STEELPOORT - ‘n Klein vegtertjie. Dit is klein Axelle Strydom wat op 26 weke gebore is en slegs 900 gram geweeg het.

Haar ouers, Coenraad en Anica Strydom, se dokters het hulle tydens die swangerskap reeds voorberei vir die ergste: hulle baba sou dit nie oorleef nie, maar vandag is hulle met ‘n klein wonderwerkie geseën.

“Ek het op 30 Desember 2014 vir die eerste keer uitgevind ek is reeds 10 weke swanger. Dit was ‘n groot verrassing omdat ons nie vir ‘n baba beplan het nie, maar ek en Coenraad was albei opgewonde. Ek was vir my maandelikse afsprake by ons huisdokter in Steelpoort. Met my eerste afspraak in Januarie het die dokter op die sonar twee ontwikkelde selle gesien, wat sou beteken dat ek geseënd was met ‘n tweeling. Met my tweede besoek het die sonar egter gewys dat net een sel verder ontwikkel het. My kraamdatum was vir 10 Augustus 2015 geskeduleer, ” vertel Anica.

Die opvolgende twee maande het haar swangerskap glad verloop en haar dokter was baie tevrede.

Drie dae na haar volgende opvolgbesoek, het sy probleme ervaar en is terug dokter toe. “Hy het vir my gesê dit was infeksie en dat dit nie vir my of die baba ‘n gevaar inhou nie. Ek moes vir drie dae in die bed bly tot die infeksie sou opklaar.”

Na die drie dae is Anica terug werk toe, maar haar probleme was nie verby nie. Die komplikasies het vererger en Coenraad het haar na die noodkliniek in Steelpoort

geneem waar die dokter ‘n sonar geneem

het. Die baba se hartklop was normaal en hy het

haar ook net vyf dae se bedrus aanbeveel. Terug by die

huis het Anica begin kla oor pyn wat later vererger het. “Ek het reeds kraampyne begin ervaar, maar ons het dit nie besef nie omdat dit nog so vroeg in die swangerskap was.

“Ek het haar die volgende oggend terug geneem na ons huisdokter toe. Sy was in kraam en ons is dadelik Middelburg toe

gestuur as ‘n noodgeval, ” vertel Coenraad.Anica was byna 26 weke swanger toe sy

in die MidMed Hospitaal opgeneem is. Daar is vasgestel dat sy reeds ontsluit het en haar ginekoloog het ook op die sonar vasgestel dat sy byna geen vrugwater gehad het nie. aangesien dit tydens haar infeksie uitgeskei is. Die bietjie wat daar was, was besmet. Dit sou die swangerskap baie negatief beïnvloed het omdat die baba se longe op 26 weke nie ten volle ontwikkel is nie, wat sou veroorsaak dat die baba nie teen die besmette vrugwater bestand was nie.

Sy het medikasie ontvang om die

kraamproses te stuit en haar ginekoloog het ‘n berader vir Anica en Coenraad laat kom om hulle voor te brei vir die volgende stap: om die baba te verwyder sodra die infeksie verminder het omdat die baba nie sou oorleef nie.

Die volgende dag, 21 Mei, het sy ‘n noodkeiser ondergaan. Coenraad is voorberei op die ergste - dat Anica die operasie sou oorleef, maar nie die baba nie.

“Anica is onder verdowing geplaas en die operasie is begin. Sowat ‘n kwartier later, het ek ‘n geskreeu gehoor - die baba het oorleef!” vertel hy.

Die Strydoms is toe geseën met ‘n babadogtertjie nadat daar geen hoop was dat sy sou oorleef nie. Sy is dadelik aan ‘n suurstofmasjien en monitors gekoppel omdat sy slegs 900 gram geweeg het. Anica het die volgende dag haar dogtertjie vir die eerste keer gesien nadat sy tot haar volle bewyssyn gekom het. Coenraad vertel dat sy pa, Corrie, die naam Axelle gekies het omdat dit liefde en vreugde beteken.

Anica is op 22 Mei ontslaan, maar klein Axelle moes nog vir twee maande in die hospitaal bly totdat sy twee kilogram weeg en self kon drink.

Op 14 Junie kon die trotse ouers Axelle vir die eerste keer vashou en op 18 Julie is sy uit die hospitaal met ‘n stewige gewiggie van 2,5kg ontslaan.“Ons wil graag net dankie sê aan almal wat ons bygestaan het deur die moeilik tyd en ook vir Coenraad se werkgewers, Ngululu Bulk Carriers en laastens vir die Rotariërs in Middelburg vir al hul gebede en ruikers wat ons ontvang het,” voeg Anica by.

