Inbrekers versuur twee se vakansie in Europa
‘n Paartjie van die dorp, Johan Cronjé en Yolanda Kock, se huis het die afgelope naweek, in hul afwesigheid, deurgeloop onder diewe. In die voorgrond is die polisie besig om ‘n verklaring af te neem van Yolanda se ma, Tersia. In die agtergrond is Yolanda se pa, Tobie, en haar tannie, Christa Kock.
Hierdie toneel het Tobie en Tersia Kock begroet toe hulle Maandag by hulle dogter se huis was om die honde kos te gee.
Diewe het niks ontsien in die huis nie, en alles wat in ‘n laai gebêre was omgekeer op die vloer.
Selfs Johan se kinders se kamers is omgekeer en deurmekaar gekrap.
Ai, die skok! Jy is weg met vakansie en daar word by jou huis ingebreek.
Vir Johan Cronjé en Yolanda Kock van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het hierdie scenario ‘n wrede werklikheid geword toe kriminele by hul plaashuis ingebreek het en die hele huis gevandaliseer het.
Kock se ouers, Tobie en Tersia Kock, het Maandag die nare ontdekking gemaak. Hulle het oor etenstyd gou gaan inloer by die paartjie se honde toe hulle agterkom daar is groot fout. Yolanda se voertuig was in die oprit geparkeer en die agterdeur wat oopgestaan het, het vir Tobie en Tersia koue rillings laat kry. Tobie en Tersia self was vroeër in Desember die slagoffers van ‘n gewapende roof gewees. Tersia vertel dat hulle op 12 Desember voor Fruit & Veg deur ‘n enkele rower beroof is. Die ongemaskerde man het ‘n vuurwapen op hulle gerig en geld en selfone geëis. Tersia en Tobie is gelukkig nie beseer nie en die man het op die vlug geslaan.
By Yolanda en Johan se huis kon niks egter vir Tobie en Tersia voorberei op wat binnein gewag het nie. Die hele huis, van voor tot agter, was omgedolwe. Kaste en laaie het oopgehang en dié se inhoud het oor die vloer besaai gelê. Die diewe het niks in Kock en Cronjé se huis ontsien nie. Selfs nie Cronjé se kinders, wat ook die huis met hulle deel, se slaapkamers is ontsien nie.
Kock en Cronjé is sedert die einde Desember met vakansie in Europa. Maandag, toe die inbraak ontdek is, was hulle in België gewees, en hulle kon nie dadelik telefonies in die hande gekry word nie. “Ek dink net hoe gaan my kind huil as ek haar vanaand bel en sê wat het hier gebeur,” het Tobie gesê terwyl hy buite die huis gestaan het.
Op die stoeptrappie by die agterdeur het nog ‘n
skroewedraaier gelê, wat die diewe vermoedelik gebruik het om eers die veiligheidshek en daarna die agterdeur oop te breek. Tobie en Tersia het dadelik die polisie ontbied, maar dit was ‘n haas onbegonne taak om te bepaal wat alles gesteel is. “Net Johan en Yolanda sal dit weet, en hulle sal eers later in Januarie terugkom huis toe,” het sy gesê.
Tersia het wel aan die polisie bevestig dat sy agtergekom het dat die televisie, hoëtroustel en die Xbox van die kinders vermis word. Die diewe het ook van die kos en drank in die huis weggedra. In die spens het die inhoud van die kos en vrieskas op die grond gelê, en op die toonbank was daar ‘n halfgedrinkte bottel koeldrank en whiskey. Dit wil ook lyk of die diewe net van Johan se duurste drank gesteel het.
Tobie bereken die skade wat die diewe aangerig het op derduisende rande. Hy het verwys na Johan se motorfiets wat in die huis gestaan het vir veiligheid. Vermoedelik het die diewe die motorfiets probeer aanskakel, maar kon nie die regte sleutel in die hande kry nie, waarop hulle die agterste sitplek afgeruk het.
Sover daar vasgestel kon word, is daar nog geen arrestasies gemaak in die voorval nie.
Nadat die koerant verneem het dat die voorval by Cronjé en Kock se huis nie die enigste soortgelyke inbraak was nie, is die plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder, A/O Takalani Madzhigili, genader vir kommentaar. Hy wou egter nie ander inbrake bevestig nie, omdat dit daarop sal neerkom dat hy misdaadstatistieke bekendmaak.
Intussen het Yolanda se ouers vir haar en Johan in België gekontak met die nuus. Die paartjie het besluit om eers klaar vakansie te hou, en tot hulle terugkeer is veiligheid by hulle huis opgeskerp.
“Ek dink net hoe gaan my kind huil
as ek haar vanaand bel en sê wat het
hier gebeur”

Nog ‘n rekeningskok wag op inwonersMassale rekeninge is plaas-like inwoners se vroeë Nuwe-jaars verrassingskok vanaf die Makhado Munisipaliteit.
Sommige inwoners se gewone munisipale rekeninge beloop ‘n verhoging van meer as 400% aan die begin van Januarie, wat algemeen aanvaar word as een van die moeilikste maande vir die meeste huishoudings.
Die reusebedrae wat onverwags op inwoners se rekenings verskyn, word saamgestel deur soveel as 12 “diverse” (sundries) inskrywings op een rekening. Die inskrywings word bloot aangedui met ‘n ongeïdentifiseerde “DN” kode. By telefoniese navrae kon die munisipale bestuurder van die Makhado Munisipaliteit, mnr. Sakkie Mushinyali, geen lig werp op die betekenis van die inskrywings nie. Hy het aangedui dat hy eers die hele aangeleentheid sal moet ondersoek.
Die onaangekondigde hoë rekenings volg op hewige reaksie wat ontlok is deur vroeëre reusespronge in inwoners se munisipale kragrekenings. Daardie onverwagte verhogings is indertyd veroorsaak deur die oënskynlike manipulasie van die nuwe elektrisiteitsglyskaal om kraggebruik kunsmatig op te stoot na die hoogste tarief, deurdat kraglesings vir verskeie maande nie gelees word nie en dan saamgebondel en die opgehoopte kraglesing weerspieël en aangeslaan word as uitermatig hoë kraggebruik.
Die nuwe onverklaarde vlaag rekeningskokke kom nadat daar
in die laaste gedeelte van verlede jaar (2013) opvallend nuwe waardering begin posvat het vir ‘n oënskynlike verbetering in betrekkinge met die owerheidsinstansie. Die betrekkinge was tot in daardie stadium onder gevaarlike spanning deur ernstige ontevredenheid oor die algemene gebrek aan aanvaarbare dienslewering van die kant van die munisipaliteit. Dié verwagte weldadige deurbraak in verhoudinge kan nou noodwendig ‘n hernieude negatiewe bedreiging
inhou vir die inwoners se betragting van die welwillendheid, betroubaarheid en algemene integriteit van die munisipaliteite.
By navraag het die voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging, mev. Inga Gillfillan, vandeesweek bevestig dat daar in die verwagte dringende samesprekings tussen die vereniging en die munisipaliteit na hierdie aangeleentheid, asook ander gereëlde onverklaarde “aanpassings” op rekeninge, gekyk sal word.

