Bulletin 140214

The astounding neglect of prime assets in the once picturesque Modjadjiskloof seems to be a never-ending process. Property values keep on tumbling and business people are frustrated by decline

in sales because of poor service delivery.This week the Bulletin stumbled across

the “ruins” of a prominent residence at 30 Mabel Street, a municipal homestead with fi ve bedrooms earmarked for town clerks and municipal managers. With its sett ing, double garage and once well-kept gardens the property was a sought after investment, as it was never occupied by any municipal manager.

Within fi ve years this prime residence was demolished by thieves and looters to a mere shell of walls without amenities.

The garden is overgrown with weeds, the entrance to the garage is impenetrable and the interior is stripped of all its electric cables, copper piping, baths and wash basins. A nearby property owner said the erf could be worth something, but the building is not worth repairing.

Last week the Bulletin reported on a live cable lying around in the streets of the suburb Panorama. An offi cial reply from the municipality stated that the scene could not be cleared up because their service provider ran out of stock. They would nevertheless take measures to safeguard the life-threatening cable.

The scene was revisited two days ago and nothing has changed. Several calls to the municipal manager, Ms Lori Mashaba, were unsuccessful, as she was on voice-mail.

The Asset Management Policy of local governments states clearly that a municipality is the custodian of any property on its name and derived from ratepayers’ money. In following issues the Bulletin will reveal how the GLM has failed as custodians of several neglected assets in and around Modjadjiskloof.

Tydens die proses het alle pos en foto’s verlore gegaan, maar die lede/vriende/volgelinge is gekonsolideer onder die nuwe blad (sonder dat hulle weer aansoek hoef te doen om bygevoeg te word).

Vlieg is nou nie altyd so seker oor wett e en sulke goed nie. Om die waarheid te sê, as daar nou een spulletjie is wat hy opsetlik meer vermy as sogenaamde skrifgeleerdes, is dit wetsgeleerdes. Enersyds omdat niemand ‘n enkele ding kan glo wat enige van hulle sê nie, en andersyds omdat Vlieg nie een van die twee meer kan bekostig nie.

Van nugtere benadering, in die volksmond bekend as common sense, kan niemand egter vir Vlieg iets vertel nie. As niemand anders dan so dink nie, ag hy ten minste homself ‘n kenner op dié gebied te wees.

Wat Vlieg wel uit sy katkisasiedae verstaan van die wet van Mede en Perse, is dat dit ‘n onherroeplike wet is. Deesdae is daar maar bra min wett e wat dus by hierdie een kan kers vashou, maar as Vlieg nou een ding van

common sense met wett e moet vergelyk, is dat symste common sense ook nogal die geneigdheid het om onherroeplik te wees.

Dit is, of dit is nie, so eenvoudig soos dit. Selfs Koning Darius van ouds het geweet dit staan vas, en basta!

Maar soos dit maar gaan met mense, verstaan hulle maar

weinig hiervan en raak maklik gekonfoes. Skynbaar omdat die wet van Mede en Perse vir Daniël in die leeukuil laat beland het, en hy dit sonder ‘n enkele letsel die anderdag more daaruit gemaak het, dink elke tweede vakansieganger en toeris deesdae hulle is ook ‘n Daniël. En dan kan hulle nie verstaan as die onherroeplikheid van common sense hulle aan die hakskeen byt nie!

Vlieg wonder wanneer gaan die lot nou leer dat wilde diere wel juis dit is: wilde

diere. Vlieg wonder wat besiel ‘n Chinese toeris

om in ‘n leeukamp uit sy motor te klim, om foto’s te neem. En wat maak ‘n Duitse toeris om tot teenaan ‘n olifant te ry? En wat het ‘n ouer gedink om sy kind teen die leeukamp se draad te laat staan? Hoekom wil enigiemand ‘n tier se kop vryf en saam met ‘n jagluiperd in die gras rol, of sy vinger in ‘n krokkodil se bek druk?

Hoeveel keer moet ons nog in die nuuspapiere lees van wilde diere wat die skuld kry vir absurde menslike gedrag. En dan nog erger, dat die diere vankant gemaak word, omdat hulle mense aangeval het! Blykbaar iets met die diere verkeerd!

Is hierdie dan ‘n geloofstoets soos in die fabel van oorle Daniël van ouds in die leeukuil, of kan Vlieg maar sy kop skud oor hierdie onherroeplike gebrek aan common sense?

Vlieg in die leeukuil Vlieg praat met die Volk en krap waar dit jeuk... Vlieg

Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, ensovoorts van Vlieg is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin nie!

A toilet at the Hoedspruit clinic has been blocked for two years. Another toilet’s door has been locked for more than a year. Several reports to the relevant district o� cials of the Healt Department have proven to be unsuccessful.

So says the DA in Limpopo’s caucus leader, Ms Desiree van der Walt. She urged the Health Minister to intervene by establishing a task team to probe the matter.

Termites have also moved into the roof of the clinic and an infestation of ants is visible. “We

requested the department to intervene, but nothing has been done. The DA thus escalated the matter by requesting the Health Minister, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, to urgently establish a task team to attend to the matters.

“The clinic is also facing a major service delivery crisis. The patients have to wait between two and four hours before they are attended to, because of the acute sta� shortage at the clinic.

“The geyser is not working either,” Van der Walt said.

Die burgemeester van die Groter Letaba Munisipaliteit, mnr City Modjadji, ry met ‘n splinternuwe ampsmotor van meer as R1 miljoen rond, terwyl die vorige motor skadeloos onderdak staan om so oor twee of drie jaar verkoop te word.

Dit word ook vertroulik verneem dat die geld vir die nuwe motor eintlik bedoel was vir ‘n nuwe sportstadium in die GLM-gebied (by Kgapane), maar dat die bedrag inderhaas verskuif is na ‘n ander “prioriteit”.

Modjadjiskloof se belastingbetalers mor ook

oor ‘n spekvet stootskraper wat op bestelling geplaas is, terwyl die GLM herstelwerk aan paaie en strate op tender uitplaas. Die bedrag van R2,5 miljoen word as koopprys genoem.

Daar is glo ook ‘n padroller van formaat wat iewers tussen lang gras skuil, weens die gebrek aan ‘n bekwame operateur. Belastingbetalers noem dit deesdae “die burgemeester se speelgoed”.

Die Bulletin het hierdie inligting aan die GLM se hoofk antoor gestuur vir verifi kasie, maar nog nie antwoord daarop ontvang nie.

‘n Vars benadering tot plaasveiligheid lê vir Letsitele se boeregemeenskap voor, met die stigting van gemeenskapspolisieforums (GPF’s) vir die twee boereverenigings in die gebied.

Die forums het by ‘n vergadering van die Constantia Sitrusstudiegroep gestalte gekry, in die teenwoordigheid van die streek (Tzaneen Cluster) se polisiehoof, genl-maj Maggie Mathebula, Letsitele se bevelvoerder, kol K J Ralph, en die polisie se woordvoerder, kol Moatshe Ngoepe. Dit is aangespoor deur mnre Uwe Kroh, die voorsitt er van Tzaneen se GPF, en Corrie Large, AgriLetaba se lid vir veiligheid.

