Hoë rekeninge jaag bloeddruk op

‘n Voorbeeld van een rekening waar daar meer as een maand se verbruik op die rekening verskyn, met die gevolg dat ‘n groot aantal eenhede in die hoogste tariefgleuf val.

Wanordelike munisipale rekenings en onregmatige afsnyding van krag jaag verbruikers se bloeddruk op. Sedert die instelling van die nuwe elektrisiteitstariewe wat op 1 Augustus van krag geword het, ontvang vele lede van die gemeenskap elek-trisiteitsrekenings en –lesings wat getuig van ‘n Babelse verwarring.

“Die Makhado munisipaliteit se hante-ring van elektrisiteitsrekenings het ontaard in ‘n ondraaglike maandelikse oorlas wat grenslose frustrasie en verwarring veroorsaak, my bloeddruk opjaag en my magteloos laat toekyk hoe ek gewetenloos verarm en onbil-lik belas word met oënskynlik kwaadwillige ingewikkelde rompslomp,” verwoord senior burger mnr. Frances van der Merwe (75) die situasie en voeg by dat elektrisiteitsvoorsie-ning veronderstel is om die lewe geriefl iker en aangenamer te maak en ‘n bekostigbare diens te wees.

“Ek word nou verplig om ernstig te oorweeg of ek so ‘n diens hoegenaamd kan bekostig. Die poging om elke maand voor te bly met die betaling van sulke rekenings voel soos Sisi-fusarbeid,” sê Van der Merwe. Sisifus was ‘n koning in die klassieke mitologie wat gestraf is deur sinnelose, onophoudelike arbeid. Hy

moes in die onderwêreld ‘n swaar steen teen ‘n steil heuwel oprol en net as hy die steen amper bo het, rol dit weer tot onder en moet hy van voor af begin.

‘n Ander inwoner, me. Elma van Niekerk, wat amper 80 jaar is, het reeds die elektrisiteits-stryd gewonne gegee en werk nou net met gas. “Ek is tevrede so en dierbare vriende het vir my ‘n gasyskas en ‘n gasvrieskas geskenk. Verder kook ek vooruit op my gasstoof en vries die kos,” sê tannie Elma.

Me. Max Naudé (65), ‘n geestelike kin-derwerker in Tshikota, se krag is op 2 Okto ber onregmatig afgeskakel. Haar man gebruik suurstof en boonop het sy die kerk se vrieskaste met kos vir ‘n voedingskema by haar. Dit is van die grootste belang dat sy oor elektrisiteits toevoer beskik. Die kragafsny-ding was sonder die nodige twee weke kennis-gewing. Haar Augustus-rekening het skielik ‘n bedrag van meer as R7 900 getoon, maar wanneer die bedrae op die rekening bymekaar getel is, het dit slegs sowat R1 000 beloop, wat sy betaal het. Haar krag is summier afgesit. Sy is inderhaas munisipaliteit toe, waar daar aan haar gesê is dat daar ‘n lesing van 5 000 eenhede op haar meter is en dat dít die bedrag so opgestoot het. Haar meterlesing het dit glad nie getoon nie en dit is nêrens op haar rekeninge gerefl ekteer nie.

Naudé het vir me. Inga Gilfi llan, voorsitter van die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereni-ging (SBBV), by die munisipaliteit raakge-loop. Alhoewel Naudé nie ‘n lid van die SBBV is nie, het Gilfi llan haar dadelik bygestaan en die krag is dieselfde middag aangeskakel. In-tussen het Naudé die September-rekening met ‘n verskuldigde bedrag van R8 130 ontvang. Mnr. Phillip Olivier, SBBV-bestuurder, het Dinsdag die storie van die 5 000 eenhede met die munisipaliteit uitgesorteer en wag vir die bewyse dat dit werklik gedoen is.

