“Ons het ‘n gemeenskap wat omgee.”So het mnr. André Kruger, die bestuurder

van Stevens Lumber Mills op die Witvlagpad buite Makhado (Louis Trichardt), vandeesweek gesê nadat ‘n verwoestende wegholveldbrand honderde hektaar bosbouplantasies in puin gelê het.

Teen Woensdag was dit nog te vroeg om te sê wat die presiese omvang van die skade is, maar Kruger skat dit op miljoene. Van oral het daar egter hulp gekom om die vuur onder beheer te kry.

“As dit nie was vir al die hande en hulp nie, sou dit verseker die einde van bosbou beteken het,” het Kruger vertel. Volgens hom het nagenoeg 150 mense kom help. “Selfs mense wat mens van geen Adamskant af ken nie, het gestop om hulp aan te bied.”

Dié veldbrand het verlede Vrydag ongeveer

10:00 op die plaas Boschdrift in die Piesanghoek-omgewing begin. Sterk winde het die vuur vinnig laat versprei na van die aangrensende bosbouplantasies.

Talle van die vrywilligers wat gehelp het om die brand te bestry, het regdeur Vrydagnag tot die volgende Saterdagaand vuur geslaan. Teen Saterdag is die hulp van Working on Fire inge-roep, wat ‘n helikopter gestuur het. Later is die hulp van nog ‘n helikopter en ‘n klein vliegtuig gekry om ook te help om die vlamme te blus.

Die boerdery- en sakegemeenskappe van Le-vubu en Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het hande gevat met inwoners en vrywilligers en gesorg dat daar genoeg kos en water was vir al die brandbestryders.

Gelukkig is niemand deur die loop van die naweek beseer nie.

Teen Maandag het dit gelyk of die einde in sig was en die vuurspanne was besig om die area te fynkam om seker te maak dat daar nie nog dele

was wat brand nie.Op Boschdrift is daar ongeveer 450 hektaar

afgebrand. Sowat 185 Hektaar van mnr. Neels van der Merwe se plantasies, wat grens aan Boschdrift, het ook afgebrand.

Dinsdag moes die spanne inderhaas wéér regstaan toe die vuur weer begin opvlam het en nagenoeg 200 hektaar van Stevens Lumber se plantasie verswyg het.

Kruger het Woensdag gesê dat die moontlik-heid van brandstigting ondersoek word, maar dat dit nog te vroeg is om die presiese oorsaak van die veldbrand te bepaal.

Teen druktyd was Kruger en die spanne brand-bestryders nog besig om seker te maak dat die vuur onder beheer is en om die presiese omvang van die skade te bepaal.

Kruger het met groot lof gepraat van al die vrywilligers wat die naweek gehelp het en almal bedank wat iets geskenk het of hulp aangebied het.

Mnr. André Kruger kyk na die vlamme wat die afgelope naweek honderde hektaar bosbouplantasie in puin gelê het. Die vlamme het by tye etlike meters in die lug op gebrand.

New business or service?

Werda Toyota op Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het Maandag hul nuwe stoorruimte in Burgerstraat amptelik in gebruik geneem. Volgens mnr. Eddie Schlesinger, eienaar van Werda Motors, help die stoor hulle om steeds beter diens aan hul kliënte te lewer. Nie net word dit gebruik om Werda se voertuie in te stoor nie, maar daar is ook personeelparkering en stoorruimte vir motoronderdele. Dit los die bestaande sakeperseel weer met genoeg parkeerplek vir kliënte. Afgeneem in die nuwe stoorruimte is (links) die kontrakteur, mnr. Quintin Vogel, en mnr. Eddie Schlesinger.

Changes are afoot at the premises of the old Milky Lane in the Makhado Cross-ing Mall.

Since Monday, 1 October, Frozitos has been operating from the premises. According to the manager, Mr Dawid Coetzer, they decided to termi-nate the Milky Lane franchise and rather opt for a personal business to enable them to offer clients more competitive prices.

In addition, the new premis-es will boast an additional take-away franchise, next door to Frozitos, namely Big Al’s.

A quick on-site visit to the store revealed promises of big things to come, even though the store is not functioning at full capacity.

Frozitos is currently open to the public and clients are welcome to pop in for a soft-serve ice cream, waffl es and pancakes. For those with a sweeter tooth, a wide variety

of mouth-watering ice cream toppings is available. As the store nears completion, they will extend their range of ice creams to not only include 24 different fl avours, but they will also stock a range of sorbets and frozen yoghurts.

Big Al’s, adjacent to Frozi-tos, is expected to be completed by the end of the month. Their menu will include a variety of take-away foods, such as burg-ers, chips and hot dogs.

"ATM out of cash due to road transport strike" lees dié nota by ́ n bank outomaat in die sentrale sakegebied van Makhado (Louis Trichardt). Die geldtekort het die naweek op plekke in die dorp tydelike ongerief veroorsaak, sonder grootskaalse ontwrigting.

Die Soutpansberg Distrikslandbou-unie (SDLU) het op 26 en 27 September die nasionale TLU SA Kongres in Pretoria gaan bywoon. Na afl oop van die kongres het die lede die volgende borge bedank vir hul ondersteuning: Tractor Field Services, Bell Tzaneen, Greenfarms Nut Co, PSG Konsult Levubu, Wolkbergplase, Standardbank Klerksdorp, Kumo Plant Hire, Alert Staal LTT, Du Toits Bande Levubu, Levubu Vulstasie, Levubu Spar, Christo Theunissen, Thinus Botha, P&L Hardeware Levubu, Yield Levubu, Silverton Radiators LTT, Vhavenda Bricks, Werda Toyota en Benoni Volkswagen.

On 25 September, the Ma-khado police arrested two male suspects, aged 27 and 31 respectively, in connection with theft out of a motor vehicle.

The spokesperson for the Makhado police, Capt Maano Sadike, said that the two men are alleged to have used force to open a locked vehicle at the corner of Tshirululuni and Leeu Street on 24 September. They then stole a laptop computer and ran away with it.

“Through the assistance of the community members, we managed to arrest two suspects in connection with this incident of theft,” said Capt Sadike. “They will appear in court soon.”

According to Capt Sadike, a possibility exists that, pending further investigations, the sus-pects can be linked to other cases which happened in the area.

In a separate incident, the police are investigating the cir-cumstances surrounding a rob-bery involving a cash-in-transit vehicle which took place at around 12:30 on 25 September in the central business district in Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

It is alleged that the driver and a crew from a cash-in-transit se-curity company had just parked the vehicle in a parking lot to deliver some cash to one of the businesses in the district. Soon they were confronted by three

unknown suspects. One of the suspects pointed a firearm at them and threatened to shoot if they did not hand over the money.

A box of money was con-sequently taken by force. The three suspects used a Toyota van, which had no registration number, to fl ee from the scene. “No injuries were sustained dur-ing the robbery incident,” said police spokesperson Capt Sadike. "However, the police are calling on members of public to come forward with information which might assist the police with their investigations." The detective unit can be contacted at 082 319 9638.

