Perdeliefhebber erg emosioneel na hy self sy liefl ing Arabier moes uitsit na koeëlwond

“Toe ek na my perd aangestap kom, waar sy dodelik verwond in die veld gelê het, het sy nog saggies vir my

gerunnik, so asof sy desperaat vir oulaas dalk tog nog hulp van my vra. Dit ruk aan ‘n man se hart om jou edel, troue dier só te moet sien.”

Bekende perdeliefhebber en

deelnemer aan talle uithou- en pretritte, mnr. Tielman van den Berg, van Rondebosch by Louis Trichardt, was vandeesweek nog merkbaar aangedaan toe hy praat oor die dood van sy pragdier Colette, ‘n 10-jarige Arabier merrie, wat verlede Dinsdag weens ‘n ernstige koëlwond uitgesit moes word. Die perd se waarde word op R20 000 gestel.

Die oorsprong van die fatale koeëlwond is nog onbekend. Plaasmense sê hulle het die middag om-streeks 15:00 ‘n knal gehoor uit die N1 se rigting, waar verskeie ander huise staan.

Van den Berg het drie perde op sy 10-hektaar hoewe aangehou. Hulle kom elke dag omstreeks 17:00 uit die weiveld terug stal toe, waar hulle saans kos kry en slaap. Hy het Dinsdagaand onraad ge-merk toe die diere teen 18:00 nog nie opgedaag het nie. Hy het die perde gaan soek en hulle sowat 600 meter vanaf die huis en ongeveer 100 meter vanaf die lyndraad, aan die suidekant van die hoewe, langs die N1 gevind. Colette, ‘n grys Arabier mer-rie, kon nie beweeg nie.

“Ek het gevind haar linker voorbeen is vanaf die skouer tot op die hoef vol droë bloed. Haar blad was ook erg geswel. Haar been was af. Sy kon glad nie daarop staan nie. Woensdagoggend het ek haar aangetref waar sy op die grond lê. Sy het baie moeilik opgestaan en ek het toe vir die eerste keer die klein koeëlwond op haar bors gesien, waaruit vars bloed gekom het. Die perd het gestaan en bewe van die pyn met die geswelde blad en die been wat af is in die blad,” vertel Van den Berg. Die twee ander perde het deurentyd by haar in die veld gebly.

“Hulle is merkwaardige tropdiere. Hulle vlug of veg altyd saam,” sê Tielman.

Saam met sy buurman, Danie Louw, het hulle vasgestel dat die koeël nêrens weer uit is nie, dat die been morsaf was en dat die dier op geen manier gered kon word nie.

(Vervolg van p. 1)Die afgelope vyf jaar het daar

‘n hegte band tussen hom en dié perd ontstaan. Hulle het saam aan talle uithouritte deelgeneem en goeie prestasies behaal. Die afgelope meer as twee jaar het hy egter net aan plesierritte deelgeneem. Hy praat met heim wee oor Colette.

“Mens het twee keer elke

dag ten nouste met so ‘n dier te maak. Elke oggend en elke aand is daar spesiale sorg en onder-soek mens jou perd om seker te maak sy is gesond, skoon van bosluise en beserings.Ons perdemense is erg oor ons perde. Sy was ‘n fyngeteelde edeldier,” sê Van den Berg. Hy praat moeilik verder oor die hartseer, die trauma, die pyn oor

die verlies van ‘n sierlike dier, met wie daar ook ‘n besonderse kameraadskap bestaan het.

Hy het darem een troos: “Colette het vir my ‘n pragtige, pikswart vul van vier maande oud agtergelaat. Ons sal hom met groot sorg grootmaak.”

Die skietvoorval word intus-sen verder ondersoek.

Dixi’s Nails will bring fash-ion to your fingertips and let them do the talking this season.

Managed by owner Elze-Marie Taute du Preez, Dixi’ Nails, situated at Dixi’s Basket in Tshirululuni Street, offers a wide variety of nail treatments. This also includes the regular manicures and pedicures.

Elze-Marie decided to incor-porate the nail department with her existing business after she

completed her nail technician course in January this year.

This enabled her to give a full range of nail treatments, including acrylic, gel, silk and fibre and revolution sculpture nails.

What really sets her apart, however, is the exiting new 3D Nail Art Printer service that she also provides. Elize-Marie is the sole agent in the Limpopo Province for 3D Nail Art.

This printer allows clients

to personalize their finger- and toenails. Clients can either choose images from an exten-sive gallery, or add their own digital images to be printed directly onto their real or arti-ficial nails.

“There are no boundaries to your creativity; the sky is the limit, and when you reach that, you can even print that on your nails,” says Elze-Marie.

Additionally, the nail printer can also customize other ob-jects such as fresh fruit, flowers (especially roses), cellphones and pens. “Basically, anything you can fit into the printer,” explains Elze-Marie.

Then, for those who are stressed out or suffering from muscle pain, Elze-Marie of-fers the Master Care Swedish Back Care System. With this system, the back, knees, neck and shoulders are re-aligned by transforming your body weight into traction, which relieves disc and joint pains.

Business hours are from 08:00 until 20:00 on week-days and by appointment on Saturdays.

For appointments, phone Elze-Marie at 079 047 0908.

The MEC for Co-operative Government, Hu-man Settlements and Traditional Affairs (CoG-STA), Mr Clifford Motsepe, promised that he would make sure that all municipalities in the province achieved a clean audit report. Motsepe was speaking during the official inauguration of the newly appointed mayor of Makhado Munici-pality at an event that was held at the Vyeboom sports grounds on Tuesday.

He said that no excuses would be tolerated in this regard. “I will be working closely with the municipalities in ensuring that we strengthen and instil good financial management,” said Motsepe. “We must all be crusaders of good governance. Our clean audit goals are an objective we must achieve,” he said.

Officially inaugu-rating the new mayor, Motsepe said that all audit queries raised by the auditor general (AG) must be attended to with immediate effect. “Gone are those days when au-dit reports remained un-attended year after year. Makhado Municipality has been the worst-per-forming municipality in the province for the past eight financial years. There is no time and we must ensure that the work begin in earnest right now. We must ensure that, by 2014, all municipalities achieve a clean audit. We need to do things differently in local government indeed,” Motsepe said.

He lashed out at lazy councillors and admin-istrators. He told the new mayor: “Among your responsibilities as a political leader is the provision oversight and monitoring. This remains a challenge not only in this municipality, but in many munici-palities in the province.”

Motsepe added that, year after year, the AG found that councillors interfered with supply chain

management processes or the appointment of staff in the organisation. “Councillors are forbidden from partaking in supply management processes,” he warned. Motsepe congratulated the new mayor and urged him to work hard, together with all councillors, in ensuring that services are rendered to the people.

