skool laat weet dat daar ernstig fout is met Luan se asemhaling en dat sy naeltjies en lippies begin blou word. “Ons het Prognos geskakel en die dame daar het gesê ons moet Luan onmiddellik bring,” het Lizelle gesê. Daar aangekom, onthou Lizelle, het plaaslike dokter Anton Stroebel Luan een kyk gegee en onmiddellik gereël dat hy in die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal opgeneem word. Hier het personeel dadelik Luan op ‘n drip en suurstof geplaas om te help met sy asemhaling. Luan het oornag in die hospitaal gebly, maar teen vroeg Dinsdagoggend was dit duidelik dat hy geen beterskap toon nie. “Dr. Stroebel het vir ons gesê dat Luan eintlik in ‘n intensiewe-sorgeenheid hoort,” het Lizelle gesê. Omdat Chané en pa Robert geen mediese fonds het nie, is daar eers probeer om Luan in ‘n goeie staatshospitaal opgeneem te kry. “Ons
het eers probeer dat Luan opgeneem kan word in die Pietersburg Provinsiale Hospitaal, wat ‘n baie goeie pediatriese eenheid het. Hulle kon ons egter nie help nie. Ons het toe die Mankweng staatshospitaal probeer, maar hulle het ook nie plek vir hom gehad nie,” het Lizelle gesê. Almal het in daardie stadium besef dat Luan se enigste kans op herstel sou wees as hy opgeneem word in die Tzaneen MediKliniek. Lizelle en haar man, Hennie, het toe begin kwotasies kry by die MediKliniek in Tzaneen. Daar was astronomiese bedrae wat sommer vooraf betaal moes word. “Net nadat ons met die hospitaal gepraat het, het ek en Hennie tot die Here gebid vir uitkoms, want Hy weet wat ook in ons begroting aangaan,” het Lizelle vertel.

Former Makhado mayor passes away By Kaizer Nengovhela The news of the death of a former Makhado mayor came as quite a shock to many residents of the region. Cllr David Mutavhatsindi (48) died after a short illness on Saturday night at his home in Vuwani. According to the family spokesperson, Mr Victor Phalanndwa, the untimely death of the former mayor did not only shock the ANC, but also his family, relatives and even people from outside of the country. “We have received many messages of condolences from abroad, and as a bereaved family it shows us that Mutavhatsindi was a people’s person and accommodating to everyone, irrespective of colour, race or religion,” he said. He described Mutavhatsindi as a pillar within the family and the community as a whole. “He played the central role in unifying his relatives,”
he said. The Makhado mayor, Cllr Shonisani Sinyosi, said that Mutavhatsindi was a man of vision. “We will always remember him for his hard work, commitment and dedication,” she said. She expressed her heartfelt condolences and support to the Mutavhatsindi family. She said that Mutavhatsindi had contributed to shaping the local government system. “He was a selfless, visionary and dedicated leader of all people. He was a champion of social and economic transformation in South Africa,” she said. Vhavenda King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana also said that Mutavhatsindi had been a man of vision. “We will always remember him for his hard work, commitment and dedication,” he said. “Most of the development that occurred during the time of the Makhado Municipality era was his ideas. We have lost a charismatic, disciplined and enthusiastic leader,” he said.
Mphephu also mentioned that “Mutavhatsindi was a leader who understood that as a leader, one must transcend all boundaries and represent the hopes, interest and aspiration of all people, to realize a better life.” Vhembe Region ANC chairperson Mr Tshitereke Matibe said that Mutavhatsindi’s death came as a huge shock to him. “He still had a lot to offer the community,” he said, adding that it would be very difficult to replace him. “Mutavhatsindi was one of our comrades who understood the way in which the organisation functioned. He had vast experience and people learned a lot from him. His death is a loss to both the family and the community.” Mutavhatsindi is survived by his wife and four children. The funeral ceremony will begin at 06:00 at the house at Vuwani on Saturday and proceed to the Malonga graveyard.
Residents can expect more power outages, warns municipality By Andries van Zyl

The past week, residents of Louis Trichardt were plagued by numerous power outages. On Monday, residents experienced two extended power outages, followed by another outage on Tuesday. Municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi confirmed on Wednesday that the outages were, among others, caused when a “bus bar” at the Vorster Street substation overheated, causing a hot connection, which flashed over and destroyed the 11kV incomer panel. Monday’s outages affected
the entire town west of the N1 and had to be restored twice. As for Tuesday’s outage, Bobodi explained that they had to work on a faulty 11Kv switch in Extension 2 that leaked insulating oil, causing a trip. “We had to repair the switch and replace the oil to get the feeder ready to be used from the Roodewal substation,” said Bobodi. Asked whether residents of Louis Trichardt could expect more such outages in the coming days, Bobodi said yes. “We are in the process of refurbishing the Stubbs Street sub and the rest of the town must be fed from all other available substations. In order
to do so, all the cables and switches available to us must be operational. The urban network will be unstable until the Stubbs Street sub has been refurbished and put back into service. This will be at least a week’s job,” said Bobodi. He added that the work entailed replacing all the morethan-30-year-old switchgear with new high-tech switches, as no spares were available for the older switches anymore. “Therefore, the town will experience some outages in the next coming weeks. By feeding from other available substations, we shall try and limit the outages to a minimum to let all customers have power,” Bobodi said.