Die feit dat die nuwe glyskaaltariewe terug-werkend gehef is, is ‘n probleem op baie rek-eninge. Nog ‘n krisis is dat elektrisiteitslesings vir drie maande nie op ‘n rekening verskyn nie. Wanneer die gesamentlike lesing van drie maande dan op een maand verskyn, stoot dit die eenhede in die hoogste tariefgleuf van hoër as 600 kilowatt in waar R1.36 per kW eenheid betaal moet word, in teenstelling met die 67 sent van die eerste 0 tot 50 kW. Die tariewe tussen in is R0.85 (vir 51 tot 350 kW) en R1.14 (tussen 350 en 600kW).

“Hulle het drie maande voor die verhoging van die tariewe en die invoer van die nuwe glyskaal opgehou lesings invoer en het dit dan gesamentlik op een rekening laat verskyn.

Salon Lu-iz op Ma kha-do (Louis Tri chardt) het on langs twee nuwe haar kapsters in hulle midde vervelkom. Y o l a n d i P r i n s l o o (links) is reeds vyf maande by Sa lon Lu-iz. Sy het aan die begin van die jaar by Serwalo gegradeer, waar sy ook haar teorie met lof geslaag het. Mari-Louise Eloff het pas by die salon aangesluit. Sy is reeds agt jaar in die bedryf en het ook by Serwalo gekwalifiseer. Hulle nooi graag kliënte uit om hulle volgende haarafspraak by Salon Lu-iz te maak.

For Chris Groenewald, aka the Mad Rabbit, tattooing started off as a hobby. He fell in love with this individualis-tic art, and business started to do so well that, fi ve months ago, he opened his own stu-dio, Mad Wabbit Tattoos, in Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

The studio is situated in Burger Street, in the Maranatha

Centre.Chris is assisted by Sharen

Smith, who is also a very ca-pable tattoo artist. Both of them can also do body piercings. They are in love with piercing and tattoos as an expression of art, but tattoos in particular. “It is addictive; once you’ve started, you just want to get another tattoo,” says Chris. His

first experience with tattoos was when he got his fi rst tattoo. That was when he started to get interested in becoming a tattoo artist.

With an eye for the creative, Chris is able to do freehand or stencilled tattoos, and if a design is too intricate, he will be upfront with clients. Every procedure is 100% safe, and

only sterile equipment is used to ensure peace of mind for their clients.

Both Chris and Sharen have a professional bedside manner. They also use only the best quality ink to ensure that a tattoo does not fade too easi-ly. If a tattoo does fade, after years, Chris and Sharen will just touch it up to make it look as good as new.

The Mad Wabbit Studio also offers fl exible business hours for clients. The studio is open, on weekdays, from 10:00 till 18:00. For clients who have a full-time job, an appointment can be made with Chris to suit them.

For more information or appointments, Chris can be contacted at 084 729 4651 or Sharen at 081 014 9176.

(Vervolg van p. 1)“Dit is ‘n doelbewuste, roeke-

lose optrede wat grens aan krim-inele bedrog,” sê Van der Merwe. “Ons kry verskriklik klagtes oor die wanorde van die rekenings en mense voel uitgebuit. As ‘n

glyskaal ingestel word, moet die krag korrek gelees word en moet die eenhede nie in ‘n hoër skaal val weens die munisipaliteit se nalatigheid nie. Daar is ook wederregtelik geen tarief vir voorafbetaalde huishoudelike

krag aangekondig nie. Ons ver-wag dat die munisipaliteit aan spesifi eke klagtes moet aandag gee, anders voorsien ons dat die ouditeur-generaal se hulp ingeroep sal moet word,” sê Gilfi llan.

Wat sê die Makhado Munisipaliteit van die probleme met die kragrekenings? Dinsdag het die munisipale bestuurder, mnr. Sakkie Mut-shinyali, gesê dat:

• “Die verhoogde tariewe glad nie terugwerkend gehef mag word nie.”

