Kabeldiewe was erg waaghalsigVingers wys na die GTM oor ‘traagheid’ om wagte aan te stel‘n Wonderwerk! So sê die mense wat meer van elektrisiteit weet as Jan Alle-man, oor die waaghalsige kabeldiefstal by die hoofsubstasie in Tzaneen (foto links). Dit was donker en hoogspan-ningkabels is niemand se speelmaat nie. Dat niemand geskok en erg gebrand is of selfs dood is nie, is ‘n wonderwerk.

Die kragtoevoer in die dorp is ongeveer 22:45 Maandagaand onderbreek en eers om en by 10:00 Dinsdagoggend herstel.

Die helde in die stryd om sake so gou as moontlik reg te kry, was die span van

die GTM se elektristeitsafdeling. Hulle het deurnag koorsagtig gewerk om die toevoer te herstel, en Tzaneen se inwo-ners kan gerus wees dat dié departe-ment se mense dienslewering voorop stel (binne die begrotingsbeperkings waarmee hulle ook maar sukkel).

Intussen word gesê die GTM sleep voete met die aanstel van sekuriteitswagte by die substasie, en daar sal nou dringend aandag hieraan geskenk moet word. Die kabeldiewe gaan nie nou ophou met hul strooptogte nie.

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

Vlieg verneem dat Steve Vroteyr se twy-felagtige vrinne nou ‘n hele miljoen stemme wil werf by sy eweneens verdagte aanhang-ers in die anti-sosiale media. Steve sou blykbaar te sê gehad het dat hy die politiek sal betree as ‘n miljoen mense (?) daarvoor stem!

Dit lyk vir Vlieg dus of dit slegs een-en-twintig jaar geneem het vir wit kiesers om ook politieke leiers te verkies met bedenklike morele waardes!

Vlieg het vir ou Steve ‘n lied geskryf wat hy kan sing op sy verkiesingsveldtog, ter-wyl arme Lucas Maree sweerlik in sy graf gaan omdraai.

MiljoenEk sou kon doen met ‘n miljoen.Ek sou kon doen met ‘n miljoen.

Want daarmee sal ek die politiek-ding nou kan doen, ja!

Ek sou kon doen met ‘n miljoen.

Ek is moeg vir die gesukkel as ‘n nietige rand� guurtjie.Die gewonder oor die geld omdat ek nie Inniebos toe

kan gaan nie.En geen Land Rover of Pick ‘n Pay nie maak my werklik

nou gedaan.En ou Dan Roodt het jou waarlik.Deur dik en dun by my gestaan.Ek sou kon doen met ‘n miljoen.Ek sou kon doen met ‘n miljoen.

Ja, ek sou myself met prof. van Schalkwyk kon versoen, ja!


Ek Stem en ook Pampoen net om belasting te betaal.En nou is ek ook hoeka by die Front Nasionaal.

Ja, ek verlang na die Transvaal, en die tuisland ideaal.Maar die feeste hou my nou oor die algemeen maar

kaal.

Ek sou kon doen met ‘n miljoen.Ek sou kon doen met ‘n miljoen.

Ja, ek sou myself sien net wit babatjies kan soen, ja!


Ek sou kon doen met ‘n miljoen. Ek sou kon doen met ‘n miljoen.

Want daarmee word Malema en sy trawante sweerlik groen, ja!


Ek soek nie net baie geld nie maar ek hou ook

nog van aandag.Daarom sing ek nog die Stem en staan die Boere dan

op aandag.Ek speel ook graag met poppe.Nie die soort met rubber koppe.

Soos Chester Missing wat my spot oor al my � oppe.

Ek sou kon doen met ‘n miljoenEk sou kon doen met ‘n miljoen.

Ja, ek sal myself en jou vir ‘n ewigheid verdoem, ja!


Dis hoe dit is… met Steve!

Rodney Sabatier This municipality does not have the back bone to sort it out. But

should there be confl ict, I bet you the SAPS will be quick to act against the legitimate business owners

Bosman Kruger Ek het ‘n probleem met die smouse. Nie net die onooglikheid daarvan

nie maar die dubbel staandaard wat hierby betroke is en deur wetstoepassers gebruik word. Ry op die R71 uit Tzaneen uit dan staan die smouse vlak by die geen smous borde. 5meter verder is ‘n spoed kamera. Dis makliker en minder moeite vir die wetstoepassers om my die bestuurder van ‘n voertuig wat 71km/h in ‘n 60km/h zone ry te vang as wat dit is om die mense te verjaag. Die 11km/h oor die perk is verseker baie veiliger as die ou wat skielik dood in die pad stop om mangos te koop. Tweedens moet my besigheid aan streng “health and safety” standaarde voldoen maar die smous op my stoep kan maak en mors na harte lus.

Willem Steynberg Nogal gewonder

hieroor moet sekere plekke in Dannie Joubert str al in die pad loop omdat smouse sypaadjie oorvat!

Izette Izzi Chaplin En wat van die ouens wat dink ons motors is hulle offi ce-drive-

thru??Natasha Bezuidenhout Nee wat vegeet maar dis maar hoe dit is.Christa Koekemoer Die munisipaliteit sal niks doen nie. Of daar sal omkoopgeld

gevra word, en dan het almal lisensies.Vicky Smith Vir wat is daar borde op wat se geen smouse maar sit sit hulle sommer

by die borde en word niks aan hulle gedoen nie try jy as boer dit en kyk wa slaap jy vinaand as jy nie omkoop geld betaal nie. pff ft

Martie Dreyer ja ek stem saam Vicky , dan koop die polisie en verkeersbeamptes

almal by hulle. daar word niks aan hulle gedoen nie, kan nie een behoorlik op die sypaadjies loop nie,hulle sit die hele plek vol.

Anneri Potgieter Swael reen...een blits straaltjie...en woooof...problem solved

Dirk Stoltz IV Solank as wat korrupsie hoogty vier kan mens nie die burokrate

vertrou om die reël konsekwent toe te pas nie. Vir die rekord: in Tzaneen was daar al 3 pogings om my beursie uit my broeksak te steel terwyl ek tussen die smouse deur beweeg het. Gelukkig tog vir die rekkie (rubber band) truuk!

Claudia de Bruyn Wat is die rekkie truuk?Dirk Stoltz IV Die rekkie truuk: as jy van daai breë rekkies óm jou beursie sit kan

die beursie nie uit jou sak uitgly nie. Die diewe maak daarop staat dat die beursie uitgly, as die beursie vashak dan los hulle dit dadelik

Claudia de Bruyn Dankie, iets geleer

Sakelui in Tzaneen sê die munisipaliteit moet nou optree teen die hordes ongelisensieerde smouse en die vryheid wat smouse geniet om na willekeur op enige plek handel te dryf, of ernstige konfl ik kan ontstaan.• Wat dink jy? / Sal daar iets van kom?

Business people in Tzaneen say the municipality must act now against the hordes of unlicensed hawkers and peddlers and their freedom to trade anywhere at will, or serious confl ict may arise.• What do you think? / Will anything be done?

MS Leandri Schreiber, the manager of Amone Modelling Academy in Tzaneen, travelled to Europe with twelve delegates and companions to represent South-Africa on the international panel of judges of the international Little Miss and Mister Galaxy 2015 contest. Of the five del-egates who entered the contest to represent SA, three won their over-all age categories. The results were: Leruo Nape: winner age group 9-11 years, Mmoke Nape: winner age group 4-13 years; Rethabile Mole-po: winner age group 12-15 years; Ulien du Plessis: second princess age group 4-8 years; Solly Lebea: first prince age group 13-18 years. South Africa also won the award for special contributions to the contest.

Die sypaadjieboere van Tzaneen, wat grond-boontjies op die randakkers langs die strate plant, doen dit onwett ig.

‘n Inwoner van Aquapark, mnr Paul Swane-poel, is Woensdag weens openbare saakbesk-adiging in die landdroshof onskuldig bevind, nadat hy onkruid op die sypaadjie voor sy huis met gif gespuit het. In die proses het van die boontjie-aanplantings glo ook gevrek.

Die landdros het aan die twee klaagsters in die saak gesê die plant van grondbone en ander ge-wasse op sypaadjies is onwett ig as hulle nie die

nodige toestemming daarvoor het nie.Swanepoel het na die tyd gesê die hele petalje

het hom sowat R10 000 uit die sak gejaag weens regskoste, voorbereiding en werkdae wat weens die hofsake in die slag gebly het. Hy het ander inwoners gemaan om op die uitkyk te wees vir die planters.

“Volgens wet moet ek die munisipaliteit vra om my sypaadjie van oortollige groei skoon te maak, maar ‘n nasionale bepaling verplig my om self verbode onkruid soos lantana en ander soorte self te verwyder.”

‘n Vrou van Haenertsburg sterk tuis aan na-dat sy vir malaria in die Tzaneen Mediclinic behandel is. Die nuuswaardigheid hiervan is dat dit die eerste geval in twintig jaar is dat malaria in Haenertsburg by die malaria-in-stituut in Tzaneen aangemeld is.

Mnr Philip Kruger van die instituut sê dit was moontlik ‘n verdwaalde muskiet wat in ‘n voertuig uit ‘n besmett e gebied vasgevang was en in Haenertsburg uitgevlieg het. Dit is jare al bekend dat malariadraende muskiete dit nie in dié bergdorpie oorleef nie.

Die vrou en haar man, wat graag anoniem wil bly, is Tzaneeners wat onlangs na Haen-

ertsburg verhuis het. Hulle was nie onlangs in enige streek waar die siekte endemies is nie.

