die hek afgelaai het. Teen die middag was daar net berge vullis so ver as mens kon sien. Die toegangspad was verberg agter die hope vullis, en langs die Vondelingpad (wat toegang verleen tot die terrein) was daar eweneens hope vullis gestort.

Stortingsterreinbewoners het uit die vullis ‘n plakkaat gepraktiseer om hulle lot by die dorp se blanke inwoners te bepleit. “Pliz Whites Make A Plan Pliz [sic]” het die plakkaat gelees wat staan gemaak is langs sakke vullis. Van hierdie bewo-ners was Woensdag, tydens die Zoutpansberger se besoek aan die terrein, besig om tussen die vlieë en rommel rond te krap vir iets om te red. “Help ons asseblief … kyk hoe lyk dit hier,” het hulle aan die koerant se joernaliste gesê. Volgens die inwoners is die munisipaliteit se tru-grawers al vir drie weke lank buite werking. “Dit is hoekom hulle [munisipaliteit] die rubbish aan die brand steek elke keer,” het een man gesê, wat nie sy naam wou gee nie. Daar was ook glo gerugte dat munisipale werkers opdrag gegee is om die hekke van die terrein te sluit en inwoners toe te laat om vullis langs die pad af te gooi.

Inwoners van die Vondelingplotte, naby die ter-rein, het ook gesê die situasie by die stortingsterrein raak onuithoudbaar. Een so ‘n inwoner, mnr. Jan Malan, het Donderdag vertel dat die Vondeling-pad Woensdagmiddag 17:00 begrawe was onder die vullis. Motoriste kon glo glad nie verbykom

From 23 October, shoppers can expect a whole new ex­perience at the Game store in Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

Game shoppers will not only have a beautiful, newly revamped store but can now expect Game’s fresh food offe-ring, making the store a true shopping destination.

The local Game fi rst opened its doors eight years ago and has since become a favourite in the area, selling everything from kettles and stoves to toys and gym equipment and now

fresh food – everything that your heart could desire, under one convenient roof.

Now with wider aisles, bright ly coloured with pink, yellow and green, the newly revamped store is bound to catch your eye and make your shopping experience that much more enjoyable.

“Game has a long-lasting commitment to customer satis-faction. This is refl ected in our slogan: ‘Game – you always win.’ This is applied through a rock-solid trio of far-reaching

The price guarantee reaf-firms that Game will beat the price of any dealer who has stock of any item sold in Game stores. The satisfaction guarantee promises to refund the purchase price of goods – or exchange any goods at any time - if returned in the original condition and packaging.

Phillipson invites customers to visit the store on opening day for opening-day specials.

Now with wider aisles, brightly coloured with pink, yellow and green, the newly revamped Game store in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) is bound to catch customers’ eye. Photo supplied.

The fragile water supply situation in the region is balanced on a knife’s edge.

The current water crisis, caused by an illegal strike by Vhembe District Mu-nicipality (VDM) workers, affected the whole of the Vhembe district. Though the workers from the water department had resumed work on Tuesday, it is ru-moured that there would be yet another mass meeting to discuss issues.

Water supply to the villages of Von-do, Nandoni, Xikundu, Nzhelele and Mutale, among others, was hardest hit. Water tankers were reported to queue at the Nandonidam. At the University of Venda, students, lecturers and staff all suffered and the university had to bring in portable toilets. Drinking water had to be purchased for the residences, the cafeteria and the staff. “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the latest water crisis,” wrote Dr Jannie Zaaiman, Univen’s deputy vice-chancellor (opera-tions), in an email dated 14 October. He added that VDM’s municipal manager, Mr Masala Makumule, had informed him that morning that they had started pumping water into the reservoir.

Some residents of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) reported water supply inter-ruptions over the last two weeks. An aged resident, Ms Elma van Niekerk, said that her sister from Australia was visiting South Africa and she had to tell her sister that she could not come and visit because she could not expect her visitors to carry water to the toilets and not take a bath.

But why the strike?The Department of Water Affairs

(DWA) transferred more than 1000 work-ers to the VDM in 2009. They demand salary parity between DWA-transferred staff and workers in the municipality. “It is important to note that the department has facilitated the transfer of the workers by giving adequate support to the munici-pality and subsidizing the entire operation for a period of three years, following the transfer. The subsidies included salaries, operation and maintenance of the water schemes and refurbishment,” states the DWA in an unsigned media release dated 15 October. The DWA further states that, in their opinion, the support they gave and continue to give to the municipality was suffi cient to facilitate the settlement of all outstanding staff-related matters, including the issue of salary parity.

The VDM’s spokesperson, Mr Matodzi Ralushai, said that the strike started on 1 October and that the VDM management, DWA and Nehawu’s representatives were engaging in dialogue.

“They met formally on Monday and most of them have returned to work to-day. We hope the situation will return to normal,” Ralushai said on Tuesday and added that the strike was not violent, but “very effective”. That is due to the fact that they had turned the water off in most areas, an action condemned by the DWA, who wished “to make it clear that the de-liberate shut-off of water to communities by protesting workers is unacceptable and

will not be tolerated.” The DWA did not expand on the action

they would take if workers continued to shut down water deliberately.

Meanwhile, Minister Edna Molewa will establish a high-level task team to fi nd a speedy resolution to the matter. “The workers returned to vital areas like the pump station at the Albasini Dam. The water shortage in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) was not so much due to the strike as to the new pump at the Albasini plant that broke on 3 October and had to be fi xed. The two small standby pumps were straining to deliver enough water. On top of the strike, only three out of the 14 old boreholes (west of town) are working and the four new ones are idle at the moment,” said AfriForum chairperson Mr Wally Schultz.

“Well, one week it is the pump, the next week a strike and who knows what the excuse will be next week,” said Mr Gert van der Westhuizen, owner of Madi Gra Water in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). Although he sells drinking water in his shop, Van der Westhuizen ironically has to deliver water for other purposes to his business premises about every single day.

“I am used to the fact that I do not have municipal water and I have bought a bak-kie with a tank on it and have organized to have water delivered to my premises daily. At fi rst I phoned often to fi nd out why there is no water, but that only serves to shorten my life. Now I accept that water supply cannot take place,” he said.

Illegal strike is the reason for current water shortages

‘n Een­en­dertigjarige man van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) wat glo ‘n verbintenis het met ‘n bende wat kluise en OTM’s opblaas, het verlede week in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof verskyn.

Die man, wat nie gepleit het op die klagte teen hom nie, kan nog nie geïdentifi seer word nie. Hy het saam met drie ander mans verskyn op een klag van die besit van ‘n onwettige vuurwapen en ‘n klag vir die besit

van onwettige ammunisie. Die mans het verlede Donderdag vlugtig in die hof verskyn, en is elkeen op R1 000 borg vrygelaat.

Die 31-jarige man en sy mede-be-skuldigdes kan verdere klagte in die gesig staar as hulle deur middel van ‘n polisie ondersoek met inbrake verbind word waar ‘n kluis of kitsbank oop-geskiet is.

Hulle sal weer op 8 November in die hof moet verskyn.

While the water supply of the whole region was interrupted by a strike on the part of water scheme workers, the new pump at the Albasinidam also needed reparation on 3 October.

