Donderstorm kos boer tussen R200 000 en R300 000 ná weerlig 21 dragtige verse doodslaan
Die 21 dragtige verse waar hulle in ‘n lang, reguit ry dood lê in die veld, nadat hulle deur weerlig getref is. “Die hartseer is ‘n mens kan niks met die vleis doen nie. Al wat ons kon doen, was om die laaigraaf in te bring, ‘n gat te grawe en hulle toe te stoot,” het eienaar mnr. Brink Schlesinger gesê. Foto verskaf.
Weerlig slaan beeste dood Deur Andries van Zyl Ná Sondagmiddag se hewige donderstorm het mnr. Brink Schlesinger nog opgemerk dat hy dankbaar is vir die 15mm reën wat hy op sy plaas ontvang het, terwyl ander boere niks gekry het. Dit was egter voordat hy uitgevind het die weerlig het 21 van sy dragtige verse
doodgeslaan. Schlesinger, van die plaas Black Stone bo-op die berg naby Waterpoort, vertel dat hulle Sondagmiddag nog die trop dragtige verse in ‘n kamp laer af teen die berg ingejaag het. “Ons vat hulle so twee weke voordat hulle moet kalf na die vlakte. Ek wil nie hê hulle moet in die berg kalf nie, want dan vang die luiperds die kalwers,” het Schlesinger gesê.
In daardie stadium was daar nog geen aanduiding van enige donderstorm nie. Sowat ‘n uur nadat hulle in die nuwe kamp ingejaag is, het die verse egter dood gelê in die veld nadat hulle deur weerlig getref is. Schlesinger het eers Maandagoggend van sy verlies uitgevind, nadat sy beeswagters op die skokvonds afgekom het. “Dit is so ‘n skok om die beeste so te sien,” het
Schlesinger gesê. Skaars drie weke vantevore het hy nog aan ‘n vriend opgemerk dat hy bly is hy boer nie meer met gewasse nie. Dit nadat heelparty boere hulle hele oeste verloor het in die onlangse verwoestende haelstorm in die Waterpoort/Vivoomgewing. (Vervolg op p.2)

“Very sick” Rambau seen driving around
Senior magistrate Ronnie Rambau (insert) leaves the Hajee Noor Centre on Monday morning.
A “very sick” senior magistrate Ronnie Rambau was spotted driving around Louis Trichardt, causing quite a few raised eyebrows this week. Rambau, accused of accepting bribe money to influence court cases, was supposed to be in Polokwane on Monday where his disciplinary hearing was expected to start. He was, however, spotted at the Hajee Noor Centre in Louis Trichardt while he was, according to his advocate, in hospital with a severe stomach illness. Rambau was seen entering Checkers in the centre half an hour before his hearing was supposed to start. The Zoutpansberger was able to obtain a photograph of Rambau leaving the centre. He was driving his double cab Isuzu and was wearing a striped T-shirt, sweat pants and sandals.
The secretary of the Magistrate’s Commission, Mr Danie Schoeman, confirmed via email on Monday that Rambau was supposed to attend a misconduct hearing in Polokwane. “Due to an illness, Regional Magistrate Rambau was not able to attend the trial,” Schoeman said. According to information, Rambau submitted a medical certificate to the commission. On Friday, Rambau’s lawyer phoned the commission to inform them that Rambau had been admitted to hospital. Which hospital could not be confirmed. All Schoeman could confirm by Tuesday was that the allegations of Rambau’s being spotted in Louis Trichardt had been passed on to their Department of Ethics for further action. The outcome of this investigation, according to a source close to the hearing, will
determine whether Rambau’s salary will be cancelled or not. Since his arrest on corruption charges in February last year, Rambau had been receiving his full salary, despite the fact that he was not allowed back in his office. Rambau, together with his coaccused, prosecutor Estene Willemse and attorney T E Lubisi, are currently standing trial for allegedly pre-determining the sentence of vehicle theft cases by means of a plea agreement. The trio is also accused of receiving bribe money in murder and rape cases. All three are expected to appear in the Musina Magistrate’s Court on 24 and 25 November to start their testimony. In the meantime, Schoeman confirmed that Rambau’s misconduct hearing was postponed until 24 and 25 January of next year.
