EnoughEnoughis enough!

EnoughHawkers next to the R71 will be removed, pledged the Limpopo Department of Roads — but the Tzaneen business community and resi-dents say hawkers are taking over in town and it must be stopped. Read our report on page 3.

Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, ensovoorts, van Vlieg is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die eienaar en personeel van die koerant nie!

“In a distant and second-hand set of dimensions, in an astral plane that was never meant to fl y, the curling star-mists waver and part…

See…Great A’Tuin

the Turtle comes, swim-ming slowly through the in-terstellar gulf, hydrogen frost on his ponderous limbs, his huge and ancient shell pocked with meteor craters. Through sea-sized eyes that are crusted with rheum and asteroid dust He stares fi xedly at the Destination.”

The fi rst paragraph of the Pro-logue of, The Colour of Magic. 1983. Or what Vlieg likes to call, the Genesis of Vlieg’s literacy. This was the fi rst of forty novels in the Discworld series, created by sir Terry Pratchett , amongst thirty other books he wrote or co-authored. Sir Terry was cured of his Alzheimer’s disease, or as he used to call it, his embug-gerance, last week when Death arrived and took him away to where-ever, at the arguable youthful age of sixty six.

Therefore, Great A’Tuin the Turtle has stopped swimming with the Weight of four el-ephants Berilia, Tubul, Great T’Phon and Jerakeen on its back, carrying the Discworld. There

are no more mysterious moun-tains and no more water spilling over the Rimfall. The tyranny of the city of Ankh-Morpork, is no more. The tyrant of the city, Lord Vetinari will never again send his secretary, mister Drumknott , to fi nd the day’s crossword puzzle, nor will he be visiting Lady Margolott a in Uberwald late at night any more. No more Diamond King

of Trolls or Rhys Rhysson, Low King of the Dwarfs. No dwarf will ever mine a single gem again. No troll will ever heal a wound again. The clacks are quiet and the goblins who operated them so eff ectively, gone. Commander Vimes will never be bothered again by the Guild of Assassins, nor will Nobby Nobbs have to make another ar-rest. Moist von Lipwig invented the postal ser-vice, money and banks to no avail. It seems that Archchancellor Ridcully of Unseen University and the other Chairs of Faculty have fi nally mas-tered magic, for they too, have now disappeared. It seems like the Nac Mac Feegle have stopped fi ghting, which means they are gone, because even death does not mean that a Nac Mac Feegle will stop fi ght-

ing. Crivens! Even the River Ankh has stopped stinking!

For those, like Vlieg, who lived in awe of the greatest author this Ballworld has ever produced, in awe of how he batt led with his memory and despite his disease wrote his last few books during his clearer moments, this world will never be the same again.

“The world is changing and it needs its shepherds and some-times its butchers. And in this case, I’m its shepherd. Your en-

terprise has been noted. And all that anyone can say now is: What next? What litt le thing will change the world because litt le tinkers carried on tinkering?”

The last paragraph of his for-tieth and last book in the Disc-world series, Raising Steam. 2013. Or, off course, the Revela-tion of Vlieg’s literacy.

Thank you sir for your inspira-tion and for keeping Vlieg, albeit arguably, sane!

Terry Pratchett is dead. Long live Terry Pratchett .

Terry Pratchett wisdom:“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you diff erently too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving”“Always remember that the crowd that applauds your coronation is the same crowd that will applaud your be-heading. People like a show.”“Trouble is always easy to fi nd when you have enough people looking for it.”“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will in-sist on coming around and trying to put things in it.”“Real stupidity beats artifi cial intel-ligence every time.”“Imagination, not intelligence, made us human.”“The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.”“The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.”“The presence of those seeking the truth is infi nitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they’ve found it.”

Sampie En Alida Liversage Much more that what has (or has not) taken place to

restore their reputation. A good reputation goes hand in hand with respect and trust. Respect and trust can only be earned. So,... how has “Our reputation now been restored”?Dirk Stoltz IV Your reputation is, by de� nition,

the estimation in which a person or organisation is held, especially by the

community or public in general. Therefore

the only thing any person or organisation can do is to enhance their reputation by doing the right things right. The MDM has only just started doing that and due to their past it will take quite some time to build a reputation to be proud of!Dirk Stoltz IV My Pa, Dirk Stoltz, sê vroeër dat

die MDM nog nooit reputasie gehad het nie, dus is hulle reputasie herstel na die

beste wat dit nog ooit was!

Al wat ek gaan byvoeg: kom ons hoop hulle streef daarna om wel ‘n goeie reputasie op te bou!

In a media release the relatively new mayor of the (‘bankrupt’) Mopani District Municipality stated “Our reputation has now been restored”.• Question: What does it really take to restore a reputation?

Die relatief nuwe burgemeester van die (‘bankrot’) Mopani Distriksmunisipaliteit het in ‘n mediavrystelling gesê: “Our reputation has now been restored”.• Vraag: Wat behels dit werklik om ‘n reputasie in ere te herstel?

Do you not know

spoken?while his name is still

that a man is not dead

- Sir Terry Pratchett

The ruling authority in Tza-neen is the GTM and not the informal traders! If the GTM does not have the will to bring back law and order, the com-munity — especially the for-mal, commercial community — will take action. Enough is enough and we will no longer be ruled by hawkers.

This is how a prominent businessman with more than one business and a number of properties in Tzaneen’s central business district reacted aft er Monday’s meeting of Tzaneen Business against Crime.

It is now clear that businessmen and -women in the CBD are not prepared to take it any longer that they are regulated, whilst hawkers do as they like. It is es-

timated that 150 to 200 hawkers are actively trading in Tzaneen, with only 44 being licenced to trade in designated areas.

Pavements have become inaccessible, pick pocketing is a huge problem in es-pecially Danie Jou-bert Street, vehicles are being damaged by either greedy parking assistants who demand mon-ey from motorists or by hawkers on the pavements, hygiene in certain areas is at an all-time low etcetera.

At Monday’s meeting the chairman of Business against Crime, Mr Solly Masetla, said

that it is clear that action can no longer be delayed. Mem-bers of the SAPS att ended the meeting and some of them also

added to the frustra-tions that they expe-rienced as a result of the out-of-control hawker situation.

Mr Kenny Makhubele from the GTM disclosed, much to the shock of the people in at-tendance, that the GTM’s traffi c offi cers were unwilling to act against the hawkers.

This will, however, be rectifi ed, he said. The GTM’s environ-mental health offi cer, Ms Pa-tience Mboweni, said the rules

and regulations to control the informal traders are in place, albeit old rules and regulations.

The process to obtain the names of hawkers with per-mits, get an accurate descrip-tion of the designated areas for hawkers and to promote proper liaison between the GTM, Business against Crime, the SAPS and other role play-ers will be co-ordinated by Ms Mandie de Nysschen.

She is acting as secretary as well and she is driving the new initiative with a lot of enthu-siasm. It will be interesting to see what the next few weeks will bring, regarding the total-ly unacceptable situation with a free-for-all hawkers situation in and even around Tzaneen.

The Tzaneen Care Group enjoyed excel-lent support at a function held at the Fair-view convention centre last week, which was att ended by more than 260 people.

More than fi ft y sponsors came forward to the benefi t of the group, who acquired new premises where its caregiving will be operating from in future. The house in 36 Maritz Street was gift ed by an anony-mous benefactor. The group also received a surprise donation of R50 000 from Smit Garrun.

The Tzaneen Care Group is a non prof-it company with limited resources solely

reliant on the goodwill and generosity of the community. Volunteers act as caregiv-ers in that they off er emotional, moral and fi nancial support to local cancer patients.

The group was founded in 1989 and in recent years has built up stock consisting of wheel chairs, hospital beds, matt resses, commodes, walkers and crutches to name a few. Currently it cares for more than eighty patients. Their vision for the new house is to off er and care for cancer pa-tients at all times maintaining a sense of respect and dignity for any person being tested, says chairman Yasmeen Moosa.

Members of the Tzaneen Care Group are (front) Mss Juanine Jackson, Gerda Drewes and Sonia de Witt. At the back are Mss Salome Meyer, Magda Bootha, Yasmeen Moosa (chairperson), Evelyn Klinkert, Mia de Bruyn, Halima Gouse, Tracy Pratt, Macushla Muller, Melissa Strydom, Yolande Firaz and Wendy Coleman.

The Crime SceneCrime Reporter: Elliot Mathye - [email protected]

Additional time for 3Three men accused of theft , armed robbery, hĳ acking and illegally possessing a fi rearm were sentenced to fi ve years each by the Tzaneen Regional Court. Jean Pierie Potgieter (24) was sentenced to fi ve years imprisonment for theft , while Karabo Desire Lebea (29) and Lisbon Bonny Ndlala (32) — both from Relela Village outside Tzaneen — were also sentenced to fi ve years imprisonment for theft and ten more for armed robbery. The two were also declared unfi t to possess fi rearms.