Omdat klein Axelle so vinnig haar opwagting gemaak het, word Anica se ooievaarstee nou op 15 Augustus gehou. As daar enige vriende of familie is wat nog nie ‘n uitnodiging ontvang het nie, maar dit graag wil bywoon, kan hulle vir Ina Jacobs by 079-6912262 skakel.

BURGERSFORT - Five suspects are still at large after Choppies Supermarket was robbed on July 13. The incident took place at about 18:40 when three suspects entered the store while two others kept watch at the entrance.

“The three men acted like shoppers when they entered the supermarket. After gaining access to the store they pulled out pistols to threaten the employees. The other two stood by the entrance armed with a pistol and shotgun to prevent people from entering or leaving. The three armed suspects inside took money from the tills and ordered the employees to open the cash safe. The incident lasted for a matter of 10 to 15 minutes. They fl ed the scene in a silver Colt bakkie,” reported Jan Oosthuizen, owner of National Guarding Security Services.

No one was injured during the robbery and the local police, with the help of National Guarding, assisted the traumatised staff members at the scene. The police were still investigating the robbery and at this stage they could not reveal the amount of money that had been stolen.

National Guarding requests the community to share any information that they might have regarding the fi ve suspects.

LYDENBURG - ‘n Man wat sedert 2004 aan ‘n rolstoel gekluister is na hy in ‘n motorongeluk betrokke was en sy regterbeen daarna geamputeer is, is Saterdag glo opname in Lydenburg Hospitaal geweier.

Mnr. Jannie Venter (51) het Vrydag uit sy rolstoel by sy vrou, Sanet se werk by Welma Slaghuis in die Kwenadam-omgewing geval. Sedert die val het hy baie pyn verduur en het Sanet hom Saterdagoggend vroeg na die hospitaal geneem. Toe hulle daar kom, het die suster wat opnames behartig, glo geweier om hom op te neem. “Sy was vreeslik ongeskik en het gesê dat sy hom nie gaan opneem nie, maar eers haar tee gaan drink,” het Sanet vertel.

Die Venters moes toe noodgedwonge die hospitaal verlaat om later terug te keer in ‘n tweede poging om hom te laat opneem.

Mnr. Johan Schmahl, by wie die paartjie al vir die afgelope twee jaar op ‘n plaas in die Badfontein-omgewing woon, het die koerant ontstoke gebel en van die voorval verwittig. “Dit is onaanvaarbaar. Hoe kan sy weier om hom op te neem en dan boonop aanvoer dat sy eers haar tee gaan klaar drink! Dit is belaglik. Ek wil hulle by die mediese beheerraad gaan verkla.”

Toe die Venters vir die tweede keer terugkeer, is hulle deur een van Steelburger/Lydenburg Nuus se verslaggewers vergesel.

Die betrokke suster aan diens, wat nie ‘n naamplaatjie gedra het nie en nie haar naam wou verskaf nie, het Jannie hierdie keer sonder skroom laat opneem.

Dit is egter nie net die diens by die hospitaal wat Saterdagoggend gekwel het nie, maar die toestand van die toiletgeriewe het ook veel te wense oorgelaat. Die vloer was vuil en bemors met wat na ontlasting gelyk het en dit wou voorkom of die geriewe

lanklaas ontsmet is. Sanet het aan die koerant vertel dat sy baie bekommerd is oor die higiëne, aangesien Jannie baie vatbaar is vir blaasinfeksie.

Steelburger/Lydenburg Nuus het haar Maandag geskakel om te hoor hoe dit met haar man gaan. Sy het bevestig dat dit baie beter met hom gaan en dat hy vir X-strale geneem was. “Hy het darem niks gebreek nie, maar met die val het sy spiere in spasma gegaan. Hy gaan nou fi sioterapie kry.”

Die koerant het navrae oor die aangeleentheid aan die Mpumalanga Departement van Gesondheid gestuur. Die

departement het in ‘n verklaring gesê dat Jannie

opgeneem is, die presiese tyd wat die

woordvoerder van die departement, het die “professionele” verpleegster gevra dat Sanet na die rekeningafdeling gaan om sy lêer te kry. “Die betrokke verpleegster het Jannie toe ondersoek.

“Sy vrou het teruggekeer met die lêer en die pasiënt verwys na die dokter aan diens. Die dokter het medikasie voorgeskryf, X-strale geneem en hy is teruggestuur huistoe.”

Malamule meen dat geen verpleegster op tee-breek was toe die Venters daar gekom het nie.