Traditional leader Khosi-Pfareli Vho-Lilian Netshimbupfe wished Mutavhatsindi all the best with his appointment. For the first time in the his-tory of Makhado Municipality, SAMWU members attended the inauguration of the mayor.

Meanwhile the chairperson of SAMWU, Mr Elvis Tlou, said that his organisation was satis-fied with the new changes in leadership at the

municipality. “The new mayor must ensure that workers have working tools in order for them to be able to do their jobs,” Tlou said.

In his response, the new mayor, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, said that he was very cognisant of the serious responsi-bility given to him and members of his council. “We accept this respon-

sibility willingly. Our responsibility as council is to act now and act decisively on matters that concern improving the quality of the lives of our people,” he said.

He added that the municipality would expand the provision of water and the quality-testing programme in the main town, R293 towns and rural areas.

“We shall increase our collective efforts in part-nership with the Vhembe District Municipality to ensure that the bulk water supply to our municipal-ity is realised within a set time frame. This would address existing backlogs and water interruptions,” Mutavhatsindi said.

Tap water in six of the 12 wa-ter-supply systems of Vhembe District is of excellent quality and safe to drink. These water supply systems are Makhado (Louis Trichardt), Malamulele, Mutale, Musekwa, Mutshedzi and Tshifire.

The water in Musina, Tho-hoyandou, Elim, Kutama and Thsedza is generally safe to drink but with some recorded microbiological failures.

Nzhelele’s water did not com-ply with the expected standards.

These findings are recorded in the results of the 2012 Blue Drop Certification Programme (BDCP). The overall results were announced by Water and Environmental Affairs Minister Edna Molewa on Monday.

The overall national Blue Drop assessment score improved from 72.9% in 2011 to 87.6% in 2012.

Limpopo is in the middle (fifth) of the nine provinces, with a score of 79.4%, improving on their 54% of 2009. Gauteng is first with 98.1% and Mpuma-langa is the worst performer with 60.9%

Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) is fourth in the province, with a score of 74,85% and is in position 67 on the national log. In 2011, VDM scored 45.87% and was the 101st municipality on the national log.

Malamulele had the highest Blue Drop score (78.39%) in Vhembe, and increased their

performance of last year by more than 31%. Mutale followed closely with a Blue Drop score of 77.17% (more than 27% in-crease). Musina scored 76.95% after a whopping improvement of just under 45%. Mutshedzi scored 72.26% (an increase of just above 26%), Tshifhire got 71.77% (an increase of just above 38%), Makhado (Louis Trich-ardt) scored 70.59% (an increase of nearly 26%) and Tshedza 67.97% (an increase of nearly 29%). Musekwa, with its Blue Drop score of 58.37%, showed the greatest improvement, just above 48%. The three poorest-performing systems also showed improvements. Elim improved by 24% to 53.79%, Kutama scored 46.40% (an improvement of just above 25%) and Nzhelele got 44.08% after an improvement of nearly 32%.

The report by the Department of Water Affairs gives credit for the improvements. “The 2012 Blue Drop scores for Vhembe District Municipality indicate the significant achievement of improvement in performance for every water supply system within the water service author-ity’s area of jurisdiction,” the department said.

Drinking-water quality com-pliance forms 30% of the Blue Drop score. Other areas that are assessed are water safety plan-ning, treatment process manage-ment, management accountabil-

ity and local regulation and asset management.

The report warns that “there remain shortcomings that require attention over the next assess-ment cycle to ensure the tap water quality management” in VDM. Their incident management pro-tocol must be amended to include subject matter more relevant to drinking water quality and not only emergencies in general.

Another challenge was the number of water-quality results. “The number of data sets (water-quality results) per supply sys-tem, and detail of the water safety plans, does not allow for an easy determination of what influenced the number of samples per water supply system,” states the report.

The department further en-couraged VDM to develop and implement risk-based monitoring programmes according to SANS 241 (South African National Standards) requirements. “The department could not allocate full scores under the drinking-water quality compliance criteria since the municipality could not pres-ent evidence of a full SANS 241 analysis that would indicate key risk determinants. The chemical-monitoring programmes mostly catered for fluoride, iron and manganese; this would be regard-ed as inadequate in areas where mining activity is prevalent,” the report states.

Blue Drop states most water is excellent

The Blue Drop Performance comparator of Limpopo shows Vhembe District Municipality in the fourth position. The chart has been adapted to show only the top four municipalities. Drinking water quality compliance is one of five performance areas of the Blue Drop Assessments. In the chart, the five areas are shown for each of the four municipalities in the order (from the top) of asset management, management commitment, drinking water quality (DWQ) compliance, process control management and water safety planning. At the bottom, the percentages can be seen. (Graphic adapted from 2012 Blue Drop Report).

Crime


Limpopo police have arrested six sus-pects over the past weekend in Louis Trichardt and Thohoyandou believed to be involved in a human-trafficking syndicate.

According to a police report, the organised criminal syndicate, which includes five Ethiopian men and one In-dian man, aged between 26 and 37 years, were arrested by Musina detectives on Saturday and rescued 47 Ethiopian men who were allegedly destined to be sold as slaves in the province.

The group of 47 men allegedly arrived sometime last week in Musina. They were smuggled out of the refugee centre under mysterious circumstances and taken to different “safe” houses in Louis Trichardt and Thohoyandou.

The syndicate’s illegal activities were uncovered on Saturday after a relative opened a kidnapping case. The com-plainant told police that the group had been smuggled into the country and that

five of his family members out of the 47 were allegedly being held against their will. He had been ordered to pay R10 000 for their release.

The police organised a sting operation through which the complainant was in contact with the syndicate members. This culminated in a meeting at a well-known car dealership in Louis Trichardt. The complainant was in possession of the R10 000, which led to the arrest of two of the suspects and the rescue of the man’s five family members.

After being questioned by the po-lice, the suspects directed them to four other syndicate members who were in Golgotha, Thohoyandou. They were apprehended, after which they led the police to a house next to the University of Venda, where the remaining 42 victims were rescued.

The victims were found in good health and are currently being kept at a safe place, pending the outcome of the

investigation. The six suspects, all of whom have businesses in Thohoyandou, are being investigated for additional links with similar activities in other countries.

Limpopo Police Commissioner Lieu-tenant-General Simon Mpembe has laud-ed the police actions and reinforced the province’s resolve to fight any form of criminality. Mpembe said the organizers of these ventures were taking advantage of vulnerable people and putting their lives at risk. “We will not turn a blind eye to the exploitation of innocent people in our own backyard. Human traffick-ing is modern-day slavery, and the law must show no mercy on these heartless criminals,” he said.

