frustrate local motorists
By Isabel VenterRoad works on the Louis Trichardt/Thohoyandou road continue to frustrate local motorists.
Last week, the Zoutpansberger reported on
motorist’s concerns regarding a lack of safety
measures where road works are being done. There
was more than one local motorist who felt that there
is no effective control at the road works. After the
article was published, more readers came forward
with similar complaints.
“I use that road on a daily basis. It’s a disaster.
The controllers are somehow not communicating

you would meet other cars in the same lane,” wrote
Mr Thapelo Mohlake on the Zoutpansberger’s

he was on his way to Louis Trichardt to meet with

confirm that the project, which will entail the resurfacing of the national route R524 Section 1 from
the N1 to Mahodlongwa (km 35.8) and Section 2
from Basani to Punda Maria Gate (km 34.6), is
expected to be finished by June this year.
In the meantime, Reverend Petrus Kriel, this
week again complained to the Zoutpansberger
about his frequent near misses traveling on the road

through on a single lane. He uses the road daily,
traveling between Levubu and Louis Trichardt.Rowers slaan toe(Vervolg van p. 1)

By Andries van Zylimplementation manager for the Musina/Makhado
SEZ, working on contract basis for the Limpopo
Economic Development Agency (LEDA).
Fenn assured the local business fraternity that
the SEZ is coming to the Soutpansberg. “We are
going to be developing over the next thirty years.
We already got R40 billion invested. That is the
first phase. In the end of the day, we are looking
at an investment of over R400 billion.” Fenn said.
He, however, touched lightly on the exact details
of the project, stating that within the next four to
five weeks, he will sit down with the Chamber of
Commerce to give a detailed explanation of theproject and to address doubts and possible fears.
Another contentious issue highlighted by residents during the evening, was whether the project
will indeed create 20 000 job opportunities “as
advertised”, the argument being that if the Chinese
are to invest that amount of money, then surely they
would want to bring in their own skilled workers?
“We are very aware of the foreign stake in the
local market,” Fenn said, adding that government
is aware of the fears and are addressing the issue
of jobs through agreements. “They must use local
people. If they say: No, our spinoff is that we train
people, this training can’t stop after six years. You3must train on a continued basis. And you don’t just
train gardeners and operators. We would like to see
engineers, business people, medical staff and things
like that,” Fenn said.
Ms Lulama Tshabalala, a member of the Limpopo Tourism Agency’s executive for tourism and
marketing who also attended the evening, added to
Fenn’s comment, stating that indeed government
does take the issue of local job creation seriously.
“The Limpopo government said no, you are not
bringing your own people,” said Lulama. She added
that the provincial government has good plans in
place to protect local jobs.While many residents eagerly await the realisation of the Makhado/Musina Special Economic
Zone (SEZ) as approved by government in July
last year, others remain very sceptic about the
The Makhado/Musina SEZ is reported to attract an investment of more than R40 billion for
the establishment of an energy and metallurgical
industrial park near Mopane between Louis Trichardt and Musina. The industrial park will include a
power plant, as well as coking, ferrochrome, ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, pig iron metallurgy, lime,
steel and stainless steel plant. The investment is to
be made by Chinese company Shenzhen Hoi Mor
Resources Holdings Ltd. They signed a cooperation
agreement regarding the Musina/Makhado SEZ
with the Limpopo Economic Development Agency
(LEDA) on July 28, 2016, in Beijing.
Many residents may, however, remember the
huge fanfare that was made in March 2003 when
the Makhado Municipality signed a twinning
agreement with the city of Dandong in the People’s
Republic of China. Part of this agreement entailed
a R103 million investment by the Chinese for the
establishment of a colour steel and sheet metal
factory in Louis Trichardt’s industrial area. The
area was to be developed as an industrial park.
Back in 2003, the colour steel project was paraded as one of the municipality’s flagship developments. Boasting some 200 local job opportunities,
the factory was supposed to be fully operational
by January 2004. To date, this development is just
another example of a “white elephant” deal. With
the municipality flogging off 14 of their industrial
erven, comprising 14,4ha at a price of a mere R288
000 back then for the construction of the factory,
the property is today still as barren and undeveloped
as the day it was sold.
To shed more light on what exactly government
has planned regarding the SEZ, the Soutpansberg
Chamber of Commerce held a business evening With the Makhado Municipality flogging off 14 of their industrial erven in 2003 for the construction of a Chinese colour steel factory, the property