Kruger sê dit gaan ook heelwat beter met me Judith Jacobs van Tzaneen, wat na ‘n ruk in die waakeenheid weens malaria nou tuis aansterk.

Hy sê die verspreide voorkoms van mala-ria in die eerste twee maande van die jaar het nou tot bedaring gekom en drasties in ge-talle afgeneem. Einde Februarie is 153 gevalle per dag in die provinsie se 42 hospitale en klinieke aangemeld. Dié syfer staan nou op twintig per dag en sluit die hoogs besmett e gebiede in.

Verdwaalde muskiet slaan toe in Haenertsburg

Sypaadjieboere is onwettig

Dit is nie waar dat mnr Conrad Krüger, ‘n prokureur van Tzaneen, sonder ‘n Getrouheidswaarborgfonds-sertifi kaat praktiseer nie. Die sertifi kaat word aan prokureurs uitgereik as hul trustrekening(s) in orde is. Links is ‘n afdruk van Krüger se sertifi kaat wat deur die Prokureursorde aan ons gelewer is.

Een van die lesse uit die Arabiese Lente wat die Midde-Ooste nou al vir ‘n jaar of wat in ‘n oorlogsone laat verval het, is dat onrus by mense opbou en dan eensklaps in anargie uitbars. In Tzaneen bou die druk op, oor smouse wat na willekeur vir hulle ‘persele’ beset en handel dryf. Dit blyk dat daar geen wil by die GTM is om die orde te herstel nie. Wettige handelaars in die sakekern is keelvol, maar ook Jan

Alleman waag dit al hoe minder in die sakekern; want sakkerollers is daar bedrywig, mense se voertuie word beskadig en voetgangers word gedwing om in die straat te loop, omdat sypaadjies deur smouse en hul ware versper word. Foto 1: Kunsleerprodukte en namaaksels word reg voor Tzaneen Winkel, een van die dorp se oudste winkels, verkoop. Dié winkel spesialiseer in leerprodukte

van gehalte! Foto 2: Onwettige smouse word opgeruim (deur die GTM), maar dit het meer as twee jaar gelede laas gebeur. Foto 3: Tot in die straat... en parkeerplekke word beset of deels beset en voertuie word beskadig. Foto 4: Nog ‘n voertuig in gevaar om beskadig te word. Foto 5: Die oulike en netjiese kiosks wat die GTM vir smouse agter die ou Checkers gebou het, het nie gehelp nie. Dit is

steeds ‘n seer oog. Foto 6: Sit maar in die straat... en versper Price & Pride Style se uitstalvensters en ingang. Foto 7: Die fotograaf met sy toerusting vir ID-foto’s versper die ingang na die Jacaranda-gebou waar vier ander besighede op die eerste verdieping sake probeer doen (het?). Tien meter na regs is Lombards Apteek, waar ook ID-fotos geneem word! Daar is plekke waar dit erger lyk en gaan!

The South African Police Service in Tzaneen, together with members of Victim Empowerment Group (VEP), recently conducted a school campaign as part of

Youth Violence Prevention Week at Fobeni High School in Bolobedu South.

The campaign went on for two weeks. According to Const Glenda Maimele, the spokesperson of the Tzaneen police station, the Police approached the school aft er receiving complaints about challenges in the school. The challenges included the pupils’ drug-use, fi ghts, assaulting each other, disruption of lessons, vandalism and bullying.

During the campaign, the SAPS visited the school on each morning with members of the dog unit to search learners. According to Maimele, 24 cell phones were confi scated.

The police also donated school uniforms to two underprivileged pupils. They promise to continue monitoring the school.

Life for gang rapistsThe Naphuno Regional Court sentenced three rapists to 25 years in jail for the gang rape and kidnap of a 14-year-old girl. The incident took place at Lephepane Village, near Lenyenye, in 2012.

David Sekgobela (26), Samuel Maponya (24) and Masedi Isaac Makomela (25) allegedly met the victim on her way home. She tried to fl ee but they overpowered her. They then took her to a house in the area, where she was raped continuously until she was released in the early hours of the following day.

They reportedly also assaulted her repeatedly with a broom stick during the ordeal and a towel was put in her mouth to prevent her from screaming or calling for help.

Residents of Mawa and Ga-Wally villages in the Bolobedu area embarked on a service delivery protest regarding water and elec-tricity last week.

The residents in Wards 2 and 3 of Mawa, which is under the jurisdiction of the Greater Tzaneen Municipality, demanded that electri-city be connected to their newly built homes (extensions).

An urgent request for government to calm the situation was responded to by Corporative Governance, Human Sett lements and Traditional Aff airs MEC, Ms Makoma Makhurupetsa, the Mayor of the Mopani District Municipality, Ms Nkakareng Ragoale, and the Speaker of the GTM, Mr Cassius Machimana.

According to GTM spokesman Ne-ville Ndlala, a solution to the electricity problem faced by residents in the three villages has been found. He said that in the next two weeks, Eskom will begin with the surveys, designs and all necessary processes that must precede the actual physical connection.

“Work to connect electricity in the three villages will commerce on 1 May. It must also be stated categorical-ly that this is a special intervention for a special case and that no changes will be made to the electricity priority list of the GTM. All the areas that are to be connected in the 2015/16 fi nancial year will be connected as planned,” said Ndlala.

He added that with regard to the water challenge, the MDM will imme-diately conduct an assessment of the current water infrastructure and chal-lenges, while water tankers deliver water as an interim solution. “It must also be noted that the connections that are being done are for new extensions and that all villages in the GTM now have electricity.

“Representatives of the GTM have been engaging with community leaders, specifi cally protest leaders with a view of resolving the situation”, he said.

Ndlala urged residents to engage with the GTM before resorting to protests, citing that residents must abstain from damaging public infrastructure when they embark on service delivery protests.

“Repairs to damaged government property cost the municipality a lot of money intended for new develop-

ments, aimed at uplift ing communities. It is therefore necessary that all protests are conducted in a peaceful manner”, Ndlala said.

Mawa, Ga-Wally calm aft er protests

Die boerdery bekend as ZZ2 is deur baie mense se sweet en toewyding gebou tot die voortre� ike reusebesigheid wat dit vandag is.

Min mense verdien egter die spesiale vermel-ding wat aan Lettie van Zyl verskuldig is. Sy het in 1955 as dorpsmeisie uit Ladysmith in Natal die groot liefde in haar lewe in Pretoria ontmoet.

Lettie was ‘n verpleegster toe sy en Bertie van Zyl in 1956 getroud is en by Mooketsi gevestig het.

Die boerdery was klein en eenvoudig en die pad tussen Munnik en Duiwelskloof was nog onge-teer. Bertie en Lettie se eerste huis was ‘n kamer wat Bertie spesiaal aan sy ouers se huis op Boek-enhoutbult gebou het.

Lettie het haar eerste baba met liefde in haar skoonmoeder se huis grootgemaak, terwyl Bertie lang ure buite in die boerdery bestee het.

Lettie se bydrae tot die boerdery en die fami-lieverhoudings was uit die staanspoor geken-merk deur liefde, warmte en vriendelikheid.

Lettie het dikwels in desperate en moeilike om-standighede daarin geslaag om ‘n atmosfeer te skep waarin almal meer doeltre� end kon wees. Terwyl Lettie kinders grootgemaak het was sy ook verantwoordelik vir die byhou van die boerdery se administrasie en boekhouding.

Sy het vir meer as twintig jaar byna eiehandig ZZ2 se eerste administratiewe- en � nansiële de-

partement gevestig. Sy het veral ook ‘n spesiale verhouding met die plaaswerkers gehad. Sy moes dikwels haar kundigheid as verpleegster inspan, om noodsituasies op die plaas te hanteer.

Lettie was ‘n skoonmoeder soos min. Sy het haar kinders se lewensmaats met groot eerbied en respek behandel en hulle het almal gou baie lief vir haar geword. Lettie se sonnige geaardheid het gemaak dat haar een skoondogter vir meer as dertig jaar as baie gewaardeerde buurvrou langs haar kon woon.

In haar latere lewe was sy die Ouma om van te droom. Haar twaalf kleinkinders was haar trots en sy het vir elkeen ‘n spesiale plekkie in haar hart gehou.

Lettie is Maandag 23 Maart in die Tzaneen Medi-clinic oorlede. Sy het in die week voor haar afster-we vir oulaas groot vriende gemaak.

Die personeel wat haar versorg het is vol lof vir haar en beskryf haar as ‘n engel en model pasiënt. Dit is met groot hartseer dat ons almal vir Ouma Lettie vir oulaas groet.

Mopani District Municipality’s 2014/15 annual re-port was heard by the Municipal Public Accounts Committ ee (MPAC) on Monday.

This public hearing was att ended by diff erent stake-holders, including representatives from the Auditor General, the SA Local Government Association (Salga) and the Department of Corporative Governance, Hu-man Sett lements and Traditional Aff airs (Coghsta).

During the public hearing, chaired by MPAC chairperson Pat Nkanyane, issues regarding the establishment of an anti-corruption forum, an inte-grated waste management plan to formalise a site in Ba-Phalaborwa and challenges with Moshupatsela farm, to mention but a few, were outlined.

During the question and answer session, Mr Nare Ngoepe, the acting municipal manager and account-ing offi cer of the MDM, remained composed despite a series of rather tricky questions and other com-ments by members of the committ ee. Some of the questions raised were:

• Why was the CFO allowed to act for longer than provided, contrary to legislative provisions; Does the MDM have an established anti-corruption forum?

MPAC will give recommendations and resolutions on all the issues that were discussed at a later stage. The MDM will host its next strategic planning meet-ing on Friday (today) and tomorrow at Karibu, start-ing at 08:00.