Deur Isabel VenterTJ Venter van Graad 0 gebruik sy kettie en bekruip met oorgawe tydens Laerskool Louis Trichardt se operette Ek het gedroom. Hy is afgeneem tydens die vertoning vir die senior burgers op 10 Oktober.

‘n Polisiekonstabel wat erken het dat haar nala­tigheid die dood veroorsaak het van ‘n man in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) is nooit geskors nie en nog in besit van haar dienspistool.

Die 32-jarige konst. Ndivhuwo Caroline Mushiane van die Makhado SAPS is aanvanklik van die moord op mnr. Justice Mulaudzi (33) aangekla. Die klag is teen haar gebring nadat sy Mulaudzi noodlottig gewond het tydens ‘n voorval by die treinkruising in Groblerstraat in Augustus verlede jaar. Mulaudzi is in die kop geskiet deur Mushiane, nadat hy in ‘n struweling betrokke geraak het met Mushiane en ‘n kollega.

Mushiane het verlede Woensdag in die Louis Trichardt Streekshof verskyn op dié moor-dklag. Nadat die Staat sy eerste getuie gebring het, het sy egter terug gekom en aangedui dat sy skuldig wil pleit in terme van ‘n skuldoor-eenkoms wat sy met die Staat aangaan het.

Die eerste getuie was die vriend van Mu-laudzi, Tirhani Ignitcus Nemudzivhadi, wat gesien het wat die noodlottige dag gebeur het. Nemudzivhadi het getuig dat hy en Mulaudzi in Groblerstraat afgestap het, nadat hulle eers bier gedrink het by ‘n plaaslike sjebeen. “Ons was onder die invloed, maar kon nog onder-skei tussen reg en verkeerd,” het Nemudzivhadi getuig. Nadat Mushiane en haar kollega hulle in Groblerstraat voorgekeer het, het Mulaudzi, volgens Nemudzivhadi, gesê hy sal alleen met hulle praat en dat Nemudzivhadi maar solank moet aanstap.

“Toe ek terugkyk was die polisievrou, wat aan die passasierskant uitgeklim het, besig om hom [Mulaudzi], aan die arm te trek sodat hy in die vangwa moet klim,” het Nemudzivhadi gesê. Die

konstabel wat aan die bestuurderskant gesit het van die vangwa, Mushiane, het uitgespring om die kol-lega te help. Nemudzivhadi het getuig dat hy gesien het hoe Mushiane vir Mulaudzi aan sy ander arm gegryp en ook in die vangwa probeer prop het. “Sy het toe haar vuurwapen uitgehaal en vir Mulaudzi drie keer oor die kop daarmee geslaan. Die vierde keer het daar ‘n skoot afgegaan, en Mulaudzi het op die grond geval. Sy [Mushiane] het geskreeu ‘Wat het ek nou gedoen?’”

Nadat Mushiane skuldig gepleit het, het sy by monde van haar prokureur, mnr. Ramono, gesê sy is jammer oor dit wat sy gedoen het.

Dit was egter, nadat die Staat aangevra het dat Mushiane onbev-oeg verklaar word om ‘n vuurwapen te be-sit, dat haar prokureur protes aangeteken het. Mushiane is nog in diens van die polisie. “Om haar vuurwapen van haar af weg te vat sal wees soos om haar suurstof weg te vat, want dan sal sy nie haar werk kan doen nie,” het die prokureur gesê.

Hierdie onthulling het ernstige vrae laat ont-staan oor Mushiane se bevoegdheid as ‘n aktiewe lid van die polisiemag. Die polisie se provinsiale kommunikasiekantoor is Maandag genader met vrae oor Mushiane en om uit te vind of sy afgedank is na die hof se bevel. Dié vrae is Dinsdag weer opgevolg, maar teen druktyd het die provinsiale woordvoerders net ontvangs erken van die koerant se e-pos. Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi het by monde van kapt. Maano Sadike gesê dat hy aandag aan die koerant se vrae sal gee sodra hy teruggekeer het van Malamulele af. Mulaudzi was Woensdag daar, nadat daar hierdie week weereens onrus oor swak dienslewering uitgebreek het.

Polisievrou erken sy het man se dood veroorsaak

‘n Paar inwoners van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het verlede Donderdag op die dorp se rugbyvelde bymekaar gekom as deel van Rooi Oktobermaand. Rooi Oktobermaand is ‘n nasionale en internasionale veldtog wat daarop gemik is om uiting te gee aan blanke mense se misnoë met plaasmoorde, misdaad en korrupsie. Presies om 13:30 het die betogers die rooi ballone losgelaat.

“Sy het toe haar vuurwap-en uitgehaal en vir Mulaudzi drie keer oor die kop daarmee geslaan. Die vierde keer het daar ‘n skoot afgegaan, en

Mulaudzi het op die grond geval”

Ná bykans 21 jaar groet skoolhoofNa 20 jaar en nege maande verlaat mnr. Henry Denner Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, waar hy beide as adjunkhoof en hoof vir etlike jare opgetree het.

“Ek neem afskeid van ‘n ge-meenskap wat net goed vir my en my gesin was,” sê Denner. Hy en sy vrou, Adri, het ‘n vervroegde aftrede aangevra en verhuis na Gordonsbaai.

Denner se verbintenis met Hoër-skool Louis Trichardt begin op 1 Januarie 1993 met sy aanstelling as adjunkhoof. Die Denner-gesin het vanaf Hartbeespoort verhuis en hul intrek in die meisieskoshuis geneem, en Denner dien as senior huisvader

daar van 1994 tot 2007. Intussen slaag hy die graad BEd (Onderwysbestuur) met lof. Na wyle mnr. Pikkie Truter se aftrede as hoof aan die einde van 1996, neem Denner vir vier maande waar en word op 1 Mei 1998 as hoof aangestel.

Denner se groot omgee vir die kinders straal uit sy woorde. “Vir ‘n hoof kan daar geen groter vreugde wees as dat sy skool se kinders die kanse wat die lewe hul bied, aangryp en sukses behaal nie. Dit geld vir die swak outjie wat met harde werk slaag, vir die topkandidate wat die onder-skeidings inoes, maar veel meer vir die naamlys van gelukwensings wat

die universiteite van tyd tot tyd stuur van oudleerlinge wat kwalifikasies voltooi, tot elkeen wat ek oor die jare die voorreg gehad het om oor die wêreld raak te loop en te hoor dat Hoërskool Louis Trichardt hulle ‘n goeie wegspring gegee het om die korporatiewe leer in die lewe te kon klim,” sê Denner.

Denner het in vele fasette diep spore in die onderwys getrap. Hy het op verskeie departementele ta-akspanne in die distrik, provinsie en land gedien. Vir baie jare was hy op die SAOU-vakbond se provinsiale bestuur waar hy hoofsaaklik die portefeuljes kurrikulum en eksamen, maar ook koshuise, hanteer het.

