Die polisie voer nou die ondersoek verder, nadat boere van die Alldays-omgewing twee vermeende renosterstropers op die plaas van Johan Kruger vasgetrek het. Foto: Facebook, Stanley Pieterse.

Vele hande maak nie net ligte werk nie, dit het ook verseker dat nog vier vermeende renoster-stropers agter tralies is.
Skaars twee weke nadat drie vermeende renos-terstropers vasgetrek is by Eckland Safari’s, het boere van die Alldays-omgewing gewys hulle kan net so goed saamwerk toe hulle vier stropers op die plaas van mnr. Johan Kruger gevang het. Bure, vriende en die polisie het tot Kruger se hulp gekom, nadat ‘n dragtige renosterkoei op sy plaas gedood is vir haar horings en nog een gewond is.
Die vier verdagtes wat op Kruger se plaas aangekeer is, is tussen die ouderdomme van 36 en 41, maar hulle identiteit word weerhou op versoek van die polisie, omdat die ondersoek nog in ‘n sensitiewe stadium is. Drie van die vier het Maandag in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof verskyn, terwyl ‘n vierde, wat later aangekeer is, in die Seshego Landdroshof verskyn het. Drie is Suid-Afrikaners, terwyl een glo van Mosambiek afkomstig is.
Twee van die vier verdagtes is verlede Donder-dag op ‘n buurplaas van Kruger opgemerk waar hulle onder ‘n boom gelê en slaap het. Nadat hulle op die vlug geslaan het, is ‘n massiewe soektog van stapel gestuur.
Kruger se prokureur, mnr. Hennie Erwee van
Musina, het Donderdag, kort nadat die mans gevind en gearresteer is, bevestig dat die verhoor-afwagtende Dawie Groenewald (sien meegande berig) ook gehelp het met die soektog. Groe-newald, wat ‘n goeie vriend van Kruger is, het sy eie helikopter beskikbaar gestel om die soektog vanuit die lug te doen.
Teen Donderdagmiddag is die net om die twee voortvlugtende verdagtes nouer getrek, en hulle is op Kruger se plaas gevang.
Provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder kol. Ronel Otto het bevestig dat ‘n .375 jaggeweer met ‘n knaldemper, ammunisie, ‘n bebloede jagmes en twee renosterhorings by die mans gevind is.
Ná nog verdere ondersoek is die ander twee mans vasgetrek. Een is glo die broer van een van die verdagtes wat op die plaas vasgetrek is en het die ontsnappingsvoertuig bestuur.
Alhoewel die arrestasies wyd verwelkom is, is dit lank nog nie die einde van Kruger se stryd nie. Die Zoutpansberger het vroeër vanjaar berig oor Kruger se jaarlange stryd met die Staat om die moratorium op die handel in renosterhorings opgehef te kry. Hy het ook ‘n aansoek gebring dat sekere dele van die Wet op Biodiversiteit se regulasies oor beskermde of bedreigde spesies hersien en ongeldig verklaar word.

The Makhado Municipality is going to implement the contro-versial new valuation roll on 1 July this year.
The most recent valuation roll for the period 2014 to 2018 is dreaded by many in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) because of the outrageous valuations of many properties, in some cases four times the market value.
The municipality was asked whether possible corrections that needed to be made to the valuation roll would affect the implementation date and the answer was “no”. It seems as if the higher property rates based on the recent valuation roll will be bulldozed through. Higher rates, in all cases, based on a dispropor-tionate valuation, in many cases, will result in a big chunk out of the already burdened ratepayer’s pocket.
The new tariff for property rates that will appear on the account is .0064 instead of the .0061 for the past financial year for a residential property. The first R23 440 of the value of every residential property will be dis-counted. This constitutes a 5% in-crease from the previous financial year’s discounted amount. Many ask why the value of properties should then be increased with 100% to 400%?
One home owner whose house is more than 30 years old had a shock when his house was valued for R3.6 million, while the selling price in the area is not more than R900 000. This owner will now have to fork out an annual R23
040 on rates (R3.6m multiplied by .0064) with a small discount of R150 for the year or R12.50 per month. His monthly payment on property rates will be R1 920 before the small discount. This home owner immediately filed his objection, one of the first of the 800 objections that streamed in. He had not been contacted by the municipality for a re-val-uation.
The owner of a residential property valued for R1.3 milion, will pay about R680 every month after discount. That is, of course, besides the other increases on the monthly municipal account.
This could be bad news for home owners below Rissik Street, where many properties had been inaccurately valued in the R1 million to R1.5 million price bracket, and even up to R2.6 million. These and other discrepancies in the valuation roll had given rise to a public outcry. A professional valuer said that the roll as such made no sense and an experienced estate agent said that it was not a true reflec-tion of the market value. The Soutpansberg Ratepayers Asso-ciation attempted to discuss the “incorrect” valuation and flaws on the valuation roll as a whole at a municipal steering committee meeting, but they were silenced when they wanted to point out how unprofessional the valuation had been done.
“There is no challenge with the current valuation roll concerning its correctness and professional quality,” said the Makhado Mu-
nicipality in a media statement dated 4 June.
“Many individual objections concerning plus minus 800 prop-erties had been received by the municipality. What does that indicate to the municipality concerning the valuation roll as a whole?” was a question asked by the Zoutpansberger. The municipality answered that it showed that people had respond-ed to their media article. “It is an indication that members of the public have responded to the article calling for objection which was advertised on 14 February in the print media ... The municipal-ity appreciates the response by community members,” was the answer. The Municipal Property Rates Act’s section 50 was quot-ed, where clause 2 reads that an objection must be in relation to a specific individual property and not against the valuation roll as such and clause 6 states that “the lodging of an objection does not defer the liability for payment of rates beyond the date determined for payment”.
The tariff for property rates that will appear on the accounts of all industrial and commercial businesses will be .0097 and that for agricultural and rural area land .0016.
A rebate of 45% will be de-ducted from the market value of qualifying senior citizens, 60 years or older, where his or her total income must not exceed R66 718 per year with the in-come and pension of the spouse included.

