SWARTWATER - Skaars ’n jaar nadat hy sy seun in ’n vliegtuigongeluk verloor het, is Dr. Louis-John Botha (64) se liggaam Maandagoggend op sy plaas Gwelo naby Swartwater gevind. Hy is vermoedelik reeds Saterdag vermoor.

Die Spoorsnyers, ‘n groep polisie reser-viste wat in die ondersoek van plaasmoorde spesialiseer, het die week saam met die polisie die area gefynkam en teen druktyd was hulle nog op soek na vier verdagtes.

Volgens die polisie was Botha glo die naweek alleen op die plaas terwyl sy vrien-din in Pretoria was. Sy het bekommerd geraak toe sy nie met hom in verbinding kon tree nie en het die bure gevra om ondersoek in te stel.

Die huis was oop, maar van Botha was daar geen teken nie. Die kluis het oopge-staan en daar was volgens getuies bloed in

van die huis af, gevind. Dit is nie seker of Bo-tha se liggaam by die waterkuil gestort is en

of hy daar gesterf het of dalk soontoe gevlug het tydens die aanval nie.

Dit is nog onduidelik wat uit die kluis gebuit is. Niemand is nog in verband met die voorval in hegtenis geneem nie.

Botha, ‘n mediese dokter wat 15 jaar ter-ug nog op Swartwater gepraktiseer het, boer sedert 2000 met wild. Hy laat twee dogters agter. Sy seun, Louis-John jr. het verlede jaar April sy lewe verloor in ’n vliegtuigongeluk op die ouderdom van 36.

Botha is die tweede boer wat hierdie jaar in die Bosveld-omgewing vermoor is. Susan Kotze is in Januarie op ‘n plaas naby Afguns buite Lephalale vermoedelik met ’n draad-hanger verwurg. Philip Kgoantha (22), ’n werker op die plaas, is gearresteer in verband met die moord.

Noordelike Nuus dra ons innige simpatie aan Botha se familie en vriende oor.

Die Swartwater gemeenskap is geruk deur die plaasmoord op Dr Louis-John Botha.

BAKENBERG - A Grade 5 learner at a school in Bakenberg, Mokopane, has fall-en into a pit toilet, the Democratic Alliance (DA) reports.

This is the second such incident in Limpopo – in January a Grade 0 learner died after falling into a pit toilet at a school outside Seshego, Polokwane.

Luckily this time the learner could be treated at a mobile clinic, says the DA's Stephen Mbedzi. He added that the incident follows an oversight visit to the school by the party.

The DA has reportedly written to the

Another learner falls into a pit toiletacting Limpopo MEC for education, Jerry Ndou, to demand a thorough investigation into the state of sanitation at the school.

“It is unacceptable that learners are forced to use hazardous ablution facilities, with risk of injury or serious infection,” he said, adding that the school involved had only four toilets for boys and four for girls, yet it had 530 learners.

This is a serious problem across Lim-popo where 48,6% of school learners use pit-latrines during their school days.

This unfortunate incident follows Pre-mier Stan Mathabatha’s commitment in his

State of the Province Address last week that government will eradicate inappro-priate sanitation facilities and unsafe school infrastructure.

MOKOPANE - The Democratic Alliance (DA) plan to launch a petition campaign target-ing the Mogalakwena municipality’s R1.5-million water project.

The DA urges Mayor Malesela Sebatjane to probe the project that was finished two years ago, yet fails to provide water for resi-dents. Some 500 households are forced to share three drums of water supplied by the municipality once a week.

The municipality responded as follows:Rooiwaal/Matsogelle in Ward 11 never

Two suspects arrested for ATM theftsLEPHALALE – Two suspects were ar-rested last week for robbing people at ATM’s.

According to warrant officer Frans Mokoena of the Lephalale police two men were arrested after they were iden-tified by a woman who claimed that they stole her cash at an ATM.

The two supects allegedly waited until the woman withdrew some of her money and then pushed her away and took her cash.

