Jaco Kriel, ‘n oud-Standertonner, het tydens Saterdag se laaste toets teen Ierland vir Siya Kolisi as flank vervang. Volgens Jaco het hy ná sy debuut eers in die kleedkamer agtergekom hoe vinnig sy 20 minute op die veld verbygegaan het. Hier is hy en die bokbreier Allister Coetzee na afloop van Saterdag se oorwinning in Port Elizabeth waar Coetzee gesê het dat Kriel ‘n puik impak gemaak het. (Foto: rugby365.com)

Kriel-missiel nou in boktrui

STANDERTON - Jaco Kriel, 26-jarige boorling van Standerton, het Saterdag tydens die derde en laaste toets teen Ierland vir die eerste keer met die groen-en-goud op die veld uitgedraf.

Kriel is op 28 Mei ingesluit by die 31-man Suid-Afrikaanse span wat vir die drie toetse teen Ierland gekies is. Kriel, wat as flank vir die Leeus optree en ook ná sy verpligtinge teenoor die Springbokspan

vir die Kubota Spears in Japan gaan speel, is ‘n oud-leerling van Hoërskool Standerton.

Gedurende 2010 het Kriel 70 wedstryde vir die Goue Leeus gespeel en 135 punte aangeteken. Vanaf 2011 is hy deel van die Leeuspan met 40 wedstryde en 35 punte en sal nog sy eerste verskyn-ing vir die Kubota Spears maak.

Tydens ‘n onderhoud ná sy debuut het Kriel gesê

dat dit heel waarskynlik die beste 20 minute van sy lewe was om van die reserwebank geroep te word en vir sy land uit te draf.

Die Suid-Afrikaners het Ierland met 19 punte teen oor 13 in die derde toets in Port Elizabeth op 25 Junie gewen. Jaco Kriel, Steven Kitshoff en Bongi Mbonambi het al drie Saterdag hul debuut vir die Bokke gemaak. JD

MORGENZON - A 40-year-old woman was taken to Standerton Hospital in a critical condition after she was doused with petrol and set alight by her husband. The incident happened in Sivukile Town-ship in Morgenzon on Saturday, 25 June.

Constable Poulose Nzimande reports that the 52-year-old man ar-rived at home in the evening and was allegedly under the influence of alcohol.

There was an argument between him and his wife and in the heat of the moment the man allegedly doused his wife with petrol and set

her alight. When neighbours heard the woman screaming, they went to the house and found her rolling on the floor engulfed in flames.

When the flames were put out, the woman had already suffered third degree burns.

The husband reportedly fled the scene, but was apprehended by the community and handed over to the police.

Constable Nzimande said that the woman died in hospital on Sun-day. The man has been charged with murder and he was due to ap-pear in court on Tuesday, 28 June. DM

MORGENZON - A car travelling from Standerton to Er-melo with five occupants overturned on the R39 on Satur-day, 25 June. The accident occured at 09:30, approximately 10 km before Morgenzon.

According to the Communication Officer, Constable Pou-lose Nzimande, the 26-year-old driver of an Opel Corsa lost control of the car in the misty conditions and it rolled sev-eral times. Two minors between the ages of 8 and 10 were killed in the crash. The driver and a 24-year-old female pas-senger suffered serious injuries, while another female pas-senger escaped with minor injuries. Cst Nzimande reports

that the two injured people were taken to Standerton Hospi-tal for treatment.

The driver was reportedly in a critical condition when the paramedics assessed him. The children’s bod-ies were taken to Standerton government mortuary. Reports confirmed that the driver is a resident of Kosmos Park, but the four passengers were not yet identified at print. The SAPS believe the passengers were possibly hitch hik-ers and might have been picked up along the road. In the meantime Standerton SAPS have confirmed that the driver of the Corsa was indeed from Kosmos Park after his iden-

tity emerged when his older brother arrived at the station to report that his young brother has taken his car from home without his permission. The younger brother allegedly used the spare key to drive away with the car.