The six suspects appeared in the Musi-na Magistrate’s Court on Monday. They each face 47 charges of kidnapping. They were not asked to plead and their cases were postponed until 14 May, pending further police investigation. They remain in custody.

Neem verlof om in tou te staan

Die toneel by die Makhado Munisipaliteit waar lede van die publiek vir ure in lang toue moes wag.

Daar is tye wat die toue by die Ma kha do Munisipaliteit net nie na wense vorder nie. Een so ‘n dag was verlede Donderdag, 3 Mei. Die toue by die betalingspunt van mu-nisipale rekenings het by die deure uitgestaan.

By die lisensie afdeling het lede van die publiek gesit … en gesit ...

Onderwyser me. Luzelle Wahl het verlof vir die dag ingesit om haar pu-blie ke lisensie te kry om die minibus van die skool te kan bestuur.

“Ek het al op 5 April met die lisen-sie se oogtoets begin. Die volgende dag het ek die betaling gaan doen. Dan moet jy ten minste vyf dae wag en kom hoor of jou vingerafdrukke reg uitgekom het. Ek sit al hier van vanoggend af en hier is net een kas-siere wat die algemene publiek help. Die ander een help net besighede en handelaars. Ek is seker daar is ‘n vin-niger en makliker manier. In Mossel-baai het ek my pa se lisensie gedoen en dit was so vinnig en maklik,” het Wahl gesê.

Wahl het die hoop uitgespreek dat

die nuwe burgemeester die stelsel sal laat ondersoek en verander.

In dieselfde tou as Wahl het mense gesit vir hul motorlisensieskyfies, leerlinglisensie betalings, publieke vervoerlisensies en registrasie van voertuie.

Mnr. Johan Jansen het al van 07:30 daar gesit en wag vir die toets-beampte, want hy is meegedeel dat dit net dié betrokke persoon is wat sy vingerafdrukke mag neem. Die toetsbeampte het kom sê dat hy net na agtuur daar sal wees. Teen 12:30 het Jansen nog daar gewag. Hy het die vorige dag sy lisensie geslaag.Die munisipale woordvoerder, mnr. Louis Bobodi, is op 3 Mei geroep. Die probleem is onder sy aandag gebring en hy is gevra om antwoorde te gee. Op 7 Mei het Bobodi gesê dat hy nie kan belowe dat hy die antwoorde op die vrae wat deurgestuur is betyds sal kan gee nie, want hy het belangriker dinge om te doen. Dit was hierdie week die inhuldiging van die nuwe burgemeester. Teen druktyd was daar nog geen antwoorde nie.

The six suspects arrested over the weekend for allegedly being involved in a human-trafficking syndicate. Although they did appear in court on Monday, they were not asked to plead en therefore their identities cannot be revealed. Photo supplied.

Awards

The Louis Trichardt Post Of-fice has maintained its track record as the best post office in Limpopo.

Louis Trichardt Post Office achieved a score of 99,78% conformance to operational stan-dards during the latest assessment by the post office. With that, the Louis Trichardt Post Office achieved close to a 100% for the third time in a row.

Ndala Mnisi, group executive in charge of post office outlets, presented a special trophy to

Louis Trichardt Post Office for this achievement. Mnisi says he is very proud of the team at the Louis Trichardt Post Office.

“The aim of the oversight programme, where we check the extent to which post offices con-form to operational requirements, is to improve customer service.”

Mnisi says the programme also looks at queue lengths, customer compliments and suggestions, right down to the cleanliness of the branch – everything that af-fects the customer’s experience.

Dries Rossouw, branch man-ager at the Louis Trichardt Post Office, attributes the success of the branch to team work. “This is not one person’s trophy,” he says.

“We received this award be-cause we all work together to give our customers a better ex-perience.” The Louis Trichardt Post Office does an average of 1 400 transactions per day and has seven postmen who deliver around 16 000 mail items per week to the town. (Article and photos supplied)

A resident of Tshikwarani in the Kutama area is being held captive in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum.

Thabo Siavhe (28), together with three other humanitarian relief workers, was captured by North Sudanese soldiers while doing landmine clearance work on a United Nations contract. The four are said to have entered the wrong territory while busy with their duties, said a representative of the Sudanese government.

Siavhe is an employee of the state-owned Denel-Mechem company in Cape Town and, together with his colleague from Sudan, was deployed to Sudan to be “part of a UN task team responsible for the lifting of landmines and the destruction of unexploded remnants of the recent civil war between the two countries,” Denel Mechem CEO Ashley Williams told Mail & Guardian Online last week.

There has been an on-going clash between South Sudan and Sudan, and now the two Denel-Mechem employees are sus-pected of being military advisors to South Sudan. They are thought to have come to collect explosive debris for investigation purposes. Because of this allegation, the four men are being investigated and no foreign consul has been granted access to them yet.

Back at home, Siavhe’s fam-ily is worrying about their loved one’s health and safety in the hands of the Sudanese soldiers. “It’s painful to have seen your brother in March and now, in

May, you’re told that he is pos-sibly suffering in a foreign land,” said Lindiwe Siavhe, holding Siavhe’s son in her arms.

On Saturday, the Siavhe family received professional counselling for them to remain strong in this time of pain and uncertainty. “We pray day and night for our son to be released,” said Siavhe’s moth-er, Johanna Mahlangu-Siavhe (54), when the Zoutpansberger visited the family on Sunday. “I’ve not known how food tastes since we received news of his arrest in that far-away place. Thabo is a good son. We can’t imagine his being involved in bad activities.”

The Kutama Traditional Au-thority has been in contact with the South African ambassador in Sudan, and the council says they were told that Siavhe is in good health. “They say he might be released this week,” said the Kutama Traditional Authority’s chairperson, Mr MG Muofhe. “We’re also making a call for all people to start praying for Thabo’s safety and release.”Thabo Siavhe (28).

Omgewingsnuus

Baba in hospitaal ná spinnekopbyt‘n Onlangse geval waar ‘n eenjarige baba in die hospitaal geëindig het ná ‘n giftige spin-nekopbyt, het weereens dié agtvoetige lede van die diereryk in die kalklig geplaas.

Vir ouers Henk en Rita Cloete van Bela Bela was dit ‘n nagmerrie ondervinding. Hulle is dankbaar dat hul babadogter, Luané, wat middel April deur ‘n giftige sakspinnekop gebyt is, weer gesond is. Dit danksy ‘n stewige dosis sterk anti biotika en celes ta mien, wat genadig lik gekeer het dat ’n abses ont-staan het of ernstige weef sel-ska de ingetree het. Haar beterskap het egter gevolg op ‘n weeklange angstydperk van dokter- en hospitaalbesoeke.

