STANDERTON - It has been six years of pain and agony for the family and friends of Mr Jabulane Pixley Nene from Sakhile who disappeared without a trace. He was a well known local teacher at Khula Sakhile Secondary School and the father of the newly crowned Miss Mpumalanga 2015, Zamanene Nene.
She was 15 years old when her father disappeared. Mrs Nene, Zamanene’s mother, had to raise her on her own and Zamenene went to university and was crowned Miss Mpumalanga without her father on her side. Mr Nene was last seen leaving a tavern in Sakhile on the evening of Valentine’s Day in 2009 where he spent the better part of the afternoon with friends.
When he did not return home that evening, his family became worried and thought that that kind of behaviour was odd. They reported him missing the next day at Sakhile Police. He was reportedly last seen driving his white Toyota Corolla. Police, with the assistance of the community, searched for him all over and even police divers were used to search the Vaal River, with no success. Six years down the line there is no clue of what happened to the local teacher and the family man. A source say that the police are still looking for him. At some stage the Police will consider to declare him deceased.
In one way this should bring some relief to the family, but closure will still be haunting them until they have buried his mortal remains.

STANDERTON- A 26-year-old man was arrested by members of the public after he tried to rob a man who was withdrawing cash from the ppened on Thursday last week at the Caltex garage next to the railway station in Walter Sisulu drive.
A man was busy trying to withdraw money at the ATM when the suspect approached him from behind and told him that the machine is not working properly. By that time, the man already entered the PIN number of his card. When he tried to
tell the suspect to leave him alone, another man pressed a button on the ATM to release the card and ran away with his card.
With the assistance of taxi operators and the community one suspect was then arrested and handed over to the police. The suspect who took the bank card managed to escape.
A case of attempted robbery was opened for further investigation. The suspect was due to appear in court soon. DM
STANDERTON - After two weeks of attacks and killings on foreign nationals, members of the community of Sakhile heeded to the call. On Wednesday, 29 April, midday a foreigner was attacked by two males and one female while still busy in a tuck-shop. It is alleged that the three forced their way inside and robbed the shopkeeper of cash, airtime vouchers, and cigarettes.
Members of the community nearby spotted the incident and rushed to the tuck shop and closed the security door with the robbers
trapped inside while phoning the police. When the police arrived the three suspects were arrested. The two males aged 23 and 25 and a female aged 24 were charged with robbery and were due to ap-pear in court on Thursday last week.
Sakhile Police hailed the com-munity members for the good work and encouraged others to act the same. It also emerged that the two male suspects were released on bail a week ago facing charges of theft. DM
STANDERTON - Lekwa Local Municipality’s workers embarked on go-slow tactics following unpaid overtime by the Municipality. On Wednesday, 29 May, angry workers decided not to go back to their respective duties after having lunch, but opted to wait for the response from the Municipal Manager after he promised that their overtime money will be paid the same day.
Instead the leader of the union received an SMS text message from the Municipal Manager indicating that no funds are available to pay their outstanding money. Workers, mostly from the technical department, became angry and vowed to go on a slow strike. What infuriated them more is the fact that a contractor at the electrical warehouse was appointed.
According to workers, they have decided to boycott further overtime and standby call-outs because they have not been paid overtime for two months. They further claim that the Municipal Manager is not negotiating in good faith, because he claims that there is no money to pay their overtime, but at the same time there are funds to pay the contractor.
On Thursday morning workers went to the Municipal Manager’s office to demand their overtime payment. After discussions with the union representatives Cosmos News has heard from a reliable source that the Municipal Manager has undertaken to pay outstanding overtime money on Wednesday, 6 May. One of the employees said that it remains to be seen if the money will be paid as promised. He said that the workers and the union will take a decision on going forward. DM

