Valuation process marred by allegations of corruption

The Zoutpansberger’s decision to dig a little deeper into the company appointed to compile the Makhado Municipality’s 2014 to 2018 valu-ation roll has literally opened up the proverbial can of worms.

Amidst serious allegations of corruption in the awarding of the tender to Risuna Property Con­sultants and Valuers, the Makhado Municipality opted last week not to respond to any questions re­garding the company and a confi dential settlement agreement reached between them and Risuna. “The matter is still sub judice, therefore it is prohibited from public discussion,” was the answer received from municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi.

Notice that Siyabuselela Trading Enterprise 275 CC, trading as Risuna Property Consultants and Valuers, was appointed as municipal valuers was given by the Makhado Municipality in September 2013. The same notice listed Risuna’s Mr Kulani Dumond Nkuna as municipal valuer.

The release of Risuna’s valuation roll for inspec­tion and objections by the Makhado Municipality earlier this year sparked major controversy from the onset. Because of the controversy, the Zout-pansberger decided to take a closer look at the valuation roll in April and found it to be riddled with discrepancies and inaccuracies. What was immediately obvious was that a lot of home owners had suddenly become overnight millionaires, espe­cially home owners below Rissik Street. It seemed

that Risuna had displayed a total disregard for these properties’ current market value and valued them at infl ated prices. Several cases were also found where luxury homes in the town’s affl uent Skuldbult area were valued at ridiculously low values and many local property experts went so far as to describe the valuation roll as absurd and a total thumb suck.

The discrepancies in the valuation roll placed a huge question mark over Risuna’s competence and prompted the Zoutpansberger to ask the Makhado Municipality what criteria Risuna had used to calculate property values. Questions in this regard were sent to the municipality on 14 April.

For more than six weeks, despite numerous enquiries and follow­ups, the Zoutpansberger struggled to elicit a response from the Makhado Municipality. The municipality fi nally responded on 27 May by merely listing extracts from the Mu­nicipal Property Rates Act (MPRA) as the criteria used by Risuna. Ironicaly, the municipality quoted from the act that also says that the market value of a property is the “amount the property would have realized if sold on the date of valuation in the open market by a willing seller to a willing buyer.” This was exactly the point many home owners argued Risuna had not adhered to in compiling the valuation roll.

Still not satisfi ed with the response by the mu­nicipality, the Zoutpansberger then focussed its attention on Risuna’s previous track record.

2 20 June 2014 ZOUTPANSBERGER

(Contd from P1)An enquiry to fellow newspapers in the prov­

inces yielded an interesting response. It turns out that the same Risuna, and Mr Nkuna, had compiled the valuation roll of Marulaneng (Hoed­spruit). Apparently, Risuna’s compilation of the valuation roll there was also marred by allegations of serious corruption and incompetence.

A bombshell dropped when the Zoutpansberger managed to obtain a copy of a confidential “Settle­ment Agreement” between Siyabuselela Trading Enterprise 275 CC, trading as Risuna Property Consultants and Valuers, and the Makhado Mu­nicipality, wherein it is stated that Siyabuselela “desires to voluntarily withdraw from the tender in an amicable manner”. This settlement agree­ment, already signed by Mr Nkuna on behalf of Siyabuselela and the Makhado municipal manager, Mr Sakkie Mutshinyali, on 16 May this year, further fuelled suspicion that something was terribly wrong with the valuation process and the awarding of the tender. The MPRA clearly states under Designation of Municipal Valuers 33(4): A municipality may withdraw the designation of a person as its municipal valuer but ONLY on the grounds of (a) misconduct, incapac-ity or incompetence; (b) non-compliance with a provision of this Act; (c) under-perfor-mance; or (d) breach of contract, in the case of a person referred to in subsection (2). Subsection 2 states: If a municipality decides to secure the services of a person in private prac-tice as its municipal valuer, it must (a) follow an open, competitive and transparent process in accordance with the Chapter 11 of the Municipal Finance Management Act; and (b) designate the successful bidder as its municipal valuer by way of a written contract setting out the terms and conditions of the designation.

The Makhado Municipality’s refusal to answer questions about the settlement agreement (See accompanying article for more on the settlement agreement) and the implications thereof for the taxpayer, stating that the matter is sub judice, in­dicated to the Zoutpansberger that it is embroiled in a pending court case.

Lo and behold, this is indeed the case. The Zout-pansberger managed to obtain court documents of a pending court case in the High Court between DDP Valuers (applicant) and the Makhado Mu­nicipality (first respondent), Siyabuselela (second respondent) and Mr Nkuna (third respondent). DDP Valuers also tendered for the compilation of the valuation roll and brought a motion in the High Court to award the tender for the compila­tion of Makhado’s 2014 to 2018 valuation roll to them, or alternatively that the awarding of

Tender 1/2013 be referred back to the Makhado Municipality for renewed consideration.

The documentation submitted by DDP with regard to the Makhado Municipality’s awarding of the valuation roll tender to Risuna makes for shocking reading. The case was heard in the North Gauteng High Court on 23 May, with final judgement temporally being withheld at this stage.

DDP argued and openly stated in court that the said tender had been obtained by fraudulent means in that Siyabuselela had forged documents in their tender bid. Furthermore, DDP stated that the Makhado Municipality took irrelevant considerations into account or failed to consider relevant considerations in that the designated municipal valuer did not have the work experience as prescribed in the tender conditions. DDP also stated that the Makhado Municipality had award­ed the tender to Risuna in contradiction of the municipality’s own bid evaluation committee’s recommendations that Risuna’s tender was not acceptable and that the tender be awarded to DDP. (See article above). It was not only the High Court that heard allegations of fraud and corruption against Mr Nkuna and Risuna Property Con­

sultants and Valuers. The Zoutpansberger’s investigation further revealed that the South African Council for the Property Valuers Pro­fession (SACPVP) is currently investigating Mr Nkuna. This was confirmed on Wednes­day. As far as could be determined, the inves­

tigation focusses on similar complaints of corrup­tion and fraud against Mr Nkuna with regard to the compilation of Marulaneng’s valuation roll. The SACPVP was, however, unable to answer specific media enquiries from the Zoutpansberger regarding Mr Nkuna and Risuna with reference to the Makhado valuation roll because the responsi­ble person who could comment was on sick leave. The SACPVP, however, indicated that a response would be forthcoming within the next week.

Amidst all this controversy surrounding Risuna, Mr Nkuna and the compilation of the valuation roll, several questions arise regarding the legality of the valuation roll compiled by Risuna. The existing valuation roll expires on 30 June, with the new valuation roll coming into effect on 1 July. As far as could be determined, should the Makhado Municipality implement the 2014 to 2018 valuation roll on 1 July and it is declared null and void later, it cannot fall back on the previous valuation roll. This would effectively leave the municipality without a rates income for the next four years. This would mean, according to several property rates experts, that the municipality would have to be put under administration, with the Sate having to pay its operating expenses.

DDP Valuers has asked the High Court to ei-ther re-award the tender for the compilation of Makhado’s 2014 to 2018 valuation roll to them, or to refer it back to the Makhado Municipality to be reconsidered.

