STANDERTON - The Democratic Alliance will request the Public Protector (PP) and the hawks to investigate R21 million that has not been paid over to Lekwa Local Municipality. This is in relation to an escrow agreement the municipality entered into contravening legislation. This resulted in millions of rands going missing.

The DA has learned that Lekwa Municipality has contravened all relevant legislation which prohibits the municipality from entering into an escrow agreement. This agreement was made with Makgadji Printing and Projects for installation, testing, maintenance, operation and the upgrading of electricity and water management services.

According to municipal documents, an amount of R 35 587 million was deposited into an escrow account from September 2015 to May 2016 with only R14 429 million paid over to the municipality. The information also reveals that on 26 May 2016 the Chief Financial Officer requested that an outstanding amount of R21 158 million, held by the service provider, be paid over to the municipality by 27 May 2016. This is once again a clear indication of corrupt elements within the ANC led government.

The Democratic Alliance had requested a meeting with the service provider including the CFO in order to investigate this matter, however the service provider failed to turn up. In a meeting held on 11 June the Speaker refused the DA from asking the CFO questions

relating to the legality of the escrow account and the outstanding R21 million, as a result this meeting ended up in chaos.

Instead the meeting was moved to the next Council Meeting, which will be the last of the present Council prior to the local elections, chances are this money will not be accounted for.

The Speaker’s ruling is nothing more than delaying tactics in an effort to hide the truth. The ANC cannot be trusted with public money.

The DA believes that what is important is finding the right mix of government spending priorities, making government spending and operations efficient and responsive to the needs and concerns of the people of Lekwa and ensuring that government spending is as close to an optimum level as possible.

It is time to vote out a corrupt government, who does not care for the people who elected them into power. We must take away that power. The people of Lekwa must vote for change in the upcoming local government elections by voting for the DA.

Change that will improve their lives, cut corruption and deliver better services. (Media statement issued by Cllr Rosier de Ville, Chief Whip of the Democratic Alliance in the Lekwa Local Municipality and Cllr Pierre Schnetler, Caucus Leader of the Democratic Alliance in the Lekwa Local Municipality) JD

Public Protector approached about missing R21 million

STANDERTON - Members of the K9 Unit issued a stern warning to drug dealers found to be in possession of drugs. The warning? “Deal in drugs and you will end up behind bars.”

Following a tip-off from members of the community, the SAPS acted swiftly and raided a RDP house in Extension 6 on Friday, 10 June. Two suspected drug dealers were arrested with a haul of mandrax tablets of which the value is not known but suspected to be huge.

The SAPS confirmed that a 24-year-old female and 26-year-old male were charged with drug dealing and will appear in court in due course. “Police will leave no stone unturned when dealing with drug dealers. Cases of house breakings and burglaries are rising due to the demand for cash by drug addicts in order to satisfy their cravings,” Lieutenant Johannes Nhlabathi said. He commended members of the community who continue to provide the police with information about criminal activities in their residential areas. DM

Information was received about this Toyota vehicle that was involved in an accident on the Secunda road on 12 June at about 19:00. As far as could be determined there were eight passengers in the vehicle. One passenger died on the scene while three passengers sustained serious injuries and four sustained minor injuries.

STANDERTON - Inwoners van Coligny-straat het na vier dae steeds met hul hande in hul hare gesit nadat ‘n rioolpyp gebars het en rou riool etlike meters hoog die lug in-gespuit het. Die straat is oorstroom en mo-toriste moes noodgewonge hul vensterruite toehou om nie ‘n stortbad te ontvang nie.

Volgens inligting het inwoners die pro-

bleem aan Lekwa munisipaliteit rapporteer, maar daar het niks van gekom nie. Nadat die probleem onder Kasselman Veiligheids-dienste (KVD) se aandag gebring is, het hulle dit rapporteer, ‘n verwysingsnommer ontvang en binne ‘n uur was werkers van Lekwa Mmunisipaliteit op die toneel om herstelwerk te doen. JD

STANDERTON - During a council meeting on 24 January 2014, a decision was made to lease 29 vehicles over a term of 36 months. The Municipal Manager approved the decision to lease these ve-hicles from AfriRent, who has their headquarters in Centurion.