Die renoster-saak teen sake-man Dawie Groenewald en sy nege medebeskuldigdes sal na verwagting in Julie vanjaar in die Noord Gauteng Hoog-geregshof voortgaan.
Groenewald en sy mede-beskuldigdes is vier jaar gelede in hegtenis geneem op klagte wat verband hou met grootskaalse onwettige jag en onthoring van renosters.
Die ander beskuldigdes is Groenewald se vrou, Sariette (37), twee veeartse, Karel Toet (49) en Manie du Plessis (40), Toet se vrou, Marisa (41), Nardus Rossouw (45), Tielman Erasmus (36), Dewald Gouws (28), Paul Matoromela (64) en Jacobus Marthinus Pronk (51).
Groenewald, die eienaar van Out of Africa Adventurous Sa-faris, word volgens die klagstaat daarvan aangekla dat sy besig-heidsaktiwiteite wettige en on-wettige bedrywighede ingesluit het. Hy en sy medebeskuldigdes sou glo renosters onwettig ont-horing, gejag en onwettig besit of verkoop het.
Al 10 is in Oktober 2011 aan ge kla op 1 872 klagtes, wat onder meer insluit permit-oor-tredings, geldwassery, onwet-tige jag en die handel in en die verkoop van renosterhorings, asook oortre dings van die Wet op Biodiversiteit en die Wet op die Voorkoming van Georgan-iseerde Misdaad. Daar is ook aanklagte wat verband hou met
die onwettige besit en vervoer van olifanttande, pogings tot regsverydeling en die onwettige jag van ‘n luiperd.
Groenewald-saak hervat weer in Julie

(Contd from P1)At 12:37, the smoke cloud could be seen as far as
Mountain Inn on the N1 north as it steadily spread over town. (See picture). At the store, fi refi ghters battled alongside the local police and members of the Soutpansberg Town Watch to contain not only the rampant fi re, but also the growing crowd of spectators who gathered right in front of the burning building.
At that stage, the curious crowd were taking cell-phone pictures of the building, which sounded like a war was in progress on the inside as merchandise caught fi re and exploded.
The fi re suddenly took a turn for the worse at around 12:45 when the roof of the building explo-ded, sending burning pieces of fl aming corrugated iron tumbling to the ground. The fi refi ghters had to remove their fi retruck quickly to avoid getting crushed by the burning rubble.
During this time, a struggle was going on to open a petrol container to ensure that it did not catch fi re. Fortunately, this tank was empty and did not pose any further risk.
The crowd, however, made it diffi cult for rescue
personnel to manoeuver on the scene. At one stage, shortly after the fi rst surge by the fi re, the police had to drive back the crowd, who tried to plunder open businesses bordering the burning CheckOut. Business owners had opened their shops at around 12:45 to salvage their stock, loading whatever they could on anything that had space and wheels. The prospective looters were, however, quickly driven back by the local police.
At 12:50, a second explosion from the burning building ensured that all looting was reserved for later.
It took a huge effort from the Makhado Fire Sta-tion, the Phoenix Flying Squad and the Makhado Air Force Base’s fi re brigade to bring the fi re under control eventually. Their efforts were hampered by low water pressure in the municipal fi re hydrants. Fire trucks had to suffi ce and had to keep replen-ishing their water supply to subdue the fi re.
Building owner Mr Satar Aboo said on Monday that it was diffi cult to determine the exact value of the damage caused by the fi re. “We will have to wait for the investigation to be completed, and only then will a strategy be determined for a way forward,” he said.
In the meantime, CheckOut, which has been the tenant of the building for almost 12 years, is currently underway with arrangements to ensure that its 50 odd employees will have a livelihood after the fi re.
In addition, Sunday’s low water pressure at CheckOut will not be subjected to an investiga-tion. The spokesperson for the Vhembe District Municipality, Mr Ralushai Matodzi, confi rmed on Wednesday that the water supply to Makhado (Louis Trichardt) had been functioning on Sunday. He was unwilling to comment on the apparent low pressure of the water supply. “The Makhado Fire Brigade, when they realized that the pressure was low, called for back-up; this is in line with the training that they received,” said Matodzi on Wednesday. “Everybody knows the water issue in town [Makhado/Louis Trichardt] is improving by the day,” he added.