The additional ten years for Ndlala and Lebea relate to their involvement in a car hĳ acking plot that took place last year at Makanye Village, outside Polokwane, where they fl ed with a white Polo Vivo which they took at gunpoint.

Lebea and Ndlala reportedly also committ ed a planned robbery near Standard Bank in Tzaneen, where Potgieter was to deposit the stolen money. They were arrested the same day. During the arrests, part of the money and the hĳ acked vehicle were recovered.

Haenertsburg arrests 19Police in Haenertsburg arrested nineteen people for various criminal activities over the past two weeks: seventeen people were arrested for contravening the Road Traffi c Act, one for being in possession of dagga, and one for assault GBH.

Bolobedu detains 83Bolobedu Police arrested 83 suspects for various criminal activities over the past week: three suspects were arrested for murder, 44 for public drinking, four for housebreaking and theft , two for rape, two for shoplift ing, fi ft een for assault GBH, three for common assault, two for business robbery, two for drunken driving, two for possessing stolen property and the rest for common robbery, crimen injuria, armed robbery and violating a protection order.

Child murderer arrestedA 34-year-old man, Mohale David Maenetsa, was arrested late last week aft er he kidnapped

and murdered 9-year-old Ria Letsoalo. The incident happened at Medingeng Village in Bolobedu. The deceased and her 7-year-old brother were reportedly left in the care of the suspect while their mother att ended a funeral two weeks ago. Maemetsa was reportedly dating the mother.

The Police followed up on information provided by members of the community. Maenetsa was arrested along the Modjadjiskloof/Polokwane road, allegedly on his way to Gauteng. Upon his arrest, he led the police to an isolated bushy area outside the village where the body of the deceased was found buried in a shallow grave.

Maenetsa appeared in the Bolobedu Magistrates’ Court early in the week on charges of housebreaking, murder and kidnapping. His case has been remanded to later in the month for a formal bail application.He was reportedly wanted for another murder, two assaults, theft , and two housebreakings in Bolobedu.The cause of the victims’ death is yet to be determined by the post-mortem and the motive behind the killing is unknown.

M’kloof jails 13The police in Modjadjiskloof arrested thirteen suspects for various criminal activities over the past week: four people were arrested for assault GBH, three for possession of dagga, three for prostitution and three for contravening the Liquor Act.

Distraught family wants

answersThe distraught family of Solly Mkansi (45) is desperately seeking answers aft er he was recently found lying dead at the back of his one-roomed house.

Mkansi, who was a fi sherman and sold vegetables on the streets of Mandlakazi in N’wa-Mitwa using his old bicycle, was found with stab wounds all over his body and a deep cut on his head. He was covered with a yellow sheet.

The 45-year-old’s death triggered violence in the village. His friend, a tavern owner who reportedly informed the family and community that Mkansi was killed aft er winning a dice game at his tavern, was brutally assaulted by the family and community members. His double storey house and tavern were torched, including his parents’ apartments, and he is now in hospital. According to Ms Florah Mashele, Mkansi’s aunt, the tavern owner said he was present at the killing.

The local police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe, says the damage is estimated at millions of rands. Cases of public violence, arson, malicious damage to property and assault with intend to do grievous bodily harm have been opened. Investigations are underway.

Police hunt down fraudsters

The police in Tzaneen have launched a massive manhunt for four fraudsters who have been terrorising members of the community in and around Tzaneen.

Three women — Malwande Gxogxa (25), Bontle Libate (26) and Zimbabwean national Vongai Beanga Tirivaviri (32) — and a man believed to be in his early thirties have been linked to a number of scams in the area and are on the run from police. According to police reports, cases dating back to last year have been opened. The four have allegedly already defrauded people to an amount of R130 000.

The suspects are committ ing fraud in various ways through the mobile banking of cell-phone banking systems. Their methods include using fake ID books to apply for personal loans at banks, accessing people’s mobile banking accounts to transfer money into their own bank accounts and promising people quick personal loans in return for an advance payment.

The Police urge anyone with information that might help bust the criminal syndicate to contact D\const Andrew Ngobeni on 073 618 7850 or 082 708 3345, Col James Espach

on 082 451 7169, the nearest police station, the Police Crime Stop number 08600 10111 or the crime line 32211.

Missing child sparks violenceAn elderly woman and her family in Sekgopo outside Modjadjiskloof are seeking protection from the police aft er community members threatened to burn them alive.

The woman is accused of orchestrating the abduction of 5-year-old Lethabile Rakubu, a Gr R pupil at Moshate Village in the area. The fi ve-year-old reportedly left her place for school early last week. She was last seen playing outside the school with her friends.

The community reportedly consulted prophets and a sangoma for help. According to Matome Mamohlale from the Sekgopo Traditional Council, the prophets and sangoma gave the community members a description of the person who kidnapped the child.

“They said the kidnapper was young, light in complexion and liked wearing All Star shoes,” Mamohlale told Bulletin. “The picture painted by the sangoma was exactly of the woman’s grandson,” he added.

The community reportedly looked for the elderly woman’s grandson in the area, and when they could not fi nd him, they went to her homestead. Another one of the grandchildren told the protesting community that the elderly woman arrived home with a baby on her back the same week.

“What the child said about the granny made the community believe what the sangoma and prophets predicted,” said Mamohlale.

The community reportedly surrounded the elderly woman’s house and threw stones, but did not burn her as they wanted her to reveal the location of the child. “The elderly woman told the crowd that she was not carrying a child but a cat when she arrived home that evening, and that she is used to doing,” said one community member. “It was almost horrifi c when the community confronted her,” added the member.

The Police reportedly rescued the woman and her family from being burnt alive. The family has since been taken to a place of safety.

The police are also in search for the child. The Limpopo Police spokeswoman, Colonel Ronel Ott o, confi rmed a missing case has been opened. The Police are still investigating the disappearance of the child.

The Police appeal to the community at large to be wary of the four fraudsters operating in and around Tzaneen.

The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) has set out to assist benefi ciaries of land reform who are being exploited by cheap lease agreements, tying them up for years (sometimes decades) in contracts without any benefi t.

In Limpopo it is mainly restitution farms being targeted by unscrupulous business people who lease farms for a mere fraction of the real value without any training, empowerment or partner-ship opportunities to the land claimants.

Acknowledging that the department itself is also to blame, an offi cial of the DRDLR said in Polokwane this week that farmer de-velopment and land reform should be bet-ter coordinated, and benefi ciaries should be served with bett er post sett lement support.

Lack of support causes many benefi ciar-ies to suff er fi nancial and social diffi culties which tempt them to abandon the farms, even to to sell it.

The department’s habit of not paying mar-ket related prices in land reform transac-tions, also destroys access to fi nancing for both benefi ciaries and farmers remaining in the area, as collateral gets eroded.

Lease agreements are then based not on true market value, but on the value payed by the state, which seldom allows for a feasible or fair income.

While complementing farmers in the Mopa-

ni district with some of the most innovating and successful farmer development programs in the country, the DRDLR said that there is a clear distinction between farmer-to-farmer cooperation, where commercial farmers like ZZ2, Bosveld Citrus and Halls & Sons engage land reform benefi ciaries in active partner-ships like in Mooketsi, Georges Valley and Hoedspruit on the one hand, and exploi-tive lease agreements where non-farmers pay peanuts for a lifestyle break away lodge and hunting playgrounds such as Inkonka, Koe-does River Valley and Phalaborwa.

At some of these farms the benefi ciaries are being paid 0,4% of the value of the land per annum, and not even being paid that regu-larly every month. While investigating these exploitive leases, the department realized that claimants need legal assistance as they are up against some of the most notorious legal fi rms in the country, who were also in-volved in the spectacular failures in Letsitele Valley and elsewhere in Mopani where both government, banks and benefi ciaries lost hundreds of millions of rands.

The department also referred to off ers from Game Ranching SA, the sugar industry and various other commodity organisations to render professional assistance to benefi cia-ries to land reform, partnering up with them and ensuring sustainable outcomes.

The SA Library Week theme for 2015 is “Connect @ Your Library.” Libraries allow people to connect with books, with ideas and with one another. The Greater Tzaneen Libraries all have free internet for the public, except the Tzaneen Library which is soon to be connected as well. In the photo librarians Mike Rameetse and Rosina Rachidi are happy to pose with voracious reader Andrew Marx. Library staff decided to give a LIASA Library Week

2015 T-shirt to the fi rst person entering the Tzaneen Library on the fi rst day of Library Week (16 March). Mr. Marx was just the right person to receive the gift as he loves reading and spends much of his time in the library, quietly reading. During Library Week colouring pictures with a reading theme are available free to all children entering the library. They can colour in at the library, or take the pictures home.

Steadying his saligna pieces on a rock in the park near the Tzaneen Information Centre is Mr Andrew Tembo (29). While he saws his wood he explains that he has a showroom in one of the Information thatched huts but his warehouse and workshop is in Ofcolaco. Tembo left his home in Blantyre, Malawi, for greener pastures fi ve years ago and settled in the Ofcolaco area. He’d ex-celled at carpentry at school and used this gift to start up what’s now a successful wicker business. He employs two South Africans and two Malawians. Using Saligna, cane and bamboo they make beautiful furniture from kists to chairs, drawers, headboards and tables.