Three water tankers (R 84 000 per vehicle), a Honey Sucker (R90 000), one TLB (technical ser-vices at R75 000), another two TLB’s (for Parks and Gardens at R84 000 each), three double-cabs (R 18 000 per vehicle), two Hilux bakkies (R18 000 each), six single-cab bakkies (R12 000 each), five compactor trucks (R96 000 each), six Chev Cruise sedans (five for the traffic department and one for a counselor at R12 000 each) and a BMW X5 at R26 700 per month was leased. This amounts to R1 400 000 per month, VAT exclusive, being paid to AfriRent.

It has since came under our attention that Lekwa

Municipality has fallen in arrears with their month-ly installment and that some of these vehicles were taken back by AfriRent.

Questions repeatedly forwarded to the Lekwa spokesperson, Thobeka Mtshiselwa, about which vehicles were taken back, went unanswered and when AfriRent was contacted their response was that the contract between them and Lekwa was con-fidential and binding and that they are not allowed to disclose any information relating to the contract to any third party.

They also did not want to disclose if the lease amount would now be lowered after some vehicles were repossessed and if Lekwa made any arrange-ments to pay the outstanding rent.

As no indication was given on how many vehi-cles were taken back, it remains to be seen which person or departments are using their own transport or were helped to their feet. JD

Municipal vehicles repossessed

After a binding contract of 36 months entered into between Lekwa Municipality and AfriRent for the amount of R 1.4 million per month, VAT exclusive, several vehicles were taken back by AfriRent after Lekwa failed to keep their monthly payments up to date.

Rou riool spuit meters die lug in nadat ‘n afvoerpyp gebars het. Inwoners het die probleem aangemeld, maar na vier dae was daar nog geen reaksie nie. KVD het daarna die probleem rapporteer en binne ‘n uur was werkers reeds besig met hertselwerk.

“Ek is die Goeie Herder. Die Goeie Herder offer Sy lewe op vir die skape.” (Johannes 10:11 NLV). Het jy al ooit soos ‘n weeskind gevoel, al is jy omring deur geliefdes, het elke aand iets om te eet, ‘n goeie werk en ‘n dak oor jou kop?

Het jy al ooit jouself in ‘n put van depressie, eensaamheid of minderwaardigheid bevind, soveel so dat jy die put probeer vul met allerlei vermaak, plesierighede en die een of ander “ding”, met die hoop dat dit jou uit die put sal kry, net om te besef dat al hierdie ekstras jou nie uit die put help nie, maar jou eerder dieper laat sink? God het ons geskep met ‘n diepe hunkering in ons harte wat net Hy kan vul. In Psalms 107:9 belowe God dat Hy die dors les van dié wat dors is, en dié wat honger is versadig Hy met góeie dinge. Jy hoef nóóit soos ‘n weeskind te voel nie.

Jesus is vir almal wat Hom volg, soos die beste herder van wie hulle kan droom. Soos God Jesus ken, en Jesus God, so ken Jesus en elkeen wat in Hom glo mekaar. Jesus sê verder dat omdat die verhouding tussen Hom en Sy volgelinge so sterk is, Hy liewer sal stérf as om toe te laat dat Sy volgelinge iets oorkom (Johannes 10: 14-15

Where the Democratic Alliance (DA) governs like in the Western Cape and Midvaal, we lead the way in providing quality services to all their residents. We manage government spending well; find innovative solutions to the challenges we face; and make sure those resources go to those that need them the most.

The DA is committed to transparent and accountable governance. DA governed municipalities manage public money sensibly and strive to rid the cities and towns we govern of fraud. We have zero tolerance for corruption. Despite not being in power in the Lekwa Local Municipality, the DA has successfully drafted petitions concerning the quality of water. The DA in Lekwa has also been actively involved in assisting the South African Police Services (SAPS) with drug busts.