• Die lesings maandeliks geneem moet word en op die rekening verskyn. Mnr Mutshinyali het ‘n vergadering met die eienaar van die meterle-singagentskap versoek. “Ek soek antwoorde van hulle. Ek kan nie mense betaal en hulle stelsel werk nie reg nie; dan moet ek eerder oorweeg om hul kontrak te beëindig,” het Mutshinyali gesê.

• “Ek het vir die eienaar gesê dat ek nie so iets nou nodig het nie, veral nie noudat ek die verhou-ding tussen die inwoners en die munisipaliteit glad-der wil laat verloop nie (I am oiling the relationship between the residents and the municipality)”.

• “Ek wag vir ‘n verslag van my kollegas en die antwoorde van die agentskap. Daarna sal ek die

Wat sê die Raad oor die buitensporige rekeninge?

nodigheid ondersoek dat die Raad ‘n resolusie oor die aangeleentheid moet neem.”

• “Die probleme is ‘n feit. Ek vra om verskoning vir die ongerief.”

• Wat die gereelde ‘adjustments’ van ongeveer R200 op rekenings betref, sê mnr. Mutshinyali: “Ek sal mnr. Radzilani vra om ‘n mediaverklaring

daaroor voor te berei.” • “Ek doen ‘n beroep

op inwoners om voor-beelde van spesifieke rekeninge met probleme aan my te e-pos”. Die e-posadres is [email protected] en dit sal goed wees om ‘n kort verduideliking in

Engels by te voeg. Intussen vra die Soutpansberg Belastingbetal-

ersvereniging ook dat belastingbetalers met tarieweklagtes spesifi eke gevalle onder hul aandag sal bring deur Phillip Olivier te skakel by 082 679 8324 of dit op hulle Facebook-bladsy te plaas, sodat spesifi eke gevalle onder die munisipaliteit se aandag gebring kan word.


Hoë rekeninge jaag die bloeddruk op‘n Motorongeluk op die Levu-bu-pad het die afgelope Sater-dag die lewe geëis van ‘n jong inwoner van die streek.

Die 18-jarige At Brits was op pad vanaf Makhado (Louis Trichardt) na sy ouers wat in Le vu bu bly, toe die ongeluk omstreeks 06:00 plaasgevind het. Die bakkie waarmee hy gery het, van die pad af, en het bo-oor die

bruggie in die pad getrek. Hy is opslag dood.

So ver dit bekend is, was daar geen ander voertuie in die voorval betrokke nie. ‘n Fam-ilievriend, Pieter Schlesinger, het Maandag gesê die polisie ondersoek nog die voorval om te bepaal wat aanleiding tot die ongeluk gegee het.

At, het hy gesê, het sowat twee

jaar terug saam met sy familie na Levubu verhuis. Hy was ten tye van sy afsterwe vir hulle werksaam.

‘n Begrafnisdiens is Donder-dag, 11:00 vanuit die Agapé Kerk op Makhado (Louis Trichardt) vir wyle At gehou.

Wyle At word oorleef deur sy pa, At snr., sy ma Adéle en sy broer Danie.

‘n Vernietigende veldbrand het verlede Donderdag die Manavhela Ben Lavin Natuurreservaat so te sê in puin gelê.

Die brand, het die reservaat se bestuurder, mnr. Lourens Muller, gesê, het op die oostelike grens uit-gebreek. Aanvanklik het die brand ontstaan op ‘n buurplaas, maar teen die tyd wat Muller en sy werkers die rookwolke opgemerk het, was dit al middagete gewees. Die vlamme is toe alreeds deur ‘n sterk wind in Ben Lavin ingewaai en die oostelike grens was reeds in ligte laaie gewees toe Muller gaan ondersoek stel het.

Die wind het vir kort rukkies be daar, wat Muller se span kans gegee het om die brand onder be-heer te kry, sodat dit nie die hoofkamp kon bereik nie. Dit was amper ‘n onbegonne taak, maar danksy die hulp van die streek se inwoners wat kom hand gee het, sê Muller, is die reservaat gered.