Denner en Geografie is amper sinonieme. Hy gee verskeie jare vir die matrieks klas en was vir 16 jaar hoofeksaminator of -nasiener van Geografie in Limpopo. Hy het ook provinsiale en nasionale vraestelle opgestel, in verskeie provinsiale en nasionale komitees in die vak gedien en was betrokke by die opstel van die nasionale assesseringsriglyne vir Graad 12, handboekkeuring vir die nuwe sillabusse wat ingestel is en die skryf van werksprogramme vir al die grade.

Op die sportveld was Denner ‘n bekende gesig.

“Die afrigting van kinders op die sportveld en die leer van die ‘ander sy’ van baie kinders in die minder formele opset, is ‘n passie wat ek waarskynlik die meeste sal mis in die onderwys,” sê Denner.

Denner bedank graag die personeel, beheerliggaam en ouers. “Gedurende die jare het puik personeellede die skool se stoepe bewandel, mense wat die titel ‘groot geeste’ met reg verdien het; so ook die huidige personeel wat ek in 2013 in die personeelka-mer agterlaat. Dit was altyd maklik om mense te motiveer omdat hulle passievol oor die onderwys is en glo in wat hulle doen,” sê Denner en voeg by dat hy die voorreg gehad het om met puik mense uit die gemeenskap as beheerliggaamvoorsitters saam te werk. Aan die ouers van die ge-meenskap sê Denner:

“Dankie aan elkeen wat oor die jare verstaan het dat wat by die skool gedoen word net een doel voor oë het: om die beste vir u kind te doen en die beste uit hom of haar te haal. Dankie vir elke ondersteunende woord, elke mooi gebaar en elke keer wat u daar vir u seun of dogter was.”

Mnr. Henry Denner.

Coal of Africa Limited (CoAL) is halting mining activities at their Vele colliery, north of the Sout­pansberg.

This is to enable CoAL to prepare for their pre-approved R220 million expansion project at the mine, the company announced on Tuesday.

“A collaborative and inclusive en-gagement process with the contractor companies operating at the mine has been concluded, with 49 people re-tained,” it said in a statement.

Another 138 employees, said CoAL, had been redeployed to other operations owned by them, while 155 employees were retrenched.

CoAL had already announced the approval of the new budget during August. The Vele colliery, which is close to the Mapungubwe World Heritage Site, was severely affected

by the January floods this year. The new credit will, however, enable Vele to produce a sufficient future cash flow to support the company’s overheads. “The approval follows the re-evaluation and confirmation of the quality of coal at Vele and the conclusion of a review of the current operations,” said CoAL.

“As part of that process and in order for the colliery to reduce the current cash losses incurred, the colliery will cease production during October 2013 in order to prepare for the construction phase of the announced expansion,” explained CoAL.

Fundraising for the planned expan-sion is expected to be completed by the end of March next year, which means that Vele would be fully op-erational again by the end of 2015.

Operations halted at Vele

More investigation still needs to be done in Makhado (Louis Trichardt)’s widely contro­versial “Hand” case.

The 36-year-old Rumbidzai Manyere’s remains have still not been released to her family since her brutal murder in April this year. This is because the National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA) director of public prosecutions has ordered the police to go back to Zimbabwe for further investigations. Manyere hails from Zimbabwe and had, according to her family, only been living in South Africa for three months at the time of her death.

The 38-year-old Freddy Tshikhudo, who has been accused of her murder, was arrested on 5 April at Elti Café in Eltivillas, when he allegedly tried to rob the business by using a severed human arm. The following day, he led police to the place where the murdered Manyere’s body was found. Her right arm, both eyes and her private parts had been removed.

During his previous court appearance in August, several pending cases against Tshikhudo were centralized to the Makhado Magistrate’s Court. This means that he will eventually stand trial on two counts of rape and single counts of murder, housebreaking and robbery. Tshikhudo appeared in court again last Friday. His case was postponed until 17 January of next year to afford the police time to finish the list of new instructions that the NPA gave them. Tshikhudo remains in custody.

Die Guardian Angels omgeegroep van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt loods ‘n veldtog teen dwelms op ‘n vars, kreatiewe manier.

“Ons het fisies na die plekke op die skoolter-rein gegaan wat gewilde bymekaarkomplekke vir dwelmgebruikers is en daar foto’s van die Guardian Angels geneem en in plakkate verwerk wat gedupliseer en oral by die skool opgesit gaan word,” sê pastoor Jan Venter, ‘n jeugpastoor wat aan die hoof van die omgeegroep van 18 lede staan.

Op een van die plakkate staan “We are too smart to start”. Dit is afgeneem by die boom op die bult op die terrein tussen die skoolgebou en die koshui-se. “Ons neem ‘n standpunt in teen dwelms in die gemeenskap en die skool. Ons wil ‘n positiewe drukgroepkultuur skep. Die dwelmmisbruikers is in die minderheid. Om aanvaar te word, is ‘n kernbe-hoefte by jongmense. Met die plakkate wil ons die kinders daarop wys dat dit cool is om nie dwelms uit te probeer nie. Die gevolg van eksperimente-ring is verslawing,” sê past. Venter, wat meen dat ‘n toename in dwelmmisbruik verskillende aksies genoodsaak het. ‘n Dagga joint is beskikbaar teen R30 en die kinders is meestal onbewus daarvan dat dit gemeng is met TIK en Meth, wat hoogs verslawend is.

Die waarnemende hoof, mnr. Theo Muller, het ook reeds verhoogde polisiebetrokkenheid aange-kondig. Die polisie het al ‘n praatjie gehou en sal hierdie kwartaal blitsbesoeke aan die skool bring om na dwelmmiddels te soek.

Die ander plakkate van die Guardian Angels is afgeneem by die seunsbadkamer, die vullisdrom by die seunskoshuis en tussen die twee pawiljoene naby die seunskoshuis.

Die Guardian Angels bestaan al van 2007 af en die doel van die omgeegroep is die welsyn van elke leerling in Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, asook om na die gemeenskap uit te reik. Die koördineerder van die skool se kant is me. Jenny de Klerk.

Gebed word beskou as ‘n suksesvolle wapen

teen die dwelmprobleem. Prayer in the Square is nog ‘n nuwe inisiatief, waar daar gebid word teen dwelms in die skool en gemeenskap.

Na verneem word wil een kind, wat onder die ander as druglord bekendgestaan het, nie meer dwelms versprei nie.

Die Guardian Angels omgeegroep van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt loods ‘n veldtog teen dwelms op ‘n vars, kreatiewe manier. Hier is ‘n plakkaat, “We are too smart too start”, afgeneem by die boom op die bult op die terrein, ‘n gewilde by­mekaarkomplek van dwelmmisbruikers. Van links na regs is Guardian Angels Dumisani Sambo, Faith Makubele, Phillipine Mpai, Tendani Munzhedzi en Nduvheni Mafune. Foto verskaf.

Vars, kreatiewe veldtog teen dwelms by skool

Verlede Vrydag het die omgeegroepie van die Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, die Guardian Angels, ‘n leidende voorbeeld gestel toe hulle ‘n gesamentlike uitreik gehou het onderleiding van me. Jenny de Klerk (voor, tweede van links) en past. Jan Venter (afwesig tydens neem van foto). Die Angels het besoek gebring aan inwoners van Laat Lente en Herfsakker. “Dit is vir ons belangrik

Sommige aande vertolk Bernice Meiring die rol van Nanny Mc Phee, Heinrich Viljoen is dan James Bond en Ronewa Kudzingana is The Incredible Hulk.