Two arrested for stealing from cars

Quite a lot has happened over the past month at the coal-mining site of the Australian mining company, Coal of Af-rica Limited (CoAL).

Shortly after CoAL announced on Monday that Exxaro would not exercise their pre-emptive right to a 30% interest in the Makhado project, its next an-nouncement, that it had acquired a new Chinese partner, comes as more of a surprise.

On Tuesday, CoAL’s shares rebounded by as much as 19% when they announced a strategic partnership with Beijing Haohua Resources.

This will see the Chinese ther-mal and anthracite coal producer inject $100 million into the Ma-khado project.

Haohua Resources, which is a unit of the Shanghai-listed Bei-jing Haohua Energy Resources, made the equity offer to CoAL in the Chinese company’s first ever investment outside of China.

The $100 million cap-ital injection will take place in two stages, ac-cording to CoAL. In the fi rst phase, Haohua will make a $20 million pay-ment to CoAL, taking a 4.8% to 5.2% sharehold-ing by January, subject to regulatory approval by the Australian For-eign Investment Review

Board.In the meantime, CoAL’s

independent consultants, Naledi Development, announced last week that affected or interested parties can now comment on the fi nal environmental management plan (EMP) of the Makhado Colliery. The public will have until 28 November to lodge any comments or complaints regard-ing the project. A hard copy of the EMP can be viewed at the Makhado Public Library or the Makhado Municipality. Alter-natively, it can be downloaded from Naledi’s website at www.naledidev.co.za.

This announcement raised sev-eral eyebrows, particularly since the Makhado colliery’s water-use

licence is still a topic of great debate. Even so, the company has announced in its recent an-nual report that the Makhado mine “is well into the feasibil-ity stage, with a draft defi nitive feasibility study havening been reviewed by the CoAL board in March 2012."

The application for their min-ing right was submitted in Janu-ary last year and is already at an advanced stage.

As for CoAL’s Greater Sout-pansberg project, no response had been received from the Department of Mineral Rights as to CoAL’s application for six prospecting rights that was sub-mitted on the basis of amended EMPs.

town?

Instead of the march of the dignitaries, led by a brass band, that was originally indicated, the dignitaries drove by in their stylish vehicles led by motorcycles, while sirens sounded and lights fl ashed. Warriors ran along with the vehicles. The name-change launch took place on 29 September.

Dignitaries on stage in a celebratory mood at the Makhado Municipality’s name-change launch on 29 September. In the middle is the newly inaugurated Vhavenda King, Vho-Toni Mphepu Ramabulana, and to his right is Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale. Left is the executive mayor of the Vhembe District Municipality, Cllr Tshititereke Matibe.

“This town is not renamed just after another person, but it is named after a brave warrior who fought bitterly to defend his people and their land … Makhado led his people from the front and always understood the importance of remaining vigilant against enemy invasion. He was a good strategist who possessed unique qualities of leadership. Without any formal military training, he commanded his regiment wisely and care-fully."

This was part of the keynote ad-dress delivered by Limpopo's pre-mier, Cassel Mathale, during Satur-day's function to introduce the new name for the town offi cially.

“He (Makhado) was a true organic intellectual who led his people with humility and intelligence. He was advanced in terms of thinking and planning. He had passion to forge re-lations with other traditional leaders, for he was interested in the unity of the indigenous people of this coun-try. Our generation must be proud of leaders like Makhado, who knew nothing except to fi ght for his people. He had the ability to accommodate other people and respect their rights to practice their culture, in particular minority groups that were under his authority,” said Premier Mathale.

This last sentence was in stark contrast with what a previous speaker had said in his memorial lecture on the late warrior King Makhado.

Chief Masakona reiterated more than once how Makhado “reduced the fl ourishing town of Schoemans-dal to ashes and forced the whites to

evacuate.”Mathale said that the fact that they

had respected the decision of the court which had ruled against the fi rst resolution to rename the town from Louis Trichardt to Makhado was a living testimony to how they valued court judgments.

The Chairpersons Association, who was responsible for the appeal to get the fi rst renaming set aside, warned before the name-change launch that the event was premature, since the CA has six months to take the second renaming to court on review. The CA described the event as a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Mathale said that the process of change was costly and no man could stand in the way of change.

“The renaming of certain places, including streets, is an important programme that cannot be delayed or frustrated by fi nancial arguments,” he said.

Even though Saturday's parade from the Makhado Municipality to the information centre started an hour late, the rest of the programme fl owed smoothly.

The attendance appeared a bit top heavy, with not quite so many ordi-nary people in attendance. Dignitar-ies included the newly inaugurated Vhavenda King, Vho-Toni Mphephu Ramabulana, Limpopo Premier Cas-sel Mathale, MECs, and the executive mayor of the Vhembe District Mu-nicipality, Cllr Tshititereke Matibe, as well as the Makhado mayor, Cllr David Muthavatsindi.

Guests in the VIP tent numbered close to 200 and guests seated in the

“Warrior King Makhado” honoured with ceremonyother marquee tents close to 500.

The cost of the name-change launch was esti-mated by some to be in the order of R250 000. The Makhado Municipality could not give a fi gure this week.

“The cost has not yet been consolidated and some of the items were sourced through donations,” said the municipal spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi.

DA Cllr Brian du Plooy wanted to know where the event had been budgeted for and he described it as “unbudgeted expenditure”. “How can you celebrate the name change when an appeal is hang-ing?” Du Plooy asked.

Premier Mathale told the Zoutpansberger that the celebration was not premature because the name change had been promulgated.

“The name is Makhado. We have a democratic constitution, and therefore it is their right to apply for a review to put the name aside. But remember, we also have constitutional rights and we will ap-peal right up to the constitutional court,” Mathale said.

EN CHILLI BITES.

Vehicle hunters should be extremely cautious of auction notices offering bank-repossessed vehicles at attractively low prices – usually also with no deposits needed.

An alarmed Limpopo resident contacted the Zoutpansberger this week to seek help after appar-ently having been taken in by unscrupulous opera-tors of a scam which first surfaced in the province during the first half of last year.

The person, whose name is being withheld for obvious reasons, reacted to a pamphlet which he found during a visit to Pretoria in July this year. In the name of an auctioneering firm, fairly new bank-repossessed vehicles are being offered for taking over of instalments at attractively low prices. He was interested in two bakkies. After telephonic negotiations, he was first requested to send money

for license and registration fees and later, after a delay “to prepare the contract”, he was contacted for delivery costs. He spent R3 260 on the two vehicles of his choice. Deliveries would start at the beginning of September.

After the latest contact, he was promised he would receive his cars in seven to 14 days. This never happened. Now repeated calls to the number are answered by voicemail. Suspecting that some-thing was amiss, he searched the Internet and landed on the website of the Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror.

