KrisisWater binne twee

maande opDie groot dors lê en wink vir Tzaneen en omgewing, met die water in die Tzaneendam wat teen die huidige verbruik hoogstens nog twee maande sal hou. As dit nie in die eersvolgende sowat ses weke goed reën nie, sal geen water vir menslike gebruik uit die dam beskikbaar wees nie.

Boere wat reeds verlede jaar self besluit het om net 50% van hul kwotas uit die dam te ontt rek, pleks van die staat se voorgeskrewe 35%, gaan nou ingeperk word tot slegs 20% — terwyl huishou- delike water-besparing van die huidige 10% tot 30% vergroot.

Drinkwater uit die Tzaneen-dam word gestaak wanneer die inhoud tot 20% daal. Weens die hoë konsentrasie van stowwe soos mangaan en yster is die water dan nie meer vir huis- houdelike gebruik geskik nie.

Die Groot Letaba Stakeholder Operating Forum het verlede week by ‘n vergadering in Tza-neen aanbeveel dat die beper- king op landbouwater uit die dam tot 80% opgestoot word, as dit nie intussen goed reën nie. Die forum is aangebied deur die waterkonsultant WR Nyabezi & Associates in samewerking met die departement van water en sanitasie. Die aanbeveling sal in April in die Staatskoerant aangekondig word.

Mnr Pieter Vorster, die voor-sitt er van AgriLetaba, het Woensdag ontsteld gereageer toe hy deur die Bulletin vir kommentaar hieroor gevra is, omdat hy nog nie oor dié aanbeveling ingelig is nie. Op AgriLetaba se vergadering is ooreenstemmend besluit dat die beperking van 50% gehandhaaf sou word.

“Ons is reeds in die moeilik-heid met water en dié aanbeve-ling beteken net groter moeilik-heid vir die landbou.”

Tydens die vergadering het verskeie lede gesê dat die bestaande beperking van 10% wat op huishoudelike water van toepassing is, nog nêrens in Tzaneen bewys kon word nie.

Die huishoudelike beperking gaan nou na 30% opgestoot word, maar AgriLetaba se lede het bedenking of dit ooit toege-pas gaan word.

Dit pla ook dat die GTM soos die graf swyg oor die beperkings en noodsaaklike besparings. Die inwoners weet nie wat die GTM doen of beplan om die dreigende krisis te help voorkom nie.

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!

“My pastors and bishops, you have a serious task. More than all of us, as the servants of God. Something has gone wrong to our so-ciety. I remember when I was a young man there were few churches, which means there were fewer people who went to church. But the sinners were fewer as well. Today there is a church almost in every corner and the sinners are in millions. Something has gone wrong. How as a society we value our life, you need to do more. We couldn’t be lesser as sinners when the pastors were few, when we are so many there are more. There is something wrong. I actually fear because we don’t know when Jesus is coming to fetch us. When he came the sinners were not as many as there are now. Is it possible as you talk to God all the time to ask God to change the plan, so that Jesus comes not for the last time. Come again to deal with us and cleanse the sins that are so many before he comes for the fi nal time. Otherwise there are many people who will remain here and you might be in trouble, because you are the ones who must ensure that when the time

comes, we all go. So you have more jobs to do.”

Nee, Vlieg is nie weer besig om skoor te soek met die skrifgeleerdes nie. Hi-erdie is ‘n verbatim aanhaling uit die Evangelie volgens Jacob. Vlieg is nie seker watt er verse nie, maar dit maak nie saak nie, Jacob kan in elk geval nie tel nie en sou dus onwaarskynlik die verse genommer het.

Dit is ‘n transkripsie van ‘n toespraak wat die Apostel Jacob die een of ander tyd by ‘n baie kerklike byeenkoms van skrifgeleerdes gelewer het.

Dit het Vlieg gehelp om onse president nog ‘n bietjie beter te leer ken. Dit is gemene saak dat hy nie ver gevorder het in enige formele skolastiese omgewing nie. Dit blyk duidelik uit sy onvermoë om enige getal groter as 1 te kan verstaan en lees. Hy het duidelik nooit wiskunde gehad nie. Verder het hy ook reeds bewys dat hy ook nooit in ‘n Aardrykskundeklas was toe hy beweer het dat Afrika die grootste kontinent is nie.

Nou blyk dit dat hy ook nog nooit die bin-

nekant van ‘n Bybelklas gesien het nie.

As Vlieg nou ‘n enkel-versteoloog of ‘n skrifge-leerde was en ‘n teksvers uit voormelde voorlesing moes kies vir sy prediking, sou dit egter baie maklik gewees het:

“Something has gone wrong”“There is something wrong”En sou dit nie lekker gewees het om ‘n hele

preek te kon skryf oor wat waar fout gegaan het in hierdie geval nie! Miskien doen Vlieg dit tog eendag, net vir die lekker!

Liquor punters came under fi re this week-end when local SAPS members in conjunc-tion with the Department of Trade and In-dustry (DTI), Limpopo Liquor Board and various Community Police Forums con-ducted unscheduled raids of their premises around the Tzaneen Municipality. The Chief Director of the National Liquor Authority at the DTI, Ms Prea Ramdhuny, said the oper-ation was meant to enforce compliance with the National Liquor Act, and to address the increasing number of under-age drinking, non-adherence to the licence conditions and trading hours. It also served as a way of en-forcing compliance by liquor traders and distributors.

The joint inspection operation, dubbed “Op-

eration Blits” saw more than 60 outlets raging from taverns to restaurants, distributors and manufacturers raided in Tzaneen, Maake, Bo-lobedu, Letsitele, Lenyenye, Letabe, Ntsako village, Modjadjiskloof and surrounding areas. The operation was headed by the Op-erational Commander of the Tzaneen SAPS Cluster, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe.

According to him, operations such as this one, is of great value to local law enforcement as it helps them to focus and deal with issues in specifi c areas which very oft en are the source of most complaints received from the public. “Alcohol is still one of the crime gen-erators in the country. In most cases it leads to other crimes such as murder, rape, assault, robberies and anarchy,” he said.

Despite being delayed by more than an hour past its planned kick-off time on Fri-day aft ernoon, Operation Blits is reported to have been an all round success. More than 60 non-compliance notices were issued, one liquor outlet was closed down, six people were arrested for possession of dagga, four

charged and arrested for drinking and driv-ing and more than 500 patrons were searched for various contraband. Fines to the value of R16 500 were issued to non-compliant liquor licence holders.