“In ieder geval mag geen pasiënt opname geweier word as gevolg van tee- of etenstye nie. Ondersoeke na kliëntediens word op ‘n gereelde basis gedoen. Die badkamers was nie so skoon soos gewoonlik nie as gevolg van wateronderbrekings in die dorp onderwyl nuwe pype deur Thaba Chweu Munisipaliteit aangelê word.”

Police operation leads to a decrease in crime

LYDENBURG - Recently the local SAPS successfully launched Operation Fiela in an attempt to combat crime in town.

Various other SAPS stations from around town and Phoenix Flying Squad, K9 and Mounted Security Squad formed part of the operation.

According to station commander of Lydenburg SAPS, Col Hans Putter, this was organised on account of illegal foreigners in the Marikana settlement which contributes to a large number of crimes in the Lydenburg station precinct.

“Illegal foreigners have settled in the area and are involved in dealing in drugs. The Marikana community is aggressive, which hampers normal policing duties. Stolen goods are being sold as a form of income due to the fact that the majority of these people are unemployed.”

He said normal day-to-day operations seemed to be ineffective to police the local taxi rank.

“Information gathered by crime intelligence indicated that drugs, such as dagga and nyaope, were being sold at the taxi rank by vendors. The rank is also being used to sell stolen property from burglaries at residential premises and theft out of motor vehicles.”

More than 140 officers gathered at Rooikat Park on the Friday morning to discuss the roll-out of the operation. From there they dispatched into smaller groups to perform various clamp downs in specific areas in town.

All roads leading towards town were blocked and vehicles were searched. Putter and officers of the White River K9 Unit also managed to confiscate a large amount of drugs, consisting of heroin, full-moon crack cocaine and 18 bags of Khat in an alley in Kantoor Street.

The drugs were cleverly stashed in air vents in the public restrooms of the rooms being rented out in the alley. Because no

Narda Vermaak

drugs were found in the possession of four suspects at the scene, no arrests could be made.

Lydenburg SAPS also managed to arrest no less than 19 illegal immigrants during this operation which will be deported to their country of origin.

Putter said that the operation was a huge success and that crime has decreased drastically.

LYDENBURG - A SAPS K9 Unit constable appeared in the Lydenburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday, August 3 for allegedly defeating the ends of justice and for corruption.

This follows after he was arrested by the Hawks during a sting operation on Friday, July 31.

According to the acting Hawks spokesman, Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi, the constable was arrested following an investigation into a report by a Lydenburg resident. “A complainant opened a case with the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) head office in which

Bridget Mpande he alleged the constable unlawfully took R50 000 from them,” he said.

“It is reported that the accused stopped two men who were suspected of dealing in illicit cigarettes on Tuesday, June 21. He found R510 000 cash in their car. The police constable threatened to arrest them and confiscated the money. He loaded them into the police van and drove to Lydenburg industrial area where he took R50 000 and gave them R460 000 back,” said Mulaudzi.

“The two men refused to take the money and reported the matter to DPCI. The case was investigated which lead to the arrest of the officer,” he said. The constable remains in custody and the case was postponed to Wednesday, August 12.

PRAKTISEER - The days of Tubatse residents travelling long distances to renew their licences or to do their driver’s licence tests have finally came to an end.

The Greater Tubatse Municipality (GTM) recently announced that their station was now operating again.

“The Praktiseer Traffic Station is now operating and locals are advised to utilise it,” GTM spokesman, Mr Thabiso Mokoena revealed.

Mokoena added that the renovations for the station had not yet been finalised, “We are busy with the upgrading of the ablution facilities, electrical and technical problems as well as the structure of the building. We are also in the process of equipping

Previously, learners and motorists who needed help with their expiring driver’s licences were turned away and advised to

travel to Lydenburg or to Lebowakgomo traffic stations for assistance.

It’s not the first time the station makes the headlines for wrong reasons. In 2012, staff downed tools in demand of water at the station. Locals highlighted that they hope the station’s problems were water under the bridge.

LYDENBURG - William Turner Boshoff, beter bekend as Wimpie by al sy skoolmaats en by familie as Wimps, is steeds op die herstelpad na ‘n ongeluk in 2014 wat sy lewe handomkeer verander het.

Boshoff was in Februarie verlede jaar in ‘n motorfietsongeluk op die Longtompas betrokke. Volgens sy suster, Joey, weet hulle steeds nie wat gebeur het nie. “Ons wens ons kon die horlosie se wysers tot daardie presiese oomblik terugdraai om Wimps te beskerm. Hy is eers die volgende oggend deur ‘n drawwer gevind.

