Angs na skote klap Deur Jo Robinson
Grootskaalse paniek het verlede Woensdag geheers by Makhado Crossing toe verskeie skote afgevuur is tydens ‘n gewapende roof by Pick n Pay. Alhoewel dit nog redelik vroeg in die oggend was, was die sentrum reeds baie besig, met talle pensioenarisse wat onder meer by die OTM’e net voor Pick n Pay se ingang gewag het om hul SASSA-pensioene te trek. Omstreeks 09:00 het ‘n man by Pick n Pay ingestap en homself voorgedoen as ‘n kliënt. Oomblikke later het hy ‘n pistool uitgepluk en ‘n geld-
sak by een van die winkel se vroulike personeellede gegryp. Die man het ‘n skoot in die lug afgevuur en na die agterkant van die winkel gehardloop om by een van die afleweringsdeure uit te kom. Hy het hom egter vasgeloop teen ‘n sekuriteitswag en ‘n worsteling het ontstaan. Nadat die rower nog twee skote afgevuur het, kon hy daarin slaag om uit te hardloop en weg te kom in ‘n silwer Ford ST wat agter die gebou gewag het. “Die man het weggekom met ‘n onbekende bedrag geld en niemand is in die voorval beseer nie,” het plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder konst. Irene Radzilane kort ná die voorval gesê. Alhoewel niemand seergekry het nie, beteken dit nie dat omstanders nie groot geskrik het nie. Dit was die geval by die nabygeleë Makhado Good Health Apteek, waar assistent aptekers mnre. Taki Mashau en Mpho Mahafha vinnig moes dink. Met die klap van die eerste skoot het hulle onmiddellik die apteek se deure toegepluk. “Ons
het die pensioenarisse by die OTM’e baie jammer gekry, maar dit was nie veilig om ons deure oop te maak vir hulle nie,” het Mashau gesê. “Die arme mense het nie geweet waar om te hardloop nie. Hulle het paniekerig heen en weer gehardloop en van hulle het op die grond neergeslaan in ‘n poging om weg te kom,” het Mashau bygevoeg. Toe het nog twee skote geklap. “Ons het ons deure vir twee-en-‘n-half ure toegesluit gehou, want ons wou seker maak ons kliënte is veilig,” het Mashau gesê. Die gewapende roof sou nie die enigste drama wees wat verlede week by Pick n Pay ontvou het nie. Skaar 24 uur later het personeel die oggend van 2 Augustus opgemerk dat iemand deur die nag by die winkel ingebreek en ‘n groot hoeveelheid kontant uit die kontantkantoor gesteel het. Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder kol. Moatshe Ngoepe het kort ná die voorval gesê niemand weet hoe die rowers toegang tot die winkel gekry het nie. Tog blyk dit dat die polisie betrou-
bare leidrade gehad het om op te volg, want hulle kon Maandag daarin slaag om twee verdagtes, ‘n 28- en ‘n 30-jarige man, in verband met die inbraak aan te keer. Ngoepe het Dinsdag gesê dat die twee mans op die N1 noord buite Louis Trichardt aangekeer is en dat hulle binnekort in die landdroshof op Louis Trichardt sou verskyn. Op ‘n vraag of die twee mans verbind kan word met die gewapende roof van 1 Augustus, het Ngoepe gesê dat die polisie dit nie in daardie stadium kon bevestig nie, maar dat die moontlikheid deel sou vorm van hulle ondersoek. Teen Woensdagoggend het die twee verdagtes steeds nie in die hof verskyn nie. By navraag oor wanneer die twee mans sou verskyn, het Ngoepe gesê dat die polisie steeds besig was met hul ondersoek ten opsigte van die mans se moontlike betrokkenheid by ander misdade. Volgens hom het hulle hierdie inligting nodig voordat die mans in die hof verskyn, aangesien hulle enige borgaansoek gaan teëstaan.
Mnre. Mpho Mahafha en Taki Mashau, Woensdag afgeneem saam met ‘n kliënt. Hulle het verlede Woensdag hulself in die middel van die gewapende roof by Pick n Pay bevind en moes vinnig dink om hulself en hul kliënte te beskerm.