Graad 4’s het geen moeite met hul kostuums ontsien nie en ‘n skouspelagtige bydrae tot die operette gemaak.

Shaun Beeten (links) en Melinda van der Westhuizen is die Griekse koning en koningin wat die eerste Olimpiese Spele open tydens die Graad 2’s se oulike uitbeelding van dié tydperk. Die geleentheid was Laerskool Louis Trichardt se operette Ek het gedroom.

How to stay financially comfortable at Retirement

many articles have been written about being financially prepared for retirement but very few articles talk about what you need to do to stay financially comfortable.

It is more difficult to deal with financial challenges when you are retired than when you are young. So take these steps now to stay financially secure and look out for the following risks:

Inflation risk is a reality and happens when your pension doesn’t keep up with inflation, e.g. in 2005 R20 could buy you three bags of rice, but now it’ll only buy you one bag.

this leads us to the longevity risk – living long and possibly running out of income. the savings we have when we retire may not be enough to support us in our golden years, especially with medical technology that lets us live longer.

another risk that gets overlooked is consumption risk – consuming more than what your financial plan can support. Schedule an annual review of your investments and stay in touch with your financial affairs.

then there’s investment risk – the risk of making the wrong investment decisions. there isn’t much time to fix any wrong investment choices after you’ve retired so get a qualified financial adviser to help you.

Your financial partner before and at retirementWe can help with one of the biggest financial decisions that will impact the rest of your life. Contact the thohoyandou branch on (015) 962 1701/1631/5982 or visit us at the metropolitan Centre, Shop No. 3, thohoyandou. You can also contact the makhado branch (087) 742 3143.

In Memoriam

Deur Linda van der Westhuizen

14 18 October 2013 ZOUTPANSBERGER

The Soutpansberg said a final farewell on Mon­day to one of its pioneering figures, Mr Otto Beck, who passed away at the age of 103. The following tribute was sent in by his son Phil:

Otto was born on 9 June 1910 in Standerton (now Mpumalanga) to Anna Geertruida Beck (née Schwarzendahl) and Franz Paul Beck. Both parents arrived in South Africa in the 1890’s, the father from Friederichshaven in Germany and the mother from Den Helder in Holland.

Franz Paul led a most interesting and varied life. One of his tasks during the Anglo-Boer War was to act as telegraphist attached to General Louis Botha’s commandos when they were active in the Eastern Transvaal. He was present at the final Battle of Bergendal (27 August 1900), which was the last set-piece battle of the War.

Otto had two brothers, Paul Franz and Huibert Carl. Both brothers predeceased Otto by a number of years.

In 1914, the government started rounding up aliens and, fearing for his family, Franz Paul relo-cated to the Natal midlands town of Wartburg. As a result of the (official) anti-German mood of the country, Otto and his brothers grew up speaking only Dutch or English (with a little Zulu thrown in). Consequently, he lost most of his German heritage.

After the family had lived in Weenen, Mooi River and again in Standerton, Otto matriculated. He then worked for B Owen Jones Pharmacy as an apprentice. In 1932, the family relocated again to Malvern in Johannesburg. Otto qualified as a pharmacist in 1935 and worked in Boksburg and Benoni for B Owen Jones. In 1936, Otto worked at Banks Pharmacy in Germiston, followed by a stint at Findlay’s Pharmacy in Mellville.

One weekend he acted as best man to a friend who was to be married at his parent’s farm outside Standerton. Afterwards, on the train journey back to Johannesburg, he met a young lady, Doris Daphne

Dawson. They fell in love and were married on 5 February 1938.

Otto then purchased a pharmacy in Alberton. In February 1939, the firstborn, Otto Norman, arrived. This was followed in August 1943 by a daughter, Doris Valmai. Unfortunately she only lived a few days. Grief-stricken, Otto and Doris turned to the church for solace. Otto became immersed in church activities from the beginning and this changed his life completely. He became a local preacher in the Methodist Church.

In 1948, he purchased Kuters Pharmacy in Louis Trichardt and renamed it Beck’s Pharmacy. It was in Louis Trichardt that his talents, both in the pharmacy field and within the Methodist Church, really began to flower. He not only carried on his local preaching activities, but also became Sunday school superintendent and twice chairman of the local preachers synod. He preached in Messina, Pietersburg and Potgietersrus.

He became very well-known and he was elected a town councillor in the 1950s, but resigned when local politics started to become very party-political and unpleasant.

The second son, Phillip Herman, made an ap-pearance in March 1946, followed by Peter Julian in July 1951 and Timothy John in July 1956.

In the 1950s, Otto studied for and qualified as an optician. He was able to successfully combine both professions of pharmacist and optician for a number of years. However, in the early 1970s it was decreed that those persons (mainly pharmacists) who held the FSO qualification had to sit and pass the new FOA qualification if they wished to continue to practice. Otto studied in his spare time and passed the examination with good results.

This, of course, happened after he and Doris had left Louis Trichardt in 1970 and had moved to Kenton-on-Sea in the Eastern Cape. Otto and Doris really enjoyed their stay in their new home and Otto became well known to the community in a very short space of time. He also continued with his local preaching activities and held services in Kenton, Seven Fountains, Port Alfred, Graham-stown and even Port Elizabeth.

In the early 1980s, Otto and Doris decided to re-locate to Johannesburg and be closer to the sons and their families, who were all living in the area. Otto played a major part in building the new homestead in Chartwell (north of Johannesburg) and he and Doris enjoyed the few years that they spent therein.

In 1987, Otto was offered a chance to return to Louis Trichardt and open an optical practice. Thanks to the generosity of Emmie and Ninian Bannatyne and of Jannie Naude in Messina, Otto was able to see his business prosper.

In 1988, Doris and Otto celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary. Life continued normally until Doris became ill in 1992. After an operation, well-advanced cancer was diagnosed. After much pain and discomfort, Doris passed away at a Pre-toria hospice in December of that year.

Otto was invited to stay with his youngest son, Timothy, and his family, in a separate comfortable flatlet. Here he lived until 2001 and was very busy, in the company of a number of ladies belonging to the Bryanston Methodist Church, going around the hospitals and comforting the sick, many of whom were considerably younger than him!

In 2001, he became unable to fend for himself properly and was admitted to the frail-care section of a Methodist Church retirement home, Summer-field Park. Here he spent the remainder of his days, until his final short battle with pneumonia claimed his life a few minutes after midnight on 14 October.

An absolutely amazing number of tributes from all over the world have come pouring in for Otto from people whose lives he had touched and en-riched over the years. Few of us can ever hope to emulate Otto for his kindness, knowledge, love, humour and compassion.

Otto loved to tell a story about John Quincy Adams, an American President in the 19th century. In his declining years he was asked how he was. He replied: “John Quincy Adams is well, thank you. But the house that John Quincy Adams lives in is falling to pieces; the doors are falling in and the windows are sagging and soon John Quincy Adams will have to move out of the house. But John Quincy Adams is well, very well, thank you!”