The matter between DDP Valuers (PTY) Ltd, who also tendered for the compilation of Makhado’s 2014 to 2018 valuation roll, against the Makhado Municipality (first respondent), Siyabuselela (second respondent) and Mr Kulani Nkuna (third respondent), was heard in the North Gauteng High Court on 23 May.

DDP Valuers took the municipality, Siyabusele­la and Mr Nkuna to court for what they deemed to be the fraudulent awarding of the valuation roll tender to Siyabuselela Trading Enterprise 275 CC, trading as Risuna Property Consultants and Valuers, in 2013. DDP further argued in their motion to the High Court that the Makhado Municipality took irrelevant considerations into account or failed to consider relevant consider­ations, in that the designated municipal valuer did not have the work experience as prescribed in the tender conditions. DDP also stated that the Makhado Municipality had awarded the tender to Risuna in contradiction of the municipality’s own

bid evaluation committee’s recommendations that Risuna’s tender was not acceptable and that the tender be awarded to DDP.

In a supplement affidavit submitted by Mr Tinus Nel of DDP Valuers, Nel elaborates on the above allegations in detail.

In regard of the tender’s being obtained by fraudulent means by Siyabuselela (trading as Risuna), Nel argues that Siyabuselela forged the signature of Siyabusele­la’s supposed designat­ed valuer, Mr X (the name is withheld as the said valuer is not a respondent in the case), in their tender bid doc­umentation. DDP Val­uers went so far as to call on the expertise of an expert examiner of questionable documents, handwriting, typewrit­ing and fingerprints, a Lt Col Cloete. Cloete is the co­founder and a fully accredited member of the former South African Association of Forensic Document Examiners. Nel stated that Cloete was asked to compare the known signatures of Mr X to

that of the signature which appears on Siyabusele­la’s tender bid documentation. Cloete’s report, as stated in Nel’s motion, states that the signature in the tender documents “was constructed and formed in a completely different manner from the genuine signatures and appears not to have been written by the same person.” Nel further states that on the day that Mr X supposedly signed the document, he was

actually in Zambia.As for the Makhado

Municipality’s taking irrelevant consider­ations into account or failing to consider rel­evant considerations in that the designated municipal valuer did not have the work expe­rience as prescribed in

the tender conditions, Nel’s motion states that Mr X, according to Siyabuselela’s tender documents, is attributed with a vast number of previous work experience with regard to compiling valuation rolls, but that his own investigation revealed that the mentioned work experience conducted at several municipalities showed that the valu­ations were actually done by other persons and valuers. “I respectfully point out that even the most elementary enquiries on the part of the First Respondent [Makhado Municipality] would have made it clear that Mr [X] does not possess the

work experience in compiling mass municipal valuations he professed to have,” Nel’s motion states. He also argues that Mr X was “a ruse and that the Third Respondent [Mr Nkuna] did all the work in compiling the Valuation Roll.”

With reference to the Makhado Municipality’s awarding the tender to Siyabuselela in contradic­tion of the recommendations of the municipality’s own bid evaluation committee, he quoted the committee’s recommendation as recorded on 19 March 2013, stating:

“That it be noted that tendered no. 2, Risuna Property Consultants Valuers under Tender No. 1 of 2013, was disqualified due to the reason that their trading name is not (a) registered entity name, and the fact that it submitted only one year’s financial statements and not three as required by specifications. Option 1: That the Evaluation Committee recommends that Tender No. 1 of 2013, Compilation of Makhado Municipality Valuation Roll 2014/2015 to 2017/2018 financial years be awarded to DDP Valuers (Pty) Ltd of P O Box 40408, Moreletta Park, 0044, Tel 012 369 9141, for scoring the highest points of 95% with an all inclusive amount of R1,350,000,00.”

Regarding the above, Nel argued, among other things, that the Makhado Municipality’s decision to ignore the recommendation by its bid evalua­tions committee “was arbitrary or capricious and/or was done male fide, alternatively for an ulterior purpose or motive.”

Openness and transparency are apparently not high on the Makhado Municipality’s list of priorities when it comes to the current chaotic state of the municipal valuation roll process.

This is evident in their decision not to comment on questions regarding the settlement agreement reached between them and the appointed municipal valuers, Siyabuselela Trading Enterprise 275 CC, trading as Risuna Consultants and Valuers. The questions, among others, centred on what effect Risuna’s withdrawal from the tender contract has on the process and the taxpayer.

The settlement agreement was signed on 16 May, with a confidentiality undertaking between the two parties stating that it “is further agreed that the terms of this agreement are confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third save if any party to this agreement is required to disclose such terms as a matter of law.”

As already pointed out in the article on the front page, the Municipal Property Rates Act is very specific about the circumstances under which a designated municipal valuer can withdraw from a valuation roll contract, indicating that either misconduct or a breach of contract on the part of Risuna had occurred.

As for the terms set out in the confidential set­tlement agreement, these include:

* All the contracts signed and between the Makhado Municipality and Siyabuselela in respect of the above­mentioned tender are terminated and cancelled forthwith and with immediate effect.

* Siyabuselela shall endeavour to complete all outstanding work relating to Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Objection Process, currently underway, on or before 19 May 2014.

* Makhado Municipality undertakes to pay Si­yabuselela for all the completed work on the basis of invoices issued for the requisite quality work done and verified.

* Siyabuselela will furnish the Makhado Mu­nicipality with written proof that the valuation roll is completed, lawfully certified and signed by a qualified municipal valuer as specified in the tender.

The Makhado Municipality’s refusal to comment on the agreement makes it difficult to speculate about the circumstances that had led to the signing of this document. The 19 May deadline set out in the agreement has lapsed and uncertainty exists whether this term was met with regard to the objec­tion process. The Zoutpansberger spoke to several people who had lodged objections; they confirmed that no one from either Risuna or the municipality had contacted them yet regarding their objection.

With regard to the third condition, the Zout-pansberger has requested the municipality twice

to supply the tender amount that was awarded to Siyabuselela and the amount already paid over to them, despite their not completing the tender contract. The municipality is yet to answer these questions.

As for the fourth condition, it is obvious that the valuation roll process was not completed when the agreement was signed. The specific reference to “lawfully certified and signed by a qualified valuer as specified in the tender” also raises questions as to whether Siyabuselela and the company’s ap­pointed municipal valuer, Mr Kulani Nkuna, are indeed registered as professional valuers by the South African Council for the Property Valuers Profession (SACPVP). The law is very specific that municipal valuations can only be completed by a registered professional valuer, or that (in cases where a private company such as Siyabuselela is appointed) the designated municipal valuer must be registered with the SACPVP. A media enquiry as to whether or not Siyabuselela and Mr Nkuna were registered when they tendered for and were awarded the contract in 2013 will hopefully be answered by the SACPVP within the next week.