Die prystrekking vir Laerskool Louis Trich-ardt se jaarlikse kaskarkompetisie het verlede Woensdag plaasgevind.
Die wenklas was die Graad 3 X’e van mev. Sussa Ehlers, wat ‘n hele naweek by die Eiland gaan deurbring. Hulle het gemiddeld R630 per kind ingesamel.
Individuele kinders wat geskitter het met die boekieverkope het kontantpryse gewen. Die wen-ners was Dian van Tonder, Jurgens Kotze, Ruan Cronjé, Annika Smit, Melinda van der Westhuizen en Brandan van Wyk.
Frik du Preez was die gelukkige wenner van die kompetisie se eersteprys - ‘n seevakansie by Jef-freysbaai vir twee weke, insluitend ‘n brandstoef-toelaag van R3 000, geborg deur DDH-Boerdery van Waterpoort (Dawie en Hermien Kotze).
Die tweedeprys, ‘n naweek wegbreek vir twee mense by die nuwe Moditlo River Lodge in Hoed-spruit en ‘n brandstoftoelaag, is gewen deur Ilze Lee. Acutts se prys wat hulle geborg het vir ‘n sewe-dag vakansieverblyf vir ses mense, met ‘n R1 000 brandstoftoelaag, is gewen deur mev. A van der Walt. ‘n Tien-dag wegbreek vir ses mense by Munster, naby Margate, is gewen deur N. C. Mabaso.