Skolenuus
“Welgedaan, Louwtjies, so trots op julle,” was mev. Cobie Mostert, hoof van Hoërskool Eric Louw in Musina, se woorde Dinsdagoggend aan haar Graad 12-leerlinge met die nuus van die skool se 100% slaagsyfer gedurende die 2013 eindeksamen.
Vir Mostert was dit ‘n besonderse gebeurtenis, want dit was die laaste matriekgroep wat sy deurgesien het sedert sy as skoolhoof aangestel is in 2006. Wat dit ook verder spesiaal vir haar gemaak het, was die feit dat Eric Louw ook aangewys is as een van die top 10 skole in Limpopo na aanleiding van hul prestasie in verlede jaar se senioreksamen.
Eric Louw behaal in totaal 16 Asimbole, 83 Bsimbole en 123 Csimbole. Uit die 60 kandidate wat die nasionale senior sertifikaateksamen afgelê
het, het 30 kandidate geslaag met universiteitsvrystelling. Vyftien van die 18 vakke wat by Eric Louw aangebied is, het ‘n 100% slaagsyfer gehad.
Inneke Pieterse, Louwtjie hoofmeisie en Duxleerling van 2013, was ook die skool se toppresteerder. Sy spog met vier onderskeidings, in Afrikaans eerste taal (87%), lewensoriëntering (85%), besigheidstudies (92%) en rekenaartoepassingstegnologie (88%). Sy gaan hierdie jaar onderwys studeer aan die Wellington Onderwys Kollege in die Kaap.
Een besondere onderskeiding wat behaal is, is dié van Madalean Nxumalo. Sy is die eerste Louwtjie wat ‘n onderskeiding in Tshivenda as eerste taal behaal sedert die skool die vak aanbied. Lawrencia Morrison behaal twee onderskeidings, in Afrikaans eerste addisionele Taal (83%) en lewensoriëntering (81%). Leerlinge wat elk een onderskeiding behaal het was JohnJames Agenbag (lewensoriënte ring), Anke Eckard (geografie), Thabang Mashaba (geografie), Gracious Mulaudzi (lewensoriëntering), Tshavhu Nemathithi (lewensoriëntering), Anandie Oosthuizen (lewensoriëntering), FC Pieter sen (wiskundige geletterdheid), Modeline Sitauze (lewensoriëntering) en Johan Waldeck (Afrikaans eerste addisionele taal).
Twee Graad 12 leerlinge van Eric Louw wat spesiale vermelding nodig het, is Anandie Oosthuizen en RonaLee Johannsen. Na beide hierdie twee leerlinge se traumatiese ondervinding met ‘n tragiese busongeluk in 2012, kan mens byna nie glo hoe merkwaardig hulle aangepas het en hul matriekjaar met soveel welslae kon bemeester nie. Anandie behaal een onderskeiding, in lewensoriëntering, drie Bsimbole en twee Csimbole. RonaLee kry op haar simbolestaat een Bsimbool en twee Csimbole, met ‘n gemiddeld van 55%.
“Die Graad 12’s van 2014 het voorwaar groot skoene om vol te staan indien hulle die 2013 matrikulante se prestasie wil ewenaar of selfs wil verbeter,” is die boodskap van die skool.
Louwtjies ‘n top skool met 100%-slaagsyfer