Met die afsterwe van die 90­ja­rige oom Jannie Crafford ver­loor die streek ‘n pionier en entrepreneur. Tot aan die einde kon oom Jannie nog entoesias­ties gesels oor sport en politiek en alle sake van die dag.

Jan Ernst Crafford is op 28 Mei 1923 naby Ladismith gebore. Die depressie het die gesin swaar getref en in 1928 verhuis hulle per trein na die Soutpansberg. In 1940 koop oom Jannie se pa (ook Jan Ernst Crafford) ‘n gedeelte van die plaas Welgevonden, waar die regering in die twintigerjare ‘n besproeiingskema vir klein-boere gevestig het. Hier vestig die Craffords ‘n susksevolle boerdery met hulle kenmerkende werkywer .

Oom Jannie begin in 1942 as klerk in die mynkantoor op Messina en sluit na twee jaar by die staatsdiens aan. Hy werk vir verskeie jare as belastinggaarder in Venda. Sy kenmerkende en-trepreneurstalente kom tydens die oorlogsjare na vore en hy begin met skaars goedere smous, sodat hy teen 1947 sy eerste kar kon koop.

In 1949 trou Jannie met Marie Fourie en die egpaar vestig hulle op Sibasa en later op Zebediela en Nylstroom. Na sy pa se afs-terwe in 1960 koop hy die plaas op Welgevonden uit die boedel. Jannie en Marie verhuis in 1967 met hulle gesin terug na Siba-sa, waar Jannie sy suksesvolle sakeloopbaan voortsit. Oud-Siba-sa inwo ners onthou veral C&M Motors en die pionierswinkel, Sibasa Trading Store.

In 1998 verwesenlik oom

Jan nie sy droom om op Welge­vonden af te tree. Na 56 jaar se getroude lewe ontval tannie Marie hom in 2005.

In 2008 tree Jannie in die huwelik met Dorothy Wessels en die egpaar vestig hulle in die Bosveldsig-aftreeoord op Modi-molle, waar hy op 2 Oktober sterf na ‘n kort siekbed.

Oom Jannie was ‘n gesonde, energieke mens wat tot op 75-jarige ouderdom nog kom-peterende tennis gespeel het en altyd aktief betrokke was by sy gemeente, gemeenskap en kul-tuurorganisasies.

“Ons sal hom onthou as ‘n nederige mens wat baie geliefd en gerespekteerd was, sekerlik

omdat hy almal wat sy pad ge kruis het, met groot respek behandel het. Hy was klein van postuur maar groot van hart. Sy integriteit was onkreukbaar en sy werksywer legendaries. Hy was rasioneel, logies en beredeneerd, met ‘n wye algemene kennis en altyd ingelig oor wat in die wêreld aangaan. Hy het bitter min gekla en alles wat oor sy pad gekom het met toewyding han teer,” sê sy seun, prof. Jan Crafford.

‘n Gedenkdiens vir Jan Ernst Crafford is Maandag, 7 Oktober, in Modimolle gehou. Hy laat sy eggenote, Dorothy, sy kinders Erina, Ria en Jan, en vyf klein-kinders agter.

Die tema was “The greatest love story ever”. Vroue van die omgewing, sowel as van Polokwane, Nelspruit en Krugersdorp, het die kamp bygewoon. “Dit was sowaar ‘n onbeskryflike kamp, vol van God se liefde!” sê die komitee.

The Way, the Truth and the Life

I can see - Mark 10: 46­52

Our text reminds us that miracles were to bear testimony to the claims of

Jesus that He was indeed the long-awaited Christ, the Son of God. We are told that the blind would see and the deaf would hear.

I am sure blind Bartimaeus had heard about Christ and the miracles He had per-formed. Can you imagine the excitement that must have fi lled his heart when he heard that Jesus was coming along the road where he sat begging? Bartimaeus no doubt heard the crowds speaking of Jesus coming along the road, so he began to call out in a loud voice: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” (v49) Bartimaeus knew that Jesus was his only opportunity for healing.

And then a wonderful thing happened - Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then Jesus asked him, “what do you want Me to do for you?” He told the Lord that he wanted his sight. The Lord immediately healed him.

Do you know that all humans are spiritually blind? Without the presence of God’s Holy Spirit we cannot see Christ. What sinners need is for the Holy Spirit to come into their lives and change their characters. But the Holy Spirit does not knock on the door of the heart every day. It may be that even now you feel the need of a Saviour. The Spirit may not knock on the door of your soul tomorrow. Do not put off turning to Jesus. Like Barti-maeus, it may be that Jesus passes by you just once.

Happy Diwali to Hindu community

Die befoeterde Bosbewoner is ‘n forse teen-woordigheid, enige plek. Maar in die ned-

ersetting waar hy bly, is almal gewoond aan die bleekgesig. Al die misterie is daarmee heen, die man is so arm (indien nie armer nie) soos hulle, daar is geen luuksheid nie. Die inhoud van sy huis is min of meer gemeenskaplike eiendom, die groot Mashatuboom voor die hut ‘n vertoefplek vir enigeen.

Daisy se aankoms is vooraf bepraat. Daar is duistere protokols; die hoofman moet ingelig word, die gemeenskap moet kennis dra – al is dit net om samewerking te kry vir die skryf van hulle unieke geskiedenis. Vroeg-vroeg dus, die tweede dag, begin daar stofwolke rondom die hut opslaan. Vervaard soos Daisy is wanneer sy wakker word, sit sy vir ‘n uur buite en glo dat dit bewolk is voordat sy besef die son is nog nie op nie. ‘n Dun vroutjie met ‘n verbete trek om haar mond vee die grond rondom die hut skoon. Sy loer kort-kort in Daisy se rigting en kyk afkeurend na die beker koffi e en die warm kombers om Daisy se skouers. Druipstert maak Daisy haar bedrol bymekaar en probeer haar klere netjieser stapel ...

Later kom ‘n jong man teen die rivierwal op. Vir ‘n lang ruk sit hy en die Bosbewoner buite in volkome stilte; Daisy se teenwoordigheid word geïgnoreer. Toe sy nie langer haar nuus-kierigheid kan uitstaan nie, gaan bied sy tee

uit die Marokkaanse teeketel aan in haar fyn, wit koppietjies. Twee mansgesigte draai met ewe veel verstomming na haar oor dié vreemde kuiergebaar. Sy drink in stilte alleen tee, kyk hoe die jong man agteroor leun teen die muur en rustig aan die slaap raak ...

Haar daaglikse siestatjie op die harde bank word wreed onderbreek toe iemand haar leesbril van haar gesig afhaal. “Huh”, skrik Daisy vir die drie gefassineerde swart gesiggies langs haar en vlieg regop. Die dogtertjies giggel en maak beurte om die leesbril aan te pas. Daisy se mond hang oop terwyl die dogtertjies hulle neervlei op die vloer en haar glanstydskrifte deurblaai. Hulle klink soos rooivinkies in nes boutyd en elke bladsy met blink skoene en helderpienk naelpolitoer laat hulle opnuut kwetter. ‘n Opge-wonde tata-lôgesprek later met die Bosbewoner laat hulle vinnig gryp na besems en lappe en hulle skrop oneffektief in die badkamer en op die voorstoep ...