Three in court over explosives in truck Court News
Buig laag dan klim jy hoog Filippense 2:1-8. Vers 5: Want hierdie gesindheid moet ook in julle wees...
od sy dank, die Here Jesus het deur sy kruisdood die deur na die hemel vir die verlore mensdom oopgesluit. Toe die Almagtige God uit sy oneindigheid en onsigbaarheid uitdrukking aan sy wese - sy HART - wou gee, het Hy vir Jesus, die Argitek en mede-Skepper van die heelal “wat in die gestalte van God was”, die gestalte van ‘n dienskneg laat aanneem om ‘n dienskneg van mense te word (Matt. 20:28). Omdat Hy self versoek is en gely het, kan Hy dié help wat versoek word. Ons Hoëpriester is nie Een wat geen medelye met ons swakhede kan hê nie; Hy was immers in elke opsig aan versoeking onderworpe, net soos ons … maar sonder sonde (Heb. 2:18; 4:18). Vir jou swakhede sal jy Hom altyd nodig hê. Die rede waarom Hy as die enigste Redder gekwalifiseer het, was omdat Hy met elke versoeking, eerder as om die makliker uitweg te kies, “Homself verneder deur gehoorsaam te word tot die dood toe, ja, die dood van die kruis” (Filippense 2:8). Daar is verskillende trappe van vernedering. Die laagste trap vir Jesus was die kruisdood, gepaard met al die hardhandige, genadelose en afgryslike vernedering tot in die stof en modder deur gemene en verharde sondaarmense. In Handelinge 8:33 sê Lukas dat daar in sy vernedering nie reg aan Hom geskied het nie, die mense het misbruik van sy Lam-gesindheid gemaak (1 Pet. 2:23). Sonder weerstand was Hy beledig, soos ‘n skaap na die slagplek gelei. Het jy jouself al ooit so onder sy kragtige hand verneder, dat jy op die regte tyd deur Hom verhoog kan word?
The three suspects arrested at the Beit Bridge border post over the weekend after police and customs officials found a large consignment of explosives in the truck they were travelling in all briefly appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. The three - two men, Murino Floyd (26) en Tondorai Munthisi (33), and a woman, the 37-yearold Tichavanwe Supai - were all denied bail and their case was postponed until 13 August, pending further police investigations. The court apperance follows their apprehension during a joint stop-and-search operation that was conducted on Saturday, 4 August, at the border post. Their truck was stopped for scanning purposes and the authorities subsequently recovered 750 explosive blasting caps and three rolls of explosive cabling with an estimated street value of R300 000. “The origin and destination of the explosives are still being deThe explosive found termined,” said provinin the truck.

They registered for the BSc programme at UP in the hopes that they could still get into medicine as UP offers space to the top 49 students in the BSc programme after the first semester. These students must achieve an average of 80% or more in the first semester to qualify. Fatima and Ahmed were among the top 49 selected.

New service or business in town?
ZOUTPANSBERGER, 10 AUGUSTUS 2018
SASSA woes continue as many pensioners still without money beneficiaries have now been paid for the July cycle”. Some unhappy grant beneficiaries disagree, however, and continue to contact the Zoutpansberger seeking help in getting access to their money. Mr Justice Kapara contacted the Zoutpansberger looking for help for his aged mother, pensioner Ms Tovhowani Florah Gabara, who has not been able to draw her pension for either July or August. Kapara is based in Johannesburg and unable to physically come to his mother’s aid right now, while she herself lives out of town and is unable to afford transport back and forth. She informed her son that when she tried to get assistance from the local SASSA office, she was shouted at and told to “Go home, and don’t come back.” The Zoutpansberger shared this information with a Mr Mvhangu, an employee at the SASSA Louis Trichardt branch. While directing the very many people seeking help outside Louis Trichardt’s SASSA offices on 2 August, he stated that people were “keying in the incorrect information at ATMs”, which was con-

While the Spanish Flu seems like a past point in history, the truth is that it was the first incidence of the H1N1 virus, which is very much present in the world today.

According to our study, the 1918 virus is rather of swine virus origin. The important new finding is that the signature of the PB1 gene of the 1918 virus is identical to that of the classical swine and human H1N1 viruses.