Many residents may ask, in light of the latest developments regarding the valuation roll process, whether the roll in its entirety could be declared null and void. This would seem a difficult and expensive task as no one can object to the valuation roll as a whole, but only to individual property valuations. An Internet search of cases where ratepayers had successfully challenged the implementation of a municipal valuation roll, yielded the case between the South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA) vs The Council of the Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. SAPOA challenged the implementation of a discriminatory rate hike against certain business, commercial and industri­al properties. Initially, the High Court dismissed SAPOA’s application, but they took it on appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal, which then found in SAPOA’s favour. The case centred mainly on the higher rates ratio imposed by the Metropolitan Municipality on certain properties. Some similari­ties with regard to Makhado (Louis Trichardt) exist concerning the valuation of properties at a much higher estimate than their current market value. As is the case in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), SAPOA also argued that certain properties had been valued much lower than their current market value. This led judge Navsa to state, among other things, in his verdict: “This, of course, reduced the Council’s revenue base and contributed to an income short­fall. The Council in more ways than one was the author of its own misfortune, which then became the misfortune of ratepayers.”

The signature in the tender documents “was constructed and

formed in completely different manner as the genuine signatures

and appears not to have been written by the same person”

Former Ridgeway student dies invehicle accident

By Isabel Venter

Residents of the Soutpansberg, together with his family, this week mourn the sudden death of 23-year-old Mr Jarrod Ferreira. Mr Ferreira, a former student of the Ridgeway Independent School and Ridgeway College, died in a vehicle accident on Sunday, 15 June. He was employed at Barloworld and had been living in Alberton the past five years. Photo supplied.

Pasop - jou goeie bedoelings kan jou beursie dalk ‘n lelike knou toedien.

Dit is die nare ervaring wat ‘n in­woner en besigheidsman van Makha­do (Louis Trichardt), wat graag anoniem wil bly, verlede week gehad het toe hy iemand wat hy gedink het in ‘n penarie is, wou help. Die uiteinde was dat hy duisende rande moes af­staan aan twee gladdebek bedrieërs wat hom telefonies ‘n rat voor die oë

gedraai het.Die besigheidsman het verlede

week ‘n oproep gekry van ‘n man wat hom voorgedoen het as ‘n sakekennis. Hy het gepleit om hulp, want hy was sogenaamd deur die Makhado Polisie gearresteer en sou die besigheidsman hom asseblief kon help, sou hy elke sent terugbetaal.

Sonder om onraad te vermoed het die sakeman ingestem om te help

Court spectators could hear the clanking of chains long before the 24-year-old Given Mpofu appeared in the Louis Trichardt District Court on Tuesday.

Mpofu managed to escape from police custody earlier this year on 31 January with his co­accused Dzulani Nemukula (23), Evans Chipara and Trust Chikwadzi. Mpofu and Chipara were re­arrested in Zimbabwe on 8 February. Since then, Mpofu has been very verbal about his intentions to escape again. He reportedly told the police and court personnel that he would try again if he got even the smallest chance.

Chikwadzi managed to elude the police for a little longer, but has since also been rearrested. He also appeared with Mpofu on Tuesday.

Mpofu, Chipara and Chikwadzi, before their arrest, were facing

charges of robbery, armed robbery and house breaking, together with a fourth co­accused, Phumudzo Ra­madzi, who did not escape with them.

On Tuesday, only Mpofu and Chikwadzi appeared in court. They asked for a postponement date to afford them the time to finalize their Legal Aid application and make a representation to the senior control prosecutor. Both men were heavily chained and several of the police’s Public Order and Protection Sector (POPS) surrounded them.

Mpofu and Chikwadzi’s case was postponed until 11 July, and they were remanded in custody until then. The newspaper was able to determine that Mpofu and Chikwadzi’s various criminal charges will be combined with those of Nemukula and Ramadzi in one court, after which a trial date will be determined.

­ hy het gemeen die kennis gaan ‘n duisend rand, op die meeste, vra om te leen. Toe nie. Altesaam het die be­sigheidsman R5 000 verloor.

Die bedrieër se storie was dat hy gevang is, maar v r y g e l a a t s o u word indien hy die polisie omkoop met selfoonlug­tyd. Hy het ‘n beroep gedoen op die sakeman om vir hom lugtydbewyse te koop, en die kodes aan te stuur met ‘n SMS.

Omdat daar, in daardie stadium, ‘n vrou op die lyn gekom het wat haar­self as ‘n polisiekaptein voorgestel het, het die sakeman nog nie onraad vermoed nie. Die “polisiekaptein” het gesê hulle gaan die man toesluit as hulle nie die lugtydkodes vinnig genoeg kry nie. So gesê, so gedaan, en terwyl die “beskuldigde” aangehou het, het die sakeman lugtyd gekoop op sy kredietkaart.

Hy het egter begin snuf in die neus kry toe daar meer versoeke gekom het vir nóg lugtyd – nogals van al die verskillende netwerkverskaffers.

Elke keer as die sakeman ‘n lug­tydkode aangestuur het, het die “be­skuldigde” gevra vir nog, en begin huil as die sakeman geweier het. By die R5 000­kerf het die sakeman halt geroep en die man gevra om te wag by die polisiestasie sodat hy hom kon gaan haal. Hierop het die “polisekaptein” op die lyn gekom en glo gesê hulle sal nou die man vrylaat en hom kom aflaai by die sakeman se besigheidsperseel, sodat hy hom die

verskuldigde geld kan terugbetaal.Die sakeman wag nou nog.‘n Poging deur die sakeman om sy

kredietkaarttran­saksies te stop was onsuksesvol. Die raad wat hy vanuit die regte polisiegeledere gekry het, was

om die verlies te absorbeer en aan te beweeg. Hy het ook die regte sakev­ennoot gebel, en dié het ontken dat dit hy was wat vir hulp gebel het.

Die Makhado Polisiestasie is ge­nader vir kommentaar en attent gemaak daarop dat daar ‘n persoon of persone is wat hulle voordoen as polisiemaglede om die publiek skade aan te doen. Plaaslike polisiewoord­voerder A/O Takalani Madzhigili het hierdie week bevestig dat daar nie veel is wat hulle op die oomblik kan doen nie, aangesien daar nie ‘n klag by die stasie ingedien is nie.

Hy het ook bygevoeg dat die polisie nie bewus is van enige ander soortge­lyke gevalle nie.

Intussen het die Zoutpansberger verneem dat daar Dinsdag ‘n man in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof verskyn het wat daarvan beskuldig word dat hy homself as ‘n polisieoff­isier voorgedoen het. Die 34­jarige Emmanuel Radzilani het glo gemaak asof hy polisieman is, en R3 000 van iemand as betaling ontvang om die persoon by te staan met ‘n bestuurder­slisensie­aansoek.

Hy sal weer op 11 Julie in die hof moet verskyn, waarna sy verhoor na verwagting ‘n aanvang sal neem.

Still no water action planBy Linda van der Westhuizen

Hofnuus

Verdagtes in Kelly-moord op borgtog uit

Deur Linda van der Westhuizen

SBV nooi inwoners om rekenings te stuur sodat diverse fooie ondersoek kan wordDie Soutpansberg Belasting-betalersvereniging is besig om munisipale rekeningprobleme te ondersoek en vra die ge-meenskap om probleme met rekeninge, veral met betrek-king tot sogenaamde “aan-passings” op die rekenings, onder hul aandag te bring.