A similar experience was reported by yet another visitor to Zoutnet’s website. He said he had recently reacted to an advertisement by “Radebe-Kruger & Partners (Pty) Ltd”

In March last year, the Zoutpansberger reported on an advertisement pamphlet by “Fisher-Radebe & Partners Auctions (Pty) Ltd” who gave their official address as 83 Pine Street in Musina.

A “client” from another province, who had also already paid “license and registration and delivery fees”, made the trip to Musina to have a look at his bargain-priced, to-be-delivered vehicle, only to find that no such address exists in Musina. The CIPRO (Company and Intellectual Properties Registration Office) also had no record of such a company. The advertisement on the pamphlet was in open contravention of the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) directive that “Advertisements by brokers offering to arrange instalment take-overs or delegations, without the written consent of the financial institution involved, will not be permitted. Advertisers wishing to offer such services will be required to provide proof that such consent has been given…”

Although “no deposits” are needed, pre-payment of R350 “for license and registration” and R850 for “delivery nationwide” is required. To be approved as a buyer, the pamphlet says, you are required to send an SMS with your name, surname, ID number, address, place of work, type of car that you want and further contact details. The only contact number on the pamphlet is a cell phone number.

Beware of “deals” for cheap vehicles

'n AfriForum afvaardiging het die nuwe munisipale bestuurder, mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali, op 28 September in sy kantoor ontmoet. Verskeie knelpunte is bespreek, waaronder die opruim en verfraaiing van die voëlpark en boompark. Van links, kloksgewys, is mnr. Mutshinyali en die AfriForum afvaardiging, bestaande uit mnr. Lampie Schoeman (addisionele lid), mnr. Herman Smith (ondervoorsitter) en mnr. Wally Schultz (voorsitter).

Is daar hoop vir die dorp se boompark?Gaan Makhado (Louis Tri-chardt) se voëlpark en boom-park een van die dae beter lyk?

Dit is moontlik, nadat AfriFo-rum die nuwe munisipale bestu-urder, mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali, ontmoet het en die opruim en verfraaiing van die voëlpark en boompark as ‘n gesamentlike projek voorgestel het.

‘n AfriForum afvaardiging, bestaande uit die voorsitter , mnr. Wally Schultz, die onder-voorsitter, mnr. Herman Smith en addisionele lid, mnr. Lampie Schoeman, het op 28 September die geleentheid gehad om ‘n vergadering met die munisipale bestuurder in sy eie kantoor te hou.

Smith het gesê dat hulle ‘n trekker, skraper, arbeid en grass-nyer sal benodig. Die doel is om die gedeeltes naby die N1 op te ruim en aantreklik te kry sodat die dorp aanloklik vir investering kan wees.

Mutshinyali, wat al-reeds getoon het dat hy ‘n persoon van aksie is, het dadelik ingestem en wou summier ‘n datum vir die opruiming vas-stel. Die vergadering het besluit dat die vasstel-ling van die datum sal volg op ‘n amptelike brief van AfriForum aan die munisipaliteit in dié verband.

Ander onooglikhede wat genoem is, is die park oorkant die Cal-tex motorhawe waar haweloses hul was-goed bo-oor vullish-

ope laat droogword, asook die straatverkopers en haweloses by Eltivillas naby die N1. Schoe-man het voorgestel dat borde wat aandui dat daar geen oornag-geriewe vir swaarvoertuie in die dorp is nie, net buite die dorp aangebring word. “Ons is lief vir hierdie dorp en ons is baie ernstig daaroor om ‘n verskil te maak, maar hierdie dorp is in ‘n gemors: die infrastruktuur kan nou enige oomblik totaal in duie stort,” het Schultz gesê.

Mutshinyali het heeltmal saamgestem oor die belangrik-heid van die dorp. “Ek glo daaraan om aandag aan die dorp te gee en die beste diens vir die dorp se inwoners te lewer, want hulle help met die res (buitewyke),” het die munisipale bestuurder gesê. Onvoltooide take is ook genoem. Mutshinyali het gesê dat hy poog om rond te ry en waar te neem waar gate byvoorbeeld nie weer toegemaak word nie. By die

werk aan die kruising van Mun-nik- en Joubertstraat het hy die werkers teruggeroep en gesê dat hulle die gat weer moet toemaak. Die vraag ontstaan onwillekeurig waar die tegniese direkteur in hierdie prentjie is.

Schultz het die gebrekkige kommunikasie geopper en gesê dat dit baie moeilik is om akku-rate inlgting van die munisi-paliteit se kant te kry. Hy het beklemtoon dat dit nie net ‘n groepie witmense is wat ongeluk-kig is oor dienslewering nie, maar dat die mense van Tshikotha en elders ook kla.

AfriForum het die munisipale bestuurder aangespoor tot sterk optrede. Schoeman het die mu-nisipaliteit met ‘n skip vergelyk. “Hierdie skip is gebou vir diens-lewering. Hierdie skip het ‘n kaptein nodig. Raak ontslae van die seerowers en kry seemanne terug op die skip. Wees ‘n sterk kaptein,” het hy gesê.

Laerskool Louis Trichardt, wat al 106 jaar oud is, het op 27 September ‘n vrolike en kleurvolle optog gehou om gebeure van ‘n halfeeu gelede te herdenk. Dié gebeure was die trek van die skool na die huidige geboue in 1961 en die ingebruikneming van die sportgeriewe in 1962.

Met die terugstap het sommige oud-leerlinge ‘n stoeltjie gedra om die trek na die huidige skool gebou te herdenk. Voor, van links, is mnr. Pieter Erasmus (oud-Triegie) en sy eggenoot, me. Elsie Erasmus, oud- Triegie Meisie van Wyngaardt (née Schwan), me. Ina Erasmus en mnr. Willie Erasmus (oud-Triegie). Agter is mnr. Francois Erasmus, oud-Triegie mnr. Wiekie Erasmus, wat beter op die inlas (links) gesien kan word en me. Aletta Erasmus. Die inlas regs toon mnr. Andro Fourie (oud-Triegie), wat ook ‘n stoeljie gedra het.


Skool herdenk “groot trek” van 1961Laerskool Louis Trichardt, wat al 106 jaar oud is, het op 27 September ‘n vrolike en kleurvolle optog gehou om gebeure van ‘n halfeeu gelede te herdenk.

Dié gebeure was die trek van die skool vanaf die geboue op die hoek van Krogh- en Eras-musstraat (waar Nictus tans geleë is) na die huidige geboue in 1961 en die ingebruikneming van die sportgeriewe in 1962.

Die hele skool het gestap, asook sommige oud-leerlinge wat self in 1961 aan die “groot trek” deelgeneem het, waar die leerlinge die skoolmeubels na die nuwe skoolgebou help dra het. Met die terugstap na die skool het die mans elkeen ‘n stoeltjie gedra om dié trek te gedenk.