Dit volg nadat Letsitele die afgelope klompie maande deur plaasaanvalle, verkragtings en grootskaalse diefstal en inbrake geteister is. Die forums vir die Constantia en Letaba boereverenigings sal toegerus word met burgerbandradio’s en in samewerking met die polisie padblokkades opstel en ander noodsaaklike inspeksietogte onderneem.

Mathebula het die boere aangeraai om niemand op plase toe te laat behalwe dié wat in diens is nie. Die teenwoordigheid van enige vreemdeling moet onmiddellik by die polisie aangemeld word.

Die GPF-lede kan ook oortreders in hegtenis neem en aan die polisie oorhandig. As hulle probleme met die diens van die plaaslike polisie ondervind, kan hulle haar enige tyd van die dag of nag persoonlik skakel, het sy gesê.

Sy het ook onderneem dat daar te alle tye minstens een polisievoertuig beskikbaar sal wees, om die werksaamhede van die twee forums aan te vul.

“Mense wat plase besoek om werk te soek, moet deeglik ondersoek word vir die besit van gevaarlike wapens of toerusting wat vir inbrake gebruik word. Die dae van kos by plaashuise bedel, is ook lankal verstreke,” het Mathebula beklemtoon.

The Grade 12 examination markers across the province have not yet been paid by the Department of Education, according to Ms Desiree van der Walt, the DA in Limpopo’s spokesperson for education.

“We have already written a letter to the Education MEC, Ms Dikeledi Magadzi, seeking her urgent intervention to ensure that all the markers are paid the money owed with immediate e� ect.

“We have received several complaints from the markers since the beginning of this month. It’s unacceptable for the department to neglect the people who worked tirelessly during the festive season to mark the papers,” Van der Walt said.

It is sad that in previous years the department has also failed to meet the deadline to pay the markers.

“Totsiens sportveld, hallo mooi motor”


The annual Red for Men campaign hosted by the Anova health institute, in collaboration with the Department of Health, has distributed free H4M coloured condoms at a Tzaneen taxi rank.

Anova’s outreach manager, Mr David Motswagae, said “since February is known as the month of love, these condoms were aligned with the colour red”.

Health for Men thought it was relevant to come up with an innovative idea to promote condoms. Since the inception of the cam-paign, Health for Men has distributed two million condoms. The action in Tzaneen was the launch of the campaign by Health for Men in the Mopani region.

Police arrested for corruption

Two SAPS constables and an individual appeared in the Giyani magistrate’s court for corruption after they had convinced a rape victim not to lay charges against his partner. The Hawks anti-corruption unit in Limpopo arrested the two Giyani constables, Thambo Hector Nsimbhini (39) and Ronny Gezani Baloyi (34). The 28-year-old suspect was also arrested for corruption. This happened after the suspect from Ghandlanani in Giyani allegedly raped his 32-year-old male partner on 27 December last year.

The constables allegedly infl uenced the victim not to lay a rape charge against his partner. The culprit apparently off ered the trio R3 000 each in exchange for not having charges laid against him. The victim apparently felt guilty about this and decided to go ahead with the charges, after giving the money back to the alleged rapist. They were granted bail of R1 000 each and the case has been remanded to 12 March for further investigation. “We will never allow corrupt police offi cials in the department. Our members are expected to be beyond reproach,” said the head of the Hawks in Limpopo Maj Gen Dibero Molatjana.

Many caught Crimes in the area of the Ritavi SAPS increased over the past week, when sixty culprits were apprehended. Police arrested 44 people for separate counts of rape, contravening the Road Traffi c Act, assault GBH and housebreaking. Thirteen people in the area were arrested for robbery, contravening the Liquor Act, assault and theft. Police also held three perpetrators for possession of dagga, malicious damage to property and for possession of suspected property.

Safety fi rstBolobedu police have arrested 68 people for various crimes over the past week: nineteen in connection with separate counts of assault GBH, assault and housebreaking, while three others were caught for murder, fraud and malicious damage to property. They also arrested fi ve people for using a motor vehicle without the owners’ consent and malicious damage to property. A group of 26 culprits were arrested for drinking in public and another fourteen people were nabbed for drinking while they were underaged.

Man cuts off girl’s fi nger... and eats it

In a bizarre incident at Masia-Vhangani village, Giyani, an elderly man allegedly cut off the fi nger of a six-year-old girl and “ate it”. The young Kurhula Nyashoke, a Gr 1 pupil, explained that she was coming from school when she met the 79-year-old

The litt le girl tried to escape, but was pushed down by the man. He then cut off her fi nger with a knife and sucked up the blood while she was screaming for help. A neighbour heard the screams and rushed to the house. He kicked open the door and found the child still screaming for help while she was being dragged through the water.

The neighbour snatched the girl from the elderly man’s hands and alerted some other villagers, before calling the police and the ambulance.

When the police arrived, they found the suspect still busy licking the blood from his lips. He appeared to be surprised by the fact that members of the police and villagers were surrounding his house and asked if he could help them.

The girl’s mother, Sarah Mudau, said she is still shocked about what had happened to her daughter. She said her daughter was traumatized by the events.

“I’m worried about the fi nger of my child. The old man was asked about the whereabouts of the fi nger, but he only responded by saying ‘I ate it’,” she said.

A spokesperson for the SAPS, W/O Elijah Malatji, said a 79-year-old suspect, Piet Mudau, appeared in the Vuwani Magistrate’s Court. His case was remanded to 4 March for further investigations and he remains in custody. — LiN News/Limpopo Mirror

Plaaslike skandesVerlede week het ons eksklusief berig oor die skandes — as mens dit nou so mooi wil stel — van die Groter Letaba Munisipali-teit se geldsake en hul patetiese boek- en rekordhouding.

Ons bring vandag verdere slegte nuus oor hoe belastingbetalers se swaarverdien-de belastinggeld roekeloos deur dié muni-sipaliteit met minagting vermors word.

Die verdere slegte nuus is dat ons maar nog net die rofi e afgekrap het. Daar is ver-dere slegte nuus vandag, maar ook is dit het einde nog niet.

Ons werk aan nog sake wat ons reeds na ons asem laat snak. Daar is ‘n roekeloos-heid wat perkeloos blyk te wees en as hoër gesag na dese steeds nie ingryp nie, dan weet mens die wil is nie daar nie.

Maar dit is natuurlik nie net by die GLM waar dit so bedenklik gaan nie. Dit is open-bare kennis dat dit by die Mopani Distriks-munisipaliteit ook nie goed gaan nie. Hul munisipale bestuurder is in hegtenis ge-neem (eksklusief deur die Bulletin laat in verlede jaar geopenbaar) en mett ertyd sal die saak verder gevoer moet word; en be-hoort dit op verhoor te gaan in ‘n strafsaak.

En die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit? Nee wat, by dié owerheid is daar ook maar ‘n klomp vermetelheid en word die ver-morsing van geld daagliks gade geslaan.

