Munisipaliteit begin meer druk op SBBV plaas om geld wat weerhou word op te
Raad en SBBV
haaks oor geld
Dit lyk of die Makhado Munisipaliteit en die
(SBBV) besig is om ernstig te begin koppe
stamp oor die munisipale geld wat deur die
SBBV weerhou word.
SBBV­lede betaal hulle munisipale rek­
eninge in ‘n trust in, waarna gedeeltes soos vir
die verbruik van elektrisiteit en water, aan die
munisipaliteit oorbetaal word. Dit volg nadat
die SBBV ‘n dispuut met die munisipaliteit ver­
klaar het oor swak dienslewering en probleme
met eiendomsbelasting. Ná ‘n vergadering van
rolspelers hieroor met die munisipaliteit op 27
Oktober is dit duidelik dat die munisipaliteit
nie veel langer wil wag vir die SBBV om die
trustgelde aan hulle oor te betaal nie.
Tydens die vergadering is daar besluit dat die
munisipaliteit binne sewe dae ‘n aksieplan met
teikendatums beskikbaar sou stel. Die voorsitter
van die SBBV, me. Inga Gilfillan, het ‘n doku­
ment in die verband op 14 November ontvang.
“Die munisipaliteit het intussen aan my gesê
dat hierdie dokument ‘n gedeeltelike aksieplan
is en dat ons die res daarvan hierdie week sal
ontvang,” het Gilfillan Dinsdag gesê. Die doku­
ment of “aksieplan” se eerste gedeelte het hoof­
saaklik oor die waterbeperkinge teen SBBV­
lede gehandel. Daarby aangeheg was ‘n verslag
oor die elektrisiteitsvoorsiening aan Levubu;
die werk aan vyf strate in die industriële ge­
bied en drie in Eltivillas; en die werk aan vier
rioolpompstasies. Nog ‘n aanhangsel bevat ‘n
aksieplan in verband met foute op munisipale
rekeninge, voorafbetaalde kragverkooppunte en
vakante poste by die munisipaliteit. Volgens die
munisipaliteit sal die rolspelers, insluitende die
SBBV, terreinbesoeke kan bring in die sewe
dae wat volg op die aksieplan.
“Die fondse moet deur die SBBV oorbetaal
word binne sewe dae na die terreininspeksie,”
lui die notule wat deur die munisipaliteit ná die
vergadering op 27 Oktober opgestel is.
Verder lees die notule, ‘n “memorandum van
verstandhouding moet opgestel word tussen die
Makhado Munisipaliteit en die SBBV en laas­
genoemde moet die memorandum onderteken
binne sewe dae vanaf die ontvangs daarvan.”
Gilfillan het die munisipaliteit per brief laat
weet dat, na aﬂoop van terreininspeksies om die
implementering van die aksieplan na te gaan,
daar eers terugvoer aan lede gegee sal word om
te besluit of hulle die uitvoerende komitee ‘n
mandaat kan gee om die fondse beskikbaar te
stel. Dit kan gedoen word wanneer die dispuut­
punte opgelos is. Die bedrag wat teruggehou is,
beloop tans R4.5 miljoen.
Gilfillan het ook gesê dat die memorandum
nie in hierdie stadium onderteken kan word
nie, aangesien dit gedeeltes bevat waarmee die
vereniging nie saamstem nie, soos die klousule
wat lees dat die SBBV binne 21 dae alle fondse
beskikbaar sal stel om die uitstaande rekeninge
van hulle lede te vereffen.

confirmed that one spillage prob­

“It is the duty of the munici­

that the municipality will start
paying attention to the sewage

Pakmark is situated,” Smith said.
The sewage spill there has been a
problem for more than six weeks
now, and by Monday the munici­
pality had yet to attend to it.
The attorney’s letter had to be
signed by the municipal manager,
Mr Shadrack Tshikalange, the
manager of the civil engineer­

