The lies, the truth & the Letaba Hospital

? Our investigations show that the truth was twisted

What really happened between September 2014, when the

psychiatric ward at the Letaba Hospital was gutt ed by a devastating fi re, and Janu-ary 2016? We decided to investigate further,

aft er government spokespersons had given us information that simply did not make sense. We discovered that we were fed per-versions of the truth...

I read your article on the problem with your water account. We are Account Consultants (mainly for the City of Johannesburg) and can give you the following guidelines:

1. You are, as a standard rule, liable for the water running through your meter. It is therefore imperative that, if there is a leak, that you address it as soon as possible.

2. When you are confronted with a high bill for water usage aft er a meter change, you must do the following:

• Determine the date of the water meter change.

• Take the account before the meter change and look at the following:

Look at the water meter number and the reading. Check if the meter was billed on estimate or on actual readings.

If it is on actual reading, you know that that account had a fi xed end reading. If the account is on estimated readings, you must realise that the meter was not recording consumption, or was inaccessible. A provision must then be made for the actual reading (when they uncovered it) or estimated readings (based on daily average consumption) for the period that the meter stood still.

3. The best way to determine what the closure readings were on the old meter, the date of removal and the reason for removal, is to request a job card of the meter change.

4. It must be remembered that leaks occur when meters are replaced. This is because pipes

become britt le. Over time and, with the meter which may be rusted onto the pipes, the push and pull of the pipes may create leaks. Owners of properties should, especially aft er meter changes are done, check that there are no leaks.

5. One may have the perception that technicians/contractors, when they install a new meter, would check that there is no leak. Unfortunately, they do not do it. Even if a water connection on an empty warehouse is connected, they will leave the premises even if taps are open. They also do not favour the owner with a copy of the job card, nor a lett er of information and warning to check for leaks. If there is a leak due to their meter change, then they must carry part of the loss.

6. The next question relates to leaks. I have

the following procedure:When everybody left , go to the meter and,

when there should be no water consumption, see if the meter is running. If it is, then there is a leak. Take a photo. Aft er an hour, take a

further photo. If the meter moved, then you know that there is a leak.

Regarding the meter:Check if the meter number is correct on the

statement. Check also the reading. Take daily readings — morning and evening to build up a use profi le.

Then, if the meter does not run, take a 20 litre can. Take a proper reading. Fill it up fi ve times to use 100 litres. If the fourth red dial moved more than 1 notch and the last 3 dials are not the same as they were before you started to draw water, you know that the meter must be tested.

7. The Council has a Constitutional obligation to keep proper records. Part of it is that they must bill you on the correct meter. They must load the change of meter on your statement within a reasonable time. I had a pensioner who never knew that her water meter was replaced. A year and a half later she received an account for R85 000. If she received a statement three months aft er the meter change, and saw that the usage spiralled, she would have repaired the leak.

8. A last word of advice. When your plumber repairs the leak, ask him to take photos of the pipe and the connections where the leak was. If it is a galvanised pipe with a hole in, then you must deal with the account. If the pipes are removed from each other, and there was no previous history of high usage, then you must deal therewith with a fi rmer stance.

Th at R89 000 water bill. Here is how you can avoid the pain

Alec Hogg, the publisher of Biznews, a daily business e-mail polit-ical/fi nancial “newspaper”, lives in Johannesburg. He was recently confronted with a water bill for R89 000 for one month’s consump-tion. His experience resulted in a lively social media debate, with many people telling of similar unacceptable high accounts. In recent weeks quite a big number of Tzaneen residents have reported problems with water and electricity accounts. We thought it would be helpful to take note of Hogg’s good advice aft er his experience. We have edited some irrelevant (to Tzaneen) detail in the report.

• Credit: Alec Hogg & Biznews

The story of my R89 000 water bill hit a nerve among members of the Biznews community. Dozens of them, judging by the fl ood of emails from people who had similar experiences, experts in fi xing these issues, quite a few politicians and even a fellow journalist who has some great advice. I was particularly impressed to receive an email from the Joburg Ombuds-man literally minutes aft er Thursday’s newslett er started hitt ing inboxes. As this is obviously an issue that aff ects many, some of the replies have been shared under the newslett er posting and are supplementing this with the rather detailed response, published below, from a professional.

The heroic actions of a 13-year-old boy en-sured the safety of his family during an armed robbery on a plot outside Tzaneen earlier this week. The incident occurred at the Hasivuna plots near Morokolotsi along the old Lydenburg road.

Ms Tilla van Hansen was returning home with her children and arrived on their prop-erty at 17:40. They had stopped outside the entrance at their water tank as per their dai-ly routine. “We do this every day; my son climbs up to the top of the water tank to check the levels so that we know whether to turn the pump on or not,” she told us.

On this afternoon, as young Fanie reached the top of the tank he noticed five suspicious men crouching behind the family caravan in the distance. “Mommy, drive and don’t stop!” he shouted. But by the time Tilla reg-istered what was happening, the men had

already run up to her vehicle. One of them pointed a gun at her head and demanded she and her daughter exit the vehicle.

Fanie jumped off the water tank and ran through the veld to the nearest neighbour. The suspects ransacked the vehicle taking with them cell phones, a handbag and the keys to family property, including the safe, be-fore running off. Within minutes neighbours and security officers were on the scene.

“I thank God that my son had the peace of mind to stay calm and call for help. It was be-cause of his alarm that the men decided to run away, as they knew that help was coming.” Fanie had made it to their neighbour who alerted authorities and rushed to assist the Van Hansens. “In our eyes, our son is a true hero. If he had not reacted the way he did, things could have taken a turn for the worst.”

According to security officers, there were five

suspects; three were armed with handguns and one with a panga. The suspects had attacked one of the workers earlier that afternoon, tied him up and locked him inside the caravan.

This is the second attack on the Van Hansen family in the last month. In February one of their workers was seriously injured when as-sailants hacked him with a panga, while the family were at work. He is currently recover-ing from his wounds. According to a source, it is believed that the modus operandi of the attackers might link them to an earlier attack on a family at the Letaba Estates.

Investigations are continuing. — Joe Dreyer

Brave young boy saves family

Tzaneen se AP Kerk verwelkom dié naweek ‘n nuwe herderspaar. Ds Markus Mattheus en sy vrou Annemien kom nou van Secun-da, maar hy was voor dit ook predikant in Douglas, Steynsburg, Tarkastad, Jamestown en Barkley-Oos. Mat-theus is ‘n boorling van Mokopane, waar hy gematrikuleer het.