Vol gens Inter net-bron ne oor spin ne kop-pe, is die sak spinne kop ver ant woor de lik vir die meeste spinne kop byte by mense. Hulle gif is sito tok sies, wat bete ken dat die gif op die wond self in werk, en selle en weef sel ver nietig. Die byt plek vorm ook blase.

Die sak spinne kop is vale rig tot lig groen, en die alge meenste soort wat in huise ge vind word. Hulle het op merk-like lang voor pote wat voren toe wys. Hulle is lief daar voor om in gor dyne, la kens en sagte mate riaal soos bed dens

te kruip.Die sak spinne kop se byt is aan vank lik pyn loos,

maar die gif ver oor saak ’n abses. In uiterste ge valle sweer die wond en is ’n vel oor plan ting nodig. Nog simp tome sluit in hoof pyn en koors. Die byt plek is ge woonlik aan vank lik sig baar as twee gele rige

knop pies.Kun diges maan egter dat

mense nie spinne-koppe voor die voet moet dood-

maak nie, om-dat veral die sak spinne kop eintlik baie w a a r d e v o l is vir boere, want hul le

help met pes-be heer.

Die sakspinnekop is valerig tot liggroen, en die algemeenste soort wat in huise gevind word.

Só het Luané se been gelyk, nadat sy deur ‘n giftige sakspinnekop gebyt is.

Leerlinge van die Levubu CVO-skool moes tydens hul onlangse temadag ‘n letter kies uit die woord BCVO en daarvolgens aantrek. Die “showstopper” was juffrou Ansie Erasmus (voor op die vloer) wat die B gekies het en as ‘n Boer by die skool opgedaag het. Foto verskaf.

Every now and again in life, we are presented with an opportunity which, at first glance, doesn’t make itself abundantly obvious.

As a result, we are inclined to ignore it and let it slip through our fingers.

But, as time goes by, it becomes apparent that this was the proverbial gift horse and we go on to kick ourselves for not seizing it with both hands when we had the chance.

One such opportunity is the Classic 5 Investment Collection from Old Mutual.

Five hand-picked unit trusts that will deliver returns you never dreamed possible in years to come.

Even setting aside a small monthly amount now can mean a big payout in the future, thanks to the power of compounding over time.

And if you’re feeling commitment anxiety, don’t!

• Unit trusts do not lock you in.• You can get access to your money in one day – without penalties.• You can miss monthly payments. Also, no penalties.• And no upfront admin fees, so your money works from day one.

Like all opportunities in life, the sooner you grab this one, the better.

The children of Ridgeway Independent School outside Louis Trichardt were happy to meet their mascot, Rico,on 5 May at the school’s cultural fun day. In front, holding Rico, are Casper-John Venter (left) and Marco Marcos, who pioneered the school’s project to save the rhino. Their financial contribution to the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) is used for Rico’s intensive training to sniff out rhino horn and ivory. At the back is Rico’s trainer from the Airport Company Transportation Security (ACTS) firm in Johannesburg, Mr Ernest Taylor, better known as ET. “Rico comes from Germany. He is about two years old and used to be at ‘Search and Rescue’. Because he is so happy, noisy and lively, we took him out. His temperament and high drive for a ball are excellent for his current training,” ET said. The principal, Ms Magriet Swanepoel, said that the day was a fundraiser for their hall-building project and that a percentage would go to EWT. She expressed her gratitude towards all the sponsors and the community for supporting the event.

Makhado Mayor Cllr David Mutavhatsindi (second from right) cuts the ribbon to declare the Makhado Municipal Library officially open. Looking on are Ms Nickey van Zyl (left), Mr Ernest Raphalalani (second from left) and the acting municipal manager, Mr Elias Mugari (right).

Joy as municipal library finally re-opensThe Makhado municipal library in Louis Trichardt has officially reopened after being closed for renovations for almost six months. The library was opened by the Makhado Mu-nicipality’s mayor, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, last Wednesday.

Mutavhatsindi said that having realised that the library was old and starting to deteriorate, the municipality took a decision to renovate it. He said that the roof was leaking and, as a result, this was endangering the books. Mutavhatsindi said that the municipality had spent R455 000 on the renova-tions. “We had to replace the carpets and renovate the ablution block as well,” he said.

Library users were over the moon when they heard the news that the library had reopened again.

Ms Nickey van Zyl is one of the regular library users who expressed her happiness. She was the first to enter the library, following the reopening. Mutavhatsindi apologised for the inconvenience caused during the renovation process.

‘n Jarelange inwoner van Louis Trichardt, mnr. Willie Cronjé, is op 1 Mei in die ouderdom van 79 jaar oorlede.

Die familie het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor almal wat medelye uitgespreek teenoor hulle in hul tyd van hartseer. Foto verskaf.

Family and friends this week mourn the sudden death of the 35-year-old Morné Nel, better know as Oscar, of Louis Trichardt. Oscar passed away on 4 May. A funeral service will be held for him on 11 May at 10:30 at the St Mark’s Anglican Church in Munnik Street.

Furious residents of Nancefield in Musina are demanding the immediate resignation of Mayor Carol Phiri and the mu-nicipal council’s Chief Whip, Simon Madamalala.

The demand, contained in a memorandum which was also sent to the office of the MEC for Local Government and Housing, was repeated this week during public meetings in the Klopper Stadium in Nancefield on Mon-day and Tuesday.

One meeting was held after the arrest by Musina SAPS of various residents during Sunday night, including almost the entire management of the Musina Resi-dents Representative Committee (MRRC), the organizers of a pro-test march to the municipal offic-es. The demand was repeated at the police station and at the court where the detainees were brought on Tuesday, without any charges being brought against them. Immediately after they were brought from the police cells to the court, the prosecutor ruled that they should be taken back to be released without bringing them before court. They were only released by the police some three hours later. According to witnesses, the ruling for their release was originally given by the prosecutor on Monday.

This came in the midst of mounting tension between resi-dents and the municipality, which led to repeated demonstrations. People allegedly protested at the houses of two officials on Sunday. According to provincial SAPS spokesperson Col Ronel Otto, the police acted on allega-tions of public violence.

The demand for the resigna-

tion of the mayor and the chief whip was met with this reply from the mayor’s office: “The mayor and the Chief Whip have been deployed by their political party after the local government elections.”

Infuriated demonstrators ear-lier burnt an ANC T-shirt bearing the image of the Chief Whip at the municipal buildings. This happened two weeks ago after the mayor’s office refused to accept the memorandum presented at the end of a lawful march organized by the MRRC in collaboration with the SAPS and the munici-pality. Demonstrators responded with a “Voetsek” song, giving vent to indignation at what they rejected as “the totally unaccept-able arrogance of the mayor and the Chief Whip”.