When Standerton SAPS followed up on the accident, it was confirmed to be the same car reported missing. On Sun-day, 26 June, Cst Nzimande reported that the 26-year-old driver also died in the hospital on Saturday night. The death of the driver brings the death toll to three. Cst Nzimande confirmed that a case of culpable homicide was opened for investigation. DM

STANDERTON - Lending a helping hand to those less fortunate than themselves is what pushed Two-for-Joy Social Club in Sakhile to adopt an orphanage at Rooikoppen. The Club was established more than a decade ago by 35 members.

Since its inception they have contributed to the welfare of hundreds of needy children in different schools by providing uniforms as a social responsibility. On Friday, 10 June, Two-for-Joy Social club declared their commitment by officially adopting the Rooikoppen Orphanage at Saving Grace Early Childhood Development Centre. The Chairperson of the club, Mr Sipho Mkwanazi, said that the home currently

accommodates four girls between the ages of eight and 12. They all attent a local primary school.

The club will provide full uniforms, monthly groceries, clothes and Christmas presents, celebrate their birthdays with them. In addition they will assist in paying salaries for two full-time caretakers.

Ms Joyce Sebiloane, Orphanage Manager, expressed her appreciation to the club for their support and for making a huge difference in the lives of the needy children who depend entirely on handouts.

The four girls were over the moon when they were each presented with a full uniform. DM

“Want Jesus Christus, die Seun van God… is nie ‘ja’ en ‘nee’ tegelyk nie. Hy is die ‘ja’ van God, die ‘ja’ op al die beloftes van God” (2 Kor 1:19-20)

Ons is soms so geskok wanneer ons sondaars sien wat soos sondaars optree. Ons vergeet dat ons in sonde ontvang en gebore word en dat dit net Jesus Christus se perfekte liefdesoffer aan die kruis is wat ons as aanvaarbaar voor God, afgesonder vir Hom, deur die belofte van die Heilige Gees beseël.

Ons kyk na ons eie goeie dade en kwalifiseer onsself volgens ons eie aardse merietestelsel. Dit gee ons ‘n gesindheid wat maklik oordeel en moeilik vergewe. Ons enigste kwalifikasie vir ‘n verhouding met die lewende God wat Sy beloftes insluit, is Jesus Christus. Sien Efesiërs 2:1 – 18. Omdat Jesus aan die kruis gesterf het, het Hy elke belofte van God in vervulling gebring.

Daar is ongeveer 3000 beloftes van God aan sy kinders in die Bybel. Die hoogste vervulling van God se beloftes is die ewige lewe wat Hy aan ons gegee het – wat net moontlik was deur die soenverdienste van Jesus.

Wanneer jy weer aan die betroubaarheid van God se beloftes begin twyfel, dink dadelik aan Jesus en kyk na die kruis op Golgota.

Die feit dat Jesus aan die kruis gesterf het sodat ek en jy vir altyd kan leef, is vir ons die klinkklare bewys dat God “ja” sê op elke belofte wat Hy aan ons gemaak het.

Vir elke uitdaging in ons lewens is daar ‘n belofte wat ons in die middel van ons omstandighede oprig in die onfeilbare oorwinning wat ons in Jesus Christus het, omdat Hy lief is vir ons en ons verewig kwalifiseer om Sy beloftes in ons daaglikse lewens te sien manifesteer.

Tydens Saterdag, 25 Junie, se maande-likse oggendmark by Hoërskool George Hofmeyr, was daar weer heelwat stalletjies met items te kies en te keur. Van gesken-kies vir jou viervoetige huisdier tot lekker warm cappuccino om die koue en digte mis te verdryf. Ingelegte en gepekelde groen-te, vars gebak, boeke, bokmelkprodukte en plantjies was maar ván die items wat te koop aangebied was. Die mis en koue het baie besoekers eers later by die mark laat opdaag, maar dit was steeds goed onder-steun. Hier koop ‘n jong soettand van die vars lekkergoed wat uitgestal is.