According to Mokoena the two suspects can be linked to other ATM thefts in the area.

LEPHALALE - A young motorcyclist was killed in a collision with a motor vehicle on Friday night.

Enrico Smith (16) was driving his motor-cycle in Palala Street when he crossed Walter Sisulu and collided with a silver Fiat Uno.

Petrus Xaba, a witness on the scene, said the driver of the Uno got out of his vehicle and fled the scene before the police arrived. “I heard a loud noise and saw the driver of the motorbike landing in the street a few me-ters away from his bike,” Xaba said.

Johan Nysschen from Critical Life Assist Ambulance services said Smith passed away on the scene due to multiple injuries.

A case of culpable homicide was opened.

DBV diere bewusmaking dag LEPHALALE - Die DBV het Saterdag ‘n diere bewus-makingsdag by die Junction Gholfbaan gehou.

Volgens Mariaan Wentzel, voorsitter van die Lep-halale DBV, het hulle die afgelope tyd swaar getrek en was die pretdag ‘n poging om broodnodige fondse vir die diere in te samel. “Ek wil uit my hart uit aan almal wat betrokke was baie dankie sê,” het Mariaan gesê.

‘n Paar plaaslike besighede het betrokke geraak soos die Remax dames wat ‘n gesigverf stalletjie be-man het. Marius Koekemoer en Henku Janse van Rensburg het hulle geliefde slange vir die kleingoed kom wys en sommer ook ‘n praatjie aangebied.

By Amanda Basson (amanda@noordnuus.co.za)

LEPHALALE – Several residents found themselves without electricity after the Lep-halale Municipality suspended accounts in arrears at the end of June.

Businessman, Martin Nunes, was an-noyed after he paid his electricity account in full and was contacted by a local firm which informed him that his electricity would be suspended. “I run a restaurant business and can’t afford to lose stock, electricity is vital.”

Nunes says he went to the municipality’s accounts department to find out what the problem was, but found nobody who could help him. “I was informed that everybody went to a gathering at Steenbokpan,” Nunes said.

He adds that he spent two days trying to sort out his faulty bill, only to find that the mistake was on the municipality’s side and that he was not at fault. “I find it unaccept-able that all employees of any organisation can go to a gathering and leave rate payers to struggle.”

Astrid Basson, a DA councilor in Lepha-lale says she is aware of other residents who experienced the same problem. “I contacted the acting municipal manager, Edith Tukak-gomo, who assured me that the municipality will send out text messages in future before they disconnect electricity,” Basson said.

Basson says it is unacceptable that elec-tricity can be disconnected when the resi-dents in question is not in arrears.

It is important to note that when a con-sumer is in arrears in terms of payment of his or her electricity account, the municipality may, subject to subsection (2) of the Service Authority’s Credit Control and Debt Collection Policy, disconnect the supply of electricity to the premises.

The Lephalale Municipality has stated

Die burgerregte-organisasie AfriForum en die landbou-unie TLU SA het die week statistieke bekendstel vir plaasmoorde en -aanvalle wat gedurende die eerste helfte van 2015 plaasgevind het en ook nuwe pro-jekte, planne en aksies vir die prioritisering van plaasmoorde aangekondig.

Statistiek dui aan dat 1 747 plaasmoorde en 3 542 plaasaanvalle tussen 1990 en mid-del 2015 plaasgevind het. Uit die vermoorde slagoffers was 1 133 plaasboere, 465 direk-te familielede, 130 plaaswerkers en 19 be-soekers. In 2015 alleen was daar teen einde Junie reeds 27 moorde en 116 aanvalle.

Genl. Chris van Zyl, assistent-hoofbestuurder van TLU SA, het verduidelik dat hoewel Gauteng tot onlangs die provinsie was waarin dié misdrywe die meeste plaasgevind het, Limpopo nou in die eerste plek staan. Limpopo word gevolg deur

Electricity cuts angers residentsthat it provides any resident whose account is in arrears and any person residing on the premises, notice of the intention to discon-nect electricity supply as per section 28(1) and 26(2) of the Municipal Property Rates Act (provided that consumer contact details were listed on the municipal system). The consumer is also given a reasonable opportu-nity to make representations in respect of the intended disconnection.