Hy het aan die APK se Akademie (APA) sy BA-graad in 2004 en ‘n BTh (met lof) in 2007 verwerf. Hy is in 2005 met me Annemien Ver-maak, ‘n gehoor-ap-paraa t -akoes t i kus ge-troud. Die egpaar het twee seuntjies, Andréas (5) en Ruben (3). Die dominee hou van hengel en hy ry graag bergfiets.

Glimlagte van blydskap was Woensdagoggend volop by die Hoërskool Merensky, waar meer as drie honderd boere en an-der rolvertolkers in die landbou die vierde Malumadag in stortreën bygewoon het.

Dit was die regte inspuiting vir ‘n reeks voorleggings oor die SA-ontwikkelde avoka-dovariëteit Maluma, wat in ‘n stampvol skoolsaal aangebied is.

Maluma-saailinge beslaan reeds ‘n kwart van alle avo-soorte in SA en die verwag-ting is dat dit binne twee jaar die helfte van aanplantings in die produserende streke sal uitmaak. Die avo is wêreldbekend en sy ge-wildheid neem steeds toe by produsente, produktemarkte en uitvoerders.

Die Malumadag word jaarliks gereël en aangebied deur Allesbeste Boerdery van Tza-

neen, met eienaar Dr Andre Ernst en sy seuns Zander en Edrean aan die stuur.

Onder die aanbiedings was ‘n voorlegging

deur mnr Nico le Roux van Absa oor die ekonomie van die avobedryf en hoe waarde deur ekonomie van skaal aan boerderye toe-

gevoeg kan word. Dr Ernst het ‘n uiteenset-ting gegee van hoe Al-lesbeste Kwekery moes uitbrei vir groter pro-duksie om in die vraag na saailinge te kan voorsien, terwyl nuwe tegnieke en plantme-dia ook ingebring is om deurlopende produksie te verseker.

Me Jolandi Esterhuizen van Ripe-4you, wat vir die rypmaak van avo’s vir markte en die verbruiker sorg, het ‘n positiewe verslag oor

die maatskappy se eerste hantering van Malu-ma-avo’s gelewer, terwyl mnr Bram Snijder van Afrupro uitgebrei het oor die regte gebruik van kunsmis vir die betrokke avosoort.

Woensdagmiddag sou verskeie plaasbe-soeke ingesluit het, maar is weens die reën afgestel. Inligting oor die voorgenome boord-besoeke is in die skoolsaal voortgesit.

Die Maluma-saamtrek is ook deur ver-skeie oorsese besoekers met belange in die avobedryf bygewoon. Dit is gister opgevolg met werksessies wat gelei is deur mnre Burtie van Zyl van ZZ2, Odilo Duarte van Peru, dr Ernst van Allesbeste en Chris Malan van die besproeiingsgroep Netafim.

Malumadag floreer in reënweer

Verskeie boere uit die Vhembe-distrik het die Malumadag bygewoon. Hier is mnre Thomas Magadani, Frans Muthala, Robert Munyai, Phillemon Nefale en Isaac Madanga.

What is the truth about the renovations at the Letaba Hospital of the psychiatric ward that was gutt ed by a fi re eighteen months ago?

This has become the one million dollar question. The male psychiatric ward was left severely damaged when it caught fi re on 29 September 2014. In a press statement issued by the health department aft er the fi re, “a quick programme of action to fi x the hospital in a short space of time” was mentioned.

The damage was then es-timated to be R4 million. However, a number of ob-vious untruths about the situation were presented by offi cials since the incident in 2014.

First lie: In January we fol-lowed up on the progress with the restoration, with the department of health. The former spokesperson of the department, Mr Marks Lesufi , then told us that the male psychiatric ward had been fi xed and the psychiatric patients were back in their ward. He refuted allegations of

general patients being mixed with psychiat-ric patients.

Second lie: Last month the department of

health’s spokesperson, Mr Derrick Kganyago, said “the new psychiatric ward will be hand-

ed over in two months time”, and “during the renovation at least three contractors which were hired to do the job were terminated due

to poor performance”. He added that the latest contractor was only appointed to do the work in December 2015.

We published this exclusive report on the front page of the Bulletin of 19 Feb-ruary. Since we did not feel comfortable with some of the answers we got, we decided to continue with further inves-tigations.

Now we have discovered the following:On 24 October 2014 the department of

public works advertised a tender for “ren-ovation and alterations of the existing psychiatric ward and administration, various exter-nal work and covered park-ing at Letaba Hospital”.

According to the Limpopo Provincial Tender Bulle-tin dated 08 May 2015 the R24 million tender bid was awarded to Nkomaba and Bila JV.

When we paid another vis-it to Letaba Hospital earlier this week, Nkomaba and Bila JV was indeed found to

be the main contractor on the site. A sub-con-tractor hired by Nkomaba and Bila JV resumed

work last week and work-ers were busy working on the roof of the psy-chiatric ward (Ward 7). One of the workers said “the job has to be fi nished as soon as possible”.

The question thus arises: Who were the so-called other “three contractors who had to be fi red due to poor performance”?

The questions remain, though: Why did the spokespersons for the department of health lie about the restoration of Ward 7, and why is there confusion and/or a cover-up about the renovations in progress at a regional hos-pital that is of critical importance to the Mo-pani region?

The existing Ward 7 which is being reno-vated has the capacity to accommodate both male and female psychiatric patients in sep-arate sections.

Th e lies, the truth & the Letaba Hospital

Another tragic accident on the notorious George’s Valley road left ten people dead and more than fi ft y others injured on Sunday aft ernoon.

Among the dead was an 11-month-old baby. This was aft er a Great North Transport passenger bus overturned on its way from Moria to Tzaneen.

Traffi c was backed up for more than three hours on Sunday

aft ernoon, as traffi c offi cials cordoned off the road in both di-rections between Tzaneen and Haenertsburg.

Witnesses reported around twenty emergency services ve-hicles rushing to and from the scene as the injured were taken to local hospitals.

The circumstances causing the accident are not clear, but it is believed that the driver lost control over the vehicle caus-

ing it to land on its side. SAPS Provincial spokes-

person, Col Ronel Ott o, confi rmed that a case of cul-pable homicide is being in-vestigated.

On Monday, Limpopo Transport MEC Mapula Mok-aba-Phukwana announced on national radio that she would be suspending the operations of Great North Transport pending an enquiry

into the safety of the company’s vehicles. She expressed concern over the four reported accidents thus

far this year involving this company’s buses. However, the spokesperson for the Department of Trans-

port Public Safety and Liaison, Ms Kagiso Mootane, disputed the statements by the MEC stating that the services of Great

North Transport could not simply be suspended. “There were allegations that the bus involved in the

weekend’s accident was not roadworthy. We have tasked a team of investigators to visit the compound of Great North Transport and examine the wreck-age. That same team will also inspect other buses in the Great North fl eet and if any are found to not be roadworthy, the company will be issued with a heft y fi ne,” she said.