‘Tzanikana’Die ongeduld by sakelui en inwoners van Tzaneen en die omgewing oor die Gro-ter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit se laksheid met die ordening van die informele han-delsektor laai op. Dit is ‘n drukkoker wat gevaarlik baie stoom opbou.

Marikana is steeds vars in die geheue — nie net omdat dit so skokkend was nie, maar veral ook omdat Suid-Afrikaners bekommerd is oor hoe die regering steeds toelaat dat dinge verkeerd loop tot by ‘n punt waar dit handuit ruk, wat dan met ‘n mindere of meerdere mate van geweld deur die polisie onderdruk moet word.

Nou sit ons in die pragtige Laeveld en hou asem op dat ons hier ‘n ‘Tzanikana’ — ‘n plaaslike Marikana — moet vrees.

Die GTM se personeel wat dié broei-ende storm moet bestuur om dit af te wend, is egter self tamelik leierloos. Daar is nie kontinuïteit in die hoogste amp (munisipale bestuurder) se kantoor nie, en die raadslede is met kleinpolitiek be-sig (en daar is in elk geval verdeeldheid wat ook dreig om uit te bars).

Die sakelui wat nou besluit het genoeg is genoeg, verdien almal wat orde na-streef se ondersteuning. Want (tragies soos dit is) hier is mos nie ‘n respekta-bele burgerlike struktuur wat leiding kan neem of kan inskakel by pogings om die dorp ordelik en neties te hou nie.

Ons Mening Die Boodskap

Oppression: an aff ront to humanity

Some time ago I went to buy food at a fast food restaurant. On my turn to buy, a white man came in.

Or rather, I heard a person walk in and wait for his turn. There was no queue. I was trying to get some clarity on the meal-options and possible combinations when the cashier (black) asked me to stand aside and let others buy as it seemed I was undecided on what I wanted.

The other people (which re-ally were just one person) seemed rather in a hurry according to her. I turned to check who she was refer-ring to and saw the white man.

I of course refused to stand aside,

insisting it was my turn to buy. I was not undecided; I had en-quiries which were important and as ur-gent to me.

Aft er paying, I point-ed to her the inherent racism, in which case I could have said sexism or classism as all three applied, in how she treated me.

It gets to a point where one gets tired of pointing out the prejudice, but cannot look away because it is always there. I recently read an ar-ticle on everydayfeminism.com in which the writer (Toni Bell) identi-fi es the problem as bigotry — nega-tive perceptions assigned to people due to certain aspects (physical) of

their being. According to Bell — a writer and

a documentary fi lm researcher — the problem is not that one is black, a woman or has whatever identity on the margins of mainstream cap-italist society (my interpretation). As she states:

“The problem [is] negative per-ceptions of [one’s identity] and what spaces that [identity is] “al-lowed” to occupy. There is noth-ing wrong or marginal with being

black, a woman, ho-mosexual and so on. The problem is with the people who see it so and react accord-ingly.

In the article, Bell of course focuses on the

othering of black/non-white people, but I fi nd it impor-tant to point to all kinds of oppres-sion. I have come to take issue with the idea of black men and black women standing together against racial prejudice, as we seem to have diff erent aims.

I initially wanted to point to social privilege as the big and oft en un-dermined challenge we face today. In the case above, it was of course not the white man’s fault that the

cashier found him more important than me. For all I remember, the white man stood in wonder as we had our litt le discussion in a lan-guage he probably did not under-stand while looking at him.

The repercussions of oppression (racism, sexism, etc) have black-ness seen as second/less impor-tant/subjective to whiteness. And maybe this might never be com-pletely undone. I know it makes a diff erence when individuals stand to challenge the perceptions.

I also know it takes some mon-strous level of ‘good heartedness’ for one to reject privilege in the name of fairness/goodness.

I also know there are people from all walks of life who work to dis-mantle the perceptions.

Mishandeling

Die oggend ná die vorige aand...

Wolwe en LusteEs ki mo’s het ‘n baie interes-sante metode om wolwe dood te maak, sodat hulle die velle vir klere kan gebruik om hul teen die koue te beskerm.

Hulle neem ’n lang, skerp, mes en bedek dit met bloed. As die bloed gevries is, doop hulle die lem weer in bloed. Hulle herhaal die proses totdat die skerp lem met ’n dik laag bloed bedek is. Dan druk hulle die mes se hef stewig in die grond vas, sodat die bloedbe-dekte lem na boontoe wys.

’n Honger wolf ruik die bloed en volg die bloedreuk vol be-geerte, tot dat hy by die bloed-bedekte mes uitkom.

Die wolf begin aan die bevrore bloed lek en die smaak op sy tong maak dat hy vinniger lek. Gretig begin die wolf al harder en harder aan die lem lek.

Sy drang na bloed word so groot dat hy nie agterkom dat die vlymskerp mes besig is om sy eie tong oop te kloof nie. Nog min-der kom hy agter dat sy onversa-digbare dors na bloed deur sy eie

bloed bevredig word. Hy smag net na meer en meer totdat hy homself uiteindelik doodbloei.

Die Bybel waarsku ons dat ons, nes die wolwe deur ons eie luste verteer word. Dit is ’n selfvernietigende weg om on-beheersd aan die luste van ons sondige natuur toe te gee. Hoe meer ons dit doen hoe meer vernietig dit ons.

Ons het die inwonende Hei-lige Gees se krag in ons nodig om sonde se aanspraak op ons te weer staan.

Die beste tyd om teen sonde te stry, is om aan die begin van ’n versoeking ’n mens se toe-vlug tot die Here Jesus te neem. Markus14:38 sê: “’n Mens wil in jou hart graag teen die versoeking veg, maar die menslike geaardheid het nie die krag om dit te doen nie.”

Jakobus 4:7 het die beste raad teen die luste en versoekings. Hy beveel aan om naby Christus te lewe en jou krag in Hom te soek. Hy wat ons so goed ken en volgens Hebreërs 4:15 aan al die versoekings onderwerp is, nes ons, vir ons ’n Hel per in ons stryd teen versoekings.

Oor homeopatieVerum Scientifi cus skryf per e-pos: Ek het dr Erica Coertzen se reak-sie op Vlieg se rubrieke aangaande homeopatie met be-langstelling (en kopskuddende verbasing) gelees. Dit getuig van ‘n gebrek aan insig van hoe weten-skap in die 21ste eeu funksioneer, soos bv haar verwysing na ‘n Swit-serse regeringstudie oor homeopa-tie wat in boekvorm gepubliseer is.

Enige persoon wat vaagweg be-wus is van hoe wetenskaplike be-vindings aan die wêreld bekend-gestel word, sal weet dat omtrent die laaste geloofwaardige bevind-ing wat dmv ‘n boek bekendgestel is, Charles Darwin se verhandeling oor ewolusie in ‘On the Origins of Species’ was, en dit was in 1859. Sedertdien is die weg van bekend-stelling eweknie-geëvalueerde ar-tikels in wetenskaplike tydskrift e met aansien, waarvan die tydskrif Nature waarskynlik die toon-aangewendste is.

‘n Sprekende voorbeeld is Wat-son en Crick se artikel wat in 1953 in genoemde tydskrif verskyn het, getiteld ‘Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids – A Structure of De-

oxcyribose Nucleic Acid’. Dis ‘n wonderlike artikel van slegs een fo-lio-bladsy lank (htt p://www.nature.com/nature/dna50/watsoncrick.pdf) wat die struktuur van DNA beskryf en ‘n rewolusie in ons begrip van hoe organismes op molekulêre vlak funksioneer, en hoe genetiese oorerwing bewerkstellig word, tot gevolg gehad het. Geen groot om-haal van woorde (‘n boek!), maar eenvoudig in sy kompleksiteit.

Dr Coetzen raai Vlieg tereg aan om na die studies oor homeopatie te gaan kyk en ek wil graag die-selfde doen. In 2009 moes die Britse Parlement ‘n ondersoek deur hulle Wetenskap en Tegnologie Komitee laat doen om te besluit of dit ge-regverdig is om belastingbetalers se geld te gebruik om deur die Na-sionale Gesondheid Diens (NHS) te betaal vir homeopatie. Almal het ‘n geleentheid gehad om insett e te lewer, insluitend die Britse Ho-meopatie Vereniging. Die volledige verslag is hier beskikbaar (nee, dis nie maar net ‘n Google-soektog nie!): htt p://www.publicati ons.parlia-

ment.uk/pa/cm200910/cm-select/cmsctech/45/45.pdf. Dis taamlik verdoemend teenoor homeopatie, maar die grootste ironie is dat die mees verdoemende

getuienis voor die komitee deur die Homeopatie Vereniging self gele-wer is. Hulle kon bv nie sê hoeveel sukkussie (‘succussion’) nodig is in die bereiding van homeopatiese middels nie – die navorsing hieroor was na 200 jaar glo nog aangaande.