The letter states that the mat­

as well as to the MEC for Local
Government and the Hotline of
President Jacob Zuma for fur­
ther investigation. “ ...this poor
service delivery and this health
hazard being created to the public
and the factories will not be toler­
ated any further,” states the letter.
Municipal spokesperson Mr
Louis Bobodi said on Tuesday
that the municipality “does not
have to wait for pressure groups
or measures or for people to
indulge into protest actions be­
fore they render services. It is
the municipality’s mandate to
deliver services to our people,”

Ivan se skielike dood laat groot leemte
Geliefde inwoner verloor kankerstryd
Die skielike dood van mnr. Ivan Hoare-Palmer
het skokgolwe deur die Louis Trichjardtgemeenskap gestuur.
Ivan (56) het Donderdagaand, 10 November,
nog fluks gewerk aan voorbereidings vir die
Sondagskoolkonsert by die Lede in Christus
Louis Trichardt­gemeente. Vrydagoggend het sy
maagseer gebars en ‘n kollega by die werk, me.
Gizelle van Zyl, het hom na dr. Lappies Labus­
chagne geneem. Labuschagne het sy eggenoot,
Magriet, laat weet dat Ivan onmiddellik by die
hospitaal in Polokwane moet uitkom. Magriet
en Ivan (junior) het hom deurgejaag terwyl hy in
groot pyn verkeer het. Vrydag om 22:00 is hy in
die staatshospitaal in Polokwane geopereer, maar
tydens die operasie het sy longe platgeval. Hy
is hierna oorgeplaas na die hospitaal se hoësorg
eenheid, maar Ivan het nie weer sy bewussyn
herwin nie. Hy is Donderdag om 10:00 oorlede.
Mnr. Jan van den Berg (58) is op Woensdag,
9 November, in die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal in Louis Trichardt aan kanker oorlede.
Jan was baie geliefd by die boeregemeenskap
op Levubu, waar hy 26 jaar gelede begin boer
het. U-no-me, die familieplaas van skoonpa en
bekende inwoner mnr. Kallie Rottcher is weens
'n grondeis verkoop en die Van den Bergs het na
Louis Trichardt verhuis. Na die verhuising het Jan
nog aangehou boer.
“Hy het daarvan gehou om die hele tyd mense
om hom te hê. Jan was sagmoedig, vredeliewend
en rustig en hy het baie goeie menseverhoudinge
gehad. Hy kon lekker intelligent met almal gesels,”
onthou vroulief Louise.
Jan en Louise is 26 jaar gelede, op 4 Oktober
1985, in die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt­gemeente
getroud. Hulle seuns, Chrisjan, Heinrich en Jan­
Louis, is almal op Louis Trichardt gebore.
Jan was lief vir sy sport, vir lees en vir die kunste,
veral vir musiek. Hy het 'n groot waardering gehad
vir ander wat musiek kan maak.