Matriekuitslae rede vir vreugde maar ook skokVanjaar se matriekuitslae het gemengde reaks-ies uitgelok by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt.
Agtien van die skool se 164 matrieks het gedruip, met die skool wat ‘n 89,2% slaagsyfer oplewer. In vergeleke met 2012 se slaagsyfer van 94,8% was die uitslae vir die waarnemende skoolhoof, mnr. Theo Muller, teleurstellend. “Dit sal altyd ons as skool se mikpunt wees om ‘n 100% slaagsyfer te behaal en daarom is ons baie teleurgesteld dat ons nie dié mikpunt bereik het nie,” het Muller Woensdag gesê.
Aan die blinkkant van dinge het die matrieks wat wel geslaag het nie teleurgestel nie en baie goed presteer.
Die 2013matriekklas spog met 172 onderskeidings, 213 Bsimbole en 233 Csimbole. “Dit is die beste vir die afgelope vier jaar,” het Muller gesê. Die skool is ook op 7 Januarie tydens ‘n funksie van die onderwysdepartement in Polokwane aangewys as die 13de beste skool in die provinsie. ‘n Engelse onderwyser van die skool, mev. Hanéne Minnie, is aangewys as die beste Engelse (eerste addisionele taal) onderwyser in die provinsie en ontvang ‘n skootrekenaar as prys. Haar matriekklas het 30 onderskeidings behaal.
Tydens hierdie funksie in Polokwane is Triegies se toppresteerder, Sipho Mbadaliga, ook beloon vir sy prestasies. Hy het sewe onderskeidings behaal, en wel in rekeningkunde, wetenskap, wiskunde, Tshivenda (huistaal), ekonomie en Engels (addisionele taal). “Baie geluk, Sipho, met jou onderskeidings en 19de plek in die provinsie,” het Muller gesê.
Janeska Pretorius spog met ses A’s en is opgewonde om in Potchefstroom te gaan swot en ‘n rekenmeester te word. Sy het onderskeidings verwerf in Afrikaans eerste taal (80%), Engels eerste addisionele taal (89%), lewensoriëntering (88%), besigheidstudies (86%), rekeningkunde (89%) en rekenaartoepassingstegnologie (83%). Nog ‘n leerling wat ses onderskeidings behaal was
Andisani Malitsha, maar sy het Dinsdag nie haar rapport by die skool kom haal nie.
Claudé Lombaard sê sy gaan sielkunde swot aan die Universiteit van Bloemfontein. Sy behaal vyf onderskeidings, in Afrikaanse eerste taal (81%), Engels eerste addisionele taal (86%), lewensoriëntering (86%), besigheidstudies (91%) en biologie (83%).
Verlede jaar se Mej. Triegie en ook ‘n toppresteerder, Carin Barkhuizen, gaan in Stellenbosch studeer. Sy was nog besig met voorbereidings en haar ma, Marietjie, het haar sertifikaat by die skool afgehaal. Carin behaal vyf onderskeidings, in Afrikaanse eerste taal (87%), besigheidstudies (90%), Engels eerste addisionele taal (87%), biologie (86%) en lewensoriëntering (91%).
Leerlinge wat vier A’s verwerf het, was Gideon Scheepers, Jacques Labuschagne, Lufuno Raulinga en Lumbedzani Bulasigobo. Khumbudzo Thovhakale, Gert Smit, Leandra Bester, Talita Kloppers, Emmeldah Manganyi, Andisani Mbedzi, Carla Meintjies, Sherwin Moodley, AnzaTshilidzi Ramabulana en Akonaho Rambijana het almal drie onderskeidings verwerf.
“Ek wil die ouers van hierdie leerlinge gelukwens met hulle kinders se prestasies. Sonder julle motivering en aanmoediging sou hulle nie so suksesvol gewees het nie,” het Muller gesê. Die druipelinge het hy aangemoedig om harder te werk. “Julle het ons volle ondersteuning.”
Muller meen dat swak skoolbywoning en verkeerde vakkeuses bygedra het tot die druipsyfer. Hy het genoem dat 17 van die 18 leerlinge wiskunde gedruip het.
“Nie almal het die vaardighede om wiskunde en wetenskap te slaag nie, en die skool sal in die komende jaar meer aandag gee aan leerlinge wat in Graad 10 vakkeuses moet maak,” het Muller gesê.
Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se toppresteerder gedurende die 2013-matriekeksamen was Sipho Mbadaliga (middel). Saam met hom is sy ouers Vincent en Tshimangadzo. Hy het sewe onder-skeidings behaal en was die 19de beste leerling in die provinsie.
Bo: Van links na regs is Janeska Pretorius, wat ses onderskeidings behaal het, en Caludé Lombaard, wat vyf onderskeidings behaal het. Albei was leerlinge van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt.

Claudé Lombaard sê sy gaan sielkunde swot aan die Universiteit van Bloemfontein.Links: Gideon Scheepers het vier onderskeidings behaal.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe
Ps 84:2-5&11-13
‘n Kerkgebou is presies net dit: ‘n gebou. Dit is egter ‘n nuttige
gebou vir mense om te gebruik as plek om die Here saam te aanbid. Elke Sondag vergader lidmate van die gemeente met vreugde in hul harte om God te aanbid in die kerkgebou. Daar waar ons die Here kan aanbid ongeag die weer daarbuite.
Koning Dawid was afwesig van die plek van aanbidding en het verlang om terug te wees om saam met ander gelowiges die Here te aanbid. Dawid was lief vir die tye van aanbidding. Vir hom was een dag van aanbidding beter as ‘n duisend daarbuite. (Vers 11). Is jy so lief vir die Here?
Een van die liedere wat die pelgrims gesing het wanneer hulle na Jerusalem gegaan het vir die feeste was Psalm 122, wat begin met die woorde: “Ek was bly toe hulle vir my gesê het: Kom ons gaan na die huis van die Here toe.”
Kan jy hierdie woorde sê en dit met hart en siel bedoel? Dawid het daarvan gehou om tussen kinders van God te wees en dit moet die geval wees van ons wat Christus volg. Handelinge 17:48 sê God woon nie in tempels wat deur mense gemaak is nie. Ons is die tempel van God volgens Kor. 3:16. Dink daaraan; God woon in Sy kinders deur die Heilige Gees. Die wat vir Christus as Verlosser en Saligmaker ken kan die woorde van Ps. 23:6 met vrymoedigheid sing: “En ek sal tuis wees in die huis van die Here tot in lengte van dae. Dit is die koninkryk wat Hy vir Sy kinders voorberei het.”