Die oorspronklike Ben Lavin huis op die reservaat is ongelukkig tydens die brand in puin gelê. Verder was die reservaat vir twee dae sonder enige elektrisiteit en het feitlik al die waterpype gesmelt. Muller sê dit wil voorkom of daar nie enige grootwild is wat gesneuwel het nie.

In die harwar het die plaaslike brandweer hulle toe ook nog boonop in wilde gediertes vasgeloop. Vrywil-ligers wat gaan uithelp het, het vertel

dat ‘n slang in die bos die brandweer asvaal van die skrik, onverrigte sake laat omdraai het.

Ten spyte hiervan het die Makhado Brandweer tog teruggekeer om te gaan help op die reservaat, het mnr. Jack Ramalatso (stasiehoof) Dinsdag gesê.

Die brand het tot Vrydag gewoed, en groot dele van die reservaat, tot by die westelike grens, is afgebrand. Eers teen Maandag is die laaste smeulende kole geblus en kon gesmelte water-pype en kragdrade herstel word.

Muller het gesê dat die skade geluk-kig nie so erg was nie, danksy almal

wat kom help het. “Ons sal darem ook nie hoef by-voeding vir die diere te gee nie. Daar is nog dele wat ongeskonde is waarop hulle kan wei tot die eerste

reëns kom,” het hy gesê.Muller en die bestuur van die res-

ervaat het ‘n besonderse woord van dank gehad vir al die lede van die Soutpansberg dorps- en plaaswag, personeel van die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal en lidmate van die NG Kerk Soutpansberg gemeente en jeug vir hulle hulp en bystand. Hy het ook die amptenare van die Makhado Brandweerstasie, vriende en besorgde inwoners bedank.

“Julle energie, tyd en toerusting was onmisbaar in die stryd teen die weghol veldbrand in die reservaat.”

Van der Waals verruil Bosveld vir SuidlandNá 27 jaar in die Soutpansberg-omgewing ver-huis Ben en Willie van der Waal na die Suidland.

Ben was betrokke by die Universiteit van Ven-da as professor in die biologiese wetenskappe, met vissery as spesialiteitsgebied. Hy was ‘n ge-waardeerde gemeenskapslid wat altyd uit die vuis uit ‘n wetenskaplike opinie oor omgewingsake aan die media kon gee. Sy vriendelike vroutjie, Willie, was altyd doenig met vroeë kinderontwikkeling en die opleiding van kleuterskoolonderwysers. Hulle het op die plot, Van der Waal se Kraal, op die Vondelingpad naby die stortingsterrein gewoon. Die Van der Waals se korrespondensie met die munisipaliteit oor die asgate het ‘n hoop lêers volgemaak! Skynbaar is hulle nuwe woning baie ver van enige vullishope af! Hulle “trek” het op 8 Oktober plaasgevind.

“Ons het goeie herinneringe aan die tyd waarin ons in hierdie mooi omgewing by die unieke Sout-pansberg gewoon het! Ons kon ons vyf kinders grootmaak in Van der Waal se Kraal met baie plaas- en buitelugondervindings en altyd ‘n oor-vloed aan vars vrugte,” sê die Van der Waals. Hul

kinders woon verspreid oor die land en Namibië en is meestal betrokke by omgewingsontwikkeling en het dit ook hul studieveld gemaak.

“Dit was aangenaam om deel te neem aan ge-meenskapsaksies, soos die groen gordel deur die dorp, water- en besoedelingskwessies, die Vhembe Biosfeerreservaat en mynvoorstelle,” sê dr. Van der Waal.

Die Van der Waals het hulle geestelike tuiste by die Gereformeerde Kerk Louis Trichardt gevind en het groot waardering vir hul gemeente.