Weerlig slaan 21 beeste op plaas dood
A heavy vehicle caused havoc on the N1 north on Wednesday morning when it first crashed hit a sedan, than another truck before crashing down the mountain. The accident happened about 1km before the Witvlag-turn off road. According to the driver, Mr Reuben Makombe from Zimbabwe, he lost control over the truck after the steering became stuck. Miraculously he escaped without a scratch. His security guard that accompanied him however had to be taken to hospital for treatment. The accident severely affected traffic flow on the N1.
(Vervolg van p.1) “Ek het baie simpatie met daardie boere,” het Schlesinger gesê. Hy wil nie te veel tob oor sy verlies nie. “Dit was ‘n frats,” het Schlesinger gesê. Tog is die dood van sy 21 verse vir hom ‘n dubbele verlies – eintlik 42 beeste, as almal gekalf het. Hy beraam sy verlies op tussen R200 000 en R300 000.
Beeste wat deur weerlig doodgeslaan word, is egter nie ‘n ongewone verskynsel in dié omgewing nie. Hy vertel dat weerlig in 2007 op die buurplaas Bushy-Rise vyf koeie doodgeslaan het en in 2009 vier koeie met kalwers op dieselfde plaas. “Ons het spesifieke kampe al op Bushy-Rise waar die beeste nie hierdie tyd van die jaar loop nie, juis as gevolg van die
donderstorms en weerlig. Dit is egter die eerste keer dat dit op my plaas gebeur,” het Schlesinger gesê. Hy sê hy weet nie hoekom die weerlig so lief is om daar so gereeld te slaan nie. “Die hartseer is ‘n mens kan niks met die vleis doen nie. Al wat ons kon doen was om die laaigraaf in te bring, ‘n gat te grawe en hulle toe te stoot,” het Schlesinger gesê.

Jong man vir sy dapperheid beloon Die 19-jarige mnr. Ferdie Landman van Louis Trichardt het Saterdag die eerste ontvanger geword van die Soutpansberg Distrikslandbouunie se Boerekruis vir Dapperheid. Landman het op 28 Mei vanjaar sy eie lewe in gevaar geplaas deur mnr. Jan Louw (49) van die plaas Nooitgedacth te hulp te snel tydens ‘n gewelddadige plaasaanval. In die proses is beide Landman en Louw herhaaldelik met messe gesteek, maar hulle kon daarin slaag om hul aanvallers te verwilder en die aanval te oorleef. Die uitsonderlike durf wat Landman openbaar het om Louw te hulp te snel, het die SDLU aangespoor om hom vir sy dapperheid te beloon. Die Boerekruis vir Dapperheid is aan hom toegeken tydens die Louis Trichardt Boerevereniging se jaarlikse prysuitdeling- en jaareindfunksie by die Beja Hengeloord. Mnr. Doors le Roux, veiligheidsverteenwoordiger van die SDLU en voorsitter van die TLU SA Noord veiligheidskomitee, het ter agtergrond gesê dat die eertydse weermag ‘n Honorus Cruxmedalje toegeken het aan iemand wat uitsonderlike dapperheid getoon het.
“Na vele veranderinge is die voorreg om erkenning te gee vir dapperheid ongelukkig nie langer in gebruik in Suid-Afrika nie,” het Le Roux gesê. Derhalwe het die SDLU besluit om hierdie trotse tradisie weer te laat herleef. Le Roux het die gebeure van daardie byna noodlottige Saterdagaand in herinnering te roep vandat hulle Louw se stem oor die plaaswagradio hoor roep het: “Hulle het ons aangeval. Ons bloei baie.” Minute vantevore is Louw en Landman met ‘n gesteelde vuurwapen by Louw se huis ingedwing. Ferdie het voor geloop. Louw het omgeswaai, die aanvallers se vuurwapen gegryp en hulle by die huis uitgedryf. Buite het Louw om sy lewe geveg teen twee aanvallers, een met ‘n .303-geweer en die ander met ‘n mes. Hy is herhaaldelik gesteek terwyl hy aan die geweer vasgeklou het en het na Landman Die 19-jarige mnr. Ferdie Landman (regs) met sy Boerekruis vir Dapperheid.