Voordat Jan na vrugteboerdery oorgeskakel het,
was hy ‘n dosent by die destydse Venda Onderwys­
kollege. Sy onderwysvriende, sowel as sy vriende
van Levubu en Louis Trichardt, het hom hierdie
jaar baie ondersteun en besoek met sy kankerstryd.
“Vriende was sy lewe. Ek sal hom onthou vir
sy borrelende lewenslus en die ekstrovert wat hy
was,” sê Chrisjan. Sy groot liefde vir mense het
ook kinders en jongmense ingesluit.
"Vir ons as vriende neem ons afskeid van 'n
besondere persoon wat geseënd was met vele
talente," skryf 'n vriend.
Wyle Jan laat sy vrou, drie seuns en twee dog­
ters, Janelle Dreyer en Sanet de Vries, asook drie
kleinkinders, agter. Die gedenkdiens is Saterdag,
12 November vanuit die Hervormde Kerk op Louis
Trichardt vir hom gehou.
Louise het haar ouers, Kallie en Linie Rottcher,
en die vyf kinders en aangetroude kinders bedank,
asook al die familie en vriende wat Jan die afgelope
“Dit was ‘n groot skok. Die gemis is verskrik­
lik, maar die wete dat sy saak met die Here reg
was, is vir ons ‘n groot troos. Veral die laaste
ses maande van sy lewe het hy net vir die Here
geleef,” het 'n bedroefde Magriet gesê.
Ivan en Magriet het op 5 November hulle 34ste
huweliksherdenking gevier. Hulle woon al die
afgelope 20 jaar in Louis Trichardt. Aanvanklik
was Ivan verbonde aan die lugmag as ‘n vlieg­
tuigelektrisiën of avionikus. Die laaste aantal jare
was hy werksaam by Tractor Field Services, die
Massey Ferguson handelaar. Die boeregemeen­
skap het hom geken vir sy gehalte diens.
“Integriteit en eerlikheid en na­verkoopdiens
was vir hom ‘n voorvereiste by elke saketrans­
aksie. Hierdie man het beskik oor ‘n aangename
persoonlikheid en het ‘n besonderse talent gehad
om met die publiek en veral met vreemdelinge te
skakel,” skryf ‘n vriend.
Magriet onthou haar man as ‘n liefdevolle,
hulpvaardige mens wie se hande vir niks ver­
keerd gestaan het nie. As stokperdjie kon Ivan
die fynste werk aan horlosies doen.
Wyle Ivan laat sy vrou en twee seuns, Ivan (27)
en Maxwill (25), asook sy vader en moeder, past.
Peter en mev. Mettey Hoare­Palmer, en ‘n broer
en suster, agter. Hy is op 16 November vanuit die
AGS­kerk begrawe en die diens is waargeneem
deur past. Fanie Redelinghuys van die plaaslike
Lede in Christus gemeente.
Die gesin het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor
pastoor Fanie Redelinghuys en sy vrou Dalene
vir al hulle hulp en bystand, asook pastoorspaar
Edward en Valerie Swanepoel, die vorige
leraarspaar, wat van Van der Bijlpark gekom
het. Hulle bedank ook vir Jan Brink van Louis