Don’t forget to take your cash when leaving the ATM By Jo Robinson
On Tuesday, 31 July, an eagle-eyed employee of FNB Louis Trichardt recognised Mr Roy Saunders from his photograph in an article in the Zoutpansberger of 14 July and realised from looking at CCTV footage that Saunders had left an ATM machine with only his card and not the cash he had withdrawn. Saunders is a pensioner and could not afford going without his pension money. The FNB employee followed the trail and not only recovered the cash, but made sure that she tracked Saunders down and returned his pension withdrawal to him. He was very impressed and relieved and said afterwards: “The bank was very good at following it up on the ATM camera and recovering the money. The bank manager, Joyce, is a very nice lady!” After this incident, more residents shared their experience of the new “card first and cash last” system at FNB ATMs. It now seems easier to forget your cash after getting so used to getting your card last at ATMs. The Zoutpansberger asked for comment from FNB regarding the new system. “FNB was the only bank in South Africa to give our customers their cash first and then the card at our ATMs. All the other banks dispense the card first and then the customer’s cash. This resulted in a large percentage of our customers forgetting their cards inside the ATM. The ATM would then
‘swallow’ the card and place it in a dedicated bin. Thereafter, the card would have to be destroyed according to payments regulations,” said Ms LeeAnne van Zyl, CEO of FNB Points of Presence. This, she said, in turn resulted in a major inconvenience to their customers as customers had to re-order a card and be without a card for the duration of the re-issuance. “The cost and inconvenience associated with re-issuing hundreds of thousands of cards per year impacted our customers directly,” said Van Zyl. When asked what happens to money left behind in an ATM, assuming it is not appropriated by whoever happens to be next in the queue, Van Zyl said that if customers forget to take their cash, the ATM will retract it back into the device and place it in a separate area known as the ‘Retract Bin’. “The ATM then writes that activity to the electronic journal with a certain error code, so when customers contact us to dispute the transaction, we will retrieve the journal and see that the cash was in fact not dispensed but retracted. We can then immediately refund the customer, with minimal inconvenience,” said Van Zyl. In a scenario where money forgotten in the ATM is taken and kept by a bystander, Van Zyl said that in such a case it would be a criminal matter that the customer must report to the police, and that the bank did not have any insurance to cover losses such as these. She shared some safety-conscious tips for using ATMs. When it comes to the PIN, Van Zyl urged clients
to keep it confidential. “Never share it with anyone, not even friends and family; don’t write it down, and don’t make it easy to guess, such as a birth date. When transacting, cover the key pad with your hand - since scammers can place cameras to record what you’re punching in - while standing as close as possible to the ATM and not letting anyone to distract you or stand too close. Do not enter your PIN on a screen that is unfamiliar to you. Carefully read the instructions before transacting,”
said Van Zyl. Once cash has been withdrawn, Van Zyl said, immediately place this out of sight. “Avoid handling cash in public view and secure your wallet and handbag before leaving the ATM. Set a realistic daily limit on your banking to protect yourself, should your details be compromised, check your statements regularly and report suspicious transactions immediately … And, of course, don’t forget to take your cash after your card,” said Van Zyl.
FNB has changed from issuing cash before returning your bank card to giving your card back first, for reasons of safety and convenience. They encourage clients not to lose focus while conducting transactions at ATMs.

Die MOTHs in Louis Trichardt nooi alle inwoners met ‘n liefde vir die Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis, veral die Bosoorlog in Angola, uit om op 4 Oktober te kom luister na Wynand du Toit, oud-weermagmajoor in die spesiale magte. Dit sal die ideale geleentheid wees vir inwoners wat verlede jaar Du Toit se besoek aan Louis Trichardt op 7 April misgeloop het, om hom te ontmoet Veral ouer inwoners sal Du Toit goed onthou. Hy is tydens ‘n mislukte militêre operasie, Operasie Argon, in Mei 1985 in Angola gevangene geneem. Twee van sy makkers is tydens ‘n vuurgeveg doodgeskiet. Du Toit is vir 837 dae in isolasie in ‘n Angolese tronk aangehou. Hy is uiteindelik in September 1987 vrygelaat, na ‘n uitruilooreenkoms. Du Toit is uitgeruil vir twee ANC lede en 133 Angolese soldate. Ná sy vrylating het Du Toit verskeie boeke oor sy ervaring geskryf. Du Toit se praatjie begin 18:00 by die Turbi Hills Shellhole te Burgerstraat 66. Geen toegangsfooi sal gevra word nie en ‘n kontantkroeg sal beskikbaar wees.