Raadslid Jackie Underwood het by die verrigtinge in die par-keerarea van die Nictus-perseel die skool toegespreek. “Onder-wys en opvoeding is die sleutel na ‘n gelukkige en suksesvolle toekoms. Dit begin alles in die

klaskamer en op die speelgrond met die hulp van toegewyde onderwysers. Ons respekteer hulle vir hulle harde werk en die groot verantwoordelikheid wat op hulle rus om ons kinders te bemagtig,” het Underwood gesê.

Sy het ook verwys na die nuwe tye waarin ons kinders leef. Vyftig jaar gelede was daar nog nie rekenaars, televisie en selfone nie.

“Maar iets wat glad nie ve-rander het nie, is dat kinders, net soos 50 jaar gelede, elke dag skool toe kom om te ontdek waaroor die lewe gaan en om meer van verskillende kulture te leer, om te leer hoe om me-kaar te respekteer en om te leer om somme te doen en hoe om korrek te spel,” het Underwood gesê. Sy het verwys na al die gemeenskapsleiers wat al uit Laerskool Louis Trichardt se geledere voortgekom het.

Die drie Erasmus-broers, Pieter, Willie en Wiekie, was onder die oud-Triegies wat

teenwoordig was. Hulle ouers het op Mara Navorsingstasie gewoon. Mnr. Willie Erasmus het namens die oud-Triegies die woord by die Nictus parkeerter-rein gevoer en aan die kinders gesê dat hulle presies daar staan waar die klaskamers voorheen was. Die ander oud-Triegies was mnr. Andro Fourie, me. Heleen Fourie, me. Meisie van Wyngaardt (née Schwan), mnr. Dopper Kruger en me. Joey Pavier (née Strydom). Hulle kon lekker oor die ou dae, die onderwysers en dié se byname, asook hul eie byname, gesels. So het mnr. Martiens Kruger se bynaam, Dopper, wat hy by 'n onderwyser, mnr. Apie Verreyne, gekry het, by almal vasgesteek.

By ‘n funksie vir die oud-Triegies het die skoolhoof, mnr. Louis Linde, genoem dat alles wat by die skool bereik is, genade van die Here af is. Die volgende dag het 'n ker-mis en boeresport die vieringe afgesluit.

Nog kla oor rokke wat nie betyds gemaak word nie

Mariska se rok daag toe betyds op vir groot dag

“Dit was asof ek met ‘n dooie mens gepraat het.”

So het nog ‘n bruid, wat binnekort op trou staan, vertel oor haar nagmer-rie ondervinding met Nicky Viljoen van Chillypea Bridal Couture.

Die 23-jarige Marika Nel het ver-lede week haar storie aan die Zout-pansberger vertel nadat sy ook ‘n klag van diefstal onder valse voorwendsels teen Viljoen gaan lê het. Nel, wat in November gaan trou, het R9 000 aan Viljoen betaal om haar droom trourok te ontwerp. Al wat sy nou het om daarvoor te wys, is die materiaal, wat sy met ‘n groot gesukkel uit Viljoen gekry het. Nel vertel dat sy Viljoen al in Julie betaal het, en sedertdien nooit weer iets van hom gehoor het nie.

Uit pure radeloosheid het Nel later haar vriendin gevra om Viljoen te

gaan sien, onder die voorwendsel dat sy ook ‘n rok gemaak wil hê vir haar troue. Nadat hulle vir Viljoen gekonfronteer het, het hy hulle vertel dat hy wag vir materiaal wat hy by sy verskaffers bestel het. Intussen het die tyd genadeloos bly aanstap en Nel se verloofde, Bernardino de Faria, het later spesiaal van Engeland gekom om ook vuur onder Viljoen te maak.

Steeds geen rok nie. Met die troue so te sê om die draai en Nel wat nog haar finale onderwys-eksamens moet aflê by die Noordwes Universiteit, het die paartjie besluit om hulle op die howe te beroep. Nel het reeds ‘n prokureur aangestel om haar geld te probeer invorder. Dit was nadat sy verlede week van Mariska Kruger in die Zoutpansberger gelees het dat sy besluit het om ook ‘n klag te lê.

Dit was naelbyt, maar haar rok was betyds.

Mariska Kruger, oor wie die Zoutpansberger verlede berig het, se matriekafskeidsrok het verlede Woensdag, twee dae voor die groot aand, in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) aangekom. Hoewel die tyd maar bra min was, was daar darem nog die hele Donderdag om nuwe bykom-stighede te gaan soek.

Sy het pragtig gelyk in ‘n lila-pers skepping.

Mariska het na afloop van haar matriekafskeid groot waardering gehad vir Olivia Seaba van Pre-cious Bridal Boutique, wat haar nuwe rok bestel het en gesorg het dat dit betyds was. Mariska en ma Adri Kruger het ook die gemeenskap bedank vir al hul ondersteuning.

“Ons was oorval met oproepe, SMS’e en besoeke van mense wat aangebied het om Mariska te help,” het Adri vandeesweek vertel.

Mariska se ma, Adri, het besluit om Viljoen aan te kla nadat hy versuim het om Mariska se rok vir haar matriekafskeid klaar te maak. Hy het ook nie hulle deposito van R3 500 terugbetaal nie. Vijoen is op R300 borg vrygelaat en sal weer op 16 Oktober in die hof op Makhado (Louis Trichardt) verskyn.

Na verlede week se berig het daar ook nog mense van Tzaneen, Lephalale en Phalaborwa na vore gekom om te kla oor Chillypea Bridal Couture se swak diens.

Nog drie bruide van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het ook na vore gekom en vertel van hul wedervar-inge. Deposito’s van tot R7 000 is betaal.

Die organiseerders van die geestelik-opbouende en gesellige Rotsfees wat van 21 tot 23 September by Grootklip, sowat 20 km wes van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) aangebied is, bedank graag die Grobler-familie en al die borge wat die fees moontlik gemaak het. Tydens een van die byeenkomste kan Andrew Baird Bezuidenhout van Baird Ministries (voor links) gesien word en derde v a n l i n k s , B e t s i e Joubert van Comfort Prophetic Ministry. Nog sprekers is Joy van Eeden van Hope Ministries (tweede van regs) en Hilda Ndluvu van Moment of Truth Prophetic Ministries (heel regs). Foto verskaf.

Mariska Kruger en haar metgesel kom aan by die matriekafskeid van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt verlede Vrydag. Inlas: Olivia Seaba, wat ingespring het en gesorg het dat Mariska se rok betyds afgelewer is vir die groot aand.

“Jou testament is een van die belangrikste do-kumente in jou lewe. Dit is dié dokument wat sal verseker dat aan jou wense voldoen sal word na jou dood,” sê Willem Barnard, besigheidbes-tuurder by Sanlam Limpopo.