Area along N1 “remains” a dumping site
No refuse should be buried in
areas not designated as landfill
This was the Makhado Mu­
nicipality’s response after more
complaints were received that
the municipality is continuing
to bury refuse in the open area
between Eltivillas and the N1.
The issue was pushed to the fore a
couple of weeks ago when a mu­
nicipal tractor operator capsized
the municipality’s back­actor

the municipality said that the
practice of burying refuse in the
area was prohibited and that they
would investigate the matter. To
date, no feedback with regard to
was received and it would seem
that the illegal practice is being

Aretha Smith, once again spot­
ted a back­actor scraping the
area to bury the waste lying
around. Municipal officials and
a municipal vehicle could be
observed nearby. “I was appalled
to see that municipal officials
are actively involved in using
an open space near the N1 as a
landfill site,” said Smith.
It would now seem that the
municipality is trying to blame
the machine operator’s illegal
behaviour on the actions of the
public. Apparently, it is the
same operator who capsized the
“There are two mass refuse
containers placed there for dis­
posal of refuse generated by
businesses around the area. It is
unfortunate that other people are
taking advantage of disposing re­
fuse there instead of going to the
landfill site. This practise makes
those two containers always full,
especially between sunset and
early morning,” stated Mr Elias
Mugari, the municipality’s direc­
tor of community services.
The municipality added that
the “supervisor was instructed
not to bury refuse there as we are
not authorised to make the area
The problem now comes in
when members of the public
set fire to the mass containers.
Mugari said that it was impos­
sible for the tractor to either
collect a burning refuse container
or transport the ashes of the burnt
refuse because a truck with a
sealed loading area is needed.
“As the waste management
section does not have its own
tipper trucks, [and] due to the
pressure from the nearby public,
it happened that burnt refuse was
buried there without permission
from the department,” Mugari
explained. Whether this practice
of burying refuse in an undesig­
nated area will continue, remains
Information about vacancies misleading
“Ons wou nog stop, maar toe was dit te laat.” Die instrukteur (regs) van ´n bestuurskool op
Louis Trichardt beduie wat verkeerd gegaan het, kort nadat ´n leerlingbestuurder in twee
geparkeerde voertuie vasgejaag het. Die ongeluk het verlede Donderdag op die hoek van
Songozwi- en Andersonstraat in die parkeerarea van Ocean Basket plaasgevind. Volgens die
instrukteur het ´n motor uit die parkeerarea uitgery gekom - reg voor hulle in. Die leerling
kon glo nie betyds stop of uitswaai nie en het teen twee geparkeerde voertuie gebots. Skade
aan die voertuie, wat aan broer en suster Chris-Jan van den Berg en Janelle Dreyer behoort,
beloop ongeveer R37 000.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) has warned members of the public not to be
misled by information doing
the rounds, via e-mail among
others, that there are vacant
posts for entry-level trainees
in the South African Police
Service for the 2010/11 financial year.
The SAPS states that there are
no vacant posts for entry­level
trainees at this stage and that in­
formation relevant to this subject
should be ignored as it is no lon­
ger valid. The posts contained in
the circulated information were
all filled during January 2011 and
the trainees employed as a result
of that intake are busy with their
basic learning programme.

Ex-offender on his way to a better life
There is life beyond imprisonment, said the
director of the Kutama Sinthumule maximum
security prison, Mr Lazarus Ngcwonwani,
during the official launching of the book of an
ex-offender, Mr Tshifhiwa Given Mukwevho,
at the prison's premises last Friday.
He said that regardless of the length of a jail
sentence, almost each offender would go home one
day. When the time for parole comes, like it came
for Mukwevho, he can do one of two things. He

He said the perception exists that parole officers

and they will respect you too," Mukwevho said.
He thanked Zoutnet, publishers of the Zoutpansberger and the Limpopo Mirror newspapers, for
giving him a second chance in life. "They allowed
me to write for their papers, which to me meant a
second chance to reclaim my life," said Mukwevho.

Talle vriende en familie het die afgelope
Saterdag by die woning van die merkwaardige
sakevrou, mev. Esther Kirsten, opgedaag om
haar geluk te wens met haar 89ste verjaardag.
Tannie Esther was besig om aan te sterk nadat
sy onlangs ongesteld was. Sy was tot betreklik
onlangs voor haar aftrede nog gereeld bedrywig
in die gesin se boekwinkel op Louis Trichardt.
Een van Louis Trichardt se oudste inwoners,
tannie Anna Snyder, het op 20 November
haar 80ste verjaardag gevier. Tannie Anna
het haar in 1941 in Louis Trichardt gevestig
en diep spore in die gemeenskap getrap.
“Veels geluk met die besonderse mylpaal,”
is die boodskap van kinders, kleinkinders en
vriende. Foto verskaf.
Francois Hoffman (links), Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se sportseun van die jaar, was gedurende sy
hele skoolloopbaan nooit ‘n dag afwesig nie. Hy was ‘n leerling aan Laerskool Levubu en Hoërskool
Louis Trichardt. Francois se ma, me. Lana Hoffman, was ook gedurende haar skoolloopbaan nooit
‘n dag afwesig nie. Soos hulle sê, die appel val nie ver van die boom af nie… Die inlasfoto is van
Lana le Roux, soos sy in 1978 in 'n koerantknipsel verskyn het. Die jonge Lana was ook ‘n leerling
van Laerskool Levubu en Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, waar sy ‘n bekende landloopatleet was.
Shiloh Babahuis is ‘n gemeenskapsprojek en is altyd dankbaar vir skenkings. ‘n Welkome skenking
was dié van al die netbaldogters van Laerskool Louis Trichardt, wat op 21 November in ontvangs
geneem is. Huismoeder me. Annatjie Blom (links agter) en vrywilliger me. Christien Hollander
verskyn saam met die O/12A en B netbalspanne.