Since the accident, Bulletin has att empted, in vain, to gain clarity from the Department of Pub-lic Works and the Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL) on plans to address the decaying state of the George’s Valley road. “We will be meeting with the various departments including the traffi c department to improve both the conditions of the George’s Valley road and law enforcement along that route,” added Mootane.

Ons Mening Die Boodskap

Dr Jan TruterNed Herv Kerk Letsitele

11 Maart 2016

Is daar enige wil?Is daar enige wil by die owerheid in Lim-popo om te sorg dat die dood van ons provinsie se paaie gehou word? Die afgelope naweek se gru-ongeluk in Georges Valley — wat elf lewens geëis en ‘n klomp mense met ernstige beserings gelaat het — het verkeerslui, vervoeramp-tenare van die provinsiale regering en die publiek weer hard aan die praat.

Ongelukkig het die afgelope klompie jare bewys dat dit maar by praat bly. By die padagentskap (RAL) word daar van die een bestuurskrisis na die volgende geslinger; die departement van vervoer bly in gebreke om die bul by die horings te pak en die verkeersveiligheidagent-skap kom nie verder as allerlei mooi planne en voornemens nie.

Verkeersbeheer in Georges Valley en Magoebaskloof is bitt er skaars. Die ou verbod op die gebruik van dié bergroetes deur swaarvoertuie, het soos so baie ander dinge in ons land ‘n stille dood gesterf.

Die weegbrug wat teen groot koste by Mooketsi gebou is om daardie roete vir swaarvoertuigverkeer tussen Polokwane en Tzaneen verpligtend te maak, is ‘n wit olifant.

So word van verkeersveiligheid ‘n blufspel gemaak. Die regering se kam-tige kommer oor hul onderdane se veiligheid is niks meer as hol woorde nie. Moenie ‘n sinvolle oplossing vir die probleem verwag nie...

Vlieg hoogHierdie twee manne het direk of indirek almal op aarde se lewe op een ander manier beïnvloed. Hulle het nie in die lugvaart-bedryf gewerk nie, hulle was fi ets-winkeleienaars wat fi etse herstel het. Hul stokperdjie was om voëls wat vlieg dop te hou en die voëls in vlug te teken.

Op ‘n dag het die een broer na die ander broer gedraai en gesê: “Ek dink dit is moontlik vir ‘n mens om die tegnieke wat voëls gebruik om te vlieg, na te boots en ook te kan vlieg.”

As jy al ooit gevlieg het, sê dankie aan die twee manne want hulle het geglo om die onmoontlike moontlik te maak. Hul name: Orville en Wilbur Wright. Die eerste mense op aarde wat dit reggekry het om ‘n vliegtuig te bou en te vlieg.

Wat baie interessant is van die twee broers is dat: • Hulle geen universiteitsopleiding gehad het nie.• Geen tegniese opleiding gehad nie.• Geen ondervinding in die lugvaartbedryf gehad het nie.• Geen vriende in belangrike posisies gehad het nie.• Geen fi nansiële ondersteuning geniet het nie.• Geen regeringshulp gehad het nie.• Hulle baie min geld gehad het.Dit het hulle egter nie teruggehou nie. Al wat hulle ge-

had het was hul wil om te bly glo in die krag, om die onmoontlike moontlik te maak.

Ons lewe in tye waar ons gedurig hoor: “Wat mense nie gehad het in die verlede nie. Ek het nie ontvang nie. Mense word voorgetrek. Ek het nie dieselfde geleenthede gehad nie.”

Miskien is dit regtig nodig dat ons ‘n ander visie kry op alles! Om op te hou om myself met ander te vergelyk en wat ek nie gehad het nie, maar eerder te begin kon-sentreer op wat ek het en die onmoontlike moontlik te maak met wat ek het. Die Wright-broers kon dit insien en hulle het ‘n ongeloofl ike verskil in mense se lewens gemaak.

Die Bybel het wonderlike voorskrift e hieroor in Ga-lasiërs 6:4 – 5: “Laat elkeen sy eie doen en late ondersoek: as dit goed is, kan hy daarop trots wees sonder om dit met dié van ander te vergelyk. Elkeen sal rekenskap moet gee oor wat hy gedoen het.”

Terugvoering uit die opname laat duide-lik blyk: Suid-Afrikaners is besig om ver-troue in hul regering te verloor. Minder

as 15% van die deelnemers staan simpatiek teenoor die huidige regering sover dit gaan oor toerekenbaarheid, bekwaamheid, dienslewering, wet en orde en werkverskaffi ng.

Dit is baie veelseggend, veral gegewe die feit dat 62% van dié wat in die jongste verkiesing gestem het, die huidige regering gesteun het. Nagenoeg 60% van die respondente het saamgestem dat “mense besig is om hoop te verloor dat die regering na hulle sal luister”.

Die mees positiewe terugvoer oor die re-gering was ten opsigte van pensioene en so-siale toelae, waar laasgenoemde ŉ positiewe beoordeling van 61.2% verkry het. Onder swart respondente was dit selfs hoër: 76.6%.

Agt uit tien mense het aangedui dat hulle

die regering — en nie ander faktore nie — blameer vir die toestand van die ekonomie. Ongeveer 46% van die respondente het die regering negatief beoordeel vir gesondheid, teenoor 31% wat dit positief beoordeel het.

Vir opvoeding het die regering 36% goed-keuring gekry teenoor 44% afk eur. Wat on-rusbarend is, is dat wet en orde 57% negatief en 17% positief beoordeel is. Dit is ook ont-stellend dat net minder as die helft e van die respondente (48%) glo dat die regering demokratiese vryhede (van spraak, die me-dia, geloof, vergadering en die reg op ŉ reg-verdige verhoor) respekteer.

In die algemeen toon die opname dat die regering die vertroue van die volk verloor het en dat die onus nou by die volk rus om die regering tot verantwoording te roep om ons demokrasie weer gesond te maak.

Die GGA het ook betrokke geraak by voorpunt-navorsing oor munisipaliteite in Suid-Afrika, ten einde inligting te voorsien oor dienslewering, administrasie en ekono-miese ontwikkeling. Plaaslike en metropol-itaanse munisipaliteite word beoordeel deur die gebruik van vyft ien aanwysers oor drie sleutelareas: dienslewering, administrasie en

ekonomiese ontwikkeling.Die munisipaliteit wat die beste presteer is

Swellendam in die Wes-Kaap, wat gelei word deur ŉ koalisie tussen die Demokratiese Al-liansie en die Christelik Demokratiese Party. Uit die toptwintig munisipaliteite is vyfi en in die Wes-Kaap, waarvan agt deur die DA, vier deur die ANC en die ander deur koal-isies gelei word. Die munisipaliteit wat die swakste presteer, is Mbizana in die Oos-Kaap. Uit die twintig munisipaliteite wat die laagste beoordeel word, is twaalf in die Oos-Kaap, ses in KwaZulu-Natal en een in Limpopo en Noordwes onderskeidelik.