Die belangrikste is dat jou testament 'n praktiese dokument moet wees, wat maklik is om te verstaan en maklik is om uit te voer. Sanlam Trust gee ‘n paar nuttige wenke om in gedagte te hou as dit kom by die saamstel van ‘n goeie testament:

* Indien jy jou bates aan jou gade en kinders wil nalaat, is dit nie 'n goeie plan om dit alles gelykop tussen hulle te verdeel nie – behalwe as jou hele boedel uit kontant bestaan. Om 'n woonhuis in beide die gade en al die kinders se name te laat oordra, kan net later tot praktiese probleme en familietwis aanleiding gee, veral as die kinders

in die huwelik tree. Om 'n motor in vier mense se naam oor te dra, is nie prakties nie.

* Dit is ook nie raadsaam om begrafnisreëlings by 'n testament in te sluit nie. Bespreek dit eerder vooraf met jou familie. Die rede hiervoor is omdat die inhoud van die testament gewoonlik eers ná die begrafnis bekend gemaak word.

* Indien jy minderjarige kinders het, is dit raad-saam om ‘n voog vir hulle aan te stel. As jy geskei is en onderhoud betaal, moet jy dié verpligting aan jou gewese gade en kinders ook in gedagte hou.

* Onthou om dit duidelik te maak wie die ekseku-teur is. Dit sal sy werk wees om jou boedel volgens die bepalings van jou testament te administreer en om na die beste belange van jou erfgename om te sien – nie ‘n ligte takie nie. Dikwels word ‘n gade aangewys, wat dalk nie oor die nodige kennis be-skik om ‘n boedel effektief te bestuur nie. Deur 'n betroubare maatskappy as eksekuteur te benoem, sal jy bevoordeel word deur die gespesialiseerde kennis van testamente, boedels, trusts en verwante sake.

Barnard beveel ook aan dat ‘n testament gereeld hersien word, om seker te maak dat die inhoud steeds aan jou wense voldoen. Dinge soos die ge-boorte van ‘n kind, die koop of verkoop van groot bates, die dood van ‘n familielid of erfgenaam en verandering in wetgewing kan alles ‘n invloed hê op ‘n testament. “'n Trust-maatskappy het die ervaring en kundigheid om elke individu se un-ieke omstandighede te ontleed en 'n omvattende reeks van dienste aan te bied wat gemoedsrus sal verseker,” sê Barnard.

Moenie kanse vat met jou testament nie

How’s my driving? A number of people on the scene of this accident that occurred last Friday afternoon may have wondered about the abilities of the driver of this bakkie. From eyewitness accounts at the scene, it appears that the driver of the bakkie, coming along Eland Street in Makhado (LTT), skipped the stop sign and crashed into a vehicle coming down Bauhinia Street. The bakkie ended up crashing into the wall of a residence. Very ironically, the bakkie had a big sign at the back, asking people to report bad driving on the part of the driver. Whether anyone actually bothered to phone the number remains uncertain.

Christen berader André Fou-rie het aan diegene wat die depressie ondersteuningsgroep bygewoon het, vertel dat baie beroemdes in die verlede en hede aan depressie gely het en nog ly. Die lys wissel van voor-malige staatsleiers, soos Win-ston Churchill en Abraham Lincoln, die kerkhervormer Martin Luther, skrywers Hans Christian Anderson en Agatha Christie, kunstenaars soos Michael Angelo en Vincent van Gogh, die komponis Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart tot prinses Diana en die hedendaagse An-gelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Brooke Shields, Britney Spears en Oprah Winfrey.

“Die belangrikste simptome van depressie is ’n depressiewe of geïrriteerde bui in groot-mense of in kinders, daaglikse verminderde belangstelling of plesier in meeste aktiwiteite, slaaploosheid of oormatige slaap,

energieverlies, ‘n gevoel van waardeloosheid, nie-toepaslike skuldgevoelens, verminderde konsentrasie en herhaaldelike gedagtes oor die dood,” het Fou-rie tydens die vergadering wat op 10 September in die kerksaal van die NG Kerk Soutpansberg aangebied is, gesê.

Fourie het ook die mens se drie verskillende dimensies, gees siel en liggaam, verduidelik. “Die siel word weer onderverdeel in die verstand, gevoel en wil. In ‘n sielkundige gesonde (mentally healthy) persoon, moet verstand, gevoel en wil sover moontlik as ‘n eenheid saamwerk. Terselfder-tyd moet die oorhoofse gees en siel en liggaam ook sover moont-lik as ‘n eenheid saamwerk,” het Fourie gesê.

Ten slotte het Fourie verwys na Viktor Frankl (1905 -1997), wat die boek “Man’s search for meaning” geskryf het. Na sy ervaring in ‘n Joodse konsen-

trasiekamp tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog, het Frankl klem gelê daarop dat, sodra ‘n mens sy sin en betekenis in die lewe verloor het, depressie en self-moord baie keer die gevolg is. “By depressie moet altyd gekyk word na wat vir die mens sin en betekenis gee of as verlies ervaar word,” het Fourie gesê.

Die feit dat die bywoning van die groep gegroei het na 35 lede tydens die Septembervergade-ring, dui daarop dat meer mense inligting oor die belangrike onderwerp van depressie wil bekom. Die stigtingsvergadering is in Augustus gehou nadat mnr. Ben Smith die ondersteunings-groep geïnisieer het.

‘n Behoefte is uitgespreek om die sprekers se bydraes in CD-vorm te kry. “Die moont-likheid om in die toekoms aan hierdie behoefte te voldoen, word ondersoek,” het me. Hester Beukes gesê.

Talle beroemdes ly ook aan depressie

Drikus Lee, die anker van die Thompson´s Motors-toutrekspan het bietjie ekstra spierkrag ingeroep tydens die Kuifkopfees se troutrekkompetisie die afgelope Saterdag.

Lucas Vermeulen swaai die braaitang by die Rotariërs se boereworsrolstalletjie tydens die naweek se Kuifkopfees wat by die Cloud´s End Hotel gehou is. Daar het ń feestelike kuier-atmosfeer geheers tydens Saterdag se verrigtinge.

Die sweet het behoorlik gerol tydens die Kuifkopfees se toutrekkompetisie. Die Midas-span het hierdie jaar die trofee voor die neuse van die verdedigende span, GM Motors, weggeraap.

Die plaaslike span van Cansa op Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het reggestaan met die verfblikke en gesorg vir kleurvolle kuiwe by vanjaar se Kuifkopfees by die Cloud´s End Hotel. Selfs die voorsitter van Cansa, mnr. Dirk Meissenheimer (foto), het met ń kleurryke kuif gespog.

Vir die jongspan was daar Saterdag oorgenoeg pret op die springkastele. Die geleentheid was die jaarlikse Kuifkopfees by die Cloud´s End Hotel.

Toneelgroep weer oppad na AardklopDie toneelgroep van Hoër-skool Louis Trichardt is ge-kies om hierdie week by die Clover Aardklop Nasionale Kunstefees in Potchefstroom op te tree.