Oujaarsoggend stop ‘n GP kar op die werf. Soos dit normaal is op ‘n plaas met ‘n pa
pegaaiboerdery, begin die voëls blaf en die honde storm nader.
Daisy loer deur die venster, lugtig vir vreemdelinge om haar in haar pyjamas te sien. Dis ‘n stowwerige swart kar met ‘n oop sondak. Die vensters is te donker om gesigte te herken.
“Seker iemand wat verdwaal het,” maak Daisy dit af en gaan klim onder die stort in.
Oomblikke later timmer Plore aan die badkamerdeur.
“Daisy, Daisy hier is mense vir jou! Hél, maar hulle het ‘n fô... fl ippen mooi kar. Top Gear sê daai Audi doen 0 tot 100 k.p.u in 8,5 sekondes!”
“Ugh,” kreun Daisy. “Plooooooore! Sê liewers wie die mense is? Ken jy hulle? Hoeveel mense is daar?”
Plore lag uitbundig. “Daise, kry klere aan daai lyf van jou en kom kyk self! Ek dink dis vriende van jou van die stad af,” giggel hy misterieus. Plore se taktiek werk besonder goed – vyf minute later storm Daisy met papnat hare op die stoep af.
“Piete, dis die Piete,” gil sy en probeer albei mans gelyktydig omhels. “Ek is só bly om julle te sien waar kom julle nou vandaan gaan dit goed met julle hoe lyk dinge in die stad,” borrel Daisy oor. Haar glimlag kan nie wyer nie. “Dis die grootste verrassing van die jaar,” sug Daisy terwyl trane oor haar wange loop.
“Wat van bietjie Earl Grey tee?” vra Ousus. “Ek sal gaan maak, dan gesels julle solank.”
“Hoorie dolla, is jy nou laf? Wie drink nou tee soos kommin staatsamptenare hierdie tyd van die oggend?” maak Pieter sy misnoë bekend. “Pieta, my skat, gaan haal jy die Coleman en die piekniekmandjie uit ons kar uit. Daisy, gaan haal solank vir ons ‘n paar kleinbordjies en eetgerei. Plore, gaan haal jy vir ons ‘n emmertjie ys en
die Tobasco. Ek pluk gou vir ons ‘n paar van daai heerlike vars suurlemoene. Ousus, het jy nie ‘n wit tafeldoek nie? Hierdie bont is heeltemal te besig, dit sal nie saam met my lapservette gaan nie.”
Niemand durf teëpraat nie. Selfs terwyl hy saam met Daisy skoolgegaan het op Musina, was hy so onstuitbaar soos ‘n stoomlokomotief. Al het almal hom Pietertjie genoem en was hy dikwels uitgesonder om geboelie te word deur die rugbyspelers, was hy formidabel. Sy hande het vir niks verkeerd gestaan nie – spyseniering, kleremaak, koeke bak. Niks het hom onder gekry nie – daarvoor was sy selfbeeld te gesond en sy persoonlikheid te groot. Deesdae is hy ‘n statussimbool in Pretoria – geen snob of welgestelde of ambassade waag dit om ‘n funksie te reël as Pieter Pauw nie betrokke is nie. Deur sy goeie vriend Nataniël ontmoet Pietertjie vir Pieta – ‘n algemene praktisyn met ‘n intense begeerte om eerder ‘n konsertpianis te wees. Dit was liefde met die eerste oogopslag vir die twee naamgenote.
Jakobus kom twaalfuur by die huis aan vir middagete. Sy mond hang oop toe hy buite kom. Hy groet die Piete gesellig, maar hy kan sy oë nie afhou van die kristal en silwer op die stoeptafel nie. Dis veral die groot silwerskinkbord met oesters op ys wat hom ‘n paar keer laat sluk.
“Nee dankie,” keer hy vinnig vir die duur Franse sjampanje. “Daai goed gee mens hoofpyn. Ek gooi liewers vir my ‘n dop. Blommie, is die kos klaar? Ek moet nog die arbeiders dorp toe vat vanmiddag voor ons kan uitgaan vanaand.”
“Jakobus, daar is nie kookkos vandag nie. Kyk net al die wonderlike kosse wat die Piete vir ons saamgebring het! Hulle het amper die hele spyskaart wat Daisy beplan het vir Kersfees hier aangebring. En daai hoop oesters ... Ek weet jy kan nie wag om jou hande daarop te kry nie!” Ousus se gesig is oortuigend ernstig, maar haar oë lag kliphard vir haar man se ongemak. “Kom sit, Jakobus. Ek maak solank vir jou ‘n beskuitjie met bloukaas en groenvye...”
Plore sien die paniek op sy pa se gesig en kom tot sy redding: “Pa, dis okei. Ek het seker gemaak daar is rys, vleis en aartappels vir ons twee. Kom ons gaan skep op terwyl die spulletjie hulle ladida piekniek hou en skinner.”
Daisy skaterlag. “Dankie Ousus, en dankie julle twee. Dit was die moeite werd net om die angs op daai twee se gesigte te sien! Die gedagte aan oesters eet is erger as ‘n swaar, snotterige verkoue vir hulle.”
Die volgende oggend sit Daisy tussen die twee Piete en kyk hoe die son breek oor die eerste dag van 2014. Hulle sit op ‘n eiland in die middel van die hengeldamme by Dissiplek. Alles is vars en somergroen; op die water is dit net die wit ganse wat rustig ronddryf.
“Daisy, wanneer kom jy terug Pretoria toe?” vra Pieta. “Ons mis jou vreeslik en hierdie kuiertjie was heeltemal te kort want ons moet vandag weer teruggaan na Pieter se mahulle toe by Weipe. Die Bosveld is charming, maar verlang jy nie na die glitz en glamour van die stad nie? Hierdie mense verstaan jou glad nie...”
“Is so, Pieta. Ja, ek raak vreeslik eensaam hier en dis bitter ver van als en almal wat vir my bekend is, maar gisteraand het ek weer besef – hierdie plek en mense groei op jou. Onthou jy toe daar die een enkele tango tussen al die sakkiesakkie deur speel en ek en jy gaan dans het? Het jy gesien hoe rek almal se oë? Hoe almal opgehou dans het om vir ons genoeg plek te gee? Hulle het ‘n uur daarna nog na ons gewys en agter hulle hande gefl uister.”
Daisy giggel. “Dis toe dat ek besef het, hierdie plek het entertainment nodig, Pieta. En ‘n nuwe iemand om oor te skinner. Hier is, after all, niemand anders wat die tango kan dans en die nuwe jaar met egte Franse vonkel ingaan nie.”
“Vir nou is my plek hier, Pieta. Om hierdie mense se saai lewens kleurvoller te maak! En dan is daar nog my boek wat moet klaar...” Sy sit haar arms om haar vriende en druk hulle styf vas.
“Maar wat ek vir seker weet – hierdie gaan ‘n gróót jaar wees vir almal van ons!”
Daisy begin deel word van die plaaslewe en die stad se liggies fl ikker dowwer, maar elke nou en dan gebeur iets wat haar laat wonder of sy ‘n kleurvolle blom in ‘n vreemde bedding is. Wanneer vriende vanuit die stad opdaag moet sy opnuut haar muse soek en kruisondervra.
se nuwe jaar begin met ‘n droom
Brief
Ek sal graag antwoorde wil kry
Na aanleiding van die berig “Rekeninggemors” in die Zout-
pansberger van 13 Desember, 2013, antwoord mnr. Louis Bobodi op ’n pertinente vraag as volg: “Ja, ons ondersoek altyd die probleme (chal-lenges) wat onder ons aandag gebring word.”
Ek sal graag mnr. Bobodi se antwoord op die volgende wil hoor:
* Ná ‘n verkeerde waterlesing in November 2012 sukkel ek al vanaf Desember 2012 om dit reggestel te kry.
* Vanaf Desember 2012 tot September 2013 is daar, na herhaalde versoeke, geen rekening vanaf die munisipaliteit vir waterverbruik ontvang nie.
* Ek neem elke maand ’n foto van die verbruik op die meter en stuur daarmee saam aan die munisipaliteit ’n brief wat versoek dat die pro bleem aandag moet kry, plus ’n gedetailleerde getabuleerde uiteensetting van gelde betaal volgens my verbruik plus die ander dienste.
* Een oggend gedurende April 2013 hou ’n bakkie op die sypaadjie stil en twee dames klim uit en stap na die watermeter toe. Op my navraag of ek kan help sê hulle toe hulle wil net die watermeter se lesing kom neem om seker te maak ek LIEG nie oor die lesings nie. Vir die lesing wat daardie oggend geneem is, het ek eers in Oktober 2013 ’n rekening ontvang.
* Ek het nog geen rekening ontvang wat enige van my inbeta lings refl ekteer nie.
Watter afl eiding moet ek en ander verbruikers in ‘n soortgelyke posisie maak?
* Mnr. Bobodi se stelling is of ‘n leuen of hy weet nie waarvan hy praat nie.
* Dit wil blyk dat onbevoegdheid hoogty vier in die Makhado Munisipaliteit, dat bestuur en beheer nie bestaan nie.
* Ook wil dit voorkom of die munisipaliteit en die fi rma wat die lesings moet neem kop in een mus is, omdat daar geen of ongereeld lesings geneem word, wat beteken dat die verbruiker weens oënskynlike hoër verbruik ekstra moet opdok. Sulke optrede ruik na bedrog en gemenespel.
Die optrede van die Makhado Munisipaliteit druis in teen die land se grondwetlike beginsels, munisipale wette, water en gesondheidswette tot benadeling van die in wo ners van Makhado (Louis Trichardt). Gesien in die lig van negatiewe ouditeurgeneraal verslae rakende die Makhado Munisipaliteit se fi nansies, en die huidige rekening fi asko, dink ek dit sal goed wees as die Belastingbetalersvereniging ’n lys maak van die vernaamste klagtes, ’n petisie uitskryf en aan die publiek voorlê vir handtekeninge, waarna dit aan die Openbare Beskermer gestuur word met ‘n versoek om ’n ondersoek na die bedrywighede van die Makhado Munisipaliteit te loods.