Aanpassings op rekenings word aangegee as adjustments of diverse (sundries). Belasting­betalers kan oplet na enige bedrag wat nie deel vorm van die normale heffings of ver­bruik nie.

Kennington Lodge het sewe maande nadat ‘n rekeningpro­bleem uitgesorteer was, skielik in Desember 2013 ‘n rekening ontvang met drie bedrae as diverse (sundries) en BTW by elkeen, wat in totaal net minder

as R4 300 beloop het. Dit het ‘n daaglikse stryd van vier maande gekos om die rede daarvoor agter te kom en dit reggestel te kry. Dit was sogenaamde r egskoste gegrond op die eer­ste rekeningprobleem wat agt maande geneem het om uit te sorteer. “Geen regsaksies was

ooit geneem nie, daar het slegs ‘n persoon ‘n papier gebring met ‘n verkeerde erf nommer op en hy kon geen naam of tele­foonnommer van sogenaamde prokureurs verskaf nie. Die probleem is dat die rekenaar­sisteme nie op datum gebring word nie en dat die sisteem dan outomaties begin regsfooie hef,” het me. Marie Peché, Kennington se bestuurder, gesê.

Die Lalapanzi Hotel se krag is vir vier ure afgesny en daar

het ook ‘n bedrag van meer as R4 000 op die rekening ver­skyn. “Die rekeninge is ‘n groot gemors. Die munisipaliteit plaas enige iets op die rekening en sê daarna dat die rekening agter­stallig is. As die munisipa liteit sy werk doen, dan is al hierdie geskarrel nie nodig nie,” het

me. Inga Gilfil­lan, eienaar van die hotel en ook voorsitter van die SBBV, gesê.

‘n Navraag in verband met Ken­nington Lodge is op 31 Maart aan die Makha­do Munisipaliteit gestuur, waarna hulle geweier het om navrae oor ‘n individue le rek­ening te beant­woord.

Die algemene navrae oor rek­eningprobleme is ook onbeant­woord gelaat en by verskeie ge­leenthede weer aangestuur. Die

munisipaliteit het op 10 Junie gevra dat die rekeningnavrae weer in ‘n aparte e­pos aange­stuur word.

Belastingbetalers wat diverse bedrae of aanpassings op hul munisipale rekening kry, kan hul rekening faks na 086 743 6395 of dit skandeer en e­pos na [email protected] of hulle kan die SBBV bestuurder, mnr. Phillip Olivier, by 082 679 8324 skakel.

Die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging is besig om munisipale rekeningprobleme te ondersoek en vra die gemeenskap om probleme met rekeninge, veral met betrekking tot sogenaamde “aanpassings” (adjustments) of diverse bedrae (sundries) op die rekenings, onder hul aandag te bring.

“The Vhembe District Munic-ipality has been missing every deadline on the water supply action plan,” says the civil rights organization AfriForum.

The organization is currently consulting with its legal team with a view to taking the stron­gest possible urgent legal action to ensure the completion of the plan which would limit water flow interruptions to Makhado (Louis Trichardt) to the mini­mum.

Vhembe agreed on 26 Novem­ber last year to have the action plan added onto the court order that AfriForum had obtained in October 2012 and changed to in­clude personal responsibility on 16 May last year. The plan hinges on five main activities, but is not quite on track. * New boreholes were to be constructed around the Mowkop reservoir to supplement water supply during breakdowns of the ageing Albasini pipeline or at the Albasini water treatment works. These boreholes should have been drilled, equipped, a pipeline to the reservoir complet­ed and electrification should have been done by 7 April this year. Vhembe confirmed this week that nothing has been complet­ed in this regard. “The driving and managing of this project was neglected by Vhembe’s technical manager, Mr Ratidzai Madimutsa,” said Mr Wally Schultz, chairperson of the local AfriForum branch

* The repair of the existing boreholes was an important proj­ect to supply the Bergh reservoir with water and should have been completed by 29 March. “The vandalism at the boreholes was one of the factors that delayed us,” said Vhembe’s Makhado water services manager, Mr David Mukosi. Other delays included late payment of con­tractors and lack of co­ordination between the two municipalities. Vhembe said that they were waiting for Makhado to do the electrification at the boreholes.

* The security at the water infrastructure had been a con­tentious point for long. “We appreciate the work that has been done to erect cement palisade fencing at several points. In the same breath, I am utterly disgust­ed that there is no security at the Albasini plant,” said Schultz. He also tells about a fight of many weeks to get Vhembe to give the appropriate order to the company responsible for security at the boreholes. “Madimutsa said that they should proceed without the proper order, which they could not do,” said Schultz.

* Contained in the plan was the construction of pipelines to connect the new boreholes in President Street and at the caravan park to the Bergh Street reservoir. Vhembe confirmed that President Street’s borehole had been connected but not the one at the caravan park. This one is

currently linked directly to the main reticulation system.

* The upgrading at the Al­basini water treatment works is a programme funded by the Municipal Water Infrastructure Grant (MWIG) with a total cost of R23 million, including work at the two pump stations at the plant, work at the three pump stations between the Albasini and the Mowkop reservoir and civil engineering work at the Albasini pump stations. Vhembe confirmed that these were not progressing according to plan.

“The court had previously ordered Vhembe, as well as the municipal manager, to deliver water. We may even ask the court to judge on the competence of Mr Madimutsa, whose lack of management halts the projects,” said Schultz.

Vhembe spokesperson Mr Matodzi Ralushai said that they were not happy with AfriForum’s threat of going back to court. “We have tried very well to improve our relationship with AfriForum. We have improved our communi­cation to explain about the water situation. Our municipal manager is always working with AfriFo­rum and we have spent a lot of money on the old infrastructure,” Ralushai said. As to the quality of management of the water supply action plan, he was rather vague. “We have a technical director and a team there in Makhado,” Ralushai said.

Die twee mans wat verdink word van die aanval op mnr. Hannes Kelly van Levubu is borg toegestaan.

Tabelo Teophillus Singage (20) en Maxwel Conti Ntatamala (23) het verlede Vrydag in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof ver­skyn op enkele klagte van moord en huisbraak. Hulle is op 10 Mei vanjaar gearresteer, nadat ‘n sel­

foon wat glo aan Kelly behoort het, in hul besit gevind is.

Die 52­jarige Kelly is op Wer­kersdag (1 Mei) deur twee mans met hamers en stokke aangeval, terwyl hy besig was om sy vullis uit te neem.

Die rowers het Kelly vir dood agtergelaat, nadat hulle hom ge­forseer het om sy kluis vir hulle oop te maak en al sy geld en selfone geroof het. Kelly is drie

dae later oorlede nadat hy by die Louis Trichardt Gedenkhospitaal inmekaar gesak het.

Intussen is Singage en Ntata­mala se saak uitgestel tot Augus­tus, terwyl daar gewag word op ‘n beslissing van die Direkteur van Openbare Vervolging of hulle vervolg moet word al dan nie.

Altwee mans is vrygelaat, nadat borg van R2 000 elk aan hulle toegestaan is.

Epilepsy South Africa celebrates National Epilepsy Week annually, with National Epilepsy Day on the 21st of June each year.