Maar dalk benodig dr Coertzen meer onlangse navorsing. Ek is seker sy is vertroud met die be-grippe meta-analise en sistema-tiese hersiening. Dis nog verder ironies dat op dieselfde dag dat haar skrywe in Bulletin verskyn het daar juis in die dagblad Beeld melding gemaak is van so ‘n meta-analise en sistematiese hersiening-studie deur die National Health and Medical Research Council van Australië (htt ps://www.nhmrc.gov.au/health-topics/complementary-medicines/homeopathy-review) wat so pas verskyn het. Die studie het ‘n meta-analise van 1800 gepub-liseerde artikels gedoen asook 52 sistematiese

Kindermishandeling sluit psi-giese sowel as fi siese skade en seksuele misbruik in.

Psigiese skade veroorsaak deur onder meer vernedering, onbil-like eise wat aan die kind gestel word, om die kind bang te maak of te terroriseer en om geen of min liefde en veiligheid aan die kind te bied.

Mishandeling sluit verwaarlo-sing in en gebeur nie per onge-luk nie, maar word met opset gepleeg.

Volgens die Grondwet (Art 28 van hfst 2) het die kind die reg: om teen mishandeling, verwaar-losing, misbruik of vernedering beskerm te word. * Wat veroorsaak kindermishan-deling?

Verskillende sake moet hier in gedagte gehou word. Hierdie is ook net ‘n riglyn en die genoemde sake veroorsaak nie noodwendig mishandeling nie. Omgewing- en gesinsfaktore soos huwelik-

sprobleme, armoede, werkloos-heid en drank of dwelmmisbruik kan ‘n rol speel.• Die ouer is self as kind mishan-del.• Onrealistiese verwagtings word van die kind gekoester, om-dat die ouer nie die kind se ver-moëns en ontwikkelingstadium ken nie.• Die ouer kan ook aan depres-sie ly, ‘n swak selfb eeld hê, ander wantrou of vyandiggesind wees.• Die kleiner kind of die kind wat anders is, soos diegene met ‘n gebrek of dalk die eenkantkind is moontlik makliker om te mis-handel.

Gevolge: Lae selfb eeld, leer-probleme, agressiwiteit en ver-houdingsprobleme, depressie en angstigheid kan moontlike gevolge van mishandeling wees.

Kindermishandeling kan onder meer aangemeld word by Child line: 08000 55 556 of by ‘n maat-skaplike werker. • Vervolg op bl 10


Mr Craig Woodward from Tza-neen, known as DJ Craig (who’s clocked almost 700 DJ events in his life) took his staff er, Mr Stranger Rabutla, home to Lenyenye towards the end of last year. Rabutla’s 12-year-old son Freddie and a friend were shar-ing a dilapidated bicycle with no brakes, no pedals and grass in-side the tyres for tubes. Thus the project ‘Bikes for Smiles’ began.

A second hand bicycle came from within the Tzaneen commu-nity. Woodward had it fi xed and he and his wife Angie went and surprised a very excited Freddie with the bicycle.

Freddie wanted to take part in the Mooketsi mountain bike race

two weeks later. Wood-ward sponsored him and in this, his fi rst race, Fred-die came second out of fi f-ty participants!

Then whilst in Lenyenye, Woodward noticed that the litt le sister, Queenie, also had a dilapidated bi-cycle. This time Ms Lallie Williams and her husband Andrew from Agatha donated a few bicycles. Queenie got the pink Bar-bie bicycle and another bicycle went to the grand-daughter of Woodward’s domestic worker.

Woodward says that one of the nuns at the Catholic

Church asked for a bicycle for a 12-year-old girl who’s had a foot operation and walks fi ve kilometres to school. This bicycle was donated by local Mr Edmar van der Merwe.

Woodward said that Boulevard Cycles has been fantastic in fi x-ing the bicycles and as part of their community deal they’re not charging for labour. Mr Ant Bak-er and his wife Stephanie from Tzaneen are also involved, with Mr Baker powder coating the bi-cycles.

Woodward can do general bi-cycle repairs but new tyres and brakes have to be purchased.

Bicycles, in good or bad condi-tion, can be donated to the Bikes for Smiles project and Wood-

ward will either fi x them or send them to be repaired to put a smile on the faces of needy children.

Dinsdag is Maatskaplikewerkdag wêreldwyd gevier. In Tzaneen, waar die SA Vrouefederasie met hul maatskaplike werkers ‘n groot en belangrike rol in die gemeenskap speel, is die internasionale viering ook gedenk.

Die SAVF Tzaneen het hulde gebring aan hul twee maatskaplike werkers, Dr Greta Bekker en me Monique van der Merwe, vir die afgelope jaar se dienste.

“Dankie vir die uithou, bemoediging, planne maak en diensbaar wees ten spyte van omstandighede wat nie altyd motiverend en luuks is nie. Dankie vir die kere wat julle iemand ‘n tweede kans gegee het; geduldig was met ‘n donateur of die amptenaar van die departement; dankie dat julle die waarde van vrywilligerskap besef en deel het aan die ontwikkeling daarvan”, is deur die diensbestuur van die SAVF in Tzaneen in ‘n spesiale boodskap vervat en aan hulle opgedra.

”Being a Social Worker means:You will never be boredYou will always be frustratedYou will be surrounded by challengesSo much to do and so little time.You will carry immense responsibilityAnd very little authority.You will step into people’s livesAnd you will make a di� erence.Some will bless you, Some will curse youYou will see people at their worst and their best.

You will cry a lotYou will laugh a lot.You will know what it is to be humanAnd to be humane.”

Voorts het die diensbestuur ook gesê “mag die wete dat u ‘n verskil maak in die lewe van ‘n weerlose kind, ouer of bejaarde dit vir u die moeite werd maak”.

“We pray that the year ahead will be blessed with good health and fortune to create opportunities to those who need it desperately.

“Namens die 1,7 miljoen mense wat die SAVF landwyd bereik, sê ons dankie aan elke maatskaplike werker, maatskaplike hulpwerker, kantoor personeel, kollegas, vrywilligers, donateurs en ondersteuners vir volgehoue steun,” lui die diensbestuur se boodskap.

They concluded by quoting ex-Minister Kader Asmal who once said: “If the constitution is the head of a country, Welfare is the heart of a country”.

SAVF vier ook wêrelddag

Five Plasies att ended the Limpopo Arts Festival themed, “be colourful, be creative, be yourself” in Polokwane. The festival celebrated its 40th birth-day this year, and is organised by the Grahamstown Foundation. De Beers Diamond Mining, who also present the well known annual English Olympiad, is

the sponsor of this event in all nine provinces.

Two jam-packed days of superb shows, creative workshops, scrump-tious meals and rubbing shoulders with other Gr 11 pupils from seven schools in Limpopo, ensured that they had the time of their lives. Apart from watching professional shows, pupils had plenty opportu-nity to explore their own creative abilities in the nine workshops on of-fer. “Build your story” assisted them in the writing process; “Vuka Vuka” woke their bodies and minds up to physical storytelling; “Wow-wow-wow”, a vocal workshop, taught about harmonies, melodies and free-styles, while “Rhythm and Dance” proved to be an explosive and dy-namic workshop where learners cre-ated and interpreted movement with accompanying music.

On the last day, schools had the opportunity to pre-sent a one act play. Merensky’s “Creativity Rocks” re-ceived the “most creative concept” award.

A call goes out to all Gr 11’s of 2016 — don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity!

Seen here are Simone Pretorius, Klarissa Nel, Ntsakie Nyathi, Ju-Nell Verster and JP Nel who attended the festival.

Merensky hosts � rst chess tournament... Chess masters from three schools in the Tzaneen area met for the � rst chess tournament of the year this past Saturday. High School DZJ was crowned victorious with Merensky High School runner up, and Ben Vorster High School in third place. Plasie brainiacs Boikoketso Rameetse and Given Ilevo managed to win

all their matches.

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se nuwe beheerraad is verlede gekies. Mnr Piet Smit is die voorsitter, mnr Cobie Kemp is die ondervoorsitter en me Suzette de la Rey is die sekretaresse. Hierby is die foto’s van die beheer-raadslede. Drie leerlinge dien as ge-

koöpteerde lede in die raad.

SA Mathematics Olympiad... Several brainy pupils from Merensky High School once again participated in the � rst round of the 2015 SA Mathematics Olympiad. This olympiad is organised by the SA Mathematics Foundation. Several students from both the junior and senior grades quali� ed for the next round due to take place in May. In the photo are, at the back, Kulani Mathye, Cassius Machimana and Stefan Corbett. In the middle row are Xander Botha, Belinda Nzadi and Andrea De-

venish and in front are Anri McLean and Carmi Venter. Absent: Kyle Baatjies.