STANDERTON - ‘n Oud-leerling van Hoërskool Standerton, Minette Smith, is gekies vir die Suid-Afrikaanse span wat in Oktober gaan deelneem aan die IKA-Sjef Olimpiese Spele in Erfurt, Duitsland.

STANDERTON - Die plaaslike AfriForum-tak het pas ŉ herhaler vir hul radionetwerk ontvang. “Die herhaler stel ons in staat om met ons onderskeie veiligheidsnetwerke – waaronder buurtwagte – te kommunikeer en om patrollies te koördineer. Dit bevorder ook samewerking en help om gemeenskappe verder te beveilig,” sê Hillel Coetzer, AfriForum se distrikskoördineerder vir MpumalangaWes.

Coetzer het voorts gesê dat dit ŉ groot mylpaal vir die tak is en dat die herhaler deur ledegeld befonds is. Die tak kan hier-

deur ook direk met die Kasselmanreaksieeenheid, wat in die Standertonomgewing rondbeweeg, kontak maak asook met die tak se eie noodgroep.

“Taklede kan ŉ radio bekom deur ŉ een-malige bedrag te betaal, wat die radio dan sy eiendom maak, en dan op die tak se kanale op die herhaler ingestel word. Die radio sal dan as ŉ sleutelkommunikasiemiddel in noodgevalle dien,” sê Bronwen Pretorius, Standerton se buurtwagvoorsitter. Raak by jou plaaslike tak betrokke. SMS “BUURT-WAG” na 45340 (R1). JD

The 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals proposed the standard stop sign and it was accepted worldwide. It is a hexagon shape with a red background, white border with the uppercase word ‘STOP’ imprinted. This means that it is not an ‘only in South Africa’ sign and must be adhered to by all road users.

This is what you should do at a stop sign: Come to a complete stop at a stop sign or stopped intersection, at the painted line, before the crosswalk or just before the stop sign. Think, count to at least three after stopping to ensure you have taken the time to scan for any oncoming vehicles and that they have had the time to see you. Keep a close eye on approaching vehicles from all directions (including the street directly across from you), and then, when it is safe, move forward through the intersection. Remain aware of all approaching vehicles so you can react as necessary.

Why don’t drivers stop at stop signs? Most reasons can be chalked up to impatience or inattention, but here are some common reasons drivers have cited for ignoring or rolling through stop signs. “No one was there!” Many drivers will approach and pass stop signs late at night because there are fewer drivers on the road. Just because there are not normally people on the roads does not mean you should make decisions like you are the lone late-night driver.

“I was distracted!” Distractions can come from all angles – cell phones, radios, passengers, external factors, exhaustion and more can take your mind or eyes off of the road. Sometimes, especially at night or while driving unfamiliar routes, drivers completely miss stop signs or other road signs.

“I was in a hurry!” Impatience can often play a part in risky driving practices; the temptation to shave a few minutes of time off your commute by speeding, rolling through stop signs or just plain ignoring traffic laws is strong and can be deadly.

“I slowed down!” Simply slowing down at a stop sign is not sufficient. In many cases, stop signs are placed at intersections where visibility may be impaired (either by the road you are on or by cars approaching on other roads), so it is vital to come to a complete stop so you and other drivers have time to react.

Regardless of the reason, hundreds of thousands of car accidents occur each year when drivers run stop signs and many of them result in tragic deaths of drivers, passengers or pedestrians.

This is what could happen if you run a stop sign:• You could strike another car that has right-of-way. If you do not come to a complete stop, you risk striking another vehicle which may be rightfully entering the intersection before you.• Another car could strike you. Depending on the direction of the oncoming vehicle, this could put you, your passengers or people in the other vehicle in great danger.• You could hit a pedestrian or biker. This is especially dangerous at night or in areas of low visibility, where stop signs are especially vital. Make sure to drive in a safe and predictable manner to help pedestrians and bikers cross intersections safely.• You could be ticketed for failure to stop.

