ASA Metals' management has in the interim created an opportunity for those NUM members who wish to return to work to return on condition that they sign an undertaking that they will not participate in any further unprotected industrial action. At present, 20 employees have utilised this opportunity and ASA Metals' management expects an increase in the number of employees to distance themselves from the unlawful conduct, in which they are currently engaged. 9. ASA Metals' management and the NUM remain in discussion in an effort to resolve the industrial action and ASA Metals is confident that the dispute will be resolved soon.

CONCERNED citizens and business owners in Burgersfort recently brought to the attention of the Highlands Panorama News, an e n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d h e a l t h m i s m a n a g e m e n t i s s u e o f tremendous impact. There is a raw sewerage disaster near the construction site of the new Burgersfort Toyota. Raw sewerage is being pumped into open trenches and flows towards the municipal electrical transformers located here. One of the electrical connection boxes is on the ground in the waste. This poses an enormous health risk, electrical hazard risk, not to mention the environmental pollution occurring, and all this before the rainy season truly begins. This problem has been reported on numerous occasions to both Greater Tubatse Municipality and to Lepalele Water by residents and business owners and to date nothing has been done. The Highlands Panorama News tried to make contact with Greater Tubatse Municipality to get their comments and to try and get the matter rectified but to no avail. Of special note in the photographs the HPN took is the security guard asleep on duty with open gate, giving anybody free access to this hazardous area.

SIEKTES is ’n lelike ding. Of dit nou hartsiektes, kanker, malaria, diabetes of wat ookal is, dit is ’n ernstige saak en ons almal verloor geliefdes aan die nare goed.Op 19 het ek in die weermag begin pyp rook. Toe hoor ek dit maak jou siek. Longkanker en hart. Toe ek begin drink, hoor ek dit gaan my ’n hartaanval gee. En dit breek huwelike op en die

kindertjies hol weg. Toe hou ek op. Toe drink ek net lemoensap. Toe kry ek diabetes. Toe hoor ek ek mag nie botter eet nie. Hart. Toe hoor ek margarien gee jou kanker. Toe mag ek vir my hart geen vet vleis eet nie. Toe sê Tim Noakes nonsens ek mag vet vleis eet. Nou vertel ’n goeie vriend my nee, aartappels, brood en ander stysel is gif. Eiers, wit brood en pasta gee my sooibrand. Melk en suiwel is sleg vir my maag. Ek is glo laktose onverdraagsaam.Die nuutste is dat geprosesseerde vleis (dit is nou polonie en spek en

lewersmeer en ham en sulke goed) = Kanker. En ek is so lief vir salamie. En biefstuk. Vet. En skyfies met mosterd en tamatiesous. En lemoensap. Slaai en groente en vrugte is bespuit met die verskriklikste gif. Sal jou siek maak. Makadamia neute is ek erg allergies voor.Koffie is sleg vir jou. Wyn gee my kopseer. Handevol minerale en vitamiene vir jare maak geen verskil nie. Ek kry nog steeds verkoue en my gewrigte pyn. Ek word ouer en kan dit nie keer nie. MacDonalds se burgers is tops. En salamie. En “chips” soos in steak en chips. Nou vra ek jou, wat nou. “Cayenne” peper werk ook nie.

I JOHANNES 4:1: GELIEFDES, glo nie elke gees nie, maar stel die geeste op die proef of hulle uit God is, want baie valse profete het in die wêreld uitgegaan.Ons Vader gee vir ons die wysheid om die valse profete raak te sien - Amen