Karin Odendaal het die agsteprys gewen – vier bande en wielvellings geborg deur Du Toit’s Bande Levubu. ‘n Naweek jagpakket, insluitende akkommodasie by Mattanja Lodge vir ses mense, is gewen deur Pieter Senekal.
Sanri du Plessis het die tiendeprys gewen, ‘n jaar-lange gratis lidmaatskap by die hoërskool se nuwe gimnasium, wat deur Felix Malan geborg is. Manda Deyi, wat die elfdeprys gewen het, kan R2 000
Ontbossing word ernstig aangepak deur in-woners van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) ná nog ‘n misdaadgeval, en ‘n brandvereniging bied ook hulp aan.
Celliersstraat se inwoners is fluks besig om die berugte koppie oorkant hulle skoon te maak. Dié digbeboste koppie was onlangs die toneel van ‘n wrede moord, asook ‘n selfmoord, en bied skui-ling aan misdadigers.
Die Grasdak Gastehuis het hul ontbossings-poging verskerp na ‘n inbraak in ‘n voertuig op 5 Junie. Die voertuig het aan ‘n kliënt vanaf Upington behoort en sy beursie met geld en kaarte, tjekboek, ID dokumente en paspoort en ‘n gereedskapkissie is gesteel. Die voorval het helder oordag plaasgevind. “Die bloed het van sy arms afgeloop soos wat hy deur die digte bosse probeer beur het om die rower agterna te sit,” het me. Annette du Preez, eienaar van die Grasdak, gesê. Die SAPD het vingerafdrukke kom neem.
‘n Werknemer en tydelike werker van die Grasdak Gastehuis het skuins oorkant hulle ‘n skoongemaakte kol in die bos ontdek vanwaar diegene wat in Erasmusstraat en Cellierstraat (in beide rigtings) beweeg, maklik dopgehou kan word. Die twee werkers spring nou elke naweek in en ontbos en brand bietjies-bietjies terwyl hulle toesig hou. “Ek gaan die onkostes aan, want ‘n mens wil jou plek beskerm,” het Du Preez gesê.
Mnr. Daan Enslin het ‘n groot area op die hoek van Celliers- en Songozwistraat laat skoonmaak, want mense gebruik dit as ‘n plek om vullis te stort. “Hulle het ‘n bietjie opgehou om hulle gemors hier te kom gooi. Die mense het ook van hierdie plek ‘n toilet gemaak. Hier het ‘n klomp gure goed gebeur,” het Enslin gesê . Hy het 20 groot sleepwaens vol vullis weggery. Die skoon-maak gaan met heelwat kostes gepaard. Enslin het ‘n petrol boomsaag aangekoop en ook baie
geld aan gif spandeer om die indringer sekelbosse te bekamp. Een van sy werkers, mnr. Rudzani Rambau, het gesê dat dit hom drie maande ge-neem het om sover te ontbos. Ander inwoners van Cellierstraat werk ook aan die gedeeltes oorkant of langs hulle erwe. “Die ontbossing hou ook ‘n brandgevaar van die huise weg,” het Enslin gesê
Die bosse is klaarblyklik digter as gewoonlik omdat meer reën en minder brande digter plante-groei veroorsaak. “Die droë wintertyd van 2012 het met baie brande gepaardgegaan. In 2013 was alles redelik vogtig in die wintertyd en hierdie jaar is dit ook lekker nat,” het Mnr. Juan-Ray Greyling van Steven Lumber Mills gesê. Greyling, wat ook bestuurder van sommige Working on Fire (WoF) spanne en waarnemende basisbestuurder van die Zoutpansberg Fire Association is, het genoem dat ‘n strook van 20 meter reg rondom ‘n area skoongemaak kan word, waarna ‘n beheerde brand in so ‘n beboste gebied ‘n moontlikheid is.
Intussen het mnr. Louwrens Brits, ‘n spesialis van Working on Fire in alle soorte brande in Polokwane, gesê dat WoF kan kom help om digbeboste dele te brand om die brandgevaar te beperk.
Waar digbeboste gedeeltes voorkom, soos oorkant Pretoriusstraat, of waar inwoners nie hul weg oopsien om die ontbossing self aan te pak nie, kan die gemeenskap vir Brits nader. WoF sal skriftelike toestemming benodig van die eienaars van die grond waar gebrand word. Die gemeenskap kan ook ‘n vragmotor en ‘n bakkie beskikbaarstel om WoF se onkostes te verminder.
WoF word deur die staat befonds en dit is moontlik dat so ‘n projek as ‘n gemeenskapspro-jek kan deurgaan. Brits is bereid om alles te kom verduidelik indien lede van ‘n gemeenskap ‘n behoefte daaraan het en hy kan geskakel word by 071 355 6255.
Inwoners werk hard om hul huise veilig te maak
Mnr. Daan Enslin het ‘n groot gedeelte by die hoek van Celliers- en Songozwistraat laat skoonmaak. Hier staan sy werknemer, mnr. Rudzani Rambau. Maar hoe nou gemaak met mense wat nie vir so ‘n projek kans sien nie? Indien hulle ‘n gemeenskapsvergadering reël, is mnr. Louwrens Brits van Working on Fire bereid om aan die gemeenskap te kom verduidelik hoe WoF moontlik kan help. Brits kan geskakel word by 071 355 6255.
Robokopters of drones word al ‘n geruime tyd in die bekamping van renosterstropery en veë- en wilddiefstal gebruik. Volgens die Specialiced Tactical Tracking Unit (STTU) is robokopters ‘n baie effektiewe hulpmiddel om renosterstro-pers vanuit die lug op te spoor.
‘n Aankondiging verlede week dat robokopters met gemonteerde kameras deur die Suid-Afri-kaanse Lugvaartowerheid verbied is, is egter slegte nuus vir spoorsnyers.
Die SACAA het aan die media bekend gemaak dat dit voortaan onwettig sal wees vir enige TV-nuuskanale en produksiespanne wat doku-mentêre films maak, om robokopters te gebruik. Volgens hul verklaring wil die SACAA meer tyd hê om die gebruik en benutting van robokopters in Suid-Afrika te ondersoek om toepaslike regulasies daarvoor neer te lê
Hector Mountany van die STTU wat in Thaba-zimbi gestasioneer is, vertel dat renosterstropery soos ‘n vloed Lephalale en ook Thabazimbi getref het. “Daar word nou daagliks spoor gesny om stropers in die gebied te probeer vastrek.” Volgens Mountany het renosterstropers hulle aandag op hierdie deel van die Waterberg begin vestig omdat sekuriteitsmaatreëls in die Krugerpark onlangs opgeskerp is. “Dit wil voorkom of die Bosveld vir hulle ‘n maklike teiken geword het.”
Mountany meen dat die verbod op die filmin-dustrie rakende robokopters meriete dra. “Ons verstaan dat daar duidelike regulasies moet wees. Die STTU het egter nog geen opdrag ontvang om die gebruik van drones te staak nie. Tot tyd en wyl sal ons voortgaan om dié effektiewe hulpmiddel te gebruik om sover moontlik renoster- en wildstro-pery te verhoed.”