SMITADVISEURS

Insurable interest is the principle which requires that there be a le-gally recognised link between the person wishing to obtain insurance and the financial loss he will suffer in the event of a claim. Only goods in which a person has a legally re-cognised financial interest may be insured.If you have such an interest, you

must therefore suffer a direct and measurable financial loss if the goods are stolen, damaged or de-stroyed. You must also benefit from the unim-paired continued existence of goods.In the case of short-term insurance, the in-

surable interest must exist at the time of the loss. If someone takes out a policy without an insurable interest, that policy is null and void.A simple example: your DVD player worth R4

500 is stolen from your home. As the owner of the player you suffered a measurable loss of R4 500 because you had an insurable interest in the DVD player. The requirements for establishing an insur-

able interest were spelt out again in a High Court case in 1999. In the case a son, who was already earning his own salary, bought himself a car. He registered it in his name and paid the monthly instalments himself. After being involved in an accident and experien-cing difficulty in obtaining insurance, the car was insured by his father.A few months later the son’s car was stolen

and the insurance company refused to pay out, saying that although the father believed he had a moral duty to help his son, he did not have an insurable interest in the car. The policy was therefore null and void.Die Bulletin (B) het ‘n paar vrae aan Fran-

cois gestel en hier is dit met sy ant-woorde:B: Wat behels jou kwalifi kasies en ondervinding?F: Ek het alle kwalifikasies soos deur die FAIS Wet vereis en is ‘n makelaar sedert 1988

A long walk...The long walk to freedom — the late Nel-son Mandela’s autobiography — is a best seller. But to discover and understand the man’s clear vision of an united and recon-ciled nation as well as a prosperous and successful country, reading the book is not a sine qua non.

Mandela lived his vision, he applied his mind to it in practice when he was the President and he promoted it in almost every possible way on on every forum af-ter his release from Robben Island.

Could what we now experience in our beloved country be anywhere near what he had in mind? We don’t think so.

Our country’s economy is in serious trou-ble, Eskom is in tatt ers, SAA can fl y but only thanks to the umptienth capital injec-tion (billions) from government, the Post Offi ce’s future looks bleak, Telkom is rid-dled with problems, corruption is running out of control (also and especially in the poublic sector), nepotism is said to be a ma-jor problem in the public sector, xenopho-bia is growing, there is grave concern about deteriorating race relations, and, and, and...

Our local authorities could be the launching pad for a new initiative to re-store law and order, discipline and good governance on local level. However, we can’t see this happen anytime soon.

It is indeed a worrying situation.

Our Opinion The Message

I am a few hours before the desir-able time for submitt ing my col-umn, and I still have not started. I want to focus on abortions, but I do not know where to start. I can-not speak of any experience of my own, as there is none.

However, I feel strongly about the subject. In my opinion, it says a lot about the way women are re-garded in society.

I recently saw a very moving po-etry performance by Layla Jose-phine, a girl who had an abortion and owned up to it.

“I am not ashamed,” she says at least four times during the perfor-mance. “I had to cut down the litt le

cherry tree that had blossomed in my

brain a responsibility I did not have the ener-gy or age to maintain.”

My introduction into the subject was one in which the act of a woman claim-ing her body, taking responsibility for her life, the quality there of, and making assertive decisions about her future/situation was seen as evil.

It was really just to say, although women can go to school and fi nd employment, they still have to be women and put their natural role as child bearers fi rst, regardless of any logic behind the childbearing and any capacity to care for the child.

Furthermore, I dare say, amongst others things, pregnancy is also seen as a way to either punish women for having sex deemed unacceptable by society (think pro-miscuity or infi delity) or to tame them to the domestic. As Josephine explains, all kinds of things are said “to keep you out of parliament and stuck on maternity leave”.

I searched on line for other poems about abortion and the same mes-sage of carelessness towards the

pregnant woman is reiterated. The voices spoken of are of un-born babies. There is so much concern for unborn babies than for actual living people. Who should take care

of these unborn babies, I asked myself?

In her research on child abandon-ment in South Africa, Dee Black — a consultant to the National Adoption Coalition South Africa (NACSA) — found that although studies on child abandonment in the country are limited, more and more children are being aban-doned.

Fewer people are willing to adopt children in the country and aban-

doned children are less likely to be adopted.

Moreover, in her research pa-per (2014), Black explains that al-though there are no formal studies on this, it is very likely that many abandoned children end up dying.

Furthermore, Black explains that women oft en choose to abandon their children due to “desperate situations” they fi nd themselves, oft en due to being abandoned by their own families and partners be-cause of the pregnancy.

Now, I am not saying abortion is always the answer to unplanned pregnancies or failed family plan-ning, but can we also look at the other end of the straw — what happens to both the mother and unborn baby once it is born.

For crying out loudBy Joy Mojela

Die vloermoer...

The morning after the night before...

How fi ckle we are! We love a party of any kind and read-ily join in, some of us will caste-off all inhibitions and join the frivolities not giving a second though as to what the possible consequences of our actions might lead to.

This was the scene when Je-sus came riding in to Jerusalem so many years ago. However, there was a slight diff erence, He didn’t come riding in a fl ashy car with an entourage of “blue lights” around Him, He came humbly riding on a donkey. The crowds went wild, casting palm branches in front of Him.

Although, it can be argued that they were not palm branches but ordinary tree branches, there was a joy-ous celebration and everyone around was calling His name and swept up in the moment hailed Him as king.

These very same people would later turn against Him and call for His blood. “Cru-cify Him” they would cry.

Sunday is “Palm Sunday” when some of us will re-in--

act this scene, albeit on a less-er scale. Our churches will be decorated with palm branches and we will all be caught up in the euphoria of the time.

We too will forget what it is supposed to mean, the next day and continue to live our lives as normal.

We oft en forget that this was the start of the road which would ultimately lead to Jesus’ death on Calvary, or Golgotha.

For many Palm Sunday has a very signifi cant meaning, those there thought it was the start of the reign of a king who would deliver them from the hands of the Romans, we Christians, know now that it was the start of Christ reign here on earth aft er His death.

He was going to establish a new kingdom by dying on the cross for our redemption of sins. A new kingdom which would be open to all believers in Christ.

So I urge you all to believe that you are loved by Christ and accept Him as your king and Saviour

Blessings.

Nee, VliegJune du Plessis skryf per e-pos: Nadat ek die brief aan Vlieg van Dr Erika Coertzen gelees het, asook die brief in laasweek se koerant. Het daar soveel emosies deur my gegaan. Eerstens wil ek net se, ek is nie ‘n “airy fairie” kop in die wolke mens nie, ek is plat op die aarde, maar Vlieg se artikel oor homeopatie het my net laat besef: Vlieg, jy weet nie waarvan jy praat nie! Ek is seker veronderstel om na al die gemelde “links” te gaan kyk, maar eintlik maak dit nie saak nie, want tot vandag het ek nie gaan kyk nie. Hoekom nie? Want ek weet wat Dr Erika en haar behandeling vir my beteken het. Ek weet wat ek in my lyf ervaar en beleef het.

?n Hele paar jaar gelede het ek by ‘n vrien-din gekla oor my hormoon wanbalans wat die GP nie onder beheer kon bring nie en sy be-veel toe aan dat ek na Dr Erika gaan. Op daar-die stadium het ek niks van homeopatie of Dr Erika geweet nie, net geweet ek was desperaat om gehelp te word.

Dr Erika het my gehelp, nie net op fi siese vlak nie, maar ook emosioneel. Sy het my ge-help om op ‘n vlak te kom wat my vriende en familie verstom het, ten goede.

Daar het ‘n nuwe wereld oopgegaan wat moeilik is om te beskryf, maar wel in my daag-likse handel en wandel baie duidelik is.

My lewe het handomkeer verander danksy

alternatiewe me-dikasie en be-handeling. Met prosesse soos TRE (Trauma Release Experi-

ences), het ek vir die eerste keer in ‘n lang tyd weer kans gesien om voluit te lewe.

Ek gee nie om vir Prof Google of Dr Google en al hulle “links” nie of om allerhande “web-sites” te besoek nie, ek weet wat ek weet, want ek het die verskil self in my lyf en emosies ervaar.

Ek is vandag ‘n heel mens, gesond, emosio-neel op ‘n wonderlike plek, danksy Homeopa-tie, Dr Erika en die TRE proses wat sy aan my blootgestel het.

Baie dankie, Dr Erika.

‘n “Tantrum” of vloermoer is ‘n spul emosies soos woede, frustrasie, verlies en teleurstelling wat uiting vind in skree, skop, neerslaan op die vloer, huil, byt, slaan en selfs kopstamp of asem ophou.

Hierdie emosionele tantrums vind plaas bloot omdat die kleiner kind tussen 2 en 3 jaar ontsteld is, maar nie kan redeneer of manipu-leer nie. ‘n Ouer kleuter kan tantrums gebruik om iets te kry, afh angende van hoe ouers opge-tree het tydens vroeër tantrums. Redes: Eintlik is tantrums natuurlike ge-drag as gevolg van onvervulde behoeft es van die jong kind.

Die kleiner kind begin homself onafh anklik van sy ouers sien. Die 2-jarige het so pas leer loop en ondersoekende gedrag is vir hulle natuurlik. Hulle verwag hulp, troos en deel van vreugde van ouers, maar ouers reageer met: Nee! Los! Die 2- tot 3-jarige kan nog nie emosies voldoende beheer nie, maar ervaar geweldige emosies weens teleurstelling.

