Michiel Erasmus (Michiel Christiaan Erasmus, gebore 1934-02-21) is verlede Woensdag na ’n lang stryd teen kanker rustig tuis oorlede. Hy was 54 jaar getroud met Miems.

Michiel (“Gielie, Sepie, Gladde”) was 80-jaar-oud en byna sy lewe lank ‘n inwoner van Lephalale. Hy was bekend as wildboer, sakeman en entrepeneur. Hy laat sy vrou, vier seuns en vyf kleinkinders agter.

Michiel was ‘n gebore Bosvelder. Sy ma, oorlede Tant Maria, het altyd vertel Michiel was gebore op die trekpad iewers tussen El-lisras en Rustenburg. Daardie dae het hulle nog in ossewaens hier rondgetrek. Michiel was op Ellisras in die Laerskool wat nog op

Bosveld verloor een van sy grotesdie plaas Waterkloof was en sy Hoërskool loopbaan het hy voltooi in Nylstroom. In daardie tyd was daar toe nog nie ‘n hoër-skool op Ellisras nie.

Na skool het hy in Brits gewoon en gewerk waar hy en Miems mekaar ontmoet het en in die huwelik getree het. In 1974 het Michiel en sy gesin Ellisras toe getrek waar hulle van toe af tot vandag woon op Schaap-plaats. Michiel was ‘n bekende sakeman.

Hy was onder meer die eienaar van be-sigheidsgeboue in Onverwacht en van die Palm Park Hotel. Hy het ook deeltyds, later voltyds, geboer op Schaapplaats, Wellington en Altoostyd, aanvanklik met beeste en later met wild.

“Die familie be-tuig hul dank vir al die telefoonoproepe, besoeke en laaste huldeblyke tydens en na die siekbed van ons wederhelf, vader en oupa,” het Grové Erasmus hier-die week gesê

Die begrafnis was Maandag 01/12/2014 om 10:00 vanuit Ge-reformeerde Kerk Mogol.

Municipal disgrace!

The ongoing political controversy at the Mogalakwena Municipality has taken its toll on Mokopane as all service delivery has been halted for a second week. The unresolved political dispute between ANC factions is causing a refuse pile-up in the streets of Mokopane. Read more on page 2.

The ongoing political controversy at the Mogalakwena Municipality has taken its toll on service delivery as a number of court in-terdicts to prevent interference in municipal matters have failed to resolve the dispute among ANC councillors.

The complete breakdown in municipal service dellivery is entering its second week now with refuse piling up on the sidewalks and streets of Mokopane. Ratepayers are say-ing they have had enough and some say they find it difficult to believe that any authority can undermine a court order.

But municipal manager (MM), William Kekana and his team say they are not giv-ing up and have again approached the high court after suspended councillor, Thlalefi An-dries Mashamaite and his fellow councillors ignored last Wednesday’s court ruling that

Services grind to a haltordered them off the premises.

On Tuesday the court ruled that Mashem-aite and his followers be removed from the council chambers and municipal building and this time added that the National Police com-missioner has to bring in the Task Force to as-sist, should the local police fail to remove the illegal ‘councillors’.

A municipal employee told Northern News that workers are not striking and are therefore not to be blamed for the lack of service deliv-ery. “Workers were instructed by the MM not to return to their work stations until further notice,” the employee said.

The Mokopane Business Chamber on Tuesday expressed its concern over the ‘filthy’ state the town is in and decided to intervene by means of a cleanup operation which was set to start on Wednesday. Businesses and households are urged to coöperate as refuse will be collected daily from 5:00 to 8:00 am and from 16:00 to 19:00 pm.

The clean-up will start in Mokopane’s CBD and will continue until the municipal workers return to work.

The cham-ber further urges all busi-nesses and households to either take their refuse to the municipal dumping site or to keep it inside their premises.

Consumers are reminded to pay their mu-

Drie mense het Saterdagaand lig daarvan afgekom toe die bestuurder beheer verloor het oor die bakkie waarin hulle na die Mogol Hengelklub se terrein op pad was. Die bakkie het glo gerol nadat die bestuurder vir ‘n aankomende motor uitgeswaai het terwyl hy besig was om ‘n ander motor verby te steek. Die aankomende voertuig se ligte was glo nie aangeskakel nie en die bakkie se bestuurder het dit te laat gesien. ‘n Ander voertuig wat op die toneel gestop het, het die ambulans en wegsleepdienste ontbied. Die bakkie se bestuurder, sy meisie en haar ma het sonder enige ernstige beserings daarvan afgekom.