Common contraventions were hotels and restaurants operating as taverns, patrons drinking outside the liquor premises, fail-ure to display an original licence, eff ecting structural alterations without prior approval of the board, trading beyond stipulated trad-ing hours, selling take-away liquor while in possession of an on-consumption licence and selling liquor to minors.

“We welcome the raids in diff erent parts of the province as they will make it easy for us to identify the problematic areas and outlets as pointed out by the police. The board wants liquor traders to comply, trade responsibly and avoid a situation where their licences are revoked,” said Mr Dion Palser, Director for Compliance at the Limpopo Liquor Board.

Minibus-taxis en ander voertuie wat in die ry-baan stop om rylopers op te laai, is ‘n groot probleem op die R71 voor die Sasol-brandstof-stasie. Benewens dié probleem verstaan baie motoriste ook nie die glybaan wat gebruik kan word om vanuit die diensstasie se perseel toe-gang tot die R71 te kry nie; en talle aankomende motoriste verontagsaam die padmerke wat die

glybaantoegang beskerm. Dié foto is onlangs geneem, juis na ‘n ongeluk by die in-/uitgang. Wat belangrik is, is om te sien hoe ‘n voertuig enkele meters van polisiebeamptes en verkeers- polisie die verkeersreëls verontagsaam en stop om rylopers op te laai. Dit bewys dat die gebrek aan streng optrede teen oortreders die gevaar-like toedrag van sake daagliks toelaat.

A new psychiatric ward at Letaba Hospital will be fully operational by May, acoording to the department of health’s spokesperson, Mr Derrick Kganyago.

We asked him to clear up the situation af-ter last week’s exclusive report in Bulletin, about the fact that the ward is still in ruins af-ter the devastating fire more than a year ago.

This despite public announcements by the department of a new ward for the psychiatric patients which are now herded into the already overcrowded general wards at the hospital.

Kganyago confirmed that the psychiatric pa-tients were placed in the general wards, but added that some had been transferred to other hospitals due to space constraints. It is unclear whether the new building will in fact be erect-ed by the stipulated May deadline, as since the ward’s destruction in October 2014, the depart-ment had terminated the services of at least three contractors hired to build a new ward(s).

According to Kganyago, this was because of their poor performance. A building contractor

has since been appointed to start the project, but the department remains mum over the name of the appointee. “We can still confirm that a new ward will be handed over in two months from now. The new contractor was employed in December 2015 and we are con-fident of meeting our deadline. The contractor wanted to finish the psychiatric ward in Au-gust 2016, but we as the department of health along with the hospital’s CEO have pleaded for its May completion,” said Kganyago.

At the time of going to print, Letaba Hos-pital’s CEO, Mr Thebogo Ramodibe, could not be reached for comment despite several attempts to reach him at his office and on his mobile phone. Ramodibe’s personal assis-tant, Ms Fikile Mnisi, offered no reason as to their failure to return calls other than saying, “you will have to call him and ask why he did not call back”. We tried to call him, but he switched off his mobile phone when we called. — Phidelia Rikhotso

Letaba Hospital gets a new psychiatric ward

— says spokesperson

A newly formed Local Economic Develop-ment Forum (LEDF) was launched by the Greater Tzaneen Muinicipality’s mayor, Ms Dikeledi Mmetle, on Wednesday morning.

“The purpose of this forum is to address challenges faced by residents, increase the impact of local economic development and co-ordination of local economic develop-ment activities.”

Mmetle emphasised that the forum should realise the needs of communities in different areas, “top priorities such as service delivery, creation of decent jobs and unemployment should be addressed. It is our hope to see this initiative prosper and contribute to the local

economic development. We have a responsi-bility to account and deliver the mandate of this forum. I believe this forum will facilitate development and give financial relief pro-grams”.

The mayor has urged the representatives of different institutions as the Nkowanko-wa and Tzaneen taxi association, Greater Tzaneen Tourism Association, traditional authorities, hawkers’ associations and the National Development Agency (NDA) to submit the names of their representatives at the GTM’s offices for consideration. She also emphasised that participation in this forum is voluntary.

‘n Onverwagte verrassing het AgriLetaba dié week te beurt geval, toe mnr Nick Dorfling van BB Motors in Tzaneen laat weet het dat die maatskappy R10 000 vir droogtehulp onder plaaslike boere beskikbaar gestel het.

BB Motors daag nou ander maatskappye uit om soortgelyke bydraes tot dié hulpfonds

by te dra of daarop te verbeter.Mnr Pieter Vorster, die voorsitter van

AgriLetaba, sê die geld word deur ‘n komitee in die organisasie bestuur. Dit is vir sukkelende lede bedoel, maar kan ook op aanbeveling van ‘n lid aan swaartrekkende nie-lede uitbetaal word.

The man arrived in Lenyenye in January and frequently visited the Police station without talking to anyone. He told the police that he didn’t remember his address. The Police started and investigation an fi nally

anyone where he was going and he was never seen again.

Maake SAPS would like to thank every-one who took part in the processes of locating Sello’s family and thank the community for their continuous support to the Police.

Heavy sentence (45 years)A 36-year-old male was sentenced to 45 years in prison on charges of vehicle hi-jacking, armed robbery and possession of suspected stolen property in the Sekgosese Magistrate’s Court.

Patrick Mothipa Monyela from Botlokwa was involved in several incidents in 2014, when he targett ed employees of a cigarett e company delivering cigarett es to spaza shops.

According to the spokesperson of the Tza-neen Police Cluster, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, the deceased was cornered by a group of com-munity members aft er they accused him of

being involved in a series of house breaking incidents in that area.

“They assaulted him with various objects until he died and then dumped the body in the bushes next to the village.”

At this stage the identity of the deceased is still unknown and Police investigations are ongoing. Anyone who can assist in the iden-tifi cation of the deceased should contact the Maake Police.

Driver critical aft er accident

The driver of a light delivery vehicle was left critically injured aft er he lost control of the ve-hicle at Politsi in the early hours of Saturday. According to ER24 paramedics the driver was trapped in the badly damaged vehicle. Fire and rescue services personnel had to use the

By Jurisconsult

Nel v Hessequa and Swellendam Municipality

Nel et al approached the High Court to have the Hessequa and Swellendam Municipality’s By-law relating to the Management and use of Rivers declared unconstitutional and ultra vires national legislation; the grounds -

• the bylaws conflicts with the National Water Act, Marine Living Resources Act and Criminal Proce-dure Act.