Shiloh Babahuis verwag ‘n toename in babas
“Ons verwag dat heelwat babas oor Desember
by Shiloh Babahuis aangemeld sal word,” sê die
huismoeder van dié babahuis in Louis Trichardt,
me. Annatjie Blom.
Babas wat verlate gevind word, wees gelaat is,
van aborsie gered of nie versorg kan word nie,
word by Shiloh Babahuis in Munnikstraat versorg.
Dit is ‘n deurgangshuis en daar word gepoog om
geskikte ouerhuise vir die babas te vind. Shiloh
Babahuis, wat in 2007 geopen is, val onder die
uMephi­stigting van die AGS kerk se uitvoerende
Op die oomblik is daar sewe babas, met die
jongste twee maande en die oudste drie jaar.
“Die jongste enetjie van twee maande is in ‘n
toilet gevind en het nog gelewe. Dan is daar enetjie
wat in die bosse gevind is. Sy geboortedatum is on­
bekend, maar hy moet nou ongeveer sewe maande
wees en hy weeg maar net vyf kilogram. Die Here
se hand is in die besonder oor daardie tweetjies,
anders sou hulle nie vandag gelewe het nie,” sê
me. Blom, terwyl die liefde vir die ou kleintjies
uit haar oë straal.
Blom sê dat daar waarskynlik eersdaags uitplas­
ings vir aanneming sal geskied. Shiloh is dan weer
gereed vir die nuwe aanmeldings wat verwag word.
Shiloh Babahuis is ‘n gemeenskapsprojek en is
altyd dankbaar vir skenkings. ‘n Welkome sken­
king was dié van die netbalmeisies van Laerskool
Louis Trichardt. Al die netbalspanne, vanaf O/7 tot
O/13, het op 15 November ‘n afskeidsfunksie by

‘n babageskenk saambring.
“Dit is deel van ons gemeenskapsdiens. Om aan
Shiloh Babahuis te gee, is ons manier van dankie sê
aan almal in die gemeenskap wat ons netbalspanne
so ruim geborg het,” sê die skool se netbalorgani­
seerder, me. Luzelle Brown. Die geskenke is op
21 November aan me. Blom en vrywilliger me.
Christien Hollander oorhandig.

Your face shows stress more clearly than any other area of your
body. As a result, features tighten and lymph and blood ﬂow
to the skin is restricted. This starves tissues of moisture and
vitamins, leading to lines, blotches and saggy skin. Environ’s
Ionzyme DF II Machine, uses two methods to assist in the
penetration of active ingredients: iontophoresis, which involves
an electrical current being sent through larger surface such as
the face and neck to facilitate greater penetration of the vitamins,
gels and serums used in the process; and sonophoresis (best
for small areas such as scars and blotches), which uses sound
waves to carry vitamin molecules through the skin. These treatments tone and firm skin and enhance radiance.
This DF II Machine is the first to combine the use of active Sonophoresis and intensified Iontophoreisis, and is possibly the most
advanced machine of its kind in the world. It helps treat blemishes
such as patchy pigmentation, scarring and pimples.