Die kleuter se woordeskat ontbreek om dié emosies uit te druk en daarom vind sy frus-trasie uiting in ‘n tantrum. ‘n Tantrum is dus ‘n hulpkreet weens diep emosionele pyn. Dit is belangrik dat die kleuter leer hoe om emosies te hanteer gedurende tantrums, sodat die reg-te breinselverbindinge gevorm word.

Regte hantering van tantrums:1. Aandagafl eiding. Gee ‘n ander speel-

ding of die keuse van ‘n ander kossoort en betrek so logiese denke voordat emosies oorneem.

2. Bly kalm. Deur kalm te bly, stel die ouer die voorbeeld hoe emosies en probleme hanteer moet word. Die jong kind na-aap graag die ouer se optrede.

3. Moenie redeneer nie. Denke word oor-heers deur emosies, tydens ‘n tantrum. Om te redeneer sal dus nie nou help nie.

3. Herstel balans. Hou die kind vas en kalmrer hom met woorde soos: “Ek verstaan jy is ontsteld”. Dié optrede laat die kind veilig voel.

4. Moenie straf nie. Die kind verkeer in in-tense pyn en deur hom te straf of te isoleer, veroorsaak dat hy jou gaan wantrou wan-neer hy in nood verkeer.

5. Leer woordeskat aan. Gesels na die tan-trum met die kind en leer hom hoe om woorde te gebruik om sy emosies uit te druk.

6. Voorkom tantrums. Honger, woede, eensaamheid en moegheid kan lei tot tan-trums. Probeer die kind in roetine hou en enige onnodig frustrasies uitskakel.

The South African National Parks recently unveiled a new helicopter to assist in the fi ght against poachers at the Kruger Nation-al Park.

Donated by the Howard G Foundation, the R39m helicopter has advanced capabilities such as fl ying at night and other features which will improve the park’s response to contact at night. The helicopter is the second one given to the park by Howard G Foundation. The fi rst one with similar capabilities was

donated in March last year.In thanking the foundation for the dona-

tion, chairperson of SANPark’s board Kuseni Dlamini, noted that more funds are need-

ed to fi ght poaching in the country.Maj Sipho Ndlangamandla of the SA National Defence Force, which operates in KNP, recently noted that poachers constantly employ new tactics to enter the park.

Speaking during a simulation of how the park responds to the

presence of poachers and contacts, Ndlangamandla said SANParks’ im-

proved counter-att ack strategy of em-ploying more police and soldiers

at border gates is failing.“Poachers are now infi l-

trating the park through the civi-lised world,” he said, explaining that the poachers enter the park from its urban neighbourhoods, which include Kindfi sher and Pretoriuskop in Mpumalanga. “They camp within the communities and plan their strategies while in there,” he added.

According to him, the number of poachers that go into the park via the border posts or through the fence bordering Mozambique and Zimbabwe has decreased.

Ndlangamandla urges communities bor-dering the park to be on high alert for sus-picious people.

devices at Skukuza.

SANParks recently revealed new technological devices such as electrical powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s), which can be flown at night and used to monitor the park at a lower cost than the current method of big airbuses, to assist in the fight against poachers. Here are Mr Graham Dyer and a colleague fixing up an UAV before it

was flown as a demonstration to the media.LEFT: Mr Graham Dyer explained to the media how the new tracking device works.

Die gevaar van bos- en veldbrande in 2015 is hoog weens die min reën wat die Letabage-bied die afgelope tyd ontvang het, sê die Le-taba Fire Protection Association (LFPA) in sy jaaroorsig.

Verlede jaar het betreklik stil verloop, be-halwe aan die einde van die jaar, toe enkele groot brande by Sarala, Iron Crown en Koe-doesvallei uitgebreek het.

Probleme word ondervind met munisipa-liteite, wat steeds nalaat om voorbrande in hul gebiede te maak.

Die voorsitt er van die LFPA, mnr Trevor Philips, het by die organisasie se jaarverga-dering gesê die voorlopige aanstelling van ‘n brandbestuurder, mnr Rouan Snyman, het groot verligting in die werksaamhede van die LFPA gebring. Hy is nou permanent aange-stel.

Die LFPA beskik nou ook oor ‘n sleep-waentjie met telefoonlyne en ‘n datastelsel

LINKS: Mnr Trevor Philips van die LFPA staan by die sleepwa wat voortaan by groot brande as kommuni-kasiesentrum inge-span sal word. ONDER LINKS: Me Maritza Swanepoel (sekreta-resse) gesels met me Wietzke van Tol van Westfalia, tydens die LFPA se jaarvergade-ring.

Stock farmers in South Africa are deeply concerned about animal health this year, as there are a critical shortage of vaccines for the treatment of major animal diseases due to underperformance at Onderstepoort.

An urgent appeal was made to the department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries by the National Animal Health Forum (NAHF) to do a complete � nancial, performance and competence audit on Onderstepoort Biological Products (OBP) within the next month.

This will ensure that stock farmers can consider alternatives if vaccines are not going to be available by the spring of 2015.

The appeal was endorsed by AgriSA and all members of the NAHF.

Brandgevaar is hoog weens min reën

wat voortaan by groot brande ingespan sal word om bestryding uit alle oorde te koör-dineer.

Twee helikopters teen brande is op die oomblik in Letaba en Bela-Bela beskikbaar, met die hoop om ‘n derde helikopter in Louis Trichardt gestasioneer te kry.

Onderhandelings is steeds aan die gang om die Working on Fire-brandspanne na die rampbeheersentrum in Tzaneen te skuif. ‘n Sleutelgroepie sal egter in die sentrum by Westfalia gevestig bly.

Philips is herkies as voorsitt er en mnr Tony Long as voorsitt er, met me Maritza Swane-poel as sekretaresse.

10 27 Maart 2015 Bulletin

Perhaps it is easier to think of it as a ghost that sneaks-up on us and takes away our power. Load shedding is becoming part of our daily schedules. We plan our events mindful that at any moment we may be forced to go with-out electrical power. Bulletin spoke to the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s director of electrical engineering services, Mr Pierre van den Heever, for a deeper insight into the en-ergy crisis ghosting over the country.

• Mr Van den Heever, this might seem ob-vious but fi rst things fi rst, why are we load-shedding?

There is actually not one reason, but a com-bination of reasons. Amongst others things, our power stations are half-way through their lives. They don’t function as well as they used to. The demand for electricity is also ex-ponentially increasing and much over what the stations can and were created to handle. We also don’t have enough power reserves.

The country is currently building new pow-er stations; however, it takes time (about sev-en to ten years) and a lot of money to build power stations. The way things are going, the country will run out of electrical energy before the new power stations are done and running. We therefore need to load-shed to deal with the country’s electrical demand

• How does load shedding work?The way it works is that there is a certain

amount of energy set for use for a given period of time. If the country’s use peaks or exceeds the set amount, we then need to load-shed to restore the energy. Eskom will contact the various sub-stations and mu-nicipalities to declare a load-shedding. Basi-cally, the more energy we use, the more we need to load shed.

• What do the diff erent stages mean – Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3?

The stages are levels of emergency. They de-note the urgency of the situation, level of use and amount of power needed to be restored.

Stage 1 load shedding means the crisis is minimal. Only about 1000 mega-watt s need to be restored. Depending on the municipal-ity, the load shedding can either cover a small area or last for a short period of time.

Stage 2 is intermediate.Stage 3, on the other hand, means the sys-

tem is about to collapse. About 4000 mega-watt s need to be restored. The load shedding can either cover a large area or go on for a long period of time.

• How long should we expect the load shedding to go on?

Perhaps, importantly what people need to

understand is that load-shedding is not necessarily a tem-poral situation. The country is in a seri-ous energy crisis that should have been foreseen a whole lot earlier. However, it’s no use pointing fi ngers now. Pre-serving energy should be an ongoing process.

• How about alternative energy sources like solar energy, and others?

The problem with alternative sources at this point is that they are not so much economi-cally viable. Solar panels, for example, are very expensive to install and they are mostly used to replace geysers.

• What then can we as residents do to al-leviate the situation, except perhaps what we have already been told about saving energy?

Unfortunately, there is nothing more. We all need to limit our use of energy. It’s the small things we know we should do that can save power. Use energy effi cient lighting, switch-off electrical appliances when they are not in use, don’t boil a kett le full of water when you only need a litt le, etc.

Businesses, especially, should also be grace-ful with their use of energy – they should min-imise their use of air-conditioners and lights.

Marsala - Colour of the Year 2015 | Distinctive finishes for the home

Die mens se verbeelding het geen perke nie en kan lei tot vindingrykheid wat andersins verlore sou wees.

Dit was die resep vir die binne-afwerking in die huis van Jean Meintjes, metaalkunstenaar van Gravelotte, en sy vrou Helga. Feitlik alles kom uit selfdoenprojek-te en los materiaal sonder om ten duurste vir ander se skeppings te betaal.

Hout is op groot en klein skaal ingespan en tot die geringste houtblokkie is verwerk as versiering teen die mure en in oop vertoonkaste.

Klippe van alle soorte op die plaas is ingespan as deel van die binneversiering, terwyl droë stukke bosveld-

hout saamgevoeg is tot kandelare wat jy nêrens in ‘n winkel sal kry nie.

Die woonvertrekke skep ‘n indruk van weelde, maar dit was alles eie werk uit oorblyfsels wat met verbeeld-ing byeengebring is.

“Jy moet weet wat jy teen die muur of in die hoek wil hê. Dan kan enige materiaal ingespan word om jou skepping te voltooi.”

Meintjes is bekend vir sy kunswerke uit metaal wat oor die hele land en selfs in die buiteland pryk. Hy is juis dié week in Oudtshoorn waar sy kunswerke by die KKNK te sien sal wees.