Under the ANC’s leadership, service delivery has regressed in the Lekwa Local Municipality and they are in debt of over R400 million. They owe Eskom over R200 million which has been outstanding and escalating since 2011, they owe the water-board R95 million, and they owe the department of transport R114 million. And according to the recent Auditor General’s (AG) report they received an unqualified audit with findings. Change of leadership is needed in this municipality. The DA can change the fortunes of this municipality.

Why the people of Lekwa should vote for the DA: (i) Where the DA governs, in order to stop corruption, create jobs, and deliver better services, we focus on six key areas: opportunity, responsive governance, service delivery, honest governance, redress and safety.(ii) The DA works on behalf of South Africans of all races.(iii) The DA led Western Cape is always on the top of all other Provinces when it comes to the provision of service delivery policies created by the ruling party.(iv) Nine (9) out of the 10 best performing municipalities in South Africa, are DA-led, while 19 out of the 20 worst performing municipalities are ANC-led.

Herder of góéie Herder?DB). Is jou herder die herder van hierdie wêreld, wat sê jou geluk lê opgesluit in jou eie wil, jou eie luste en begeertes?

Of is jou herder die goeie herder, Jesus Christus wat Sy skape oppas, sodat hulle geen tekort aan die goeie het nie? Die herder wat die heel beste van alles: kos, veiligheid en vrede vir Sy skape gee. Die herder wat wanneer Sy skape moedeloos word hulle die lewe weer anders, met nuwe perspektief laat sien, wat soos ‘n goeie gids Sy skape lei sodat hulle elke dag volgens Sy wil kan lewe, en almal kan sien hoe belangrik God vir hulle is.

Hulle is nie bang wanneer die lewe so donker word dat hulle nie meer weet watter kant toe nie, want hulle weet hulle goeie herder is by hulle, om hulle te troos en te beskerm, dat hulle in enige en alle omstandighede veilig sal voel. Soos ‘n gasheer sit die goeie herder, Jesus Christus, net die beste van die lewe in oorvloed vir Sy skape voor; sodat dié wat nie naby aan Hom lewe nie, verleë moet staan en toekyk.

Sy skape is geliefd deur Hom en ervaar Sy guns en goedheid tot die einde toe (Psalms 23:1-6 DB).

Niemand is gevrywaar teen tye van stryd nie, maar dié sonder die drie enige God moet hulleself uit die put stoei, terwyl dié met God net Hom in Sy volheid, in geloof kan aanroep en Sy redding as ‘n genade-geskenk kan ontvang.

Why the people of Lekwa Local Municipality should vote for the DA

(v) Where the DA governs there is always a good story to tell, and looking at when the DA alliance took over Midvaal, things have really changed and turned around: - Water provision increased from 91% to 99%.- Sanitation increased from 74.1% to 87.6%.- Solid Waste increased from 71.4% to 100%.The people of Lekwa must give the DA a chance to govern the municipality for the next five years, and if we don’t deliver better services within that space, they can vote us out.The writer is a DA Councillor in Lekwa Local Municipality in Mpumalanga.

GS College hands overnew toilets

STANDERTON - Gert Sibande TVET College held a sanitation hand-over project which was hosted by Imesebeyelanga Combined School on Friday, 27 May. The ceremony was the culmination of a project between the Department of Basic Education and Gert Sibande College to tackle the serious problem of pit-toilets in the farm schools as well as a shortage of toilets in some schools in Mpumalanga.

The hand-over marked the completion of 88 toilets in eight rural schools across Mpumalanga. Mr Thuto Lengolo, head of projects at the college said the college appointed a building contractor who together with the college students constructed and installed the toilets that will need minimal maintenance.

Consequently all toilets were fitted with stainless steel fittings, basins, sanitary ware, toilet bases, cisterns and doors. Due to the inconsistent water

supply, all schools were equipped with “Jojo tanks. Imisebeyelanga Combined School is extremely grateful to the Department of Basic Education for funding the project and to Gert Sibande TVET College for installing toilets of great quality. The school’s Principal, Ms Fikile Dhalmini, indicated that the school had two pit-toilets serving 300 students for the last 23 years. “The addition of the new flushing toilets is a dream-come-true for all staff members who feel that their dignity has been restored,” she added.