According to the municipality these steps can be followed to avoid disconnections:

- Make sure that you pay your municipal account by the due date.

- When paying via electronic transfer (EFT) please remember to use your 12 digit account number which appears on your mu-nicipal account as reference.

- Email your proof of payment to: Petro.Swart@lephalale.gov.za, Onicca.mathekga@lephalale.gov.za, annelotriet71@gmail.com or send a fax to 086 516 7049.

These steps will ensure that the munici-pality can easily identify your payment and allocate it to your account. In cases where the wrong account number or street address is used, the payment will be captured in an “unknown deposit” report that gets drawn on a monthly basis.

The municipality will then try to allocate payments to the right account. In many cas-es, due to incorrect details payment alloca-tion cannot be done and the account remains in arrears.

These payments will then only be allo-cated when queries on payments are made by the consumer and proof of payment is provided.

When realigninging the 2013/14 IDP projects with the Water Master Plan, some projects were moved to future financial years as projects became schemes. Rooiwaal finds itself in the 2018/19 financial year based on the financial situation and realignment guided by the master plan. A copy thereof is available, says the municipality.

“Instead we source water from boreholes where Rooiwaal experience water shortage and trucks deliver water three times a week. Only the operational budget was utilised to refurbish the existing boreholes trying to aug-ment and increased capacity with few exten-sions to the existing line,” the municipality explains.

Limpopo het meeste plaasaanvalleKwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Vrystaat, Oos-Kaap, Noordwes, Mpumalanga, Noord-Kaap en dan die Wes-Kaap.

Van Zyl het gesê dat plaasaanvalle nie net meer verspreid voorkom nie, maar ook meer brutaal en in meeste gevalle noodlottig is.

Ernst Roets, adjunk uitvoerende hoof van AfriForum, sê die feit dat die regering weier om plaasmoorde tot 'n prioriteitsmisdaad te verklaar die grofste vorm van diskriminasie denkbaar is.Roets het vier redes gegee waarom plaasmoorde uniek is en gepriori-tiseer moet word: frekwensie van aanvalle; brutaliteit van aanvalle; rol wat boere in die samelewing speel naamlik die rol van werk-gewers en voedselverskaffers; en ligging van plase waarop aanvalle en moorde plaasvind.

Beide organisasies het die belangrikheid van internasionale druk op die regering beklemtoon.

MOKOPANE - The Democratic Alliance (DA) stated that it will be approaching the Limpopo Hawks to investigate Mogalak-wena Municipality for the huge amount of taxpayers’ money that is alleged to have gone missing without a trace as reported by Northern News on 3 July, “R5.57m transfer scam.”

Although the municipality has announced an internal investigation, the DA says they do not believe that this will have any results, given the latest incident where implicated individuals in another investiga-tion were rewarded with higher positions in local government.

“Why the new mayor has not suspended any officials, despite having confiscated the devices used to release payment is baffling,” says the party. Surely they have been allo-cated to someone who must explain this act of crime and fraud.

The DA added that they will ask the Hawks to investigate all officials, whose devices have been confiscated, including the IT-department that is alleged to have played a part in the disappearance of transactional data.

“Looting of public funds has been a trend in Mogalakwena and is a transgression of many of the terms of the Municipal Finan-cial Management Act, which is clear on the

Eloff Botha van Lephalale is baie ontsteld nadat hy verlede week op hierdie verminkte bruin hiëna karkas afgekom het wat hy vermoed is vir moetie doeleindes doodgemaak.

Hawks to probe missing R5.57m

Deur Martie Pretorius (martie@noordnuus.co.za)

VAALWATER – Eloff Botha van Lephalale sien rooi na-dat hy verlede Sondag op ’n verminkte bruin hiëna afgekom het wat waarskyn-lik vir moetie (muti) doodge-maak is.