The memorandum contains wide-ranging questions, some relating to serious allegations of corruption, especially in the handling of RDP housing and the appointment of municipal officials. According to MRRC chairperson Mshudu Ndou, the mayor’s office apologized last Monday for the earlier refusal to accept the memorandum and presented written answers to the memorandum, which was originally handed to her after a demonstration in March this year.

Anger welled up again after news was received of what was described as equally arrogant remarks in the written reply. On several queries in the memo-randum the MRRC, instead of being served with appropriate answers, they are instructed by the mayor’s office to “Attend IDP meetings and read municipal publications”, to get their infor-

mation from imbizos, ward com-mittee meetings, from previously published advertisements and, in the case of rumours about the dates on and the way in which the mayor obtained her learner’s and driver’s licences: “Information available on request at the traffic station.”

Almost every allegation of corrupt dealings referred to in the memorandum is dismissed with a challenge to provide proof as a precondition to any investigation. A request for the creation of a task team to listen to and address problems that people have concerning housing is dismissed with the statement: “An affective(sic) housing unit is attending to all housing needs in this municipality.” An enquiry about the reasons for the resigna-tion of a large number of traffic officials in Musina is answered with: “Conditions for employ-ment are a private matter between the employee and employer.

This is purely an administra-tive issue.” In the same way, a request for a report on all posi-tions advertised and filled since the new council was inaugurated, requesting post requirements, a list of candidates interviewed and score sheets of those finally appointed, is answered with: “This is purely an administrative issue. Administrators report to Council.”

In his address to residents as-sembled at the Klopper stadium, shortly after his release from police detention, Ndou called on residents to remain calm and await further developments. The angry call for the two officials’ speedy resignation was, however, even louder than before.

“Bietjies, bietjies raak dit al hoe erger,” sê mnr. Kallie Röttcher, wat op een van die Rondebosch plase net buite Louis Trichardt boer. Hy verwys na letterlik kilometer-lange seksies van sy heiningdrade wat meer en meer platlê aangesien die ysterpale wat dit moet regop hou kronies gesteel word. Op dele van sy plaas is dit net bosse wat die heiningdraad nog stut.

“Dit is ‘n onheil!” sê Röttcher. Sy grootste vrees is sy beeste wat kan uitkom. Röttcher sê hy rapporteer die diefstalle nie eens meer aan die polisie nie. “Jy mors jou tyd. Dit gebeur in elk geval so gereeld,” sê hy.

Intussen spook Röttcher om die pale wat gesteel word, te vervang. Sowat ses weke gelede, sê hy, het hy by ‘n skrootmetaalonderne-ming sowat R9 000 se ysterpale gaan opkoop. Dit is juis dit wat hom ongelukkig maak. Hy meen die skrootmetaalondernemings skep ‘n mark vir die diewe om ontslae te raak van die ysterpale.

“Wie weet, dalk is dit my eie ys-terpale wat ek weer teruggekoop het,” sê Röttcher.

Maar is hierdie kritiek teen-oor skrootmetaal ondernemings geregverdig? Mev. Aurial Visser van LTT Scrap Metal stem nie saam nie.

“As ‘n verkoper ‘n afskrif van sy ID, sy naam en adres kan voorsien, is daar niks wat ons verhoed om skrootmetaal by hom te koop nie,” sê Visser. Dit, verduidelik sy, is egter nie van toepassing op die aankoop van Telkom, Eskom, Spoornet of myne se koperkabels, wat streng volgens wet verbied word nie. Elke skrootmetaalonderneming, sê Visser, weet presies wat hulle mag aankoop en wat nie.

Visser sê dat sy begrip het vir mense soos Röttcher se frustras-ie, maar meen dat dit baie moeilik vir hulle as onderneming is om te bepaal of die skrootmetaal wat hulle aankoop by iemand gesteel is. Dit is nog moeiliker as diefstalle nie by die polisie aangemeld word nie. In dié ver-band verduidelik sy dat hulle ‘n register hou van alle skrootmetaal wat aangekoop word en van wie dit aangekoop word. Dit is ook die prosedure by ander skroot-

metaalondernemings.“Die polisie kom kyk elke

Woensdag en Vrydag na ons boeke [register] en die skroot-metaal op ons persele,” sê Visser. Sy meen dit sou dan maklik gewees het om ‘n verdagte te identifiseer, sou dit aan die lig kom dat van die metaal gesteel is. Daar is mos ‘n register van wie die metaal verkoop het.

“My raad aan Röttcher is om die diefstalle te rapporteer. Hy kan ook sy ysterpale merk, sodat dit maklik identifiseerbaar is,” sê Visser. Sy het verskeie onderne-mings genoem wat reeds gebruik maak van dié merkprose dure.

“Ons weet nou al as metaal hier aankom met ‘n sekere merk op aan wie dit behoort. Dan bel ons die ondernemings om uit te vind of dit gesteel is. Baie ondernemings bel ons self en vra vir ons om op die uitkyk te wees vir sekere metale wat by hulle gesteel is,” sê Visser.

Visser het mense soos Rött cher uitgenooi om skrootmetaalonder-nemings te besoek en te kyk of hul gesteelde eiendom daar is. “Ek glo nie enige onderneming sal iemand weier om dit te doen nie,” sê Visser.

The guys from Round Table Zoutpansberg 66 in Louis Trichardt once again braved the winter cold, wearing only a denim and T-shirt, on Friday, 4 May, as part of their annual Winter Knights of Round Table charity event to highlight the plight of the less fortunate. As part of the event, which took place in the parking area at Makhado Crossing, residents were invited to bring them warm clothes, blankets and non-perishable food to be donated to the underprivileged. Pictured from left to right are Tablers Dirk Meissenheimer, Rudi Meissenheimer, André Muller (chairman), Johan Cronjé and Frans Vermaak. Muller expressed his gratitude towards all who supported them.

Boer knorrig oor ysterpale wat verdwyn

Van die manne wat daar was het Manne van die Woord se kamp op Friendschapsdal, Waterpoort, van 4 tot 6 Mei as “ongelooflik lekker” beskryf. “Mens wonder elke keer of daar iets nuuts gaan wees, maar hierdie keer was daar weer ‘n totaal nuwe aanslag,” sê kampganger Johan van Dijkhorst, wat gehou het van die “Gerig op die Woord” tema. Vaders het ook die geleentheid gekry om ‘n seën oor hulle seuns uit te spreek. Manne van die Woord bedank graag hul borge, Spar Louis Trichardt vir die etes, Limpopo Melkery vir die sap en Prima Slaghuis vir die vleishappies.