The Duke and Duchess of Atholl returned to their home in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) some three weeks ago, following a trip to Blair Castle in Scotland during which the Duke officially opened the annual Atholl Gathering.
The 12th Duke of Atholl, Bruce Murray, de-scribed this year’s event as very pleasant, especially seeing that the weather played along and the sun shone on Blair Castle when Europe’s only private army underwent its annual inspection. This is a task Bruce, as colonel-in-chief, has to perform every year.
Two of the Murray sons, David and Michael, formed part of the procession. Both joined this 175-year-old regiment a few years ago.
The regiment was formed after Lord Glenly-on first took a bodyguard of men to a medieval tournament at Eglinton in Ayrshire in 1839. Five years later, the Atholl Highlanders mounted guard for Queen Victoria’s stay at Blair Castle and were granted the queen’s colours. They also were granted the right to legally bear arms as a private force — an honour that remains in place today.
This year’s parade attracted widespread inter-est and the media houses that attended the event included the world’s second largest newspaper, Asahi Shimbun from Japan and the French daily newspaper, Le Figaro.
Saturday’s parade was followed by a day of sport on Sunday as the Atholl Highlanders officially opened the Highland Games to massed pipes and drums. Events included solo piping, tossing the caber, throwing the hammer, highland dancing and

the heavy-weights competition.On his return to Makhado (Louis Trichardt), we
asked the Duke of Atholl about the uniforms the soldiers wear and also about the significance of the insignia and golden eagle feather worn by the colonel-in-chief.
“The soldiers, NCOs and officers all wear a sprig of juniper in their hats, called a Glen Garry [The Garry is a river that runs through the Atholl estate].
“In the old days, before metal badges, each clan used a plant for a badge and, typically, it would have been endemic to their turf and easily recognizable by their fellow soldiers. This system of identification was crucial in battles where there was little other uniform,” he explained.
It is customary for the commander to wear a feather that makes him stand out from the rest of the soldiers. “Interestingly, in Canada, where I have a lieutenant to represent me at Highland functions, a citizen may not own an eagle’s feather,” he says.
Another interesting piece of clothing worn by the regiment is the plaid, which resembles a beautifully coloured blanket. This is different from the more common kilts worn by the Scottish.
“Kilts are a relatively modern invention – be-fore that the Highlanders only wore a ‘blanket’ or more correctly a plaid. This would be ditched before battle for the obvious reason that it would seriously hinder free movement. That Highland-ers went naked into battle may also explain why potential invaders of Scotland were terrified of doing hand to hand combat with the Scots,” Duke Murray explains.

Last year, the Sumbandila Schol-arship Trust and Ridgeway College were represented in four major cities across the world as part of the Cash and Rocket tour.
The Sumbandila logo adorned 35 luxury cars alongside luxury brands such as Valentino, Roberto Cavalli, Via Geneva, Bentley and many more as they toured cities such as Barcelona, Cannes, Florence and Rome. There to represent Sumbandila and Ridgeway was college principal Ms Leigh Bristow.
The Sumbandila Scholarship Trust is a non-profit organisation in the field of secondary education which provides both full scholarships to private schools
as well as an educational outreach pro-gramme to impoverished rural children in the Vhembe District. The Sumbandila Scholarship Trust operates in partnership with Ridgeway College and the Study Trust.
“This year, we are honoured to be part of the Cash and Rocket race from Venice to Geneva, Paris and ending in London. Our flag will be flying at the Arc De Triomphe and we will be the only South African charity to participate,” said Bristow. Accompanying Bristow in the car this year will be well-known South African poet en actress Lebo Mashile. Lebo made her acting debut in the Os-car-nominated film Hotel Rwanda and
performed at the inauguration of former president Thabo Mbeki.
The Cash and Rocket tour is not a race of speed but rather a race of raising money. Every contribution, no matter how large or small, counts. Persons wishing to make a donation can visit the JustGiving website at https://justgiving.com/cashandrocket-team32.
Donations can also be given to Elaine Waller and Ridgeway College, who will issue a receipt.
Electronic transfers can be made into the Sumbandila Scholarship Trust account, Standard Bank, branch code 052549, with account number 200248464.

Een van die dorp se bekende en geliefde inwoners, Matty Jacobs (65), is na ‘n kort siekbed oorlede.
Soutpansbergers sal haar onthou as tannie Matt van Turner’s, die besig-heid waarvan sy en eggenoot Hannie vir baie jare die eienaars was.
Matty het borskanker oorwin en was vir 10 jaar in remissie, totdat sy ongeveer ‘n maand gelede met beenkanker gediagnoseer is. Sy is op 5 Junie in die Zoutpansberg Pri-vaathospitaal oorlede.
Matty is as een van ‘n tweeling op 22 Mei 1949 in Booysens, Johannes-burg, gebore en het grootgeword in Suidheuwels. Hier in Johannesburg het sy ook die liefde van haar lewe ontmoet. Nadat Hannie en Matty get-roud is, het hulle na Dendron verhuis waar hulle ‘n paar jaar geboer het. Later het hulle hulself permanent in Louis Trichardt gevestig en het baie jare op die plaas Ten Trees gewoon.
Haar familie en vriende sal Matty onthou vir haar spontane vriende-likheid en opregte omgee. “Haar positiewe gesindheid en onselfsug-tigheid was vir ons ‘n inspirasie en ‘n voorbeeld vir ander. Sy het al die uit-dagings wat die lewe haar gebied het, gekonfronteer en deurgewerk en nooit gaan lê nie,” sê haar kinders. “My lief, ons moeder en ouma, ons harte is stukkend, maar vol dankbaarheid dat ons hemelse Vader jou ‘n lang lyding gespaar het sodat jy waardig kon gaan, soos wat jy gelewe het. Die aarde het een sagte siel minder,” skryf Hannie, die kinders en kleinkinders.
Wyle Matty Jacobs se roudiens is op 11 Junie deur ds. Ronel Eckard in die Hervormde Kerk waargeneem. Matty laat haar eggenoot, Hannie, kinders Linda en Howard, Vic en Kotie, Matty, Louise en Theo en kleinkinders Jessica, Samantha, Jo-han, Matty en Louis, agter.
Die familie bedank graag drs. Anneke Malan en Anton Stroebel, tannie Maud, die personeel van die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal en almal wat hulle in hierdie moeilike tyd bygestaan het met ‘n bord kos, ‘n SMS, drukkies en blomme.