Moederhart bly ná seun weer self kan eet en glimlag (Vervolg van p. 1) Later die dag het ‘n vriend van Hennie, verbonde aan die ER24 ambulansdiens in Polokwane, geskakel en gesê hy het gehoor van Luan. Die vriend het aangebied om teen ‘n fraksie van die koste vanaf Polokwane na Louis Trichardt te ry en Luan per ambulans deur te jaag na die Tzaneen MediKliniek. Hennie-hulle het die aanbod aanvaar en Luan is laat Dinsdagmiddag deurgejaag na die MediKliniek in Tzaneen. Daar aangekom, is hy dadelik in die intensiewe-sorgeenheid opgeneem en Woensdag­oggend is Luan op ‘n ventilator geplaas om hom te help om asem te haal. Daardie Woensdagaand was Hennie ‘n bekommerde man, nadat die hospitaal voorlopige rekeninge aan hom begin stuur het. Hennie het gesê hy het nog so na sy rekenaar gesit en kyk en wonder hoe hulle die rekeninge gaan betaal, toe sy selfoon lui. Dit was Rudi Meissenheimer van Tafelrondte Zoutpansberg 66. Hy het vroeër vir Hennie geskakel en gevra hoe hulle kan help. Hy het net teruggeskakel om vir Hennie te sê dat hulle vergader het en dat Tafelrondte 66 besluit het om R30 000 by die hospitaal in te betaal. “Hennie het met trane in sy
oë gesit,” het Lizelle gesê. Wat daarna gebeur het, beskryf Lizelle net as ‘n wonderwerk. Buiten die R30 000 wat die Tafelaars Donderdagoggend inbetaal het, het Luan se verhaal soos ‘n veldbrand op sosiale media versprei. “Jy sal nie glo nie, vanaf Woensdagoggend tot Vrydag het weldoeners sowat R98 000 by die hospitaal vir klein Luan inbetaal,” het Lizelle gesê. Intussen het Luan tekens van beterskap getoon. Vrydagoggend het hy sy ogies begin oopmaak, maar sy toestand was steeds kritiek. “Saterdag het hy egter weer ‘n terugslag beleef. Selfs die dokters was bekommerd en ma Chané was in trane,” het Lizelle gesê. Hennie-hulle het die volgende dag deurgery en vir Chané en Luan-hulle gaan kuier. “Hy het baie beter asemgehaal, maar ons kon sien hy is nog kritiek,” het Lizelle gesê. Teen Maandag het Luan se toestand dramaties verbeter, veral omdat medici ná ‘n string toetse die oorsaak van sy longinfeksie kon identifiseer en dit begin behandel het. Dinsdag het Luan se toestand tot so ‘n mate verbeter dat hy van die ventilator afgehaal kon word en op sy eie kon asemhaal. “Daardie ma en pa het deur diep waters gegaan.
Ma Chané was ‘n hele paar keer in trane. Ek kan nie dink hoe hulle dit hanteer het nie. Ek sou mal geraak het as dit my kind was,” het Lizelle gesê. Sy was dankbaar vir die hulp wat hulle ontvang het. “Wat ‘n wonderlike getuienis. Daar is soveel mense wat gehelp het - mense wat verblyf gereël het en selfs mense wat klere geskenk het. Chané-hulle is met die klere aan hulle lyf saam met die ambulans Tzaneen toe,” het Lizelle gesê. Luan se ouers is eweneens dankbaar vir die hulp en gebede. “Baie, baie dankie Hennie en Lizelle vir alles wat julle vir ons doen. Dankie ook aan die personeel van die MediKliniek. Julle kyk mooi na ons seuntjie. Ek kan nie vir julle sê hoe bly dit ‘n ouer se hart maak om weer te sien jou kind eet en lag nie,” het Chané gesê. Te midde van die dankbaarheid oor Luan se herstel, hang die swaard van mediese rekeninge nog oor die familie se kop. Die R98 000 wat verlede week inbetaal is, was teen Maandag feitlik uitgeput. Persone wat graag die familie wil bystaan, is welkom om Rudi te skakel by tel. 082 776 8377. Die Tafelrondte het aangebied om inbetalings te help administreer.