In die proses is hy ook herhaaldelik gesteek. Deur Isabel Venter Le Roux het vertel dat Landman ure na die voorval in die hospitaal sou bieg: “Ek was bang. Ek het geweet as ek nou die deur sluit, is ek en my ma veilig, maar ek het ook geweet as ek Oom Jan Nog ‘n man van Louis Tri- imbroek losgeknoop het en toe onder die indruk was dat hy aan alleen los, is hy dood.” Le Roux het Landman se optrede vergelyk met chardt is verlede Woensdag aan haar privaatdele gevat het. die ma gevat het, want toe hulle die van die 15-jarige Afrikaner-kinderheld, Dirkie in die Streekhof op Louis Sy het die volgende oggend vir gaan slaap het, het sy langs hom Uys.

Erkenning vir dekade se getroue diens
Ridgeway Independent School announced their Student Council for 2012 on 3 November. From left are Fatima Dawood (head of council), and council members Meghna Patel, Nkateko Mkansi, Ahmed Manzoor, Mishal Aboobaker, Roli Mughivi and Amaara Ayob.
Twee lede van die Louis Trichardt Boerevereniging het op 5 November, tydens die vereniging se jaarlikse prysuitdelingsfunksie by die Albasinidam, hul brons TLU SA-knopies ontvang vir 10 jaar se getroue diens. Terselfdertyd het die vereniging ook sy 10de bestaansjaar gevier. Mnr. Fritz Ahrens, wat sedert die stigting van die vereniging op 1 Februarie 2001 as voorsitter optree, was die een ontvanger. Mnr. Stephen Hoffman, voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Distrikslandbou-unie (SDLU), het
gesê dat die boerevereniging, onder leiding van Ahrens, sedert stigting ‘n goeie grondslag gelê het waarop net voortgebou kan word. Ahrens het op sy beurt die gemeenskap bedank vir die ondersteuning wat hy die afgelope 10 jaar van hulle ontvang het. Die ander ontvanger van die TLU SA se brons knopie was mnr. Jacques Bouwer. Bouwer het egter reeds twee jaar voor die stigting van die boerevereniging ‘n veiligheidstruktuur, die Plaaswag, op plase op die been gebring en staan sedertdien aan die stuur daarvan. “Jacques
Bouwer, oftewel Juliet Bravo, is sinoniem met veiligheid. Hy het nie net op boereverenigingvlak nie, maar ook op distriksvlak ‘n groot bydrae gelewer en sy besondere eienskap om beheer te neem van ‘n situasie het die gemeenskap rustig laat volg,” het Hoffman gesê. Die toekenning is met groot heimwee aan Bouwer gemaak, wat aangekondig het dat hy die teuels as voorsitter van die groter Louis Trichardtplaaswagstruktuur, asook as veiligheidsvoorsitter van Louis Trichardt Boerevereniging, gaan neerlê.
Life long sentences for two rapists Two young men from Tshakuma were sentenced to life imprisonment after gangraping a 52-year-old woman. Ntambudzeni Nagana (28) and Tshifhiwa Madzivhandila (30) appeared in the Louis Trichardt Regional Court last Wednesday on single counts of rape and robbery with aggravating circumstances. The rape took place on 21 February last year. The woman was collecting wood together with her husband near Levubu when Nagana and Madzivhandila approached them. First the men asked the woman’s husband for cigarettes and R10.
When he told them that he had nothing on him, they took his panga by force. Nagana and Madzivhandila threatened to kill the husband if he tried anything and ordered him to leave. They then used the panga to hit the woman and threaten her before raping her, taking turns while one would stand on the lookout. After they finished raping the woman, she told police later, the two men debated over whether or not to kill her. The men left her for dead, however, and fled the scene with her cellphone. The woman’s husband found her in the bushes when he later returned with help. She was
taken to hospital, where DNAsamples of the two men were recovered from her. Nagana and Madzivhandila were arrested after police traced the cellphone they had stolen from the woman. During their trial, the men were unable to explain how their DNA got inside the woman. They pleaded not guilty on both charges. Both were sentenced to life in prison on the count of rape and five years on the count of robbery. The court ordered, however, that the sentences be served out concurrently, meaning that they received an effective 20 years’ imprisonment.