Dit is hier so dat die munisipale bestuur-der nie op briewe reageer nie; nie eens om ontvangs te erken nie. Hy’t nie ‘n saak met die mense wat sy uitspatt ige salaris betaal nie. Om ‘n afspraak met hom te kry is haas onmoontlik.

Sy kommunikasiehoof het sy skoene ont-groei en is so belangrik dat hy joernaliste met gemak afj ak as hulle vrae durf stel. Maar hul dag is aan die kom. Hul neuse is allermins skoon.

Die onwettige bewoners van die Letabarivier se oewer in Tzaneen se getalle styg mooi en die GTM behoort trots te wees op die wetteloosheid wat hulle oogluikend toelaat. Teen die een prominente sogenaamde tradisionele geneser is al hofbevele verkry, wat blatant geminag word. Hy skop vas. ‘n Tweede “dokter” het hom nou ook daar tuis gemaak, oop en bloot, en sy perseel se strukture brei uit. Intussen het ons sowat ‘n week gelede nog dertien “nederset-tings” in die bosse in die omgewing opgespoor. Maar soos dit met die meeste dinge in die land gaan, moet daar eers ‘n krisis ontstaan, voordat die owerheid optree. Iets soos ‘n vloed wat die mense meesleur — hulle vertoef meesal onder die vloedlyn — en hulle aan die genade van die

krokodille en seekoeie in die rivier oorlaat, sal dalk die oë laat oopgaan!

Gilson is the talented author of Maansiek (2002); ’n Engel in die Hoenderhok (2009) and Kelder (2012). She resides in Pretoria, as well as on the farm Onverwacht in Magoebask-loof.

Gerda Taljaard’s debut novel, ’n Engel in die hoenderhok, a tragicomedy that plunges the reader into a whirlpool of hopelessness and almost insane humor, deals with the self-realisation of a young woman. In an astounding way Taljaard allows the reader to experience one of the contradictions of existence, namely that life can be so terrible and so lovely at the same time.

Humorous and unsett ling: The complex-ity of life in Africa, especially as a woman, where she is both saint and witch, lover and

mother, murderer and protector … The main character in Kelder is Esmeralda

who writes love stories. She is successful, but is in the middle of a creative drought. And then she is visited by a story. It is the story of a girl – still a mere child – who, fi fty years previously, had a string of babies on a farm in Magoebaskloof and, with the exception of one who was adopted after birth, killed them all and buried them near the farmhouse. Esmeralda’s imagination grips this story; no, the story grips her and

shakes her till her teeth ratt le. She has no defence, she simply has to write the story of

Sus Niemand. Is the Sus Niemand who is haunting Esmeralda a dis-turbed murderer? Is she merely the victim of incest and depriva-tion? How much does Sus know about what is happening to her, and what part does she play in it?

Gerda launches new book

“Word vyf mossies nie vir twee sent verkoop nie? Tog word nie een van hulle deur God vergeet nie” (Lukas 12:6)In die King’s Business word vertel van ‘n Spaan se seuntjie in Vigo, wat ‘n toe-gewyde volge ling van die Here Jesus ge-word het. ‘n Man vra hom toe, wat tot sy bekering gelei het?

Op die man se vraag antwoord hy: “Dis die ek stra mossie wat dit bewerk het.” “Die ekstra mos sie?” vra die man verwonderd.

“Sien, Senór, dit het so gewerk. ‘n Man het eendag vir my ‘n Bybel ge gee. Ek lees toe op een plek dat Nuestro Senór Je sus (ons Here Jesus) gesê het, twee mossies word vir een chico verkoop. Op ‘n ander plek lees ek Hy sê, vyf mossies word vir twee chicos verkoop.

“Toe dink ek, Nuestro Senór Jesus ken darem ons ge woon te om voëls te verkoop baie goed. Senór weet mos, ons vang voëls en verkoop dit: twee vir een chico en vier vir twee chicos, maar dan gooi ons sommer ‘n ekstra voëltjie, die vyfde een, by. Hy tel nie eintlik nie. Hy word som-mer net gegee.

“Toe dink ek by myself: ek is so arm en nikswerd en klein, niemand tel my ooit by nie. Ek is sommer net niks. Ek is soos daardie ekstra mossie. En tog, is dit nie wonderlik nie, Nuestro Senór Jesus sê: ‘nie een van hulle word deur God vergeet nie.’ Ook nie die ekstra, verniet, een nie. Ek het nog nooit so iets gehoor nie, Senór.

“Niemand as net Nuestro Senór Jesus sou aan so iets kon dink nie! Toe weet ek ek tel ook by Hom en toe bid ek en ek sê: ‘Nuestro Senór Jesus, vat my ook as-seblief.’ Toe weet ek hy het my gevat. En nou lewe ek vir Hom.”

Baie dankie Jaco Moller van Extreme ATV in Tzaneen skryf: Ek en my span het die afgelope naweek in Bronkhorstspruit gaan deel-neem.

Ek wil graag die geleentheid gebruik om die borge te bedank vir hul ondersteuning.

Aan Erik de Jager wat gehelp het met die ontwerpe vir die klere en motorfi etse, baie dankie.

Ek wil ook vir KM Bolts in Tzaneen, Mike Williams van Coca Cola Fortune in Tzaneen en vir Viva Feulling in Letsitele bedank vir

hul ondersteuning en bydrae.

TotsiensDr Johan Homan van Tzaneen skryf: Liewe Tzaneen en Laeveldkontrei-mense. Met tipiese Tzaneen genadereën wat buite neersif, is ek gevul met nostalgie en dankbaarheid. Ook vir

my het die einde van ‘n lang pad aangebreek. Ek het hier in Tzaneen begin in September

1979, en die lewe, geboortes, siektes en sterf-tes met baie van julle belewe. Pasiënte het bekendes, vriende of vyande geword , maar altyd kon ons die Here se hand van liefde en genade oor elkeen van ons sien.

Dankie aan almal wat op my lewenspad ‘n verskil en indruk gemaak het, hier ‘n klip-pie in my skoen, daar ‘n pragtige geur van frangipani.

To all of my wonderful, loyal patients, friends and colleagues, thank you for your loyal support and help through all these years, for your tolerance of a human being trying to be a doctor to you all!

I feel happy and secure in the know-ledge that I’m leaving you in the care of Dr Jeanne-Marie Joynt. I couldn’t wish for a more compassionate, caring and competent doctor to look after you all!

Waar die mens hom ookal mag bevind, is daar altyd ‘n goeie spoor wat sonder kommer gevolg kan word. Dis dié van die rigtinggewer en nie noodwendig die tropleier nie wat die roete vorentoe aandui.

Tzaneen is bevoorreg om so ‘n leierfi guur te hê met die gewone Afrikaanse naam van Att ie Bester. Sy dade is lowerryk maar op 85 jaar is hy steeds plat op die aarde soos ‘n aartappel.

Bester het sy loopbaan as klerk by die destydse SA Spoorweë en Hawens in 1949 in Tzaneen begin en ook sy militêre diensplig in daardie tyd gedoen, voor hy in 1950 na Letaba-stasie in Nkowankowa ver-plaas is. Dié stasie bestaan nie meer nie.