Mr Marthinus Loots, Deputy Director for Infrastructure and Information Systems in the Gert Sibande Regional Office expressed his gratitude to the college for the quality and high standard of workmanship. He added that the partnership has indeed produced high quality toilets that will last for many years to come. DM

From left to right are Mr Martinus Loots, Mr Thuto Lengolo, (GSC Head of projects), Ms Fikile Dhlamini, (Principal), Gert Maritz (Lekwa East Circuit) and Nick Balkrishen (GS College CEO).

AfriForum vra hulp

STANDERTON - Kroonstad het ‘n ernstige watertekort en AfriForum Standerton vra die gemeenskap vir hulp. Indien die gemeenskap wil handjie-bysit met die projek, kan water verskaf word in grootmaat, of in bottels maar moet sover moontlik vir menslike gebruik wees.

Die versamelpunt in Standerton vir die water is by The Guest House, Colignystraat 95. Die water gaan op Saterdag, 2 Julie, na Kroonstad geneem word. Enige donasies of bydraes is welkom. Vervoer is gewoonlik die grootste probleem en indien daar enige bystand verleen kan word, is u welkom om dié tak te skakel.

Vir enige verdere inligting of navrae, kan Eunice Mackenzie (AfriForum Standerton takvoorsitter) by 079 011 3491 of Nadia Smith (AfriForum Standerton tak-ondervoorsitter ) by 082 329 5338 geskakel word. JD

STANDERTON - Seunshokkiespelers tus-sen die ouderdomme van 12- en 16-jaar het Saterdag, 8 Junie ‘n hokkiekliniek op Hoër-skool Standerton se bane bygewoon. Daar is veral gefokus op die ontwikkeling van seuns-hokkie op skoolvlak.

Standerton se o-16’s, Secunda, Ooster-land, Morgenzon en Ermelo se o-13 Mpuma-langa Eagles was van die skole wat spelers gestuur het. Die oggend het afgeskop met tegniekontwikkeling asook raad van twee Mpumalanga afrigters - Adriaan van Jaars-veld van Morgenzon en Vusi Nkosi van Er-melo. Van die senior seuns en meisies het terselfdertyd ook die teoretiese gedeelte af-gelê vir hul skeidsregtergradering wat deur Kallie Hagemeyer van Kriel aangebied is.

Na die kliniek het die seuns mekaar in 13

wedstryde die stryd aangesê. Aangesien dit ‘n ontwikkelingstoernooi was, was daar nie wenners of verloorders aangewys nie. Ty-dens hierdie wedstryde het die afrigters raad gegee en tegnieke gewys om gedurende die spel toe te pas.

Die seniors wat vroeër die oggend hul teo-rie geslaag het, het tydens hierdie wedstryde as skeidsregters die fluitjie hanteer om vir hul prakties te gradeer.

Daar sal gepoog word om hierdie kliniek ‘n jaarlikse instelling te maak en om meer skole te betrek.

Die seuns toon baie talent en verseker dat seunshokkie in Mpumalanga se toekoms hel-der skyn. Heelwat seuns kan nie fisies rugby speel nie en die gevoel is dat dit vir elke kind belangrik is om deel van ‘n span te wees. JD

Seunshokkie se blink toekoms

Tydens die kliniek is die seuns touwys gemaak oor die fynere detail van die spel en hulle kon na afloop van die kliniek hul nuut-aangeleerde tegnieke op die proef stel.


STANDERTON - Since 2012, a leaking water connec-tion was, to no avail, reported to the local municipality. The soil at this stage is so saturated that the water does not drain anymore and a swamp in the adjacent empty stand was created. It also poses a problem to workers who have to commute through the muddy street to work.

Residents in certain parts of Kosmos Park have been complaining about not having any water and when they do have water, there is no pressure. Thousands of litres of potable water are wasted. Could this be the problem?

An employee at the Eskom facility, who is severely affected by this leak, said that water started seeping through the soil just after the new school was connected to the pipeline. The pipeline is buried almost two me-

tres deep and he is worried about the huge amount of water going to waste. He also stated that a municipal worker did at some stage inspect the water leak and promised that it would be repaired as soon as the back actor is available. This is now four years later and still nothing has been done.