some cases, animals are simply left behind when the owners relocate to another town. It is then usually left up to real estate agents or neighbours to notify the SPCA. In some other cases, the owner(s) struggles to maintain the health of the pet, usually as a result of financial constraints, and instead of asking for help, leaves the animal to deteriorate. The SPCA does not pass any judgement in such cases, but instead welcomes the chance to give assistance. “…no animal will ever be turned away, and any owner struggling to maintain the health of their animals are urged to contact our inspector, Lawrence Khodobo, long before the point of no return is reached,” said the SPCA. In Malakai’s case, if he had been handed over into the care of the SPCA when still in good health, he would have found a new home in no time. Following this sad case the SPCA urged the public to take better care of their animals. This is because animal abandonment in terms of the Animal Protection Act (Act 71 of 1962) is a criminal offence that could land guilty owners in serious trouble. “That is why it is important to remember that animal cruelty is not only restricted to cases involving physical harm. Animal cruelty can take many different forms and include the failure to provide appropriate or adequate food and clean water, proper treatment for disease or injury or safe and appropriate living conditions,” warned the SPCA. Furthermore, said the SPCA, persons who keep animals as pets should not allow them to breed unscrupulously. Breeding of cats and dogs should be left to reputable, registered breeders. Overpopulation is a starting point for many abuse cases. “We should all heed Malakai’s message and stop looking the other way when we witness animal cruelty; we have to be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves,” said the SPCA.
Ma wil graag ander kinders ook help Fondsinsameling Leo Botha van Louis Trichardt, wat steeds veg om sy kanker te oorwin, word binnekort drie jaar oud. Klein Leo is verlede jaar met akute limfoblastiese leukemie gediagnoseer toe hy maar net 14 maande oud was. Sedertdien ontvang Leo behandeling in die Unitas Hospitaal, waar hy en ma Cherese ge­reeld te doen kry met ander kankerlyertjies. Baie van dié jong pasiëntjies se ouers trek swaar en het dit nie breed elke maand nie. Daarom het Leo se ouers dit goedgedink om ‘n fondsinsamelingsprojek te reël, sodat hulle ander kankerlyertjies kan help met sorgpakkies (care packages). ‘n Belangrike komponent van hierdie sorgpakkies is ‘n tipe aanvullingsmelk wat spesifiek help dat kankerlyertjies nie te veel gewig verloor tydens chemoterapie nie. “Die kanker, tesame met die chemo, breek hulle klein liggaampies vreeslik af, met uiterse gewigsverlies,” het Cherese verduidelik. “Leo is geseën dat ons die aanvullingsmelkies vir hom kan kry, maar daar is ander kinders wat dit nie kan bekostig nie, en daarmee wil ons help met hierdie projek,” het Cherese gesê. Hierdie projek word in die vorm van ‘n gelukkige trekking gehou, danksy ‘n anonieme weldoener wat ‘n skenking gemaak het van bokke om uit te loot. Die eerste prys sluit in twee koedoekoeie, die tweede prys een koedoekoei en die derde prys een rooibok. Al dié bokke sal gelewer word as karkasse. Die gelukkige trekking vind plaas op Donderdag, 30 November. Vir meer inligting oor die projek, skakel Cherese by tel. 082 818 2315.

On Sunday, 12 November, the South African National Defence Force, military veterans and civilians will spend two minutes remembering those who had made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country as part of Remembrance Day. At 05:00 on Monday, 11 November, 1918, a document was signed that brought an end to the First World War. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of that year, the guns fell silent. The war that was supposed to end all wars had come to an end, but not before an estimated nine million people had lost their lives. To pay homage those who died in the war and subsequent wars, Remembrance Day is commemorated annually. The Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTHs) of Louis Trichardt will be holding their annual Remembrance Day parade

KNP encourages public to take malaria preventive measures Health As of late September 2017, the management of the Kruger National Park (KNP) have noticed an increase in the number of malaria diagnoses in the park and have therefore advise all travellers to cover themselves by taking chemoprophylaxis whilst visiting the park. “We would like to advise visitors to the park to take precautionary measures to prevent the possibility of developing malaria whilst visiting the park. Precautions which include the use of prophylaxes, vaccinations in consultation with doctors and to avoid exposing the skin whilst outside in the evenings can assist a great
deal in this regard. KNP is known to be one of the malaria-endemic areas in this country and therefore chances of catching malaria disease always exist in this area, though not often,” said Mr William Mabasa, general manager of the KNP’s communications and marketing department in a press release issued last week. To reduce the risk of malaria whilst staying in the park, visitors are further advised to use repellents on the skin, wear long-sleeve clothes if they happen to go outside of their units, keep the window gauzes and doors closed at all times and check that these are not broken, as well as to ensure that air conditioners in the chalets are fully functional. “Although malaria can be contracted at any time of the year, the malaria season
in this country is October to April, with March and April being the highest risk period. We request visitors who contract malaria after having visited the park to assist us by immediately reporting to our local doctors in Skukuza as this can assist in recording and identifying all the affected areas in need of attention,” said Mabasa. Some resident medical doctors are permanently based in Skukuza, KNP’s main camp, and the public can consult them for information and advice prior to their visit to the park on Tel +27 13 735 5638. More information on malaria can also be found on the website link https:// www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/tourism/malaria.php.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe 2 Kor. 6:17-7:1. Afsondering van die wêreld.