Later is hy terug Tzaneen toe, waar die

munisipaliteit hom ‘n pos in die tesourie-af-deling aangebied het. “Daar was maar min mense in diens, maar die werk was altyd op datum.”

Hy het met sy karige salaris ‘n lappie grond in Yamorna gekoop en soos die mense in daardie tyd op klein skaal die beste nut daarvan gemaak. “Dit was so anders as vandag, waar jy met te veel ele-

mente teen jou moet swoeg.”Toe kom mnr Joggie Vermooten van Pre-

toria hier aan en neem Bester op in die

Rentmeester-groep, waar hy tot sy aftrede gewerk het.

Oom Att ie se naam lê diep vasgemessel in gemeenskapsdiens, wat hy vir baie jare met graagte en sonder erkenning gedoen het. Hy was verantwoordelik vir die totstandkoming van die Tzaneen Tegniese Kollege (nou FET), waar hy twintig jaar lank voorsitt er was. Toe die Tzaneen Afrikaanse Sakekamer nog ‘n faktor in die dorp was, het hy 21 jaar lank

as voorsitt er gedien. “Hulle het met my uitt rede ‘n skildery aan my oorhandig.

Sedertdien het ek nog nooit weer van hulle gehoor nie.”

Hy het ook die stoel beklee by streeksontwikkeling en het dié in-stansie se advieskomitee vir Streek G (Limpopo) as voorsitt er gedien. Dit was ‘n regstreekse skakeling tussen die provinsie se dorpe en

die private sektor en die regering.Oom Att ie was in die hoofb estuur

van die Afrikaanse Handelsinstituut (AHI) in Limpopo, lid van die Lebowa

Ontwikkelingskorporasie en het daar ook as voorsitt er gedien.

Later het hy stadsraadslid en burgemeester van Tzaneen geword, met baie afguns deur

lede met meer geld en groter invloed as hy. Hy was ook sekretaris en lank voorsitt er van die Tzaneen Skoukomitee.

Die regering van die tyd het groot vertroue in sy onderhandelingstegnieke gehad en hy is in ‘n stadium vir drie maande as lid van die ontwikkelingskorporasie na lande in die Ooste gestuur, om nywerhede na SA te lok.

Sport was Oom Att ie se ander groot pas-sie. Op skool was hy ‘n kranige atleet en rugbyspeler. Na sy speeltyd het hy in die bestuur van die destydse Verre Noord Rug-byunie gedien, maar het eintlik as skeids-regter die land plat gereis.

In een jaar het hy in 25 provinsi-ale wedstryde geblaas en hy het ook in wedstryde teen internasionale spanne die fl uitjie geblaas. Hy was die eerste wit skeids-regter vir die Protea- en Federasiespanne.

In sy groot huis in Yamorna het Oom At-tie dié week kaste oopgemaak waar dosyne dasse hang, van klubs en provinsies waar hy destyds die fl uitjieman was.

Vandag is hy heelwat rustiger. Hy ge-niet nog goeie gesondheid, maar kyk wee-moedig terug na die stroop van sy toewy-ding in Tzaneen, waar dit in kleurlose en onbruikbare kristalle versuiker het.


In die Bulletin se eksklusiewe reeks oor grondleggers van die Mopani-omgewing en veral Tzaneen, is mnr Attie Bester vandag aan die woord. Dié oud-burge-meester van Tzaneen en lid van verskeie rade en instellings het die gordyn voor sy hart en gemoed so ‘n effe weggetrek in ‘n

gesprek met ons Louis Roux.

Spore in die regte rigting

Elke nou en dan, min of meer een maal per jaar, is daar ‘n teaterstuk wat ‘n mens nie durf misloop nie. Die soort teaterbelewenis wat aan jou steelkant verbyglip en jou ont-redder. Wat nie talm of trane trek nie. Wat jou vinnig twee keer laat kyk, vinnig oor jou skouer laat kyk. Wat jou oorrompel met ‘n verplett er-ende besef van die vlugtig-heid van die lewe, van die kosbaarheid van oomblikke. Wat mens hoendervleis gee.

So ‘n stuk is Oskar en die pienk tannie.

Die immergroen Sandra Prinsloo het ophou draf. Sy is nou op ‘n galop. Eers was daar Die Naaimasjien wat gehore weerloos gelaat het, nou is Oskar op almal se lippe.

Oskar en die pienk tannie is onlangs deur die KKNK vereer as Beste Teaterproduksie, Beste Regie (Lara Bye) en Beste Aktrise (Sandra Prins-loo), terwyl dit ook ‘n rits ander toekennings ontvang het..

Die teks is verruklik: terloops hartseer en terloops snaaks. Prinsloo speel teen die senti-ment, trap liggies oor versengende hartseer, raak vlugtig aan paradigmaverskuiwende insigte, streel ingedagte oor absurditeite.

Sy vertolk die rol van ‘n tienjarige seuntjie wat terminaal siek is. En dié van ‘n ouma en ‘n paar ander karaktertjies in die kindersaal. Sy vervel naatloos en gee lyf aan ‘n reeks karakters wat bybly. Op die verhoog is ‘n

enkele tafel: die sterwende Oskar se hospi-taalbed. Wees gewaarsku: dis sneesdoekie-gebied. ‘n Mens se wange word vroeg al nat. Oskar gooi ‘n houtoog oor grootmense, die liefde, hormone, God en die dood.

Oskar het kanker en sy operasie was on-suksesvol; iets waarvoor hy homself blameer, soos kinders doen. Sy reddings-boei is Ouma Rosa, ‘n be-jaarde vrou wat elke dag die kinderhospitaal besoek. Sy is wys, pitt ig en goddeloos. Om hom te vermaak versin sy staaltjies oor haar dae as rofstoeier, die wildewoeste Weskus-wonder. Sy beskik oor morele dapperheid en lieg nie vir die kind nie. Sy beveel hom om elke dag te leef asof dit tien jaar is. Op dié manier kan hy tot op die rype ouderdom van 120 jaar

leef. Sy raai hom ook aan om elke dag vir God ‘n brief te skryf en ‘n wens te wens — en hy skryf:

“Liewe GodMy naam is Oskar, ek is 10 jaar oud, ek het

die kat en die hond en die huis aan die brand gesteek, en dis die eerste brief wat ek aan jou stuur, want ek het nie voorheen tyd gehad nie. Ek moes leer.”

Moenie spyt wees omdat jy te laat gewag het om jou kaartjie(s) te kry nie. Die datum is 27 Februarie en dit word aangebied in die saal van die Ned Herv Kerk Tzaneen. Die aanbieding begin opm 19:00.