Tennisklub besig om ‘n nuwe baadjie aan te trek Deur Andries van Zyl
Die Louis Trichardt Tennisklub word tans ‘n nuwe baadjie aangetrek, nadat die klub die afgelope week begin het met die herseël van al ses hul bane. Volgens klubvoorsitter JG van den Berg is die bane in die vroeë jare 2000 laas herseël. “Die rede hoekom ons dit doen is om tennis weer as familie­ sport in die dorp te vestig,” het JG gesê. Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het op 30 Julie hulle jaarlikse prysuitdeling vir hokkie gehou. Dinsdag is daar begin met die herseël van die Hierdie meisies het almal hul eerste erekleure ontvang as deel van ‘n provinsiale span of ‘n eerste drie bane.

Die rede waarom daar begin word met net drie bane, is om aan spelers die geleentheid te gee om steeds voort te gaan met hul spel. “Dit gee die afrigter kans om aan te gaan met klasse,” het JG gesê. As alles goed verloop, sal klublede en afrigters oor sowat twee weke oorskuif na die nuwe bane, waarna daar begin sal word om die laaste drie bane te herseël. “Ons verwag dat alles oor so ‘n maand en ‘n half van nou af voltooi sal wees,” het JG gesê. JG het gesê dat hulle darem bietjie spaargeld gehad het om die werk te doen, aangesien hulle die afgelope jaar hard gewerk het om geld in te samel en hul lidmaatskap uit te brei. Die herseël is uit eie fondse gefinansier, hoofsaaklik te danke aan die bydraes van klublede en buite instansies. Van die groter donateurs het ingesluit Marius Schutte, Irma Maree en PSG Konsult. “Ons moet vir almal, al die klublede en skenkers van buite, bedank vir al Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het op 30 Julie hulle jaarlikse prysuitdeling vir hokkie gehou. die bydraes en fisiese hulp.

Both able-bodied and disabled to share track By Jo Robinson
A unique event for both able-bodied and disabled athletes will be hosted at Louis Trichardt High School on Saturday, 8 September. The organising team, Is Ability, says that, first and foremost, this is a fun event for everyone, children and adults. No entry criteria or classification of qualifying times or experience will be needed, and no entry fee will be charged for athletes to participate or for spectators. Participants will also receive a special gift package, which will include a free lunch pack, and refreshments will be sold throughout the day for spectators. Events will include track events such as sprints consisting of 60m, 80m, 100m, 200m, 400m, as well as field events, including shotput and wheelchair shotput, discus, javelin and wheelchair javelin. “We will be honoured with the presence of our very own South African Paralympic sporting hero, Ntando Mahlangu, who will not only DJ the Dancea-thon but will also be competing against all the able-bodied runners who sign up for the exhibition relay race planned for the day,” said Sandy James, one of the organisers of this once-off event. Anyone who would like to run against Ntando is invited to contact any of the organisers listed below. SABC2 will also have a cameraman on site to film the event for part of their Beyond Boundaries series, which

focuses on sports for the disabled. Talent scouts will also be there looking for future champions. As well as the dance-a-thon, a jumping castle will be on site for the little ones. Local clubs for the disabled have also been invited to participate, and a great turnout is anticipated by the local organisers for the event, including Sandy (former principal of the Emmanuel Christian School), Louisa Kirsten (Paralympic Assessor), Adri Theron (Retired Physiotherapist), and Sheryl James (BA Health and Social Sciences), who are working closely with the hosts to bring it all together. Sandy said that Is Ability is a Gauteng-based sports club and academy that caters for able-bodied and disabled athletes alike, both adults and children. “They have a branch called ‘Jumping Kids’, which is a registered non-profit organisation that facilitates the provision of prosthetic limbs for amputees, particularly children, who cannot afford medical assistance. It has facilitated the participation of a number of teams at World Wheelchair and Para-games Ireland. The Is Ability club states that a “disabled athlete does not seek or need pity, or even want to be regarded as disabled, but only the opportunity to participate and function without prejudice in a society where sport is a valuable component, whether it be for competitive purposes or just for recreation and fun,” said Sandy. According to Sandy, a highlight of the day will happen on site when a child who is an amputee will be fitted with a prosthetic limb for the first time as a “demonstration – inspiration” and will then participate competitively as part of the Jumping Kids initiative. “If anyone in the community feels inspired to assist in any way, be it financially or as voluntary hands and feet, please contact one of us. Hopefully this could be the beginning of many future events, including different sports, where able-bodied and disabled people can participate together,” said Sandy. Athletes are requested to arrive at 08:00 to register. The event will take place from 08:30 until 14:30. For more information, phone Sandy (084 506 3333), Sheryl James (061 023 0771), Louisa Kirsten (083 361 5983) or email them at ecs@live. co.za. This event is being held in partnership with the Makhado Municipality and the full support of the mayor Shonisani Sinyosi.
Laerskool Louis Trichardt is baie trots op hulle eerste seunshokkiespan. Die span het Saterdag hulself oortref tydens ‘n hokkietoernooi in Polokwane. Eers klop hulle Laerskool PietersburgOos (Oosskool) 2-1 op hul opponente se tuisveld, waarna hulle 2-0 afreken met PCS. In hul laaste wedstryd van die dag klop hulle Mitchell House oortuigend met ses doele teenoor nul. “Die seuns het ‘n baie goeie vertoning gegee en hulle het goeie veggees gewys,” het afrigter Dirkie van den Berg (links) gesê.
Die Soutpansberg Muurbal Uitdaagtoernooi is op 4 en 5 Augustus vir die 30ste keer aangebied deur die Soutpansberg Muurbalklub in Louis Trichardt.