• the by-laws accorded draconian powers on authorised officers

• the municipalities lacked au-thority to legislate on the matter.

The municipalities by agreement authorised the Lower Breede River Conservancy Trust to implement the by-law.

The by-laws regulate various boat-ing activities, e.g. licensing of boats and prohibited behaviour relating to the use of boats, policing of by-laws.

Nel argued that the regulation of rivers fell outside the competency of municipalities. The municipality rejected this view — see paragraph 10 – 11.

The court agreed that ‘rivers’ are

public amenities’, ‘public places’ and places of ‘recreation’ within the meaning of Schedule 5B of the Constitution, and the regulation thereof is aimed at achieving the s152 objects of local government, i.e. ‘promoting a safe and healthy envi-ronment’ the court acknowledge the municipalities competence to legis-late on this matter and rejected Nel’s contentions. See par 11-16.

The court also rejected the claim that the by-laws were draconian and an invasion of the right to privacy. The court emphasised “The powers of such (authorised officers) are part of an effective regime of regulation of boats on the rivers, and as such the expectations of privacy of boat users, fall to be attenuated by their obligation to comply with reasonable reg-ulations” — see par 17- 23.

The court also made a very im-portant observation, namely that a by-law has the same status as laws made by other legislatures for pur-poses of the general limitation clause found in s 36 of the Constitution – see par 23

The court rejected Nel’s claim that the by-laws conflicted with national legislation — see par 24 – 35.

The application was dismissed with costs.

Council’s powers and status of by-lawsToday we publish the second article in a special and exclusive series about impor-tant court findings regarding local government affairs. This is presented to our

readers in view of the municipal elections later this year.

‘n Bekende in regskringe in Lim-popo, me Clarissa Coetzee (58), is Maandag na ‘n kort siekbed in Tzaneen dood. Sy word moreog-gend om 11:00 vanuit die Gere-formeerde kerk Laeveld in Tza-neen begrawe.

Sy is in 1957 in Westonaria gebore en het later haar regskwa-lifikasie aan die PU vir CHO (deesdae Noordwes Universiteit) behaal. Nadat sy haar klerkskap in Heidelberg voltooi het, is sy as staatsaanklaer na Johannesburg.

Daar is sy met ‘n landdros, mnr Mike Coetzee, getroud en hulle het in Vereeniging gewoon. Hulle was 31 jaar getroud.

Mnr Coetzee is ‘n streeklanddros in Thohoyandou.

In 1985 is die egpaar na Gi-yani, waar sy haar eie praktyk, CH Coetzee Prokureurs, gevestig

het. Die praktyk het vir 28 jaar ‘n wye diens aan die gemeenskap gelewer (ook met ‘n kantoor in Modjadjiskloof).

Coetzee was in die Mopani-dis-trik by verskeie organisasies be-trokke. Sy was hoof van die Lim-popo Law Council en het gereeld moeilike sake oor grondhervorm-ing en mediese kwessies met suk-ses afgehandel.

Sy was voorsitter van (en ‘n groot dryfveer agter) die ATKV se Leta-ba-tak en het in die beheerraad van die Hoërskool Merensky ge-dien. Volgens haar dogter Helené het sy haar ook daarop toegespits om agtergeblewenes te help, ter-wyl sy ‘n baie toegewyde moeder vir haar kinders was.

Sy laat haar man en vier kinders agter — Walt, die tweeling Claris-sa en Helené, en Mikhe.

Major renovations of R7,5 million at the Ritavi Magis-trate’s Court should be completed in June. According to the project’ community liaison officer, Mr Hector Phambhani, the project created work opportunities for eighteen general workers. Court C is the only court operating normally. Regional court matters are transferred to the Lenyenye Magistrate’s Court.

Adding nuts to your diet is associated to a reduc-tion in the risk of cancer, says the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council. This is the main conclu-sion of multiple studies that have shown that eat-ing two or three servings per week of fresh nuts is associated with a reduction in the risk of some types of breast, colon, pancreatic and lung cancer.

26 February 2016

Good news, but...The Greater Tzaneen Municipality an-nounced the formation of a new struc-ture to stimulate economic growth on Wednesday.

It is not clear why it was kept quiet until the announcement. It is also not clear ex-actly who the GTM would like to be part of the new structure. In fact, the detail about the new forum is skimpy.

Such a structure could achieve a lot in growing the local economy, if managed properly. That is the good news.

However, the GTM’s track record is not good in this respect. They introduced GTEDA (Greater Tzaneen Economic Development Agency) a couple of years ago, to grow the economy. Despite a few smaller successes not a single major pro-ject can be shown.

So far GTEDA has swallowed a large amount of ratepayers money — in the main to pay (fancy) salaries.

Then followed the GTfm radio station disaster. From the fi rst day people in the communications industry warned that the expertise to run the radio station suc-cessfully, was nowhere near adequate.

The project failed and a lot of money was lost. The GTM has been using the excuse that it was a GTEDA project. But who does GTEDA report to in die fi nal analysis?

We wish the GTM good luck with their new plan and hope they have learned from past mistakes.

Helpende Hand benodig

MislukkingIn 1958 het dr Thomas Starzl die eerste keer begin eksperimen- teer om lewers oor te plant. Hy het dit op honde gedoen maar almal is twee dae na die opera-sie dood. ‘n Jaar later het hy ‘n manier gevind om hul bloed-sirkulasie te stabiliseer en die honde het ‘n week langer na die operasie gelewe.

In Maart 1963 het dr Starzl die eerste leweroorplan- ting op ‘n mens gedoen maar sy pasiënt het doodge-bloei. Daardie mislukking en ‘n hepatitis-epidemie wat in die vroeë sestigerjare uitgebreek het, het hom ge-dwing om die oorplantingsprogram te laat vaar.

In 1968 het dr.Starzl weer probeer en al sewe kinders wat toe by die oorplanting van lewers betrokke was, het die oorplanting oorleef, alhoewel vier binne ses maande oorlede is. Die resultate was bemoedigend maar nie skitt erend nie. Teen 1975 was daar net twee leweroor-plantingsprogramme in die wêreld oor. In Mei 1981 het dr Starzl en sy span sukses behaal! Negentien van die 22 pasiënte het ‘n lang tyd na hul oorplan tings bly leef.