Brief
Wie’s vir die gemors verantwoordelik?
Voorspoed vir ons Zoutpans berger en al sy lesers.
Ek dink ons moet almal saamwerk om daardie voorspoed te be vorder deur die owerheidspersoneel aan te spreek oor hulle tekortkominge, want hulle sien niks raak wat verkeerd is nie en weet na 20 jaar se sogenaamde demokrasie nog steeds nie hoe om hulle werk behoor lik en op tyd te doen nie.
Die watertekorte en riooldrama gaan nou al vir jare onopgelos aan. Elektrisiteitsvoorsiening word kortkort onderbreek. Telkomdienste bestaan in baie gebiede nie meer nie. Paaie in en om die dorp is vol diep slaggate wat voertuie beskadig. Leë blikke, bottels en plastiek langs die paaie word ook nie verwyder
nie. Op die R524 van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) na Levubu is die laaste maande die vuilgoed minstens twee keer met groot spanne arbeiders wat mekaar op hulle voete trap of op die grond sit en eet, opgetel en in swart sakke langs die pad gestop, maar nooit weggery nie. Die geel lorrie het net daar rondgestaan met die drywer binne aan die slaap. Die sakke lê nou nog daar rond, waarvan die meeste al oopgebreek het. Wie is vir die gemors se toesig en organisasie verantwoordelik? Die lui en oorbetaalde kaders moet ‘n slag uit hulle kantore kom en kom kyk wat buite by die werk in 2014 aangaan, pleks van “meetings” hou en nonsens praat.
- Peter Ahrens
Letter
What have our dreams turned into?As someone who was born and
raised in the Makhado area but currently lives in Gauteng, I could not help but notice the appalling state of roads and water supply in the area.
I recently bought two properties in Makhado A decision I am now regretting when I read articles of poor service delivery dating back a few years.
I support all efforts by different pressure groups to help alleviate the situation. As a young person growing up in Tshikota in the 70s and
80s, I had dreams of seeing positive changes in my beautiful town which suffered from some of the worst racial divisions and inequalities. I am afraid the dreams of many of us have been turned into a nightmare.
My call is for all of us to continue to work towards creating a town and municipality we can all be proud of.
The crisis in Makhado calls for active citizenship.