at is afsondering van die wêreld? Moenie deur wêreldse standaarde gelei word nie. Vra jouself gedurig: “Wat sê die Skrif?” Niks wat God sê verkeerd is, kan reg wees nie. Die gewoontes en menings van die wêreld kan nie wat God belangrik ag onbelangrik maak nie. En wat God sonde noem kan nie iets anders genoem word nie. Die argument dat almal dit doen, almal praat so, almal gaan daar wees, beteken niks. Al wat van belang is, is of dit goedgekeur of afgekeur word deur die Bybel. Al staan jy alleen, moenie teen die Woord van God gaan nie. Wees ook versigtig hoe jy jou vrye tyd bestee. Aande is gewoonlik tyd om te ontspan ná die dag se werk, en die Christen is geneig om sy wapenrusting eenkant te sit, en gevolglik veroorsaak dit probleme vir die siel. Laat ons versigtig wees hoe ons ons aande deurbring. Hoe jy jou aande deurbring, sê baie van jou karakter. Gebruik die tyd om stil te word, jou gedagtes kalm te kry vir Bybellees en gebed. Ek sê nie moet nooit televisie kyk nie, maar wees versigtig waarna jy kyk. Moenie dat werk of plesier jou van die dienste of gemeentebyeenkomste weghou nie (Heb. 10:25). Soos Daniël maak ‘n ware kind van God tyd vir gemeenskap met God, wat die koste of gevolge ookal mag wees. Om dit egter in jou lewe toe te pas, kos selfverloëning. Daarom het die Here Jesus gesê: “As iemand agter My aan wil kom, moet hy homself verloën en sy kruis elke dag opneem en My volg.” Ons kan nie op ons eie manier, soos ons goeddink, geestelik wil lewe nie (2 Kor. 5:17). Die Heilige Gees is daar om ons te lei, en Hy lei ons volgens die waarheid van God se Woord (Joh. 16:13). Stokperdjies en sport is goed vir die liggaam. Maar wanneer dit jou weghou van die Here, is dit ’n gevaar vir jou siel (Matt. 6:21). Nou kan jy dalk vra of ’n Christen dan niks mag doen nie? ’n Christen mag alles doen wat volgens God se wil is. Wat kan in elk geval beter wees as die volheid van Christus se blydskap in jou lewe te hê? (Joh. 17:13).	- 079 516 8303
“Ons het mooi herinnerings aan Phillip Olivier” Mnr. Francis van der Merwe van Louis Trichardt, skryf:
aam met die groep sorgbehoewende mense by my aan’t huis, dank ons die Here vir die welwillendheid en ruimhartige gesindheid wat ons deurentyd van Phillip Olivier beleef het.
Uit sy eie het hy ons weekliks gratis van ‘n ruim voorraad noodsaaklike kruideniersware voorsien. Dit het onder meer gehelp dat twee seuns, wat sonder dié sorg op straat sou verval het, kon terugkeer skool toe en nou besig is om voor te berei vir die finale matriekeksamen. Dit het ook versorging meegehelp vir ‘n voormalige bouwerker wat in ‘n ongeluk verlam is en nou in ‘n rolstoel by ons tuisgaan. Met meegevoel en dankbaarheid het ons mooi herinnerings aan Phillip en sy gesin.

“Thank you Bridge for great service” Leon Barnard of Louis Trichardt writes:
IDuring my recent frustrations with inexplicable n these days of poor service, I feel the need to mention an exception to the rule.
problems cropping up with my vehicle, the staff at BRIDGE MOTORS went over and above the expected effort to assist, and then solve, the issues. Rampie, Charl and the rest of your workshop staff, I want to publicly thank you for your excellence, and assure everyone out there that you can depend on these people to keep your best interests at heart. Great service, thank you! Levubu Primary School made a great effort to collect cash and food for the Louis Trichardt SPCA. They also enjoyed an outing to the Louis Trichardt SPCA’s premises on 29 September to say thank you for the society’s service to our community.
