Groot probleem met
Rondloperdiere is ‘n groot probleem in die dorp. Inwoners is diep ongelukkig en warm onder die krae oor die groot skade wat hulle lei. Duur plante word opgevreet en die tuine word platgetrap. Dis ‘n probleem wat nou al lank voorkom en die gevoel is dat dit hoogtyd is dat daar daadwerklik deur die owerhede opgetree word. Ons redaksie het die aangeleentheid met die Hoof van die Verkeersdepartement onder wie die skut resorteer, mnr Rooi, opgeneem aan wie inwoners die teenwoordigheid van rondloperdiere kan rapporteer by tel 082 8788 603. Mnr. Rooi het ons voorts na die munisipaliteit verwys en die aangeleentheid sal verder opgevolg word.
Hier kan ‘n gedeelte van die trop beeste gesien word waar hulle vroegoggend wei op ‘n parkie in die besige hoofstraat van die dorp. Dit skep ook ‘n groot gevaar vir motoriste, groot voertuie en taxis wat deur ons dorp beweeg. Kan die eienaar van die diere nie opgespoor en aangespreek word nie? Daar is mos regulasies neergelê vir dié wat wil diere aanhou.
Firearm Licences Renewals!!!!!
An instruction by the Central Firearm Registry (CFR) has been issued to all Dedicated Firearm Officers (DFO’s) at all SAPS stations that no licence to possess a firearm that has expired will be renewed. An application for a licence renewal must be submitted to the DFO not less than 90 days before expiry of the existing licence. If your contact information has been kept up to date with CFR you would have received an SMS, more than 90 days prior to the date of expiry, stating that your licence is due for renewal. Please make sure that all your contact information, cell number and e-mail, are up to date with CFR so that renewal notices can be sent to you. Here are the possibilities for a firearm owner which has a licence that has expired;
Surrender the firearm to the local SAPS station for destruction.
Have the firearm deactivated by a gunsmith.
Donate or sell the firearm to an Arms and Ammunition Dealer.
Make an agreement to transfer the firearm to an Arms and Ammunition Dealer. You then complete a SAPS 271 and apply for a new licence to possess the firearm. It is important to note that the firearm will be in the dealers stock and in his safe until the new licence has been issued. This procedure is the same as purchasing a new firearm from a dealer or another owner.
Competency certificates and applications to possess a firearm are possessed by different sections of the CFR. For this reason the concurrent submission of an application for a competency certificate and a licence to possess a firearm will not be allowed as in the past. Please make sure that you apply for your competency certificate before you apply for your first licence to possess a firearm. The same holds true for the renewal of competency certificates and licences to possess firearms, thus; apply for your renewal of competency before you apply for your renewal of licence to possess a firearm.