Die hooff aktore wat prestasie beïnvloed sluit elektrisiteit, vullisverwydering, indivi-duele maandelikse inkomste, water en san-itasie in.

Wanneer regeringsprestasie as ŉ geheel in ag geneem word, is die opmerklikste dat die munisipaliteite wat die slegste funksioneer in die voormalige tuislande is. ŉ Mens sou verwag dat hierdie areas geprioritiseer sou word in die nuwe demokrasie.

Wat die volk regtig dink... Good Governance Africa is ŉ geregistreerde Pan-Afrikaanse nie-winsgewende organisasie. Deur die benutting van die nuutste tegnologie en tendensanalise, gereelde publikasies en voorbrandwerk poog hulle om staatsbestuur oor vyf sleutelareas te verbeter: Plaaslike regering • Natuurlike hulpbronne • Nasionale veiligheid • Kinderontwikkeling en

jeugvorming • Etiese waardes en spiritualiteit

Skelmslapers fl oreer in Land Bank se verlate gebouDie leë Land Bank-gebou in Tzaneen se Kewstraat is snags minder leeg, te oordeel aan die rommel en kartonne in en op die perseel wat duidelik as slaapplek dien.

Die gebou grens aan die onderpunt van ‘n beboste deel tussen Kewstraat en die rolbalklub langs Crownstraat, wat al jare lank as skuiling vir die omgewing se bosslapers dien.

Joernaliste van die Bulletin het die gebou verlede week besoek. Dit is duidelik daar is gereeld “aktiwiteit” op die perseel en in die gebou. By ‘n oop venster is duidelike merke van in- en uitklim sigbaar. Die joernaliste

kon ook hoor hoe iemand in die ge-bou rondbeweeg.

Minstens twee van verskeie hoëver-rigting-lugreëlaars is reeds gesteel of beskadig, terwyl “oornaggeriewe” soos ou komberse en kartonne in hoekies verskuil is.

Die Land Bank se personeel het reeds in Julie verlede jaar na ‘n nuwe perseel in Peacestraat verskuif. Die bestaande gebou is te koop of te huur, volgens kennisgewings van eien-domsagente voor die ingang.

Personeel van Northern Security sê hulle het al verskeie klagtes gekry, van mense wat onder aanvalle en

grypdiewe in die omgewing deur- geloop het. In die bosse langs die gebou is al verskeie leë beursies en handsakke gevind.

Dit is glo ook ‘n bedrywige nes vir prostitusie, want die skuilplekke is besaai met gebruikte kondome en an-der rommel.

Mnr Marius Jacobs van Northern Security/Watchdog in Tzaneen sê hy hoop van harte die nuwe hoof van die polisie se stedelike sektor, kapt Thinus Erasmus, het reeds kennis van die toestand geneem, sodat dit so spoedig moontlik veiliger gemaak kan word.

LINKS is ‘n uitsig oor ‘n deel van die werf, wat nou totaal verwaarloos

en waar allerhande rommel opgaar. Links onder is ‘n oop venster waar

duidelike tekens is dat dit as ‘n in-

en uitgang gebruik word. Daarnaas is ‘n foto van nog een van die onwettige sla-pers se in- en uitklimplekke. Dit lyk of die gebou se nuwe intrekkers dit vermy om deure te gebruik, want dan is hulle waar-

skynlik makliker sigbaar as hulle in- en uitgaan. Heelonder lê van die “inwoners” se persoonlike besittings en daar is ook van hul “slaapgeriewe” in en buite die ge-bou sigbaar.

A group of 45 Gr 9 pupils from Stanford Lake College in Magoebaskloof embarked on their first expedition for the year. This consisted of 3½ days of hiking, starting at Sekororo and finishing in Penge, taking the route followed by Louis Trichardt in 1838 by ox wagon.

The group trekked through some of the most beautiful and interesting loca-tions South Africa has to offer, including the Christmas plateau and the vicinity of the sites where people still to this day are digging to try and find the elusive Kruger millions — believed to have been buried before his exile.

Reaching Penge — and of course, the shop! — the pupils readied themselves for an

eventful rafting experience on the Olifants River. The water level was very low this year, but they still faced some testing rapids and experienced the full force of nature.

It was indeed a truly amazing expedition which none of them will forget, with many memories made along the way.

One out of five children, throughout the world, is diagnosed with dyslexia. Ms Sandi Wood from Tzaneen describes dyslexics: “They are visually deaf and auditory blind. If one parent is dyslexic, there’s a 50% chance that their child will be dyslexic. Dyslexics have trouble with reading despite normal intelligence and do not have the ability of inner speech.”

Wood (40) gradu-ated from Rhodes University with a BSc in Human Kinetics and Ergonomics. She was qualified to assess injuries and provide rehabilita-tion techniques to recover. However, one thing led to another when she joined optometrist Gail Altona in Tzaneen in 1999.

Altona, after return-ing from an optome-try conference, sug-gested they move into the sports vision field. Adidas has recently come out with transi-tional sunglasses called the Va-rio Lens for sportsmen. They change rapidly from sunny to dark conditions. Cyclist Amy McDougal is promoting them and they’re available exclu-sively at Gail Altona Optometrist.

A comprehensive eye test involves static visual acuity. Sports vision tests are that plus dynamic visual acuity. Sports vision is how well you see when either you or something else is moving. Wood describes it as “eye fit-ness.” She was part of the Cricket Academy in Modjadjiskloof and cricketer Dale Steyn

was in her programme. She gave him sports vision eye exercises and reckons that’s why he’s so brilliant!”

Wood says, “Altona does the initial testing for sports vision and I then conduct another battery of tests. From that we decide on what

the child needs, be it sports vision, visual therapy, therapy spectacles or dyslexia therapy.”

“Visual therapy brought us to dys-lexia. After thorough eye tests I’m referring more and more chil-dren to Education-al Psychologist, Ms Elaine Clarke in Ho-edspruit, suspecting dyslexia. She also does an IQ test and I do the therapy.”

“We first eliminate any binocularity is-

sues before dyslexia therapy starts. We check motor integration and that nothing else is the reason for them struggling. “

Dyslexia signs vary depending on age. Only test your child if several of the following signs are present.