Dr Starzl is deur ander medici gekritiseer en selfs be-laster omdat hy leweroorplantings gedoen het, maar hy het net nooit moed opgegee nie en dit bly doen waarin hy geglo het.

Vandag word daar leweroorplantings daagliks reg oor die wêreld in hospitale gedoen, danksy die baanbreker-werk wat dr Starzl gedoen het en omdat hy geglo het hy doen die regte ding, ten spyte van kritiek. Baie mense kan vandag leef en ‘n kwaliteit lewe leef omdat hy net nooit moed opgegee het nie.

Die Bybel spoor ons ook aan tot dieselfde gedagte en lewensfi losofi e. Galasiërs 6:9 sê: “Laat ons dan nie moeg word om goed te doen nie, want as ons nie verslap nie, sal ons op die bestemde tyd ook die oes insamel.” Laat mislukkings in jou lewe jou leer, nie keer nie!

Onkantspel….. dit is waarvan dieminister van landbou, me ThokoDidiza, beskuldig word, nadat sy‘n Staatskoerant-kennisgewingoor vloedskadehulp aan boere op‘n omstrede wyse gewysig het.

Inmiddels is ontnugterde boerein die Letaba-distrik besig omregsmenings hieroor in te win enword voorberei op regstappe teenminstens die Landbank en dieDepartement van Landbou. ‘nHersiening van die onbevredi-gende toestand kan sorg dat diesaak in die reine gebring word endie Landbank is inderdaad tansbesig om te kyk na maniere waar-op kommersiële boere wat vloed-hulp ontvang het, met terugbeta-lings op hul lenings tegemoet ge-kom kan word.

Na 2000 se vloede in Limpopo enMpumalanga het die Landbank se-dert Januarie 2001 sogenaamdesagte lenings teen tien persentrente aan boere beskikbaar gestel,om skade te herstel. Amptenarevan die Landbank in Tzaneen hetby boereverenigings kopieë van ‘nStaatskoerant versprei, waarinvloedhulp in die vorm van subsi-dies van 75% aangekondig is.

Boere is aangeraai om die le-nings op te neem, om te versekerdat hulle vir die subsidies in aan-merking sou kom.

Teen die einde van April 2001 hetdie aansoeke vir die lenings ge-sluit en boere oor die ganseLetaba-distrik het aansoek gedoen

••••• Boere wil minister aantree

Onkant!gewings nie aanvaar nie, het begindreig met regstappe teen dieLandbank én die Departement vanLandbou. Sedert Oktober 2003poog Agri-Letaba tevergeefs omdie saak met die plaaslike tak vandie Landbank op te los.

In Augustus 2003 is die saak ookweer met die Landbank se hoof-kantoor opgeneem en daar is toe‘n onderneming gegee dat die aan-geleentheid deeglik vir alterna-tiewe ondersoek sou word.

‘n Klein persentasie van die meeras R200 miljoen wat die staat virvloedhulp bewillig het, is aan boereuitbetaal. Die res is nog beskikbaaren sou in ‘n stadium vir ramphulpin die Oos-Kaap aangewend word.

Die Landbank oorweeg nou:· dat boere se terugbetalings

van die lenings uitgestel word, met‘n kapitalisering van die rente;

· dat die tien persent-koers, watlank nie meer so “sag” is nie weensdie versterking van die Rand en diegevolglike verlagings in rentekoer-se deur die Reserwebank, afwaartsaangepas word;

· dat die subsidie vir skade aaninfrastruktuur ook aan kommer-siële boere uitbetaal word, soosoorspronklik in Januarie 2001 in dieStaatskoerant aangekondig is.

Agri-Letaba het die aangeleent-heid by Agri-SA aanhangig gemaaken plaaslike boere neem tans dievoorpunt in die debat oor diebenadeling van kommersiële boereby die uitbetaling van vloedskade.

vir lenings om damme, pompe, be-sproeiingsinfrastruktuur en brûe teherstel.

Didiza, het egter vroeg in Mei 2001die Staatskoerant-kennisgewing op‘n omstrede wyse gewysig, sodatslegs sogenaamde nuwelingboerein aanmerking kon kom vir die sub-sidies om infrastruktuur te herstel.

Kommersiële boere sou net kwa-lifiseer vir hulp om landerye envrugteboorde onder die vloedlynvan ‘n rivier, spruit of watergangte herstel.

Aangesien die meeste rampge-teisterde boere toe reeds leningsopgeneem het vir die herstel vaninfrastruktuur, was hulle in die knypom die skuld terug te betaal.

Tydens omvattende onderhande-lings tussen Agri-SA en die Depar-tement van Landbou, asook ampte-nare van die Landbank se hoofkan-toor in Pretoria, het die Landbankvolgehou dat hulle in goedertrouop grond van die Staatskoerant op-getree het.

Maar die Departement van Land-bou hou vol dat die Landbank be-wus was van die “ware bedoel-ing”van die minister, en ook hoedit van die gepubliseerde weer-gawe verskil.

Op Valentynsdag het Bulletin dubbeld gevier. Dit was ook die koerant se twaalf-de verjaarsdag (tot die ergernis van die omgewing se groot doemprofeet wat selfvoldaan vir sy drie vriende gesê het: “Hoogstens twaalf maande, dan’s dit verby”). Hierbo is die voorblad van die eerste uitgawe van die koerant. Ons gaan vir die res van die jaar elke week ‘n voorblad wys. Dit gaan beslis interessant wees om te sien wat twaalf jaar gelede die hoofnuus in die toonaangewende nuusblad van Limpopo se Laeveld was. Eweneens gaan dit interessant wees om te sien hoe die styl en adverteerders oor die jare verander het. Geniet dit gerus!

Die gift ige Demoina-onkruid wat reeds groot skade aan oeste en plantegroei in KwaZulu/Natal veroorsaak het en na Lim-popo op pad is, het nog ‘n klag teen hom bygekry: dis ‘n lekkerny vir malariadra- ende muskiete.

Die Bulletin het in November verlede jaar berig dat dié onkruid hierheen in aantog is en in alle erns gekeer moet word. Dit is gift ig vir mens en dier, terwyl dit met chemiese af-skeidings ander plantegroei verdring.

ICIPE, die grootste internasionale navor- singsentrum vir insekfi siologie en –ekologie in Afrika, het bevind dat die malariamuskiet versot is op die Demoina-onkruid (Partheni-um hysterophorus) en daarop voed wanneer bloed as voedsel nie beskikbaar is nie.