“Aan al ons oud-kollegas, voëltjie- en boom-vriende en gewone vriende: baie dankie vir jul almal se liefde en vriendskap. Ons gaan nou in Sedgefield vestig (tussen Knysna en George) en die baie water, see en woude geniet, maar ons sal jul nie vergeet nie – en ons hoop om geleenthede te vind om in die winter bosveld toe te kom en ons vriende wat ons moet agterlaat, te kom besoek. Ons wens julle vrede toe en die beste, veral met betrekking tot omgewingsake. Aan God al die eer vir ‘n baie geseënde tyd in Louis Trichardt,” sê die Van der Waals.

Ná 27 jaar groet Ben en Willie van der Waal die Soutpansbergers en verhuis na Sedgefield in die Kaap. Foto verskaf.

Dié plaaslike kunstenaars met ‘n prettige “remix” van die Grafsteensangers het verlede Vry-dagaand tydens die jeugkonsert van die Louis Trichardt NG gemeente in die Ferdi Beyerssaal opgetree. Die aanbieding het groot byval gevind en oud en jonk in die gehoor laat skater.

This Thursday, Makhado (Louis Trichardt) will be part of national stage marches and gatherings that will voice con-cern over farm murders.

On that day, the protest group named Red October will be one of several international demon-strations that will release red balloons across South Africa and cities in New Zealand, Australia and the USA to demand the pro-tection of white South Africans’ ethnic minority rights enshrined in the Constitution.

Such a march will be hosted by the Friends of Red October group in Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

Interested people are invited to join the protest that will be gathering at the Rugby Lapa from 10:00.

“We call on people all over the world to release red balloons into the skies, in protest against the inhumane slaughter and oppres-sion of the white people of South Africa,” reads a press release on the Red October group’s website. “No longer will we be silent about the oppression of the white South African ethnic minority. No longer will we silently en-dure the killing of our people on our farms, and in our towns and cities,” the group further states.

The group will also protest the “destruction of public in-frastructure, filthy government hospitals and the state of the environment”. The group also wants to be in charge of its own education system and wants the South African government to provide a safe environment for all – among other demands in its constitution.

In Makhado (Louis Trichardt) people can buy balloons on the day, which will be released at 13:30. The organisers of the event, Joppie and Robert, can be contacted at 076 378 4523 or 083 518 5660 for more information.

Notice

March to place focus on farm murders

The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Limpopo is fed-up with the province’s continuous water crisis and has now turned to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) for help.

This dramatic step was taken by the DA, fol-lowing a memorandum of complaint that they handed in at the Limpopo office of the premier on 19 August. The memorandum contained demands about water supply across the province. According to the DA, premier Stanley Mathabatha’s office was mute. “This leaves us no option. We will today escalate this battle on behalf of the communities of our province by handing the water dossier to the

SAHRC,” said the DA’s provincial leader, Jacques Smalle, on Tuesday.

According to Smalle, the dossier that they com-piled contains shocking images from the province’s five districts of people who still have to share water sources with animals. In some of the rural areas, Smalle said, up to 10 000 people have to share three communal taps. “This is a violation of our people’s most basic human rights,” he said.

Another concern to Smalle and the DA is that municipalities fail to spend infrastructure grants and this contributes to the dilapidation of water infrastructure. The dossier that was handed over to the SAHRC for investigation will be reinforced by daily picketing that the DA will undertake at the office of the premier.

Ná berigte van nog voorvalle van hondsdolheid en katgriep in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) die afgelope paar weke het die plaaslike Dierebe-skermingsvereniging (DBV) ‘n beroep gedoen op troeteldiereienaars om seker te maak hul diere is ingeënt.

“Onthou, daar is geen omdraaikans as jou hond of kat dit eers het nie. Hondsdolheid maak dood,” waarsku mev. Bea Reimer van die DBV.