Hy was Sondag saam met vier jagters op pad Bulge-rivier toe toe hy die dooie dier langs die pad sien. Die hiëna se voor- en agterpote asook sy snoet en stert is afgesny.

Botha het die karkas ondersoek en gesê hy kon geen skietwonde of merke op dit kry wat daarop dui dat die dier doodgery of geskiet is nie. Hy vermoed die dier is met ’n strik gevang en sê hy is oortuig die skuldiges se motief is aan toordoktery toe te skryf.

Botha doen ’n beroep op boere in die distrik om alle diere te ag as moontlike teikens. “Alhoewel ons almal besorg is oor ons renosters,

Verminkte hiëna vir moetie

moet ons nooit van die ander diere vergeet wat ook doodgemaak word vir moetie en bygelowe nie,” het hy gesê. “Ons moet saamstaan en uitkyk vir strikke.”

punishment or penalties for noncompliance. While the ANC fails to put an end to this, communities are deprived of basic services to access fair opportunities,” the DA said.

The DA furthermore said they will also be writing to the speaker of Mogalakwena to convene a special council meeting with the intention to suspend the chief financial officer, IT manager and municipal manager under whose leadership the money disap-peared.

Oscar Ratombo, spokesperson for the Mogalakwena Residents Association’s (MRA) commented on the issue by stating that the MRA is dismayed and shocked by “the lies of the new Mogalakwena mayor, Parks Sebat-jane” and the R5.57-million that is missing.

The MRA claims that Sebatjane is aware of the transaction that was made in the bank account of a senior ANC official in the region. “It is not astonishing to us that this incident occurred again,” Ratombo stated in a press release to the media.

He pointed the finger at the previous leadership and asked for a thorough investi-gation.

Among other demands, the MRA insist the national treasury appoints an indepen-dent forensic audit company to investigate all financial transactions made in Mogalakwena Municipality dating back to November 2014.

Helpende Hand druk 'n drie by Bokkieweek MOKOPANE - Franco Hendriks is ‘n belowende Graad 10 rugbyspeler wat eendag professioneel vir sy land wil speel.

Solidariteit Helpende Hand se Mokopane-tak het hand bygesit deur hom te borg vir 'n week by 'n ge-sogte rugbytoernooi. Die AVS Winter Bokkieweek vind jaarliks in die Julie-vakansie plaas. Slegs 'n handjie vol seuns vanuit verskillende skole word gekies om dit by te woon. Hendriks maak deel uit van die Mokopane-tak se Bemagtig-'n-kind-projek. Die tak hoop om aan Hen-driks die geleentheid bied om deel te hê aan iets groter as hyself.

Dit is slegs een van die Mokopane-tak se projekte. Hul groot doel is om baie meer sulke kinders te kan help. “Ons benodig hulp van die Mokopane-gemeen-skap,” sê Hendriette Williams, takvoorsitter by Hel-pende Hand se Mokopane-tak. “Enigiemand van buite wat graag hierby wil betrokke wil raak, is ook welkom. Ons het kleuters wat geborg moet word vir kleuterskool en graad R, sportaangeleenthede, toere, veldskole en

Deur Karen van der Berg (Solidariteit)

Dit is hartseer om te verneem dat 'n toenemende aan-tal Suid-Afrikaanse kinders nie net diep ongelukkig is nie maar inderdaad met volwaardige depressie wor-stel. Volgens Samantha Marais, 'n kliniese sielkun-dige, voel haar jong pasiënte dat die lewe vir hulle te veel geword het en dat alles buite beheer is.

Faktore wat bydra tot depressie in kinders sluit in egskeiding, gesinskonflik, misdaad, afknouery by die skool, en portuurdruk.

Marais sê talle ouers meen dat depressie hul kinders nie kan of sal affekteer nie. “Dit is nie waar nie. Selfs in gelukkige stabiele gesinne kan die ander faktore wat ek genoem het, tot depressie lei.”