Retha Botha van Lydenburg skryf:Die hele omgewing is afhanklik van toersime en die vorige debakel met swak paaie in die Thaba Chweu Munisipale gebied toe motoriste gewaarsku is om Lydenburg te vermy as gevolg van die swak toestand van veral die paaie in en om Lydenburg het die plaaslike ekonomie 'n slag toegedien. Vir jare is ons gewoond aan die Bosboutrokke en hulle is deel van en dra by tot die eiesoortigeekonomie van die omgewing. Ek besef dat die trokke 'n noodsaaklike euwel is maar respek vir ander padverbruikers is van kardinale belang. Ons kantoor is in Viljoenstraat en die spoed waarteen trokke voor ons verbyjaag is skrikwekkend. Van ons kliënte wat by ons perseel moet indraai moet dikwels injaag om te vermy dat hulle van agter getref word, dit ten spyte van voortydige aanduiding daarvan dat hulle gaan indraai.Een van ons werknemers is verlede week byna doodgery toe sy hier inry, deur 'n voortsnellede trok. Kan aan geen rede dink waarop hulle so jaag hier verby nie. En word daar by die stopteken gestop? O nee, dis mos die ander ding, hulle hoef nie te stop nie! Hulle mag stop net waar hulle wil. Hoeveel keer het ek al agter 'n trok gestaan wat oorkant die kafee stop, by die kruising, die drywer klim uit en gaan eers gou ietsie koop! Nee regtig bedagsaamheid is al wat gevra word. Dit en kom die padreëls na.Dit bring my by die Longtompas. Wanneer gaan die Badfontein-pad sodanig herstel word dat hierdie onbedagsame trokke nie die pas se padoppervlak net so vertrap nie? Ek het alreeds gesien dat daar padwerke op die pas is by twee geleenthede wat ek oor die berg Nelspruit toe gery het. Ons paaie is nie gemaak vir die swaar vragte wat hierdie vragmotors vervoer nie! Tot soveel as 30 ton! Die verkeer word negatief beinvloed, mense word ongeduldig en vat kanse want om agter 'n trok te sit is een ding, maar nie te kan verbykom omdat daar drie 3 trokke agtermekaar sit met skaars 'n haarbreedte tussen hulle, dis 'n perd van 'n ander kleur! Ongelukkig lyk dit my dit is net die padverbuikers en die eienaars van gastehuise en toeristebestemmings hier in ons omgewing wat opmerk dat daar 'n probleem aan die kom is. Die verantwoordelik amptenare van die munisipaliteit asook die trokeienaars wat ook

Trokke vernietig toerisme en lei ook tot ampere dood van werker

aanspreeklikheid moet aanvaar vir die skade a a n d i e p a a i e s o w e l a s d i e onverantwoordelike bestuur van hulle trokke, blyk onbewus te wees maar, as iemand doodgaan sal jy vinnig agterkom the buck stops at your desk!!!

Andri van Niekerk, Pretoria skryf: Onlangs het ek en my gesin die lieflike Laeveld besoek. Groot was ons verbasing toe ons op die Longtompas agter 'n vloot trokke vasval. Wat op aarde gaan aan? Dit is een van die mooiste omgewings om te ry en nou is dit 'n trokpas! Wat van die arme mense wat in die omgewing gastehuise en ander toeriste aantreklikhede bedryf?Dit moet hulle sekerlik negatief beinvloed, om nie eens daarvan te praat hoe die padoppervlakte beskadig word nie? Met 'n vorige besoek was dit opvallend dat dit een van die beste paaie in Mpumalanga is met uitsondering natuurlik van die tolpaaie. Maar hierdie keer was ons gekonfronteer met padwerke, en dit moet tog duidelik wees dat dit die gevolg is van verhoogde swaarvoertuigverkeer?Ons het intussen uitgevind dat daar padwerke op die Badfontein/Bambi pad is tussen Lydenburg en die N4, nadat ons besluit het op 'n alternatiewe roete. Blykbaar is dit al 'n geruime tyd onder konstruksie en kom dit nie klaar nie. Ek kan my net die totale chaos op daardie pad voorstel na die onlangse reën. My bekommernis is egter die frustrasies waarmee motoriste te kampe het op die pas. Die trokke handhaaf nie 'n volgafstand wat 'n motor die geleentheid bied om verby te steek waar die pad dit toelaat nie en as gevolg daarvan moet daar twee tot drie trokke op 'n slag verby gegaan word. Dit stel lewens in gevaar en ek sidder om te dink hoe die ongeluksyfer gaan toeneem as gevolg van die selfsugtige optrede van die trokdrywers. Die pas is ook berug vir digte mis en maak dit nog gevaarliker as iemand gefrustreerd agter 'n trok ry in die mis en hy kan verbygaan en skielik is daar nog 'n trok.Ek het heimwee, onthou van 'n tyd nie te lank gelede nie waar ons langs die pad kon stop en piekniek hou, nou staan daar trokke op ons piekniekspot, gooi trokdrywers hulle vullis uit, urineer langs hulle trokke en word die mooi natuurskoon ontsier deur onbedagsaamheid.