Laatmiddag sit Daisy en die Bosbewoner en uitkyk hoe die laaste sonstrale skaduwees oor die rivier begin trek.

“Gits, jong,” se Daisy. “Ek verstaan duidelik nie die doen van hierdie plek nie. G’n geklop-pery of uitnodigings nie, geen teken van pri vaatheid of persoonlike ruimte nie. En daai jong man wat hiernatoe kom net vir ‘n slapie ... Waar’s hulle maniere? En daai seningrige vroutjie – wat het ek aan háár gedoen?”

“Ai, Daisy ... Daai vroutjie, sy’s ‘n masjien. Sy het geen ophou nie, nooit nie. Haar missie in die lewe is om skoon te maak en te sorg, sonder enige vergoeding. Die laaste twee kere

wat ek malaria gehad het, het sy op die bank geslaap om my te verpleeg. Sy kom elke oggend en maak vir my pap, sy was skottelgoed en wasgoed – dit alles voordat sy na haar werk toe gaan op die paaie. En as sy dink my siel het strykwerk nodig, moet ons in die sitkamer gaan kniel en rapela! Sy praat nie baie nie, maar kýk die kyk sy jou uit! Ek dink nie sy glo die skry-wery nie, sy dink seker jy het duistere motiewe met haar wit kind!” lag hy uit sy ruim maag uit.

“O,” sê Daisy stil. “En die slapende man?”“Die oorlede hoofman se seun. Hy is die man

met al die inligting – die handgeskrewe joernale van sy pa, die geskiedenis en statistieke van die gemeenskappie, al die skindernuus en politieke nuanses. En hy’t g’n geslaap nie – hy het jou fyn dopgehou die hele tyd; besluit of hy jou kan vertrou aan die binnekant van sy mense. Hy sê jy is oukei, jy groet darem al op die Ven-da-manier en hy wil weet of jy kan kosmaak ...” Die Bosbewoner sukkel om sy gesig ernstig te hou.

“En voor jy vra, die dogtertjies kom elke middag na skool hiernatoe dan help ek hulle met huiswerk. Of hulle pak hout en doen wer kies vir sakgeld. Vanmiddag het hulle deur al jou wit klere gekyk en daai lang wit serp en die wit lapblomme wat jy in jou hare dra ... Hulle wou weet aan wie en met wat ek lobola betaal het en of hulle blommemeisies kan wees en wie gaan die bees slag en die bier maak,” skaterlag hy.

“Gmf,” praat Daisy later met die gemmerkat terwyl sy agteroorlê in ‘n skuimbad. “En ek dag sonde met die bure is ‘n wit kwaal en seders val net in Waterkloof!”

In die derde afl ewering van die weeklikse rubriek oor die lewe van Daisy, begin sy die bure ontmoet. Die inwoners van haar nuwe tuis te hier in die boendoes op die land se noordelike grense, is net so geïnter-esseerd in haar as wat sy in hulle is.

Brief

Skakel gerus in by die Voortrekkers

ontmoet die bure en word geweeg ...

Die ouers van Louis Trichardt doen hulle kinders ‘n onreg aan

deur hulle nie deel te laat wees van die Voortrekkers nie - daar waar dis-sipline en Christelike beginsels nog belangrik is. Hulle kan daar ook deel wees van ‘n ordentlike groep kinders.

Ek was die naweek op ‘n Voor-trekkerkamp by Letsitele. Daar was kinders en jongmense vanaf Polokwane, Tzaneen, Hoedspruit en wie weet waar!

Die kinders leer van Jesus en die natuur, asook noodhulp en maak maatjies orals. Tot as offi sier, het ek baie maats gemaak – so, kom wees ‘n offi sier.

Ek het my foon Vrydagaand misplaas. Dit is niks vreemds vir

my nie, want ek is maar ‘n loskop en het dit so aanvaar. Groot was my verbasing toe iemand Saterdag-oggend my foon aan my teruggee – iemand het dit by die noodhulptent ingehandig!

Die kos was onoortrefl ik, en die vriendelikheid van almal was maar net die kersie op die koek.

Ek was bang omdat ek ‘n nuwe offi sier is, maar dit was onnodig want die ander help jou, en jy voel gou deel van die Voortrekkers.

Asseblief, raak betrokke en voel vry om vir Riana Otto te skakel by 084 400 9941 vir meer inligting.

Last Friday, students and educators from Soutpansberg Primary School in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) celebrated their principal Mr John Whitely’s 58th birthday. The day was made extra special with the donation of 700 cupcakes by Mr Luke Enslin from Spar and Mr John le Cornu. There was, however, a twinge of sadness to the day’s celebrations, seeing that this will be the last year for Mr Whitely at the school. He will be retiring after 21 years of service to Souties.

Letter from the Press Council of South Africa

Press Council “committed to highest standards”(The following letter is a reply from the director of the Press Council of South Africa, Mr Joe Thlohloe and is a response to the open letter published last week in which readers are advised not to make use of the press ombudsman’s office until such time as the lack of integ­rity of the process had been addressed.)

It is understandable that Mr Anton van Zyl, owner and editor of the Zoutpansberger and the Limpopo Mirror, got very angry when a newspaper in the Media24 stable, Sondag, published allegations against his wife and vicariously against him.

He chose to complain to the Press Council of South Africa rather than go to the courts, something that we in this office encourage, to save readers from unnecessary expenses in litigation in the courts and to facilitate speedy resolutions.

What should have been a run-of-the-mill complaint has now been muddied, to the point where Mr van Zyl’s two publi-cations are now calling on their readers to boycott the Press Council and its processes.

In the nearly 1 800-word editorial carried by the two newspapers, Mr van Zyl alleges that this office is bullied by Media24 and pressurised “into not protecting the integrity of the Press Code”. To use his words: “…the Press Council looked the other way and allowed their biggest partner to urinate on the Press Code.”

These allegations are pa-tently untrue – one simply has to go into our website www.presscouncil.org.za to find the scores of rulings this office has delivered against Media24 publications. One merely has to read the rulings to see how this office values journalistic ethics and high standards in the print industry. Mr van Zyl knows this very well, but his anger has clouded his judgment.

We are proud that we are independent of the industry that funds our operations. Our constitution is very firm: “The constituent associations explic-itly guarantee the independence of the PCSA (Press Council of SA), so that it can act without fear or favour in the interests of a free and ethical press…”

Mr van Zyl has conjured up the stories of the problems in the British and Australian regulatory systems to bolster his argument, but these are

irrelevant to this particular complaint.

To focus our minds, here is the correct chronology of events related to the complaint:

May 26: Sondag published article Doom Se Doring.

May 27: Mr van Zyl sub-mitted complaint to the Press Council - i.e. to the Public Ad-vocate in the council - about it.

May 29: The complaint was forwarded to Sondag.

June 4: Mr van Zyl, in his capacity as editor of the Zout-pansberger, emailed questions to the editor of Sondag, Mr Peet Bothma, for an article he was writing about the Sondag story he had already com­plained about to the Press Council. (This is an incorrect assumption ­ see response below for clarity)

June 5: Bothma wrote back to van Zyl refusing to answer the questions. On the same day, Sondag asked the Public Ad-vocate for an extension of time to be allowed to respond to the complaint by the week of June 10, and that was granted.