PreschoolMay talk later than most children; have

more difficulty than others pronouncing words. For example, “mawn lower” instead of “lawn mower;” be slow to add new words and unable to recall the right word; have trouble learning the alphabet, numbers, days of the week, colours, shapes, how to spell,

and how to write his or her name; have dif-ficulty reciting common nursery rhymes or rhyming words.

For example, the child may not be able to think of words that rhyme with the word “boy,” such as “joy” or “toy;” slow to develop fine motor skills.

For example, your child may take longer than the peers to learn how to hold a pencil for writing, use buttons and zippers, and brush teeth; have difficulty separating sounds in words and blending sounds to make words.

Grades 1 to 4These children

have difficulty read-ing single words not surrounded by oth-er words; are slow to learn the connec-tion between letters and sounds; confuse small words such as “at” and “to,” or “does” and “goes; “ make consistent reading and spel-ling errors, letter reversals “d” for “b,” word reversals “tip” for “pit,” inversions “m” and “w” and “u” and “n,” transpositions such as “felt” and “left,” substitutions “house” and “home” and often confuses left/right, over/under etc.

Grades 5 to 7These children read at a lower level than

expected; reverse letter sequence such as “soiled” for “solid,” “left” for “felt;” are slow to recognize and learn prefixes, suffixes, root

words, and other reading and spelling strategies; have difficulty spelling, and may spell the same word differently on the

same page; avoid reading aloud; have trou-ble with word problems in maths; write with difficulty or illegible; the pencil grip may be awkward, fist-like, or tight; avoid writing and have slow or poor recall of facts.

In general dyslexics often have an average or above-average IQ, but do not do as well in

school tests as they should. They feel dumb with poor self-esteem and no confidence.

They become easily frustrated and emo-tional about school, reading or testing, and often use avoidance tactics. They daydream, get lost easily or lose track of time. They have difficulty telling or managing time, being on time or learning sequenced information or tasks. They find it hard to work things out in their heads and are forgetful.

Die jaarlikse beroepsuitstalling vir gr 12-leerlinge van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster is onlangs weer aangebied. Vanjaar het 32 hoëronderwysinstellings die skool besoek. Die uitstalling was weereens goud werd, om-dat dit soveel geleenthede tot verdere studie aan die kinders bekendstel.

Die leerlinge wat reeds seker oor hul studies vir volgende jaar is, het finaal seker gemaak

van die aansoekproses — terwyl leerlinge wat nog twyfel, weer die verskillende moont-likhede in oënskou kon neem.

Die gr 9’s het ook met die oog op vakkeuses later vanjaar, die geleentheid gekry om hulle te vergewis van die verskeidenheid studie-rigtings.

Meer inligting oor die gr 11-beroepsuitstalling in September vanjaar sal later volg.

Die Wolkberg Akademie (CVO skool) in Tzaneen het vyf nuwe persopneellede in die nuwe jaar aangestel. Hier is vir van die span nuwelinge: mnr Tiaan Fourie (wiskunde en wetenskap) en mee Edna Krige (gr 0), Minette Smith (gr 1) en Elma Kruger (re-mediërende onderwys vir gr 2 — aflos).

A group of six Stanford Lake College Gr 9’s accompanied the Round Square representa-tive, Ms Amy Taylor, and the Service Direc-tor, Ms Karlien van Eyssen, to a regional con-ference of member schools. The conference was held at Roedean School, Johannesburg. One of the participants, Lara Dando, wrote this report on the conference :

Integrity, Democracy, Environment, Adven-ture, Leadership and Service are the six ideals of the Round Square organisation. We were privileged enough to stay in a very nice hotel

and on our first night we had the opportunity to watch “Singing in the Rain” at Monte Casino.

Over the weekend we did many activities that opened our eyes to show us just how privileged we really are. We went to a township just outside Johannesburg and spent the day there at a crèche, and we visited the Apartheid Museum where we learnt a lot about our history and how we got to where we are.

The Round Square pupils were lucky enough to hear many speeches by extraor-dinary people like Mr Sisulu and Constitu-

tional Court Mr Justice Cameron as well as others. Over this one weekend we learnt so many things that taught us the six ideals.

It was an amazing experience. I honest-ly wish that I could turn back time and do it all over again. I have become closer to my friends, as well as made new friends that I will never forget. My eyes have been opened to a world of different cultures and religions. One of the main lessons we learnt was that you don’t have to be wealthy or famous to make a difference.

The ANC Youth League (ANCYL) in Mopani Region has suspended its chair-person, Mr Hasani Peter Ngobeni.

According to the Mopani ANCYL spokesperson, Mr Tshepo Ratlou, chair-man Ngobeni was suspended for mis-representing the youth league through social media and for disrupting certain meetings.

“He is subjected to a disciplinary pro-cess,” Ratlou told Bulletin.

He said Odas Ngobeni, who was the deputy chairperson, has now taken the hot seat as the acting chairperson in the region, until further notice.

Allegations by ANC insiders claim Ngobeni will face sixteen charges, in-cluding theft and for accommodation for a private guest/friend at Folang Manor for the league’s account.

On Saturday members of the Plasie chess team travelled to Polok-wane for their first monthly chess practice game. All the chess playing schools in Lim-popo were invited to this tournament. The members experienced tough competition, but also gained valuable training and exposure which they can apply throughout the season. Seen here is Zain Yas-sin, concentrating hard.

Daar was sprankel in Vossieland se atmosfeer toe die Vossies ‘n temadag gehou het, waar-tydens ‘n spesiale geldinsameling ten be-hoewe van die ernstige siek klein Imke Geld-enhuys van Tzaneen gehou is.

Dit was ‘n dag van reënboogkleure op die

skoolterrein. Die Vossies het ‘n verskeidenheid karakters en super helde genooi om vir haar geld in te samel. Elke graadgroep het een van die temas gebruik en moes dienooreenkomsig aantrek. Die onderwysers het ook deelgeneem en hul tema was Grease (die rolprent).

Sestien atlete van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het verlede Donderdag aan die jaarlikse Limpopo Atletiekkampioen-skappe deelgeneem. Die Vossie-atlete het uitstekend gevaar en die volgende atlete het medaljes verower:

Meisies: Jolandi van der Merwe, o.15, goud in spiesgooi; Diketso Manyama, o.17, goud in driesprong; Shaun Mkha-wana, o.17, goud in 100 m hekkies en 400 m hekkies; Lara Schutte, o.17, sil-

wer in die 200 m en goud in die 400 m (sy het ook die provinsiale rekord verbeter) en Carmen Botha, o.19, goud in die 100 m hekkies, 400 m hekkies en hoogspring.