Die plant se gifstof het geen nadelige

uitwerking op muskiete nie. Volgens dr Baldwyn Torto, ‘n navorser by ICIPE se hoofsentrum in Kenia, kan die muskiet se weerstand daaraan toegeskryf word dat muskiete aan soveel chemiese insek-doders blootgestel word, dat hulle teen verskeie gifstowwe immuun geraak het om te oorleef.

Dit is bekend dat muskiete op die nektar van verskeie plante voed in hul soektog na bloed. Die indringerplant kan derhalwe die bestrydingsplanne teen malariamuskiete belemmer.

Dr Arne Witt , die hoof van indringerspesies by die sentrum vir landbou-biowetenskappe in Nairobi, sê die Demoina-onkruid het reeds twee miljoen hektaar net in Ethiopië besmet. Dit is ‘n taai onkruid wat net deur ‘n verskei-

denheid gasheergemikte teenmiddels beveg kan word.

Torto het gesê dis sover die eerste onkruid wat met die welvaart van die malariamus- kiet verbind word. Meer navorsing is nodig om vas te stel of ander indringerplante in Afrika ook daarmee en met die verspreid-ing van ander siektes onder mense en diere verbind kan word.

Intussen het navorsers van die Universi-teit van Canterbury in Nieu-Seeland vas-gestel dat ‘n vampier-spinnekop wat in Oos-Afrika voorkom, graag gulsig aan ma-lariamuskiete smul. Hulle jag die muskiete waarvan die pense vol bloed is.

Die spinnekop val nie mense aan nie, maar sal bo-oor ander prooi klouter om by die bloeddraende muskiete uit te kom.

As part of Rotary Haenertsburg’s commitment to Preserve Planet Earth projects in the area, the Haenertsburg Village International Arboretum was identifi ed as a worthy project to adopt and nur-ture. At a small ceremony on Saturday 13 February to launch Ro-tary’s involvement with the Arboretum, which was the brainchild of local resident Mike Gardner, a plaque was erected in his hon-our: “The Mike Gardner Arboretum”. The fi rst trees were planted

in 1993 in a layout that loosely represented the fi ve rings of the Olympic symbol with trees from the fi ve continents. In his

address at the ceremony Mike thanked Rotary and current President Maria da Silva, for recognizing the importance of

trees and the special area that is a part of the Village to be enjoyed and be of educational value to all residents and visitors alike. The trees have identifi cation tags and special trees have been singled out for more comprehensive information boards.

Tragedy struck earlier this year when Ms René Basson from Politsi as well as her son Corné, who lives nearby, had to have their dogs euthanased.

Dr Gert Kruger, a Tzaneen veterinary surgeon, advised that the dog owners could not take a chance — as the dogs had contact with a wild jackal that had acted out of character.

Ms Basson had her three dogs, a miniature Doberman pincher, a Dachshund and a fox terrier put down. Her son’s dog, a Rott weiler that had not received the annual rabies injec-tion, had an encounter with a jackal about a week later and was also put down.

Basson said that her three dogs never went out of the house. Therefore she did not see the need to give them the rabies injection. However, the jackal came boldly into the house and bit her animals.

This fact made Kruger highly suspicious. He says that jackal normally shy away from human and animal contact. The fact that the jackal behaved aggressively towards the dogs was a serious indication of a rabid in-fected jackal. The jackal was never found, but the vet said it was bett er to be safe.

Kruger said that a jackal is out of character if it behaves either in a friendly or aggressive manner. The normal behavior of a jackal is to run away from humans or do-mestic animals. Kruger recalls shooting a rabid jackal in Modimolle in 1992. The jackal raised his suspicion when it was seen uncharacteristically playing with a pumpkin.

The fi rst rabies case in Tzaneen was reported ten years ago, when Kruger had to euthanase three rabid dogs. Rabies is spread in rural areas by stray dogs but Kru-ger warned that there are plenty stray dogs roaming the streets of Tzaneen at night. Rabies is carried in the sali-va and a rabid animal will bite anything and everything

in sight. It manifests itself six weeks to three months aft er being bitt en.

Rabies can infect all mammals including hu-mans. The current host species are domestic dogs, black-backed jackal, bat-eared fox and yellow mongoose. Start vaccinating dogs at three months with a booster at nine months. Thereaft er every three years with annual re-vaccinations in high risk areas.

The fi rst record of canine rabies in South Africa was of a dog that was shipped to the Cape from England in 1892. The outbreak that ensued was controlled by August 1894. No further rabies was reported until 1950 in Limpopo from where it spread to Kwa-Zulu-Natal. Rabies is of serious concern in South Africa and all dog and cat owners should have their animals injected against this fatal disease.

The State Vet for Limpopo, dr Veronica Letsoalo, could not be reached for comment, despite numerous att empts to reach her at both the landline number and her cell phone number.

Die Warriors-studente van Magoe-baskloof gaan Sondag Tzaneen se strate met skuddende blikkies invaar,

om geld vir die plaaslike DBV in te samel. Me Ellie Potgieter van die DBV sê die geld is dringend nodig vir die

versorging van verwaarloosde en mis-handelde diere. Sy vra die publiek om die studente se poging te ondersteun.

‘n Bekende egpaar van Modjad-jiskloof, mnr Pieter van Niekerk en sy vrou Willa, vier vandag (Vrydag) hul goue bruilof.

Mnr Van Niekerk was vir baie jare ‘n stadsraadslid in Modj-adjiskloof en het ook as burge-meester die dorp gelei.

Hy het steeds ‘n lewendige belangstelling in munisipale be-stuur, maar hou dit net van die kantlyn af dop. Hy is ook bekend as ‘n suksesvolle sakeman.

Die egpaar het ‘n mooi span kinders en kleinkinders; sewen-

tien altesame. Robbie, Ursula, Jo-han, Erica, Dewald, Willa, Pieter, Anele, Chantel, Simone, Kyla, Ruëtt e, Liezel, Martin, Rikus, Ro-land en Anine het die volgende boodskap by die viering van die groot dag aangebied:

LarriesLaerskool Tzaneen

Ons leiergroep se leuse vir die Larries vir 2016 is “een tree op op ‘n slag”. Daarmee bedoel ons dat ons elke geleentheid gaan aangryp en die beste daarvan gaan maak. Tree vir tree gaan ons die leer klim, op sport- , akademiese- en kultuurgebied tot ons by die hoogste sport uitkom.