het, volgens die broers, met die renosterhoring

opgedaag om dit te weeg en te verkoop. Hulle was
van plan om die inligting van Reuben se onwettige
aktiwiteite te deel met ‘n polisie-informant, maar
het nooit so ver gekom nie.
Muchagowa het Donderdag sy borgaansoek
afgehandel, waarna kapt. Dave Retief vir die Staat
begin getuig het. Hy het getuig oor ‘n voorlopige
DNS-verslag wat gedoen is op die renosterhoring
wat by die bakkie uitgegooi is. Retief was ook die
een wat gestop het om die renosterhoring op te tel.
Hy het verder getuig dat Niklaas later aan hom erken het dat hy die een was wat die renosterhoring by
die venster uitgegooi het, terwyl Deon bestuur het.
Buiten vir dit, het die DNS-toetse van die horing
ooreengestem met bloedmonsters wat gekry is op
messe en ‘n byl wat die polisie binne-in die broer se
huis gevind het. Hierdie verslag het verder getoon
dat die horing wel behoort het aan die renoster
wat op Witpoortjie gestroop is. Deon het tydens
sy arrestasie, het Retief getuig, voor ‘n polisieman
erken dat hy en sy broer die renoster doodgemaak
het. Niklaas het glo die renoster se karkas aan die
polisie gaan uitwys.
‘n Tweede renoster is ook na aanleiding van die
broers se arrestasie ontdek. Retief het getuig dat
hulle ‘n papiertjie in die broers se huis gevind het
waarop GPS-koördinate geskryf was.
Die polisie het die GPS-koördinate gevolg tot
by die karkas van ‘n renoster in die Polokwane
Natuurreservaat. Dié renoster se horing is ook
gestroop. Retief het getuig dat die broers ‘n bekentenis gemaak het voor ‘n landdros dat hulle hierdie
renoster gestroop het.
Uitspraak in die borgaansoek van al drie beskuldigdes is teruggehou tot en met Mei, sodat Retief
eers klaar kan getuig vir die Staat. Al drie die mans

Another local group, the Limpopo Rhino Security Group (LRSG), that represent several private
owners in the Soutpansberg, concerned solely with
the protection of the rhino said: “All members
of LRSG are custodians of rhinos and are on the

Hy het die aand kortliks verwys na die omstandighede wat gelei het tot die mislukte Operasie
Argon in Mei 1985 waartydens twee van sy makkers doodgeskiet is en hy, ook swaar gewond,
deur Angolese magte aangekeer is. Hy is daarna vir 837 dae in isolasie in ‘n Angolese tronk
aangehou, voordat hy in September 1987 vrygelaat is in ruil vir twee ANC-lede en 133 Angolese
soldate. Vir baie was sy praatjie nie wat hulle verwag het nie, aangesien hy meestal gepraat
het oor hoe hy destyds deur sy eie regering “verraai” is. Hierdie verraad teenoor hom is ook
die kruks van twee boeke, Judasbok en Josefs Kleed, wat hy oor die gebeure geskryf het. Hy
het ook ‘n derde boek, S-98, agter
sy naam, alhoewel laasgenoemde
‘n werk van fiksie is. Wynand het
ook Vrydag aangedui dat daar
binnekort ‘n nuwe boek van hom,
wat hy tydens sy aanhouding in
die Angolese tronk geskryf het,
die lig sal sien. In die middel voor
staan Wynand. Links van hom
staan Old Bill Alan Odendaal van
die Turbi Hills Shellhole en regs
van hom staan MOTH Len van
der Walt wat instrumenteel was
om Wynand na Louis Trichardt
te nooi. Saam met hulle staan
lede van die plaaslike Turbi Hills