STANDERTON - AfriForum het die Belladonna-koshuis van die Hoërskool George Hofmeyr in Standerton se warmwaterstel-sel herstel. Die meisieskoshuis het sedert Maart sonder warm water gesit. Die skoolhoof het die probleem by die departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling aangemeld, maar hul versoek het op dowe ore geval.
“Die departement is verant-woordelik vir die instandhouding van die skool se koshuise. Dit is onaanvaarbaar dat meisies so kort voor winter sonder warm water moet klaarkom,” het Hillel Coet-zer, AfriForum se takvoorsitter in Standerton, gesê.
Die meisies se ouers het die probleem onder Coetzer se aan-dag gebring. Die AfriForum-tak het onmiddellik oorgegaan in aksie en die waterstelsel herstel. “Ek is bly dat ons die leerlinge kon help, maar hulle het reeds vir te lank met die probleem saam geleef. Ons, as burgerregte-organisasie, is daar om gemeens-kappe te ondersteun wat aan die kortste end trek, omdat die rege-ring nie dienslewering as priorit-eit ag nie. Ons sal sover moont-lik help om probleme op te los,” het Jaco Grobbelaar, AfriForum se assistent-koördineerder byge-voeg. JD
STANDERTON - A local man booked in at the holiday resort just 10 km out of Standerton on Saturday, 2 May. According to a source from the resort, the man arrived alone in his vehicle pulling a caravan and booked in for one day. Records show that he booked in by the name of ‘Michael’ and no further details were revealed.
It is reported that when the man did not book out on Sunday, management went to his caravan at about 16:00 to check on him. They found the caravan door closed and after several attempts to try and call him, they decided to force the door open.
Mr Michael Gerber’s motionless body was found face down on the floor. Kasselman Security Services were first to arrive on the scene followed by police and paramedics at 19:30. The man was certified dead by paramedics. According to the police there was no evidence to suggest foul play and the cause of death is unknown, but it is suspected to be natural causes.
In the meantime police were able to find his family after they found his cellphone in the caravan. It was therefore confirmed by the family that Mr Gerber, was a resident of Standerton. Lieutenant Johannes Nhlabathi confirmed that the family arrived at the scene and told the police that the man had suffered a previous heart attack and they believe that he died of a heart attack. DM

Thieves rob the deadSTANDERTON- The community is concerned by the spate of thefts at the graveyards in Sakhile. Many families have reported missing items including grave numbers to the police in Sakhile. Police now are investigating these incidents.
On Tuesday, 20 March, an unknown man was spotted by members of the community leaving a graveyard in Extension 2. Suspecting that he must have stolen items from the graves, they called the police and members of the CPF. The suspect was found in possession of steel pipes, and various iron plates bearing the names of deceased.
The suspect admitted that the items were destined to be sold at a scrap metal dealer.
He was arrested on the spot.
Angry community members who gathered around requested the police to let them deal with the suspect who has no respect for the dead.
It is reported that the community has vowed to deal with people disturbing the dead and making things difficult for families who often visit the graves of their loved ones.
According to the CPF leader, Mr Charles Msibi, the suspect was later released after Lekwa Municipality Parks and Recreation declined to open a case against him. The Police Spokesperson was not available to comment on the incident. Captain D Nkosi said that it is immoral and not acceptable to disturb the dead and display lack of respect for the graves. DM

NATIONAL – RioZim, which mines gold, diamonds and coal in Zimbabwe, wants to work with state-owned power utilities in South Africa and Namibia to build a 1 400 megawatt electricity plant near its Sengwa coal fields.The R25.31bn thermal power plant would produce electricity for RioZim’s mines and sell the excess back to Eskom and NamPow-er, RioZim CEO Noah Matimba told lawmakers on Monday in Harare. Botswana, South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe all im-port electricity because they can’t meet domestic demand consis-tently. With Mozambique, they are all inter-connected through the regional Southern African Power Pool.“The chances are that this project will be bankable with partner-ships with Eskom and NamPower, utilities whose risk is accept-able to lenders,” Matimba said. RioZim, which has already spent R241 million on the project, is open to any partnerships that will see the power plant built, Matimba said.Fuel for the facility will come from the company’s coalfields in Sengwa in northern Zimbabwe, while it will draw water from Lake Kariba, 85 km to the north. Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and President Jacob Zuma discussed the possible part-nership last month, Matimba said. (News24) JD