Die skoolronde van vanjaar se ATKV-redenaarskom-petisie is die afgelope twee weke by die Hoërskool Me-rensky beslis. Afrikaanse idiome soos As die klou uits-teek is die leeu daaragter, Volstruispolitiek en Met jou hoed in die hand kom jy deur die hele land as temas het gesorg vir verskeie insiggewende, vermaaklike en goed beredeneerde toesprake.

In die kategorie Afrikaans huistaal (juniors) het die volgende sprekers na die volgende ronde deur-gedring (op 25 Maart by Curro Heuwelkruin): In die kategorie vir onvoorbereide toesprake sal Shani Rosslee, Stefan Corbett, Kesia Pohl, Mia Naude en Reinette Jacobs (almal gr 8-leerlinge) die skool ver-teenwoordig en in die kategorie vir voorbereide toe-sprake sal Doran Kleynhans en Diané Dent (grd 8) en

Heinrich van Zyl (gr 9) die woord voer. In die kategorie Afrikaans huistaal (seniors) gaan

Janke Jansen van Vuuren, Mynhardt Bouwer, Bianca Spies, Cara Mia Baker en Marlu McLean aan die on-voorbereide been van die kompetisie deelneem, terwyl Deandra Möller, Loamé van Zyl en Ruurd Jacobs hul sê in die kategorie vir voorbereide toesprake sal sê.

Die redenaars wat deurdring na die volgende ronde in die kategorie Afrikaans addisionele taal is Michelle Stevens en Blake Linder (seniors) en Danzi Ivy en Rose Khosa (juniors).

Die beoordelaars vir die onderskeie kompetisies was, mee Hannelie Schoonraad, Martie Reynolds, Mariana du Toit en Annaline van Vreden en mnr Francois Aucamp.

Every Friday at Hoërskool Ben Vorster, “Gysie” the silver spade is awarded to the Vossie newsmaker of the week — positive or negative. Last week, Gysie was awarded to Fairness Twala (Gr 12). Fairness created the Doc Shebeleza beats for hip hop artist Casper Nyovest. The song won the most requested song by listeners and the song of the year award at the Metro FM-music awards which were broadcast on national TV. The Vossies are all very proud of Fairness. Seen

at the handing over were Tiaan Vorster, Fairness and Henk Blignaut.

Vossies are playing chess… Ben Vorster High School has a new and active chess club. These pupils played a friendly tournament against Merensky High School and DZJ High School. The Vossies won 5 of the 26 games and ended third in the tournament. During the tournament the Vossie players were taught some valuable lessons in chess from the players of DZJ and their two coaches. Metse Lebepe and Jade Greyvenstein (right) were trapped by the camera, whilst other pupils were watching closely as the two tried to outsmart each other.

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se gr 12’s en gr 9’s het die voorreg geniet om inligting te ontvang by 28 uitstallers oor moontlike beroepe en instansies waar hulle verder kan studeer. Veral die gr 12’s het daarby gebaat om ingeligte keuses oor hul toekoms te maak. Die gr 9’s kon hulself vergewis van die vele opsies vir verdere studies, veral met die oog op hul vakkeuses later in die jaar.

Plasies shine at President’s AwardFour Merensky High School’s pupils att ended the Limpopo Bronze and Silver Award ceremony of The President’s Award for Youth Empower-ment. The auspicious function was att ended by nine schools in Limpopo, and was held at The Kings Court Christian School in Modjadjiskloof.

Merensky initiated the pro-gramme under the leader-

ship of Ms Willemien van Niekerk, towards the end of 2013. To date more than sixty Plasie pupils have enrolled for the programme and so far thirty have received the silver or bronze awards.

At the function Gr 12 pupil Andrea Devenish

was one of the four award winners that gave testimonials about the importance of this pro-gramme in their lives. “Personally I have felt my character develop, becoming more self-con-fi dent and outgoing as I have progressed from bronze to silver and now gold. I believe this is a journey more than a destination, and although gold is the fi nal level in the President’s Award, I do not view this as the end of my journey of personal development,” Andrea concluded.

Merensky pupils who received awards at the ceremony were Nwanaga Mboveni (bronze), Michelle Stevens (bronze), Jenna Devenish (bronze) and Andrea Devenish (silver and bronze). Ms Willemien van Niekerk received the award for the “most effi cient and eff ective award leader in the President’s Award pro-gramme for youth empowerment in 2015”.

The award winners: Jenna Devenish (bronze), Palesa Matuludi (Presi-dent Award programme manager), Andrea Devenish (silver and

bronze), Nwanaga Mboveni (bronze) and Michelle Stevens (bronze).

Homeopatie• Vervolg van bl 6hersienings. Die bevindings was dieselfde as die Britse Parlement s’n: Daar is geen betrou-bare bewys dat homeopatie eff ektief is in die behandeling van enige mediese toestand nie.

Werk homeopatie vir sommige mense? Ek is oortuig daarvan, maar nie op die basis van be-wysgedrewendheid (‘evidence based’) nie — glo in dit wat jy nie kan sien nie is immers geloof. Of bygeloof, afh angend vanuit watt er hoek jy daarna kyk.

Limpopo needs you!Derick Mosoana, DA Youth Provincial Chairperson-elect, writes: The province Lim-popo is in a process of decay with skyrocket-ing fi gures of coruption, institutionalised mal-administration, human traffi cking and many other chronic incidents that has brought the progress of Africa’s Eden into paralysis.

Which is why we the DA Youth calls to all academics, business people, spiritual leaders, politicians and ordinary people who have mi-grated to various provinces in a search for a bet-ter life to return home to rebuild the province.With most municipalities and all government departments struggling to cope, police person-nel dismally failing to crack a whip on crime and its activities and top offi cials failing to develop job creating strategies it is only fair that sons and daughters return to give their services in saving the province.

The DA Youth will develop a list of top politi-cians, academics and possible leaders who are by origin Limpopians but by practice placed in various provinces and approach them indi-vidually on what can they do and where can they volunteer to reconstruct Limpopo. The Structure is proud of Limpopo mothers for they fearlessly gave birth to worriers and who contributes immensely to the development of a bett er society.

Saad op vrugbare grond...Waterboer skryf per e-pos: Suiwer korpora-tiewe bestuursbeginsels word nie aangebore nie, dit word ingedril. In Suid-Afrika van 2015 is dit so skaars soos hoendertanne, al is een van die wêreld se grootste guru’s op die ge-bied, regter Mervin King, ‘n Suid-Afrikaner.

Sy King III-riglyne vir goeie korporatiewe bestuur geld dwarsoor die wêreld as een van die standaardwerke oor die onderwerp, en is ewe geldig vir direksies van gelysde maat-skappye, lede van BK’s, kerkrade, skole, en die

teeklub by die werk.As daar korrupsie, selfverryking,

bevoordeling van familie en vriende, en swak fi nansiële- en bestuursverslae op die hoogste vlak in ‘n gemeenskap

aan die orde van die dag is, kan mens verwag dat dit op provinsiale en selfs dorpsvlak ook broekskeur sal gaan. Ons dorp is natuurlik nie n uitsondering nie, en al Tzaneen se inwoners, oud en jonk, betaal die prys.

Dit gaan nie net oor korrupsie in die staats-diens en die munisipaliteit nie. Dit gaan we-sentlik ook oor wanpraktyke in die kerke, skole en sakeklubs. Dit gaan oor hoe boere mekaar inloop op waterrade, hoe maatjies kontrakte kry om die skou se besigheid te skep, en hoe die laerskoolspannetjies saamgestel word. Dit is waar die saad vir more se wanbestuur op die hoogste vlakke vandag al in klein dorpies ontkiem.

Om een of ander duistere rede glo bestuur-ders dat hulle onetiese gedrag onsigbaar is, en dat mense in die dorp dit nie raaksien, en nie daaroor praat nie. Hulle word so bedwelm in die selfregverdiging van growwe wanbestuur, dat hulle dink die res van die gemeenskap sal dit gelate aanvaar. Hulle dink selde aan die implikasies vir die toekoms, aan die groter welstand van die gemeenskap of aan die grap-pies wat agter hande oor hulle gemaak word, solank hulle in die onmiddellike n kortston-dige voordeel daaruit kan put.

Dan gebeur dit dat n laerskoolkind vyfde kom in die redenaarskompetisie omdat die juff rou, beoordelaar en beheerliggaamlid se kinders die eerste vier plekke beklee, maar ee-rste kom in die distrik en in Limpopo. Of dat die seuntjie wat nooit speelkans kry nie, om-dat die meneer, die afrigter en beheerraadslede se kinders die span volmaak, meteens ‘n ster word as hy hoërskool toe gaan. Tzaneen het ‘n reputasie daarvoor.