E-pos: palmdrankwinkel@gmail.comInwoners van regoor die land, insluitend die
Soutpansberg, het verlede week die sosiale media aan die gons gehad oor ‘n aardbewing wat
nie net regoor die streek gevoel is nie, maar ook
regdeur die land.
Dit was die tweede aardskudding om Suid-Afrika te tref op Maandag, 3 April. Vroeër die
oggend is ‘n aardbewing naby ‘n goudmyn in die
Klerksdorp-omgewing aangemeld wat 4.6 op die
Richterskaal gemeet het. Dié skokgolwe is gevoel
in Gauteng, Noordwes en die Vrystaat.
Kort voor 20:00 op 3 April het Louis Trichardt
se inwoners die aardtrillings ervaar van ‘n aardbe­
wing wat Botswana net noord van Gaborone getref
het. Die skaal was 6,5 en was op ‘n diepte van 35
km, volgens ‘n Amerikaanse Geologiese Opname.
Inwoners was vinnig om die draak te steek met
“Aardbewing op Blouberg ... maar klink my dit
was baie wyd, dalk die Rand wat geval het,” was
mnr. Johan van Wyk van Blouberg Natuurreservaat
se blitsige inskrywing op Facebook met verwysing
na President Jacob Zuma se skielike skommeling
van sy kabinet.
‘n Inwoner van Louis Trichardt, Josie de Lange,
het die volgende laat weet op die Zoutpansberger
se Facebook-blad: “In oudorp. Ek het gevoel mystoel maak so snaaks maar gedink dis my klein
hondjie wat op die bank agter my stoel lê en vlooie
krap. Het met haar geraas maar dit het aangehou.
Ek het opgestaan maar sy was nie op die bank nie.
Het weer gaan sit en stoel het nog so gebewe. Kon
nie verstaan nie maar gedink dis my verbeelding.
Eers later ‘n WhatsApp gekry om te hoor of ons
ook die bewing gevoel het. Eers toe het ek besef
dis wat ek gevoel het op die stoel. ‘n Aardbewing.”
“Het dit hier in Louis Trichardt gevoel terwyl
[ek] op die bank ontspan [het] voor die televisie.
Het ook opgemerk dat my huis fisies geskud het,
en het ook klank gehoor wat geklink het soos ‘n
swaar voertuig of iets terwyl die huis geskud het,”
het Rudolph Nortjé laat weet.
Erika Burger Ackerman het laat weet dat hulle
eers gedink het hulle is besig om hul varkies te
verloor. “Net buite Louis Trichardt op Levubu-pad
[het] hom redelik sterk gevoel, gedog ons raak mal
toe als om ons begin bewe.”
Gelukkig is daar geen berigte ontvang van enige
skade wat aangerig is deur die aardbewing nie.
Hierdie is die tweede keer wat ‘n aardbewing
gevoel kon word in Louis Trichardt. In 2006 kon ‘n
kragtige aardbewing, wat Mosambiek geruk het, se
skokgolwe ook hier gevoel word. Dié aardbewing
se episentrum was 224km suidwes van Beira (die
bekende Mosambiekse hawe) en het 7.5 op die
Richterskaal gemeet.Remember to book for visit to KNP
NoticeVisitor management is a vital part of ensuring
the best possible experience for all visitors to
Kruger National Park over the coming Easter
Weekend from 13 to 17 April.
With this in mind, South African National Parks
(SANParks) reminded day visitors to the Kruger
National Park (KNP) that daily quotas will once
again apply at the entrance gates. Visitors are urged
to make pre-bookings for their visits prior to their
arrival and there are three time slots, namely 06:00
to 08:00, 08:00 to 10:00 and from 10:00 onwards.
“The day visitor quota for the park is a management tool to maintain the carrying capacity of the
park and is always in place throughout the year,
though we turn to emphasize during long weekends
and holidays because of the volume of visitors we
usually get during those times,” said SANParks in
a press release. Visitors will be able to book up to
80% of day visitor quota per gate via SANParks
reservations offices and online at www.sanparks.
org. Pre-booked day visitors will get preference
over non-booked day visitors at the gate.
“For busy periods, such as the Easter Holidays,
we aim to better manage the volumes that we
expect, as well as our visitors’ expectations. The
three different time slots are aimed at improving
the spread of vehicles and, as far as possible prevent unnecessary waiting periods at gates”, said
Mr William Mabasa, SANParks’ acting head of
Pre-booked day visitors must ensure that they
arrive within the time slots, as per their reservation. Arriving outside the booked time slot, will
be regarded as non-booked and therefore will not
receive preference. These bookings can be changed
as well through SANParks Reservations offices iffor some reason one decides to do so.
Mabasa also reminded visitors to read the permits
which they receive at the gates, because all the rules
and regulations of the park are clearly stipulated
on these documents. “Please do not bring liquor
with you because the alcohol ban on public areas
in the Park is a permanent rule which is enforced
at all times. Other park rules are intended to ensure
a safe and enjoyable experience and hence must
be adhered to at all times whilst in the park with
special emphasis on adherence to speed limit and
littering,” Mabasa advised.
Day visitor pre-bookings are subject to a non-refundable booking fee of R38 per adult and R19 per
child. Day visitors who have pre-booked will still
be required to pay conservation fees or use a valid
Wild Card to enter the Park. The conservation fee
for SA residents is R76 per adult and R38 per child
between ages 2 to 11.