Reimer sê dat die staatsveearts jaarliks verpligte hondsdolheid inentings doen. Die inentings word deur die Staat verskaf en is derhalwe verniet. Persone word versoek om die kantore van die staatsveearts te skakel by 015 516 4971 vir meer inligting.

Reimer sê diere-eienaars moet ook daarvan kennis neem dat alle honde en katte jaarliks deur ‘n veearts met ‘n 5-in-1 inenting vir honde en 4-in-1 inenting vir katte ingeënt moet word. Dit is ook goed om diere gereeld te ontwurm. “U sal ‘n boekie ontvang van die veearts as bewys dat u diere geënt is.”

The Agapé African choir has received an invitation from the largest church in the world, the Yoido Full Gospel Church in South Korea, to sing there in 2015. “That would be one of the stops of a proposed tour, which would be an awesome opportunity,” said choir leader Pastor Grant Clifton this week.

The moment that Dr Kim Sung Hae Cho, the spouse of Dr Yonggi Cho, founder of the million-member church in Seoul, gave the invitation, tears flowed. Dr Kim was one of the main speakers at the International Pastors and Leaders Confer-ence (IPLC) hosted at the Glory Christian Centre (GCC) in Kota Kinabalu (KK) in East Malaysia, situated on the island of Borneo. Two years ago, Dr William Vun of GCC challenged Pastor Sam

van Niekerk of the Agapé Chris-tian Centre in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) to bring the African sound in worship to Eastern Asia. Pastors Grant and Bernice Clifton of Agapé, both gifted musicians, rose to the challenge and arrived at the conference on 24 September this year with a 28-member choir.

The Borneo Post reported on the choir on 3 October: “The multi-ethnic Agapé Choir from South Africa, with their unique sound and rhythm and colourful costumes, enriched the sessions …” The Borneo Post also men-tioned that over 700 delegates and thousands of local Christians and pre-believers from nine countries took part in the four-day ILPC. There were delegates from South Africa, Australia, Bangladesh, Philippines, India,

Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia.

“At the conference, the choir had the opportunity to perform several times and do a wide array of items, which all went very well. We had a very exciting and impacting time,” said Pastor Grant. They added a portion of Shakira’s Waka Waka to their praise song Wena Mkululi (Lord, You are my freedom). The con-ferees absolutely loved it and they had to repeat the song over and over. Bernice’s crystal clear Pie Jesu”was also encored.

The theme of the conference was Holy Spirit in His Church. Dr Kim, who is over 70 years old, prayed personally for each delegate who wanted prayer. Her church is well known for its Prayer Mountain and their strong intercessory prayers. Dr Vun

The whole group of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) consisted of 50 people, some of whom had the opportunity to visit the scenic Tioman Island in West Malaysia and Manukan Island in East Malaysia.

Crime news

The collective impact of the proposed coal mining activities in the Greater Soutpansberg needs to be assessed and taken into account, is the cry arising to protect the environment and agriculture for future generations.

Interested and affected parties (IAPs) cannot fully assess the collective impact of the proposed mining activities in the Greater Soutpansberg and Limpopo without, at least, a regional strategic environmental impact assessment (RSEIA). This is the opinion of the Vhembe Mineral Resources Stakeholders Forum (VMRSF) through their attor-ney, Mr Christo Rheeders.

Australian mining company Coal of Africa Limited (CoAL) requested a meeting with the VMRS forum. On 28 August, CoAL spokesper-son James Duncan said that CoAL was aware of the forum and “will engage with the forum, as with all interested and affected stakeholders, in a transparent and collaborative manner within the regulated processes”. The new forum prioritizes the environment and agriculture, so as to protect these for generations to come.

“The profit of coal mining in the short term should be weighed against the impact of coal mining on the environment over the long term. It seems that mineral and water use licenses are issued with no regard for the full impact of mining on the environment. Is this what we want for our children?” says an expert of Bench Marks Foun-dation, measuring principles for global corporate responsibility, Mr David van Wyk.