Van Zyl’s lawyers sent a letter to Sondag demanding that the story be removed from the newspaper’s web­site, failing which they would approach the courts for an interdict against Sondag. The newspaper removed the article. (Also not correct – but of lesser importance in this debate)

June 7: Zoutpansberger published an article Sondige Sondag running on its front page and page 2. A photo­graph of the article that was the subject of this complaint accompanied the Zoutpans-berger article.

Peet Bothma wrote to the Ombudsman and said Sondag had instructed its lawyers to take further steps because the complainant had decided to debate its issues publicly by publishing the article.

Sondag’s lawyers sent a letter of demand to the Zout-pansberger, van Zyl and Mrs Adri van Zyl demanding that the Zoutpansberger retract the article and apologise unconditionally for it.

Sondag responded to the Public Advocate on the complaint, arguing that “this matter has escalated … beyond the jurisdiction of the Press Ombudsman as envis­aged by the Press Code.”

June 10: President of the Association of Independent Publishers Mahmood San­

glay wrote to the Press Coun­cil conveying Mr van Zyl’s concerns and his belief that Media24 was intimidating him by resorting to the use of lawyers on this complaint.

June 13: The Zoutpans-berger lawyers responded to Sondag’s lawyers saying that Mrs van Zyl had no connec­tion to the Zoutpansberger other than that her husband owned it: “she…has no input as far as the editorial content is concerned.”

The lawyers concluded: “Any application or action instituted by your client will vehemently be opposed.”

June 27: Public Advocate set aside her acceptance of the complaint.

Press Ombudsman endorsed the setting aside of the accep-tance of the complaint.

July 1: Adri van Zyl lodged an application for leave to appeal, arguing: “The initial complaint was compiled by my husband, for the simple reason that he is more used to writing and he knows the procedures much better than I do. He also did it from a first person per-spective, because he believes it is the duty of a husband to fight on behalf of his wife …”

September 10: The Chair of Appeals, retired Gauteng Judge President Bernard Ngoepe, dis-missed the application for leave to appeal, ruling: “We cannot substitute one complainant for the other at this stage.”

This chronology, particular the material in bold, gives a broad and fuller look at the events that led to Van Zyl writing his editorial. This broader look reveals a number of facts that Van Zyl’s readers should take into account before accepting his proposal not to use the Press Council:

1. Mr van Zyl, by his own admission and by his wife’s account, knows the rules – after all he was party to writing them.

2. He knows that the Press Council’s “independent co-reg-ulatory system” relies on the good faith of the complainant and the publication to resolve their dispute through using the system. Once we believe that one of the parties intends going to court, we withdraw our at-tempt to mediate and allow the parties to resolve the matter at another forum they prefer.

3. Mr van Zyl ignored that and tried to slug it out with Sondag through the Zout­pansberger’s editorial pages.

He sent questions related to this complaint to the editor of Sondag and proceeded to pub-lish the article Sondige Sondag. He had thus chosen another forum to fight his battle.

4. Only when the inappro-priateness of this strategy was pointed out to him did he attempt to distance the editorial content of the Zoutpansberger from his wife.

His lawyers say that Mrs van Zyl has no connection to the Zoutpansberger other than that her husband owns it and “she…has no input as far as the editorial content is concerned”.

5. In Mrs van Zyl’s appli-cation for leave to appeal she says: “The initial complaint was compiled by my husband, for the simple reason that he is more used to writing and he knows the procedures much better than I do. He also did it from a first person perspective, because he believes it is the duty of a husband to fight on behalf of his wife…”

6. When it suits them, the van Zyls are inseparable and when it doesn’t they want to be seen as separate entities.

7. They leave the Press Council in a position similar to that of a peacemaker in a pub brawl, whose attempts to sepa-rate the opponents are thwarted by the sneaky blows thrown around him.

8. The first letter of demand sent by lawyers was from Mr van Zyl. True, he did withdraw it when he was advised by the Public Advocate. But when the Sondag lawyers sent him a let-ter of demand and his lawyers said they would defend any action, the matter jumped out of the Press Council to another forum.

9. The Press Council then correctly decided on its own that its processes had been sullied.

It is untrue that the Press Council was bullied by Sondag or Media24 and it is simply un-fortunate that the Press Council was not able to get into the merits of the complaint.

The van Zyls are now free to apply to a court of law for a review of our decisions or they may take their complaint to another forum whose rules they respect.

Having said all that, it is encouraging that Mr van Zyl has not withdrawn his publi-cations from the Press Council system – such a withdrawal would have meant pulling out of the Association of Indepen-dent Publishers and losing the benefits of membership of the association. He, however, urges his readers to complain directly to him if they have anything

against his newspapers, and if they are dissatisfied with the solutions he offers, they may go to the Press Council. He says his publications will abide by the rulings of the Council. This is yet another example of Mr van Zyl wanting to have his cake and eating it. He is, in fact, saying nothing new: we always encourage unhap-py readers to first send their complaints to the editor of a publication and then come to the Press Council when they don’t find satisfaction at that level.

Truth is that the Press Coun-cil remains committed to the highest standards of excellence in print journalism.

­ Joe ThlohloeDirector: Press Council of

South Africa

Dear Mr Thlohloe.

I again want to state ­ as was done in the open letter ­ that this fight is not “against” the regulatory process. It is also not about a lack of respect for the people working at the Press Council, in fact, they deserve admiration and praise for what they are trying to do. It is about a system that has flaws and these flaws are exploited by media players who act in their own interest and not the interest of truth and freedom of expression.

The sad part is that you have now fallen into the trap that Media24 has set for you; you started playing the man instead of focussing on what had real­ly happened. In Media24’s submission to Judge Ngoepe the distinction between my role as member of society and my role as newspaper owner was deliberately muddled. That is also why they probably never pointed out that the person who handled the correspondence with the editor of Sondag, was not me, but Andries van Zyl, news editor of the Zoutpans-berger.

Much of this case concerns the responsibilities of the press. The press has the responsibil­ity to honour the Press Code, which means that basic human rights such as the right to dig­nity should be respected. The press has the responsibility to reflect news in a true and fair manner. The press also has the duty to act as watchdogs of the community to expose corrup­tion and lies.

The Press Council, of all institutions, should under­stand the responsibilities of a newspaper’s editorial team. As is reflected in your reply, the Press Council “blames” the Zoutpansberger for writing

about the lies depicted in Sondag’s article. (“ …tried to slug it out with Sondag through the Zoutpansberger’s editorial pages”). What would the Press Council expect the Zoutpans-berger to do? Just be quiet about it and let it slide?

The decision to expose Sondag’s lies was an editorial decision. That takes noth­ing away from my personal involvement. The Press Council expects newspaper editors to take full responsibility for ev­erything published, irrespective of whether they wrote the story or not. This mere expectation implies that the newspaper is seen (and very rightfully so) as a separate entity comprising reporters and editors. Is it not a bit too convenient to now sep­arate the entity and argue that, because the newspaper carried a story that conveyed another perspective, the individuals have no separate rights?