‘n Onrybare baan het spoedvraat Jaco Moller van Extreme ATV in Tzaneen en sy span nie gekeer om goeie wegspringtye tydens die eerste rangskikking in Bronkhortspruit op te stel nie.Moller sê die jaers het drie geleenthede gehad om om die baan te jaag en hul tye te bepaal. Dit gaan hul wegspringposisies by die SA’s more in Middelburg bepaal. Hy het die baan twee keer met ‘n Raptor 700 in die Q1-klas

aangedurf en ‘n algehele derde plek gekry. Moller se vyftienjarige sussie Wilmari het met haar Honda TRX 450 cc ‘n tweede plek in die hoërskool-groep gekry. Sy ander span-maat, Marcell Coetz ee, het met sy Yamaha YFZ tweede in die silwer klas gekom en hoe-wel hy tegniese probleme ondervind het, het hy algeheel 32ste geeïndig. Eric Williams het net een keer om die baan met sy Rapton 700 gery en het tiende in die Q1-klas geeïndig. Moller sê hoewel hy uitsien na die SA wedren, is hy altyd gespanne voor elke ren. “Ek is tevrede met die wegspringtye,” sê hy. “Belangstellendes kan die wedren op www.protiming.co.za dophou.”Moller sê hy maak hom reg om aan die Da-kar-wedren in 2016 deel te neem.

Tien goue jare!Dié drie kort woorde verteenwoordig vir my

alles wat ek die afgelope tien jaar by, met en vir die Bulletin beleef het.

Personeel wat hul kant gebring het op ‘n wyse wat mens aan die besondere waarde van goud herinner. Adverteerders (sakelui) wat hul geloof in ‘n produk bevestig het en die koerant van geboorte af ondersteun het op ‘n wyse wat aan die edelheid van goud herinner.

‘n Breë gemeenskap wat in hul ondersteun-ing van ‘n nuwe baba soos goud geskitt er het en steeds blink. Vriende wat hier ge-maak is en wie se onderste-uning, ook in die dae van teenspoed, goud werd was.

Ek het aan die einde van 2003 in die Laeveld aange-kom, op ‘n plaas by Ofco-laco/Trichardtsdal. Ek was wildvreemd en het nie die klimaat, die topografi e, die mense, die plaaslike poli-tiek, die nuanses in die ver-skillende mikro-gemeen-skappe geken nie.

Ek het Theo de Jager geken, nadat ons in die vroeë tagtigerjare ken-nis gemaak en mett ertyd vriende geraak het. ‘n Gewaardeerde ou skool- en koshuismaat wat ek in matriek in 1958 laas gesien het, wyle Bernard Vermaak, was by Letsitele kliphard aan die boer, maar ek was nie daarvan bewus nie.

Toe ek teen die middel van 2004 met Edward Vorster op sy plaas gaan kennis maak het, ter-wyl hy nog van ‘n meer ernstige ongesteld-heid herstel het, het ek uitgevind my ou skool-maat was hier. Ek het van Edward af direk na Bernard gery. Ons het mekaar nie herken nie en daar was vier lekker nat oë toe ons mekaar in ‘n omhelsing na 46 jaar weer sien. Ongeluk-kig het hy nie baie lank daarna nie my alleen hier gelaat.

Kort nadat ek in my eerste pos as joernalis aangestel is, het ek my hart op ‘n verruklike mooi jong dame verloor. Sy was ‘n niggie van Bernard en dus ook ‘n niggie van Johan du Toit en sy broer Gerard. Johan en Gerard het ook by ‘n oom van my skool gegaan (in die Sondagsriviervallei), waar ons dikwels gaan kuier het (my pa was ook ‘n skoolhoof en ons het dus meer dikwels vakansie gaan hou as die deursnee werkende mense). So het ek goed van Johan en Gerard geweet, maar dit sou oordrewe wees om te sê ons het mekaar

goed geken.In 2005 het ek twee oud-universiteitsmaats

in Phalaborwa ontmoet en teen die einde van daardie jaar het ek in Louis Trichardt die spoor van ‘n ou universiteit-rugbymaat ge-kom. En dit was dit.

Nou kyk ek terug oor tien jaar en tel ek ‘n korps vriende wat ek gemaak het. En omdat my lewe so met die Bulletin verweef is, het ek ook talle kennisse wat my verblyf van die afgelope tien jaar in hierdie pragtige deel van

ons land verryk het.Bulletin het klein be-

gin. Ons was drie: Phil-lipe Buyst, Jan Mafetsa en ekself. Daar was een less-enaar-rekenaar (skootreke-naars was toe nog skaars), een voertuig en ‘n paar minderwaardige meubel-stukke. Die kantoor was vir die begindae ‘n lapa langs ‘n lekker groot sementdam (swembad!) op die plaas.

Sprake van ‘n weeklikse gemeenskapskoerant wat sal uitbrei om meer as twaalf bladsye per uitgawe

te beslaan, was daar nie. Ons wou sommer net iets doen vir die liefde daarvan.

Die plaaslike mark het ons egter van die verskyning van die eerste uitgawe af omarm. Die feit dat ons van meet af aan ons boere en landbou in die omgewing op ‘n spesiale wyse gedien en bedien het, het vertroue geskep. Vandag is die AgriBulletin ‘n gevestigde publikasie wat op sy eie bene staan en baie gewild is by die plaaslike boere vir nuus, en by adverteerders as ‘n bemarkingskanaal.

Ons is trots daarop dat ons nog altyd gesonde sakebeginsels toegepas het en ons beoefen suiwer sake-etiek. Ons loop nie en lieg oor ons drukoplaag of ons verkope nie. Ons is lid van die Audit Buro of Circulation (ABC), ‘n on-afh anklike liggaam wat koerante en tydskrifte se verkope deur ouditeurs laat nagaan en sorg dat daar nie met die syfers gekonkel word nie.

Ons hou ons ook nie met “horse trading” op nie. Ons adverteerders weet wat ons tariewe

is en ons loop nie elke tweede dag met veran-derde tariewe en smous nie. Natuurlik on-derhandel ons met adverteerders wat termy-nadvertensies wil bespreek, maar ons doen dit met ons hand op die tafel en nie onder die punte van die tafeldoek versteek nie.

Ons is geakkrediteer as ‘n opleidingsinstan-sie vir die bedryf se Seta en die afgelope vier jaar het ons elke jaar studente van univer-siteite wat hul internskappe by ons doen. Die Bulletin is ook ‘n stigterslid van ‘n unieke sambreelorganisasie, wat nege onafh anklike gemeenskapskoerante in Limpopo geleent-heid bied om ‘n verenigde front te vorm, veral wat bemarking betref.

Ons is verder so plaaslik as wat plaaslik kan wees. Ons geniet nie die gerief van ‘n hoof-kantoor in ‘n toringgebou met kantore wat marmervloere en houtpanele teen die mure en ‘n dik tjekboek het nie.

Ons mense is van hier. Ons koop hier. Ons besit eiendom hier, ons kinders en klein-kinders gaan hier skool, ons gebruik dienste van plaaslike diensleweransiers, ons onder-steun plaaslik… Ons is deel van die gemeen-skap — omdat dit vir ons lekker en ‘n voorreg is.

Toe ons begin het, was daar ‘n doempro-feet (die wat moet weet wie, weet) wat in ‘n smeerveldtog teen ons voorspel het dat ons moontlik ses maande sou haal, maar baie be-slis nie twaalf nie. Dit is nou 120 maande later en dié kêrel het sy toets as profeet nie geslaag nie.