Motorists are urged to heed to stop signs, even if it just for the safety of your passengers and other road users. JD

This is what STOP means...

A stop sign is erected at an intersection in-structing motorist to come to a total stand-still, observe other traffic and, when it is safe to do so, to proceed. Many a person taking children to school are up in arms because of the total lack of obedience by other road users, putting their loved ones in danger and also cause damage to their means of transport.

STANDERTON - A man of foreign na-tionality’s cell phone store was recently bro-ken into and cell phones were stolen.

The SAPS started an investigation and a tip-off led them to a house occupied by an-other foreign national on Tuesday, 21 June.

Upon arrival, the occupant swallowed il-legal substances in front of SAPS officers. When they searched the house they found a bag containing various types of cell phones.

He was arrested for the possession of sus-pected stolen cell phones.

The store owner who reported the bur-glary was called to the station to identify the cell phones.

He positively identified 25 cell phones as the ones stolen from his store.

Twenty other cell phones remain un-claimed. Captain Johannes Nhlabathi ap-pealed to members of the public who might

have been robbed of their cell phones, to come to the station to identify them.

He warned chancers not to come, because officers will apply strict identification tac-tics to make sure that correctly identified cell phones are claimed by rightful owners. Cpt Nhlabathi confirmed that a 27-year-old suspect was charged with the possession of stolen goods. He was due to appear in court soon. DM

Etiquette - how to conduct yourselfUnfortunately, many people consider respect for the rules of etiquette as something shameful, considering it a feature of classy aesthetes who are removed from real life.

Herewith, a few simple etiquette rules which every self-respecting person should know.• If you say, ‘I invite you,’ that

means you pay. You may say, ‘Let’s go to a restaurant,’ and in this case, everyone pays for themselves. If a man offers to pay for a woman, she can agree.

• Never pay a visit without calling first. If someone comes to see you without warning, you might be wearing a bathrobe and hair curlers!

• Don’t put your phone on the table in public. By doing so, you show how important a role this device plays in your life, how bored you are of what’s happening, and that at any moment you’re ready to stop a useless conversation and once again check your Instagram feed, answer an important call, or try new levels in Angry Birds.

• Don’t invite a girl on a date if you’re going to be texting all evening.

• A man never carries a woman’s handbag. However, he can take her coat to carry it to the cloakroom.

• If you’re walking along with someone and your companion greets a person you don’t know, you should also greet them.

• Most people believe that the only proper way of eating sushi is using chopsticks. However, this really depends. Men, unlike women, can eat sushi with their hands.

• Your shoes should always be clean.

• Avoid meaningless talk on the phone. If you need someone to talk to, it’s better to meet with them in person.

• If someone offends you, you shouldn’t return the favour or raise your voice to the person who insulted you. Don’t sink to their level. Just smile and leave the ill-mannered company. JD


STANDERTON - The woman accused of the murder of the late Advocate Yandisa Maron-go, who was found murdered in 2014, appeared at Standerton Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, 21 June, to make a formal bail application.

The 49-year-old woman from Volksrust is facing two charges - the first charge for house break-ing and the second for murder.

The suspect was granted bail of R10 000 for both charges. The court further ordered her to hand her passport, her car and its documentation over to the police and report at Volksrust Police Station twice a week.

She will not be able to leave

the Volksrust area without the permission of the investigating officer. She was ordered to ap-pear in court on 15 July.

The magistrate notified the suspect that the trial will be conducted at the High Court at a later date.

The court heard that the first accused, who was arrested for possession of the deceased’s car in 2015, skipped bail. The 26-year-old man from Newcas-tle was granted bail two weeks ago after spending time in cus-tody and he was also reportedly due in court to face a charge of murder. When he did not arrive, the court issued a warrant for his arrest. DM

STANDERTON - On Wednesday, 22 June, mem-bers of Standerton SAPS cluster abandoned their weekly boardroom meeting and took to the streets to clean crime hot-spots in town.