Witleeus sit segetog voort Deur Andries van Zyl
Hoërskool Louis Trichardt is super trots op hul eerste rugbyspan, die Witleeus, nadat hulle die afgelope naweek hul segetog voortgesit het in die finale uitspeelwedstryde van die Virseker Beker. Die Witleeus het Saterdag op hul tuisveld uitgedraf teen Hoërskool Stofberg van Brakpan in die kwarteindronde van die liga se Afdeling 3. “Triegies het die wedstryd op ‘n hoë tempo begin. Ons het baie balbesit gehad en groot aanvalle geloods. Tog het klein foutjies aan ons kant, soos om die bal aan te slaan of vorentoe aan te gee, Stofberg in die wedstryd gehou. Dit is ook waarom die halftydtelling so naby aan mekaar was,” het die span se afrigter, Armand Stander, gesê. Die halftydpraatjie in die kleedkamer het vir seker gewerk. “Ná halftyd het die seuns met nuwe
gees, en ‘n wil om die kwarteindronde deur te trek, op die veld gedraf. Stofberg het egter goeie verdediging in hul agterlyn gehad om ons in toom te hou en hulle in die wedstryd te hou. Ons moes veg tot die einde om die wedstryd te wen,” het Stander gesê. Die Witleeus het Stofberg uiteindelik met 34-26 geklop. Die span se puntemaker was stut Marko “Japie” Kotze, agsteman Philip Apea-Adu, vleuel Karabo Boikanyo, binnesenter Johannes Joubert en heelagter Ali Sefole, wat elk een drie gaan druk het. Die span se skopper, skrumskakel Gerhardt Grobler, was ook in die kol Saterdag en het vier van sy vyf skoppe deur die pale gestuur. Die Witleeus het boaan die punteleer in Limpopo geëindig in die liga se Afdeling 3.
Dit het aan hulle ‘n plek verseker in die eerste ronde uitspeelwedstryde waar hulle voorverlede Saterdag teen Hoërskool Fochville op hul opponente se tuisveld te staan gekom het. Dit was ook ‘n strawwe wedstryd, maar die Witleeus het Fochville 39-29 geklop. Hierdie oorwinning het hulle ‘n plek besorg in die kwarteindronde teen Stofberg. In hierdie stadium het die Witleeus hul oog op die finaal van die liga. “Alles hang egter af van die naweek se wedstryde,” het Stander gesê. Die Witleeus ry eerskomende Vrydag deur na Bedfordview in Johannesburg waar hulle Saterdag te staan sal kom in die semifinale ronde van die Virseker Beker teen Hoërskool Leeuwenhof, ‘n
Afrikaanse privaatskool. Triegies sal beslis veg vir nog ‘n oorwinning. As die Witleeus weer ‘n oorwinning kan bewerkstellig, sal die ander wedstryd wat Saterdag beslis word bepaal teen wie hulle in die finaal gaan speel. Die ander semifinale wedstryd is tussen Hoër Tegniese Skool Carel de Wet van Vanderbijlpark en Hoërskool Brandwag van Benoni. “Ek glo dit gaan Brandwag wees, maar hulle moet eers nog speel die naweek,” het Stander gesê. Hy het sy dank uitgespreek teenoor die gemeenskap van Louis Trichardt wat hulle die afgelope naweek in hul wedstryd teen Stofberg kom ondersteun het. “Dit word opreg waardeer,” het Stander gesê.