In her song one step at a time Jordin Sparks sings: One step at a time, there’s no need to rush. It’s like learning to fly or falling in love. It’s gonna happen and it’s supposed to happen. That we find the reasons why, one step at a time.

Don’t try to overhaul your life overnight. Instead focus on making one small change at a time. Over time, those small changes will add up to a big transformation. Don’t give up!!!

My wish is that we as school and community may unite into a strong force that resembles friendship, loyalty and vision. A Journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step. May we only look back to see how far we have come…!!

-Hoofseun: Henro de Bruin

By Laerskool Tzaneen sien ons uit na ‘n jaar propvol positiwiteit opwinding, harde werk, betrokkenheid en on-beperkte geleenthede. A year to live to the fullest by tak-ing one step at a time! Paul Brandt once said that don’t tell me that the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon.

Dis hier in Tzaneen waar opgewonde leerlinge, be-kwame personeel en ‘n ondersteunende gemeenskap hande vat om nuwe onbegrensde uitdagings aan te pak, te oorkom en doelwitte te bereik! My wens is dat ons saam groot, maar waardige voetspore in 2016 sal agter-laat om in te trap!

Directly after the big brag on Tuesday 16 February, all teachers at Merensky

High School rushed to the school hall to participate in a fun fi lled con-

cert — to further boost the Merensky morale for inter-high on 19 February.

The hall was jam packed with an approving audi-

ence of Plasie parents and scholars. A large variety of items were deliv-ered with gusto, from dancing blobs to army girls and water ballet. The headmaster, Mr Magnus Steyn, and his wife Ronel also took to the stage and stunned everyone with their

moves.Afterwards the

Plasies sang Meren-sky in Union whilst watching the sym-bolic M being set alight, proving that the Plasie spirit is still alive and well after eighty years.

As tradition dictates, the new Plasies had the opportunity to contribute to the number of indigenous trees on the farm. A total of 37 Tree Wis-terias, Bolusanthus speciosus (Van Wyks-hout) was planted at the entrance to the school. The Fe-ver Trees planted by the Gr 8’s of 2015 are growing abundantly, despite the drought, due to the good care they receive.

Teachers take to the stage

Vossies vat hande

Vossies vat hande in geloof vir die skool, ge-meenskap en land… Die Vossies het onlangs hande gevat en gebid vir die leerlinge en per-soneellede van die skool. Daar is ook gebid vir die gemeenskap en Suid-Afrika. Die leer-linge het ‘n ketting rondom die rugbyveld gevorm, as simbool van eenheid en in stilte gebid. Mnr Chris De-nysschen, die hoof, het die seremonie met die Onse Vader afgesluit. Die Vossies het die ge-leentheid gebruik om hul gunsteling Bybel-versies op hul wange te verf en so die Woord te versprei.

Soos in vorige jare is die liefdesdag weer vanjaar volgens tradisie deur die Voss-ies gevier. Alhoewel Valentynsdag va-naar op ‘n Sondag geval het, is dit nie oorgeslaan nie.

Vanjaar was geen uitson-dering nie, behalwe dat som-miges so tuis gevoel het met die jaar se tema – “Valentines dance on way back Wednes-day”! Die “disco”-era het nog lank nie gaan lê nie en die leerlinge het tot die einde geruk en gerol! Die saal was

prentjiemooi met dansende fi gure en polsende ligte. Dit het menige ouer met nostalgie gevul.

Deur die dag is lekkernye verkoop en die leerlinge het, soos net die Vos-sies kan, gees gevang. Tydens pouse is die

personeel bederf met ‘n heer-like ete wat die gr 11-ouers voorberei het.

Nou sien almal in Vossie-land natuurlik met verwag-ting uit na die matriekafskeid op 29 September. Dieself-de komitee (bestaande uit gr 11-ouers) wat die dans gereël het, reël ook vanjaar

se matriekafskeid.

Die gr 11-leerlinge van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het die skool se Valentynsdans die voorafgaande Vrydag 12 Februarie op ‘n vrolike, byna uitbundige, wyse gevier en die res van die leerlinge gemotiveer om die dans by te woon.

Tydens die viering van Valentynsdag, wat by die Vossies op Woensdag 17 Februarie gehou is het hierdie doring tussen die rose behoorlik gees gevang.

Juan Cloete en Vanessa van Rooyen, van die Hoër-skool Ben Vorster, het die Valentynsdans baie geniet en pragtig gelyk.

Tydens die Valentynsdans van die Vossies het Wian Jacobs en Anin Myburg te spoggerig gelyk.

‘n Pleidooi is dié week op boereverenigings in die Letabagebied gedoen om verteenwoor-digers na die vergaderings van polisiëringsfo-rums te stuur, as hulle vordering in misdaad-bekamping wil sien.

Mnr Corrie Large, AgriLetaba se lid belas met veiligheid, het gesê hegter samewerking tussen boere en die SAPD is nodig om mis-daadsake vas te vat. Hy het bygevoeg “in die Letsitele-streek was dit ‘n paar maande ‘rede-lik stil’, maar die afgelope maand is nog drie transformators gesteel en verskeie gevalle van

diefstal is aangemeld”.Hy het die Letsitele-polisiekantoor se diens-

lewering as die “swakste in Limpopo” beskryf. Dit is deur ander lede by Woensdag se verga-dering beaam.

In Tzaneen lyk dinge nie veel beter nie, het mnr Uwe Kroh gesê. Hy is onlangs weer as voorsitt er van die Tzaneen GPF aangestel en sal vir die volgende vyf jaar in dié amp sy plek volstaan.

Kroh het gesê ‘n regrukprogram is nodig en hiervoor is die provinsiale kommissaris van

polisie genooi om Tzaneen eersdaags te besoek.Ander sake wat op die vergadering aandag

geniet het, is die jongste minimumloon vir plaaswerkers. Die verhoging van 6,6% beteken dat die minimumloon per werker nou opskuif na R2 778,83 per maand, gebaseer op ‘n 9-uur-dag se werk. Dit is R641,32 per week of R128,26 daagliks en R14,25 per uur.