Dit volg nadat die groep as die Gauteng streekswenners van die ATKV tienertoneel aangewys is. Hul toneelstuk, Atlas, is geskryf deur oud-Trie-gie Nico Scheepers, wat ver-antwoordelik was vir die teks, regie, musiek, choreografie en beligting. Hulle is vir die derde agtereenvolgende jaar gekroon as streekswenners.

Die groep het Maandag-oggend (1ste) met die skoolbus

vertrek. Dit was ook een van die hoofspelers, Anton Pretorius, se verjaarsdag. Dit is die eerste keer dat Anton saamgaan na Aardklop. “Dit gaan vir my ‘n nuwe ervaring wees. Ek is opge-wonde daaroor om teen ander skole van oor die land deel te neem. Ek is nie meer so gestress nie, want ek weet my vriende sal altyd iets snaaks aanvang om my te kalmeer,” sê Anton. Dit is goue medaljewenner Larissa Venter se derde en laaste keer om saam met die toneelgroep Aardklop toe te gaan. “Ek weet dit gaan absoluut fabulous wees, maar ek is ook maar ‘n bietjie emosioneel omdat dit my laaste

keer is,” sê Larissa.Die Triegie toneelgroep is

een van slegs 10 skole landswyd wat genooi is om aan vanjaar se kunstefees deel te neem. Die kompetisie is straf en die ander deelnemende skole is Hoër Meisieskool Bloemhof, en Hoërskole Eldoraigne, Cradock, Zwartkop, Vredendal, West-valia, Upington, Brackenfell en Parel Vallei van Somerset Wes.

Die afgelope twee jaar het Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se toneelgroep stof in al die skole se oë geskop deur met die wisseltrofee en prysgeld weg te stap.

Die toneelgroep van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het Maadagoggend (1ste) vertrek na die Clover Aardklop Nasionale Kunstefees in Potchefstroom. Voor, van links na regs, is Medupi Ramaboea, Mashudu Demanam, André du Preez en Duncan Moodie. Agter is me. Nellie Wolmarans, NJ Prinsloo, Gerda Leonard, Ndivho Makhwanya, Anton Pretorius, mnr. Nico Scheepers, Louwtjie Venter, Gideon Scheepers, Larissa Venter en Didi Moshapo. Arno Venter en Richman Mphepu was afwesig tydens die neem van die foto.

NJ Prinsloo (links) en Angelique Viviers lyk mooi in hul blou uitrustings by die helderoranje Plymouth waarmee hulle op 28 September na die matriekafskeid gekom het. Albei is matrieks by Louis Trichardt Hoërskool.

Nie al die paartjies wat by Vrydagaand se matriekafskeid van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt opgemerk is, het opgedaag met groot, kragtige motors nie. Elrie Bekker en Aninka Janse van Rensburg se keuse was hierdie Messerschmitt KR200 wat in 1960 gemaak is. Die motor het duidelik genoeg plek vir die twee van hulle gehad en die 200cc motor was vinnig genoeg om hulle betyds by die skool te kry vir die groot aand se verrigtinge.

Tiaan Uys, ‘n Graad 12-leerder van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, en sy elegante metgesel, Monique Dique, het die koppe behoorlik laat draai toe hulle met ‘n helikopter by die matriekafskeid op 28 September opgedaag het.

Treffend in bruin met ‘n vlamontwerp is Melanie Buys (regs) met Angus Phillips aan haar sy. Albei is Graad 12-leerders van Louis Trichardt Hoërskool. Hier staan hulle op die loopplank by hul aankoms by die matriekafskeid op 28 September.

Opvallend en pragtig in groen, is Quinette Dreyer (links) en Armand Kruger, albei van Louis Trichardt Hoërskool. Die geleentheid was die skool se matriekafskeid op 28 September.

of [email protected] Weg, die Waarheid en die LeweIn Hebreërs 13-14 word ons in vier op-

sigte geleer om liefde te bewys.Die eerste is broederliefde. Vers 1: “As

broers moet julle mekaar altyd liefhê.” Wie in God se lig wandel, leef in die lig van liefde en het mede-gelowiges lief. Dit is ‘n groot behoefte van Christus se kerk in hierdie dae. Daarom het Chris-tus in Joh. 13:34-35 gesê Hy gee ons ‘n nuwe gebod om mekaar lief te hê soos Hy ons liefhet en dat die wêreld daardeur sal weet dat ons Sy dissipels is.

In die tweede plek word ons in vers 2 geleer ons liefde moet prakties wees deur gasvryheid te beoefen. Lees 1 Joh. 3:18 en Gal. 5:6. Gasvryheid eis dikwels opoffering. Die geestelike seën van gas-vryheid is dat daar meer ontvang word as wat ‘n mens besef. Vers 2 sê sommige mense het, sonder dat hulle geweet het, engele gehuisves. Die Here Jesus het ook in Matt. 10:40 gesê: “Wie julle ontvang, ontvang My.”

In die derde opsig word ons mede-lydende liefde geleer in vers 3. Bid vir gevangenis en bid vir hulle wat ly as gevolg van hulle geloof asof jy self in hulle omstandighede is.

Laastens leer vers 4 ons van liefde in die huwelik. Daar is ‘n onheilige, vlees-like wellus wat beskou word as liefde, maar wat lei tot ontug en egbreuk. Die verlossing van Jesus het ook die huwelik geheilig en in ere herstel. Deur Jesus as Middelaar word die wet op ons harte geskrywe, en die wet is in een woord - liefde.

Thanks for the feedback. It is a prob-lem that we encounter in terms that we have different editorial teams on the two newspapers. (Zout-pansberger and Limpopo Mirror)

COMMENTS / KOMMENTAAR

The one newspaper has a strong vernacular bias, with probably 60% of the articles being in Afrikaans. This refl ects the demographics of the target market. On the website the different languages do create a challenge, because a large number of our online readers do not under-stand Afrikaans. We also have the problem in that a large number of the comments and feedback that we receive from the web, is in TshiVen-da. Some readers have complained that they would like to follow these conversations. We are, unfortu-nately, too small a company to be able to offer a translation services. Where possible we try and present the articles that are relevant to the biggest audience in English. In this case we’ll try and do a follow-up in English. - Editor

I made an invite to FB. To tell you the honest fact, all my friends are now viewing this newspaper. We are supporting you guys. I understand Afrikaans, but my fellow friends, the born free, cannot understand it, even though they need to know this taal.Baie dankie julle. - Duvha Booi Ramovha

Dankie vir sulke skitterende diens

To worship ineptitude is insulting

Normally, I am not prone to voic-ing my views on public forums

such as this newspaper. I am of the opinion that people who do, know that they are preaching to the converted and do it only for the resulting pat on the back. This week, however, I have been forced to exactly such action.

The catalyst for my reaching for my keyboard this week, I am ashamed to say, is the advertisement for the name-change money-burning ceremony of last week. Now, I must admit (at the risk of being burned at the stake) that I am not fanatically opposed to changing the name of the town. Frankly, I couldn’t care what they call it, as long as I can pronounce the name. I think the motivation for changing town names is, however, childish and wasteful, and has nothing to do with building unity in the nation and everything to do with vengefulness; however, I digress.