Deur Linda van der Westhuizen
Stefan Corbett, onderhoofseun van Laerskool Louis Trichardt, het nie alleen in twee sport-soorte Limpopokleure nie, maar is ook ‘n redenaar om mee rekening te hou.
Stefan verdien provinsiale kleure as ‘n redenaar, nadat hy deur die ATKV gekies is om aan die landswye finaal deel te neem.
‘n Man moet kan kook was die onderwerp van Stefan se voorbereide toespraak op 29 Mei by die Limpopo redenaarskompetisie (‘n semi-finale rondte) van die ATKV. Hy het in Polokwane aan die Graad 6- en 7-kategorie vir Afrikaans huistaal deelgeneem.
Stefan het aangevoer dat ‘n man moet kan kook, omdat vroue ook deesdae werk om die pot aan die kook te hou en mans hulle bydrae moet lewer. ‘n Man wat professioneel kan kook, het ook baie opsies vir ‘n suksesvolle loopbaan.
In die onvoorbereide afdeling het Stefan gesê dat Bulletjie-rugby nie verbied moet word nie, omdat dit ‘n kind laat ontwikkel en ‘n goeie manier vir pa’s en hul seuntjies is om saam te ontspan. “Dit het vir my geklink of die ander kinders baie beter as ek in die onvoorbereid praat, maar ek het seker die dinge waarop die beoordelaars let, beter gedoen,” sê Stefan. Hy het glad nie verwag om genooi te word om op 14 Augustus op Buffelspoort in die nasionale finaal te praat nie. Hy gee al die krediet vir sy onderwyser en afrigter, me. Karin de Wet. “As dit nie vir haar was nie, het ek nie eers die semi-finaal gehaal nie,” sê Stefan.
De Wet sê op haar beurt dat Stefan baie hard-werkend en pligsgetrou is. “Hy het fyn geluister na wat ek gesê het en dit toegepas. Stefan het baie opgeoffer deur oor naweke te kom oefen. Sy ouers
se ondersteuning is ook van onskatbare waarde,” het De Wet gesê.
Stefan het verlede jaar die vierde keer Limpopok-leure vir stoei verwerf. Hy is ook laasjaar gekies as die loskopstut van die provinsiale O/12A-rug-byspan.
“Om na die finaal te gaan, is ‘n groot gebeurtenis vir my. Die skool sê ook dat dit die eerste keer in die geskiedenis is dat ‘n Triegie in Graad 6 en 7 Afrikaans huistaal aan die finaal deelneem,” het Stefan gesê.
Stefan spog ook nou met Lim-kleure in redenaars
Stefan Corbett, wat gekies is om aan die finaal van die ATKV se landswye redenaarskompetisie deel te neem.
Hierdie drie redenaars van Laerskool Louis Trichardt het baie goed presteer deur tweede-, derde-, of vierdeplekke by die Limpopo ATKV redenaarskompetisie te verwerf, maar is nie gekies vir die ATKV finaal nie. Hulle is, van links na regs, twee redenaars in Graad 6 tot 7 Afrikaans eerste addisionele taal, Precious Ramabulana (tweede) en Sally Machochi (derde). Suandrie Corbett (regs) was vierde in Graad 6 tot 7 Afrikaans huistaal.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe
Psalm 139: 7-12
Hierdie gedeelte leer ons dat ons niks vir God kan wegsteek nie. Ons kan
nie van Sy teenwoordigheid wegvlug nie. Daarom vra Dawid in vers 7: “Waarheen sou ek gaan om U Gees te ontvlug?”
Dawid antwoord dan die vraag deur te sê God is oral. Ons sonde kan nie vir Hom weggesteek word nie.
As ons altyd bewus was dat God alles sien en hoor sou ons meer gehoorsaam gewees het aan God se gebooie. Maar, onthou altyd die rede waarom Christene gehoorsaam is aan God se gebooie is omdat ons Hom en Sy Seun, Jesus Chris-tus, liefhet.
Liewe leser, dink aan die komende oordeel. Hoe sal dit met jou wees daardie dag? Sal jou sonde jou hel toe sleep, of is hulle vergewe en vergeet deur God?
Het jy al jou vertroue en geloof in Jesus Christus gestel vir jou saligheid?
Die weg van saligheid is alleen te verkry deur Jesus Christus, ons Here. In Johannes 14:6 sê Jesus: “Ek is die weg, die waarheid en die lewe. Niemand kom na die Vader toe behalwe deur My nie.