Seuns: James Vorster, o.15, brons in spiesgooi; Emile Kruger, o.17, silwer in spiesgooi, Tristin du Preez, o.17, brons in spiesgooi; Melvin Maake, o.17, brons in die 400 m hekkies en Thapelo Ramoshaba, o.17, brons in verspring.

Vossies vir jou, Imke!

Die afgelope naweek het leer-linge van die Laerskool Tza-neen aan die Super 12-rede-naarskompetisie in Pretoria deelgeneem. Sumari Vorster en Waldo de Kock het na die eind- ronde deurgedring. Waldo het ‘n algehele vierde plek behaal.

Dié erg oorlaaide voertuig en sleepwa word klaarblyklik ge-bruik om ‘n vervoersaak te bedryf, want dit is die soveelste keer dat iemand van die Bulletin dit in of naby Tzaneen sien. Die voertu-ig is duidelik ook nie padwaardig nie. Wie gaan optree?

Die nuwe Panarottis Pizza & Pasta Restaurant in Tzaneen het uiteindelik die afgelope naweek geopen. Inwo-ners wag al sedert die einde van verlede jaar ongeduldig op die opening van nog ‘n gesinsrestaurant in die dorp. Enkele tandekryprobleempies is oor die naweek uitgestryk en die restaurant is nou ten volle aan die gang. Die speelplek vir kinders is reeds baie gewild. Hier is me Mariska Vermeulen (die bestuurder), mnr Sipho Mogane (kombuisbestuurder) en me Germinah Maponya (tweede-in-bevel van die kombuis). Die restaurant is sewe dae per week oop.

Lovers spat claims a lifeA 41-year-old man was arrested for shooting and killing a 41-year-old man on Sunday at Ga-Mogoboya village outside Tzaneen. Accord-ing to the Tzaneen Police Cluster’s spokesman, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, the incident seems to have been caused by a love triangle situation.Allegedly the two men met at their girlfriend’s

home and a fi ght ensued. At one stage the deceased entered his car to drive away. “While he was moving away, the suspect shot him in the back

and the vehicle went out of control and overturned. The man was killed

instantly.The suspect later handed himself over to the Police” said Ngoepe. He added that the fi rearm which is suspected to be the one used to kill the deceased was also recovered. The suspect is now facing a charge of murder.

Truck overturns injuring twoTwo men were injured, one critically, when their truck overturned on the R528 in Georges Valley near Tzaneen on Friday. When ER24 par-amedics arrived at the scene, they found a large truck lying on its roof on the side of the road. A man was found walking around on the scene.According to the paramedics they began treat-ing the man for his minor injuries and he told them that the driver was still trapped inside the

truck. Rescue workers struggled for almost two hours to free the man, using specialised rescue equipment.Once freed, paramedics found that the man had sustained serious injuries and that he was

in a critical condition. Both patients were treat-ed and the para-medics provided the critically injured patient with advanced life support in-terventions. Both patients were transported to the Mediclinic Tzaneen for further treatment.The cause of the incident is to be investigated

Two employees attached to Letaba Hospital were arrested on Friday last week, following an incident of theft at the facility. The sus-pects were found in possession of various items belonging to the hospital.

The department of health would like to send a stern warning to employees who have any intentions to involve themselves in criminal activities throughout all facili-ties. It is our hope that the South Africa Po-lice Services (SAPS) will get to the bottom of this matter so as to rid the department of any criminal elements, said the depart-ment’s spokesperson, Mr Derick Kganyago.

Members of the community are encour-aged to report any suspected crime to their nearest Police Stations or tip off the depart-ment through the MEC’s Hotline on 0800 91 91 91.

Deur Elsie Degenaar van Absolutely Water

Die volgende oorlog oor interna-sionale grense heen gaan dalk oor water wees — skoon water.

Ons moet almal ons deel by-dra om besoedeling te

beperk. Laat die ou fl itsbatt erye, gloeilampe, reke-naaronderdele en inkkassett e by die winkels wat stort-inghouers het vir

sulke goed.

Laat die mense wat met motorolie, verf en me-disyne werk, jou ou voorraad ook op die regte manier weggooi.

As al die produkte waarvan die leeft yd verstryk het en plastiekbott els, babadoeke, ensovoorts, op rommelhope beland, breek die produkte af na lood, hormone en hor-moonnabootsers, radio-akti-witeit en baie ander gevaar-like verbindings tussen stowwe vind plaas.

Al die gevaarlike stowwe gaan na damme, ri-viere en ondergrondse water. Dit is gevaarlik vir mense, veral vir jong kinders. Ons moet dus almal ons kant bring om die aarde te beskerm.

Ek kan die RO-watersuiweraar aanbeveel. Dit is die beste, gevorderdste tegnologie waar jy gesuiwerde water in jou kraan kry en al die on-suiwerhede uit jou water verwyder word. Die water is helder en proe suiwer.

Kies uit ‘n wye reeks produkte en ons koppel dit

aan jou suiweraar vir jou warm en koue water.Om sediment uit water te haal, het ons 10”- en

20”- fi lters. Die Mega Char maak die hele huis se water vry van sediment, chloor en onorga-niese stowwe.

Verhuuropsies is beskikbaar. Voorraad is altyd beskikbaar. Ander produkte soos wa-terversagters, produkte wat die Ph regstel en yster verwy-der, is ook beskikbaar. Groter suiweraars vir industriële be-

nodighede en pakhuise is eweneens beskikbaar.Skakel gerus vir Elsie by 083 458 4746 en Dan-

na by 083 560 8636. Ons help graag.

Water kan/gaan nog oorlog laat woed

This high quality double O-ring purifi er comes with a manual fl ush which pro-longs the life of the RO membrane. The RO101SV Reverse Osmosis purifi er is

one of the fi nest units in its class. It has a powder coat-ed aluminium back plate with stainless steel screws to make it totally rust-free. This unit produces 290 litres

per day, depending on inlet water TDS and quality. The high quality booster pump provides suffi cient water pressure to make purifi ca-tion effi cient and fast.

Few things are regarded as truly South African as soc-cer. More specifically street soccer, or “Raga Bolo” as it is named in the townships. As T20 is to cricket, so too is Raga Bolo to soccer. It is a five-a-side, high-paced soccer game played on a much smaller playing field, with the road and streetlamps as your stadium.

Each game consists of two, ten-minute halves with a two minute resting period in between. Each team has a goalkeeper and four field players. In 2011 a national tour-nament was launched which saw taverns and liquor out-lets in townships and rural areas across the country enter their own five-man squads into an official championship tournament.

Communities nationwide followed the action with

games being played in neighbourhoods everywhere. This year the tournament is back, and as the official kick-off games were played in Polokwane last weekend, it is sure to provide bountiful excitement to soccer-lovers across the province.