With the energy crisis facing the coun-try, we all need to chip-in to save en-ergy. Here is a re-cap on basic things anyone can do to save energy; read ‘especially this summer’:• Be a speedy chef- Nothing is more energy efficient for cooking than your microwave. It uses two-thirds less energy than your stove.• Push a button to wash your dishes- Surprise! Your dishwasher uses less water than washing dishes by hand. Let the dishes air-dry to save even more!• Fill up the fridge- Having lots of food in your fridge keeps it from warming up too fast when the door is open. So your fridge doesn’t have to work as hard to stay cool.• Turn up your thermostat- Set your thermostat to 25 degrees

Celsius when you are home and 29 degrees Celsius or off when you are away. - Using ceiling or room fans allows you to set the thermostat higher because the air movement will cool the room. Always take into account health con-siderations and be sure to drink plenty of fluids in warm weather. • Use your appliances wiselyTo help prevent power outages, avoid running your appliances during peak hours, or anytime an electricity emer-gency is declared.• Do your laundry efficiently by us-ing the warm or cold water setting for washing clothes. Always use cold wa-ter to rinse.• Line dry clothes whenever you can.- When you need to use the dryer, run full loads, use the moisture-sensing setting, and clean the clothes dryer lint

trap after each use.• Conserve energy by running your dishwasher only when it is fully load-ed. Turn off the dry cycle and air dry dishes instead.• Operate swimming pool filters and cleaning sweeps efficientlyReduce the operating time of your pool filter and automatic cleaning sweep to four to five hours, and only during off-peak time.• Eliminate wasted energy- Turn off appliances, lights and equip-ment when not in use.- Unplug electronic devices and charg-ers when they are not in use – most new electronics use electricity even when switched “off.” Turn computers and printers off at the power strip.- Unplug and recycle that spare refrig-erator in the garage if you don’t really need it.

purposes best.Blackout curtains work very well in

rooms that need a more subdued light or total darkness.Sunscreen for windows

Interior sunscreens are today a part of the interior design of a room; they are smart, stylish and multifunctional.

Advantages:Lighting – interior

sunscreens help to create the right light intensity in your room

Darkness – visors can fi lter the sun’s rays so that the room can be darkened without sacrifi cing the view.

Energy savings – interior sunscreens can also be insulating and energy saving as they help to maintain a good indoor climate.

Pleated blinds Pleated blinds are

a very simple and elegant form of in-terior sunscreen. They give a bright and light impres-sion when closed.

There are a vari-ety of fabrics with

diff erent technical, decorative and blackout properties. With the diff erent qualities, you can regulate light and heat.Wooden blinds

Aluminum blinds give a modern, el-egant and clean impression. The blinds are avail-able in a variety of colours and with diff erent width of slats.

Wooden blinds add very a stylish interior detail to a room. They fi lter light beautifully and create a warm atmosphere in the room.Roller blinds

Roller blinds are a very simple so-lution that suits most types of win-dows and they are very discreet when not in use.

There are a vari-

ety of fabrics with diff erent technical, decora-tive and blackout properties for roller blinds.

Roller blinds can be easily maneuvered and pulled down to shield the whole window or only a part of it. Vertical blinds

Vertical blinds can eff ectively control the amount of light entering a room. They can be closed completely to shut out direct sunlight, angled to give a soft light or completely open to give a full natu-ral light.

Vertical blinds do not take much space and they work very well inside offices for conference rooms, in glass partitions and as room dividers.

There are a variety of fabrics with technical, decorative and blackout properties.Aluminum blinds

With blinds you can easily regulate both transparency and natural light in a room, by tilt-ing the slats so you can person-ally control the amount of light in the room.

After its establishment in March of 1998, Sleebok Granite and Tombstones have grown from strength to strength, boasting seven retail outlets in Limpopo and their own produc-tion factory in Tzaneen. They are well known throughout the Province for quality and service both in the granite kitchen top and tombstone markets.

Keeping abreast of trends and interior design is of paramount importance to this dynamic, family-owned business as materials, colours as well as appli-cations often change according to world trends.

Granite and marble colours change constantly due to avail-ability. Sleebok CC prefers their customers to choose their own full slabs of granite from their slab yard situated at their factory in Tzaneen. This ensures that the customer knows ex-actly what is to be installed into their home and guarantees that “what you see is what you get”. Far too often, people get caught out buying from small granite samples, only to find on installation that the colour they thought they had chosen is completely different to what the final delivery turns out to be. This is because the product may have unexpected natural colour or pattern variations in the full slab.

The development of new man-made materials such as Caesarstone and engineered quartz, means that the custom-er has a much wider choice of materials, colours and designs.

Sleebok is an approved stockist of Caesarstone and other engineered brands. These products do

not have colour and pattern varia-bles so it is safe to buy off small samples.

Sleebok CC has three granite installation teams, headed up by

Manager, Arnold Kok who has been with the company for 15 years. Many various projects have been tackled all over the Province from hospitals, hotels, schools, restaurants, health spa’s

and private homesteads to name a few. Sleebok works close-ly with various kitchen- unit companies forming a symbiotic relationship of great benefit to the customer.

Sleebok has also got the design latitude to go with the wide choice of materials they offer. Pool surrounds of sand-stone, staircases of marble, granite fish tanks and benches are but a few of the projects completed over the past 17 years. “When it comes to kitchens and bathrooms, it is not necessary for customers to go for plain straight tops. We like to assist our customers in creating a beautiful environment and are capable of making stunning shapes and curves to make projects look far more appealing and up-market,” says Guy van Heerden, owner and designer of Sleebok.

He adds, “When it comes to service and quality, there is simply no compromise. We have survived and thrived in the business for 17 years as a result”.

Sunscreen & Blackout CurtainsThere are so many ways to save energy. Sometimes choosing the right kind of curtains or window-shields for a particular season can make a big diff erence on the energy you use to adjust the climate in your room.

More often than not, people reach out for candles to scare away the dark when the power goes off. Although, candles are one of the oldest lighting methods, they have been associated with too many preventable home fires to make them quiet a risk for light source. They are also not environmentally

safe.At the same time, candles are cheap and easy to use. Here are some tips to fire-proof yourself when nothing else but candles is in the reach to light-up your home during the

dark moments:

1. Never leave burning candles unattended.2. Keep candles away from any flammable

materials.3. If your candle is in a candle holder, it should be sturdy enough to avoid being eas-

ily knocked over.4. Candles should be placed where children

and pets can’t reach.5. Trim your candlewicks at least half a centi-metre each time before burning. Long wicks

can cause uneven burning and dripping.6. Keep the pool of wax in the candle clear of

debris such as wick trimmings.7. Read and follow the manufacturer’s in-structions for candle use. Most candles should be burned for only a couple of hours

at a time.8. Extinguish candles with a candle snuffer rather than blowing them out, as hot wax can

splatter.

Solar JarsSolar jars are LED lights powered by sun-

light charging the solar panelling fi tt ed in the lid, and provide bright, long-lasting light. They are ideal for communities living with-out electricity and off -grid. On a clear sunny day, a full charging off ers six hours of light. On an overcast day, a full charging off ers approximately one to three hours of light. Think of them as bott led sunshine. They store energy during the day and release light at night.

For a start, make sure you always have the following items in your supplies for an im-mediate going:

• Stock-up on fuel for your cooking meth-ods. (Be sure to store your fuel properly and in accordance with local fi re regulations.)

• Store matches in waterproof containers.• Lighters• Dry wood• If you have a place to store them, tightly

roll newspapers and magazines to use for fuel.

• Fireproof cooking vesselsHere are some options to cooking without

your kitchen stove.Outdoors:• Solar Funnel Cooker• Propane BBQ Grill• Charcoal Hibachi (you can burn nearly

anything in this as long as it is non-toxic)• Outdoor Fireplace• Can Cook-stove• Sun Oven (commercial or DIY)Indoors:• Votive cooker (like a buff et pan – some use

votive candles and others use Sterno)• Kerosene heater with a fl at surface• Toilet Paper Stove• 1 burner camp stove• WoodstoveHow-Tos:Solar Funnel Cooker - This simple cooker

is very effi cient, easy to make and can be con-structed from very common, everyday items.

You will need:- A large piece of cardboard that is pliable

enough to be shaped into a cone shape- A box of aluminium foil- A large glass jar with a wide mouth- Black paint- A block of wood- A non-toxic plastic bag that is big enough

to hold the jar and the block of wood (cook-ing bags work well)

- A sturdy box to hold the entire set up

Outdoor Fire Place – An outdoor fi replace can be as simple as an old tire rim contain-ing your wood fi re or as elaborate as a brick and mortar creation. This is for something in between the two.

You will need:- Concrete blocks- A reclaimed grill from an old barbecueDirections:Make an open square on the ground from

one layer of concrete blocks. You should be able to lay the grill all the way across the back two thirds of the foundation. The front third should not be covered by the grill so that you

can tend to the fi re.1. Remove the grill and build up three sides

of the fi replace with blocks until you reach the desired height for your cooking surface.

2. Lay your grill atop the back two thirds of the fi replace. Hold it in place by adding an-other layer of blocks on top of the grill. Now you are only building up the area around the grill. Add one to four more layers of blocks.

3. You can use any type of cooking imple-ment that you would use over an open camp-fi re. If you happen to come across something like an old hibachi, the top can be placed over anything you are cooking directly on the grill. Cast iron works beautifully for this type of cooking.

4. Be very careful to use long handled uten-sils and to use heavy towels and oven mitt s for anything taken off of an open fi re.

Toilet Paper Cooker - There are times when we have to use what we have on hand and toilet paper is a great alternative cooking

source. This will also provide heat for your room in the winter.