Since the beginning of December 2013, at least 70 people died on Limpopo’s roads in a total of 98 accidents.
These figures were made available by the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) of South Africa. Of these fatalities, 20 people were killed in the Vhembe district.
The manager of the Makhado Fire Station, Mr Jack Ramalatso, confirmed the figures, adding that of these 20, nine lives were lost in road accidents in and around Makhado (Louis Trichardt). The station responded to a total number of 49 motor vehicle accidents.
Compared to the previous year, 2013 saw an increase of three more deaths on local roads. Compared nationally, Limpopo had reported the thirdlowest number of deaths. Kwazulu Natal and Gauteng reported the most accidents, 205 and 156 respectively. “But even though we can be glad about our figures,” said Ramalatso, “one life lost is still one too many.”
The RTMC reported two major accidents in Limpopo. On 6 December, nine people were killed on the N11 between Middelburg and Groblersdal. Five more people were killed on 22 December on
the R579 between Nebo and Jane Furse.Ramalatso also referred to a local accident, in
which a whole family was killed. This accident was not noted as major by the RTMC, who classifies a major accident as one in which five or more people are killed.
On 6 December, the Tshigodime family of Siloam was killed on the N1 north near the Witvlag turnoff. The youngest member of this family of four was six months old.
The RTMC said the contributory factors to road accidents during the festive season included dangerous overtaking, speeding, bad weather and driving under the influence of alcohol.
From the beginning of December, according to the RTMC, an estimated 986 people were arrested nationwide for drinking and driving and reckless driving. In Limpopo, a driver was released on R2000 bail for driving 171km/h in a 120km/h zone.
The Limpopo MEC for Roads and Transport, Mr Lehlogonolo Masoga, expressed his sympathy with families who lost loved ones in road accidents. He said that he was saddened by the rate at which lives were lost in the province. He visited several bereaved families during December.
In Memoriam
Mrs Ruth Rodda, a resident of Our Home Old Age Home in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) for the past eight years, passed away on 10 December 2013 at the age of 92 years.
Granny Ruth, as she was affectionately known to her grand and greatgrandchildren, was born in Cape Town. In 1942, she married Errol Rodda during the war, when he served in the South African Air Force.
After the war, Errol joined SAA and moved to Germiston, where he was involved in aircraft
maintenance. During this time, Clive and Dianne were born. They then relocated to Salisbury and Bulawayo whilst employed by the Department of Civil Aviation. Later, the family moved to Lusaka, Zambia, where he worked as chief aircraft inspector. Errol retired in 1968 and moved to Johannesburg and later, due to ill health, to East Londen, where he died in 1980.
During all this time, Ruth worked at various schools as a personal assistant. After her husband’s death, she moved to Louis Trichardt to be close to her daughter, Dianne, and Chris. She lived at Gronigen flats for many years, until her eyes started to deteriorate and then moved into the old age home. During this time she was an active member at the Louis Trichardt Bowls Club. She was also very involved in the Methodist Church community.
“She will be sadly missed by her children, Clive and Irene, Dianne and Christie, her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. The family wishes to thank all her friends for years of friendship. Exceptional thanks to the wonderful staff at Our Home who lovingly nursed her till the end. We would also like to thank Rob Novella at St Marks who conducted the memorial service,” says the family.

For the first time in 10 years the Makhado municipality has received a qualified opinion audit from the auditor general (AG). This ends several years of receiving a disclaimer from the AG, but it is not yet a clean audit, a goal that the munici-pality has set itself to achieve within a year.
Mr Gerald Odendaal from the AG’s office in Limpopo announced the findings during the final municipal council meeting held last year. The AG audited the council’s financial statements as at 30 June 2012 and the state
ments of financial performance, statement of changes in the net assets and the cash flow for the financial year 2012/2013.
Mr Odendaal said the finding was a huge improvement on previous years. He warned the municipality, however, to strive for a clean audit in the next financial year and to sort out the few remaining problems.
“There were issues we were not satisfied with, which include the contingent liability as well as the financial and management performance,” he said.
Mr Odendaal told the council
to include the integrated development plan (IDP) achievements in the performance report. “You will need to indicate on the performance report if you have achieved your IDP targets” he said.
The municipal mayor, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, had commended the chief financial officer and the municipal manager for their contributions. Cllr Mutavhatsindi said that the AG report proved that the current leadership was committed to rendering quality service to the people.

‘n Straatsmous van Makhado (Lou-is Trichardt) is voor stok gekry, nadat hy deur die polisie betrap is waar hy onwettige DVD’s in Son-gozwistraat verkoop het.
Die 22jarige Talent Mahoshani is op Oujaarsdag gearresteer en het Dinsdag in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof verskyn op ‘n klag van die besit van vervalste goedere vir die
doel van handel daarin. Tydens sy arrestasie het die plaas
like polisie op 30 onwettige DVD’s beslag gelê. Mahoshani, wat van Zimbabwe afkomstig is, het gesê dat hy nie bewus was dat dit onwettig was om in SuidAfrika DVD’s te smous nie.
Hy het ‘n skulderkenningsboete van R500 betaal.
Maandag se heerlike reënbui het dit vir meeste inwoners hier moeilik ge-maak om onder die lakens uit te kruip en werk toe te gaan. Vir talle was dit die eerste werksdag van 2014.

Stephen Hoffman, voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Distrikslandbouunie (SDLU), Dinsdag gesê. “Ek dink ons gaan ‘n goeie produksieseisoen hê.” Hoffman was optimisties dat veral Januarie se reënval die streek se grondwatertafel aangevul het. Hy het bygevoeg dat veral wild en beesboere sal baat by die reën. “As ons nog opvolg
reën kan kry in die volgende drie weke gaan dit ‘n goeie winter wees.”
Volgens Hoffman het Januarie se reënval wyer geval as Desember se reën. “Reënval was redelik beperk tot die Soutpansbergstreek,” het hy gesê. In Januarie, vertel Hoffman, het die reën oor die hele streek uitgesak. Maandagaand is daar berig ontvang van 140mm reën op Levubu. Op party plase is daar bietjie meer gemeet, en op andere plase tot 200mm gemeet. SDLU sekretaresse mev. Hester Bayes het bevestig dat die meeste boere in Levubu meer as 100mm reën ontvang het.
Die Waterpoortomgewing het tussen 140 en 180mm reën ontvang. Op ander plekke, soos Vivo en Alldays, het daar tussen 60 en 80mm reën geval.
In Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het mnr. Willie Agenbacht, wat al jare lank die dorp se reën opteken, 128mm reënval gemeet vir Desember. Oom Willie, soos hy alombekend is, het Dinsdag bevestig dat hy tot dusver, vir Januarie, al 90mm reënval aangeteken het in sy boekie.
Hy het gesê dat hy nog baie optimisties is vir nóg reën in Januarie. “Die miere is nog lekker bedrywig; ons sal maar moet sien of hulle reg is,” sê Oom Willie.
Inwoners in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) staan Maandag voor Absa Bank, op die hoek van Songozwi- en Kroghstraat, onder hul sambrele.
Reën bring vreugde vir boere