SLUITINGSDATUM: 15 Mei 2012

Ses van Laerskool Louis Trichardt se redenaars het deurgedring na die semi-finaal van die ATKV redenaarskompetisie op 1 Junie, waar die hele Limpopo se jong redenaars sake gaan uitspook om aan die Suid-Afrikaanse redenaarskompetisie by Klein Kariba deel te neem. Van links na regs is Cara van der Goot (Graad1), Cheyenne van Zyl (Graad 2), Sarisa van der Goot (Graad 3), Alida du Preez (Graad 5), Ronel Meiring (Graad 5) en Dewald Stroebel (Graad 7).

Stel jou voor …’n stuk of 215 jong redenaars wat almal op een middag hulle goed-uitgewerkte toesprake kom lewer. Om nie eens te praat van die redenaars wat vinnig ‘n standpunt kan in-neem tydens hul onvoorbereide toesprake nie.

Redenaars van 25 skole het op 4 Mei aan die Limpopo-Noord uitdun van die ATKV Rede-naarskompetisie by Laerskool Louis Trichardt deelgeneem. Die hoofbeoordelaar, Issie Venter van Pretoria, het saam met 39 beoordelaars van Pretoria en Limpopo vir die kinders punte gegee.

Ses van Laerskool Louis Trichardt se 15 inskry-wings het deurgedring na die semi-finaal op 1 Junie, waar die hele Limpopo se jong redenaars sake gaan uitspook om aan die nasionale redenaarskompetisie by Klein Kariba deel te neem.

In die kategorie vir Graad 1 tot 3 het Triegies se

Cara van der Goot gesê “ ’n Pa se blaf is erger as sy byt”, Sarisa van der Goot het gesê “Vandag se dogters is katte, glad nie skatte nie” en Cheyenne van Zyl se onderwerp was “Die beste troeteldier is die een wat blaf en miaau.” Hulle drie het deurge-dring na die semi-finaal.

In die kategorie vir Graad 4 tot 5 het die twee wat deurgedring het, albei die tema “hekke” ge-kies. Alida du Preez het die tema uitgebrei na die onderwerp “Almal kan die sportshek oopmaak” en Ronel Meiring het gesê “Hekke is die sleutel tot my menswees”.

Vanaf Graad 6 het die redenaars ook on-voorbereide toesprake gelewer, wat 70% van hul

finale punt getel het. Dewald Stroebel het in die kategorie Graad 6 tot 7 deurgedring met sy onder-werp “Die wurms wat ‘n mens nie kan sien nie”. Vir sy onvoorbereide toespraak het Dewald gewys dat hy vinnig op sy voete kan dink.

“Dit is verbasend met hoeveel selfvertroue die jong kinders praat. Die organisasie was regtig uitstekend. Ander skole se ouers het ons gekom-plimenteer daaroor en ook oor die netheid van ons terrein se tuine en geboue, “ sê ouer me. Elmien van der Goot.

Me. Sussa Ehlers was verantwoordelik vir die reëlings. Die semi-finaal word weer by die skool aangebied.

Tannie Stiena Prinsloo is op 7 Mei in Pretoria-Wes ná ´n kort siekbed in die ouderdom van 72 jaar oorlede. Sy was goed bekend in Louis Trichardt vir haar groot liefde vir tuinmaak, tuinversiering en feetjies. Sy was ook goed bekend onder die Venda-gemeenskap in Thohoyandou as ‘n liewe mens wat altyd uitgereik het na ander. Sy laat haar een seun en vier dogters met baie kleinkinders agter. Foto verskaf.

Vryf jou ore om beter te onthou “Jy is nooit te oud om jonger te word nie,” het Mae West gesê. Bejaardes van Ons Tuiste word “jonger” deur “Mind Moves” te doen om hul denke helder te hou.

Ons Tuiste is deur die Mind Moves Instituut in Johannesburg geïdentifiseer as een van twee ouetehuise waar die Mind Moves gratis aangebied word as ‘n proeflopie. Mind Moves is oefeninge wat spesifiek ontwikkel is om die brein, sintuie en spiere fiks te hou.

Een oefening wat die bejaardes – en natuurlik enige persoon – kan doen om kalm en rustig te word, is die “antenna-versteller”. Ons Tuiste se bejaardes het dit hierdie week Maandag aangeleer. Hulle het die arms opgelig en die oorskulp tussen die duim en voorvinger vasgehou, waarna hulle die hele oorskulp van albei ore gelyktydig van bo na onder met sirkelbewegings gemasseer het. Aanbieder me. Annelie Janse van Rensburg sê dat dié oefening balans, gehoor en geheue ontwikkel.

Annelie kom van Witbank en het by me. Max Naudé gehoor van Ons Tuiste, waar sy hierdie week die kursus oor vier dae aanbied. Elke kursusganger het ook die boekie, “Die glinster in my grysheid”, geskryf deur Melodie de Jager en uitgegee deur Mind Moves Instituut, as ‘n geskenk ontvang.

“Helderwakker” is nog ‘n oefening wat die bejaardes geniet. Hulle gooi die arms wyd oop en asem diep en stadig in, waarna hulle die arms oor die bors kruis asof hul hulself ‘n drukkie gee.Die “helderwakker” oefening bevorder “ontspanning, dieper asemhaling en die goedvoel-hormone”… en “is ‘n skitterende opkikker en met gereelde doen gee dit ook jou gesondheid ‘n hupstootjie,” skryf De Jager.

Die kursusgangers sê dat hulle baie baat vind by die Mind Moves.

“Ek is seker hierdie oefeninge gaan ons brein bietjie helder maak. Ek geniet dit verskriklik. Ja, en vyfuur in die oggend vryf ek my ore…” sê me. Anna van der Merwe (81).

Spreker Johnny Louw het tydens die vroue-aand op 3 Mei gesê dat die vrou die goddelike rol het om die “lewegewende een” te wees en dat sy in haar gesin en daarbuite lewe moet spreek. Die vroue-aand, aangebied deur Louis Trichardt se Manne van die Woord, het by die saal van die Laerskool Louis Trichardt plaasgevind. ‘n Paar van die vroue wat bydraes tot die aand se sukses gemaak het, staan saam met die nou-reeds-bekende herlewingspreker.

The Way, the Truth and the Life

The man God uses.

I read a testimony of Oswald J Smith where he prayed this prayer on his 38th

birthday:Lord, here are my hands; I consecrate

them to Thee. May they never touch anything that You would not have them touch, or do anything that would dishon-our You.

Here are my feet; I dedicate them to Thee. May they never go where You would not be seen.

Here, Lord, are my eyes. May they never look at anything that would grieve Your Holy Spirit.

May my ears never listen to anything dishonouring to Your Name.

May my mouth never be opened to speak a word that I would not want You to hear.