Dit is wat veroorsaak dat boere skinner en kla dat daar fout is by die besproeiingsraad, en dat hulle bestuurslede daarvan verdink dat hulle persoonlike voordeel trek uit swak aangekon-digde jaarvergaderings, gebrekkige terugvoer, die afwesigheid van bestuursverslae en fi nan-siële rekords, en ondeursigtige verhandeling van waterregte. Meer nog, ons raak so ongevoe-lig daarvoor, dat besture wat daaroor gekon-fronteer word, ewe ongeërg sal antwoord dat dit niks met die gemeenskap te doen het nie, of dat watergebruikers wat navrae het, maar die wet moet gebruik om inligting uit die bestuur uit te pers. Dan het hulle verder die vermetel-heid om watertariewe te verhoog, want sulke hofsake sal hulle nie uit eie sak baklei nie...

En Saterdagaand om die braaivleisvure vloek hulle die korrupte regering met sy baantjies-vir-boeties mentaliteit, wat net na die sakke van sy eie amptenare omsien.

A woman is fi ghting for her life in hospi-tal aft er she was pelted with bricks in Sek-gosese outside Modjadjiskloof recently.

The hair-raising att ack was captured in a video that has since gone viral. The woman is seen lying on the ground while commu-nity members take turns stoning her. She’s beaten continuously with sticks. The com-munity members are shouting in Sepedi, “She’s not dead, she’s not dead, kill her.”

The att ack was allegedly triggered by the death of another woman at Ga-Ramphahl-elo Village in the Sekgosese area, believed to have been poisoned while drinking tra-ditional brew. Community members alleg-edly accused the beaten woman, from the neighbouring Rietfontein Village, of poi-soning the deceased. The woman was alleg-

Woman gruesomely beatenedly seen sharing the brew with the deceased earlier on.

The deceased’s family allegedly led the at-tack to avenge for their loved one. Commu-nity members who spoke to Bulletin say she was fi rst paraded in the streets of the vil-lage before being dragged to the deceased’s homestead, where the beating took place.

The local Police spokesperson, Warrant Offi cer Mphalelwa Mashao, says the Police were informed about the att ack. They found the woman lying on the ground, naked. She was rushed to hospital.

According to Mashao, five community members, believed to be the deceased’s relatives, have been arrested so far. They were granted R500 bail each after appear-ing in court.

“We are now waiting for the post-mortem results to reveal what killed the allegedly poisoned woman,” he told Bulletin.

According to one community member who refused to be named, the beaten woman was suspected of poisoning the deceased because they once had an argument over a man. “It was just too suspicious that on the day she died, they had been seen drinking together,” said the community member.

It’s time for the annual Tzaneen Eisteddfod. The Eisteddfod is a platform to promote cultural and art activities among all our school going children.

The eisteddfod is a non-pro� t organisation organized by volunteers from the community. Judging is done by professional judges with extensive experience to promote high standards. At the end of the year, a number of � oating trophies and bursaries will be awarded during the gala evening.

Budding actors and actresses from Gr 00 to Gr 12 are invited to take part in this popular event. In 2014, 700 entries were received from 500 participants in the English division. In the Afrikaans division more than 550 pupils delivered

840 items. The English Division will

be staged from 4 to 8 May at Merensky High School. Entry forms have already been sent to schools on our mailing list.

Our judge this year is me Anriette van Rooyen. Please send your name and email address to gretha.cra� [email protected] if you would like to receive a form and a copy of the syllabus. Entry forms will also be available from Hairobix in Boundary Street, Tzaneen. Closing date for entries is 30 March. Contact person: Gretha Cra� ord on 079 490 6818.

The Music Division will commence on 21 July and end on 24 July. To promote fair judging, only pupils from Gr 00 to Gr 12 will be allowed to enter this year.

Only the choir section will be open for all ages.

Die Afrikaanse been van die eisteddfod sal vanjaar van 10 tot 15 Augustus gehou word. Die Hoërskool Merensky is weer die gasheer. Die beoordelaar vir vanjaar is me Louise Lachenicth. Kontakpersoon: Melaine Botha by 083 2900 737 of stuur ‘n epos na [email protected]

Die kunsafdeling sal van 1 tot 5 September aangebied word. Verdere inligting hieroor sal nader aan die tyd verskaf word. Die dansafdeling sal nie vanjaar aangebied word nie, maar wel weer volgende jaar.

Alle algemene navrae kan aan me Melaine Botha gerig word, by 083 2900 737; of stuur ‘n epos na [email protected].

Mukhanyo Distance in Tzaneen will be presenting an interesting module in New Testament studies in the coming weeks.

In this module the following topics will be studied: how God revealed Himself in the Bible, the human authors of the Bible, what happened to the original Bible, which books were taken to be part of the Bible and the truth of Jesus in the original Gospels. Students will be introduced to textual criticism and the authority of the Bible will be discussed.

The module is part of the Mukhanyo Distance diploma course in theology, but students are welcome to enroll for a single module. All students who � nish the module will receive a certi� cate of attendance.

Mukhanyo Distance has more than 200 distance students in di� erent countries in southern Africa. Mukhanyo Distance enables students to receive relevant, high quality, holistic, a� ordable in-

service distance training in theology. It provides biblically based training opportunities and facilities to church leaders for church and community development in Africa. The course also develops church leadership and administrative skills in order to inspire kingdom vision and to support the growth and development of churches. An important aspect is to equip leaders, o� ce bearers and members of churches to correctly understand and apply the Bible in their own environment.

The New Testament classes start on Friday 11 April 2015. New students are welcome to join. Classes are presented every Friday afternoon at 14:00 at the Gereformeerde Kerk Laeveld in Claude Wheatley Street, Tzaneen (Reformed Church opposite HiQ and the FET College).

Please contact dr Edmund de Beer (083 3911 065) for more information. The cost per module is only R200. A number of bursaries is available.

New Testament studied

The illegal trading by hawkers on the R71 outside Tzaneen might soon come to an end. The commanding assurance was made by the provincial department of roads and trans-port and supported by the Greater Tzaneen Municipality.

Bulletin again made inquiries about hawkers arrogantly trading right next to signs that prohibit them from doing so. According to the department’s spokesperson, Ms Kag-iso Mootane, the problem with hawkers was only recently realised. An urgent plan of action has been forwarded to the Mopani traffi c manager, Mr Mthembi.

“We were not aware that signs were there to prohibit any illegal trading, but we assure that action will be taken, as an urgent inquiry has been sent to the chief of staff and the Mopani traffi c manager,” Mootane told us.

Meanwhile, the GTM has claimed that the R71 is now

under its jurisdiction, aft er having previously denied re-sponsibility of the route.

According to GTM spokesperson Neville Ndlala, the GTM has jurisdiction to execute speed law enforcement as well as general policing.

“There are discussions with regard to a certain hawker doing business on the road; it is a legal issue as the indi-vidual was given a permit which was signed by one of our former municipal managers,” he told Bulletin.

The matt er, as Ndlala explained, needs to be approached with caution to avoid loopholes. In the meantime, Ndlala promised that traffi c offi cials will continue to monitor the hawkers’ situation in the area..

R71’s hawkers’ days are numbered

Letsitele library hosted a Valentine’s day competition in February and the winners were announced later on. Letsitele BuildIt and Letsitele Spar sponsored the prizes for the winners, seen here with Ms Ouma Kheswa, the librarian at Letsitele. With her are Ndzalo Machimana and Vumbiwa Mashele, both pupils from Gravelotte Primary School.

A well-established panel beating shop that reigned in Tzaneen for nearly fi ve decades is taken over by new management with enthusiastic plans to enlarge the business exten-sively within the next few months.

H-Eff ect Multi Workshop & Panel Beaters are the new own-ers of Van Vreden’s Panel Beat-ers at 11 Plantation Road in the old industrial area. Whereas the previous owner only practiced body works and spray-paint-ing, the new group will expand these services to include a multi workshop handling highly pro-fessional mechanical and auto electrical services as well.

The company is in the fi nal stages of gett ing factory approval from Nissan (who is doing a re-audit due to the takeover) and most other vehicle manufacturers and compo-nent dealers for the panel beating division, while an impressive list of brand new equipment will fi ll the revamped building. The manufac-turer approvals are not applicable to the rest of the workshop.

The owner, Mr Hennie van Rooy-

en, and his manager, Mr Hannes Craemer, (both from Secunda) aim to set the pace with the latest tech-nology and will keep the staff up to date through training from the man-ufacturers.

With the restructuring all the staff of Van Vreden’s were taken in and they also added a number of new trained personnel. On hand train-ing for general workers is regularly performed by diff erent suppliers, for up to date trends and changing techniques in the trade.

The new company off ers a variety of additional services, like free com-puterized quotations on request, a

24-hour towing service, courtesy ve-hicles, rubberizing on site, number plates, the re-gas of air-conditioning and digital assessments.

Completed jobs carry a three year workmanship warrantee, spares

one year as per manufacturer guarantee and life time on paint-work. All paint work will be wa-ter-based as prescribed by vehi-cle manufacturers.

Apart from extensive renova-tions to the workshop, the pref-ace of the building will also take a new shape and colour. The reception staff members will ap-ply their advanced experience to keep customers satisfi ed.