The games started in February this year and will culmi-nate in the finals in June 2016. The teams compete on a log system with points awarded for wins, draws and losses. A total of 136 teams have qualified and entered this year’s tournament, so be sure to watch the press for game dates and venues and treat yourself and your family to a week-end of exciting sporting action.

Street soccer fever hits Limpopo

Saturday morning six teams took to the streets of Sheshogo in Polok-wane for the kick-off of the 2016 Raga Bolo championship. Some fantas-tic soccer was witnessed as players of all ages clashed in their chase to make it to the finals in June. Photos: Joe Dreyer

Dié spannetjie atlete van die Laerskool Tzaneen het medaljes by die Limpopo Atletiekkampioenskappe verower. Hulle is Shane Mushwana, Ndzalama Twala, Paballo Legodi, Mohau Makgoba, Maynard Kleynhans, Matimba Mtebule, Jappie Makhubele, Elandri J van Rensburg, Rea Modiba en Anja Maree.

Merensky High School started their official hockey sea-son on home ground on Saturday against Piet Potgieter High School from Mokopane. A huge crowd supported the Plasie rugby, netball and girls hockey teams.

The girls hockey teams started their season on a high note. The u.14A team lost their game 2-1, with Leoné Slabbert named as player of the match. The u.15A team gave the audience a glimpse of what they can expect from Plasie hockey this season, by winning their game 2-0, with Jenelle de Jonge and Lourencia van Dyk scoring the goals. Lianca Pie-terse was named player of the match. The u.16A team lost 1-0 (player of the match: Johanne Mouton)

and the 2nd team’s game ended in a tie, 1-1 (player of the match: Hayley Stephenson). Merensky’s flag ship 1st team was a source of great joy when they ended triumphantly with a score of 3-1. Xané du Toit and Lilly Pohl (player of the match) scored 1 and 2 goals respectively.

In the photo herewith are the girls of the first hock-ey team. In front are Jenna Devenish, Delean O’Niel, Lilly Pohl, Bianca Elbrecht, Pat Madalane, Klariska Venter and Michelle Stevens, and (back) Chantel Mashwangane, Corli van der merwe, Xané du Toit, Gwendy Botha, Amelia Middelton, Mrs. Nadia Last (coach), Altacia Gubitz and Elzaan Engelbrecht.

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se hokkiespanne het Saterdag die 2016-seisoen teen baie sterk mededinging deur die Hoërskool Jeugland in Kemptonpark geopen. Die Vossies het nooit opgehou om teen die sterk opposisie te veg nie.

Die volledige uitslae was:Meisies: o.14-A verloor 1-0; o.14-B verloor

1-0; o.15-A verloor 5-0; o.15-B verloor 1-0; o.16-A gelyk 0-0; o.16-B wen 2-1; 2de span

wen 2-0 en 1ste span gelykop 0-0.Seuns: o.14-A gelykop 1 elk; 1ste span wen

1-0. Die seuns se eerste span het goeie hokkie gespeel en in die tweede helfte die wendoel aangeteken (deur Heinrich van Staden). Die meisies se eerste span het baie aanvallende hokkie gespeel en was die sterker span op die veld. Hulle kon egter nie afrond in die sirkel nie en die wedstryd het onbeslis met geen doel wat aangeteken kon word nie, geëindig.

Die afgelope naweek het die Vossies se wintersport be-hoorlik afgeskop, met die eerste netbalwedstryd teen die Hoërskool Jeugland. Ten spyte van die vroeg op-staan, ver pad en uitputtende son het die Vossies hulle baie goed van hul taak gekwyt.

Die volledige uitslae was: o.14A verloor 14-8; o.14B ver-loor 19-12; o.15A wen 17-13; o.15B wen 16-6; o.16A wen 29-2; o.16B speel gelykop 12 elk; o.17A wen 28-6; o.17B verloor 18-16.

Die eerste span het die Vossies se naam hoog gehou en met ‘n briljante telling van 47-14 gewen. Saterdag se spel was ‘n goeie voorbeeld van spanspel en vininge hanteer-werk. Camilla Phakula was ‘n doring in haar opponent se vlees, met haar verdediging; en Carmen Botha het be-hoorlik die doele ingeryg.

Die Lions, wat skielik ondersteuners het op plekke waarvandaan hulle voorheen selde lof gekry het, word dié naweek aan een van die strafste toetse in Superrugby onderwerp.

ŉ Paar uur voordat die Stormers en die Sharks Saterdag op Nuweland aanmekaarspring, speel die Lions in Dunedin teen die Highlanders. ŉ Oorwinning, of ten minste ŉ blink vertoning teen die kampioenspan, sal vir die aansien van SA rugby baie werd wees.

Ná agt drieë in wegwedstryde teen die Sunwolves en die Chiefs het die Johannesburgers gewis ŉ wenkans teen die tuisspan, wat een van sy eerste twee wedstryde verloor en die ander een met een punt gewen het.

Engeland en Wallis se wedstryd in die Sesnasiereeks kan dalk die hoogtepunt van die naweek se rugby op televisie wees, maar die emosies sal ewe hoog loop wanneer die Stormers en die Sharks mekaar bydam.

Krieket se groot kanonne is nog nie vir die T20-wêreldtoernooi in Indië gelaai nie, maar die kleingeweer-skote klap al dié naweek, wanneer ses wedstryde uitgesaai word.

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

Waar Oubal grootgeword het was geleerdheid nie groot nie — in der mate dat Oubal se oorlede ou moeder dikwels gesê het geleerdheid dryf ‘n mens tot waansin. Dit is nie iets waarop Oubal besonder trots is nie, maar hy is nogtans innig dankbaar vir dié eenvoudige wysheid.

Geleerdheid na Oubal se welbekende onbeskeie opi-nie is nie as sulks sleg nie, mits die skoenmaker hom by sy lees hou. Vat nou maar ‘n man soos Prof Tim Noakes wat sy naam gemaak het as ‘n sportwetenskaplike. Toe Prof Noakes destyds in ‘n windtonnel gaan bewys het dat die naaswenner van die Tour de France eintlik die wenner kon gewees het as dit nie was vir die windweerstand van sy po-niestert nie, was dit ‘n prysenswaardige stukkie wetenskap.

‘Tja, maar toe Prof Noakes vir ‘n mammie aanbeveel dat sy haar pasgebore baba spek en eiers moet voer (of iets in dier voege), sonder dat hy ‘n diëetkundige of ‘n kinderarts is,

het die skoenmaker op die verkeerde lees begin hamer. Pleks Prof Noakes het vir ons gaan uitwerk

hoekom Willie Morris minstens twee wydlo-pers in elke boulbeurt afstuur, of hoekom Ro-

sco Speckman met twee hoogvat-strafdrieë ‘n wedstryd pasella aan die Aussies oorhandig, of

hoekom Bjorn Basson drie drieë in ‘n wedstryd kan druk, maar nie twee laagvatt e kan uitvoer nie, dan was die sportwêreld ‘n beter plek en hy nie in die moeilikheid nie!