’n Skilpad het eendag besluit om op 'n lang reis te gaan. Met 'n klein sakkie om sy nek, wat vriend Swaeltjie vir hom vasgemaak het, het jy die lang pad aangedurf. Sy bestemming was onbekend en hy het ook nie geweet watter gevare vir hom sou voorlê nie. Hy het die oggend voor die reis wakker geword en besef dat iets nie reg is in sy lewe nie. Dat hy soveel meer kan uitrig en nuwe ervaringe kan meemaak. Vir sy vervelige elke-dag-bestaan het hy nie meer kans gesien nie. Tog was hy 'n baie wyse skilpad met 'n groot hart en het geweet dat die tyd vir verandering reg was. Toe die son begin sak oor sy eerste reisdag het hy by 'n groot waterval tot stilstand gekom. Weer het hy 'n voëltjievriend genader om die sakkie wat hy met hom saamgedra het los te knoop. Met groot determinasie het hy nader aan die waterval se afgrond beweeg, al langs die rotse en die sakkie afgegooi. Die malende massas water het dit meegesleur na die onbekende. Skilpad het sy rug daarop gedraai en gevoel asof 'n magdom las van sy dop afrol. Daar en dan het hy besluit om hierdie las by die waterval te los, om te draai en net vorentoe te kyk. Hy het niemand vertel wat in sy sakkie was nie. Toe die klok daardie selfde aand om 00:00 die nuwe jaar aankondig was hy tevrede met sy dag se taak. Die volgende oggend het hy verder gestap met 'n ligter hart en uitgesien na sy nuwe lewe. Skilpad het 'n vars perspektief daar by die waterval gekry, 'n vars uitkyk op die lewe terwyl hy die lieflike vars lug ingeasem het.Net so het almal met die begin van 2015 diep asem gehaal en mekaar 'n jaar van geluk en voorspoed toegewens. Ander het dalk die sjampanje-glas bietjie hoër getilt en “Auld Lang Syne” of “Sal ons ou vriende ooit vergeet…” lustig gesing.

Ek dink niemand kan glo die jaar is weer op sy rug nie. Binne ’n paar weke kan ook ons weer totsiens wuif aan 2015 - byt vas mense. Die vakansie is om die draai. Eers bietjie regs, dan links, dan reguit Kersfees toe. ~ Michelle Boshoff

DIE onbeholpenheid en swak werk van die T h a b a C h w e u S t a d s r a a d e n s y waterkontrakteur het verlede week tot nog ’n oorstroming gelei.Die huis van die Jankowitz egpaar is verlede week in Donderdag erg oorstroom toe die half voltooide koppeling op die hoek van Du Toit en Voortrekkerstrate op pad na Checkers, gebars het. Hierdie onvoltooide werk is onder andere

deur die Highlands Panorama Nuus as ’n probleem uitgewys, nadat die Coetzee-egpaar se huis in ’n soortgelyke voorval oorstroom is. Intussen gaan die brouwerk voort, met watertekorte oral (aan die een kant) en miljoene liters water wat deur lekkasies en vanaf die opgaartenks by Checkers eenvoudig net wegloop en verlore gaan.Andre Coetzee

Kontrakteurs sorg vir groot skade en oor-stromings met ‘brouwerk’

Die AGS Rehobot Gemeente Lydenburg bied ’n aand aan met tema “Kroning van die bruid” vir hul Vrouekonferensie. Hulle nooi gaste uit met die boodskap: Kom beleef ’n profetiese inspraak en ervaring deur pastoor Frik Esterhuizen en profetes Ilze Esterhuizen. Dit vind plaas op 14 November by die AGS Rehobot gemeente van 08:00 tot 15:00. Die koste is R120 en verversings is ingesluit. Kontak Lavon van Niekerk by 072 219 3704 of epos [email protected]

Kerssangdiens SondagaandDie jaarlikse gesamentlike Kerssangdiens vind Sondag 8 November p laas by d ie NG Moedergemeente in Lydenburg. Die NG Suid-gemeente is die gasgemeente maar oudergewoonte kom verskeie kerke se gemeentes saam vir hierdie wonderlike aand van Kerssang en kore. Dit begin om 18:00.

Goue Jare Konsert ~ Vrydag 6 November om 18:30Die senior burgers van die Lydenburg Dienssentrum is baie opgewonde om

hulle ‘Goue Jare Konsert’ op te voer. Dit vind op 6 November om 18:30 plaas by die NG Moedergemeente se

kerksaal. Ligte verversings sal te koop wees. Kaartjies is ook die aand by die saal te koop. Kontak asb. die

Dienssentrum vir navrae 013 235 3875.