According to him, this specific problem was again re-ported to a certain Mr Mfundisi of the local Municipal-ity on 30 and 31 May, and again on 3 and 6 June, only to receive empty promises.

Questions referred to the municipal spokesperson, Thobeka Mtshiselwa, by Cosmos news went unan-swered. It remains to be seen if anything will be done. JD

STANDERTON - A Family in Kos-mos Park woke up to the smell of smoke at about 02:00 on Saturday, 4 June, and when they investigated they were shocked to find their family car gutted by flames in the yard.

Lieutenant Johannes Nhlabathi reports that the car was parked next to the house when the family went to bed.

One of the family members smelled smoke and woke the other family mem-

bers, fearing that the house was on fire. They managed to put out the fire, but the car was damaged beyond repair.

Lt Nhlabathi said that when police ar-rived on the scene, the family was reluc-tant to talk about the incident.

Later that Sunday afternoon the family went to the police station to open a case of malicious damage to property.

The police are investigating the matter. DM

Mysterious fire burns family car

The remains of the family car that was badly damaged by a mysterious fire in Kosmos Park.

Could this be the problem?

A four-year-old water leak could be the cause of Kosmos Park’s water problem. The pipeline is buried almost two metres deep and the soil is saturated to such an extent that a swamp was created in the adjacent empty stand.

STANDERTON - “U staan voor een van die belangrikste besluite van u lewe,” was mnr Pieter Bakker, hoof van Laerskool Kalie de Haas, se woorde aan die saal vol voornemende gr 1-ouers wat die skool se opedag Vrydag, 10 Junie, bygewoon het.

Die personeel het die saal in ‘n uit-stalling van alles wat die skool nuwe leerlinge bied, omskep en só die ouers se belangstelling en entoesiasme geprik-kel. Bakker het die ouers toegespreek en hulle van die skool se uitstekende onderwys-, sport- en kultuurdeparte-ment verseker. “Vir my is akademie die belangrikste aspek,” het hy verduidelik. “Ons skool beskik oor ‘n mediasentrum met internetgeriewe sodat leerlinge navorsing vir hul huiswerk en take kan doen, ‘n rekenaarsentrum, ‘n naskool-sentrum en gratis ekstraklasse.”

Kultuuraktiwiteite waaraan die leer-linge kan deelneem, sluit die VCSV, kore, konserte en landsdiens in. Vol-gens Bakker is Laerskool Kalie de Haas die enigste skool in die dorp wat aan die landsdiensbeweging behoort en dit as opsie vir leerlinge bied. Op sportgebied beskik die skool oor ses netbalbane, twee rugbyvelde, ‘n atletiekbaan, ‘n krieketveld met oefennette en ‘n swem-bad.

“Hier by Kalies streef ons om die beste vir u kind te bied. U kind se toekoms is óns belang,” het Bakker afgesluit, waarna die ouers en personeel saam ‘n koppie tee geniet het. Die dag se ver-rigtinge het daarna met ‘n toer deur die terrein afgesluit wat deur Bakker en die onderhoof, me Teresa Bothma, gelei is.

Laerskool Kalie Haas se webtuiste en Facebookbladsy is pas opgeknap en is nou góéd op dreef. Voornemende gr 1-ouers kan gerus die QR-kode vir die skool se webblad met hul slimfone skandeer om op hoogte van al die nuut-ste verwikkelinge te bly of vir meer in-ligting oor wat die skool alles bied. Die webtuiste kan ook by www.kaliedehaas.co.za besoek word. DK

Laerskool Kalie de Haas se jaarlikse opedag wat Vrydag, 10 Junie, gehou is, het vanjaar weer eens goeie vrugte afgewerp. Voornemende gr 1-ouers het na die skoolsaal gestroom waar hulle vriendelik deur die personeel ingewag is en deur die hoof, mnr Pieter Bakker, toegespreek is.