Dis egter nie oor Prof Noakes waaroor Oubal wil praat nie, maar eerder oor laagvatt e/duikslae/têkkels en geleerde mense. So lees Oubal verlede week dat ‘n groep van 74 dokters en doktore in Engeland ‘n ope brief aan regeringso-werhede gerig het waarin hulle ‘n versoek rig dat duikslae in skolerakbie verbied moet word.

Die rede? Kinders kan seerkry as hulle geduik word. Vertel ons iets wat ons nie weet nie. Maar, sê hulle, die regering het ‘n plig om kinders te beskerm teen seerkry. “Nanny state”, enigiemand?

Met die eerste oogopslag het dit Oubal egter nie te veel ge-pla nie, want enigiets wat Engeland ‘n nog groter agterstand op die rakbieveld gee, pas so reg in sy kraal. Het hulle nie

juis verlede jaar die vernedering gesmaak dat hulle met hul eie aanbieding van die WB in die groepfase uitgeskakel is nie? So, “the more the merrier”, soos hulle self sê!

Oubal is egter verbaas dat die hoogsgeleerdes, as hulle dan so besorg is, nie ook ander aktiwiteite waarin kinders kan seerkry wil verbied nie. Oubal dink aan dinge soos skaats-plank ry, foefi eslaaids, boomklim, fi etsry, kwadbaaiks of selfs om jou Jack Russell vir ‘n wandeling te neem (soos wat Quinton de Kock onlangs uitgevind het). En dan praat Ou-bal nie eens van in ‘n kar klim sodat jou ma jou by die skool kan gaan afl aai, of klein kinders wat toegelaat word om op die voorste sitplek te staan nie.

Oubal is redelik seker as jy een van die plaaslike kwakke vra, sal hy vir jou sê hy sien meer ernstige beserings onder kinders weens genoemde aktiwiteite as van rakbie. Maar dis juis een van die probleme met die ope brief. So ver Oubal kon vasstel is sleg ‘n baie klein persentasie van die brief se ondertekenaars dokters; die res is sosioloë, sielkundiges en psigiaters — sosiale aktiviste wie se opinies Oubal sedert die dae van ou Sigmund Freud maar met ‘n knippie sout vat!

Waansinnige Geleerdheid

Merensky’s fi rst rugby team was invited to the Blue Bulls Prestige Rugby Day at Loft us Versfeld in Pretoria on Thursday.

The boys experienced true rugby tra-dition in Blue Bull style when they en-joyed a tour of the stadium. Aft erwards they described the visit to the Bulls’ cloak room as the highlight of the tour.

The boys also rubbed shoulders with players of the Superugby team who act-

ed as chaperones. The Plasie team stood their ground

against Pretoria Technical High School (20-20), who actually won the Beeld Tro-phy for three years running. Seen here are (front) Pieter van Rooyen, Jannes Kirst-en, Ett ienn Labbert, Travies Ismail, Roe-lof Smit, Almo Julies, Quiniso Madzhiga, Armand Steyn, Noko Malatji, Kevin van der Bergh, Reinard Strydom, Henkus

Steenkamp and Timothy Elphinstone. At the back are Lebo Malowa, Christopher Hamilton-Fowle, Jean-Luc Burger, Dy-lan Herrendoerfer, MJ Bench, Pieter van der Merwe (coach), Joe Raspel, Letabo Kampja, Cliff ord Sekgobela, Masedi Ma-namela, Richard Coleman, Morné Small, Rudolph Beetge, Sipho Ntsanwisi, Clin-ton Gerber (coach) and Drikus Viljoen (manager).

Plasies shine at Loft us clashes

Two Interns at Stanford Lake College, Mr Wessel Ludick (second from the left) and Miss Nita-Mari Nel (right next to Ludick), success-fully completed a grueling lifesaving course in Polok-wane. The course consisted of theory and class time, but mostly of practical lifesav-ing skills in the pool. Both Wessel and Nita proved to be very capable lifeguards

and are now affi liated life-guards. They will be putting their new skills to practice next weekend at ‘The Wik’ Offroad Triathlon, as well as the Ebenezer Mile the fol-lowing weekend.• Maybe they could assist the GTM so that the new R17 million swimming bath in Tza-neen can be opened to the residents of the town before the winter? — Editor

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se rugbyseisoen het die afgelope naweek op ‘n hoë noot afgeskop. Die eerste span het Donderdag op Loft us Vers-feld teen Potchefstroom Gimnasium gespeel en Saterdag het al die spanne teen Jeugland van Kemptonpark te staan gekom.

Vir die eerstes was dit ‘n groot eer om op Loft us rugby te speel, met oud-Vossie Trevor Nyakane wat saam met die span beweeg en hulle aangemoedig het. Die Vossies het die jaar

fl ink begin, deur die span wat hulle verlede jaar in die Beeldtrofee se halfeindstryd uitgeskakel het, met ‘n telling van 30-10 te wen.

Slegs 48 uur later het die eerstes hul tweede wedstryd vir die jaar met seer en moeë lywe teen Jeugland gespeel. Hulle het uitstekende rugby gespeel en met 57-0 gewen. Die Vossies se tweede en derde spanne het gewys dat daar diepte in Vossieland is en hulle het ook gemaklik teen Jeugland gewen. Die tweede span het met

60-0 en die derde span het met 57-0 gewen.Die Vossies se junior spanne het strawwer

teenstand en gemengde welslae gehad. Die o.16A-span het ‘n klipharde wedstryd gespeel en verdien ‘n klop op die skouer deur met 29-15 te kon wen. Die o.16B-span het die meeste punte van die dag aangeteken en Jeugland met ‘n tel-ling van 64–0 behoorlik oorrompel.

Die o.15-groep het swaar getrek en albei spanne het hul wedstryde verloor. Die A-span

het met 21-12 verloor, terwyl die B-span met 25-5 die onderspit moes delf.

Die o.14A-span het teen ‘n groot span van Jeug-land te staan gekom. Die jong Buff eltjies was kort voor die einde 17-5 agter, maar hulle het puik kar-akter gewys en na ‘n reusepoging nog twee driëe gedruk. Die eindtelling was 17 elk. Die o.14B’s het moedig probeer, maar met 27-5 verloor.

Die Vossies speel more in Pretoria teen die Hoërskool Oos-Moot.

Die Vossies spring parmantig weg