This day being winter solstice (longest night and shortest day), we strive to take epilepsy out of the shadows of misconception into the

light of understanding and acceptance.

Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition. About 1 in every 100 people in South Africa has epilepsy.

People can contact their nearest Epilepsy South Africa Branch by dialling our sharecall number: 0860 EPILEPSY (0860 374 537),

visiting our website at www.epilepsy.org.za or following us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/epilepsy.southafrica) or Twitter (@EpilepsySA).

What is epilepsy and what causes epilepsy?• Epilepsy is not a mental illness or psychiatric disorder. • Epilepsy is not infectious or contagious. • It is a physical condition characterised by unusual electrical activity in the brain. • It is a symptom of a neurological disorder and shows itself in the form of seizures.• In approximately 66% of cases the underlying cause of epilepsy is unknown. . In the

rest of the cases the underlying cause can be identified such as:- A result of head injury that can occur at any age;- Birth injury (such as lack of oxygen during birth);- Alcohol and drug abuse;- Degeneration (getting older), and- Metabolic or biochemical disturbances or imbalance.

By Frans van der Merwe

Terwyl inwoners en ander motoriste nog daag-liks in woonbuurtes en in die sentrale sakegebied in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) op die tande kners oor die oormaat van slaggate, word daar fluks gevorder met ingrypende herstel aan strate op verskeie plekke in die dorp.

Sommige strate is egter so erg verwaarloos dat dit nou teen hoë koste heeltemal herbou moet word. Sulke duur herstelwerk wag ook nog in die

woonbuurtes.Ingrypende herstel aan slaggate by die ooste­

like ingang van die dorp op die Vivo pad is nou voltooi. Herstelwerk is ook voltooi in die gedeelte van Groblerstraat suid van Rissiktraat, by die hoofingang na die suidwestelike nywerheidsgebied.

Soortgelyke slaggatherstel vorder ook by die suidelike ingang vanaf Madombidzha in Kortstraat tot digby die spooroorgang, waar die oopgrawe van gate nou aan die gang is. Verkeer word tans gereël met stop­en­ry beurte op hierdie bedrywige suidelike straatverlenging van Kroghstraat.

In die erg­beskadigde, verwaarloosde gedeelte van Krugerstraat tussen Erasmus­ en Joubertstraat, word die hele straatgedeelte nou herbou, na etlike weke se noodhulp aksie om die talle gevaarlike slaggate met gruis toe te stop. Dit bring ontwrigting mee vir die normale toegang tot die bedrywige Premjee­groothandelsaak.

In die gevaarlike gedeelte van Devenish se aansluiting by Kroghstraat, is die voorlopige voorbereiding van die slaggat­herstelwerk nog onvoltooid, met teerwerk wat nog moet plaasvind.

‘n Span van die Makhado Munisipaliteit se “Expanded Public Works Programme” is besig met herstelwerk aan slaggate in en langs Baobabstraat in die omgewing van die OK Grocer, in die nuwe uitbreiding aan die oostekant van die N1. Verskeie ander ondernemings is besig met ander groter herstelwerkkontrakte.

Grootskaalse ontwrigting sal nog ‘n geruime tyd voortduur by die Eltivillas bus­ en taxistasie, waar volledige herbouing aan die gang is. Grond­uitgrawings en –verskuiwings ter voorbereiding van die totale herbouing van strate duur daar voort. Dit bring nie net vir die taxi’s en busse probleme mee nie; dit veroorsaak ernstige probleme vir die sake­ondernemings in die Eltivillas sakegebied, wie se gebruiklike kliënte­parkering nou bykans in sy geheel in beslag geneem word deur die kommersiële passasiersvoertuie. Die voorbereid­ing vir die herbouing bemoeilik ook toegang vir swaar afleweringsvoertuie wat sakeondernemings soos Pick ‘n Pay aan die suidekant van Makhado Crossing moet bedien.

Die besige verkeer in Kortstraat (die suidelike verlenging van Kroghstraat) in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) word met stop-en-ry beurte gereël, terwyl herstelwerk aan die gang is van slaggate digby die spoorwegoorgang. In die foto is die werkers van ‘n kontrakteur besig met die uitgrawing en voorbereiding vir die herstel van slaggate. Die straat is die bedrywige ingang vanaf Madombidzha.

‘n Span van die Makhado Munisipaliteit se spesiale bouspan poseer saam vir ‘n foto by die herstelwerk wat in en om Baobabstraat, naby OK Grocer, aan die gang is. Die reeks lastige slaggate by hierdie bedrywige sirkelstraat word nou diep uitgegrawe, ferm opgevul en dan geteer.

Slaggat-herstel word met mening aangepak

Krugerstraat, tussen Erasmus- en Joubertstraat in Makhado (Louis Trichardt), word nou in sy geheel oorgebou deur ‘n kontrakteur. In die foto is die ingrypende voorbereiding vir die rehabilitasie van die stuk straat aan die gang, met swaar toerusting wat besig is met gronduitgrawings en -verskuiwingswerk. Dieselfde werk is op aansienlik-uitgebreide skaal tans ook aan die gang by die taxi- en busstasie by Eltivillas se sakegebied.

Links: Ingrypende voorbereidings aan die gang vir die herstel van slaggate by die ingang van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) op die begin van die Vivo pad. Die foto is geneem terwyl d ie voorbere id ing aan die gang was. Die gedeelte by die dorpsingang, digby die Tshikota afdraaipad, is nou reeds voltooi.

In die lig van toenemende druk op die landbousektor om met werkbare planne vorendag te kom om grondhervorming in Suid-Afrika te verwesenlik, sê Agri Limpopo dit is nodig om die debat oor grondhervorming in Limpopo te fasiliteer.

In dié verband reël Agri Lim­popo ‘n slypskool op 25 Junie. Die president van Agri Limpopo, mnr. Leon Borcherds, het ‘n be roep gedoen op landbouers,

insetverskaffers, finansierders en elkeen wat belang het by die land­bou in Limpopo, om te registreer vir hierdie slypskool.

Volgens Borcherds het die slypskool ten doel om die risiko’s van die proses uit te wys aan die Staat en boere; mandate te gee aan onderhandelaars oor hierdie sake; en om werkbare planne wat die “angel” uit grondhervorming sal haal, aan die gang te sit.

“Ek doen ’n ernstige beroep op

elke geaffekteerde party in Lim­popo landbou, groot boer, kleiner boer, opkomende boer, almal, om die dag by te woon. Moenie dink jy is te gering om ‘n bydrae of ‘n verskil te maak nie. Ons het almal se insette, raad en wysheid nodig,” het Borcherds gesê.

SBBV wil verder baklei teen nuwe waardasierolDeur LInda van der Westhuizen

Die Soutpansberg Belasting-betalersvereniging (SBBV) gaan die Makhado munisipale bestuurder se hulp inroep by die komitee wat oor die waar-dasierol moet vergader.

“Ons het versoek dat mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali [munisipale bestuurder] die komiteeverga­dering persoonlik moet kom lei, aangesien ons iemand met meer insig en beter menseverhou dinge benodig,” het die voorsitter van die SBBV, me. Inga Gilfi llan, verlede week gesê.