Two people were taken to hospital after an Opel Corsa and a Toyota Hilux loaded with watermelons collided on the corner of Schoeman and Retief Streets on Sunday morning. The driver of the Hilux who was travelling in an Eastern direction in Retief Street claimed he was hit by the Corsa after it skipped a stop sign. Watermelons were flung from the Hilux during the crash as it ended up on its side.

Inwoners van Mokopane het Dinsdagmiddag in root getalle langs die munisipaliteit byeengekom om die dorp en sy munisipaliteit in gebed op te dra. ’n Groot kring is gevorm, hande is gevat en onder leiding van pastor Richard Vigus en sy gade, Irene, is daar in gebed gepleit vir eenheid en vrede in die munisipaliteit en dorp.

Three arrested for drugsChizoba Cosmos (25), Ben Ihanacho (34) and Fortunate Sethole (25) were ar-rested on Wednesday morning for possession of illegal substances. One suspect waited at a local garage for the other two to collect a parcel when the Police received a tip-off and made the arrest. The suspects drove a silver Chevrolet. The rock-like substances are suspected to have a street value of R250 000. The case is being investigated by the Lephalale Police.

Twee jong mans is verlede Woensdag ern-stig beseer toe ‘n petrolpyp van die minibus waaraan hulle gewerk het gebars en aan die brand geslaan het.

Johanko Barnard het erge brandwonde oor sy lyf en gesig opgedoen en word steeds in die Milpark Hospitaal in Johannesburg onder sedasie gehou vir die pyn.

Sy vriend wat saam hom aan die voertuig gewerk het, Leonard Jacobs, het ook brand-wonde aan sy gesig en regterhand opgedoen.

Die twee mans is direk na die ongeluk na die Lephalale Medi Clinic geneem waarna Leonard na die Chris Hani Hospitaal in Soweto oorgeplaas is en Johanko na die Milpark Hospitaal. Johanko moes ‘n operasie aan sy arm ondergaan omdat die swelling te erg was en die drukking te veel geraak het.

Leonard is Dinsdag ontslaan en sterk tans aan by sy huis in Lep-halale. Albei se families het die Lephalale ge-meenskap bedank vir hul bystand en gebede.

Johanko het ook bekendheid gewerf na-dat Noordelike Nuus vroeër op twee verskil-lende geleenthede oor hom verslag gedoen het. Eers in Junie toe hy twee rowers helder oordag betrap het en bly veg het ten spyte

Three suspected rhino poachers were ar-rested before they were able to shoot and dehorn rhino on a farm in Marken last Sun-day afternoon.

The men: Raymond Sithole (31), Ncena Mashele (27) and Hector Maluleke (26) ap-peared in the Modimolle Magistrates’ Court on charges of the conspiracy to commit rhino poaching as well as the possession of an unlawful firearm and ammunition. They were denied bail.

The suspects were arrested after police followed up information about a possible attack on the animals on the farm. Police, members of a security company as well as the owner of the farm, conducted surveil-lance of the area for several hours and

The Lephalale Municipality has embarked on a project to formalise street trading at Albert and JL Botha Streets. The project started when a steering committee was formed in September to investigate a pos-sible action plan to eradicate crime and unlicensed trading in the area.

With the municipal bylaws as a guide-line, the LED (Local Economic Development) division set out to meet with stakeholders and role-players to find an amicable solution for business owners as well as informal trad-ers.

An audit was completed of all the hawk-ers in the vicinity which also allowed the department of home affairs to check for the necessary documentation of vendors. Those who qualified as “legal” were given an oppor-tunity to apply for a permit.

Vendors and traders were informed that all permanent structures had to be removed by Tuesday for the municipality to reha-bilitate and clean the area. Following the cleanup operation, operational space was to be allocated to all the hawkers who qualified for permits.

The condition of the permit is that no per-manent structure can be erected in the area.

Lephalale hawkers get a clean slate

A trader who was allocated a space can set up a table and gazebo-like structure which should be removed at the close of business, each day.

The by-laws also prohibits the use of

open fires, which means that food outlets should be operated from mobile kitchens. Permits have to be renewed each year allow-ing the municipality to regulate informal trad-ing in the CBD area.