Ons is steeds hier, omdat ons ook die ge-meenskap omarm het. Ons het ‘n liefdeverhouding met die besondere mense van die Laeveld aange-knoop. Ons trots in ons skole, ons diensorganisa-sies, ons klubs, ons sport-bedrywighede, ensovoorts lê diep.

Ons staan steeds by ons slagspreuk van Vrees-loos die Waarheid en om daaraan getrou te bly, maak ons dikwels ongewild. Net om later te hoor dat ons tog gerespekteer word vir die feit dat ons die waarheid dien.

In die tien jaar was daar enkele pogings om ons met regstappe te dreig, waarvan absoluut niks gekom het nie. Ons het nooit eens sover as die hof se trappies gekom nie, want ons re-

spekteer feite en ons nuusberiggewing word op feite gegrond en as sodanig aangebied.

Ons skinder nie, ons is nie pro dié of anti daai nie. Ons dien die waarheid en nie mense en groepe en politieke denke nie. Ons speel nie saam in die politiek tussen groepe of skole of klubs of besighede nie. Ons loop die pad maar so alleen-alleen en hou weekliks die spieël op waarin die gemeenskap die beeld kan sien van wat hier gebeur.

Ons sien uit na die volgende tien jaar saam met ons lesers en adverteerders, saam met die Laeveld se gemeenskap, oud en jonk, man en vrou, swart en wit, ryk en arm.


Die stigter-redakteur van die Bulletin, Francois Aucamp, het enkele herinnerings neergepen en gee ook ‘n kort oorsig van die ontstaan van die koerant en die daaropvolgende dekade.

Die jong loot het ‘n boom geword

Phillip Buyst

Dit was vir die tropleier maklik om onver-bondenheid tot enige van die plaaslike hoër-skole te handhaaf, want hy het van buite gekom. Jaarliks met interskole het ek ons lojaliteit jeens albei Tzaneen se puik hoërskole kennelik met ‘n

dubbeldoor rugbytrui gedemonstreer.

Dankie vir die welwillendheid waarmee ons ontvang is en steeds geniet. Ons sal graag die gemeenskap se betroubare nuusvriend bly.

Dr Van der Weijde en Bulletin se span het ‘n hele paar slypskoolsessies op ons kantoor se stoep deurgewerk.

This was the team in 2009 when we celebrated our fifth birthday. At the time Theo de Jager was a shareholder; the rest were employees.

Dr Gerard van der Weijde en sy vrou het die Bulletin twee keer in die af-gelope tien jaar besoek en waardevolle dae saam met ons deurgebring, Hy is ‘n wêreld bekende kommunikasiestrateeg, wat kosbare planne met

ons gedeel het.

The revamp and restoration of Pekoe View on the Magoebaskloof Road is good news for Tzaneen and its people as well as for the many loads of tourists roaming the area.

This tea garden and restaurant was for many years a selected land mark, with its magnifi cent view over widespread tea plan-tations and evergreen valleys between Tza-neen and Modjadjiskloof.

Bus loads of tourists from all over the world made Pekoe View Tea Garden a pri-ority stop on their journeys to the rest of the Lowveld, with clicking cameras and zoom-ing videocams to immortalize the scenery.

About seven years ago bad luck struck when the tea plantations of Sapekoe were shut down and thousands of workers were left unemployed. The large piece of land was left abandoned and overgrown, until SA’s department of land aff airs took over to try and develop it into a viable undertaking.

This eff ort seems to have failed again, but residents near the tea garden decided to re-store the building and business to its former glory.

Ms Carrie-Anne Breedt is the new owner and her renovation programme has already lured visitors in big numbers. She can be

contacted on 060 399 1404.They will have their offi cial opening this

weekend with a special Valentine’s party, including a dance in the revamped club-house.

Between the 10th and 20th of each month people over the age of 65 years will pay half price on pancakes and tea. This Pekoe View special will last for three months.

The MEC for Economic Development, Envi-ronment and Tourism (LEDET) in Limpopo, Mr Seaparo Sekoati said his department had developed cooperatives under the auspices of Limpopo Mukumbi Industries as a viable business industry which would create hun-dreds of job opportunities within the province.

Sekoati was speaking during a media launch for the annual Marula Festival in Phalaborwa.

Before the offi cial launch, journalists were tak-en on a special tour of various tourists’ destina-tions where, among others, they enjoyed seeing Jessica the hippo in Hoedspruit and visited the Kruger National Park. They were also supposed to visit the reptile park in Hoedspruit, Giriyondo Border post between the RSA and Mozambique, but they arrived too late.

He said the depart-ment is taking advan-

tage of the

vast concentration of Marula trees found mostly in the Ba-Phalaborwa area and it had established some thirteen cooperatives which are playing a role to boost economy by creating hundreds of jobs for the local people.

The cooperations’ operations, under the aus-pices of Mukumbi Industries, were offi cially launched on 4 March 2006 at the inaugural Marula Festival hosted in collaboration with the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture. “The event is been utilized as a draw card for att racting domestic, regional and internation-al tourists to Limpopo during the Marula sea-son (January to March),” Sekoati said.

This year the Marula festival will be held from 22 February until 1 March. During the week-long celebrations, there will be a street parade from Phalaborwa’s municipal offi ces, the 4X4 challenge at Hlokwa Lodge outside Phalaborwa, indigenous games at Impala Park Stadium, a half marathon from Kruger

National Park to Groen Skool and on 25 February there will be a tourism career exhibition at Impala Park Stadium and from

28 February to 1 March, the main music festival will be

expected to take place at Impala Park Stadium, where among the top artists would be Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Worship House, General Musika

and many others.

Blue Mountain College near Politsi has successfully achieved a 100% matric pass rate since the school’s establishment. All the pupils also received Bachelor passes with 25% of all marks being distinctions. Seen here are Tsholo Sebopa, Liberty Delsouiller (three distinctions), Nkateko Ngobeni, Olivia Thorsen, Jesse Peniel (three distinctions), Soki Selepe, Jeanie Botes (three distinctions) and Timeah Muller (five

distinctions).

The days where matric pupils struggled to carry heavy school bags to school and between classes is now a thing of the past at Meridian College in Nkowankowa.

School principal Ms Thea Gerber said Me-ridian College is the fi rst school in the Lim-popo province to introduce e-Learning to its matric pupils. The college started to inves-tigate the possibility of using e-Learning in 2012 but because some of the e-Books were not off ered free of charge, the school decided to postpone the programme. In 2013, they re-investigated and decided to launch the pro-ject this year.

Her sister, Ms Dina Barnard, who is also in charge of school fi nances, joked that she aged about ten years these past few months to ensure everything is in place. She said she had to ensure the school had suffi cient wi-fi connection,strong enough to cater for about one thousand pupils. The college also needed aff ordable tablets with built-in warranties.

“We needed the hardware and software to download the e-Books and had to get Moo-dle, an electronic library that hosts a wealth of knowledge, in place. Apart from this, the pupils and teachers bought their own tablets and computers. They can download the com-plete study plan for the year.”