Also coming is a fi eld ser-vice for tractors, forklift s and oth-er equipment which will be done wherever the customer requires. The management expect this service to be in full operation within a few months time.

Owner Van Rooyen added: “We are looking forward in doing busi-ness on a permanent basis and hope to become one of your preferred auto body repairers.”

Die afgelope Saterdag het die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se rug-byspanne die lang pad Pretoria toe aangepak, vir wedstryde teen die Hoërskool Montana. Dit het besonder goed gegaan, met slegs een span wat verloor het.

Die o.14A-span was eerste aan die beurt. Hulle het aanvank-lik gesukkel om aan die gang te kom en was halft yd 3-0 agter. In die tweede helft e het hulle hul voete gevind en uiteindelik met 26-3 gewen. Die o.14B’s het 17-5 verloor.

Die o.15 A’s was in ‘n spannende wedstryd nog kort voor die einde 17-10 agter, maar ‘n verdoelde drie het die eindtelling 17 elk

gemaak. Die o.15B’s het ook gelykop gespeel, met twaalf punte elk.

Albei o.16-spanne was hope-loos te sterk vir hul opponente. Die A-span het Montana oor-rompel en 53-0 gewen, terwyl die B-span met 59-5 koning gekraai het.

Die derde span was baas in ‘n spannende wedstryd, met 14-12. Die Nyathi’s het weer baie

ondernemende rugby gespeel, om met 39-5 te wen.

Die eerste span se wedstryd was ‘n taai aff êre met albei spanne wat met tye puik rugby gespeel het. Montana het vroeg die voortou geneem, met twee drieë — maar die Vossies het teruggeveg met drieë deur slot Thapelo Molapo, vleuel Shima Mphalele, losska-kel Danny Mokhobane en fl ank JJ Anker, om kort voor die einde in die naelbytstryd met 30-29 voor te loop. Losskakel Mokhobane het egter seker gemaak van die wen, deur net voor die eindfl ui-tjie geblaas het deur te gaan vir sy tweede drie en sodoende die Vossies met 35-29 te laat wen.

Môre speel die Vossies in Tha-bazimbi teen Frikkie Meyer.

Punte! Ruben Koekemoer van die Nyatis’ druk ‘n mooi drie in die

wedstryd teen Montana.

The second rounds of the Sum-mer “Barefoot in the Park” business league was played at the Duiwels-kloof Bowling Club from 12 Febru-ary to 12 March. The competition at-tracted eight teams in total and aft er week 3, the league was split into two categories: Open (top 4) and Plate (bott om 4).

The Open teams retained their points to date, while the Plate teams restarted from scratch.

In the Open section, congratulations go to the ZZ2 men’s team who played the fi ft h week against last year’s win-

ners, the Red Devils, and despite the Devils winning this last closely con-tested game, the ZZ2 men’s team won the tournament overall.

In the Plate section, congratulations go to Trophy Motors’ team, who had a narrow encounter against the Vry-staat team! Both teams ended on 16 points, but the aggregate shot diff er-ence between the two teams was 12 versus 8 shots!

The players and club members en-joyed great fun, food and the are looking forward to the next league later this year!

niels (Mogol) sake uitgespook.

Mfumo Mongwe, a Gr 10 pupil from Stanford Lake College, qualified during the Lim-popo Athletics championships to participate in the SA’s from 26 to 29 March (in Rusten-burg). Although Mfumo is u.16, he qualified at u.17 level for the 200 m.

Three of the Merensky’s archers took part in the Free State Field Archery compe-tition in Bloemfontein over the past weekend. The arch-ers struggled with a strong wind but still did very well. Ruan Genis (photo) and Pie-ter van der Merwe were re-spectively first and second in the junior male bowhunt-er unlimited category and their team mate, Beneche Jackson, was second in her section (junior female free-

style unlimited).

These young swimmers from Unicorn Preparatory School recently rep-resented Limpopo at an interprovincial gala and did their school proud. In front are Keira Booth (one silver and two bronze medals) and Luca Wasley (one gold, one silver and one bronze medal). Behind them are Talent Ndzadzibaya (four silver medals), Kristen Klinkert (one bronze

medal) and Jack Stewart (one gold and two bronze medals).

Two athletes of Unicorn Prepara-tory School, Makoma Pilusa and Kian None, have made the Limpopo athlet-ics team and will take part in the SA’s

in Germiston on March 20 and 21.

Two qualified... Jack Baloyi (left) from Dr Annecke Primary School in Letsitele achieved first place in the 100 m and 150 m sprints at the Limpopo Athletics champi-onships. He has thus qualified to compete at the SA Championships in Gauteng on 20 and 21 March. Nkateko Phakula also won a gold medal in the hurdles, but was not

included in the Limpopo team.

A great ‘Mile’ expected

Die netbalspanne van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het die afgelope Saterdag goed teen die Hoërskool Montana in Pretoria gespeel en sewe spanne het gewen, twee het verloor en een span het gelykop gespeel.

Die o.14A-span het hard gewerk vir ‘n oorwinning, maar moes uiteindelik tevrede wees met ‘n gelykop uitslag van 10 doele elk. Die o.15B’s het egter met 12-6 gewen.

Die o.15A’s het aanvanklik gesukkel en in ‘n stadium ‘n agterstand van ses doele gehad. Hulle het egter hard gewerk en uiteindelik gemaklik met 24-16 gewen. Die o.15B’s het ook danksy harde werk met 18-14 gewen.

Die o.16A-span was ongelukkig om 16-15 te verloor. Afronding by die doelhok het ontbreek. Die o.16B’s het ook gesukkel en met 16-7 verloor. Die o.17A’s het goeie netbal gespeel en van die begin af druk uitgeoefen. Hulle het met 22-14 geseëvier — en die o.17B’s het ook met harde spel met 9-5 gewen.

Die tweede span, wat uit junior meisies bestaan, het met 23-17 gewen. Die eerste span was in het ‘n titaniese stryd met Montana gewikkel. Die wedstryd was deurentyd baie gelykop, maar die Vossies het koelkop gebly, geleidelik die oorhand gekry en met 21-19 gewen.

Môre meet die netbalspanne kragte teen Frikkie Meyer in Thabazimbi.

Vossies klop Montana

Tomorrow will see the fourteenth Ebenhezer Mile, ably organised and presented by Rotary Haenertsburg. The organizers have evolved the management of this event into a professional and slick operation over the years — and now they will be using the latest timing methods.

If you have not att ended one of the ‘Miles’ before, here is the lowdown. There are some swimmers who are fi ercely competitive and super fi t for

this sport and participate in the national open water swimming circuit for their own personal achievements. They either swim the exclusive 3 000 m or the popular Mile (1 600 m) or both!

Then there are the large majority who come out and swim for the fun of it, choosing the Mile (if they’ve done a bit of training) or the easy 500 m ‘fun’ course. Kids of all ages can take part.

Come and see/swim for your-self tomorrow (Saturday 21 March).

Die Vossies se hokkiespanne het die afgelope Saterdag teen die Hoërskool Montana in Pretoria gespeel. Die Vossies het strawwe, harde wedstryde teen Montana beleef.

Die o.16A’s het aanvallende hokkie gespeel, maar kon net nie in die sirkel afrond nie. Hul wedstryd eindig gelykop met nul elk. Die o.15A-span het binne die eerste paar minute twee doele aangeteken. Montana het hul voete gevind en die halftydtelling was 2 elk, maar die Vossies het vasgebyt en wen die wedstryd met 4-3.

Die eerste meisiespan het hul wedstryd met 2-1 gewen, met Talenta Mabunda en Amu Thuketana wat die doele aangeteken het. Die o.14A-spannetjie het baie mooi samespel getoon, met Zané Botha, wat goeie hokkievaardighede getoon het. Hulle verloor hul wedstryd 1-0.

Die eerste seunspan het in ‘n vriendskaplike wedstryd teen Montana gespeel. Dit was ‘n ongeloo� ike aanskoulike wedstryd, met Hanco van der Merwe wat uitstekende vaardighede ten toon gestel het. Hy het ‘n baie mooi doel aangeteken en die span wen 5-1.

• Die uitslae was: o.14A: BV 0 – Montana 1; o.14B: BV 0 – Montana 4; o.15A: BV 4 – Montana 3; o.15B: BV 0 – Montana 1; o.16A: BV 0 – Montana 0; o.16B: BV 0 – Montana 0; Tweedes: BV 0 – Montana 5; Eerste span: BV 2 – Montana 1; eerste seuns (vriendskaplik): BV. 5 – Montana 1.

Die Vossies se skyfskietspan het die afgelope naweek aan ‘n skietkompetisie teen die volgende veertien hoërskole se skuts meegeding: Gimna-sium, Birchleigh, Brandwag, Elspark, Stofb erg, Eldoraigne, Garsfontein, Piet Potgieter, PHS, St Benedicts, Florida, Fochville, Zeerust en Brits.