A team of police officers from all seven cluster sta-tions, dressed in civilian clothes descended on the taxi rank, Shoprite Centre, and the Junxion Centre where they conducted search procedures for two hours.

Two people were arrested for public drinking and fined R250. Eight foreign nationals were arrested for failing to produce legal documents that legitimize them to be in the country. A 27-year-old woman was found in possession of 59.9 kg of dagga and a 19-year-old man was found in possession of 136.7 kg of dagga.

Operation Clean-Out was launched following a crime wave in the CBD. Criminals are sowing panic

and fear and the business sector is operating under a constant fear of attack following resent cases of rob-bery. Crime numbers are sky high in the residential area Kosmos Park has experienced several house rob-beries recently to the extent that Kasselman Security Services has offered a R5 000 reward for anyone who can assist with information that can lead to the arrest and successful prosecution of house robbers.

Captain Johannes Nhlabathi, said that the SAPS will continue with the operation and he paid special tribute to all officers who made several arrests within the short time of two hours. He confirmed that all the suspects will appear in court as soon as possible. The operation is conducted by Station Command-ers, Community Policing Officers, the K9 Unit, the Crime Intelligence Unit and the Family Violence and Child Protection Unit. The operation was led by Cluster Commander, Brigadier Lentsoane. DM

STANDERTON - Frustrated parents of pupils from Hlobisa Pri-mary School in Sakhile took to the streets on Wednesday, 15 June, and marched to Lekwa Local Municipality’s offices to hand-over a memorandum that expresses their anger and frustration about what they call an environmental hazard to their children’s health.

The march follows numerous attempts by the school’s governing body and parents to get the coal business that operates next to the school to be removed or relocated, after it was discovered that the business is a health hazard. According to the memorandum handed over to the municipal authorities, the matter was brought to the at-tention of the former Premier of Mpumalanga, Mr Thabang Mak-wetla, when he had visited Standerton in 2006. It is reported that the Premier instructed the then Mayor of Lekwa, Councillor Juliet Radebe, to implement the removal of the coal business next to the school. Nothing to that effect was done. In 2009 parents com-plained to the former Municipal Administrator, Jabulane Sindane, who was also reportedly convinced that the coal yard was a poten-tial health hazard to the children and subsequently instructed the removal to be implemented - still nothing was done.

The chairman of the school’s governing body, Tshidiso Mosea, said that the current Municipal Manager, Linda Tshabalala, also promised to look into the matter after he sent environmental offic-ers to assess the situation almost two years ago. To this date nothing has been done about the impending health hazard. Cosmos News published the story in 2015 and the Municipal Manager indeed

PROVINCIAL - The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) monitors the dam levels across the country daily and almost all the dams remain lower than they were this time last year.

As on 20 June, the DWS statistics shows that Heyshope Dam (full storage capacity of 445 million cubic metres) is 87.7% full with Grootdraai Dam (FSC of 349.6 m3) 82.1% full. Jericho Dam is at 76.2% of its capacity, Loskop Dam at 56.4%, Middelburg Dam at 49.3%, Morgenstond Dam at 52.4%, Nooitge-dacht Dam at 63.7%Vygeboom Dam at 50.4% and Witbank Dam at 55.1% full.

The communities where water is available are encouraged to continue to use water sparingly and explore oppor-tunities to reuse grey water for garden-ing and cleaning. JD

promised to look into the complaint. “We have exhausted all the avenues to get the matter resolved but nothing has be done. We have decided to take this route and hand the memorandum over in order to demand a speedy resolution,” Tshidiso Mosea said. The memo-randum was received by the Executive Manager of Co-operatives and Development, Sipho Nkosi. DM

Families flooded with human wastehuman waste for more than a year around their shacks.

Others have opted to vote for change on 3 August. The residents say that Lekwa has failed them.


Pupils testing positive for anabolic steroids could be suspended from participating in school sport for a year, and those found guilty of selling the performance-enhancing drugs face being expelled. That is if a new policy is given the green light, which would make South Africa the first country in the world to implement a drug-testing programme for anabolic steroids in state schools.