Mev Ans Naudé (links) wat na 24 jaar die tuig by die Polisiediens neerlê met kaptein Marle Erasmus wat ‘n af-skeidsgeskenk aan haar oorhandig.
Selfvertwyfeling is niks anders nie as die vrees om verkeerd te wees, verwerp te word of skuldig te voel nie. Wanneer ons twyfel, en wanhoop en vrees toelaat om oor te neem, begin ons ‘n muur nie net om ons eie harte bou nie, maar ook tussen ons en God se seëninge vir ons. Moet nooit toelaat dat die eerste stene van daardie muur in jou lewe gelê word nie.
Twyfel is bloot die vrees dat iets negatief gaan gebeur selfs nog voor dit gebeur het. In teendeel is geloof die verwagting dat iets goeds en positiefs gaan gebeur. Dit verg inderwaarheid minder emosionele energie om in geloof te leef as in twyfel en in vrees. Mense wat glo, positief en gelukkig is, is baie gesonder as dié wat gevul is met vrees, twyfel, wanhoop en negatiewe gedagtes.
Kyk jou vrees en twyfel vandag vierkantig in die oë en vra God om jou te help om daarby verby te kyk en dit te oorbrug. Dit is slegs deur God se genade dat ons die negatiewe met die positiewe kan oorheers.
If you are ever going to loveLove me now while I can knowThe sweet and tender feelings
Which from true affection flow.Love me now while I am living
Do not wait until I’m goneAnd then have it chiseled in marble
Sweet words on ice-cold stone.If you have tender thoughts of me
Please let me know now.If you wait until I am sleepingThere will be death between usAnd I will not hear you then.
So, if you love me, even a little bitLet me know while I am living
So that I can treasure it.Thakorbhai, Standerton
STANDERTON – Mnr Billy Lyons is op 30 April 2015 in die ouderdom van 85 jaar oorlede. Hy was vir bykans twee en ‘n half jaar bedlêend in Standerton se tehuis vir bejaardes waar hy met groot liefde en toewy ding versorg is. Oom Billy was ‘n bekende en voorslag boer asook besigheidsman in die Holmdene distrik en het as gemeenskapslei-er ook diep spore getrap by ver-skeie skole in Standerton as be-

Sy het in 2007 haar aansoek om verplasing na Standerton ingedien en verhuis om nader aan haar kinders en klein-kinders te wees. Sy het weer eens by die motorhawe begin werk tot en met 2009 waarna

Raak ontslae van die sonde van twyfel en vrees
Message from a mother
Geliefde inwoner sterf
heerraadslid en/of voorsitter van bestuursrade. Hy was besonder toegewyd tot die opvoeding van kinders en het reeds in die vroeë 70’s Matalaza Primary School op die been gebring- die skool is steeds funksioneel. Hy het etlike jare as diaken en ouderling ge-dien by die NG Kerk Standerton Wes en het ook die legging van die hoeksteen van díe kerk moontlik gemaak.
Hy sal veral onthou word as ‘n liefdevolle gesinsman, goeie vriend, voortreflike boer en ‘n betrokke gemeenskapsleier.
Hy is Dinsdag vanuit die NG-Weskerk begrawe en laat sy vrou Marie, 4 kinders, 8 kleinkinders en 3 agterkleinkinders na. JD
‘n Ma is iemand wat nie noodwendig ‘n kind op die heup het of ‘n kleuter wat die wêreld vol rond hardloop nie… ‘n Ma is iemand wat omgee, ie-mand wat liefhet, iemand wat tyd afstaan om ander te help, oomblikke te koester en al-tyd haarself tweede te stel. ‘n Ma is selfs die dame wat by die weeshuis ‘n kindjie optel en vashou net omdat sy vandag die behoefte gehad het om liefde te gaan uitdeel.
‘n Ma kan selfs beskou word as daardie onderwyseres wat vandag vir amper 8 ure na jou kind omsien by die skool. ‘n Ma kan daardie verpleegster wees wat pas jou siek babatjie in die hospitaalgang af gesus het tot sy slaap…
Om Mamma genoem te word is bloot ‘n voorreg, ‘n geleende tyd wat God jou ge-gee het om na ander om te sien. Want as jy kyk na wie die meeste pleisters plak, die meeste wonde soen en die meeste trane afvee sal dit tog altyd ‘n Mamma wees. God het ‘n Ma – ‘n vrou – be-sonders uniek, sag, langmoedig, vol vreugde, propvol liefde en natuurlik met ‘n uitsonder-
like uithouvermoë geskape. Hy het geweet hoeveel ‘n Ma sal moet trotseer, hoeveel sy sal moet opgee, hoeveel trane sy sal moet wegsluk en hoe-veel keer haar hart sal moet breek – maar dat sy ten spyte van dit alles elke keer sal opstaan!
“DANKIE” Ma vir al die kere wat ek vergeet het om dit te sê, Ma se teenwoordigheid in my lewe is wat enige kind begeer om te hê! Jammer as ek soms vergeet het om te wys hoeveel ek Ma waardeer, dankie dat Ma by my ge staan het deur al my seer. Ek sê hope-loos te min hoe lief ek ma het, of hoe baie ons tyd saam beteken, want dis altyd groot pret!
Ek is lief vir die manier waar-op Ma alles sal los en luister, die tye wat ons as Ma en kind vir mekaar kan fluister. Dankie dat Ma my geleer het om met deernis deur die lewe te gaan, en deur al my eie beproe wings en trane het Ma by my gestaan. En as ek soms ondankbaar voorkom, Moet asseblief nie my werklike bedoelings ver-keerd opsom… Elke dag betek-en Ma net nog meer vir my, Vir die wonderlikste Ma en voor-beeld sal ek Ma altyd beny.
Wat is ‘n ma…