Wat grondeise betref, lyk dit nie of daar veel beweging voor 2019 gaan wees nie, het mnr Pieter Henning gesê. Van die lede het egter ge-noem dat hulle besoeke op plase kry van mense

wat skielik grafstene op ou graft e wil oprig.Mnr Leo Kruger van Westfalia het gesê ‘n hele

paar versoeke hiervoor is die afgelope weke ervaar. Die voorsitt er, mnr Pieter Vorster, het hom aangeraai om by die bepalings van plaas-protokol te hou en ook te probeer vasstel of die stene op werklike graft e geplaas word.

Vorster het verwys na opgrawings in die Let-sitele-omgewing waar na ‘n beweerde graf ge-soek is. Forensiese en mensbeendeskundiges was teenwoordig, maar geen bewyse van enige beendere kon gevind word nie.

Die Letaba Voortrekkers het onlangs ‘n kommandokamp vir ongeveer sestig kinders van Tzaneen en Modjadjis- kloof by Westfalia se Fae rie Glen-kampeerterrein gehou.

Die kinders is besig gehou met ‘n nag-skatt ejag en akti-witeite soos “wat om te doen in noodsituasies” (gr 1 & 2), plantekennis (gr 3), die aan-

leer van bekende Afrikaanse liedjies (gr 4 & 5), en ‘n stap-tog (gr 6 & 7) Saterdag deur die dag. Die gr 6’e en gr 7’s het Saterdagaand in die berg by Westfalia geslaap. Die res van die kinders het Sater-dagaand ‘n kampvuurkon-sert gehou, lantern bekruip en malvalekkers oor kole gebraai.

Vir navrae oor die Voor-trekkers, kontak die Kom-mando-leier, Udett e Kruger, by 083 338 7868 (udett [email protected]) of AKL Admin, Richenda Wright, by 072 376 6838 ([email protected]). Of besoek www.hou-koers.co.za of soek Die Voor-trekkers: Letaba Voortrek-kers op Facebook.

Boere moet Forum- vergaderings bywoon

Hier kom die kinders eerste

Die kampvuurkonsert het vir groot pret gesorg.

Landboukollege vir TzaneenDie vestiging van ‘n private landboukol-lege op Tzaneen se skouterrein word in die vooruitsig gestel en kan reeds volgende jaar ‘n werklikheid word. Dit is een van drie kolleges wat deur Agriculture Southern Af-rica (ASA) vir SA beplan word.

Die ander twee is in die WesKaap en Kwa-

Zulu/Natal. Die Bulletin sal volgende week volledig hieroor berig. Ons pogings om Woensdag en gister met die promotors van die projek te praat, plaaslike sowel as elders in die land, het misluk — almal was druk besig in vergaderings en nie beskikbaar vir medianavrae nie.

Tzaneen se straathan-delaars/smouse/in-formele handelaars doen toenemend hul eie ding en rig hul struklture op waar hulle wil. Die GTM tree nie op nie en laat die handelaars toe om onwettig handel te dryf waar hulle wil. Die jongste besetting is enkele meter van die kruising wat as die hoofi ngang na die dorp bekend is. Hier word lankal onwettig handel gedryf op ‘n gevaarlike plek vir voetgangers en mo-toriste, maar die afge-lope sowat twee weke het daar ‘n nuwe groep handelaars toegetree. Soos met die res word daar nie teen die mense opge-tree nie, ongeag die gevaar wat hulle daar skep. Die omgewing word ook toenemend as ‘n openbare toilet gebruik en die reuk van urine hang reeds swaar in die lug.

Priorities according to the MFMA circular No 78 issued by the National Treasury called the “Municipal Budget Circular for the 2016/17 MTREF.”

National Treasury gave extensive att ention to priorities within local government in this election year.

1. Credit control and debt collectionNational Treasury admits that Municipal fi -

nances are presently volatile and there is se-vere pressure to maintain healthy cash fl ow

and eff ective cost containment measures. Municipalities are urged to continue with credit control and debt collection eff orts.

2. Infrastructure is key priorityIt is important to note that infrastructure

provisioning for water, sanitation, roads and electricity remain key priorities. Further Na-tional Treasury advise councils to prioritize expenditure appropriations aligned to the policy content as described in the integrat-ed development plans (IDP). The outgoing

political leadership and communities must therefore ensure that the proposed IDP and budget stay within this framework.

3. Long-term contractsThe outgoing councils are advised to criti-

cally consider the fi nancial implication before entering into new long-term contracts that are not of priority to the municipality. Councils are further advised to refrain from purchas-ing cars and from incurring any expenditure that will fi nancially burden taxpayers.

Impact of Local Government Elections on the budget of municipalities for 2016/17

By Marie Helm Part 3: Priorities

‘n Reusevrag op ‘n reuse-padtrein is verlede week deur Tzaneen. Die vrag en die groot vrag-motors en sleepwaens behoort aan Eskom. Die trekvragmotors het altesame 36 wiele waarvan die bande ongeveer R2 500 elk kos. Dit bete-ken om ‘n nuwe stel bande vir die vragmotors te koop sal ongeveer R90 000 kos. Dan het die sleepwaens (low beds) altesame 208 wiele en om vir daardie wiele nuwe tekkies te koop, sal ongeveer R2,2 miljoen benodig word. In totaal sal die bande dus meer as R3 miljoen kos. Daar kan aanvaar word dat Eskom die beste pryse moontlik sal kry en dit kan wees dat die koste afgebring kan word na ongeveer R2,5 miljoen. Dit is steeds nie vir enige Jan Rap en sy maat se beursie om dit uit te haal vir ‘n stel bande nie!

Stanford Lake Col-lege pupils took up the challenge of the Jeep Warrior Race which took place at Hakahana Trails in Hartbeespoort. More than 3 000 participants, either competing solo or in teams of two to eight, left at ten minute intervals throughout the day.

The atmosphere was explosive! The Stanford fl ock consisted of Owen Venter and Aidan du Preez competing solo. Aidan fi nished

third overall in the Commando race. Da-vid Ruthvin and Casper Venter competed as a team and won the u.15 category for the Com-mando race.

The student three-per-son team consisted of Megan du Preez, Lara Dando and Tanweer Ghood whilst a staff team of Marmari Piet-erse, JJ Gallagher and

Tiaan Fullard also took part. It was a fun day out and the pupils can’t wait for the next one.

Tussen die afskop van Vrydagoggend se eerste wedstryd in Nieu-Seeland en die eindfl uitjie op Nuweland sal TV-kykers in die eerste nege wedstryde van die lang seisoen ʼn voorsmaak van dosyne skouspelagtige drieë en witwarm mededinging kry.