Following acquisition, CoAL reorganized the Mbeu Yashu (Greater Soutpansberg) project, com-prising nine areas, into three regions. These are the Chapudi region (comprising the Chapudi, Chapudi West and Wildebeesthoek area), the Makhado region (comprising the Makhado Project and the Telema and Gray combined – formerly referred to as the Makhado extension- and the Mount Stuart

and Generaal area) and the Mopane region (com-prising the Voorburg and Jutland area).

The total prospecting-rights area of the Chapudi region covers nearly 40 800 hectares. The total Makhado region covers just over 32 900 hectares, of which the Makhado Project is 8 190 hectares. The Mopane Region was further consolidated with various additional NOPRs within the Voorburg and Jutland area. The total consolidated area covers 26 000 hectares, of which 11 500 hectares lie to the north on Voorburg and 14 500 lie to the south on Jutland.

The Jutland Project affects the farm Sitapo of the Van Zyls of ZZ2, well-known for their tomato production. ZZ2 (Pty) Ltd is the largest privately owned producer of tomatoes in the world and sup-plies 40% of South Africa’s tomatoes.

“With Mr Philé van Zyl of ZZ2 coming on board in the umbrella organization, VMRS forum, we want to stress the importance of Limpopo as the bread and fruit basket of South Africa, now threatened by coal mining. Remember that more than 45% of the R2 billion annual turnover of the Johannesburg Fresh Produce Market comes from agricultural industry within Limpopo. The province produces about 75% of South Africa’s mangoes, 65% of its papayas, 36% of its tea, 25% of its citrus, bananas, and litchis, 60% of its avocados, 60% of its tomatoes, 285 000 tons of potatoes, and 35% of its oranges,” said Mr Wally Schultz, chairperson of SOLVe (Save Our beautiful Limpopo Valley) and one of the office bearers of the VMRS forum.

CoAL’s new CEO, Mr David Brown, described the Mbeu Yashu Project as the catalyst for the long-term growth of the company.

“The Department of Mineral Resources has ac-cepted the Company’s NOMR applications for the Mopane, Generaal and Chapudi projects … Further exploration on these areas is expected to occur in 2014,” Brown said.

The collective impact of the proposed coal mining activities in the Greater Soutpansberg needs to be assessed and taken into account, is the cry arising to protect the environment and agriculture for future generations. Pictured are some of the future coal mines in the Greater Souptansberg, planned by Coal of Africa Limited.

Call to assess collective impact of coal mines

Alan Odendaal (middle) and his wife Karen (left) were inducted as the Louis Trichardt Rotary Club’s newest members. The induction was done by local club president Leon Barnardt on Monday, 30 September, at a dinner at the Mountain Inn Hotel. Photo supplied.

The Limpopo province is looking for a solution to clamp down on the trade in illegal cigarettes.

This was the mission of an anti-illicit trade summit that was held in Polokwane last Thursday, 3 October. “If we don’t do something fast enough, we stand to regret [it] sooner rather than later,” said the Limpopo premier, Stanley Mathabatha, during the opening of the summit. The summit was also attened by the Tobacco Institute of Southern Africa (Tisa), The Directorate for Priority Crime Inves-tigation (Hawks) and the University of Limpopo.

The Hawks hosted the summit in order to pri-oritise the investigation of cigarette smuggling.

Mathabatha identified Limpopo’s borders with

Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique as the critical strategic buffers when it came to the illicit trading and smuggling. According to provincial police spokesperson Brig Hang-wani Mulaudzi, Mathabatha was referring to Health Minister Arron Motsoaledi’s signing of an anti-smuggling protocol which aimed to eliminate tobacco syndicates, and to track and trace such products from their manufactures to their destinations.

Mathabatha said more than 50% of all illegal cigarettes are smuggled into South Africa from Zimbabwe. “There is a serious need of working together with the various law enforcement agen-cies of those countries. The same way in which we are waging war against rhino poaching, we should do with cigarette smuggling,” he said.