STANDERTON - Tydens die Lekwa Brandbeskermingsvereniging se maandelikse vergadering is belangrike punte bespreek. Daar is ‘n amptelike verbod uitgesit wat persone verbied om onder lewendige kraglyne te brand. Brandpermitte moet verkry word voordat daar met enige tipe voorbrand begin word. Die brandseisoen het amptelik op 1 Mei geopen en sal oop bly tot
verdere kennisgewing, gewoonlik 1 Oktober. Alle voorbrande val in hierdie tyd onder die FPA jurisdiksie. Boere kan vir Lappies Labuschagne op 082 842 3200 skakel of vir Louis Kotze op 082 944 0620.
Persone moet ook in ag neem voordat brande begin word dat die weersomstandighede kan verander vandat die brandpermit uitgereik is totdat die vuur begin word. JD
STANDERTON - The fire season opened on 1 May and will remain open until further notice. HEFPA (Highveld East Fire Protection Association) would like to bring the following ten rules under your attention.
Rule one. Make effective fire breaks on your property borders. This protects your property and prevents a fire spreading to neighboring properties.
Rule two. Warn neighbours if you plan to burn fire-breaks. Use a written notice to inform neighbours of your intentions.
Rule three. Plan your fire-breaks program with your neighbours. Get your neighbour’s approval of your plan of action. Should neighbours find it impossible to come to an agreement, provision is made that the local magistrate may act as arbiter. His ruling will then be binding on both landowners.
Rule four. Insist on your neighbours’ presence when fire-breaks on boundary belts are being made. This will ensure that all parties take responsibility for any eventualities. Should a
fire occur on a property, and it is suspected of posing a threat to man, animal or property, any person may enter the property and apply necessary reasonable measures to prevent the fire from spreading, or to extinguish the fire. These measures may even include setting fire to crops, making fire-breaks etc.
Rule five. Ensure that weather conditions are acceptable for burning firebreaks. You could consider burning fires at night when weather conditions are usually favorable for burning, Check the Fire Danger Index (FDI) and make yourself familiar with the regulations for your region.
Rule six. Burn fire-breaks early. Burning restrictions are enforced in certain regions - ensure that you’re aware of these.
Rule seven. Don’t light a fire in the open air if you cannot control it. Ensure that you have enough help and equipment to cope with all eventualities. Lighting a fire within a road reserve, except in a fireplace built for that purpose, is also prohibited in terms of the National Veld and Forest Fire Act
No 101 of 1998. Rule eight. You are responsible for doing all you can to
prevent a fire from spreading to neighboring properties. If a fire should spread it can cause extensive damage and as far as the law is concerned, the landowner from where the fire originates can be held liable for damages.
Rule nine. Don’t leave a fire unguarded or unattended before it is properly and thoroughly extinguished. Remember that unexpected winds can reflame cinders. Although mopping up after a fire is the least glamorous part of fighting fires, it is probably the most important if you don’t want to be surprised by a new fire the following day.
Rule ten. According to the National Veld and Forest Fire Act No 101 of 1998, carelessness with fires is considered a criminal offence. Although fire is a useful tool, it can be a dangerous foe with severe consequences for those who don’t use it properly. JD
Ten golden rules when making fire-breaks