houertjies gebruik is?
Deur Isabel Venter‘n Paar eienaardige artefakte wat onlangs ont­
dek is in die Soutpansberg, het inwoners aan
Foto’s van die ontdekkings is aan die Zoutpansberger gestuur met die hoop dat daar lesers sal wees
wat kan help om dit te identifiseer.
Daar is eintlik twee van hierdie yster goetertjies
gekry. ‘n Besoeker aan die area, mnr. Willem Pelser, wat ‘n geskiedenisentoesias is en graag in sy
vrye tyd daarvan hou om vir artefakte te soek, het
die ontdekking gemaak in die Wylliespoort-area.
Met die eerste oogopslag lyk die ontdekkings
amper soos sinkertjies wat vir visvang gebruikword. Hulle is amper vier-en-‘n-half sentimeter
lank en ongeveer twee sentimeter breed. Die artefakte het, net soos ‘n bottel, ‘n boepens en word
dan al nouer aan die bo-kant. Hulle is ook heeltemal
hol aan die binnekant.
Foto’s van die aardige “sinkertjies” is aan ‘n
paar boekkenners gewys in die hoop dat iemand
dit sal kan help kan identifiseer. Tot dusver is daar
egter nog nie ‘n positiewe uitkenning gemaak nie.
Plaaslike historikus, mnr. Charles Leach, het gesê
‘n goeie begin is om meer navorsing te doen oor
die Musina kopersmelters.
Lesers wat kan help met die identifikasie van die
“sinkertjies” kan met die koerant skakel by Tel 015

Road SafetyFor those planning to travel long distances by
car during the holiday season, tyre safety should
According to Arrive Alive, failure to attend to
tyre safety is a vital factor in thousands of road
accidents every year. Furthermore, research by
(CSIR) indicates that nearly 20% of accidents
involving minibuses have tyre failure as a contributing factor. It won’t help if you have the best brakes
on the market, but your tyres are worn.
Stacey Davidson, director at REDISA (Recycling
and Economic Development Initiative of South
Africa), says there are small habits that motorists
can adopt to help remain safe on the roads. Theseinclude checking tyres regularly for punctures,
cuts and bulges. “You also need to take extra care
when travelling during the holiday period because
of increased traffic volumes, congestion, fatigue
and people driving in unfamiliar environments,”
said Davidson in a press release.
Davidson believes that improving driving ha­bits
and tyre maintenance will go a long way towards
saving lives during the Easter period. Before you
get into your car and head to your destination, follow these tips to make your travel a safe and pleasurable experience for you and others on the road:
Check your tyre pressure on a cold start
or before a long journey
You’ll find the correct pressure for your vehicle
in your operating manual, under your fuel cap, on
the inside of the door or in the cubbyhole.If your tyre’s side wall is damaged,
Check regularly for any signs of irregular wear,
any sharp objects lodged in the tread and any cuts,
tears, cracks or bulges. Check for damage or uneven
wear on all four tyres, on both sides of the tyre and
on the wheel rims.
Under-inflated tyres use more fuel, so
You’ll need an accurate pressure gauge. Take off
the dust cap on the valve, fix on the pressure gauge
and make a note of the result. If your tyre needs
extra air, you should inflate it using an air pump atBRIEWE / LETTERS