Twee lede van die Louis Trichardt Boerevereniging, mnre. Frits Ahrens (tweede van links) en Jacques Bouwer (regs), het op 5 November, tydens die vereniging se jaarlikse prysuitdelingsfunksie by die Albasinidam, hul brons TLU SA-knopies ontvang vir tien jaar se getroue diens. Saam met hulle staan mnre. Stephen Hoffman en Dries Joubert (tweede van regs) wat onlangs sy goue TLU SA-knopie ontvang het.

Boere-oorloggrafte roer plaaslik ook die hartsnare Die boere-oorloggrafte op die eiland St Helena het besoekers van Louis Trichardt diep getref. Tussen 1900 en 1902 was daar ongeveer 6 000 boere krygsgevangenes op St Helena, ‘n eiland in die Atlantiese Oseaan. Marius en Inga Gilfillan van Louis Trichardt het gesien dat die grafte van boere krygsgevangenes van die Anglo- Boere-oorlog (1899-1902) goed versorg word. Hulle het ook die nostalgie beleef om iets te begryp van hoe afgesonderd en eensaam die krygsgevangenes op die eiland was. “Ons het ‘n foto gesien van hoe die boere sit en die vlooie en luise uit hulle komberse haal. Gelukkig kon hulle redelik rondbeweeg en het hulself goed besig gehou,” sê Inga. Die gevangenes het die beste gemaak van hul tyd in gevangenisskap en het hul vaardighede beoefen, land-
bou bedryf, geleenthede georganiseer, hulle eie koerant gepubliseer en selfs hul eie besighede besit. In 1900 is daar ‘n uitstalling gehou en die boere krygsgevangenes is uitgenooi om deel te neem. So baie het deelgeneem dat hulle ‘n aparte kamer benodig het om al hul ware ten toon te stel om te verkoop. Hulle het artikels uit hout gekerf, soos muurpanele, pyphouers, bokse en speelgoed. Servethouers en pype is uit been vervaardig. Hulle moes werk met wat hulle tot hulle beskikking gehad het en tafelmesse moes dien as ‘n saag. Die Gilfillans het ‘n besondere belangstelling in hierdie items, aangesien hulle ook die plaaslike boere-oorlogmuseum bedryf. In die Zoutpansberg Skermutseling en Erfenismuseum by die Lalapanzi Hotel is daar items gekerf uit hout, been en klip te sien, ook van die spesifieke

“Lewenslange student” vereer ‘n “Lewenslange student” wie se leergierigheid en innovering ‘n voorbeeld is vir almal in die onderwys, het ‘n FAK Prestige toekenning ontvang. Me. Sussa Ehlers, onderwyser by Laerskool Louis Trichardt, se volgehoue betrokkenheid op die voorpunt van die onderwys en haar passie vir haar beroep en haar leerlinge is erken met die oorhandiging van die HB en MJ Thom-onderwysprys. Dit is ‘n gesogte onderwystoekenning vir uitnemende bydrae in die onderwys. Ehlers ontvang dié toekenning tydens ‘n FAK Prestige toeken-
ningsgeleentheid op 28 Oktober 2011 in die Centurion Teater. Prof. Danie Goosen, voorsitter van die FAK, het uitgewys dat Ehlers verlede jaar die graad B.Ed in Onderrig en Leer met lof behaal het en deur die Noordwes Universiteit se Potchefstroom-kampus aangewys is as die beste student in die kursus. Goosen het ook gesê dat Ehlers ge­ reeld opknappingskursusse bywoon en haar onderrigmetodes in lyn bring met wêreldwye tendense en dit baseer op die nuutste navorsing oor effektiewe onderrig en leer. Ehlers was ook die organiseerder van Limpopo se ATKV redenaarskompetisie. “Alhoewel die HB en MJ Thom-onder­ wystoekenning verkieslik toegeken word aan jong onderwysers, is Sussa - te midde van 31 jaar se onderwysondervinding - ‘n uitstekende ‘jong’ wenner!” het Goosen gesê. Ehlers het die skoolhoof, mnr. Louis Linde, bedank vir die vertroue wat hy in haar gestel het om haar aan te beveel vir die toekenning. “Dit was vir my ‘n groot eer en voorreg om myself te kon meet teenoor die maatstawwe van die hoogs bekwame onderwysers landswyd. In my onderwysloopbaan was daar hoogtepunte wat baie vir my Me. Sussa Ehlers is vereer met die HB en MJ beteken het, maar hiThom-onderwysprys tydens die FAK Prestige- erdie een is vir my baie toekenningsgeleentheid op 28 Oktober.