Die kompetisie het ge-sorg vir goeie opwinding tydens die aanloop tot die SA proewe op 27 en 28 Maart by die Hoërskool Florida.

Die Vossie-skuts wat deelgeneem het, was Thinus Vermaak, Tiaan de Jager, Renaldo van Rensburg, Hano Sliep en Rugert Sch-nell. Thinus het heel goed gevaar met 508, 526, 337 = 1 371 (9de in die o.21-ou-derdomsgroep).

Renaldo was die ster by die o.16-groep en het goud ge-wen. Hy is ook vyfde in die algehele groep van 150 skuts

met die volgende tellings: 519, 542, 334 = 1 395.

Renaldo en Thinus is gekies om aan die SA proewe deel te neem (op 27 en 28 Maart).

Dit is ‘n mooi prestasie, want net veertig van die land se beste skuts word genooi.

Sharks en Chiefs kanrugby laat seëvierIn sport is wen soms ál wat saakmaak. Maar partykeer oorheers genot die belangrikheid van die uitslag.Die Wêreldbekerkrieket wat dié naweek in Australië en Nieu-Seeland gespeel word, is ŉ voorbeeld van wedstryde waarin niks belang-riker as die tellings is nie.Australië speel in Adelaide teen Pakistan en Nieu-Seeland in Wellington teen die Windies. Die wenspanne dring deur tot die halfeind-ronde; vir die verloorders is dit klaarpraat. In Durban, waar die Sharks en die Chiefs teen mekaar speel, kan die gehalte van die rugby die uitslag oorskadu. Die spanne is so te sê gebou vir hardloooprugby. Hul kragmeting kan een van die skouspelagtigstes van die jaar se Superrugby wees. Regstreekse uitsendings van die Cape Ep-ic-berg� etsry, Sesnasie-rugby, die 161ste kragmeting tussen Cambridge en Oxford se roeispanne en motor� etsrenne in Thailand is ŉ paar van die ander plesierighede wat dié naweek op TV-kykers wag.

Die gesanik en geween wat opgegaan het vanuit KwaZumaNatal na die Haaie se onlangse nederlaag teen die sukkelende Bulle noop Oubal vandag om die tyd ‘n week of twee terug te draai.

‘Tja, voor in die koor was natuurlik ArthurIngelsman wat hoogs emosioneel ontevrede was oor die “houm taun diesiesjin” wat sy geliefde Last Outpost gesink het. Na interne tug het ons gedink dis die einde van die saak, maar toe kom neef Christo Buchner met ‘n rubriek in die GAD* en gooi olie op ou Al se vuur.

Laat Oubal vanuit die staanspoor sê neef Christo is na Oubal se ervaring vir die Haaie wat oorlede Quintus van Rooyen destyds vir die BB was. Van Blouen het mos soos Stief Mofmeyer geglo elke rakbiespeler in Pretoria moet ‘n Bok wees. Ten gunste van neef Christo kan Oubal darem sê sy onderrok hang nie heeltemal só ver uit nie — Quintus het skaars ‘n bo-rok gedra!

Hoe dit ook al sy, neef Christo deel ou Al se mening dat dit ongehoord was dat drie van die wedstrydbeamptes aan die BB verbonde is en as sulks foutiewe beslissings in hul guns gemaak het, wat glo grens aan wedstrydknoeiery.

Wat neef Christo nog meer grief was SARU

se skeidsregterbaas wat nie antwoorde wou verskaf nie en hom na die SupeRakbie-beheerliggaam, Sanzar, verwys het. Sanzar het hom soos ‘n stopstraat geïgnoreer, waaroor Oubal hulle nie kwalik neem nie — die Woord sê immers ‘n mens antwoord ‘n dwaas nie na sy dwaasheid nie.

‘Tja, die eenvoudige waarheid is dat Sanzar al in November 2008 besluit het dat daar vanaf 2009 nie meer neutrale beamptes gebruik gaan word nie. Dit geld wanneer twee spanne van verskillende lande speel, en sekerlik per implikasie ook wanneer dit twee spanne van dieselfde land is. Soos, sê nou maar, die BB teen die Haaie.

Onverbonde skeidsregters lê dus so lank in die verlede dat Oubal omtrent nog net kan onthou van waar oubaas Max Baise was. Dat ‘n gesoute joernalis dit nie weet nie en dan ‘n boHAAI opskop, spreek van uiterste dwaasheid!

Dis ongelukkig nie al wat hy nie weet nie.

Die Haaie se grootste grief was die vorentoe aangee van Jessie Kriel wat tot Tatoëerman se drie gelei het. Dink Oubal die aangee was vorentoe? Ongetwyfeld, beslis, sonder vrees vir teenspraak. Dink Oubal die TV-skeidsregter het dit

verkeerd beoordeel? Geensins, as ‘n mens die voorskrift e van WR (voorheen IRB) volg nie.

‘Tja, WR sê daar moet gekyk word hoe die bal die speler se hande verlaat, met inagneming daarvan dat fi siese wett e bepaal dat die momentum van ‘n bewegende voorwerp hom vorentoe sal neem, selfs al was die aanvanklike rigting terugwaarts.

Neef Christo en mede-gebelgdes kan gerus weer gaan kyk wat gebeur het en veral luister na wat die TV-skeidsregter gesê het. Die hoek van die beeld wys Kriel van agter en met die aangee is sy hande voor sy lyf en gevolglik nie sigbaar nie. Die TV-skeidsregter sê daar is geen duidelike bewys dat die bal vorentoe aangegee word nie (want hy kon nie die hande sien nie!) en hy sê ook dat die bal na die aangee vorentoe gesweef het (wat in ooreenstemming met genoemde fi siese wet kan wees).

Stem Oubal saam met hierdie interpretasie?

Glad nie, maar die TV-skeidsregter moet die voorskrift e van sy base volg en nie Oubal s’n nie. As ons dit wil verander, moet dit met WR opgeneem word eerder as om ons monde in die openbaar teen die verkeerde mense uit te spoel.

Neef Christo gaan laakbaar voort deur te sê dat die TV-skeidsregter in die BB’e se guns beslis het om op te maak vir sy beslissing met

Grant Hatt ingh se non-drie die vorige week. Askies, maar was hy nie toe ook verbonde aan die BB nie?

Die vraag wat Oubal eintlik vir neef Christo wil vra, is hoekom hy niks sê

van die drie Haaiverdedigers wat in posisie was om Tatoëerman te stuit, maar nie kon nie?

Northam 33 – Letaba 3In een van hul swakste pogings in baie jare het Letaba 1 toe Saterdag op Loft us in die As-supol-eindstryd gegly, in plaas van om rugby te speel. Loft us was vir hulle soos een groot piesangskil...

Letaba het weer teen Northam te staan ge-kom en ‘n behoorlike loesing (33-3) op die lyf geloop. Voorkant toe sal Letaba nie net baie beter teen Northam moet speel nie, maar hulle sal ook bedag moet wees op goeie sielkundige voorbereiding — Saterdag se loesing sal nie som-mer net opklaar en vergete wees nie.

Die span het hul-self, hul goeie af-rigter en sy span helpers en ook Leta-ba se getroue onder-steuners en borge in die steek gelaat. Die span was lus-teloos en die verde-diging was skok-kend. Slegs enkele uitsonderings het hoegenaamd enige vasberadenheid gewys en die meeste spelers was slegs fi sies op die veld; terwyl hul koppe êrens anders was.

Letaba het vroeg voorgeloop, danksy ‘n strafskop van Gom Bvuma. Na die sukses-volle skop het dit gelyk of die span net gewag het vir die eindfl uitjie om te blaas.

Northam het by hul spelpatroon gehou; maar Letaba het heeltemal laat slaplê by

die losgemale, terwyl die voorspelers in die agterlyn gelê het, om soos senters te probeer hardloop.

Die agterlynspelers het een of ander on-bekende wedstrydplan gevolg, deur elke bal te probeer skop en of suinig te speel. Dit het gesorg dat Letaba ‘n liederlike pak slae op die lyf geloop het.

Die kanse was daar om drieë te druk, maar met suinige spel en swak aangeë is talle kanse verbrou. Glen Mafumo was die uitsonder-ing en hy het sy lyf op die spel geplaas. As

nog net drie, vier ander spelers met dieselfde toewyding gespeel het, kon die telbord heel anders gelyk het.

Letaba sal vinnig moet regruk, want more speel hulle tuis teen die baie sterk span van Mbomb-ela.

Letaba 1 en 2 speel om 15:00 en 16:30 onderskeidelik. Die span se getroue

ondersteuners moet sorg da hulle more op-daag en die groenes ondersteun. Vergeet nou maar van wat die afgelope naweek op Loft us gebeur het. Ons gly almal een of ander tyd en selfs die topspanne in rugby wêreldwyd maak soms skande.

Ons glo ons manne kan en wil en sál vir hul brouwerk van die afgelope naweek sake regstel.

Lo� us se piesangskil te veel vir Letaba