May my mind never retain a thought nor an imagination that would dim the sense of Your presence.

May my heart know no love, and cher-ish no feeling that is not of Thee. Amen.

To pray this prayer would be to ask God to make you a man or woman after His own heart.

The main thing in our lives is not what we achieve, but the lives we live, the thoughts we think.

We must walk closer to God. The apos-tle said: “Christ in you”. Christ wants us, not merely our service.

Open Letter to Makhado Municipality

Chairperson’s Association asks for transparency with new appointments

The Chairpersons Association, the author of this letter, consists

of 45 chairpersons of influential organisations and representatives of all the cultural groups, representing directly and indirectly, 90,000 people. The Chairpersons Association is a non-political group which focuses on good corporate governance as well as reconciliation and the unlocking of synergy among all cultural groups.

The Chairpersons Association is of the view that a municipal manag-er for Makhado Municipality should not be a political appointment, but rather a trained and skilled person who can motivate his staff to render proper services to the public in order to give value to the taxpayers of this area for the taxes they pay.

The Chairpersons Association is also of the opinion that if poor service delivery continues the way it is right now, people will turn to violent human rights actions and uproar, which will eventually bring government structures to a fall. It is therefore not in the interest of any governing organisation, the country, and/or the residents to appoint a municipal manager with his political affiliation as the only criterion. There is much more to the job description than an untrained, unskilled and inexperienced politi-cian can deal with. Nobody is done a favour by making a political ap-pointment only.

The Chairpersons Association is also of the opinion that the public within the Makhado Municipality, as far as service delivery is con-cerned, is not at all interested in politics but needs basic services to be rendered in respect of sewerage, water supply, proper roads, electrici-ty, and capitalization of programmes on an economically effective basis.

Therefore, it is important where the interests of the public and the taxpayers are at stake, that the public should participate in the processes of hiring the municipal manager. It is also clear that service delivery within the Makhado Municipality, if one looks at the

adverse audit reports, that this mu-nicipality’s performance is the worst in the whole of Limpopo and a seri-ous intervention should therefore be made through the appointment of experienced and skilled people. The officials who appoint these people will have to be held fully account-able if they appoint under-qualified people as a result of these people’s political affiliations.

The public, fortunately, is not ignorant anymore and understands where these appointments come from and who should be held responsible for such appointments. It is of vital importance that the resi-dents who contribute towards the revenue of the Makhado Municipal-ity and who are dependent on the services of the Makhado Munici-pality and government structures and are directly affected by the appointment of staff at the Makhado Municipality should be consulted. These people should also be af-forded an opportunity to raise their voices to object to or support the fairness of the process of employ-ing the municipal manager and the recruitment of senior managers and directors to portfolios.

The infrastructure at Makhado Municipality has collapsed to such an extent that one cannot rely on accurate statements being sent to the public anymore. The roads are in a terrible state; the sewage system is in a terrible state; the water supply is in a terrible state; tenders are being awarded to render services in respect of roads etc. to people who are not properly trained, thereby wasting millions of rands of taxpayers’ money. This is done because they are appointed based on friendship, nepotism and/or political affiliations. These are the standards according to which government structures are judged by the elector-ate, which does not hold a very fa-vourable view. Many of the officials who hold senior positions who are appointed at Makhado Municipality do not even stay within the bound-aries of the Makhado Municipality

Die O/14-hokkiespan van Hoër-skool Louis Trichardt bedank

graag vir Werda motors vir die gholf-hemde wat hulle geborg het.

Met hierdie blou hemde vertoon

die span baie netjies as hulle van en na wedstryde ry.

- Adri Denner(Hoërskool Louis Trichardt)

and therefore they do not have any sentiments towards the public of Makhado Municipality. The follow-ing persons are some examples:

(a) The previous municipal manager, Mr Tshikalange, lives in Thohoyandou. His contract was not renewed after expiry;

(b) The corporate services direc-tor, Ms Ndou, lives in Thohoyandou and not in the area of the Makhado Municipality;

(c) The technical services direc-tor, Mr Ralulimi, lives in Thohoy-andou;

(d) The development planning director, Ms Sinthumule, lives in Thohoyandou;

(e) The community services director, Mr Mugari, now the act-ing municipal manager, lives in Polokwane.

Appointments such as these are being made while we have excel-lent, qualified people within this area who can do the job much better, with much more motivation, where they will be directly held ac-countable to the public surrounding them in the area where they live.

You do understand that for the past three years, the Makhado Mu-nicipality has received a disclaimer from the Auditor General. It is a clear indication that the senior man-agement team is incapable and does not have the capacity to do their job. This should be understood against the background that these people had been appointed in these very senior positions, notwithstanding the fact that they had never worked at a municipality before. These people were promoted to these very positions because of their political connections.

The view of the Chairpersons Association is that the Makhado Municipality cannot continue to be managed by people who either do not live in this town or area, who are not known by this community, who do not feel themselves to be accountable to this community and who are not trained, skilled and experienced people for these jobs. These people are not even in touch

with the public lvinging within the Makhado Municipality. They are unapproachable and do not respond to any letters of the public. They do not even respond to letters of the regulatory authority like NERSA.

We also wish to emphasize that, in terms of the amendments of the Makhado Municipal Act, it is unac-ceptable that cadre deployment be done. All people appointed in these very important positions should be well qualified and carry the commu-nity’s confidence with them. These people should not be serving in an ANC branch executive committee.

The Chairpersons Association wishes to appeal to you and recom-mend that the Chairpersons Associa-tion, the Ratepayers Associations, the Chamber of Commerce (which is also one of our members), the ag-ricultural unions and all the affected parties and organisations should be accorded observer status in the municipal manager’s interviews as well as during the interviews with other candidates for impor-tant executive and non-executive structures, that these organisations and stakeholders be given a list of all applicants and those shortlisted, for the sake of transparency, and to verify the shortlisting criteria and to ensure that everyone who qualifies has been invited to the interview. This sort of approach will ensure that transparency is maintained and that an open and honest appoint-ment is made in the best interest of the public as well as the governing structures. This will avoid further embarrassment to the governing structures and promote harmony among all cultural groups, thereby assisting the unlocking of the synergy among all cultural groups in order to make this region an in-vestment haven for investors, which will create wealth and not poverty and unemployment.

Your urgent response and action in respect of this letter are required, please.

- André Naudé (Chairperson)

Special confessions

A priest was called away for an emergen-cy. Not wanting to leave the confessional unattended, he called his rabbi friend from across the street and asked him to cover for him.

The rabbi told him he wouldn’t know what to say, but the priest told him to come on over and he’d stay with him for a little bit and show him what to do.

The rabbi comes and he and the priest are in the confessional.