“Hy het bloeding op die brein gehad, van sy ribbes was gebreek wat bloeding in sy longe veroorsaak het, sy lewer was geskeur en sy arm was gebreek.”

As gevolg van die swelling op sy brein moes sy skedel verwyder word. Hy is later na ‘n breinrehabilitasiesentrum in Gauteng vir meer intense fisioterapie oorgeplaas.

Teen die tyd dat sy mediesefonds laat weet het dat ‘n operasie kon voortgaan om sy skedel terug te plaas, het nog ‘n skok op die familie gewag: Die rehabilitasiesentrum het nooit Wimpie se skedel gevries nie en sy skedel het verrot. ‘n Spesiale bedekking is toe oor sy brein geplaas.

Intussen het hy na Lydenburg teruggekeer waar sy ma, Ina, hom voltyds versorg. “Wimps is as ‘n TBI- oftewel traumaties-breinbeseerde pasiënt geklassifiseer wat beteken hy kan niks vir homsef doen nie en

Narda Vermaak 24 uur per dag sorg nodig het,” verduidelik Joey.

Wimpie se herstelproses gaan met groot finansiële verpligtinge gepaard. Joey vertel dat haar ouers die verpleegsuster wat met Wimpie se sorg gehelp het, moes laat gaan. “My ouers het nou net ‘n huishulp wat hulle bystaan en eersdaags sal ons haar ook moet laat gaan. Die mediesefonds dek nie meer

al Wimpie se koste nie. Al is my pa grotendeels verantwoordelik vir die koste, gaan hy nie lê nie. Vir ‘n pa en ma om ‘n kind weer van voor af te leer ken, is klaar moeilik. My ouers moet van voor af leer om met hom te werk en om finansiële druk ook te hê. Dit is erg.”

Sy meen dat hulle nooit gedink hulle sou vir hulp moet vra nie. “Ek dink egter dat almal wat Wimps geken het, hom sal wil help want hy het altyd gehelp as hy kon.”

Om fondse vir Wimpie in te samel en om te verseker dat hy steeds die nodige behandeling tydens sy herstelproses kan ontvang, word daar op 29 Augustus, 3 Oktober, 31 Oktober en 28 November ‘n vlooimark ten bate van hom by Rooikatpark gehou. Al die geld wat ingesamel word, gaan in Wimpie se trustrekening inbetaal word.

Vir slegs R20 per stalletjie kan enigiemand deel wees van die mark. Navrae: Elsmarie by 076-317-8190.

LYDENBURG - It seems that winds of change are blowing in Thaba Chweu Municipality (TCM).

The newly elected mayor, chief whip and members of the mayoral committee (MMCs) said they would do their utmost to return TCM back to its former glory.

Ms Tiny Mabuza, MMC for finance and technical support, told the newspaper that the appointment of the new committee members was in line with their turnaround strategy.

“We would like the community to come forward so that we can work collectively together, even with the opposition, because we as the MMCs alone cannot work without support, but together we can do

more,” she said.Mr Marcus Mashego, MMC

for corporate services and human settlements, said since they had been joined by Mabuza, who came from the Ehlanzeni District Municipality, they could ensure that TCM would rise again.

“All the portfolios are linked. Finance, technical, corporate, community services and human settlement work hand in hand.

“I can assure the community that we will be working together

supporting the newly elected mayor to ensure that service delivery will be a priority.

“With the team that has been assembled now, we are sure that we will succeed,” he said.

The mayor, Ms Selina Mashego, said the municipality had a “very big elephant called Eskom”.

“We want to make sure that we work with the community to ensure that we pay the Eskom account. This is also relevant to the water crisis the town has been facing the past couple of days. We need to make sure that there is water in each and every area of TCM.

“I will do my best to serve as mayor. I will also make sure to visit each area of town to find out what problems residents are experiencing,” she added.

The new mayoral committee comprises Ms Maskososana Masilela (chief whip), Mr Idos Mokoena (MMC for technical services), Ms Selina Mashego (mayor), Ms Tiny Mabuza (MMC for finance and technical support), Mr Marcus Mashego (MMC for corporate services and human settlement) and Ms Susan Magagula (Speaker).

BURGERSFORT - Not only are potholes and traffic lights a concern to local motorists, but an almost unnoticeable stop sign poses a danger as well.

Several residents complained about the one opposite Mogale wa Bagale Secondary School.

“The stop sign is hidden and we only see it when we’re close by, because it’s covered by bushy and tall thorn trees,” one of the parents, Mr Thabo Madalane complained.