“Our sewage is clean” - technical manager Martie Pretorius ([email protected])

The Mogalakwena Municipality’s techni-cal manager, David Malepa, responded to Northern News’ article of 21 November, “Sewage overflow raises concern,” where a visit to a sewage plant South-West of town and its overflow into the Nyl river was questioned.

Malepa admitted that the the current sewage dams are no longer up to stan-dard.

He said they need replacing as they are leaking. Malepa furthermore denied that raw sewage is flowing from the plant. He assured Northern News that it is treated water and added that a water sample will confirm his statement.

Malepa concluded that temporary sewage dams are in place and a long term solution is pending.

The days of catching a lift with a friend or wait-ing for a taxi are over for graduated mechanical engineering student, Daniel Molokomme who is the proud new owner of a Chevrolet Spark Campus thanks to The Fish & Chip Co.

Molokomme, a 22-year-old Mokopane resi-dent, thought nothing would come from his en-try into The Fish & Chip Co’s ‘Win a Car’ com-petition. “After buying a small fish and chips combo, I entered the competition, just to try my luck,” he says. “I would never have thought that this meal would actually end up being my ticket to mobility. It still feels like I need to be woken from a dream.”

Molokomme received the keys to his brand new Chevrolet Spark Campus at the Mokopane store where the community was present to share in his joy. “I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to The Fish & Chip Co. I have al-ways loved their food and have supported them for many years. Now, I am sure we will be life-time partners,” Molokomme said.

ADT and Vetus Schola have amalgamated their services in Lephalale.

ADT, the largest armed response compa-ny in SA and one of the largest private security companies in the world, will be taking over the Monitoring and Armed Response services of Vetus Schola in Decem-ber.

Vetus Schola Busi-ness Development exec-utive, Bylies Byleveldt, pointed out that though clients should expect a few changes during the transition - such as the company’s sign-boards, vehicles and staff uniforms chang-ing to reflect the ADT logo, their contracts and premiums would stay the same.

“We will not, as far as possible, change the staff, the conditions of your contract or your monthly premiums,” says Byleveldt. “This amalgamation only relates to our armed response business and our Strike, Guarding and K9 operations are remaining in place as before.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and to wish you

The Waterberg TVET College opened its new Central Office on 1 December 2014. The Central Office building was the vision of the previous principal of the college, SP Mailula. Mailula cut the ribbon at the entrance of the building to mark the first step of the college in achieving its vision.

Mailula emphasizes that the road to suc-cess is not by taking the lift, but doing every-thing step-by-step.

“The college achieved the first step of its vision, and now it is the responsibility of all staff members and students to take the rest of the steps to ensure that together the col-lege reached its set goals”.

The building project started on 19 Sep-tember 2012. The team responsible for steering and driving this building project were MEG Architects, KC Maiwashe (Principal

Every learner received a certificate and each of the four classes as well as the learners from Learningland Preschool gave a stage perfor-mance to thank their parents. The parents were even asked to put on a blindfold while listening to “What a wonderful world” and the eve-ning was ended off with learners and parents lighting one another’s candles. It was a first for MDA to perform on the outside stage.

Dit is alweer vakansie tyd! Heerlike lang sonskynure, braaivleis vure, en natuurlik moet ‘n mens nie vergeet

van visvang maniere.Waarookal jy jou mag bevind hierdie

vakansie, daar is altyd ‘n plekkie naby waar jy bietjie kan gaan lyn natmaak. Om jou visvang huiswerk bietjie makliker te maak het ek besluit om ‘n lys op te trek van goeie hengeldamme regoor die land. Ongelukkig is die lys te lank om almal op te noem, dus het ek maar ‘n paar gekies wat bekend is vir goeie swartbaars hengel.

MpumalangaDriekoppies Dam, Malelane. Hierdie

dam is witwarm vir swartbaars hengel op die oomblik. Hierdie dam is omtrent 25km vanaf Malelane, teenaan die Swaziland grens, en glad nie vêr vanaf die Kruger wildtuin nie.

Ongelukkig is hier nie akkomodasie of boot lanseer geriewe beskikbaar nie, maar die uitstekende hengel maak op vir die bietjie ongerief. Daar is heelwat oornag ak-komodasie beskikbaar in Malelane. Sorg dat

jy lanseer met ‘n 4x4 bakkie om te voorkom dat jy vassit. Kontak: www.places.co.za vir ‘n lys van beskikbare akkomodasie in Male-lane.