New economic development forum for Musina
The economy of Musina received a
boost when more than 100 businesspeople gathered to launch the Musina
Forum a fortnight ago.
The main aim of the LED Forum is
to advise the municipality on businessrelated issues and law enforcement to
make sure that the economy continues to
grow in the border town.
This comes after the government de­
clared Musina as one of the growth points
Mayor Carol Phiri said it was encour­
aging to see that the municipality and the
business sector were working collectively
in growing the local economy.
She said Musina needed a new, creative
vision to make the local economy grow, so
that it can be part of the global economy.
“Our key role as government is basi­
cally to create a conducive environment
for businesses to thrive and to provide
platforms for constructive engagement.
We are proud that our partnership will
speedily assist us to realise this dream.”
She said Musina Municipality viewed
local economic development as one of
the most important ways of decreasing
poverty. “Local economic development
aims to create jobs by making the local
economy grow. This means that more
businesses and factories should be started
in the municipal area. As part of the IDP,
key stakeholders in a municipality must
come together to reach agreement and
take decisions to make the economy
grow and create income opportunities
for more people, especially the poor.”
She finally assured the
LED Forum that they
would get full support
“Through our LED of­
fice, we encourage you
to engage with us in
order to contribute to the
of our municipality.”
chairperson of the LED
Forum, Mr Otto Gern­
er, said businesspeople
this opportunity for a
long time. He said they
would work closely
with the municipality
to make sure that Mu­
sina became one of the
leading economic hubs

Rokunda Munzhedzi (Grade 4) and Jolly Afia (Grade 5).
Waste stretching from outside the landfill site to the entrance at the Vondeling Road. A breakdown
of equipment was cited by the Makhado Municipality as an important reason why the accumulated
waste stretches from the disposal area up to the Vondeling Road. Meanwhile, the Soutpansberg
Ratepayers Association has issued a media release on the non-compliance of this landfill site to
normal permit conditions.
Outcry over dumping site continues
The state of Louis Trichardt's municipal dumping site continues to cause an outcry.
The Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association has
issued a media release on the non­compliance with
“We visited the site on November 11 and were
informed that the compactor or front­end loader
had broken down and was out of commission for
the previous week, but at that moment it was being
utilised to compact refuse,” reads the statement.
A signboard should appear at the entrance to the
site that should contain information on the type
of site, the times of operation, and the name and
contact number of the person responsible.
“There is no signboard at the gate,” reports the
manager of the SRPA, Ms Aretha Smith. It is a
requirement that proper recording should be done.

tion numbers, volume of refuse dumped or the type
of refuse dumped. The reason for this is that, should
toxic waste be dumped, a record of the vehicle is
available and the person can be held accountable,”
The SRPA said that the operation of the site
left much to be desired. A landfill site is usually
operated according to a cell system. “Two parallel
sandwalls should be made about 20m apart … the
refuse should be dumped between these sandwalls
or ‘burms’…This area should, where possible, be
kept to a 20 x 20m work face and covered at least
once a week with ground or building material to
create a cell,” reads the statement.
A breakdown of equipment was cited by the
Makhado Municipality as an important reason why
the accumulated waste stretches from the disposal
area up to the Vondeling Road. It was “due to the
breakdown of our refuse compactor machine, we
also experienced breakdowns with other bulldozers
which are deployed when the one for the dumping
site is out of order. At the moment, the compactor
has been repaired and is functioning. The accu­
mulated refuse will be removed from the gate to
where it is supposed to be compacted and covered
with soil,” stated Mr Elias Mugari, the municipal­
ity's director of community services.
The municipality emphasised the importance of
equipment that must be in working order. “Permit
conditions state that waste should be compacted
and covered with soil on a daily basis and, if the
compactor is out of order, that contributes to non­
compliance, hence the compactor should always
be running,” stated Mugari. The SRPA states that,
during a breakdown of equipment, dumping at the
site should not just take place randomly, but ac­
cording to an orderly, prescribed method. Smith
said that when a breakdown of equipment should
occur, an adjacent area should be identified and all
refuse should be dumped there.
“The refuse dumped during the breakdown can
be worked into the work area by the operator when
there is time or after the normal working hours of
the site to ensure that day to day operations can
continue,” Smith said.
A health hazard that bothered the SRPA was the
absence of control over the ﬂies.
“There were no control measures in place to
prevent the breeding of ﬂies, thus causing a great
number of ﬂies to breed on the site,” Smith said.