What did get me going though was the wording of the party invita-tion and especially the reference of our dear deluded mayor to himself as “His Worship”! Now, Sunshine, if you want people to start worship-ping you, they can hardly base their veneration on your public service performance. This would be akin to worshipping Robber Mogabe for his social conscience.

This then brings me neatly to the problem we have with political fi g-ures in general in our area, as well as the rest of the country. Twenty years ago, the mayor was merely a town clerk. A public servant whose job it was to make sure that the drains were not clogged and that our garbage got removed without our knowing it. Now, however, it has been elevated to the level of godliness. Not being a particularly religious person myself, I cannot claim to be offended on a theologi-cal level; however, to expect me to “worship” ineptitude is insulting to my intelligence.

Public political fi gures in South Africa see themselves as gods and, as a result, they also think that they are above the common and national law. We should not be in the habit of promoting such delusions in public servants. It is embarrassing for us as a community and a country. Can we not at least have someone check this kind of thing before it is made public and we get stuck with the egg on our face? Any intelligent person reading that invitation would be of the opinion that somewhere there is defi nitely an organ grinder with a major part of his act missing, possi-bly performing solo at a local event!

Ruling party quick to approve funds for parties, but not for services

The Congress of the People (COPE) in Vhembe welcomes

the name change of Louis Trichardt town to Makhado. This has been long overdue. As we sit and witness the events and ceremony organized for the name change, very worrying issues comes into the picture. Yes, we can change the name of the town, but the big question is after we have changed the name, do we uphold the image of the town as a sign of honour and integrity, or do we continue to reduce the standard of the town to a peri-urban town?

The government of the day has a responsibility to manage the public funds in a productive manner as well as a further responsibility of giving essential services to the peo-ple of the newly named Makhado Town and the surrounding town-ships and villages.

As COPE we are not in support of the way in which the Makhado Municipality is making its priorities. How can the municipality spend huge amounts of money on parties

and celebrations, while they are failing to make funds available for essential service equipment? People need water, good roads, electric-ity and graded soccer fi elds for our youth, not parties that are being held one after another.

COPE has discovered that the ruling party acts very fast when it comes to approving funds for a celebratory party and acts very slowly or does nothing at all when it comes to issues of service delivery. For the celebration of the name change, the municipality hired nine catering companies. People ate, drank and danced, but thereafter the same people will be going back to their homes driving on very bad and dilapidated roads. They arrive home and fail to bath because there is no water.

The municipality must start to employ the funds of Makhado on issues that matter the most.

- Cllr Tshibvumo GeoffreyCope Vhembe Regional Chair-

En soos die “bloumaandagnood-lot” dit toe wou hê, breek my

betroubare voertuig in die middel van die pad, oppad na ‘n belangrike afspraak.

Wat nou? Wie sal ek bel wat my vinnig kan help? Agter op my bakkie is ‘n sticker “Blessed by MellyNun”. Ek bel vir Melodey en binne 10 minute is sy en haar span daar om my bakkie in te sleep.

Sy neem my om die regte onder-

dele te koop en werk persoonlik tot halfsewe die aand om dit in te sit. Geen geld in die wêreld kan sulke vriendelike, fl inke diens vergoed nie.

Baie dankie aan Melodey en haar span van MellyNun AutoBody & Customs vir julle onbaatsugtige diens en hulpvaardigheid.

NAC appreciates last minute help

Dit wil vir my voorkom dat hier in die dorp mense is wat oor alles

negatief is.Dit is werklik hartseer dat daar

ALWEER stories rondloop dat Triegies se rugbyspelers allerhande onwettige middels sou gebruik. Dit is in reaksie op die feit dat die span so uitstekend gevaar het in die afgelope Bosveld Kia-reeks. Die span het goed gevaar om een rede en dit is doodgewone harde en harde oefening.

As die skool se spanne nie goed vaar nie dan is dit swak afrigting; as die spanne goed vaar dan moet dit mos iets onwettigs wees wat hulle help.

Ons as afrigters by Triegies staan alle onwettighede in sport teen - veral in rugby. Die persoon wat die stories as die waarheid versprei, moet dit asseblief dadelik stop. Jy is op soek na groot moeilikheid.

As jy oor enige bewyse beskik is jy meer as welkom om my te kon-tak. Of beter nog, kom oefeninge toe en kom neem daaraan deel, dan sal jy minder tyd spandeer aan snert praat.

Dit is tyd dat die dorp ‘n slag wakker word en ONS skool waar-deer.

- Coenie de Lange (Makhado - Louis Trichardt)

The Makhado Poop scoop

Rioolwater spoel vanaf die hoofl yn op die sypaadjie na die perseel van PW en Annetjie du Toit van Bredastraat op Makhado (Louis Trichardt). “Dit is nou al vir agt jaar dat die probleem voortduur,” sê mev. Du Toit. Telkens wanneer daar ń verstopping in die hoofl yn is, stroom die rioolwater die perseel binne. Dié foto is Dinsdagmiddag geneem, nadat die probleem volgens mev. du Toit Maandag weer vir die soveelste keer aangemeld is.

A s@#t hole by any other name would still smell as bad

By Frans van der Merwe

“We can’t eat anymore, because it stinks”“We can’t even eat anymore because of the stench,” says Mr Thomas Dlamini, the person in charge of the Salvation Army’s offi ce in Bauhinia Street, Ma-khado (Louis Trichardt).

The stench comes from a per-manent stream of sewage water which has already created a patch of lush vegetation on the pave-ment just outside his premises.

“It will affect our health. For the past three months, my neighbours and I have repeatedly reported this serious sewage leakage, with stinking water streaming from the pavement. Once I was promised that they were coming to repair and stop it. They never did. Several other efforts just got lost in an endless and expensive sequence of fruitless call trans-

fers. One dedicated line for fault reports should be available at the municipality. They are supposed to help us,” said the desperate Mr Dlamini. Lower down in Bauhinia Street there are several signs of other recent major spills. Early this week, residents at one house were trying to mop up the stinking mess by hosing the sew-age off their driveway.

“ ... a rose by any other name would smell as sweet ...” This wel l-known phrase from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet may very fittingly be adapted to read “Our town by any other name would smell as bad ...”

Makhado, formerly known as Louis Trichardt, currently smells like a sewerage farm. In certain areas, the stench is so bad that residents prefer to stay away from home. Even businesses are affected and some complain that they have lost a large number of clients who are simply not prepared to visit because of the smell.

All over town and in the in-dustrial area, sewage spillages could be seen over the past week. Some of these have literally been continuing for years, causing lush vegetation to grow around these sewage “swamps”. Adjacent to town, the residents of Tshikota have also been affected, with the sewage fl owing through several streets.

With the help of residents, archive articles and the Sout-pansberg Ratepayers Association

(SRPA), the Zoutpansberger was able to identify a few of the bigger sewage swamps over the past two weeks. These were documented on a map of the town (see map).