STANDERTON - When the Minister of Small Business Development, Ms Lindiwe Zulu, launched the Center of Entrepreneurship at Gert Sibande College’s Ermelo campus on 13 March and announced that 30 students will be the first to benefit from the multi-million project, little did the former students of the Standerton campus thought that they might strike gold.
The four ambitious women who completed their diploma in hospitality in 2014 did not rest on their laurels –they had a dream to unleash an entrepreneurship revolution in Standerton and formed a company.
During the glittering function when the Minis-
ter launched the Center for Entrepreneurship in Ermelo, they were offered the opportunity by the College to cater for 300 students who grazed the occasion. As fortune favours the brave, the group passed their test beyond expectations.
That has opened the doors for their future, as the Hasekhuma group has been offered the oppor-tunity to tap in the project amongst the 30 stu-dents.
Beaming with a smile, the four fearless young women exclaimed: “Our hard work, dedication and determination is bearing the fruits! We can see our entrepreneurship dream shining bright in the horizon.” DM

Hoërskool George Hofmeyr se moremark wat Saterdag, 2 Mei, gehou is, het heelwat belangstelling gelok. Dit was ‘n tipiese herfsdag maar die koue is gou verdryf met iets warm om te eet en te drink. Die verskillende uitstallers se produkte is ook bekyk en baie besoekers het met hande vol produkte huiswaarts gekeer.
Ontmoet vir Nikki wat hierdie maand skole sal besoek en vir die kinders sal vertel van die SAVF se jaarlikse ‘Wear to Care’maand. Hierdie jaar verkoop die SAVF sporthoedjies soos dié een wat Nikki op het teen R15 per hoedjie. Ondersteun die SAVF en die gemeenskap deur een van die hoedjies te koop. Fondse word aangewend vir gesinne in nood. Hoedjies is beskikbaar by skole en SAVF kantore in Schwickardstraat.
NASIONAAL – As jy nog nie vir jou ma ‘n geskenk vir Moedersdag hierdie komende Sondag gekoop of gemaak het nie, sal jy moet gou spring. Hoekom verras jy haar nie met iets anders as blomme, sjokolade of ‘n ete nie? Wat van iets wat kreatiwiteit verg en waarvan die gedagte tel eerder as die prys van die geskenk, soos:
Tuinplante. Dit is nie nodig om honderde rande op ‘n bos rose te spandeer wat in elk geval oor ‘n week verlep gaan wees nie. Koop eerder roosbome of ander plante by die naaste kwekery wat vir jare lank sal blom. Julle kan dit boonop Sondag saam plant en sodoende tyd saam deurbring, want tyd is tog die kosbaarste geskenk. As jy en jou ma ver van mekaar af woon en mekaar nie op Moedersdag kan sien nie, maar jul albei beskik oor Skype, kan julle met behulp van tegnologie mekaar steeds sien en heerlik gesels. Facebook bied ook deesdae ‘n videofunksie as julle dit bo Skype verkies.
Haar herkoms. Gesels bietjie met jou oupa of ouma of ander familielede en laat hulle jou help om ‘n familieboom vir jou ma op te stel. Al is dit nie ‘n volledige een nie en bevat slegs naaste familie, soos haar ouers, grootouers, broers en susters en haar kinders, sal dit steeds ‘n unieke geskenk wees wat vir jou ma wys dat sy en familie belangrik is vir jou.
Klaargemaakte etes. Vir almal is Ma se kos die lekkerste, maar selfs jou ma is soms nie lus vir kook nie en dan is dit lekker om klaargemaakte sop uit die vrieskas te kan haal en net op te warm. Neem dus ‘n paar uur om jou ma se gunsteling sop of soppe te kook wat sy kan geniet in die koue dae wat nog voorlê.
Sy-blomme. Die beste gehalte sy-blomme lyk soms mooier as egte blomme en dit verlep natuurlik ook nie. As jou ma nie van blomme hou nie, maar eerder byvoorbeeld skilderye verkies, is dit ook ‘n goeie geskenk.
‘n Digitale fotoraam of ‘n iPod of MP3 of MP4-speler waarop jy vooraf familiefoto’s gelaai het. Jy kan ook foto’s uit haar kinderdae daarop laai en as jy dit op ‘n iPod laai, voeg sommer ‘n paar van haar gunsteling liedjies ook by.
Reël dat jou pa vir die aand saam met vriende of ander familie kuier en neem jou ma uit vir ‘n rolprent of neem ma-dogter DVD’s uit om by die huis saam as ma en dogter te kyk terwyl julle springmielies eet en melkskommels drink.
Gee vir haar ‘n hangertjie met ‘n foto van haar ma in. Al is dit Moedersdag, bly sy steeds haar ma se dogter. JD