Ancestors don’t speak for everybody
They do not have the sole right to communicate with the ancestors. This was one of the
responses of Dzamo La Mupo in an open letter
to the Minister of Water Affairs with regard
to CoAL’s water license application for their
planned Makhado Colliery.
The open letter to Minister Edna Molewa follows
CoAL’s information­sharing open day at Tshipise
on 30 September. In the letter, Dzamo La Mupo
and ten other supporting organizations within the
Vhembe District expressed their concerns with
regard to the planned open­pit Makhado mine. The
other supporting organisations are the Mupo Foun­
dation, Mudzi wa Vhurereli ha Vhavenda, Ndima
Community Services, Thikho ya Mvelele, Vhembe
Traditional Healers Forum, Cultural Biodiversity
Group, Vhufa ha Vhangona, Vhembe Traditional
Healers Practitioners, Vhangona National Cultural
Movement and the Soutpansberg District Agricul­
“We have been informed that the Musekwa com­
munity has granted permission to the Coal of Africa
Company to mine in the area through a consulta­
tion and ancestral ceremony conducted by Naledi
Development … The organizations concerned, as
signatories to this letter, are against the method of
singling out individual communities in negotiating
or soliciting agreements on a major process that
will affect not only the Musekwa or Mudimeli
communities alone, but the whole of Vhembe
District …,” states Dzamo La Mupo spokesperson
Mr Azwihangwisi Mudau in the letter.

do not have the authority to take a decision to grant
Coal of Africa permission to go ahead with mining,
with grave consequences for especially water, a
scare resource in this dry area. Presently, com­
munities are battling on a daily basis to get water
for household purposes and farmers in the area
need water for agricultural purposes as well. The
ability of whole communities to sustain them and
the ability of farmers (commercial and emerging)
to produce food are under threat – all because of
mining,” Mudau states.
The availability of water is the main concern of
Dzamo La Mupo and the other signatories of the
letter. “Looking at the information given at that
meeting, a lot of water is needed. Water [that will
come] from the ground, rainwater and surface wa­
ter, which includes water from existing dams like
the Nzhelele Dam, Vondo Dam and Nandoni Dam,
including the Vhembe/Limpopo River. At this point
in time, Coal of Africa is engaging the present title
holders of the affected farms around the Mudimeli
area to solicit their agreement on water licensing.
Regarding the Vondo and Nandoni Dams, there
has been no consultation with the communities
who use the water from those dams and there is
no permission or agreement with the community
stakeholders,” the letter states.
The letter indicates that if a license were to be
granted to Coal of Africa, the further depletion of
ground water will adversely affect the whole of
the Soutpansberg water source, which will affect
the whole of the Vhembe district. Their concerns
are in line with growing national and international
awareness with regard to climate change.
“Already the Vele mine is right on top of the
Limpopo River, extracting water from it. De Beers’
Venetia Diamond Mine is doing the same. We un­
derstand that there are further prospecting projects
under way. Therefore, the scarce water resource
of the Limpopo River is already under stress.
Makhado Colliery will not come up with miracles
to save water for future use,” the letter states.
The letter was handed to the Deputy Minister
of Water Affairs, Ms Joyce Mabudafhasi, on the
climate train en route to the 17th Conference of the
Parties (COP17) during its visit to the Soutpansberg
The government and civil society have partnered
to launch this unique “climate train” to crisscross
South Africa, raising awareness on changing
weather patterns ahead of the UN Climate Change
Conference, starting in Durban on 28 November.

At their AGM held on 1 November, the Levubu Avocado Study Group voted unanimously to
award their annual ‘Person of the Year’ trophy to VW Thompson’s Motors in Louis Trichardt
for their generous sponsorship of two Amarok bakkies for the study group’s tour to Natal.
During October, as part of the study group’s 20th anniversary celebrations, nine members
visited Natal. Boelie van Rensburg of Qwemico, who had arranged the tour and many of the
sponsorships, also made his Amarok available, and all three vehicles were branded with the

Trichardt to Makhado that were launched after the