Do you for one moment think this act of standing up against someone like Media24 is easy for an individual or a small publisher? This “cake” that you talk about is not something that I would offer to you or any other friend.

It would have been much easier to do what most people do, namely to just ignore it all and move on.

In your reply you never commented on the real issues, namely that:

· Complainants are immedi­ately exposed to the big media groups’ lawyers.

· The big media groups do not use the regulatory system, but instead opt for the courts. (As you yourself alluded to in point 8)

· The actions of the bigger media players by abusing human rights impact negatively on the smaller publishers.

· The current system of co­regulation offers little pro­tection of freedom of speech for small publishers.

As to your comment that we still refer readers to the Press Council – that is a bit of se­lective reading. We respect the choice of our readers, meaning that should they decide to opt for that route we will abide by it.

Finally – as a matter of interest – we did notify the AIP in advance that we are very possibly transgressing the association’s Articles and that they should consider action against us.

Twee stoeiers van die Louis Trichardt Stoeiklub het aan die Suid­Afrikaanse Jeug en Junior Stoeikampioenskappe deelgeneem en tuisgekom met ‘n medalje en ‘n negende plek.

Die SA’s het op 27 en 28 September in Bloem-fontein plaasgevind. In die O/13-afdeling het 106 stoeiers in 12 verskillende gewigsklasse ingeskryf.

Die 12-jarige Stefan Corbett en Theo le Roux het aan die O/13-afdeling in hul onderskeie gewigs klasse deelgeneem. Hulle kan volgende jaar ook nog in die O/13-afdeling stoei. Stefan het ‘n derdeplek in die 58 tot 63kg gewigsklas behaal en Theo was negende in die 42 tot 46kg klas. In Theo se afdeling was daar 14 inskrywings en in Stefan s’n drie.

“Die standaard van die stoei was baie hoog. Stoei in Limpopo is egter baie gesond. Al is Lim-popo een van die kleinste stoeiprovinsies, het die provinsie vyf medaljes by die O/13’s gekry en vier by die O/15’s,” sê afrigter Minnei le Roux. Die stoeier wat in Theo se gewigsklas gewen het, is

van Limpopo. In die wêreld stoeikampioenskappe wat in Augustus in Serwië gehou is, het ‘n O/16 Limpopo stoeier van Polokwane, Lucius Janse van Rensburg, ‘n brons medalje verower.

Vanjaar was beide Stefan en Theo se derde deelname aan die SA’s. Hulle kon egter nie verlede jaar daaraan deelneem nie, aangesien die nuwe wêreldwye LTAD (Longterm Athlete De-velopment) model ook in Suid-Afrika ingestel is, waarvolgens kompeterende stoei net vanaf O/13-vlak kan geskied. Stefan en Theo kon nog onder die vorige bedeling as baie jong stoeiertjies aan die SA’s deelneem.

Afrigter Minnei sê dat alhoewel sommige stoei-ers, soos Theo, se stoei geaffekteer is deurdat hy nie verlede jaar kompeterend kon stoei nie, hy as af-rigter tog die nuwe program heelhartig ondersteun. “Die klein stoeiertjies leer nou basiese vaardighede soos balans, beweeglikheid, liggaamshouding en liggaamsoriëntering speel-speel aan en hulle stoe-igrepe kom ook goed aan,” sê Minnei.

Twee beïndruk by SA’s

Lede van die Soutpansberg Skiet klub het op Saterdag, 5 Oktober, aan ‘n groepering­skietkompetisie in Tzaneen deelgeneem. Dit was een van die grootste kompetisies van sy soort in die land, met meer as 1 500 skuts wat dié dag deel­geneem het.

In die afdeling vir grootgew-ere (opties) het Theo Goosen ‘n alge he le vyfdeplek behaal,

terwyl Hannelie Goosen ses-tiende geëindig het, Ampie du Toit 24ste en Junior Smit 25ste. Ampie het twee de geëindig in die grootgewere se oopvisier-kate-gorie. Van die klub se jonger lede het hulle seniors die loef afgesteek in die .22-gewere se junior seniors kategorie. Junior Smit het die eersteplek behaal en Simoné du Toit ‘n tweedeplek. In die junior .22-kategorie verower

Bret Richter ‘n eersteplek terwyl Wian du Toit derde eindig. In die-selfde kategorie vir seniors was Theo Goosen tweede en Frikkie de Jager derde.

Altesaam het die klublede on-geveer R17 500 in prysgeld huis toe gebring. Hannelie Goosen het ook tweede geëindig in die hand-wapenskategorie, terwyl Junior Smit ‘n vyfdeplek verower het in die windbukskategorie.

Rugbynuus

Die Louis Trichardt Rugbyklub bied hierdie komende Saterdag ‘n fees van plaaslike rugby aan op die dorp se velde.

Plaaslike spanne sal deelneem aan die Limpopo Rugby Seweskampioenskappe. “Dit belowe om ‘n heerlike dag vol aks-ie-belaaide rugby te wees,” sê die klub se organiseerders. Louis Trichardt se spanne lê tans bo-aan die punteleer van die kam-pioenskappe.

Daar sal Saterdag altesaam ses spanne mekaar die stryd aansê. Die spanne is die

van Letaba, Louis Trichardt se eerste- en tweedespan, Potgietersrus, Pietersburg Dorp en die Universiteit van Limpopo se span. Die eerste wedstryd tussen Letaba en die Universiteit van Limpopo sal om 14:00 afskop. Daarna sal Potgietersrus en Pietersburg se spanne mekaar die stryd aan sê, waarna Louis Trichardt se eerstes teen Letaba te staan sal kom.

“Daar sal dus genoeg geleentheid wees vir ondersteuners om solank ‘n braaivleis-vuurtjie aan die gang te kry,” nooi die organiseerders.

Louis Trichardt se tweedespan sal om 15:00 teen Potgietersrus te staan kom, waarna die universiteit se manne weer teen Louis Trichardt se eerstespan sal uitdraf. Louis Trichardt se tweedespan sal dan weer te staan kom teen Pietersburg, waarna die uitklopwedstryde om 16:10 sal begin.

Toegangsgeld by die hekke beloop R20 per voertuig, en die klub se voorsitter, mnr. Kevin Gilbert, kan geskakel word by 082 892 8769 vir meer inligting.

Dertig fietsryers van die Tzaneen fietsryklub het die afgelope naweek die gewilde Driehoektoer aangepak vanaf Tzaneen na Makhado (Louis Trichardt) na Polokwane en terug na Tzaneen. Saterdag (12de) het fietsryers van die P&L Fietsryklub, asook ander belangstellendes, saam met Tzaneen die N1 aangedurf vanaf Louis Trichardt Lodge tot by die Capricorn Tolhek. “Ons wil graag baie dankie sê aan al die ondersteuners, voertuigbestuurders en veral vir die personeel van Total Capricorn vir hulle gawe diens, heerlike koffie en besonderse piesangbroodjies. Dit is voorwaar die beste plek om te stop op die roete!” het die fietsryers gesê. Afgeneem is die groep by Total Capricorn. Foto verskaf.

Hoërskool Eric Louw van Musina het op Saterdag, 12 Oktober, die voorreg gehad om aan die Top 10 Swemgala in Polokwane deel te neem.