FRANK OPPERMAN is ’n meester. ’n S temkuns tenaar en baas van d ie eenmanvertoning in Afrikaans, het hy verlede Donderdagaand die vol NG Moedergemeente se saal die een oomblik laat skater en die volgende ’n traan laat wegpik. Sy opvoering van “Die Klaagliedere van Ds Tienie Benade” was nie net komies en hartseer nie, dit het ’n diep boodskap vir ons

almal gehad. Gedoen in die vorm van ’n erediens, het dit gegaan oor die leegloop van kerke, die chroniese tekort aan fondse, misdaad en bo alles die werk van ’n tradisionele Predikant. Almal in die gehoor het weer eens besef dat ’n Dominee se werk nie vir sissies is nie. Hy is die bevestiger van huwelike en dan later weer huweliksberader. Sielkundige, rekenmeester, bouopsigter, we

nutsman, vredemaker, begrafnisondernemer, sieketrooster, verligter van armoede, ondersteuning vir die bejaarde en bowe alles geestelike leier. Hy werk met en vir ’n moeilike kerkraad, die ring en die sinode. Hy moet regter speel by sake van rass isme, ges insgeweld, drankverslaafdes en besluite van sinodes implementeer wat dalk sy gemeente dwars in die krop steek.

Frank het daarin geslaag op op satiriese maar simpatieke wyse al hierdie aspekte uit te beeld, kompleet met ’n “Boom Box” vir kerkmusiek, omdat die orrelpype “gesteel” was.Dit was voorwaar ’n aangename aand vir a lmal , ba ie ge luk Lydenburg NG Moedergemeente en geluk Frank. Jy is ’n Yster.Andre Coetzee

Die NG Suid-gemeente van Lydenburg het

Saterdag heerlik basaar gehou en almal het

saamgespan om hierdie Oesfees ’n heerlike

feesnaweek te maak.

Nog van die gemeentelede werk hard agterdie skerms om die Oesfees vir almal lekker

te maak. Dankie aan almal wat dit ondersteun het.

Die pad Burgersfort is wel lank en baie besig met soveel verkeer, maar

hierdie pragtige skouspel van blomme lewer ’n

natuurskouspel. Dit is afgeneem op die

ONS word daagliks uit verskillende oorde bewus gemaak van die feit dat 'n aktiewe lewenstyl voordelig is.Sommige groot maatskappye wat mediese fondse en lewensdekking verskaf, beloon lede wat gereeld oefen met kontantterugbetalings en verlaagde premies. Die geld wat hierdie maatskappye spandeer op hierdie in i t iat iewe is niks in vergelyking met die geld wat hulle spaar op lede wat goeie gesondheid geniet en gevolglik minder dokter toe gaan nie. 'n Aktiewe lewensstyl hou natuurlik nog baie meer voordeel in vir die individue wat dit beoefen as vir hulle versekeringsmaatskappye!Gereelde oefening hou die volgende voordele in:Help kontroleer bloedglukose deur die insulienreseptor weer meer sensitief te maak vir insulien.Help om die komplikasies van diabetes te verminder.Help met gewigsbeheer: Meer kalorieë word verbrand, nie net tydens oefening nie, maar ook omdat oefening die metabolisme vir die volgende 24 uur verhoog met 5 – 10 %. Dit beteken die liggaam van 'n aktiewe person verbrand kalorieë teen 'n vinniger tempo na oefening as die liggaam van 'n onaktiewe persoon. Dit is ook waarom 'n mens nie maklik koud kry tydens oefening nie. Die “vure brand hoër”. Dit is ook deels waarom bejaardes so koulik is. Hulle sit die hele dag stil wat veroorsaak dat hulle metabolisme feitlik afsluit .Verbeter bloedsirkulasie in die hele liggaam en help om gevaarlike bloedvatkomplikasies te voorkom.