Sy sê daar is simptome waarop ouers bedag moet wees. “Die simptome van depressie in kinders wissel van kind tot kind. Sodanige depressie word dikwels nie gediagnoseer en behandel nie aangesien die simptome afgemaak word as normale emosionele en sielkundige veranderings wat plaasvind in kinders terwyl hulle grootword.”

Volgens Marais is die vernaamste simptome van depressie in kinders voortdurende gevoelens van verdriet en wanhopigheid asook skielike gemoedswis-selings. Sy het 'n lysie gemaak van ander belangrike simptome maar daarop gewys dat een of meer daarvan nie noodwendig beteken dat jou kind depressief is nie. Dit sluit in:

Verandering in eetlusEmosionele uitbarstingsVerandering in slaappatroonWil alleen wees; sosiale onttrekkingPraat van dood of selfdood Marais sê kinders is geneig om beangs te wees

alvorens depressie toeslaan. “Hulle kwel hulle oor dinge wat grootmense as onbelangrik beskou. Wanneer hul ouers byvoorbeeld bietjie weggaan vir 'n naweek kan sulke kinders bevrees raak dat hulle nie sal terugkom nie.”

Samantha waarsku ook dat kinder depressie ernstig en langdurig kan wees. Dit is dus raadsaam om jou kind so gou moontlik te laat behandel.

50ste huweliksherdenking.

Baie geluk! Mag julle nog baie gelukkige gesonde jare saam gespaar word. Baie liefde van julle kinders, agt kleinkinders en die res

van die familie.

Kinders met dеprеssiе: ‘n tragiese werklikheid

Dit is ook belangrik dat ouers nie net op die de-pressiewe kind se gedrag fokus nie maar ook die moontlike redes vir die depressie moet oorweeg. Is daar byvoorbeeld konflik in die huis? Hoe gaan dit by die skool? Word jou kind dalk afgeknou? Is daar span-ning met vriende? Miskien 'n romantiese verhouding wat skeefgeloop het?

Marais voel sterk daaroor dat jy met jou kind oor sy/haar gevoelens moet praat as jy depressie vermoed. “Jy moet altyd so 'n vertrouensverhouding met jou kinders hê dat hulle die vrymoedigheid het om openhartig oor al hul vrese en kwellinge met jou te praat.” Neem jou kind na 'n dokter indien nodig en vra hom oor moont-like medikasie- en behandelingsopsies. Wees open-hartig met jou kind as een of ander terapie voorgeskryf word en verduidelik dat om hulp te kry niks is om skaam oor te wees nie.”

Beskou enige verwysing na dood of selfmoord as 'n noodgeval.

Marais raai ouers aan om altyd hul kinders se gesondheid, welsyn, veiligheid en gemoedsrus te bev-order. “Die grondslag van voortreflike geestesgesond-heid sluit in 'n gesonde dieet, genoeg slaap en oefening asook ;n aangename, positiewe atmosfeer in die huis.”Bron: (Solidariteit tydskrif ) http://welstand.solidariteit.co.za/kinders-met-depressie-n-tragiese-werklikheid/

Minister opens sewing project and promises jobsMOKOPANE - The deputy minister of cor-porative governance and traditional affairs (CoGTA), Andries Nel, visited various Com-munity Work Programme (CWP) sites in Thabaleshoba village, in the Mogalakwena Local Municipality last Wednesday.

While visiting the Early Childhood De-velopment (ECD) - Mogalakwena Nursery Project at Ditlou Primary School, the deputy minister was accompanied by the execu-tive mayor of Waterberg District, Tlotlanang Mogotlane, the Mogalakwena Mayor Male-sela Sebatjane, the Mayor of Thabazimbi, Patricia Mosito, and local councilors.

The delegation visited the projects in the area and thereafter addressed about 1500 CWP participants benefiting from the programme and other community members. They planted trees at Ditlou Primary School and later officially opened the Thabaleshoba CWP Sewing Project.