Die SBBV het op 12 Mei uit die eerste komiteevergadering

gestap nadat die voorsittende direkteur van beplanning en ont­wikkeling, me. Dakalo Sinthu­mule, hulle nie kans wou gee om oor die ooglopende foute op die waardasierol as geheel te praat nie.

“Na ‘n gesprek met die muni­sipale bestuurder, gaan ons weer die vergadering bywoon. Ons gaan versoek dat die implemen­tering van die rol uitgestel word en die probleme met die rol eers onder die knie gekry word.

Die verhoging in waardasies en in die tarief is onaanvaarbaar en onbetaalbaar,” het Gilfi llan

gesê.Baie beswaarde huiseienaars

wonder wat gaan word van die besware wat hulle ingedien het. Baie het groot kostes aangegaan om hulle plekke deur ‘n onaf­hanklike waardeerder te laat waardeer om dié waardasie by hulle beswaar te kon voeg. Wan­neer kry hulle terugvoer van die munisipaliteit? Bitter min mense is deur die munisipaliteit gekon­tak na afl oop van hul besware. Die SBBV weet van twee van hul lede wat gekontak is. Daar is sowat 800 besware by die muni­sipaliteit ingedien.

“Die SBBV se voorstel is ‘n verhoging van 6% op die vorige waardasierol se waardes en ‘n nuwe tydperk van beswaar, met implementering daarna. Die verhoging is dan op infl asie geb­aseer. Ons beskou so ‘n oplos sing as ‘n wen­wen situasie,” het Gilfi llan gesê.

Die SBBV het ‘n brief van die Makhado Munisipaliteit ontvang wat bevestig dat die nuwe hef­fi ngs op 1 Julie geïmplementeer word.

Die brief sê dat die maksimum toelaatbare rente gehef sal word vanaf die eerste dag van die

maand wat volg op die maand waarin die rekening betaalbaar is. Die SBBV het in ‘n skrywe beswaar gemaak teen die heffi ng van rente vanaf die eerste van ‘n maand, aangesien die rekening betaalbaar is teen die 7de van ‘n maand.

Die munisipaliteit het hulle vasstelling van tariewe vir die 2014/15 fi nansiële jaar wat op 1 Julie in werking tree, amptelik op 6 Junie afgekondig, met ‘n beswaartydperk van 21 dae. Die algemene tariewe soos die heffing vir vullisverwydering, lisensiefooie, bouplanfooie,

begrafplaasfooie en diesulkes word met 5.4% verhoog, terwyl elektrisiteit met 7.39% verhoog word.

Wat eiendomsbelasting betref, is die bestaande heffi ng in die rand met 5.3% verhoog.

Die SBBV het op 10 Junie hul beswaar ingedien teen die eiendomsbelasting verhoging, aangesien die waardes van eien­domme in die nuwe waardasierol met verskillende persentasies verhoog is sodat die werklike verhoging op die reke ning “on­bekostigbaar en meer as die infl asiestyging” is.

New premises, same delicious foodStar Pleasure Foods opened in Eltivillas in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) six months ago, and has now moved on 1 June to the same premises as Star Café, situated at Shop 38 in Commercial Road.

This is an excellent arrange­ment, since clients of Mr Omar Kalla, owner of Star Café and supermarket, can now also benefi t from the delicious home cooking of his spouse, Mrs

Zurayda Kalla of Star Pleasure Foods.

In addition, Zurayda has her own client base. “I get very good feedback, especially about my samoosas. People are going crazy for them. But people must not just take my word for it but come and try it for themselves,” says Zurayda.

She does not only prepare samoosas but also dishes with chips, such as russians and

chips, hot dogs, roti rolls and all burgers, as well as pies and savouries, curries, pizzas, heat­and­eat products, such as frozen croutons, and cakes and confectionaries. “Whatever you need for cake décor or theme decoration, such as Winnie the Pooh and so on, you can get it here,” says Zurayda, who sells molds, cookie cutters, cake decor, sprinkles and more. She has ready­made cake mixes for

black forest cake, red velvet cake and carrot cake, all homemade. Clients can buy Zurayda’s bases or pastry as well as the fi llings and do the baking themselves.

“I do the preparing myself, then I know what I give my customers. So far, I have had good response,” says Zurayda, who has Patricia Mukhawa to assist her. Zurayda has always loved cooking and baking, but stopped for a while because of ill health. Now her health is re­stored and she is back in full force.

Those who require bulk cooking like breyanis, curries and rotis for their functions, can contact Zurayda at 084 813 3631 or 076 220 8155. The landline 015 516 6653 will also be available soon.

Star Pleasure Foods, with lovely homecooking and products by Mrs Zurayda Kalla, has moved to the same premises as Star Café, situated in Commercial Road, Eltivillas.

Woman caught with explosives at border

Eendag as ek groot is ... gaan ek ‘n fi etsryer wees. Vrydag, 6 Junie, se plesierrit van die PPC Kremetart Fietswedren was ‘n geleentheid vir die hele gesin. Hannelie Bruce was een van vele mammas wat saam met haar kinders aan die pretrit deelgeneem het. Van links na regs is haar kinders, Carla en Aiden.

Residents of the Soutpansberg were left in the dark for several hours last week, together with a large portion of the nation.

Eskom declared a state of emergency on Wednesday, 11 June, when the power system came under severe constraint, forcing them to implement a load shedding schedule. The national electricity supplier said in a press statement that the load shedding of Wednesday was after “a re­duction in electricity demand was

required in the early evening in order to balance the electricity system, which was implemented according to Eskom’s load shed­ding schedule.”

For locals this meant almost two and a half hours of total darkness.

Due to this, Eskom further indicated that it would require voluntary savings (from the public) of at least 10% in order to manage the electricity demand. The cooler weather has report­

edly increased the demand, es­pecially between the peak hours from 17:00 until 21:00.

On Tuesday, Eskom indicat­ed that the nation’s electricity supply was stable again. They predicted no load shedding for the coming weeks, but warned that they will need to improvise if another cold front hits South Africa. Eskom spokesperson Mr Andrew Etzinger urged people to use electricity wisely.

“No load shedding is planned, and of course our en­deavour is to make sure we do not go back to load shedding, but of course if we do see a cold front coming in, the grid will be under greater pressure and we would need the support of the public to keep demand at manageable levels,” said Etzinger.

In the meantime, Es­kom has posted pro­posed load shedding schedules on the i r website (http://www.loadshedding.eskom.co.za), which will only be implemented as a last resort if the electricity supply cannot meet the demand and the power system is placed at risk.

If there is load shed­ding to be implemented, it will take place for two hours at a time in most instances, and Eskom will communicate at the time which stage of load shedding they will implement.

Efforts made to ob­tain the Makhado Mu­nicipality’s proposed load shedding schedule were fruitless by the time of going to press, despite numerous fol­low­up calls and emails.

A woman who allegedly tried to smuggle explosives into South Africa by strapping and hiding them onto her body was caught at the Beit Bridge border post.