Verminder die risiko van hoë bloeddruk en help om 'n bloeddruk wat reeds verhoog is, te verbeter.Verbeter die bloedvet-profiel: Oefening verlaag trigliseriede en totale cholesterol. Dit verlaag LDL (die slegte cholesterol), en verhoog HDL (die goeie cholesterol) wat 'n beskermende invloed op bloedvate het.Verbeter lewenskwaliteit: 'n Mens voel baie beter as jy meer aktief is. Jy h e t ' n m e e r p o s i t i e w e liggaamsbewustheid en verbeter jou liggaam se bewegingspatrone. Kyk byvoorbeeld hoe mooi grasieus stap 'n ouer vrou wat gereeld oefen in vergelyking met haar eweknieë wat oefening vermy.Bevorder balans. Bejaardes het dikwels swak balans as gevolg van langdurige onaktiwiteit. Vir die rede is hulle geneig om maklik te val, wat ernstige gevolge mag hê.Verbeter spierkrag, wat onder andere voorkom dat 'n mens rugpyn kry as gevolg van swak spiere.Help om jou dagtake makliker te doen omdat jy sterker is en beter voel.Ve r m i n d e r d i e r i s i k o v a n osteoporose. Die “trek” van die spiervesels waar hulle aan die bene vasheg, stimuleer voortdurend nuwe beenvorming.Is 'n uitstekende manier van streshantering.Die endorfiene wat tydens oefening afgeskei word, is die beste anti-depressant bekend. Studies het gewys dat 30 minute stap 'n soortgelyke effek as Prozak het 'n mens se gemoedstemming. www.docfrancois.wordpress.com

Bespreek vir Sake-

kamer dinee

’n Baie suksesvolle kalendervergadering met die naam “Lydenburg Dagboek” is vrydagoggend by Cafe Crust gehou. Onder voorsitterskap van Gerda Whitehorn was die vergadering goed bygewoon deur verteenwoordigers van verskeie kerke, skole, gastehuise, die sakekamer, diensteorganisasies, sakemense en die dorp se twee koerante. Gerda het die soort inligting wat verlang word vir die kalender, soos wie, wat waar en wanneer ’n geleentheid plaasvind vir insluiting, beklemtoon. Die koerante het ook verduidelik dat hulle items sal lys indien die inligting betyds verskaf word en dat volledige dekking voor en na die geleentheid gegee kan word, as die organisasie bemarking (advertensie) daarvoor doen.Iets wat gou duidelik was, was dat kermisse en ander geleenthede wat oorvleuel dikwels gekombineer kan word tot voordeel van al die partye, maar dat dit dan veel groter bemarkingswaarde het en dus meer voete kan lok. Middag en aandfunksies wat naby mekaar plaasvind kan bv. so

gesamentlik bemark word, waar dieselfde teikengroep mense dan beide kan bywoon.Funksies wat nie op die kalender bespreek word nie of nie behoorlik adverteer word nie, het dikwels swak opkomste en almal wat iets reël word aangemoedig om op die dorpskalender in te skakel en hulle funksies te bemark. ’n Groter bemarkingsplatform is dikwels meer suksesvol as sosiale media, a.g.v. die magdom WhatsApp en Facebook bladsye, wat elk net beperkte aanhang of sigbaarheid het en dat bemarking sodoende deur die vingers kan glip.K o n t a k g e r u s v i r G e r d a W h i t e h o r n b y [email protected], of vir Pastoor Andre Hanekom by veklyd.gmail.com of die twee plaaslike koerante.Dit lyk asof 2016 ’n vol en opwindende jaar vir die dorp gaan wees! Die volgende vergadering sal wees op Woensdag 3 Februarie 2016 om 09:00 by Cafe Crust en elke drie maande daarna.Andre Coetzee