Die regering moet die geloofwaar-digheid van die 2013-matriekuitslae dringend onafhanklik laat verifieer.
Die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) in Limpopo is bekommerd oor 2013 se matriekuitslae en gaan dit dringend laat ondersoek. Hulle het verwys na die Limpopo se LUR vir onderwys, me. Dikeledi Magadzi, se bekendmaking van die provinsie se matriekuitslae Dinsdag in Polokwane. Die provinsie se algehele slaagsyfer vir 2013 is 71,8%.
Volgens provinsiale DA leier me. Desiree van der Walt is dié slaagsyfers nie so watwonders as wat Magadzi dit wil hê nie. Magadzi het bevestig dat daar verlede jaar 82 483 matrieks was wat eksamens afgelê het, waarvan 59 183 geslaag het en 18 781 universiteitstoelating ontvang het.
Van der Walt het haar kommer uitgespreek oor Magadzi se opmerklike stilswye aangaande die uitslae rondom wiskunde en wetenskap.
“Daar was geen verbetering [van voormalige Model Cskole] wat 100 of meer leerlinge gehad het wat wiskunde geslaag het nie,” het Van
der Walt gesê.Magadzi se opmerking dat hierdie
punte wel stelselmatige verbeter, is rede tot kommer en moet dringend aandag ontvang. Volgens die DA sal hoër punte in wiskunde en wetenskap die kwaliteit van slaagsyfers verbeter.
“Die slaagsyfer van 30% berei matrieks nie voor om kompeterend te wees in ‘n moderne ekonomie nie,” het Van der Walt gesê.
Die DA is van mening dat, in vergelyking met vorige jare se uitslae, daar ‘n te groot verskil is en dat die provinsie se slaagsyfers onder die soeklig geplaas moet word. Die algehele slaagsyfer vir 2012 was 66,9% en 63,9% in 2011.
Van der Walt het gesê dat die DA ‘n dringende, onafhanklike ondersoek sal aanvra. Daar sal ook gekyk word na skole wat sogenaamde swak leerlinge van Graad 10 af al begin “uitdun” om sodoende die matriekuitslae te beïnvloed.
“Ons moet versigtig wees om nie te vinnig fees te vier terwyl daar nog vele belangrike vrae is wat beantwoord moet word nie.”

The directors, management and staff of the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) congratulated Mrs Shonisami Davhana on the birth of her healthy baby girl, Murunwa Makhado, on Christmas Day 2013. She was born by normal delivery at 00:37 on the 25th. Little Murunwa weighed 2.74kg. She is welcomed and supported by EN Snyman and EN Rabali, the midwife.
Die verkoop van onvolwasse avo kado’s word vanaf 2014 verbied.
In die verlede is avokado’s wat nie behoorlik ryp word nie, drasties afgegradeer, maar kon nog verkoop word. Nou is die verkope daarvan, in terme van die Wet op Landbouprodukstandaarde, heeltemal verbode, lui ‘n verklaring van die Subtropiese Kwekersvereniging
(SUBTROP).“Avokado produsente word
aangeraai om seker te maak dat hulle vrugte aan die vereiste volwassenheidstandaard voldoen, voordat dit gepluk word.
“Vir die kultivar Fuerte moet die vrugte se voginhoud 80% of minder wees. Betroubare avokado pakhuise is almal in staat om die vereiste volwassenheidstoetse uit te voer. Inspekteurs sal
avokado volwassenheid op die nasionale varsproduktemarkte kontroleer. Daarom moet produsente seker maak hul vrugte voldoen aan die vereistes, voordat hulle oes, en sodoende nie die risiko loop dat die verkoop van hul vrugte verbied word nie.”
Vir verdere inligting oor die volwassenheidsbepalings kan SUBTROP by telefoon 015 307 3676 geskakel word.
Onvolwasse avokado’s is nou verbode
Congratulations
Hospital welcomes Christmas baby
The number of travellers who passed through the Beit Bridge Border Post during the festive period shot up to more than 600 000 surpassing the previous season’s 524 511.
Zimbabwe’s assistant regional immigration manager in charge of the border post, Mr Charles Gwede, said they handled 646 779 travellers on both exit and arrivals sides between 1 December and 2 January.
The highest number of travellers was recorded on 21 December, when immigration officials cleared 36 130 travellers on both entry and exit sides. On the departure side, the highest number was recorded on January 2 when 15 324 people left Zimbabwe.
Gwede said most of the travellers that they cleared were Zimbabweans working in South Africa who had visited home for the Christmas holiday. Gwede attributed the increase in the number of travellers to the South African documentation exercise, which saw many Zimbabweans working in the country acquiring permits.
“Many of our people staying and working in South Africa are now documented after they acquired authentic permits during the regularisation exercise in that country, hence they can now travel freely”.
Unlike in January last year, the border was less congested. “We did not encounter major challenges this time, despite an increase in the number of travellers compared to previous years. This is partly because of a phenomenal shift in movement trends, coupled with our decongestion strategies. We harmonised our operations with our South African counterparts, which is precisely why we managed to arrest congestion. Once there is congestion on either side of the border, it automatically affects movement on both sides,” said Gwede.
He said the movement of travellers, especially Zimbabweans working in South Africa, was spread out as people travelled earlier compared to the previous years, a development that also contributed to a reduction in congestion.
Zimbabweans constitute the highest number of travellers using Beit Bridge Border Post.
Last year during this time, the border was characterised by long, winding queues of cars, which stretched for more than 10km on the road leading to the port of entry and, in the process, disrupting the smooth flow of traffic in Beit Bridge.
Beit Bridge Border Post handles about 8 000 travellers daily, with the figures doubling up during peak periods such as the festive period.