The 41­year­old Sibonginkosi Mhlakanipiswa of Zimbabwe was cornered by a police offi cer on duty at the border post during the early morning hours of Thurs­day, 12 June. Mhlakanipiswa was travelling on foot. Provincial po­lice spokesperson Brig Hangwani Mulaudzi confi rmed the arrest.

“Some of them [the explo­

sives] were also on her body, and as such she was arrested immediately,” he said in a press statement.

A total of 40 detonators and 40 cartridges were collect­ed as evidence by the police. Mhlakanipiswa was taken to Musina where she remained in police custody until she could be brought before a court. She briefl y appeared in the Messina Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, 17 June, and her case was post­poned until July for a formal bail application. According to

Mulaudzi, she faces charges of unauthorised importation, supply and/or possession of explosives.

According to Mulaudzi , Mhlakanipiswa is a fi rst offender and her fate will be left entirely up to the court.

He further expressed concern over the recurrence of suspects caught trying to smuggle ex­plosives into the republic. “We suspect these are used for ille­gal mining activities and ATM bombings,” said Mulaudzi.

Mhlakanipiswa’s next court appearance is on 18 July.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

1 Kor. 13:1-8

God verwag van Sy kinders om ander mense lief te hê. Dit beteken ons

moet nie dinge doen, of sê, wat ander kan seermaak nie.

Vandag se skrifgedeelte leer ons wat Christelike liefde is.

Romeine 12:20 sê ons moet ons vyande iets gee om te eet as hulle honger is, en iets om te drink wanneer hulle dors is. Dan sê die Skrif: “Maak jy hom vuurrooi van skaamte”, want jy het ‘n goeie daad teenoor hom bewys. Dan bly hulle nie meer ‘n vyand nie maar word ‘n vriend.

God het Sy groot liefde aan ons bewys toe ons nog sondaars was (Rom. 5:8). Hy was bereid om Sy Seun, Jesus Christus, te stuur oms ons kinders aan die kruis te dra.

Wanneer ons verstaan wat Jesus, uit liefde vir ons, gedoen het, sal ons tot Hom roep om genade, en Hy sal ons vriend wees. (Joh. 15:14). Dan het jy die beste Vriend vir ewig.

Christen, doen jy alles in jou vermoë om ‘n vriend te maak van hulle wat jou sleg behandel?

Deur God se genade kan jy. - 079 5168303

Round Table’s Penguin Day collects more than R50 000 for local needy

Daisy vlieg hoog, lett erlik en fi guurlik. Die aantreklike eienaar van die buurplaas het haar kom haal vir ‘n ete-afspraak. Tot Daisy se verbasing was dit nie ‘n uitstappie na ‘n plaaslike restaurant nie, maar na sy privaat vliegveld waar hulle bestemming Johannesburg was. Kort voor lank het hulle drankies in die Saxon geniet met die buurman wat uitbrei oor sy verlede.

se “date” verander in ‘n Mills & Boon-held

Nou kyk, Daisy is baie gewoond.Dis die ding van iemand wat daarvan hou

om aan die beweeg te bly – daar is min plekke of dinge wat hulle nie ondersoek nie. Boonop het Daisy tydens haar korporatiewe lewe in die beste plekke gewerk en gebly en met formida-bele mense skouers geskuur.

Maar niks behalwe haar wildste drome het Daisy voorberei op die Saxon nie. Die elegante interieur (pure Afrika, maar wêrelde verwyder van die geykte Groot Vyf!), die onopsigtelike maar uiters professionele personeel, die subtiele beligting en massas vars rose en lelies in die restaurant...

Te midde van hierdie weelde is daar een ding wat vir Daisy uitstaan: die man met die blousel-blou oë. Dit is vir haar duidelik dat Bernard bekend is in hierdie omgewing, dat almal hom ken en respekteer – die personeel én die gaste. Bernard is gemaklik en ontspanne en is ‘n per-fekte gasheer. In die restaurant vra hy vir Daisy of sy sal omgee as hy vir haar kos en wyn sal bestel.

“Weet jy, Bernard, dis my idee van die perfek-te date – dat ek geen besluite hoef te neem nie. Dit sal ‘n heerlike avontuur wees en ek weet jy sal die wonderlikste keuses maak!” Daisy glim-lag stralend vir hierdie man wat net nooit ophou om haar te verras nie.

“Bernard, sal jy omgee as ek jou ‘n paar persoonlike vrae vra?”

“Ek vermoed half wat jy gaan vra, Daisy” lag Bernard. “En dis nou toeval, want die hele rede hoekom ek jou in my vliegtuig ontvoer het vir aandete hier by die Saxon, is om met jou te

gesels oor my lewe weg van Waterpoort af.”Tussen die Franse sjampanje wat bedien word

saam met die kreef, deur die gevulde kwartels bedien met truffel ravioli, die bottel uitstekende shiraz, die delikate sjokolade kunswerke bedien op ‘n groot kristalbord, tot by die laaste koffi e na die kaasbord - gesels Bernard en Daisy. Vir ‘n verandering is dit Bernard wat die meeste praatwerk doen; Daisy se verbystering word net groter. Hierdie deel van Bernard het sy nie eers vermoed nie.

Hy vertel haar van sy kinderlewe – enigste kind van skatryk ouers – hoe eensaam en verlate hy was alhoewel daar uiters goed na hom omge-sien is. Sy ouers se sakebelange het ‘n groot tol geëis en van ‘n geborge familielewe was daar nie veel sprake nie.

“Skoolvakansies het ek by my oupa en ouma Young op die plaas kom kuier. Daar het ek die wonderlikste tye van my lewe beleef. Hulle het hulle nie aan status of geld of mense gesteur nie, hulle was beginselvas en plat op die aarde. Die eenvoudige dinge het vir hulle saakgemaak, nie die familietrusts en wêreldwye beleggings nie. My ouma het my ‘n liefde vir kosmaak geleer omdat sy dit geniet het om haar liefde in kos uit te druk. My oupa se passie was vlieg – dis hy wat die aanloopbaan laat bou het op die plaas – en hy het my van vroeg af leer vlieg. Hy het my vir my vyftiende verjaarsdag ‘n PPL kursus persent gegee en gereël dat ek dit in die vakan-sies kan voltooi.”

“In die stad was my lewe ewe opwindend. Ek het ‘n personeellid gehad vir elke moontlike ding – ‘n chauffeur, ‘n chef, ‘n au pair en later ‘n sekretaresse, onderwysers en tutors, lyfwagte. Daar was klasse in klassieke musiek en later jazz, Oosterse gevegskuns, teken en skilder, fi losofi e, astrologie, kwantum fi sika. Alhoewel

ek nie die voorreg van betrokke ouers gehad het nie, wou hulle my elke moontlike geleentheid gee om tot my volle potensiaal te ontwikkel. Daar was baie vriende; kinders van my ouers se vriende en sakekennisse. Maar die vriendskappe was gedwonge en die hele blêddie spul was snobs en nerds!”

“Dis op die plaas waar ek net ‘n kind was. Waar ek in die modder kon speel met my John Deere trekkertjies en sleepwaens, met die Cater-pillars kon speel-speel damme maak...” Bernard se oë skitter. “Daar het my oupa Sean my geleer om die real thing ook te bestuur. Hy het my leer skiet, leer jag. Hy het my geleer van die bos waarvoor hy so lief was. En sommer van ander mandinge ook – houtwerk, motoronderhoud, verfwerk.”