Kalendervergadering suksesvol

THE Department of Environmental Affairs' (DEA) Working for Water (WfW) Programme, officially celebrated 20 years of existence last week Thursday. The programme came into existence on 16 October 1995.The WfW Programme has seen phenomenal growth over the last 20 years and has been transformed into the Working for programmes. These include Working on Fire, Working for Wetlands, Working for Ecosystems, Working for F o r e s t s a n d E c o F u r n i t u r e Programmes, which have succeeded i n m a i n s t r e a m i n g e c o l o g i c a l restoration into the employment and rural development debates. The Working for Water programme represented a un ique pub l ic employment conservation initiative at the time particularly in the Overberg area where the first invasive alien tree was cut, by the then Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry, the late Professor Kader Asmal. This signified the beginning of a concerted effort by government to address poverty and unemployment through addressing key issues o f env i ronmenta l degradation. Professor Kader Asmal launched the programme in 1995, as a multi-departmental programme with a budget of R25 million. The programme has since seen remarkable growth, it has also given job opportunities to unemployed people – over 55,000 in the last financial year. Initially, the primary focus of WfW was purely on the management of invasive species known to have negative impacts on streamflow. It was soon realised that WfW cannot operate in isolation. When invasive alien plants are cleared from riparian zones and wetlands there may still be an imperative for the restoration of the cleared area to improve water purification and retention, and ultimately to improve dry season flows. Since the inception of the WfW programme in 1995, the family of Natural Resource Programmes have together created more than 227 100 person years of employment across South Africa. The programmes grew from just over 6 100 employment opportunities to more than 50 000 on average over the last three years. For the last three years, consistently just over half of these were female and more than 60% were younger than 35 years of age. There has been a specific focus on the most marginalised within society. The Working for programmes is possibly the only programmes to target opportunities for military veterans and for parolees, and there have been ongoing attempts to seek to optimise the programmes' social development relevance.To date some 2.8 million hectares of invasive alien plants have been treated. Invasive alien plants cover some twenty million hectares of South Africa to a lesser or greater extent. If compressed to 100% density, invasive alien plants would cover around 1.9 million hectares, an area bigger than the Gauteng Province or the Kruger National Park. Although on the surface it looks as if WfW is making progress, research has shown that invasive alien plants may be spreading by between 7.4% and 15.6% (depending upon species), necessitating additional investment. WfW is investing around R50 million of its annual budget in biological control – seeking to introduce host-specific enemies (e.g. fungi, insects) of the invasive plants. Biocontrol can drastically reduce seed production and in some cases even kill its host species.

Vrouediensafsluiting met gassprekerJuliana Coetzer aan die woordDie Vrouediensafsluitding vind op 12 November om 18:00 by die NG Moedergemeente se kerksaal plaas. Dit is ’n kaas-en-wyn geleentheid.

Leser skryf:Donderdag, 22 Oktober om en by na twaalf die middag, op die Watervalsrivierpas het hierdie swaarvoertuig besluit dat hy nie aan die regterkant verby kan beweeg nie, as gevolg van die aankomende verkeer, en toe maar aan die linkerkant verby gegaan het. Nodeloos om te sê, het jy net sand, stof en klippe gekry, want die bestuurder van die swaarvoertuig was haastig en die res van die wetsgehoorsames moes maar ruite toedraai. Ek het die voertuig weer naby Obaro gekry om ‘n foto van sy kant van die deur ook af te neem, via my medepassasier, sodat ek die maatskappy se logo ook op kamera kon kry. Nodeloos om te noem, ek glo nie die maatskappy weet hoe daar met hul swaarvoertuie gery word nie.

Alan and Estelle Bullen write: It is with great gratitude and joy that we can testify that God saved our lives from death during the brutal armed farm attack we recently experienced. To God all the honour and glory. Read Psalm 34.Everybody; family, friends, acquaintances, known and unknown, nearby and far who assisted us in any manner by way of physical assistance, prayer, visits, calls, messages, etc. Thank you so much. Times like these one experiences the care of fellow people. Special appreciation to all who visited us in hospital, spoiling us with lovely bouquets, snacks and chocolates.Health wise, at this time and stage, it is going better with both of us. Alan was very badly bruised during the attack. He still has pain and body aches. The swelling on his hands has improved but his feet are still swollen. He tries his utmost best to comply with his daily tasks. Planting time has arrived.I am recovering from my burn wounds and praise the Lord for the healing process. After four sessions in theatre, my skin recovered remarkable and no skin grafts were necessary. I still treat the wounds as prescribed by the doctor. My leg which was of concern, recovers well. My face, especially my eye, which was very badly bruised, sight has completey recovered. The mark of the laundry iron on my cheek also healed well. The last marks are still being treated. I am very grateful to be home after almost a month in hospital. Physically I am very tired, but trust that I will regain my strength soon.Once again, thank you to everybody who is thinking about and praying for us. Love and blessings.

SURELY nobody has ever described the Audi RS7 Sportback, to all intents and purposes a four-door supercar, as slow? Nor for that matter its station wagon partner, the RS6?Nevertheless, Audi has taken it upon itself to release a power-boosting Performance pack option for both cars, which share the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine. Ordinarily, power and torque outputs for both models is a hardly weedy 412kW/680Nm but tick the new Performance pack box and you’ll see the figures soar

to a dyno-busting 445kW/750Nm.How fast does the new Performance pack make the Audi RS7/RS6? Zero to 100kph drops by two tenths to 3.7sec. Top speed, ordinarily limited, can be increased to a maximum of 300kph on request. Performance figures for both models are claimed to be identical despite the RS6’s blockier bodywork. Perhaps the most serious indicator of the cars’ pace is the quoted 0-200kph time: a mind-scrambling 12.1sec. All the more hilarious bearing in mind there could be child seat in the back.Fuel economy is claimed to be unaffected by the Performance option, so that’s a still-optimistic 9.5l/100km in the RS7. How much is the Audi RS6 and RS7 Performance option? No word on locally pricing just yet but in the UK the package adds around £6000 (plus minus R130 000) to the overall cost of the car. Tempted?topcar.co.za