items wat aan die einde van die oorlog saam met die krygsgevangenes van St Helena na Suid-Afrika gekom het. Na die bootreis van 2 750km, was die grootste oomblik die neerlê van ‘n bos loof en blomme by die monumente van die boere wat dood is op St Helena. Marius het die kranslegging gedoen. In 1913 het die destydse Unie van Suid-Afrika twee granietmonumente as gedenkpilare na St Helena gestuur. Daarop verskyn die name van al die oorledenes saam met hulle ouderdomme, wat wissel tussen 16 en 61 jaar. “Ons het ook grafte van die kinders van Dinizulu besoek,” sê Inga. Die Zoeloe leier, Dinizulu, arriveer in 1890 op St Helena saam met sy twee ooms en verskeie vroue. Die eiland se beroemdste gevangene was sekerlik Napoleon Bonaparte. Die verslane Franse keiser het in 1815 aangekom en in 1821 daar gesterf. Die Suid-Afrikaanse groep, wat die reis per boot na St Helena in Augustus onderneem het, het bestaan uit die Gilfillans, prof. Louis Changuoin, Linda Wilkinson en Jan en Marijke van Braak. Verlede jaar het die van Braaks, wat in Holland woon, ‘n krans vanuit Louis Trichardt by die gedenkpilare gelê en ‘n gedig aan die “Helden van Zuid-Afrika” voorgedra. Die Zoutpansberg Skermutseling- en Erfenisstigting nooi almal wat meer oor St Helena wil weet, uit na ‘n Generale-aand op 19 November, wat sal handel oor genl. Cronjé, wat ‘n krygsgevangene op St Helena was.

CA officially objects to renaming process An official objection against the changing of the name of Louis Trichardt to Makhado was submitted to the office of the Minister of Arts and Culture. A 16-page objection, accompanied by more than 400 pages of supporting documentation, was sent to Pretoria this week to be presented to Minister Paul Mashatile. The objection was made by the Chairpersons Association. The date of the objection is 8 November, in time for the objection period which expires on 14 November. “The name Makhado is offensive to the Shangaans, some of the Venda people and the Afrikaans and English people,” is stated in the objection. The reasons given were that Makhado was seen as a murderer, who not only killed many Shangaans, but was fuming to kill his brother. Makhado was cited to have said about his brother Davhana (also known as Tabana) that if he could find him, he would capture him and “put him in a wet skin of a cow, hang him up in a tree and let him rot there, catch up his juices” and pour it over his father’s grave (Twintig Jaren in Zoutpansberg, 1865-1885 by Stephanus Hofmeyr). In contrast, Louis Tri­ chardt reflected “a symbol of peace amongst cultural groups”, the CA argues in its objection. Louis Trichardt and Rasithuu Ramabulana (the father of Makhado) “were the first example of cooperation between leaders of different cultural groups, finding peace in South Africa,” the CA states. The CA summarises its objection under two points. Firstly, there “was no consultation process as to whether a need existed to change the name of the town. Like with the previous process, which was set aside by the Court, the Makhado Municipality blindly followed instructions from above to change the name of the town for political reasons and expediency.” Secondly, no proper and adequate consultation process was conducted at all as to what the “new” name of the town should be. The CA asked the Minister to endorse their objection and motivated it with 25 reasons, including their perspective on Makhado and Louis Trichardt. “Makhado attacked Afrikaans people not because he was anti-white but because he was antiChristian,” the CA states and says that, in contrast
to the peace-seeking and anti-imperialist Louis Trichardt, Makhado was “a warrior who caused a lot of suffering and pain, which is offensive to many cultural groups”. The fact that the Makhado Municipality did not honour their undertaking to draw up and implement a policy in respect of cultural heritage is mentioned. Since there was no policy document, the name change “was emotionally and politically driven and not rationally from a cultural-heritage point of view,” argues the CA. The CA states that Louis Tri­chardt is not a correction of any town name and that it is “not offensive”. The town was founded by General Piet Joubert around 1898 as the original town of Louis Trichardt, where it is today. The CA states that the town where Makhado lived and where he was expelled to by his father “because he