You will need:- A roll of unscented toilet paper- A bott le of rubbing alcohol- A clean, empty can- A metal rack (something used for cooking

so it is heat proof)Directions:1. Remove the cardboard centre from the

toilet paper and place the toilet paper down into the can.

2. Pour rubbing alcohol into the can to satu-rate the tp. Wait for a few minutes to allow the toilet paper to act as a wick and soak up the alcohol

3. Light your toilet paper on fi re. This burns hot and does not create dangerous carbon monoxide, but any fi re creates gases – use in a ventilated room.

4. Place the grill on top of the can. Put your food or water in a pot with a lid on top of the grill.

Alternative Cooking SourcesNow that you know the serious energy crisis the country is facing (see our interview with GTM’s Pierre van den Heever), make sure you know what to do when the power goes off while you are cooking. Here are a few creative ways from readynutrition.com to ensure you don’t delay your meals for hours.

Soliaredirect Southern Africa (soliaredirect.co.za) – one of the biggest solar manufactur-ers in the country – says researchers at the Stellenbosch University say yes. In fact, ac-cording to Soliaredirect, the researchers say this is so possible, solar energy can entirely meet the country’s energy demands – as of course the country’s monstrously graced with sunshine.

According to the solar manucturing compa-ny, senior researcher and director of the Solar Thermal Energy Research Group (STERG) at the university, Paul Gauché, says solar energy can be highly viable in the country if the sec-tor was suffi ciently funded and supported.

“The potential for [solar energy] is im-mense: If we put [solar cell] farms up every-where we could easily get more than enough power generated in the country,” Gauché is

quoted to have once said.The way it works is that solar panels convert

light and heat from the sun into electricity.On a large scale, companies that produce so-

lar energy assist in meeting the country’s en-ergy demands by selling the electricity they generate to the national power grid.

On a smaller scale, people with solar panels installed on their homes pay less for electric-ity as they produce some on their own. The electricity from solar panels is mainly used for heating water and lights.

According to Soliaredirect, solar panels have the capacity to provide 100% electric-ity demands for homes. This can then mean low-cost, renewable energy, which does not negatively impact the environment.

Could solar energy be the alternative source?

A skills training programme aimed at training the most rural women who own projects in the Greater Giyani Municipality area was recently launched. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), in conjunction with Greater Giyani Municipality, launched the programme to train thirty wo-men on skills such as fi nancial management, marketing and product branding. The women will be trained through a programme called Faranani, which empowers women around the country with business skills. “With the in-

itiative, PwC aims to uplift the most poverty stricken women who run businesses but do not have enough skills to sustain them,” explained one of PwC’s managers. The training lasts for fi ve days, after which the women are given cer-tifi cates of attendance. After the training PwC assist those that need further clarifi cation on how to write business proposals or draft their fi nancial statements. Speaking on behalf of Mayor Pat Hlungwani, Ms Sasavona Mathebula welcomed the project.

So werk dit met beleggingsDie goue reël is dat ‘n belegging (enige beleg-ging, alle beleggings) moet inkomste en kapi-taalgroei gee.

Die beste belegging is jy self — Hoe meer jy jouself ontwikkel, hoe beter word jou ver-dienvermoë. Dan het jy surplus kapitaal om groeibates te koop.

Elke belegging het sy eie karaktereienskappe. Ons kan dan sien dat daar nie net een belegging is wat aan al die vereistes voldoen nie. Dus sal ‘n kombinasie-belegging gedoen moet word, tussen al die bateklasse. Verder beweeg die mark deur siklusse en sal deurentyd aanpas-sings gemaak moet word. Dieselfde oefening sal herhaal moet deur buitelandse blootstelling, om wyer diversifi kasie te bied. Verder moet ook nog tussen die verskillende tipes beleggings vir elke bateklas gekies word. Hiervoor is spesia-liskennis nodig en kan duim suig en of die “ek hoor” of “ek lees” metodes nie gevolg word.

Laastens sal daar dan ook gereeld verande-rings aangebring moet word, ten opsigte van

die batesamestelling (Bate-allokasie) en die on-derliggende beleggings (indien nodig). In dié sin moet die totale beleggingsplan van elke in-dividu gereeld hersien en geherbalanseer word.

Ek het sedert 1987 met my eie geld ‘n un-ieke beleggingsfi losofi e geformuleer, waar-deur optimum groei verkry kan word, deur die regte kombinasie van bateklas-alokasies, gegewe jou unieke omstandighede. Koos & Riekie se beleggingstrategie haal die emosie uit die keuse van wanneer om te koop en te verkoop, deur gebruik te maak van wiskun-dige en ekonomiese syfers en deur konsek-went die verskillende bateklasse te herbalan-seer. Deur te herbalanseer doen ons twee dinge, naamlik:

1) Ons bly binne die risikoprofi el van die gekose belegging, en

2) dit dwing ons om op ‘n gereelde basis hoog te verkoop en laag aan te koop.

Hoe doen ons dit?Ons het nie die wiel herontwerp nie en het ‘n samewerkingsooreenkoms met RMD Fi-nasiële Dienste (‘n lid van die JSE) gesluit en ons kan hulle ook vra om die fonds te bestuur. Ons koop bestaande genoteerde aandele op die Johannesburgse Eff ektebeurs. Ons ver-sprei die belegging oor al die sektore in die mark. Ons bly by die bron van beleggings en maak selfs gebruik van Sanlam se platvorm waar my eie beleggingsbeleid en strategie in “die Smit Som Fonds” bestuur word, saam

met die kundige beleggingspan van Sanlam Glacier l.

Kort verduideliking van aandele

Veronderstel jy het R100 000 en koop Sasol-aandele, sê teen R1 elk.

Dan het jy 100 000 Sasol-aandele en nie meer R100 000 nie. As die prys van Sasol styg na R1,25 het jy steeds 100 000 aandele maar dit is werd R125 000. Die teendeel is ook waar: val die prys na 90c het jy steeds 100 000 aandele, maar dit is

net R90 000 werd.Die probleem wat ons met dit het: nou is al

jou geld in een mandjie en dit kan goed of sleg wees. Om die risiko tussen aandele eff ektief te versprei, het ons ten minste so R500 000 aan-vangskapitaal nodig. Die belegging moet ge-reeld hersien word en daarvoor het mens kun-digheid nodig.

Dit is presies die diens wat ons bied.Hoe werk dit?

Die geld word in die kliënt se eie naam in die genomineerde rekening van die Johannesburse Eff ektebeurs belê, met al die nodige waarborge in plek. Alle ontrekkings mag net na die kliënt se bankrekening oorbetaal word en geen derde-party-oorplasings mag gedoen word nie. Ons kry net ‘n mandaat om die geld namens die kliënt te bestuur en daarvoor vra ons ‘n fooi van 1,6% per jaar. Ons vra ook geen aanvangsfooi nie. Dit mag dalk hoog klink, maar onthou daar is geen platformkostes nie, omdat ons direk op die beurs sake doen.Voordeel van Private Portefeulje:Geld word nie gepoel nie.

Kliënt weet te alle tye waarin sy geld belê is.Kan eie risikoprofi el bepaal.Kan self navorsing doen oor die maatskappy waarin belê is.

Kry direkte aandelemark-blootstelling.Die fondsbestuurder het direkte belang dat die

belegging goed moet presteer.Kapitaal word beskerm deur die JSE se waar-

borg fonds teen bedrog of wanaanwending.Nadeel van Private Portefeuljes:Maak hoofsaaklik staat op die kundigheid van die bestuurder.

Is blootgestel aan markskommelings.Eff ekte Trust werk op dieselfde beginsel as

hierbo. Die verskil is net dat jou geld saam met ander kliënte s’n gepoel word, om die aankope te doen. Ons belê gewoonlik so vir mense wat net maandeliks kan spaar en nog nie ‘n groot genoeg belegging het vir ‘n eie aandeelportefeulje nie. Ons het ook ‘n metode om jou pensioenfonds op dieselfde wyse te bestuur.

Nicolo Rech returned from Chile af-ter spending a year as Rotary Youth Exchange Student.Nicolo delivered a speech at the Tzaneen Rotary Club, sharing his memories. He also exchanged a banner with club president Neels van der Merwe. Nicolo was the first student that exchanged to Chile and he was rather excited about the lifestyle, culture and the high standard of living in a country that is not highly rated as a travel destina-tion. They eat avocados for break-fast, lunch and dinner. He told how he would buy an avo and a freshly baked bread on his way to school — and how they would eat it there and then. Nicolo’s host family is plan-ning a visit to South Africa later this year, confirming that he was a very good ambassador for South Africa.

Reaching new heights... This pair of highjumpers from Unicorn Preparatory School — Makoma Pilusa and Kian None — took part in the SA Athletics Championships in Germiston. Makoma fi nished 14th and Kian 6th in their respective groups. They deserve to be congratulated for excellent achievements on a national level.

SCHOOL NEWSDie Hoërskool Ben Vorster se rugbyspanne het die afge-lope Saterdag in Thabazimbi teen die Hoërskool Frikkie Meyer kragte gemeet en keiharde wedstryde is verwag, veral nadat Frikkie Meyer die Vossies verlede jaar in die Limpopo-haldeindstryd mewt die kous oor die kop terug Tzaneen toe gestuur het.

Die o.14A’s was eerste aan die beurt en alhoewel hulle gemaklik gewen het, sal daar indringend gekyk moet word na hul dissipline. Hulle het met 27 – 8 gewen. Die o.14B-span het ook hul eerste wedstryd van die jaar met 31 – 0 gewen.