AS can be expected, Japanese companies take their local car show fairly seriously. We are not used to seeing Yamaha concept cars regularly at car shows, but this year the company unveiled a rather sporty looking concept called the Sport Ride.At only 3 900 mm long, 1 720 mm wide, 1 170 mm tall, including the extensive use of carbon fibre, the Sport Ride Concept tips the scales at only 750 kg.

Inside there is only two seats, and as one would expect from a motorcycle manufacturer, the driving experience is focused around the driver.There is unfortunately no word on the powertrain, yet. Some of us would like to think that Yamaha would consider installing its R1 mo to rcyc l e eng ine i n t h i s lightweight concept, similar to what Honda did with its Project 2&4. This is sadly unlikely.carmag.co.za

No, the supercar slaying Nissan GT-R isn’t finished just yet. Behold the – to use its full name – Nissan GT-R Nismo N-Attack Package, which will make its debut at annual SEMA tuning extravaganza in Las Vegas.As any bonafide GT-R nut will know, in 2013 Nissan’s Nismo GT-R set a blistering

DAIHATSU has taken mobility and space utilisation to the next level with its Nori Ori Concept; a subcompact microbus with a main focus of providing easy access to its cabin. The Nori Ori was revealed at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show.The Nori Ori makes use a very low slung floor with a “fold and kneel” system and retractable ramps allowing for wheelchair users to gain easy access to the cabin. To aid to this feature the Nori Ori has also been given two sizable entrance points at the side and rear.In terms of exterior design the Nori Ori comes across as a soft and approachable medical vehicle and could be considered somewhat of a ‘Patch Adams” of ambulances. The large and round headlamps, square and disproportionate body, large windows and tiny wheels provides it with a very cartoonish nature as seen in many key car concepts.The spacious interior of the Nori Ori is also something to pay attention to. It oddly has a wooden floor presumably to provide wheelchairs with easier movement within the cabin, thanks to its smoother surface, and has enough room to comfortably accommodate two unfolded wheelchairs.Sadly Daihatsu has not provided any more information on this Nori Ori. The only thing we do know is that it’s a not-so-typical microbus, best suited for elderly mobility; something which is apparently an issue in Japan.carmag.co.za 7:08.679 Nurburgring lap time. Of

course, that car had special parts (and perhaps a few parts missing to save weight) but now the average bloke on the street in Japan and the US will be able to purchase a car featuring an array of parts developed and used by the Nismo GT-R when it set that particular ‘volume production vehicle lap record’.So what does the N-Attack Package feature? Well, you’ll get modified suspension, a re-profiled aerodynamics package including front spoiler, side skirts, and rear diffuser, reshaped front guards including red-detailed aero canards, as well as the towering rear wing from the N-Attack Nismo. On the inside there are heavily bolstered racing seats, you know, to hold you in place while you pull all those Gs.Engine wise, there is no change because the ‘standard’ Nismo already runs a pumped up 441kW/650Nm version of the GT-R’s twin-turbo 3.8-litre V6. This means the N-Attack Package merely brings the aerodynamics, suspension and aesthetics of the N i s m o G T - R closer to that of the lap record car. topcar.co.za

THESE days the landlord or his rental agent will invariably ask for one and a half, two or more months' rental to be paid as a deposit upfront before the tenant takes occupation. This deposit safeguards the landlord against breaches in the lease agreement, damage to his property, rent shortfalls and the non-payment of utilities.During the initial negotiation phases, it is essential that the tenant and landlord, or his agent, inspect the property together and then draw up a comprehensive lease agreement which includes a complete inventory.This inventory should list every item in the property and include a written and photographic record of the condition of all aspects of the property.Fairly often the tenant is so relieved and pleased to have found a suitable home that he skips through this initial