“Op die plaas het ek die waarde van geld ge leer. Daar het ek soos ‘n doodgewone kind sakgeld gekry en ek moes daarvan spaar as ek iets soos ‘n nuwe fi ets wou hê. My ouma het weer seker gemaak dat ek bewus was van die sosio-maatskaplike omstandighede van die men se op die plaas. Sy het my betrek met die plant van groentetuine vir die werkers en ek het ‘n klein hoenderboerdery en slaghuis begin. Naweke het my oupa vir my en die werkers leer bakstene maak en basiese messelwerk laat doen. Hulle het die fi losofi e om mense te leer visvang en nie visse uit te deel nie, ten volle uitgeleef.”

Daisy kan haar ore nie glo nie. “Bernard, jy weet jy het my al lankal beïndruk, nê? Nog lank voor jy my met ‘n vliegtuig uitgevat het vir ete. En nog lank voor ek met al my bling oor die drumpel van die Saxon getrippel het.”

“Hierdie storietjies is glad nie nodig om ekstra punte te kry by my nie ... Inteendeel, ek voel so verlore soos Aspoestertjie sonder haar glasskoen!”

Na aanleiding van u berig in die Zoutpansberger van 13 Junie,

net so ’n enkele gedagte en opmer­king te maak:

My eie huis se waardasie het ontplof met ‘n 139% verhoging, wat beteken dat die toename ‘n onge­loofl ike 35% per jaar is. ‘n Toename wat infl asie bykans ses keer klop.

“There is no challenge with the current valuation roll concerning its correctness and professional qual-ity”. Nadat 800 plus “challenges” ingedien is wat die korrektheid van die waardasies en professionaliteit van die waardeerders bevraagteken, ontken die Makhado Munisipaliteit dit steeds dat enige besware inge­dien is, selfs nie die 800 besware van eienaars gedoen op die vorms soos voorsien deur die Makhado Munisipaliteit, teen die verhoogde waardasie van sy/haar eiendom nie. Val al hierdie besware dan ook onder klousule 2 van seksie 50 van die Munisipale Eiendomsbelasting Wet?

Weens bogenoemde en berigte in die Zoutpansberger, sal dit sekerlik nie verkeerd wees om:

* Die Makhado Munisipaliteit se amptenary se houding jeens die waardasie fi asko op te som as ‘n tipies ANC­, Zuma­, Gwede Mantashe­, jeugliga­reaksie op ‘n Makhado Munisipaliteit “Nkand­la” wat ten alle koste verbloem en onder die mat ingevee moet word.

* Die Makhado Munisipaliteit en dan by persoon mnr. Sakkie Mutshinyali, uit te nooi om in die Zoutpansberger die name van die

waardeerders wat getender het plus koste vir die waardasieproses, naam van die waardeerder aan wie die tender toegeken is, koste van die tender, bedrag betaal nadat alles af­gehandel is, asook die voorgeskrewe proses wat die waardeerder moes volg om tot ’n waarde vir ’n eien­dom te kon besluit te laat publiseer.

* Mnr. Mutshinyali daarop te wys dat dit tog duidelik is dat die aanslag deur die munisipaliteit teen die blanke inwoners van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) veral oor die laas­te vyf jaar daarop gemik is om hulle te marginaliseer en uit die dorp uit te dryf.

* Met die jongste drakoniese aan­val van belasting op die inwoners is nou gevorder tot op die punt wat die Makhado Munisipaliteit se vendetta begin inbreuk maak op die brood en botter sake van die inwoners van die dorp. (Die stadig groterwordende stroompie blanke inwoners wat die dorp verlaat en die gepaardgaande probleem om van eiendom teen markwaarde [ vergeet van nuwe munisipale waarde], ontslae te raak, is stille getuienis van wat in die dorp besig is om te gebeur).

Die laaste dringende vraag is:Op grond waarvan, in vergelyking

met watter dorp of dorpe, met inag­neming van die inwoners se fi skale vermoë, kon mnr. Mutshinyali en sy amptenary dit selfs oorweeg het om sulke absurde belastingverhogings goed te keur en aan te beveel vir goedkeuring deur die Raad? - Carel Breytenbach

On May 31, Round Table Zoupans­berg 66 from Makhado (Louis

Trichardt) hosted a food gathering project, aptly named Penguin Day.

The idea behind this annual proj­ect is for Tablers to dress formally in tuxedos, also known as Penguin Suits, and beg the community for food that will later be distributed to the needy and destitute in our own community.

The response to Penguin Day was awesome. Three local motor vehicle dealerships, Bridge Auto, Werda Toyota and Imperial GM, challenged each other and support­ed the Tablers at different venues around town on who could gather the most food. They started things off by knocking on their clients’ and friends’ doors and, before the kick­off, had already collected almost three bakkies full of donations. Then came the biggest surprise ­ the community opened their hearts and shopping baskets in support and fi lled another three bakkie loads.

Penguin Day closed off with six bakkies full and R4 169.65 in cash

donations. The total estimate for the day was in excess of R50 000.

Round Table would like to thank the Louis Trichardt community and the following businesses for contributing: Bridge Auto, Werda Toyota, Imperial GM, Pick n Pay, Game, Checkers, Masana Training and Social Development, Vector Pe­troleum, Reckson Padziri, Mannda Padziri, Tambu Padziri, Phumudzo Padziri, John, Mphakoma Fitment Centre, Tiger Wheel & Tyre, Teboho Mamorobela, Harold Muswobi, Nilotruch (Pty) Ltd, Tuff Guard, Matibe, Mpho Motsei, Padziri Bus Services, Lefty Mabirimisa, Smash & Grab, Africa Metals, Rainbow Spares, LTT Bolt & Nut, Mapula Enterprises, Check­U­Red, Murovhi, Elim Spar, Automotive Parts & Exports, Lunaka, Brake & Clutch, Big 5 Security, Bearing Man, Spar Louis Trichardt, Spar Thohoyandou, Tops Thohoyandou, Soutpansberg Koelkamers, Metcor and the Zoutpansberger.

Makhado (Louis Trichardt) was well represented during the 70 km cycling challenge of this year’s PPC Kremetart Road Race on 7 June.

More than 100 cyclists participated in the much shorter 70 km race that was hosted in town a fortnight ago. Local cy­clists held their ground, and many of them fi nished in the top three podium positions.

The fi rst overall winner of the race was Joshua Buchel in a time of 01:47:46. A mere split second after him was Marco Roets from Makhado (Louis Trichardt), in a time of 01:47:47. About eight minutes after them, taking third place overall, was Chris de Klerk in a time of 01:55:53. Buchel and Roets also won first and second place, respectively, in the junior

men’s category. Third in this category was another local and well­known cyclist, Kombo Bere, in a time of 02:01:45. Bere, who fi nished in eighth place overall, was the winner of the Kremetart Mountain Bike XCO Challenge in his age category the day after the 70km race.