These are the sanctions that the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport wants the governing bodies of state schools to impose on errant schoolchildren. The move to get the institute to conduct testing for banned performance-enhancing drugs at public high schools came a step closer to realisation after a concept document was submitted two weeks ago to the department of basic education’s director general, Mathanzima Mweli, for approval.

This document details how principals will have to delegate power to the institute to conduct either random or “with notice” tests on athletes for prohibited substances. The test would be done after taking into account the best interests of the athlete as well as his or her safety, and would require reasonable evidence to be provided that the learner was using a prohibited substance.

If the proposal is approved, testing for prohibited substances could start as early

as next year and would be confined to high schools. For the first year of the programme, which is a partnership involving the institute and the departments of basic education and sport and recreation, R2 million would be set aside for drug testing and a further R1.75 million for training. Plans outlined in the concept document include:•Getting governing bodies to add sanctions

for learners found guilty of taking banned drugs to the school’s code of conduct;

•The South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport developing anti-doping education content to include in the school curriculum;

•Getting the institute to train teachers and coaches at school level on what to do when an athlete tests positive for a banned substance; and

•Asking the sports department to bring retired athletes on board to run anti-doping programmes at schools.

Importantly, the coach, teacher or any other staff member who is complicit “in the performance-enhancing substance abuse behaviour of an athlete” will also face a sanction, but this is not spelled out in detail in the document. The concept document defines anabolic substances as hormone and metabolic “modulators”, diuretics and other masking agents. Urine samples will be taken from the schoolchildren who are tested and

then sent to a laboratory accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency for analysis.

A child who tests positive will be suspended from participating in any school sport until the disciplinary process is finalised. The institute said that, should the programme go ahead, it would not disclose the identity of any child who tested positive or the name of their school, but would use the finding for statistical purposes alone. According to the protocol, schools would be obliged to inform the institute of any schoolchild suspected of taking, possessing or trafficking in banned substances.

The basic education department’s acting director for the safety in education directorate, Charles Wilson, said, in terms of the proposed policy, they would help provide anti-doping training to sports coaches at school and district level. He said Mweli would have the final say over which sporting codes would be targeted for testing, adding: “My thinking is it would be rugby and athletics. “We are hoping that the education and training of sports coaches will start this year, so we can start implementing testing next year.”

He said schools would have to register directly with the institute to confirm their acceptance of the drug protocol, before being targeted for education and training programmes and testing. Wilson said his

department would contact those schools that did not register and encourage them to do so. Khalid Galant, chief executive of the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport, said South Africa is regarded internationally as a pioneer as a result of its moves to introduce drug testing at state schools. “During our annual global conferences, I met representatives from the United Kingdom, Ireland and New Zealand, and they were all looking at how we were going about it and how they can implement a similar programme.”

He said the protocol applied specifically to school sports, and that the institute’s anti-doping rules would apply when athletes participated in a competitive sport under the auspices of the various national sporting federations. (Provided by Mail & Guardian) JD

High school athletes may be punished for using banned substances

NASIONAAL - AfriForum Jeug het ŉ beurs- en studiefonds gestig ten bate van Afrikaans en studente wat in dié taal wil studeer. Donateurs en alumni wat ŉ bydrae tot die fonds wil lewer, sal nie net ŉ verskil in Afrikaanssprekende studente se lewens maak nie, maar ook ŉ verskil in die bevordering en ontwikkeling van Afrikaans teweegbring.

Die fonds is gestig nadat die Universiteite van Stellenbosch (US), Pretoria (UP) en die Vrystaat (UV) verlede week besluit het om Afrikaans as onderrigmedium af te skaf. “Dié universiteite het dit duidelik gemaak dat hulle nie daarin belangstel om inheemse tale en moedertaalonderrig te bevorder nie.