Die o.15A-span, in ‘n herontmoeting met verlede jaar se wenners van die Beeld-eindstryd, was gou 0 – 7 agter, maar dit het hulle laat wakker skrik en aanvallende rug-by laat speel. Hulle het met ‘n oortuigende telling van 41 – 7 gewen. Die O/15B’s het ook maklik

met die Frikkies afgereken met 51 – 0.Die o.16A’s het met tye briljante rugby gespeel en hul

wedstryd met 41 – 0 gewen. Die O/16B’s was ook baas met ‘n telling van 38 – 3.

Dieselfde Vossie-oorheersing is by die seniors gesien. Eers was dit die derde span wat met 40 – 5 geseëvier het, en toe het die Nyathi’s vir die derde week agtereenvolgend puik rugby gespeel om met ‘n almintige van 64 – 0 te wen.

Frikkie Meyer se hoop was toe op die eerste span geves-tig. Die Vossies se eerste span was egter eerste op die tel-bord, nadat die vleuel Sibusiso Mhlangeni oorgegaan het vir die eerste drie. Dit is deur Gideon Joubert vervyf om

die telling 7 – 0 te maak. Kort daarna was dit die ander vleuel, Shima Mphalele, wat oorgegaan het om die Vos-sies te laat voorloop met 12 – 0.

Frikkie Meyer het egter nie gaan lê nie en hulle het ‘n fout van die Vossies uitgebuit, om ook ‘n verdoelde drie aan te teken en die telling 12 – 7 te maak. Die Vossies se agsteman, Stefan Engelbrecht, wat die hele wedstryd die Frikkies behoorlik geterroriseer het met sy stormlopies, het die volgende drie aangeteken. Telling 17 – 7. Frikkie Meyer het egter die laaste sê in die eerste helft e gehad, om die halft ydtelling ‘n spannende 17 – 12 te maak. In die tweede helft e het die Vossies egter vlamgevat en ‘n rooi golf het Frikkie Meyer verswelg.

Eers was dit skrumskakel Eduan Smit wat oorgegaan vir ‘n drie. Dit het die sluise laat oopgaan en die Vossies het met briljante samespel tussen voor- en agterspelers nog ses drieë gedruk — deur senters Dirkie Coetzee en Ruben Ragolane (2), plaasvervanger-vleuel, Pule Molokomme (2) en fl ank JJ Anker. Gideon Joubert het al sewe die drieë vervyf, wat in die tweede helft e gedruk is.

Die Vossies het behoorlik wraak geneem na verlede jaar se nederlaag, deur met ‘n oortuigende oorwinning van 66 – 12 terug in die bus te klim en huis toe te kom.

Tydens die skoolvakansie gaan die o.14’s en die tweede span na die Hansie-week in Mookgopong. Die o.15’s toer na Potchefstroom, die o.16’s na Lichtenburg en die eerste span gaan aan die KES-paasnaweektoernooi in Johannes-burg deelneem.

Dit was Saterdag in Thabazimbi ‘n algemene gesig... toe die Vossies met hoë tellings die Frikkie Meyer-spanne op hul tuisvelde ore aangesit het.

Takkies Esterhuyzen van die Nyathi’s gaan hier oor vir nog ‘n drie.

Bernard Vermaak van die Vossies se o.16A-rugbyspan het Saterdag mooi geskop. Hier is hy in aksie in hul wedstryd

teen Frikkie Meyer.

Pfunanane Academy in Modjadjiskloof held their first invitational athletics meeting, against Song Christian Academy and Lighthouse Academy. Pfunanane’s athletes won 117 medals and the overall high point trophy, as well as having the top boy athlete and the top girl ath-lete. Pictured are Modjadji Masondo-Terwey (top girl) and Thabang Mahasha (top boy) with the overall team trophy.

Die Mej Vossie 2015/2016-finaliste is die afgelope week aangewys. Voor sit Talenta Mabunda, Bernice Claasen en Nyeleti Chauke en in die middelry is Yolandé Strydom, Nikki Thompson, Karisia Dohse, Jeanette Auret en Suné Engelbrecht. Agter is Juliana Croucamp, Mariska de la

Rey, Anichia Engelbrecht en Lané Roos.

Die Mnr Vossie 2015/2016-finaliste is ook die afgelope week aangewys. Voor sit Joshua Hlongwane en Ti-yani Mhlongo en in die ry agter hulle is Jannes van der Merwe, Hanco van der Merwe, Eduan Smit en Hardu Pre-torius. In die derde ry is Caelen Retief, Ruben Jordaan en Stefan Engel-brecht, en agter staan Rikus Jacobs en Johan Buitend-ag. Toe die foto ge-neem is was Johan van Vuuren onge-

lukkig afwesig.

Vossies vat vlam teen Frikkie Meyer

Die junior redenaars van Ben Vorster wat na die ATKV-streekuitdunne by Curro Heuwelkruin in Polokwane in die afdeling vir onvoorbereide toesprake deurgedring het, het heel goed gevaar en Juané Croucamp is as die Junior Vossie-Redenaar vir 2015: Onvoorbereid aangewys. Hier is Janet Smit, Anzeret Scheepers en Sky Lambrecht (voor) en Juané

Croucamp en Anneri Stassen wat agter staan.

Sportnaweek wat noglank onthou sal wordEen van die hoogtepunte op 2015 se sport-kalender word dié naweek regstreeks op televisie uitgesaai. Die Bulls se Superrugbywedstryd teen die Crusaders begin Saterdagaand seweuur. Maar dit is nié die naweek se vernaamste sport nie, al sê die Pretorianers ook wát. Die Wêreldbeker-eindstryd wat Sondag in die Melbourne-krieketstadion beslis word, is loshand een van die grootste geleenthede van die sportjaar; ŉ kragmeting wat nog lank onthou sal word. Miljoene mense in talle lande sal kyk na die tweestryd wat Suid-Afrikaners al skuins voor sonop op SuperSport 2 sal laat inskakel en tot so tweeuur se kant vasgevang sal hou. Die rugby, met inbegrip van die Blitsbokke se vertoning in die sewestoernooi in Hong-kong, sal óók wavragte opwinding verskaf. Daarby saai SuperSport dié naweek oor die 30 uur se tennis regstreeks uit Miami uit, asook die Maleisiese Grand Prix en die mo-torfi etsrenne in Katar.

Ockert Vermeulen (17) from Polokwane broke the Ebenezer Mile record on Saturday by 23 seconds in a time of 19:07:42 and thus walked away with the Kenneth Smith trophy (photo left ).

The previous record went to Smith in 2006. When Smith was found dead under mysterious circum-stances in Thailand, his family set up a trophy for the Mile in his name. His father, Mr Neville Smith, was a well-known swimming coach in Tzaneen.

Vermeulen went on to also win the 3000 m males open in another record time of 36:45:73.

It was a sunny day and not the usual misty, cold weather that so oft en marks the Ebenezer Mile. A record number of 457 swimmers took part.

Before the race began, MC Morris Stander from Haenertsburg Rotary requested a minute’s silence.

This was in tribute to 90-year-old local Ms Gub Turner who’d died earlier that week. Turner was the oldest person to ever swim the Ebenezer Mile at the age of 80. She and another local, Ms Fiona Stumbles, were instrumental in launching the Ebenezer Mile more than two decades ago.

Stumbles was at Saturday’s race to watch her young grandson, Jack Stewart from Unicorn Primary, swim his fi rst Ebenezer Mile. Jack came 7th in the u.13’s.

Ms Kerry Spratt , a teacher at Mitchell House in Polokwane, not only swam in the race but brought along several Mitchell House learners to swim as well.

Vermeulen breaks Ebenezer record

Team Stanford Lake College came 328th out of 600 starting teams. The race covered 740 km in seven days over extremely rugged, rocky and sandy terrain.

Over the seven race days and the one pro-logue day, the course involved climbing a to-tal of 16 000 vertical metres!

As great as the race was, it didn’t come without its challenges. The pair suff ered a few mechanical issues as well as illness. But even during the diffi cult times, they kept go-ing with determination to complete the race, knowing that they were doing it for charity.

They managed to raise an incredible R45 000 for the “Dream an’ Do” Foundation charity.

The Absa Cape Epic is the most televised mountain bike race in the world with 27 countries being represented in the event.

The race generated R300 million for the Western Cape economy. Rhoan Abbott and Garry Middleton would like to thank every-one for their amazing support.

Vasbyt pulled Gary & Rhoan through

Team Stanford Lake College fi nished the gruelling, world-famous Absa Cape Epic (report above photo), a gruelling seven stage mountain bike race covering over 700 km of challenging terrain.

Initially two Stanford teachers, Rhoan Ab-bott and Steven Willson teamed up to ride for the schools outreach programme, the ‘Dream an’ Do’ Foundation.

Unfortunately Steven was injured on a training ride only four weeks before the event but luckily ex-Stanford parent and local doctor Gary Middleton, a past Epic fi nisher, was available to step into the breach.

The ‘Dream an’ Do’ Foundation enables groups of less fortunate children to experience a week long programme each year at Stanford Lake College, where they are introduced to Thinking skills programmes as well as vari-

ous adventure sports such as, Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Trekking and Mountain Biking.

The programme also covers environmental issues and conservation and culminates with the students spending a day at the KNP.

As outdoor sport’s enthusiasts and educa-tors, we have seen fi rst-hand the benefi ts of outdoor education.

Children who are pushed out of their com-fort zones through adventure activities be-come more confi dent adults, and it is our aim to provide this opportunity to less privileged children in our local communities.

Through riding this event, Rhoan and Gary raised R45 000 for the school’s Foundation. Some of the proceeds will also go towards the development and training of an Adven-ture Racing Team, which will then take part in the annual Adventure Race for schools.