The biggest reason for con-cern, however, is the indigenous tree park, or so-called Green Belt, that stretches along the N1 and borders on Stubbs and River Street.

Almost in the middle of the tree park, a river of sewerage has formed. This is only a stone’s throw away from a newly drilled municipal water borehole in President Street.

A couple of metres from this borehole, the sewage overfl ows next to Smart Fitness Gym. This has had a particularly negative ef-fect on clients, especially because the overfl ow peaks in the morn-ings and evenings, the busiest times for the gym.

“People around here don’t even smell it anymore,” says gym owner Mr Sean Brennan. The re-ality is that the stench affects the whole area. Lately, one cannot even drive down Stubbs Street with open windows because the

smell is so bad.A quick overview of reported

sewage spills paints a very dark, smelly picture.

Photos from 2007 have been compared with the present-day situation and although some improvements can be seen, they remain few and far between. Some of the sewerage pumps that were reported broken seem to be up and running again. This was evident during on-site vis-its a fortnight ago. During this impromptu inspection, a lot of new sewerage spillages were also spotted.

The Makhado Municipality was asked about the state of the town’s sewage system. Their response was a vague one. By Tuesday, Mr Peter Muthambi from the Makhado Municipal-ity had answered on behalf of the municipal spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, and said that the “identifi ed areas have been at-tended to by municipal teams.”

The newspaper visited Smart Fitness Gym shortly after speak-ing to Muthambi.

No municipal teams were spotted.

Tshikota residents might as well be living in a sewage plant.

Hosing down a sewage spill in Bauhinia Street

Once upon a time there used to be streets in the industrial area of Makhado (Louis Trichardt). These have been replaced by streams and rivers of raw sewage. About two years ago, the Makhado Beer Distributors depot was forced to grade a new access road to their factory. The access road, south of the depot via Industria Street and around the corner of the pump station, is constantly covered with sewage.

An athlete from the dusty vil-lage of Muledane, Tshifhiwa Mundalamo (31), shocked the athletics fraternity when she won the City to City ultra-marathon (50km) from Jo-hannesburg to Centurion on Sunday.

Mundalamo won the woman's race in a time of 3:28:21, se-curing her first ultra-distance

Winner of the City to City ultramarathon Tshifhiwa Mundalamo.

victory. Mundalamo held off Charné Bosman by a little over a minute in a close contest for the women's title. Bosman was second in 3:29:31, and defend-ing champion Lizih Chikore from Zimbabwe finished third in 3:31:58.

Mundalamo's gold medal per-formance has crowned what can only be described as a meteoric rise to fame. Her running career started on the dusty roads and sports fields of a rural village in Muledane in 1992, where residents took her ability very much for granted, even after she had won the Land of Legend marathon in 1998/9.

“I'm happy to win my first ultra-marathon,” Mundalamo said. “It was a tough race for me, but everything went as planned." Mundalamo went to Sam Mavhina High school. She appealed to other athletes who want to achieve their goals to put everything in God's hands. She thanked all her supporters and

said that the medal was a medal for the whole of Limpopo, not Vhembe only.

In an interview with her proud mother, Ms Phophi Mundalamo, she said that she used to motivate her children to participate in sports. She urged other parents to motivate their young ones to do the same.

The Thulamela Municipal-ity's manager of sport, arts and culture, Mr Ronald Makhadi, stated: “Tshifhiwa belongs to us, before she belongs to the Limpopo Province and the rest of South Africa. She put Vhembe on the world map." Makhadi said that the youth must stand up and unleash their talent. He said that Tshifhiwa's achievement should be inspirational to all other young people, especially those in rural areas. “This achieve-ment makes a simple statement that Vhembe or Limpopo, like other provinces, has talent that can compete anywhere in the world,” he said.

Dorothy "Dot" van der Westhuizen.

Antoinette Victor en Dorothy van der Westhuizen, twee gholfspelers van Makhado (Louis Trichardt), sal die Soutpansberg Gholfklub tydens die Sanlam Kanker Uitdaagreeks later dié maand verteenwoordig.

Hulle is gekies na talle klubkom-petisies en moordende streekeind-rondtes om die provinsie te gaan verteenwoordig saam met Tanya Motk, Koro Creek, Francois van Staden, Carl Buitendag en William Tolmay. Van die nagenoeg 800

klubkompetisies wat sedert Februarie beslis is, kon nie een klub daarin slaag om vanjaar drie verteenwoordigers vir die eindrondte op te lewer nie, maar daar was heelwat wat twee spelers opgelewer het.

Die doel van die Sanlam-toernooi is om geld in te samel vir kankerna-vorsing. Hierdie jaar is die mikpunt R3 miljoen.

Antoinette en Dorothy, of Dot soos sy alombekend staan, sal op 22 en 23 Oktober by Sun City in aksie wees.

Dié groepie skuts was wenners in die Soutpansberg Skietklub se jaarlikse .303-skietkompetisie wat op Saterdag, 22 September, gehou is. Voor, van links na regs, is Ronnie Levine (1ste .303-opties) en Ampie du Toit (1ste jaggeweer en .303-yster). Agter is TS Nefdt (2de .303-yster), Wilhelm Smit (2de jaggeweer), Theo Goosen (3de jaggeweer), Hannelie Goosen (2de .303-opties) en Michael Rademeyer (3de .303-opties). Die klub het hul waardering uitgespreek vir diegene wat die kompetisie ondersteun het. Foto verskaf.

Daniél Coetzee van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt verbeter die rekord in die vryslag vir seuns O/16. Die geleentheid was die skool se interhuis-swemgala wat op 26 September in die swembad van Laerskool Soutpansberg gehou is. Foto verskaf.

Swemseisoen beginDie swemseisoen het in alle erns begin en swemmers het hul staal gewys tydens die eerste swemgala, die interhuis-swembyeenkoms van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt. “Die swemmers het die gala baie geniet en ons kon ook weer nuwe talent ontdek,” sê swemorganiseerder me. Ilze Coetzee.

Amorien Venter (DO/15) verbeter die borssla-grekord, terwyl Z. (Wors) Mulaudzi die vlinders-lagrekord in die seuns O/15 ouderdomsgroep verbeter. Daniél Coetzee, sterk O/16-swemmer, laat die seuns se vryslag- sowel as borsslagrekord spat.

Die hoërskoolswemmers oefen elke middag om 17 :00 by die swembad van Laerskool Soutpans-berg, asook Maandae en Woensdae om 13:45. “Ons nooi alle swemmers uit om saam te kom oefen. Ons wil ook ‘n beroep doen op Graad 6 en 7 swemmers om saam te kom oefen. Al is jy nog in die laerskool, wil ons jou graag daar hê, sodat jy voorberei om swem as ‘n sport in die hoërskool te beoefen,” sê Coetzee. Laerskoolswemmers van Graad 6 en