Ten spyte van al haar goeie bedoelings, het Daisy dit toe weer gaan doen ... sy het verdwyn. Vandeesweek se bydrae oor die lief en (hopelik minder) leed van Daisy het teen druktyd nog nie opgedaag nie. Sy het nie gereageer op ‘n navraag nie, maar ons is nie te bekommerd nie. Ons vertrou sy sal volgende week terug wees om jammer te sê.

Brief
The ladies of Ladies Circle 4 would like to start by thanking KFC for their generosity towards LC4 and the Kremetart Kiddies Race the past weekend in Makhado (Louis Trichardt). Thank you also to Renda Alexander for trusting us with the Kiddies Race, and thank you for all your hard work in making this a big success. A special thank you to the Agora Ladies and the girls of LC4. Thank you for your support. Without you, this race would not be possible. Thank you, Mal Jan from Jacaranda FM, for being a good sport and helping with everything. You are a star. There were 88 entries in total. – Riana Otto (chair of Ladies Circle 4). Photo supplied.
The roads in Limpopo suck!! Even in my 4X4, the roads from
Botswana to Johannesburg were so severe that I thought I would lose a tyre. These are tar roads, not dirt.
My ongoing dealings with Jonas and others from the Department of Roads and Transport about another poor section of road near Hoedspruit has left me with one conclusion – these guys are duckers and divers and no one is prepared to take a decision about repairing the roads, compensating for tyre and ve-hicle damage, let alone the clearing of shoulders which in and around Vaalwater and surrounds look like common bushveld.
I am beyond breaking point and frustration levels about this department’s perpetual and incom-prehensible incompetence has left my blood pressure gaining new highs. Recently, near Vaalwater, I had to swerve to avoid warthogs which had dashed out from under the heavy bushveld now growing on the verge. We pay our taxes, we are entitled to receiving reasonable road maintenance.
I recently managed to gain access to the back offices in the Roads De-partment in Polokwane, only to find teams of people shouting at the top of their voices, slouching in their chairs and lazily scribbling on grub-by bits of fatty paper while phones rang off the hook. I wanted to show
one of the so-called decision makers a picture I had taken of the condi-tion of the verges on one stretch of road near Polokwane, one very belligerent senior official shrugged his shoulders and said they were doing the best they could and prom-ised to deal with the matter within a few months. A year later, the same stretch of road has been untouched and is still as dangerous.
Road gangs employed to clear the shoulders walk around noncha-lantly, dragging their hoes and grass cutters behind them while tea breaks seem to be long and frequent. I have seen these orange-clad overweight ladies showing little interest in work and more interest in lunch and tea breaks.
Despite the previous govern-ment’s failings I have to say the roads in Limpopo NEVER looked like this. Thank you, ANC for yet another pothole. Is this all you can possibly do? Oh yes, you can spend fortunes on street-name changes and renaming of towns but basics like road maintenance are way off your agenda.
What a poor advertisement for Limpopo.
Simple thing to fix, huge returns on PR, industry growth and business opportunities.
But I guess, tell someone who cares.
- Philip Coetzee (Gauteng)
So sit die kêrel regoor my aan die tafel. Altyd bly dit aangenaam om
op dikwels vervelige sosiale geleent-hede tog in interessante gesprekke betrokke te raak. Veral as die ander gesprekvoerder jou belangstellings op verskeie fronte deel en beslis weet waarvan hy praat.
Kan jy glo? Die vorige dag het RSG ‘n program op die lug wat die vleissituasie in Suid-Afrika bespreek. Ongelukkig word toe net die bemarkers van rooivleis spreekbeurte vergun en word toe net reklame vir vleis gedoen, instede van die aanspreek van vele pro-bleme. Veral “Karoo Lam” word toe erg opgehemel en wragtig ... die volgende dag is sogenaamde lamsvleis in kettingwinkels gemerk “Karoo Lam”.
Vanuit ons gesprek hierna, kom ‘n paar belangrike feite na vore:
Dat die totale land se bevol king in die netwerke van onderskeie kettingwinkels vasgevang is, bly ‘n klinkklare feit. Die dag wanneer gebruikers in eendragtigheid saam-staan, kettingwinkels sal betig wat die gehalte van sommige produkte betref, sal ‘n wonderlike dag wees.
So byvoorbeeld is verpakte duur lamsvleis in die meeste gevalle, wanneer die plastiekverpakking
verwyder word, onderhewig aan ‘n bedompige reuk wat selfs na afwassing nie verdwyn nie.
Heelwat van sogenaamde “lams-vleis” is so taai dat dit eintlik ou skaapvleis blyk te wees.
Varksnitte bly steeds ‘n ernstige probleem daarin dat heelwat van die verpakkings, sleg reukende beervleis is.
Wanneer laas het ons ‘n behoo-rlike smaakvolle ryp tamatie, aan die stoel ryp geword, tot genieting gehad?
Wanneer laaste was spanspekke van sodanige gehalte dat jy dit kan ruik op kopente of dit wel behoorlik ryp is?
Die meeste boomvrugte is alles hopeloos te vroeg gepluk en is rubberagtige, suur produkte.
En is mens wonder ... Wat het einde laaste van die sogenaamde “Kampioen Wors” resepte geword? Na afloop van die kompetisie, is die wors wat verkoop word, baie ver van kampioen gehalte verwyder.
Grabouw, Kameeldoring, Kala-hari of wat ookal te koop aangebied word, moet eintlik genoem word “Probeer Wors.” Gesellige braai, mense ...