A few minutes later, a woman comes in and says, “Father forgive me for I have sinned.”

The priest asks, “What did you do?”

The woman says, “I committed adultery.”

Priest: “How many times?”

Woman: “Three times.”

Priest: “Say two Hail Marys, put five dol-lars in the box and go and sin no more.”

A few minutes later a man enters the confessional. He says, “Father forgive me for I have sinned.”

Priest: “What did you do?”Man: “I committed adultery.”Priest: ”How many times?”Man: “Three times.”Priest: “Say two Hail Marys, put five dol-

lars in the box and go and sin no more.”The rabbi tells the priest that he thinks

he’s got it, so the priest leaves.

A few minutes later

another woman enters and says, “Father forgive me for I have sinned.”

Rabbi: ”What did you do?”Woman: “I committed adultery.”Rabbi: “How many times?”Woman: “Once.”Rabbi: “Go do it two more times. We

have a special this week, three for five dollars”

Nei my lanie, dis vir die omgewing

Speedcop stop Gatiep en wil hom beboet oor een hooflig wat dood is.

Gatiep se: Nei my lanie! Dis load shed-ding, ek sit later die anner enetjie aan!

Hierdie groep atlete van die Levubu CVO het aan die SA-atletiekkampioenskappe deelgeneem by die Ruimsig Stadion in Roodepoort en medaljes verower. Voor is Reese Coetzee (tweede spiesgooi O/8). Agter, van links na regs, is Martin Theunissen (tweede in verspring en eerste in die aflos O/12), Rudolph Beetge (eerste in 200m, verspring en aflos, asook tweede in 100m O/13) en Chené Jacobs (tweede hoogspring O/13). Foto verskaf.

Iné du Plessis, uitblinker netbalspeler van Laerskool Louis Trichardt, is gekies vir die Limpopo O/13-netbalspan wat aan die Suid-Afrikaanse netbalkampioenskappe vanaf 24 tot 28 Junie op Boksburg gaan deelneem.

Mnr. Dries Nel (links) van Martin’s Begrafnisdienste het die gholfhemde van die eerste gholfspan van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt geborg. Saam met hom is twee lede van die span, Marco van Zyl en Gerrit Janse van Rensburg, en die gholforganiseerder, mnr. Theo Muller. Die span se hoedjies is deur Nulandis geborg.

The U/15 soccer team of Louis Trichardt High School had a good season and came as far as being crowned champions in their cluster. With the team are their coaches, Mr Bethuel Tshivhenga (left) and Mr Gerard Rossouw (right).

The U/15 soccer team of Louis Trichardt High School had a good season and came as far as being crowned champions in their cluster.

Their coaches, Messrs Be-thuel Tshivhenga and Gerard Rossouw, were proud of them when they won the Soutpans-berg East circuit in the COPA Coca-Cola circuit on 24 April on their home turf. They beat Makhado Comprehensive 4-0, Murunwa 3-1 and Masedi 5-1.

As winners of the Soutpans-berg East Circuit, the U/15s of Louis Trichardt competed against Soutpansberg North (Musina High School) and Soutpansberg West (Benny’s Care Sports Academy). Louis Trichardt scored six goals as opposed to the one goal of Mu-sina. It was, however, the match against Benny’s Care that coach Tshivhenga described as the highlight of their season.

“We drew 1-1, but it was an

excel lent game against the team of an academy that specializes in sport,” Tshivhenga said.

As Soutpansberg cluster champions, the team played other teams of the Vhembe Dis-trict at the Makwarela Stadium on 2 May. They lost 0-1against Lwamondo and 0-4 against Malamulele. The winners of the final of the FNB U/15 Legacy Programme were Makhado FC, with Swakoteka FC from Bun-geni in second place.

U/15’s crowned cluster champions

Met die Kremetart fietswedren wat oor vier weke (8 tot 10 Junie) plaasvind, kan voor-nemende deelnemers aan die 175km wedren hierdie week hul oefenprogram voortsit.

Vir die volgende week kan fietsryers Maandag ‘n maklike 45 minute op die spinfiets spandeer. Dit word Dinsdag gevolg met ‘n 40km rit op die N1, wat insluit vier tien-minuut-lange trapsessies, met twee minute rustussenposes. Woensdag word die bene getoets wanneer fietsryers twee keer van Cloud’s End Hotel na Mountain Inn buite Louis Trichardt moet trap. Donderdag behels ‘n 60km trap uit op die N1, waarna daar Vrydag gerus kan word. Saterdag kan die hele 176km Kremetart-roete gery word, gevolg deur ‘n 40km “herstelrit” Sondag na die Hendrik Verwoerd tonnels.

Intussen beloof die gewilde Kiddies Race en 10km prettrap, wat tydens die Kremetartnaweek gery word, weer om vanjaar baie aftrek te geniet. Daar is reeds ses pryse (vir kinders nege jaar en jonger) in die Kiddies Race en agt pryse vir die 10km prettrap vir kinders tussen O/10 en O/13. Die klub het ‘n beroep gedoen op besighede om betrokke te raak by die Kiddies Race en prettrap. Cycle Centre het reeds ‘n fiets geborg vir die Kid-dies Race, met Super Cycles wat ‘n fiets geborg het as prys vir die prettrap.

Die tyd raak ook min vir mense om stalletjies te bespreek. ‘n Uitstalruimte kos R300 vir drie dae (vanaf Vrydag tot Sondag ná die bergfiets-afdeling).

Fietsrynuus

Bergfietsryers van Louis Trichardt het die afgelope naweek bietjie die bene gaan oefen tydens die Magoebaskloof bergfietsuitdaging oor afstande van onder meer 20km, 35km en 45km.

Sarah Venter, wat die afgelope paar maande haarself gevestig het as een van die streek se top vrouebergfietsryers, het weereens beïndruk deur as eerste vrou oor die wenstreep te trap in die moordende

45km wedren. Sy was ook die eerste vroue sub-veteraan. Shaun Constable het die beste van die plaaslike ryers presteer in die 45km wedren deur algeheel derde te eindig. Hy was ook die eerste senior man tuis.

In die 20km was dit Catherine Labus-chagne wat algeheel derde eindig in die vroue-afdeling. Catherine is ook geen vreemdeling op die podium die afgelope

paar wedrenne nie. Buiten haar derdeplek was sy ook die eerste vroue sub-veteraan by die wenstreep. Louise Olivier, ‘n leer-ling van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, het ook aan die 20km wedren deelgeneem en verras deur algeheel vierde te eindig in die vroue-afdeling.

Marius Smit het ook bietjie gaan sweet. Hy het aan die 35km-wedren deelgeneem en palm ‘n algehele 37ste plek in.