Die nou reeds “welbekende” tru-grawerbestuurder van die Makhado Munisipaliteit, mev. Elizabeth Ramagilela (inlas bo), het alweer inwoners warm onder die kraag. Ramagilela, wat intussen deur inwoners as “Sikloon Elisa” gedoop is, het oor die feestyd massiewe skade aangerig aan infrastruktuur in Unikastraat. Terwyl sy agter die stuur was, het sy nie net ‘n mangat stukkend gesteek nie (foto onder), maar ook ‘n deel van die sypaadjie verwoes. Mnr. Freddie de Swardt het hierdie foto’s geneem terwyl Ramagilela die bome wat hy voor sy onderneming geplant het óók omgery het.
Munisipale Nuus
Belastingbetalers wil met Raad praatDie Soutpansberg Belastingbe-ta lersvereniging (SBBV) beoog om vroeg vanjaar samespre-kings met die munisipaliteit te voer in verband met ‘n reeks aktuele aangeleent hede.
In hul jongste nuusvrystelling het die SBBV se bestuur bevestig dat hulle reeds skriftelik beswaar gemaak het by die munisipaliteit oor die beoogde permanente sluiting en verkoop van Erf 1640, wat vroeër bekend was as die Al
wyn Park in die driehoek tussen Messinaweg, Louis Bothastraat en Kruger/Rivierstraat.
In sy beswaarskrif het die SBBV gesê die wyse waarop die munisipaliteit sy voorneme om die park te sluit en te verkoop, bekend gemaak het in sy jongste koerantadvertensie, is onaanvaarbaar.
Die advertensie wat gedurende Desember geplaas is, in ‘n stadium toe heelwat inwoners reeds
met vakansie vertrek het, laat nie voldoende tyd vir inwoners wat beswaar wil aanteken nie.
Belastingbetalers wat bepaalde sake het wat hulle ook onder die aandag wil bring, kan Phillip Olivier skakel by tel. 082 679 8324 of per epos by [email protected].

Beit Bridge villagers at Tshikwalakwala area near the Zimbabwe-South Africa border are living in fear, following re-ports that another pride of stray lions has surfaced in the village.
According to villagers, the lions have so far killed 12 cattle and 10 donkeys in the last four months. They suspectedly originated from the Kruger National Park.
The local ward councillor, Enock Ndou, confirmed the latest development to Zout-pansberger saying villagers in the affected areas were losing donkeys and cattle to the lions. “We have a serious problem of stray lions, which have descended on Tshikwal
akwala and surrounding areas. Last week, the lions killed three donkeys,” said Ndou.
Ms Molly Chauke, a local villager, said that they continued to endure “the pain of losing our livestock. This problem has been going on for years and there seems to be no end in sight.”
Ndou added that the issue had since become a perennial problem and “we are appealing to the relevant authorities to address this problem as a matter of urgency before villagers lose their lives.”
Beit Bridge is a droughtprone district and local farmers largely rely on cattle ranching as the major economic activity.
Ndou said although there were no reports of human deaths, the animals were now a posing a threat to children, particularly those travelling long distances to school.
Over the years, villagers have been encountering a similar problem. At the beginning of last year, villagers at neighbouring Shashane village lost more than 20 cattle and several donkeys to the lions. In the same year, elephants had descended on Shashane and Tshamaswiswi, where they destroyed crops. In May 2010, the elephants also killed three people, among them a pregnant woman and her three
yearold toddler.

Leon en Johan het op Dinsdag, 17 Desember, saam met vriende by Suid-Afrika se mees suidelike punt, Kaap Agulhas, aangekom en so die eerste been van hul Suiderkruisprojek klaargemaak. Foto: Project Southern Cross, Facebook.
Met ‘n vleisie wat sissend op die kole braai het die twee Van Dijkorst-broers Dinsdag die feit gevier dat hulle so te sê klaar is met hulle Suiderkruis-projek.
Johan, ‘n inwoner van Makhado (Louis Trichardt), en sy broer, Leon, se fi etsrit van ongeveer 4 200km was in die vorm van ‘n kruis wat van noord na suid gestrek het en dan weer van wes na oos. Hulle het op 30 November anderkant Musina, op die plaas Overvlakte, weggespring en het op 17 Desember aangekom by SuidAfrika
se mees suidelike punt, Kaap Agulhas.Dinsdagaand het Johan en Leon pas
by Port Nolloth aangekom, waar hulle ‘n vleisie gebraai het. Hulle sou Woensdag die laaste skof van 90km aanpak na Alexanderbaai – hulle eindbestemming. “Maar ons sal rustig en op ons tyd trap,” het Johan vinnig bygevoeg. “Die reis het ons kragte so ‘n bietjie getap,” het hy gesê.
Net die week tevore moes die twee avonturierbroers die skofte tussen plekke soos Upington, Pofadder en Springbok in
uitmergelende hitte afl ê. In ‘n stadium, so vertel Johan, het die kwik gestyg tot 46°C.
Altesaam 80% van die fondse wat hulle ingesamel het met die rit sal gaan na organisasies wat veiligheid op plase bevorder. Die oorblywende fondse sal verdeel word tussen organisasies wat renosterstropery beveg en die Gideons vir Bybelverspreiding. Johan en Leon beplan om ná Alexanderbaai huiswaarts te keer – met ‘n voertuig natuurlik – en dan teen die naweek weer terug te wees by die huis.
Broers moeg, maar amper daar