inspection without noticing defects to the premises.At the end of the lease he may well then find himself being held responsible for these defects, but has no proof that they were already a problem when he moved in. Difficulties of this kind are, however, avoided if the lease agreement and inventory are thoroughly worked through.In this initial stage, the tenant, having signed the lease, will be asked to pay the deposit mentioned above. What is vitally important here is that this must be paid into an attorney's third party's trust account - not into the landlord's or any other cheque, savings or trust account.Great care should be taken to ensure that the details of this account to which the money is being paid are exactly as specified by the attorney.Iit is also important that the deposit should earn interest and that this is paid to the tenant when it is refunded. It is illegal to 'borrow' money from trust accounts for other purposes, even though the plan is to fully refund it on time.Precautions outlined above are especially necessary as there is such a fine line between normal wear-and-tear and outright damage.The condition of floors, carpets, cupboards, lighting, internal walls into which picture hanging nails may have been driven and, not least, the garden may in the landlord's opinion be so unsatisfactory that he feels entitled to withhold part of the deposit.In South African law, however, disputes should be settled and the money returned within 14 days of the premises being vacated. www.property24.com

DIE 67ste Laeveld Interhoër is op hande en groot opgewondenheid heers by Lydenburg Hoërskool! Die Medi Clinic Laeveld Interhoër word hier aangebied op 20 Februarie 2016. Die beste atlete van agt skole van die omgewing gaan hier meeding vir die gesogte trofee van beste in die Laeveld, op sport- en geesgebied! Me. Tersia Terblanche, een van die voorlopers met die reëlings sê egter dat borge baie beperk is en het 'n beroep gedoen op alle besighede om hulle by die skool te skaar en te sorg dat hierdie interhoër nog lank onthou gaan word.Die werklikheid is dat die ekonomie knyp en besighede werklik mooi moet kyk na waarde vir geld wanneer hulle veral geld op advertensie spandeer, maar met die invloei van besoekers van die omliggende dorpe is daar uitstekende blootstelling vir enige besigheid wat borg of adverteer tydens die Interhoër. “Op die koop toe bied ons ook die Hoëveld Interhoër aan en as jou besigheid se advertensiebord op is, dan kry jy dubbel waarde vir geld!” sê mnr. Johan Loots trotse hoof van Lydenburg Hoërskool. Besighede moet hulle ook nie blindstaar teen geldelike borge nie. Die skool kan ook van gratis dienste van die besighede gebruik maak. So byvoorbeeld is 'n kragopwekker van een van die myngroepe ontvang en moet 'n sement staanplek voorberei word. 'n TLB vir daardie taak sal hoog op prys gestel word en besighede wat dienste beskikbaar maak sal ook as een van die borge genoem

word op die program. Natuurlik is daar ook geldelike bydraes nodig en besighede wat belangstel in advertensieborde moet me. Bianca Wirths by die Hoërskool skakel, aangesien daar baie spesiale tariewe is. Meeste van die belangstellendes het reeds 'n skrywe ontvang per epos, maar enige iemand anders wat sou belangstel in kosstalletjies, moet asb vir me. Retha Botha kontak by 084 401 2529 tydens kantoorure of e-pos [email protected]. Retha sê dat dit nou een ding van die Lydenburgers is en dit is dat hulle kan basaar hou en “ons beplan 'n kermisatmosfeer en wil graag aan almal 'n geleentheid gee om deel te wees en hulle fondsinsamelingsinisiatiewe 'n welkome inspuiting te gee. Die kos gaan defnitief van hoogstaande gehalte wees en 'n groot verskeidenheid sal te koop aangebied word op die dag.” Die Hoëveld Prestige atletiek Byeenkoms word op 6 Februarie by die skool aangebied en die adverteerders en borge gaan dus dubbel blootstelling kry aangesien die meeste van die advertensieborde teen daardie datum reeds op die terrein aangebring sal wees. Skole soos Middelburg en Secunda sal hier deelneem op die dag. Die voordeel van hierdie prestige byeenkomste is dat die dorp twee keer 'n groot klomp besoekers sal moet huisves en kosgee, wat ‘n uitstekende proeflopie is vir die Interhoër by Lydenburg Hoërskool en aan die sakegemeenskap 'n welcome geldelike inspuiting sal gee.

that will take place on 29 May 2016. This was like always a great race according to the athletes and were at some places a bit challenging. The warm conditions in Gauteng also made this race challenging.Modikwa Marathon Club would like to congratulate Elvis Modiba on completing his first 42.2km race. He had a bit of bother at the end of the race. This was however quickly sorted out by the medical personnel at the finish line.