Danje Pretorius, ‘n leerling van Standerton Akademie, het op 21 Mei aan die Sentraal Gauteng-gimnastiekbyeenkoms in Pretoria deelgeneem en drie gouemedaljes losgeslaan. Sy is gevolglik in die Mpumalangaspan opgeneem en ontvang vanjaar haar provinsiale kleure.

Laerskool Goedehoop se o-11 B-netbalspan het Saterdag, 4 Junie, ná hul oorwinning tydens die streekkampioenskap, aan die B-ligafinaal van die Mpumalanga-kampioenskap in Witbank deelgeneem en in ál hul wedstryde geseëvier.

SECUNDA - Hoërskool Ermelo se o-14 B-rugbyspan het die afgelope naweek vir hoedervleisspel in die B-ligafinaal van die Mpumalanga-grootskoleliga gesorg toe hulle HTS Witbank 28-20 verslaan en as Mpumalanga-kampioene uit die stryd getree het.

Die seuns het van die afskop druk op hul teenstanders toegepas en sodoende

skrumskakel Joshua Visser sommer vining-vinnig die geleentheid gebied om die eerste drie te druk.

Ná goeie samewerking het senter Danie van Rooyen daarin geslaag om die eerste van sy twee drieë te druk, terwyl haker Ashton Gibson vir die laaste drie gesorg het.

Losskakel André Dale Groenewald, wat sy skopskoene aangehad het, was ook

deel van die puntemakerspan toe hy agt punte met vier doelskoppe vir die Erries aangeteken het.

Hoërskool Ermelo se drie A-spanne wat dinge in die halfeindstryd van hulle liga uitgespook het, moes ongelukkig die knie buig. Die o-15 A’s het in die doodsnikke van hul kragmeting teen Hoërskool Generaal Hertzog met ‘n skepdoel verloor.

Die eindtelling was 22-20. Volgens die skool was dit sonder twyfel een van die beste wedstryde waarin die span gespeel het. Dieselfde lot het die o-14 A’s en die eerstespan getref toe hulle teen Hoërskool Rob Ferreira en Ligbron Akademie vir Tegnologie te staan gekom het.

Die o-14 B-spelers ontvang nietemin almal vanjaar hul Mpumalanga-kleure. DK

STANDERTON - Hoërskool Standerton het hulself oor die afgelope paar jaar as ‘n fors op die rugbyveld bewys en is reeds besig om vir opslae in vanjaar se seisoen te sorg. Behalwe vir die o-16 A-span wat Hoërskool Generaal Hertzog die afgelope naweek 24-19 in die halfeindstryd van die Mpumalanga-grootskole A-liga geklop het en nou na die Mpumalanga-finaal deurding, spog die skool met ses spelers wat vanjaar vir verskeie provinsiale spanne gaan uitdraf.

Hloni Mphuti het die gesogte Cravenweekspan vir o-18-spelers gehaal en gaan tussen 11 en 16 Junie by Kearsney College in Durban tydens die Cravenweek in askie wees. Teboho Mosia, oftewel Smiley Mosia soos wat hy genoem word, is op sy beurt in die Grant Khomospan vir o-16-spelers opgeneem. Dié span sal tussen 2 en 8 Julie na Paarl Gimnasium in die Wes-Kaap toer.

Wat die Puma Akademiespan betref wat vanjaar deur Hoërskool Standerton se eie Brendan Coetzee afgerig word, het vier van die skool se spelers die span gehaal. Michael Crumplin, Siyabonga Khoza, Ockert Meyer en Janu Lategan sal almal tussen 28 Junie en 2 Julie die Akademietrui tydens dié span se toer na Vanderbijlpark oor hul koppe trek.

Nóg ‘n provinsiale prestasie is dat mnr Mauritz van Heerden, ‘n afrigter van Hoërskool Standerton, as keurder vir die o-16 Pumas gekies is. DK

Hoërskool Ermelo se o-14 B-rugbyspan het die afgelope naweek swaarde met HTS Witbank in die B-ligafinaal van die Mpumalanga-grootskoleliga gekruis en as Mpumalanga-kampioene uit die stryd getree toe hulle hul teenstanders 28-20 verslaan het.