was a troublemaker” was called Tshiruluni, near Hanglip. “He never lived in Louis Trichardt or in the area of Louis Trichardt ... The changing of the name destroys respect and is contrary to reconciliation and polarises the people in the area,” reads the CA’s objection. Procedurally, no ad­ mi­nistra­tively just procedures were followed, says the CA. The Makhado Municipality embarked on a so-called election process and not a consultation process. “The same people had been transported per truck from one ward to another to bring out the same votes repeatedly, “states the CA . “The processes followed by the Makhado Municipality, the Provincial Names Committee as well as the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC) were “flawed and corrupt in law”, reads the document. The CA feels strongly about the fact that all the organs had not been transparent at all “by hiding documentation and information from the CA and other stakeholders.” They also once again object to the inclusion of Adv Tommy Ntsewa on the SAGNC, since it was cited in the Appeal Court that he had the mindset that “a consultation process will not make any difference”. “If our objection is not endorsed, we shall go to court to have the name change reviewed,” said Mr Andre Naudé, chairperson of the CA.
“The name Makhado is offensive to the Shangaans, some of the Venda people and the Afrikaans and English people,” says CA
Petitions against the name change of the town Louis Trichardt to Makhado were launched after the Minister of Arts and Culture had published the name change in the Government Gazette of October 14. A total of 6 462 signatories signed the petition in two weeks. By Linda van der Westhuizen
Thousands say they were not consulted Petitions against the name change of the town Louis Trichardt to Makhado were launched after the Minister of Arts and Culture had published the name change in the Government Gazette of October 14. As a reason for changing the name to Makhado, Minister Paul Mashatile said: “A request had been received from the Makhado Municipality to change the name and all necessary processes had been followed in terms of the South African Geographical names Council.” Those signing the petition confirmed that they had not been reasonably consulted in a bona fide manner and that a proper and fair administrative process had not been followed. They also confirmed that changing the name of the town would affect the region adversely and that the money could be better spent for proper service delivery and the empowerment of poor people. Petitions circulated for about
two weeks had to be handed in to the Chairpersons Association (CA) by November 4. The CA won the appeal court case when the name of the town was changed to Makhado the first time round and the name change had to be set aside. A total of 6 462 signatories signed the petition. That is about 1 500 more signatures than the first time round. “The Hlanganani Concerned group handed in 3 294 signatories, if I am not mistaken. We found the time restriction of two weeks difficult. If it were not for that, we could nearly have doubled that,” said the group’s spokesperson, Mr Jeffrey Gohell. Mr André Naudé, chairperson of the CA, explained that 5 021 signatories are from the region and 1 441 from other regions. “This is a matter in the interest of the nation, not only the region. Nowhere in the country should cultural groups be polarised nor cultural goods be destroyed,” Naudé said. He expressed the
same sentiment as Gohell that the time restriction prevented them from getting many more signatures. The time restriction was due to the fact that any objection to the name change had to be made within 30 days of the publication of the name in the Gazette. The CA wanted to add the petition lists to the objection. “We are not happy about the whole name-change process. We say that the municipality has actually sent a wrong report to the minister, who believes them. We regard it as one-sided information from the side of the municipality that did not consult all the people. People are not against change, but change should not be brought about through ‘kangaroo consultation’ where people are hoodwinked that the government wants the name to be changed. A name change should come from the people themselves, and not the municipality forcing the people to change the name,” Gohell said.