Haas Das Pre-Primêre Skool spog met twee splinternuwe onderwysers, mee Bernice Grobler (links) en Adelé Alberts, wat die skool hiermee met tróts aan die gemeen skap bekendstel. Me Grobler is van Vrede en sal die Uiltjieklas by die juniorspeelgroepie, oftewel een- tot tweejariges, onder hande neem, terwyl me Alberts by die drie- tot vier-jarige leerlinge betrokke sal wees. Sy is van Belfast en beplan om haar nuwe pos met ywer aan te pak.
Laerskool Kalie de Haas het pas sy top 10 presterende akade-miese leerlinge van die eerste kwartaal bekendgestel en wil hier-mee graag ‘n regstelling in die top 3-ranglys van die gr 7-leer-linge aanbring. Agter is Mario Boender wat die derdeplek met 88,48% beklee en voor is Stiaan Schoonraad en Marli Grobler wat, onderskeidelik, die tweede- en eersteplek volstaan. Stiaan het ‘n gemiddeld van 88,84% behaal, terwyl Marli met ‘n top-gemiddeld van 89,17% spog.
ERMELO - ‘n Stampvol EHS-ouditorium het Donderdagaand, 23 April, saam gekuier tydens die verwelkomingsfunksie van mnr Pieter Grobler as die nuwe hoof van Hoërskool Ermelo. Eregaste was, onder andere, hoofde van skole, predikante van die dorp en Errie Unie-erelede, terwyl die Ses Snare by dié spoggeleentheid opgetree het.
As vyf sterre die meeste is wat ‘n vertoning kan kry, kry Ses Snare ses sterre! Daar was van die eerste oomblik wat die vyf teenwoordige musikante en sangers op die verhoog gestap het, ‘n mede-kunstenaarskap en ‘n musikale broederskap wat ge-voel kon word. Die Ses Snare was ‘n ongelooflike produksie en ‘n volmaakte mengsel van oor-spronklike Afrikaanse musiek en
gewilde treffers van onder andere Neil Diamond en Katy Perry. Die onderskeie talente van dié vyf mans op die verhoog was asem-rowend.
Mnr Japie Celliers, beheerlig-gaamvoorsitter van Hoërskool Ermelo, het mnr Grobler as ‘n nederige man beskryf en dat God hom dáárom sal lei om die skool en die gemeenskap op die regte pad die toekoms in te vat. Daar is verder genoem dat mnr Grobler besig is om geskiedenis te maak as die eerste hoof vir die nuwe eeu van Hoërskool Ermelo.
“Dit is vir my ‘n voorreg om as hoof van die EHS te staan,” het mnr Grobler het in sy toespraak gesê en ook die gemeenskap, ouers en personeel vir hulle ondersteuning bedank. DK
Me Van Eeden (departementshoof in wiskunde) van Hoërskool Oosterland, het haar mentorskapkursus by die Noordwes-Universiteit se Potchefstroomkampus voltooi en ‘n puik punt van 92% ontvang vir haar portfolio wat sy ingehandig het.
Die jaarlikse Mej Sprankel en Mnr Sjarmant geleentheid is ‘n hoogtepunt op Hoërskool Secunda se kalender en hierdie jaar se geleentheid was geen uitsondering nie. Die tema was Phantom en almal het sprankelend gelyk. Eric Lowe word aangewys as Mnr Sjarmant met Minnelize Witlock as Mej Sprankel 2015 aan sy sy.