Heroic action by Dr for school

Stanford Lake College hosted their Open Week-end for Grade 6’s and 7’s. Local pupils and oth-ers from as far away as Bulawayo, Botswana, Mozambique and Gauteng, all joined in the fun which was a two day event including a sleep-over. The prospective pupils started with an art project, a science experiment and a talk on in-vader plants. Activities such as hockey, netball and cricket coaching, a night hike and an adven-ture challenge made sure that the students were exhausted and happy by the time they left. The Saturday ended with all the youngsters rafting and kayaking on the dam in true Stanfordian style! A very successful weekend was had by all.

Annelize Mentz won the ladies’ race

Al weer ek, Oubal. Moenie so hartseer wees nie, dis nie heeltemal die einde van die wêreld nie.

‘Tja, AB, soos Oubal al voorheen gesê het, hoe korter die weergawe, hoe ‘n groter dobbelspel is dit. Toe daai reën kom met jy en Faf opgestel om ‘n groot aanslag te lewer, toe sê my vriend ArthurIngelsman: “Iets naaintie twoe ôl ouwer ygên!”. En toe die reën oor is en julle met ‘n skamele vyf beurte gelaat word vir daai aanslag, toe sê my ander vriend, KoosKakie: “Ons is alweer die slagoff ers van die verdomde Luckless-Dewis!”

Maar as julle hartseer is daar oorkant en dinge moeilik gevind het, moet jy nie dink dit was veel anders hierdie kant nie. Vir eers moet jy verstaan, AB, dat Oubal en sy vriende ‘n taamlike lang en half aaneenlopende spanpraatjie gehad het, want voor julle begin het moes ons ons eers vermoei met Varsitybekerrakbie. Ek dink dit sal dalk jou gemoed so eff ens lig om te weet dat die

Brooklyn-takhare darem bo aan die punteleër geëindig het en Dok Craven se beweerde erfgename (weereens) uitgeskakel is.

‘Tja, AB, ons het beplan om die spanpraatjie sommer te laat deurloop na jul belangrike tweestryd toe. Ook maar goed, want toe word ons dorp se kragkabels mos gesteel en daar in die middernagtelike ure sit ons in die duisternis. Kan jy dink hoe dit sou gegaan het sonder ons ondersteuning?

Gelukkig het dit ons genoeg tyd gegee om seker te maak die Lister is vol diesel — ons is die diewe dus ewig dankbaar vir hul

tydsberekening. Maar as Oubal jou goeie raad kan gee, AB, kies jou bure goed. Jy sal nie glo watse lawaai hulle opgeskop

het toe ons die Lister om drieuur opstaart om die generator

aan die gang te kry nie. Mense het nie meer ‘n sin vir patriotisme nie, AB!Maar terug na die krieket,

Oubal verstaan nie hoekom belangrike wedstryde alewig op

plekke gespeel word waar dit knaend reën nie. Nog minder verstaan Oubal hoekom juis ons telkens aan die ontvangkant daarvan moet wees nie. Jy en Faf was goed op pad om ‘n telling van ver oor die driehonderd te slaan en boonop was die Kiwi’s se voorste boulers in daai stadium feitlik klaar geboul. Met net die raap-en-skraap boulers oor, was ‘n groot telling omtrent ‘n gegewe.

‘Tja, AB, julle behoort julself eintlik op die skouer te klop, gegewe dat julle in moeilike

omstandighede tot die bitt ereinde bly veg het. Oubal dink egter nie julle is heeltemal sonder blaam nie. Kyk, julle het vir Oubal geluister met Ripley, Parnell en Behardien, maar julle wou nie hoor met Kokkie aan die begin van die beurt nie. Daarvoor het julle ‘n prys betaal. Ongelukkig kon Oubal jou nie betyds waarsku teen prima donnas nie. Kyle Abbott het mos bewys hy moes in een van Steyn of Philander se plek gespeel het, of hoe?

Hoe dit ook al sy, AB, moenie jou steur aan die sott e wat alweer “tjouk” skree nie. Hierdie was alles behalwe. Hierdie was net nog ‘n hoofstuk in die geskiedenis van ons wye en droewe land.

Letaba skrik toe nie vir spiereDie bultende spiere van ‘n klomp spelers van Nelspruit — wat lyk asof hulle ure in die gimnasium deurbring — het Letaba se ‘boere’ nie Saterdag ‘n aks laat wyk van hul voorneme om nie die vorige naweek se lusteloosheid op Loft us te herhaal nie.

Nelspruit se spelers is groot en beslis sterk manne en verskeie van hul spelers was reeds vanjaar in die Pumas se oefen-groep.

Na Letaba se teleurstellende vertoning die vorige naweek, wou die spelers wys dat hulle met trots en passie rugby kan speel. Hulle het verwoed onder die manne van Nelspruit ingeklim en in seker een van die hardste wedstryde die afgelope paar jaar in Tzaneen, het Letaba net-net die onder-spit met 14-8 gedelf.

Mooi so kêrels, jul ondersteun-ers is trots op julle en ons weet die vorige Saterdag se fl ou

wedstryd was maar een van daai dinge wat soms gebeur. Ons het

geweet julle sal regruk en julle hét.Dit was ‘n taai wedstryd en die bloed het

lett erlik gevloei. Die noodhulpbeamptes het oortyd gewerk en die skeidsregter het die geel kaarte uitgedeel asof dit Kersfees was.

Letaba het die veel groter en swaarder skrum van Nelspruit laat knor en Nelspruit het gereeld die skrum laat val. Vreemd ge-noeg was die strafskoppe min in Letaba se guns. Op ‘n kol het Letaba in drie skrums byna reg onder die pale Nelspruit se skrum uitmekaar laat spat, maar was daar geen sprake van ‘n strafskop of ‘n strafdrie vir Letaba nie.

As gekyk word hoe strafskoppe by die skrums in Superrugby gegee word, kan Le-taba se gewillige voorspelers hulle uiters ongelukkig ag om nie voordeel te gekry het in hierdie faset van die spel nie.

Daar moet spesiale melding gemaak word van Letaba se voorry — Picasso Coetzer, JP Schwarz, Beast Mushwana en later Thulani Mathonsi — wat hul teen-standers behoorlik opgekeil het. Die drie voorste manne is goed ondersteun deur die slott e, Eben Fichardt en Marnus La-buschagne.

Letaba het vroeg hulle sterfl ank, Glen Mafumo, met ‘n besering verloor. Sy plaas-vervanger, Jannes Van Loggenberg, het egter sy kant deeglik gebring en beïndruk.

Kaptein Sven Hedin was aan die voor-punt van Letaba se verdediging en het menige belowende aanval van Nelspruit gestuit. Hy is goed ondersteun deur ag-steman Willem Snyman, wat nou net fi ks moet word.

In die agterlyn was Slang Sibanda sy teen-stander oor en na ‘n lelike rassistiese aan-merking weet die losskakel van Nelspruit wat dit in rugbytaal beteken as gesê word die bus is vol, nadat Sibanda bo-oor hom gehol het.

Plaasvervanger Ruan Roets het self ‘n skit-terwedstryd gespeel en is beloon met ‘n drie. Losskakel Gom Bvuma was eff ens siekerig, maar het sy kant gebring en ook geslaag met ‘n strafskop. Vleuel Alec Mhlanga, ook gewys waarom hy so hoog aangeslaan word en skrumskakel Henke Snyman het die agterlyn weer fl ink weggestuur.

Dit was ‘n veel beter vertoning van Le-taba en met die harde wedstryde wat hulle gespeel het voor die liga begin, hoop Le-taba op ‘n goeie seisoen.

Letaba speel nie môre nie en daar word nou hard gesoek na nog vriendskaplike wedstryde voor die liga in Mei begin. Die volgende wedstryd sal in die media aange-kondig word.

Friday 20 February 2015: after three days of hunting for the big one with not even a kirr out of a reel, the mood was sombre on the Montego; to say the least.

Leon van der Vyver, one of the team members on the Montego, recalls:

“We were there as part of the Letsitele Boere Bonanza, a social gathering of farmers. Thursday night Francois Engelbrecht came to me and asked if we can’t load the light rods, seeing that the following day would be our last and he had never caught a � sh in the ocean. I told him to get on another boat or come Marlin � shing with us.

“The next day we launched a bit late and I decided to try and go for the big one. There was light rain and a breeze from the South when we went through the surf, so I decided to � sh at Diepgat. I asked Johan du Toit to take over the controls, while Frits Steyn and I started putting out the spread of conas.

“As we reached 60 m at Diepgat, I told Johan to turn and head for deep water. It was Francois’ turn on the chair. At the 78 m mark all hell broke loose. A monster had taken our port long and was peeling o� line. All of a sudden it was very, very busy on board the Montego, with orders running to Johan at the helm and the crew on deck to clear the other four lines. Then I heard Francois say we better hurry since the reel was nearly empty. I realised that Francois was dressed up and in the chair, waiting for us to clear the deck and not to help and shout orders.

“The big � ght was on... for two hours and � fteen minutes we could not turn the monster. He had one thing in mind and that was to take us deep. The pulsator marlin magnet was stuck solid and did its job and as long as we did the same, this one was not going to get away. Francois was battered

and bruised and his � rst deep sea � sh was giving him a run for his money.

“Finally the monster was next to the boat, but unfortunately the � ght was too much for the majestic black marlin and he died next to the boat — so release was not an option. Then we had the mammoth task of loading the beautiful monster � sh. Francois was more or less out on his feet, totally drained. With the help of fellow anglers who came to our rescue, we boated the � sh”.