Cope says Speaker is silencing them The Congress of the People in Louis Trichardt is accusing the Speaker of the Makhado Municipality of denying its councillors an opportunity to express themselves during council meetings. In a statement this week, Cope's regional chairperson, Mr Geoffrey Tshibvumo, accused the Speaker, Mr David Mutavhatsindi, of harassing and intimidating Cope councillors in council. He added that Mutavhatsindi failed to adhere to and enforce council rules with regard
to the nomination of ward committee members. He also abuses the powers of the Speaker to intimidate opposition members, expel council members from duly constituted settings of council and thwart debate and discussion on predetermined agenda items. He further states that on numerous occasions the Speaker has allowed complete changes in the executive committee recommendations at council meetings "to an extent that new motions are adopted without testing them against recommendations from
Exco." The speaker, David Mutavhatsindi, denied the allegations and said that if councillors had questions, they should direct them to Council and not the media, in terms of the standing rules and orders. "We have taken all councillors to an induction so as to ensure that all councillors understand how Council runs, but it seems as if Cope councillors did not learn anything. Tshibvumo is out of order.

“Meneer die makelaar, gee asseblief ons hardverdiende geld terug”
at ‘n hartseer onderwerp om oor te skryf, maar as ‘n mens direk geraak word, is dit my plig om mede persone of voornemende beleggers, wat hulle geld wat hulle hard voor gewerk wil belê, te waarsku. U moet tog verstaan dat daar persone met ‘n baie mooi voorkoms en baie gladde mond (of noem dit maar bek) gebore word – so ‘n persoon wat baie maklik ‘n rat voor baie persone se oë kan draai, soos byvoorbeeld die twee makelaars wat tans in Durban op klagte van bedrog, diefstal en geldwassery teregstaan. Jammer om te sê, maar hier in ons dorp (u sal onthou) was en is daar ook sulke makelaars – party met tragiese gevolge – wat mense steeds belieg en bedrieg. Makelaars wat hulle as kinders van God voordoen en ook op kerkrade dien. Ek wonder hoe sulke makelaars voel as hulle die Bybel lees, veral oor hoe God voel oor lieg en bedrieg, of slaan hulle sulke gedeeltes oor? Solank hulle sakke vol is van
bloedgeld en julle jul luukse motors, huise en plase kan geniet, voel julle vere vir ons wat tans ‘n sukkelbestaan voer. Ek en baie ander persone in ons dorp is tans die prooi wat gevang is deur ‘n gladde bek en as jy die makelaar konfronteer, word jy gedreig dat jy al jou hartverdiende geld kan verloor en tevrede moet wees met ‘n karige rentekoers. As daar dalk vanaand ‘n Hemelwese voor u verskyn en aan u vra “Wat het jy aan jou medemense gedoen?” sal jy soos Gehasi van ouds antwoord “Ek het niks gedoen nie en het ‘n skoon gewete”? Meneer die makelaar, al wat ons vra is: Hou maar die karige rente en gee net ons geld wat julle by ons ‘geleen’ het terug! Mense, dink baie mooi voordat jy ook gevang word – die media is vol sulke onreëlmatigheid. Jammer, ek was ook onnosel. - Daan Snyman (Louis Trichardt)

Wat is jou standpunt in verband met sonde? Markus 9:42-50
lke mens moet ‘n standpunt inneem in verband met sonde. Die regte standpunt is Rom. 6. Sterf vir sonde sodat jy lewend kan wees vir God. Dit is nie iets wat mens self bereik nie, maar wat God in ons en vir ons doen. Daarom het ons niks in onsself om oor te roem nie, ons roem is in Jesus Christus. Met dit in gedagte kom ons kyk na die Skrif om te sien wat God ons wil leer oor die regte stundpunt oor sonde. Wees bereid om die minste te wees. Mark. 9:35. Johannes die Doper sê in Joh. 3:30: “Hy moet meer word, en ek minder.” Gal. 5:24-25: “Die wat aan Christus behoort, het hulle sondige natuur met al sy hartstogte en begeertes gekruisig. Ons lewe deur die Gees, laat die Gees nou ook ons gedrag bepaal.” Wees bereid om deur God gesout te word. (v. 49-50). Ons begeerte na reinheid moet so sterk wees dat dit nie saak maak as ons vermink word nie. (v. 43-47). Sout bewaar, werk verderf tee en gee smaak. Heb. 12:4: “Julle het nog nie so teen die sonde weerstand gebied dat dit vir julle ‘n stryd om lewe en dood geword het nie.” Besluit self watter vuur vir jou die aanvaarbare een is; God se vuur van beproewing waardeur ons gelouter word (v. 49) of die vuur van die hel. Wees bereid om in vrede te leef met ander (v. 50). Hoe? Deur nie te twis nie. Twis openbaar ‘n dieper siekte van die siel. Kol. 4:6: “Wat julle sê, moet altyd vriendelik wees en va goeie smaak getuig; en julle moet weet hoe julle elkeen behoort te antwoord.” Anders word jou sout laf en beteken niks. - 079 5168303