Het jy jouself al ooit afgevra: wat gebeur as ek vandag moes ophou werk – as ek nie meer ‘n salaris kan verdien nie en my inkomste oornag sou verdwyn?
Ongelukkig verloop die lewe nie altyd volgens plan nie – ‘n mens word siek of word beseer in ‘n ongeluk en kan vir ‘n sekere tydperk nie werk nie en sodoende geen in komste verdien nie. Wie betaal die rekeninge? Hoe verseker jy dat jou huispaaiemente betaal word, dat die kinders se skoolgeld betaal word, motorpaaiemente afgetrek word en dat daar steeds kos op die tafel is? ‘n Mens kán dit verseker – met ‘n inkomstebeskermer.
Inkomstebeskermers bied die nodige gemoedsrus en wete dat jy ‘n gekose maandelikse inkomste betaal sal word, al sou jy nie in staat wees om die pligte van jou beroep uit te voer, weens siekte of ongeskiktheid nie. ‘n Inkomstebeskermer voorsien dat jy geen tekortkominge in jou kontantvloei het terwyl jy nie kan werk nie.
Alhoewel inkomstebeskermers met verskillende name en definies op die mark verskyn, is daar basies twee tipes: ‘n Tydelike en permanente inkomstebeskermer.
Die tydelike beskermer sal gewoonlik vir ‘n tydperk tot en met 24 maande jou salaris verseker, as mens daarna permanent ongeskik verklaar word, skop die permanente
inkomstebeskermer in. Laasgenoemde inkomstebeskermer word gewoonlik
teen 75 persent van jou salaris bereken en sal voortgaan om die bedrag te betaal tot en met die polis sy eind termyn bereik het (of lewenslank).
In die meeste gevalle word daar in die geval van siekte of ongeskiktheid ‘n enkelbedrag ongeskiktheid uitgeneem, maar die bedrae is gewoonlik nie genoeg nie, en word aangewend om uitstaande doktersrekeninge of ander onvoorsiene onkostes te dek.
Hierdie bedrae is gewoonlik nie genoeg om dan ook ‘n sinvolle inkomste te bied om van te lewe nie. Verder is enkelbedrae eise meestal moeiliker uitbetaalbaar as inkomste beskermer eise.
Die meeste SuidAfrikaners is baie onderverseker vir ongeskiktheid en siekte, die inkomste wat jy kan ontvang van ‘n inkomstebeskermer kan net ‘n welkome hupstoot vir jou finansies in ‘n tyd van nood wees.
Vir meer inligting oor inkomstebeskermers of enige ander finansiële raad, skakel gerus vir Ewie Saunders of Gerrit Coetzee, finansiële adviseurs by Anderson & Vennote by 017 719 1462 of besoek hulle by Kerkstraat 6D, Standerton, 2430.

SECUNDA - The Secunda Motor Rally will take place on May 15 and 16 in close proximity to this mining and indus-trial Mpumalanga town. It is the first ever national event to be staged in the region also known as Cosmos Country and is the third round in this year’s SA National Rally Championship.
The rally, which stretches over 316 km, will consist of 12 special stages totalling an approximate distance of 185 km in a very compact format, the furthest stage being only 17 km from the service park complex.
The new national event follows on a highly successful North-ern Regions regional rally held in the area late last year. It re-ceived great support from the community of Secunda. Willie du Plessis, the course clerk says: “Landowners have spent a lot of time and money on preparing a great route for this new national event and it has the support of important stakeholders, including local businesses and the media”.
The rally is expected to start at the Graceland Casino at 13:00 on Friday, May 15, and is immediately followed by the opening gravel stage opposite the casino. Competitors will then take on another five stages before the overnight stop at the popular Lake Umuzi waterfront complex on the southern outskirts of the town.
Aptly named the capital of Cosmos Country, the Lake Umuzi waterfront development includes various accommodation op-tions, good restaurants and great entertainment facilities for the entire family, including a water park. The rally headquar-ters and the service park complex will also be situated there. A short 3,7 km stage next to the lake at the complex will be the final stage on Friday evening, providing spectators with a per-fect opportunity to see the cars and their service crews in ac-tion.
On Saturday, May 16, crews will tackle another five stages before the event finishes at Lake Umuzi, with the final 3,7 km stage next to the lake in the afternoon. Du Plessis described the stages and route for the event as an “interesting mix.” “While some of the special stages will run through mealie fields, it will also consist of flowing sections through quarries and other areas with different road surfaces, ensuring a greater variety,” he says.
The service park at Lake Umuzi will be open for team set-up from May 14 and scrutinizing will take place at Secunda Toyota from 18:00 onwards. This will include an autograph session, providing another opportunity for petrol heads to meet the top rally crews in South Africa. JD