AfriForum Jeug moedig skenkers en alumni wat in dié universiteite belê en ten gunste van Afrikaans as onderrigtaal is, om hul beleggingsbesluite te heroorweeg,” sê Morné Mostert, AfriForum Jeug se nasionale projekkoördineerder.

“Die fonds wat deur AfriForum Jeug gestig is, sal onafhanklik deur Helpende Hand bestuur word en nie aan politieke druk toegee nie,” voeg Bernard Pieters, AfriForum Jeug se Maties-kampuskoördineerder, by.

AfriForum Jeug het onlangs ook aangekondig dat vier Afrikaanssprekende studente aan die UP, UV, US en Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) in Potchefstroom elk ŉ beurs ter waarde van R20 000 kan wen. Om in aanmerking daarvoor te kom, kan studente hul naam en die naam van die kampus waar hulle studeer na 32687 SMS (R1).

Alumni of skenkers wat tot AfriForum Jeug se studiefonds wil bydra, kan ŉ e-pos aan Evalna Pieterse by [email protected] stuur. JD

Slim het definitief nie sy baas by Hoërskool Secunda gevang toe die uitslae van die jaarlikse internasionale Bio-Science Olimpiade bekendgestel is nie. Die skool het die algehele negendeplek in Suid-Afrika losgeslaan en ‘n leerling – Enez Nobrega – opgelewer wat algeheel 18de met 84% geëindig het. Hier is die groep leerlinge saam met hul onderwysers wat aan die olimpiade deelgeneem het. Nobrega het ook ‘n gouesertifikaat saam met mede-leerlinge, Heloize Hatting en Carla Mathee, ingepalm.

Kaleigh Els, ‘n leerlinge van Laerskool Kruinpark, het Donderdag, 16 Junie, haar Mpumalanga-kleure vir ‘freestyle’, ‘modern’ en akrobatiese danse ontvang en in totaal vier balkies en vier sertifikate tydens die Mpumalanga-kompetisie verower.

During a motivational day held on 3 June for Gr 12 pupils, all ten of the top learners from Holmdene, Zikhetheleni, and George Hofmeyer schools received certificates for their hard work. Trophies were presented to the best performing school (Zihetheleni), the most improved school (Qondulwazi) and for the best managed school (George Hofmeyr). Guest who were present on the day are, from left to right, Mr Tsotetsi and Mr Radebe (Deputy Principal and Principal of Holmdene), Mr Gambiza (Principal of Qondulwazi), Mr S Ndlovu (Circuit Manager, Lekwa East), Mr Mbangu (Gr 12 mathematics teacher at Zikheteleni) and Ms M Kriel, Principal of George Hofmeyr.

Hoërskool Standerton se vier o-16-spelers wat vanjaar vir die Puma Akademiespan gekies is maak reeds ‘n groot gedeelte van die span uit en dit is dus geen verbasing dat dit een van die spelers uit die Standerton-geledere is wat as kaptein aangewys is nie. Michael Crumplin, o-16 A-flank van SHS, staan híérdie posisie vol. By hom is die afrigter van die 2016-Akademiespan en onderwyser aan SHS, mnr Brendan Coetzee.

STANDERTON - Dit wil voor-kom asof provinsiale oorwinnings besig is om vanjaar Laerskool Standerton se voorland te word wanneer dit by die 2016 Mpuma-langaliga vir mediumskole kom.

Nie net het die skool twee net-balspanne opgelewer wat vanjaar koning in hul liga gekraai het nie, maar spog hulle nou ook met ‘n rugbyspan wat dieselfde prestasie vermag het.

Die gedugte o-10-spannetjie het Dinsdag, 21 Junie, na Bethal

vertrek waar hulle op Hoërskool Hoogenhout se veld die vloer met Laerskool HM Swart in die span-nende eindstryd met 17-12 gevee het. Volgens afrigters Julian Fer-reira en PJ Mostert is dit die tweede keer dat dié span as Mpumalan-gawenners uit die stryd tree.