(Contd from P16)One other challenge was a bad Internet connec-
tion during Stage 2 of the race, which resulted in cyclists’ race times not being recorded properly. The following race report and results are made available with the kind cooperation and permission of Team BestMed ASG (elite women) and Team Bonitas Pro Cycling (elite men).
The fi rst major accident occurred mere meters from the fi nish of Stage 1 when Desray Sebregts, Chante van der Merwe and Chrisel van der Merwe from Team BestMed ASG hit the deck at high speed. Sebregts and Van der Merwe were injured to such an extent that they had to pull out of the race and be taken to hospital.
Another accident occurred shortly after the turn on the R521 on Stage 2, when the elite men group crashed into each other. This crash took Team EuropcarSA’s Calvin Beneke out of the lead (af-ter Stage 1), giving team Bonitas Pro Cycling an opportunity to push for top fi nishes. By the end of Stage 2, Bonitas had two cyclists on the podium – Herman Fouché (fi rst) and HB Kruger (third). Nolan Hoffman (Team Abantu), who won the 2013
Kremertart, managed to fi nish second in this stage.HB Kruger managed to take top honours in the
race during Stage 3, when he beat Beneke by more than two seconds and fi nished ahead of David Ma-ree (Team Abantu). David Maree fi nished second overall, with Beneke third.
In the women’s category, Team BestMed ASG dominated the winner’s podium, despite the major setback they suffered during the crash at the end of Stage 1.
Top honours went to Charlene Roux, who came fi rst in two of the three stages of the race. Her team mates, Carla Oberholzer and Juanita Venter, fi n-ished the race second and third respectively overall.
This year marked the 25th anniversary of the Kremetart Cycle Race. It also saw two paracylists competing in the 175 km event for the fi rst time. Barend Coetzee, who travelled all the way from Kato in the Northern Cape (not on his bicycle), completed the race with fellow paracylists and friend Euvrard Geldenhuys.

Kremetart 2014 is a real challenge for cyclists
A young cycling star from Makhado (Louis Trichardt), Marco Roets (right), took another podium finish during the past weekend’s Kremetart 70km race. Marco fi nished second overall in a time of 01:47:47, a mere second behind the winner of the race, Joshua Buchel, who fi nished in 01:47:46.
Team mates Tony Cloete (front) and Riaan Naudé from Team SAAF Champs were not the only cyclists who opted for the trail route (that is pushing your bike along the race track). Although this year’s Total MTB Bike XCO race offered a beautiful track, it was extremely technical.
This year’s Mountain Bike XCO was not for the fainthearted, with a route that was full of tricky turns. Kombo Bere, local cycling star, fi nished fi rst overall in his category. His fastest lap time was 00:18:28.
Christaan Roos, previously from Makhado (Louis Trichardt), also competed in the weekend’s Total MTB Bike XCO race. He fi nished fi rst in the men’s U/23 category.

Barend Coetzee (front) and Euvrard Geldenhuys are two friends and paracyclists who competed in this year’s 25th annual Kremetart Cycling Race. It was the first time ever that paracyclists competed in the Kremetart.
Kremetart full of action

It was a cold start for this year’s Kremetart Cycle Race.
The Soutpansberg was once again abuzz, with cyclists from all over South Africa converging on Makhado (Louis Trichardt) to take part in the annual PPC Kremetart Cycle Race.
Although the entries drew almost 500 fewer cyclists than last year, the 175 km one-day event still attracted a couple of top names and teams in South African cycling circles, with both the men’s and women’s categories being fiercely contested.
This year, the 175 km race was decided
over three stages, instead of the usual four stages, because the Vivo road did not form part of the route. The organisers decided to opt for a route change because of the bad state of the Vivo road.
The new route was, however, not the only challenge cyclists had to face. Heavy crosswinds caused several accidents along the Waterpoort road, as well as on the new route that stretched from Waterpoort along the R521 road.