is over-inflated according to the pressure chart, you
can allow air to escape whilst the dust cap is off.
Check that your tyre pressure is correct
Never rely on the eyeball method to gauge air
pressure in tyres. Next to the vehicle’s brakes, the
tyres are the most important safety parts of your
car. If there is an imbalance in the tyre pressure
there could be a risk when braking and negotiating
corners. In addition to putting you at risk of an
accident, poor tyre pressure can also affect fuel
economy, comfort and the life of the tyre.Ek is ... die Weg, die
Waarheid en die lewe
Johannes 19:28-37.Vrydag herdenk ons weer die kruisdood
van ons Verlosser en Saligmaker, die
Here Jesus Christus.
Hoe word Hy ‘n verlore sondaar se Redder?
Johannes 1:12 sê: “Maar almal wat Hom
aangeneem het, dié wat in Hom glo, het Hy
die reg gegee om kinders van God te word.”
Kol. 2:6 leer ons: “Aangesien julle dan Christus Jesus as die Here aangeneem het, moet
julle in verbondenheid met Hom lewe.”
Hoe kan ‘n mens seker wees dat dit waar is
in jou lewe? Die Skrif gee sekere waarhede
om onsself aan te toets.
1. Liefde vir God. Luk. 10:27 + Ps.42:2.
2. Bekering van sonde. Ps. 32:5 + Spreuke
3. Ware nederigheid. Jak. 4:6,10; Ps.
4. Liefde vir gebed en God se Woord. Luk.
18:1; Ef. 6:18; 1 Pet.2:1-3.
5. ‘n Nuwe lewe. 2 Kor. 5:17.
6. Afskeiding van die wêreld. Jak. 4:4.
Dit is ‘n paar riglyne uit die Bybel. Ons
kan verseker weet dat ons uit genade gered
is as gevolg van Christus se offer aan die
kruis, want Johannes skryf in 1 Joh. 2:3: “En
hieraan weet ons dat ons Hom ken: as ons Sy

with areas of Hlanganani and Malamulele to
form the new municipality entity, Lim 345, are
blaming President Jacob Zuma for their woes.
The residents, whose area has suffered losses
amounting to more than half a billion rand when
schools and other properties were set alight and
damaged during violent protests last year, have on
Friday joined the countrywide chorus that Zuma
must be removed as president of the country. The
residents say Zuma is taking sides in the Vuwanistalemate, by keeping quiet as if nothing was
happening, but he took an active interest when the
people of Malamulele were protesting to have their
Speaking on condition of anonymity, residents
said Zuma had visited the area of Malamulele
during the height of the protests and promised them
that government would intervene.
“Soon after that, the Demarcation Board ruled in
favour of the people of Malamulele. He can do the
same here, but because he is corrupt to the core, he
is selling the people of Vuwani out,” they added.
“The honourable thing he can do is step down
and maybe a new president would be interested in
solving this problem,” said a community member.

spokesman, Mr Nsovo Sambo said the residents
have vowed to continue with a shutdown until their

By Prudence BopapeSeveral reports were received on Wednesday
of workers in the Vhembe district unable to go
to work because of the nationwide bus strike.
It does seem, however, that the strike did not
have a dramatic impact on commuters in the
northern parts of the country. It was mainly
commuters using Great North Transport, that
According to the marketing and business manager of Great North Transport, Mr Patrick Monkoe,
their buses were not operating on Wednesday. He
expressed the hope that everything will continue
as usual the following day.
“We apologise to all our customers and hope the
situation will be resolved sooner rather than later,”
he said. He added that they are at present locked in
discussions with the South African Transport and
Allied Workers Union and other unions to help
minimize the effect of the strike. They are alsonegotiating with the drivers individually.
Ms Tintswalo Rikhotso, who travels from Basani
near Bungeni to Louis Trichardt, said that she was
unable to go to work on Wednesday, as the bus that
she normally catches around 6:00 did not show up.
A visit to the Thohoyandou bus rank, the main
rank in Thohoyandou, showed that all companies
were operating and drivers reported for duty. The
drivers transported their passengers as usual and
went to the Sasol garage in Thohoyandou where
they held a meeting with the employers. Commuters say they fear that if the talks do not go well they
might have to seek alternative transport when they
knock off from work.
In Mamvuka village, Mulaudzi Bus Services
were operating in the morning. Commuters weren’t
sure if the buses will pick up them later in the day.
Most of them were delighted to see the buses in
According to reports, buses were fully operating
in the Kutama and Sinthumule areas.Groot pryse te wen tydens Bonanza

die pad vanaf Beitbrug tot Kaapstad aandurf. Die
fietsryers hoef gelukkig nie die hele 2 200 kilometer

Sowat twee dosyn groepe sal die oggend om

geneem het en weer van die weste na die ooste.
Volgens Oom Jakkie is die doel van die projek