SECUNDA - Die Mpumalanga-grootskolerugbyliga het die afgelope naweek kookpunt in Secunda bereik toe die provinsie se beste spanne dinge in die finaal van die B-liga en die halfeindstryd van die A-liga uitgespook het. Ligbron Akademie vir Tegnologie het uithalerspel gelewer en drie B-spanne opgelewer wat as Mpumalanga-kampioene bekroon is en twee A-spanne opgelewer wat na die ligafinaal deurgedring het.

Die skool se o-16 B-span het teen Hoërskool Standerton in die finaal te staan gekom en die wedstryd 14-6 beklink. Die tweede- en derdespan het op hul beurt teen HTS Witbank te staan gekom en wentellings van 20-8 en 12-8, onderskeidelik, behaal.

Die spelers van hierdie drie spanne ontvang sodoende vanjaar hul Mpumalanga-kleure.

Wat die A-spanliga betref, het Ligbron Akademie vir Tegnologie se eerste- én o-16 A-span na die finaal deurgedring wat tydens die skoolvakansie beslis sal word.

Hierdie prestasie was veral vir die eerstespan uitsonderlik, aangesien hulle die geskiedenisboeke herskryf het deur Hoërskool Ermelo vir die eerste keer in die Mpumalanga-halfeindstryd te klop.

Die eindtelling was ‘n oortuigende 34-13 met drieë wat deur Isaac Pedro, Thabiso Mkhwebane, Gert Cronjé, Eddie Dludlu en Calvin Clack gedruk en drie uit die vyf keer deur Gert Cronjé verdoel is. Thabiso Mkhwebane het die enigste strafskop aangeteken. Hou Ligbron Akademie vir Tegnologie se Facebookbladsy gerus vir die nuutste verwikkelinge dop. DK

STANDERTON - Saterdag, 11 Junie, se tweede wedvlug vanaf Winburg was ‘n vinnige wedvlug met die wind van agter wat die duiwe bietjie aangejaag het en massas die dorp ingestuur het.

Klokke was binne vier minute vol. Die spoed na Standerton in vergelyking met verlede week was 367,5 meter per minuut vinniger vanaf dieselfde punt.

Die wenspoed was 1 776.01 meter per minuut (107.5 km/h) oor ‘n gemiddelde afstand van 270 km.

Ope-afdeling: Norden Lombaard (1,2 en 3), David Armitage (4 en 5), Geelbos (6,19 en 24), Danie van Staden (7), John Vienings (8,9,10,11,12,13,14,17 en 30), Johan Marneweck (15), Ben Steyn (16,21 en 26), Marius Esterhuizen (18 en 29), Robert Scott (20 en 27) en David van der Linde (22,23,25 en 28).

Hier was die wenspoed 1 830.53 meter per minuut (109.8 km/h), ook oor ‘n gemiddelde afstand van 270 km. JD

Drie van Ligbron Akademie vir Tegnologie se B-spanne is Saterdag, 11 Junie, as Mpumalanga-kampioene in Secunda gekroon, terwyl twee van die skool se A-spanne na die ligafinaal deurgedring het. Die eerstespan het die geskiedenisboeke herskryf deur Hoërskool Ermelo vir die eerste keer in ‘n Mpumalanga-halfeindstryd te klop. Hulle sal ook in die Mpumalanga-finaal te sien wees.

Die rugbyseisoen het pas baie goeie vrugte vir Tiaan Malan (links) en Ruben Luus, leer-linge van Laerskool Vrede, afgewerp toe albei spelers in die finale o-12 Griffon-span opgeneem is.

Rugbylatte ‘sweef’ in provinsiale span


STANDERTON - The cold weather defi-nitely didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the 14 golfers who participated in Satur-day’s Better-Ball competition at Standerton Country Club. The competition kicked off at 10:00 when the first teams teed off.

In the end, the Lombaard team, consist-ing of husband and wife, Nico and Patrizia, were in first place with a combined score of 44 points. The team of Tertius Brits and

Kalie Coetzee ended second with 43 points. The other teams’ results are as follow: Wes-sel van der Merwe and Ronald Kinnear (43), Aldo Arnaldi and Lourie Nel (42), Koos van Wyk and Pieter Bester (42), Attie Mouton and Wessie Wessels (40) as well as Andrew Harper and NT Coetzee (39).