While addressing participants, Deputy Minister Nel said, “The CWP supplements government’s social grants programme. CWP puts R1,4 billion into the pockets and onto the tables of more than 200 000 par-ticipants.”

“Over the five years of this administra-tion, the CWP will put R5, 6 billion into the pockets of the poorest of the poor,” Nel said.

MARAPONG - Exxaro’s Grootegeluk mine officially launched the “Kids on Bikes” proj-ect at the Thielelo Junior Secondary School two weeks ago.

This project, to the value of R163 000, is a pilot initiative implemented under the aus-pices of the Exxaro Mountain Bike Academy (EMBA).

In August 2011 Exxaro was announced as a headline sponsor and official develop-ment academy partner to the Absa Cape Epic. Subsequently the EMBA was estab-lished. Through the Academy, Exxaro hopes to unearth hidden talented learner riders by screening, training and developing them.Through this initiative the EMBA is helping the youth to fulfill their dreams and through these dreams help rebuild their communi-ties.

The primary objective of the initiative is to pro-mote and establish moun-tain biking as a sport in historically disadvantaged secondary schools. The secondary and longer-term objectives are to promote improvement in Maths and Science marks through incentives and awards and to support and encourage entrepreneurial develop-ment in the local areas.

According to CEO, Sipho Nkosi: “With the “Kids on Bikes” project we

Exxaro puts mettle to the peddle want to enable talented, disadvantaged riders at school level to participate and encourage mountain biking in their communities.”

Jack Radibape, principal of Thielelo Sec-ondary School said: “We are excited to be the first school in Lephalale to introduce moun-tain biking at this level and want to thank Exxaro for launching this project. Schools normally only offer the traditional sport disciplines like athletics, soccer, rugby and netball. Now we can start developing cyclists as well.”

The official training programme for the selected 20-member team will start in the third term.

UMOKOPANE - Japie Snyders van Bosveld Stoei Akademie sê hy is nie net ‘n gewone stoei afrigter nie. Sy passie vir sport in die algemeen het hom ‘n ontwikkelings pro-gram op die been laat bring.

Dié program, sê hy, is daargestel om kinders intensief te laat ontwikkel in enige sportsoort. Die program se naam is LTAD wat staan vir Lang Termyn Atleet Ontwikkel-ing. Snyders se opleiding vir kinders vanaf vier jaar en ouer behels die volgende:

Verbetering van hand en oog koördi-nasie, handhawing van balans, long- en spier ontwikkeling, fyn motories ontwikkel-ing, toepassing van krag en ontwikkeling van refleksies, riglyne vir ‘n beter postuur en soepelheid, handhawing van dissipline en vele meer.

Snyders verduidelik mense het 48 vaar-dighede wat bemeester kan word waarvan die bogenoemde vaardighede slegs ‘n hand-jie vol is.

“Met die program bewerk ons al die vaardighede en bemeester dit. Oefeninge word spesifiek in stoei formaat gedoen aan-gesien normale oefening in laasgenoemde sport 36 van die mens se 48 vaardighede ontwikkel,” verduidelik hy.

”Die ontwikkelingsprogram strek oor ‘n lang termyn omdat vaardighede volledig ontwikkel word in sekere fases van ‘n mens se lewe. Indien dit nie ten volle ontwikkel word nie, kan ‘n mens se longe byvoorbeeld nooit tot hul maksimum gebruik word nie,” sê Snyders en hy noem dat die ontwikkeling van vaardighede juis een van die areas is waarop hy tydens opleiding fokus.

Stoei afrigter praat oor sy passie

Snyders bied die ontwikkeling program aan in Mokopane sowel as Marken. Lesers wat meer hieroor wil weet kan vir Snyders kontak by 076 577 1317.

Japie Snyders en sy assistent afrigter Nico Willemse skenk individuele aandag aan stoeiers wat by hom afrigting kry..