Preparations are underway for the multi-billionrand changing of Venetia Mine’s current openpit mine to an underground mining process. This can effectively extend the mining operations at South Africa’s largest producer of diamonds for a further 30 years. Venetia mine north of the Soutpansberg opened on 14 August 1992 with an estimated mine life of 20 years. The Venetia cluster comprises 12 groups of one kimberlite bodies. The two largest pipes are currently being mined in a single open-pit operation which will probably cease between 2020 and 2023. As part of Venetia Mine’s long-term strategy, the mine intends to exploit resources deeper than the current open-pit horizons by changing to an underground mining process. Mining could then be extended up until 2050.

Gold for gogo during Golden Games A 71-year-old gogo from Musina made everyone proud when she won a gold medal during the national Golden Games that were held recently in Bloem­fontein. Gogo Elsie Sebola became the overall winner in the 100m, outrunning more than 200 competitors during the competition. The competition, organised by Sports and Recreation SA, is aimed at encouraging healthy lifestyles for the aged. Elsie’s fame dates back when she won the Vhembe District and Limpopo Provincial competitions,
giving her an opportunity to participate in the national competition in Bloemfontein. She is a member of the Musina Gogo Getters group, which encourages healthy living among the elderly. Elsie says she knew she was going to win because she is full of courage and does everything wholeheartedly. “During the district competitions, I told my colleagues that I am going to win and the same went on with the provincial competitions. I will continue making my community proud because I am prepared to scoop more
awards in future. Since I started engaging myself in athletics three years ago, I no longer suffer from illnesses and it keeps me healthy and strong.” She encourages other senior citizens to take part in sports. “Sports builds friendship, keeps us healthy and unifies us.” Mayor Carol Phiri says she is proud of Elsie’s achievement. “Young people should learn from her that sports keep us fit and healthy. We are very proud of this old lady and we have no doubt that she will keep on putting us on the map.” Gogo Elsie Sebola (71) is congratulated by Musina Municipality´s sports officer, Nyarai Ngobeli (left), after her achievement in Bloemfontein.

Dynamos fall further behind in league Dynamos’ chances for taking the league title to Giyani at the end of the National First Division season are fast becoming slim. They dropped more league points last weekend when they played to a goalless draw against Witbank Spurs at the Puma Rugby Stadium in Witbank. The visitors from Giyani wasted numerous scoring opportunities in the game. Although Dynamos were superior in terms
of ball possession, the scoreboard was still blank at the end of the match. Dynamos are now lying in the ninth position on the log, following a string of poor results. Carara Kicks shared the spoils with the title chasers, Thanda Royal Zulu, at the Charles Mopedi Stadium. They scored one goal apiece. United FC shocked University of Pretoria when they held them to a goalless draw at the Botsha-
belo Stadium, while Sevutsa Stars crushed their neighbours, Mpumalanga Black Aces, 3-0. FC AK continued to collect vital points, following their 1-0 victory over Atlie FC at the Eldorado Park Stadium. Chippa United donated points to Bay United. They lost 1-2 at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. Vasco da Gama lost 1-3 to FC Cape Town and the pace setters, Blackburn Rovers, lost 0-1 to African Warriors.