He suggested that the sign be made higher to enable visibility.

When Steelburger/Lydenburg News visited the site, people

drove past the stop sign without even yielding.

Learners attending Mogale wa Bagale confirmed that drivers never stopped at this sign.

“We are used to seeing them passing without slowing down, we are not sure if they do it on purpose or indeed they cannot see the sign,” one learner said.

Spokesman for the Greater Tubatse Municipality, Mr Thabiso Mokoena, said it was not responsible for cleaning up national roads.

He referred all the questions to the Road Agency Limpopo, which did not respond to questions before going to print.

Below follows a brief overview of Rian Burger’s career to date:

Rian started his career as an Accountant in 1997 at Northern Transvaal Cooperation’s Head offi ce. At the end of 1998 he joined Sunbake in Tzaneen as the Financial Manager.

In 2003 Rian entered the Mining Industry as a Management Accountant at Dwarsrivier Mine, and in 2011 he was promoted to Financial Manager. Rian holds a B.Com Financial Management Degree

as well as an Honours Degree in Cost and Management Accounting. Rian said that he is very proud to have been part of the Dwarsrivier team for the past 12 years.

He has seen the company go through tough times and he has also seen the company grow. Dwarsrivier is not “just another company” to him it has become part of his life and is in his blood. Rian is also very excited to be the General Manager of a company with so many talented and career-driven employees, and

he cannot wait to see Dwarsrivier reach new heights and excel to be the employer of choice.

During a ceremony that was recently held, former Senior General Manager, Mthi Mtshengu handed over the ceremonial pinch bar, which is a miner’s best friend, to the newly appointed General Manager, Rian Burger.

We congratulate Rian on his appointment, and wish him all of the best for his career ahead.

GEMEENSKAP12 Steelburger / Lydenburg News Friday August 7, 2015

LYDENBURG - Longtom Nissan het verlede Vrydag ‘n splinternuwe Nissan Qasqai 1.5 dci aan die talentvolle jong Puma-rugbyspeler, Corné Fourie, geborg.

Fourie speel loskopstut vir die Pumas in die Currie- en Vodacombeker en Superrugby vir die Leeus.

Volgens Longtom Nissan is die voertuig geborg omdat hulle oortuig is dat Fourie nog groot hoogtepunte gaan bereik.

Hy het onlangs ‘n nuwe kontrak met die Leeus gesluit en is as junior Springbokspeler van die jaar vir 2007 en 2008 aangewys. Fourie was ook die Vodacomspeler van die jaar vir die Pumas in 2012.

In 2014 is hy ook deur SA Rugby genomineer vir die drie van die jaar in die

Die binnenshuise 2015 Oppiplotpark-dorpskrieketliga is in volle swang.

Die eerste wedstryde is reeds tussen 27 en 29 Julie gespeel en spanne wou sommer vroeg hul stempel op die toernooi afdruk.

Pat Engelbrecht

Binnenshuise krieketliga se eerste wedstryde ’n wegholsuksesDie eerste week se uitslae is soos volg

Chrome Ville 72 - Super Stars 109Sons of Pitches 53 - Hana’s 126Westvaal 143 - Toyota 42Eastern Chrome 125 - Talisman 31.

Spanne wat binnenshuise krieket speel, bestaan uit agt spelers wat elk twee boul- en vier kolfbeurte kry. Lopies word toegeken op grond van waar die bal die verskeie nette tref, maar slegs wanneer die kolwers ‘n lopie hardloop. Maksimum lopies kan behaal word wanneer die kolwer die teenoorgestelde net direk raakslaan en ‘n

lopie hardloop. ‘n Kolfpaar kolf vier beurte, maar vyf

lopies word afgetrek wanneer hy uitgegee word.

Oppiplotpark beoog om binnekort met ‘n binnenshuise netbal/korfbaltoernooi te begin en enige belangstellendes kan André by 083-610-1241 skakel.

Laerskool Burgersfort was fi lled to the rafters this past Saturday for their annual minicricket tournament.

The school invited Ohrigstad and Drakensig primary schools to participate in the event which took place at the sports ground.

The participants were the grades Rs, ones, twos and threes. Teachers and parents took turns to help the learners polish their batting,

Tournament helps children perfect their cricket skills

bowling and fi elding techniques.Elize Lotter, organiser of the games, told

Steelburger/Lydenburg News that their school had enormous natural talent in cricket.

“If we can nurture the talent we have, we will produce some great cricketers from our shores. We have our own Dale Steyn and Hashim Amla among these young boys and girls. I was surprised to see some of the learners doing the wrist and fi nger spinning.”