Laerskool Standerton se o-10-spelers sluit dus by die o-12- en o-13 A-netbalspan as ligakampio-ene van 2016 aan en sal die spelers later vanjaar hul provinsiale kleure ontvang. DK

STANDERTON - Die weer was die dui-wesport tot dusver hierdie seisoen genadig gewees. Ook hierdie afgelope Saterdag se wedvlug vanaf Dewetsdorp oor ‘n gemid-delde afstand van 385 kilometer soos die kraai vlieg, was nie anders nie.

Die uitslae is as volg - Jaaroud-afdeling: John Vienings (1,22,24 en 30), Robert Scott (2,4,5,6,27 en 29), Ben Steyn (3,10 en 12), Danie van Staden (7,8,17 en 18), Jack van Rooyen (9, 20 en 25), Geelbos (11 en 15), David van der Linde (13 en 14), Dirk Smit (19), Drikus Odendaal (16,26 en 28), David

Armitage (21) en Norden Lombaard (23). Die wenspoed was 1466.88 meter per mi-nuut of sowat 88 km/h.

In die ope-afdeling was dit Drikus Odendaal (1 en 2), Danie van Staden (3,13,17 en 23), Robert Scott (4,6,9 en 20), John Vienings (5,15,27,28 en 29), David van der Linde (7,14 en 21), Marius Ester-huizen (8, 18 en 22), Geelbos (10), Johan Marneweck (12), Norden Lombaard (19) en Ben Steyn (24,25,26 en 30).

Rolbalspelers van Standerton het op 25 en 26 Junie aan die Hoëveld Driespel op Ermelo deelgeneem. Standerton se span, wat bestaan Jacky Billmann (links), Elrina Greaves (middel) en Maria Nel (regs) het nadat die punte verwerk is, derde geëindig. Die spanne waarteen hulle verloor het was onderskeidelik net met een punt en die ander met twee punte voor en hulle was ook baie ervare provinsiale spelers.

Ses karatekas van die Three Swords Dojo in Standerton het gekwalifiseer om vir hulle volgende karategordels te gradeer. Voor, van links na regs, is Suné du Preez (groen), Amy van Wyk (geel) en Johan Bierman (geel). In die middel is Ehrich van Eeden (pers I), Kunga Nyoni (oranje) en Luzané Scheepers (oranje). Agter staan Jannie Degenaar (vierde Dan) en Reney Raven (tweede Dan), die Shotokan-klub se instrukteurs.

STANDERTON - Wat meer na ‘n kriekettelling as ‘n rugby eindtelling klink, het Standerton Rugbyklub se eerstespan, Matla se eerstes met ‘n alle-mintige 103 – 3 op Hoërskool Standerton se veld geklop. Standerton spelers het 15 keer agter die pale gaan kuier en Matla moes tevrede wees met ‘n enkele skep-skop wat tussen die pale deur is.

“As president and coach of Standerton Netball Club, I am very proud of every player. It is indeed something to be proud of to have five players chosen for the regional team. Girls, you deserve it!” Chantell Ness, President of the Standerton Netball Club, exclaimed moments after Barelize Steenekamp, Marisca van Wyk and Melicia Sauer were chosen for the senior teams and Lisa van der Linde and Tarryn Cubit were chosen for the u-21 team.

Golfers in the mist

Joré Nortje was one of the first players to tee-off in thick mist on Saturday. The fog held up play for a while and players obtained good scores during the day.

STANDERTON - During the Medal Stablefort Golf Competition that took place on Saturday, 25 June, at the Standerton Country Club, 16 players took to the T-boxes later than they planned. Thick and heavy fog hampered their tee-off times and after waiting for more than an hour, the first players decided to give it a go.

Even though it was like playing in the dark with no indication of where the players’ balls lie, the players scored good scores. Tertius Brits won the day with 40 and Deon Grimsell in second place with his 39. Nick Momberg and Jacques Scholtz both scored 38. Patrizia Lombard and Nic Momberg were the only players to play a two-club. JD