Kinnear and Van der Merwe was the only team who obtained two clubs, thereby end-ing the day on a high note. DK

STANDERTON - Op Saterdag, 11 Junie, vertrek Standerton Rugbyklub met twee spanne na Ermelo om daar teen hulle te speel. Die tweedespan is eerste aan die beurt en die eerste 10 minute van die wedstryd sorg vir klipharde rugby, met nie een van die twee spanne wat wil skiet gee nie. Standerton word kort hierna beloon met twee vinnige drieë na mekaar, in die vorm van ‘n mooi langafstand-drie deur Dwayne Lake (binnesenter) en ‘n onderskepdrie deur Manie Koekemoer (loskopstut). Die telling bly dieselfde tot halftyd, nadat Brendan Coetzee (losskakel) albei verdoel het, 14-0 vir Standerton.

In die tweedehelfte gooi die Standerton manne weer eens die bal lekker rond tussen voor- en agterspelers met onder andere Ocker Brits (skrumskakel), Erik Heymans (flank), Fanafuthi Motloung (linkervleuel) en Edison Mputhi (heelagter) wat drieë behaal. Brendan Coetzee verdoel nog twee hiervan. Ermelo trek egter self voordeel uit Standerton se foute op die aanval en gaan kuier ook drie keer agter die pale. Die eindtelling lees 38-21 vir Standerton. As spelers van die wedstryd word Manie Koekemoer (voor) en Ocker Brits (agter) aangewys.

Soos wat dit tradisioneel altyd tussen Standerton en Ermelo se eerstespanspelers gaan, was dit weer eens ‘n wedstryd waar daar vanaf die afskop geen genade gevra of betoon is nie. Met ‘n eerste afskop deur Ermelo wat diep geskop word en ‘n aangee of twee wat misgetas word op Standerton se doellyn, teken Ermelo die eerste punte aan. Die doelskop is oor en binne die eerste 30 sekondes van die wedstryd loop Standerton agter met 0-7. Dit sou egter die laaste keer wees dat Standerton ‘n fout van

die aard begaan. Met volgehoue aanvalle en rotsvaste verdediging deur beide spanne, bly die telling 0-7 in Ermelo se guns, tot en met halftyd.

Na die draaislag hervat Standerton waar hulle opgehou het in die eerstehelfte. Die voorspelers slaan hard met Pieter Brits, Willem Martin en Juan Kotze aan die spits. TG Beyleveldt, Michael van Vuren en Johan van Schaik kry ook ‘n paar mooi lopies en dryfbewegings in. Die bal word wyd gespeel en Tiaan Potgieter (linkervleuel) hardloop om vir ‘n drie onder die pale. Riaan Groenewald (losskakel) slaag met die doelskop en die telling is gelyk. 7-7.

Na vele aanvalle en met Ermelo se verdediging wat hou, maak daar uiteindelik weer ‘n gaping oop. Juan Pieterse sien hom, slaan hom en klop nog drie verdedigers om oor te gaan vir sy drie. Die wind druk die doelskop links verby en die telling is 12-7 in Standerton se guns.

Met nog ongeveer agt minute speeltyd oor, speel Standerton diep en probeer Ermelo daar vaspen en wen ‘n losbal op Ermelo se 10m lyn. Die bal beweeg van Benna Groenewald (skrumskakel) na broer Riaan op losskakel. Hy trap vas en klits ‘n allemintige skepskop van net binne Standerton se eie helfte van die veld, deur die mikke. Vyftien punte teenoor sewe vir Standerton, wat dan ook die eindtelling was. As spelers van die wedstryd word Pieter Brits (voor) en Benna Groenewald (agter) aangewys.

Eerskomende Saterdag, 18 Junie, speel Standerton tuis, op SHS se A-veld teen Sasol2 en Middelburg 3. Standerton 2 skop af om 14:30 en Standerton 1 om 16:00. Kom ondersteun asseblief ons rugbyspanne. (Jakes Coetzee)