Barnard said each pupil has a profi le and they can download the necessary pro-grammes for the year. “This system elimi-nates the use of cell phones in the classroom. The next step is to safeguard the pupils from downloading and using the tablets for Face-book and other unwanted sites.”

She said they hoped there would be a sig-nifi cant change in the pupils’ results. Ac-cording to Barnard, the initial fi nancial im-plication, to ensure the wi-fi connection is strong enough, was not so severe because it would pay off in the long run. “Whether we buy textbooks or buy e-Books, it costs about the same,” she said.

Noëlla Hlungwane and Kgotso Mothobu-ka, two matric pupils, said they were very excited about this programme. “Learning is now more interactive and fun and because we take the tablets home with us to study, we don’t have to carry heavy bags anymore.”

Delegates from various schools in the area att ended the function and teacher Mr Jackson Chimombe explained how the programme will work, and then the delegates sat in dur-ing a short life science class. — Roelien Vorster

Die Hoërskool Merensky se onderwysers en ouers het onlangs hul harte en beursies oopge-

maak vir sowat 35 inwoners van die Abraham Kriel Kinderhuis in Nylstroom.Dit is reeds die tweede jaar dat die Plasies die groep kinders ondersteun en bederf met iets spesiaal. Die groep het twee naweekkampe naby Polokwane gehou. Die organiseerder, me Wendy Dreyer, bedank al die rolspelers vir hul ywer om ‘n verskil te maak in die kinders se lewe. Enigeen wat betrokke wil raak kan haar by 082 417 2612 skakel.

Not even the rainy weather could deter new Plasie parents from attending a social function recently. The aim of this yearly function is to give new parents an opportunity to get to know one another and get involved in the school’s activities. Team members had to flex their muscles to turn the oversized Moooonopoly dice in order to journey

through the MerenskyMooonopoly board, which served to highlight certain aspects of Plasie land. Parents travelled from as far as Musina, Hoedspruit and Polokwane to enjoy a super meal in a relaxed atmosphere, which resulted in making new acquaintances and

forming stronger Plasie bonds.

Merensky High School’s very first WordWorx club for 2014 was held recently. Pupils received a creative writing challenge: “An object in my space speaks out” on which they were judged, with the best writers invited to join the club. In the front are Monique de Lange, Loamé van Zyl, Laryn Prins and Micaela Ball. At the back are Anneli Nel, Xanthe Joubert, Marlu McLean, Elzette van Dyk, Blake Linder, Janke Jansen van Vuuren

Thirty excited pupils left Plasieland behind to enjoy a weeklong tour to the South Coast of Kwazulu Natal. Wonderful weather allowed everyone to explore the sea, and to work on their Limpopo tans. The water park at the Wild Coast Sun proved to be a highlight, with its adrenalin-driven slides and peaceful river rafting. Lots of time and money was spent at Galleria and Southgate malls, where some tried their skill at ice skating and ten pin

bowling, while the less adventurous ate sushi and visited the movies. The last day was spent at Ushaka Marine World, with visits to the aquarium, dolphin and seal shows and once again, a fun-fi lled waterpark.

Die suur — dalk eerder die bitter — van vandale wat Vrydagnag met ‘n voertuig esse en sirkels op die Letaba Rugbyveld se nuwe oppervlak gegooi en groot skade aangerig het, ook aan die nuwe ondergrondse besproeiingstelsel, het nie vehinder dat die sukses van Saterdag se raakrugbytoernooi heerlik soet was nie.

Die rugbyveld is na die einde van verlede jaar se seisoen omgeploeg, ‘n nuwe (en eerste) besproeiingstelsel is ondergronds gelê, met sproeikoppe (pop-ups) en nuwe gras is geplant.

Een van Letaba se staatmakers en lid van die bestuur, mnr Johan Steyn, bevestig dat die waarde van die werk wat gedoen is en die materiaal wat gebruik is, aan die orde van R300 000 is.

Dat ‘n vandaal of twee Vrydagagnag diep slote in die nuwe veld en skade aan die sproeikoppe en ondergrondse pype veroorsaak het, het lede en onddersteuners van die klub Saterdagoggend met ‘n erge wrang smaak in die mond gelaat.

Steyn sê hy glo nie daar gaan regstappe gedoen word nie, alhoewel daar ‘n groot mate van sekerheid is oor die kwaaddoeners se identiteit. In ‘n regsgeding sal egter baie swaar op omstandigheidsgetuienis staat gemaak moet word, sê hy.

Intussen word verneem dat die klub se spelers informeel en nie-amptelik onder mekaar wraak gesweer het en die man of manne wat Vrydagnag die rugbyveld vir hul vandalisme besoek het, moet maar wye draaie om Letaba se rugbyspelers loop. Dit is die goeie raad aan hulle.

Die sukses van Saterdag se raakrugbytoernooi het egter die ergste suur van die vorige nag laat verdwyn. Spelers en toeskouers het die spel en die lekker gees wat geheers het, terdeë geniet en daar is sommer Saterdag wyd en syd gepraat oor die volgende toernooi. Steyn sê dit klink asof die spelers en die gemeenskap ‘n tweede soortgelyke toernooi aan die einde van vanjaar se seisoen verwag.

Dit lyk ook na ‘n uitgemaakte saak dat die toernooi(e) ‘n jaarlikse instelling sal word. Dit beteken baie vir die gees in die klub, by spelers sowel as ondersteuners. Verder kan dit plaaslik baie beteken vir rugby-

ontwikkeling in gemeenskappe wat nie tradisioneel rugby speel of kyk en ondersteun nie.

Veertien spanne het raakrugby van hoogstaande gehalte gespeel, terwyl die toeskouers reg rondom die veld hul braaivleisvure aangesteek en die dag geniet het.

Oud en jonk het die veld vol gespeel en Duiwelskloof se eerste span van ongeveer vyftien jaar gelede wat as Pienaar Broers gespeel het, het gewys dat die vaardigheid nog daar is — maar die bene wou nie meer byhou nie. Verskeie oud-spelers van Letaba en Tzaneen het in die verskeie spanne gespeel en van die manne het dit gate uit geniet. Daar is gesê as Victor Mat� eld ‘n “come-back” kan maak, is hulle ook vanjaar weer terug op die rugbyveld.

Die volgende spanne het deelgeneem: Ben Vorster Gimnasium, Johan Steyn Prokureurs, Realty1, Waterboys, Stephan van Rensburg Prokureurs, Build-It, Pienaar Broers, Samurai, Wild Hogs, Kings Court, ABSA, NTT, Golf GTI en Noord Chem.

Kings Court het in die skild-eindstryd met Pienaar Broers afgereken en in die plaat-eindstryd het Samurai, wat al die pad van Polokwane gekom het, Wild Hogs geklop.