Die Lions speel in Japan teen die Sunwolves, die Cheetahs kry in Bloemfontein met die Argentynse Jaguares te doen en die Sharks gaan toets die Kings in Port Elizabeth in wedstryde wat belangrike vrae moet beantwoord.

Vir ʼn verandering van spyse kan TV-kykers op Sesnasierugby, verskeie groot tennis- en gholftoernooie, motorfi etswedrenne in Australië en die Tokio-marathon inskakel.

In Palm Beach, Florida, speel Ernie Els en Rory Sabbatini in die Honda Classic, ʼn toernooi wat hulle in 2008 en 2011 onderskeidelik gewen het. Branden Grace, Retief Goosen, Dawie van der Walt en Tyrone van Aswegen ding ook om vanjaar se eerste prys van omtrent R17 miljoen mee.

Tydens die geesvang vir die Vossies se in-terhoër in Germiston (verlede week) het mnr Chris Denysschen (die Vossies se hoof) die atlete sterkte toegewens. Elke atleet wat gaan deelneem het, het ‘n handdoek van die skool ontvang — ter erkenning vir hul harde en getroue oefenprogram.

Die T20-krieketreeks is voortgesit met Hoër-skool Merensky en Stanford Lake College se eerste spanne wat op Stanford se tuisveld kragte gemeet het.

Merensky het eerste gekolf en 183 lopies aangeteken. AJ Fourie en Timothy Elphin-stone het uitstekend gekolf met onderskeide-lik 53 en 47 lopies. Stanford kon in hul beurt net 87 lopies aanteken, nadat Viraj Devdhara en Timothy Elphinstone onderskeidelik 3 en 2 paaltjies laat kantel het. Merensky het die wedstryd met 66 lopies gewen.

Tydens die Superliga-reeks het die Plasies se eerste- en o.15-spanne teen Pietersburg

Hoërskool te staan gekom. Die eerste spanne het op PHS se veld gespeel. PHS klop Meren-sky met 30 lopies. Merensky se Richard Cole-man het ‘n noemenswaardige 3 paaltjies laat val en Viraj Devdhara 2. Salmaan Ishani het sy merk gemaak deur te sorg vir 67 lopies op die telbord.

Merensky se o.15-span het op hul tuisveld teen PHS vasgeval. Hulle het 150 lopies vir 10 paaltjies aangeteken, terwyl PHS dit kon reg-kry om 151 lopies vir 2 paaltjies aan te teken. Doran Kleynhans en Rinus Jacobs het onder groot druk 30 lopies aangeteken, en Gerhar-dus Fourie het 2 paaltjies laat kantel.

Numerous Stanford pupils took part in the Makulu Mountain Bike Challenge. This is an early season event and a chance for the riders to get an idea of their race readiness ahead of a busy season later in the year. The riders were too strong for their opposition and ex-ceeded all expectations with some exceptional results. Paul Dando was the over-all winner of the 35 km,

with Robert Retief fi nish-ing 2nd overall. Lara Dan-do fi nished 1st in her age category, with Robin Lacey 2nd. Anke Vaughn also fi n-ished 2nd in her age cate-gory with Sarah Pogrund coming in 1st in the same age category. Aidan du Preez and Austin Johnson fi nished 4th and 5th re-spectively in their age cat-egories. Seen in the photos are Lara Dando and Paul Dando with Robert Retief.

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

In ander omstandighede sou Oubal erg opgewonde gewees het oor die Super18-rakbie wat vandag afskop, maar Oubal het net te veel bedenkings.

Soos die meeste kenners, asook Bobby Skinstad, dink Ou-bal Superrakbie was op sy beste toe daar net twaalf spanne was, ongeag die feit dat die reisreëlings SA spanne meestal tweede laat kom het — en heel dikwels ook elfde en twaalf-de. Op aandrang van SA is die aantal spanne egter ver-meerder, om ons ‘n vyfde span in die kompetisie te gee en mett ertyd het daar ook nog twee Aussie-spanne bygekom. Niemand het blykbaar opgelet dat die gehalte met vyft ien spanne so verwater het dat die bykomstige spanne eintlik maar net die getalle volgemaak het nie.

‘Tja, en toe die dilemma van ‘n politieke beloft e aan die Kings ten alle koste opgelos moes word, vind die organi-seerders dit goed om die kompetisie verder te vergroot na

agtien spanne in AD 2016. Nie alleen sit ons nou plaaslik met verdere verwatering nie, maar die kompetisie moes op-gebreek word in vier groepe om dit werkbaar te maak en spanne gaan nie meer teen al die ander speel nie.

So gaan net die helft e van ons spanne teen NZ-spanne speel-kans kry en die ander helft e net teen Aussie-spanne. Oubal sien groot ontnugterings vir die drie van ons spanne wat uiteinde-lik die uitspeelrondes gaan haal, nie net vanweë die formaat van die groepfase nie, maar ook die gebrek aan plaaslike diepte.

Oubal lees in verlede Sondag se GASK* dat daar nou meer SA spelers in Europa speel as wat daar in totaal deur ons ses S18 spanne gekontrakteer is. Was dit maar ‘n geval dat die oorsese spe-lers net uit jou Victor Matfi elds en Jean de Villierse bestaan het, sou dit nie ‘n probleem gewees het nie, maar dit sluit Bokke soos Duane Vermeulen en jong spelers soos Johan Goosen en Paul Wil-lemse in — spelers wat waarde kon

toevoeg tot ons plaaslike spanne.Hoe dit ook al sy, Oubal het baie moeite gedoen om agter

die kap van die nuwe S18 se formaat te kom, en soos die meeste dagblaaie het hy beplan om vir sy paar lesers ‘n verduideliking te gee van hoe die opset gaan werk. Helaas, Oubal het tot die besef gekom dat hy nie intelligent genoeg is om sin te maak van hierdie modderwaterspul nie. Oubal bedoel, waddehel is ‘n Sonwolf, en hoe reis jy minder as jy

in Tokio, Singapoer en Buenos Aires moet gaan speel?

Einde ten laaste het Oubal ou ArthurIngels-man gevra om ‘n skematiese voorstelling te gee van hoe die kompetisie gaan werk, en dit is waarmee hy vorendag gekom het:

Sterkte met die ontsyfering. Oubal dink, soos hy, sal die meeste lesers dit ook onder die knie hê teen die tyd dat die eindfl uitjie in die eindstryd blaas!