Die eindtsryd is beslis tussen Ben Vorster Gimnasium en Johan Steyn Prokureurs en die spanne het gelykop gespeel. In ekstra tyd het Ben Vorster Gimnasium die wendrie gedruk. Toe Johan Steyn Prokureurs om kommentaar gevra is, is gewaarsku dat binnekort na die Hooggeregshof geappelleer sal word, aangesien die skeidsregter in ‘n WP-trui geblaas het — wat hom duidelik onbevoeg gemaak het!

Die volgende borge word bedank, want sonder hul bydrae sou die dag nie ‘n sukses gewees het nie: Miami Canners, Jonas van Coke, Edward van SAB, Jacques en Andries van Distell, AB van der Westhuizen en die verskeie borge van die spanne.

• Letaba Rugbyklub speel hul eerste wedstryde op 1 Maart 2014 teen Nelspruit en alle spelers word vriendelik genooi om Dinsdae en Donderdae om 18:00 by die veld vir die oefening te wees. Navrae: Johan Steyn by 083 287 5839 of Johan Smit by 083 856 3499.

Oubal was nogal verras met die reaksie wat hy gekry het met verlede week se vermelding van die atletieksports. Die meeste was van middeljarig-tot-bejaarde dames wat daarop gewys het dat hulle in hulle vermaardheid eens teen Claudie van Straaten gehol het.

‘Tja, dames, Oubal is beïndruk met julle eerlikheid, want sonder uitsondering het julle almal aangedui dat al wat julle van Claudie gesien het, haar hakskene was. ‘n Paar manne het laat weet dat selfs hulle teen haar meegeding het, maar hulle het glo nie vir haar hakskene gekyk nie. Ja, swaer!

Andersins was die reaksie meer van ‘n nostalgiese aard, hunkerend na die hoogbloeidae van atletiek; die dae van

Appel- en Sasolatletiek en uurbyeenkomste op TV, die dae toe Frankie Fredericks nog in Springbokkleure gehardloop het. Waar is dit alles heen, word gevra.

Wel, Oubal sit hier met ‘n uitknipsel van ‘n GAD-rubriek deur Sarel vd Walt wat verlede jaar al verskyn het, waarin hy vol vertroue is dat Atletiek SA binnekort weer sy kop sal

optel vanwaar hy nou in die waaksaal van sport aan ‘n asemhalingstoestel gekoppel is. Al wat moet gebeur, is dat daar van die bestuur ontslae geraak moet word, aldus neef Sarel.

Oubal verstaan op sy beste nie Kapenaars nie, maar dit smaak hom neef Sarel onderskryf hulle sêding van ‘n vis vrot van sy kop af. Hoekom ‘n vis nou nie van die deel wat die manne hier bo na gekyk het vrot nie, verstaan Oubal nie mooi nie. Hoe dit ook al sy, kop of stert, dis die vet deel in die middel wat in die slag bly.

Op Oubal se wandelinge deur die dorp hoor hy dis weer visblikke-jêmblikke tyd by ons skole en hy dink aan die arme kindertjies wie

se drome verplett er gaan word deur onbeholpe amptenare sodra hulle buite hul skoolmilieu wil gaan hol, spring en gooi. Ter illustrasie heg Oubal ‘n foto aan wat Arthuringelsman verlede week hier aandra.

‘Tja, soos wat Oubal verstaan, moet die kinders in ons een voorstad aan sirkelbyeenkomste gaan deelneem om te kan kwalifi seer vir deelname op ‘n hoër vlak. Dié foto is glo ‘n jaar of wat terug by so ‘n byeenkoms geneem. Die maaind boggel, soos ou AI sal sê.

En dis die punt wat Oubal dink neef Sarel geheel en al mis. Demokratiese onbevoegdheid tot in die wortels van dié sport maak dat Oubal nie neef Sarel se optimisme deel dat die gerugte van atletiek se dood oordrewe is nie!

….......................................................GertGrensvegter is ernstig beswaard omdat

Oubal hom verlede week wreed in die rede geval het. Hy wou nog sê, sê GG, dat hy destyds nie ‘n stophorlosie by hom gehad het nie en dat hy ook nie seker is oor die

ouderdomme van die 10-stuks meisies wat besig was om in die Lombarivier te bad nie.

Maar toe die G6-kanon die eerste keer praat by die Slag van Cuito Cuanavale (alle skietgoed “praat” volgens GG), is hy seker hulle het individueel en gesamentlik die 100m in vinniger as 10s gehol!“Something is rott en in the state of Denmark.” - Marcellus in Hamlet (William Shakespear)

Kop, Stert, Hol!Kop, Stert, Hol!

Black Leopards registered their second victory in a row by beating Santos FC 2-0 in their NFD League match at the Makhuvha Stadium last Saturday.

Although the pitch was slippery, both sides managed to display entertaining football throughout the game.

Black Leopards missed their fast forward, Rendani Ndou, in their match against Santos. Ndou was given his marching orders

in their match against Witbank Spurs last Wednesday afternoon.

Xolani Mdaki of Santos was reprimanded with a card, following a late tackle on Jabulani Ndebele in the 10th minute. That did not neutralize the visitors from Cape Town. They continued to fi ght collectively, although it was diffi cult for them to fi nd their way through the defence of Leopards, which was marshalled by Harry Nyirenda

and Marks Munyai.Leopards’ left fl ank, Leonard Ntshangase,

was out of touch. All his passes were intercepted, much to the disappointment of the team’s fans. Ntshangase was replaced with Karabo Tsepe nine minutes before the teams adjourned for the half-time break.

Santos’ veteran defender, Nasif Morris, was booked early in the last half for obstructing Edgar Manaka. Lidoda Duvha strengthened their striking force by introducing Abbas Amidu for Maboke Matlakala. Amidu formed a deadly combination with David Zulu at the forefront.

The home side broke the deadlock in the 68th minute. Karabo Tsepe received a brilliant pass from Edgar Manaka at the left corner. Instead of dishing a square pass to either David Zulu or Abbas Amidu, Tsepe took it upon himself and unleashed a ground cutt er from an awkward angle. Santos’ keeper, Lee Langeveldt, could only watch the ball going beyond his reach. Amidu forced his way through the Santos defence and increased the tally in the 78th minute. Santos lost hope after Leopards’ second goal.

Primary schools across the country are invited to become part of the biggest youth football tournament in the world by entering their under-12 teams in the Danone Nations Cup.

The SA leg of this worldwide competition will start in April and schools have until 27 March to get their entries in. The national winners are awarded the honour of representing SA at the Danone Nations Cup World Finals in Brazil later this year, and will be one of 32 national champion schools from across the globe.

Last year’s world fi nals were in London and Mpumalanga’s Daniye Primary School represented South Africa and will be back in action again this year. Njombo Aden Mabunda, who played for the team in London last year, said he never gets tired of talking about the trip. “We learned a lot. We got to learn about healthy eating and after we met all these countries we went back to school and started asking our teachers to teach about them. So we learned during the trip and even after the trip,” he said.

Die Laerskool Tzaneen het ‘n aflosbyeenkoms, geborg deur KFC, by die skool aangebied. Die laerskole wat deelgeneem het was Gravelotte, Unicorn, Tzaneen, Duiwelskloof, Dr Annecke en Faunapark (Phalaborwa).