Mathabatha said the government was commit-ted to offering their support to stop this illicit trade. Tisa echoed the premier’s statements. Tisa said that, according to the National Council Against Smoking, there would be fewer cheap products for children and adults to smoke if smuggling were curbed.

Mulaudzi said that the summit was the culmi-nation of the on-going collaboration between the tobacco industry and law-enforcement agencies to curb the scourge of illicit cigarettes that flood the South African market.

As the effect of the illicit trade of cigarettes was discussed during the two-day long summit, it concluded with General Molatjana, Deputy Provincial Commissioner DPCI: Limpopo and National DPCI Cigarette Champion, accepting and taking ownership of implementing the outcomes with the backing of all who were involved in developing the strategy into work-able plans.

Celebrating

20years!

Realty 1 Louis Trichardt congratulated Mrs Tshamano Edith Ramalamula on her dedicated service to the franchise. Edith has been employed by Realty 1 Louis Trichardt since it opened its doors in 1993. “We would like to thank her for loyalty, reliability and friendliness. Edith has served four different dealer principals, as well as numerous agents over the years and always continues to serve delicious coffees and teas with a smile,” said principal Gwen Loots. Pictured from left to right are Gwen, Edith and Alex Jandrell, also from Realty 1 Louis Trichardt.

The Realty 1 team can be described as dynamic and vibrant.

Principal Gwen Loots leads by example and her experience and knowledge of 12 years is invaluable to the company. She has earned numerous awards for Realty - both personally and as a franchise. The most prestigious of these are the Ambassador of the Year (2004) and Top Country Agent for 2006 and 2007.

In 2013, Gwen made some very interesting appointments, and the team now boasts of an exciting diversity. Graceful Altie Pretorius is the agent who spe-cializes in listings. Adri Taylor has an eye for the full potential of each property - since she is an enthusiastic interior decorator - and was Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2007 in Musina. Lizet Joubert has made the transition from commercial pilot to estate

agent quite effortlessly and ex-cels in her work.

Realty 1 Louis Trichardt has a rental department, where Josh Jandrell is attending to owners’ and tenants’ needs and concerns.

The whole team relies on the wonderful efficiency of Margaret van Zyl and Elizmari Bell, whose admin and computer skills keep the heart of the business beating. Their friendly demeanour makes everybody feel welcome.

The Realty 1 IPG head office expressed its heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Realty1 Louis Trichardt for having been an exemplary member of the brand for the past 20 years.

“Realty 1 has proudly serviced South African property owners for more than 50 years, and this is only possible with business owners who live our dedication to our customers on a daily basis,” said Hano Jacobs, Realty 1 IPG’s chief operating officer.

Jacobs congratulated Gwen Loots and Alex Jan-drell of Realty 1 Louis Trichardt for maintaining such high levels of service, dedication and commit-ment over two decades in the ever-evolving prop-erty industry. “When considering the heights the Louis Trichardt business has achieved, it is hugely commendable that you have retained your humility and unfloundering work ethics,” said Jacobs.

Despite being one of the smallest franchises by geographical area, Realty 1 Louis Trichardt has consistently been placed in the Top 10 achiev-ers during the group’s annual national awards,

frequently outperforming much larger franchises and businesses. “Your ability to service the entire scope of the property industry makes you true industry leaders and a wonderful example and inspiring role model to new entrants into the industry. Thank you for your continued dedication to self-development and education in this rapidly changing environment, your ability to embrace the evolution that technology brought, your investment in the elevated standards as required by law, and your compliance and adherence in acquiring the highest levels of education required by our gov-erning body,” said Jacobs.

Realty1 Louis Trichardt has an impeccable track record of satisfied customers, testifying to the fact that buying and selling a home is much more than a business deal to Gwen and her team. “You truly personify our company slogan ‘Sure we sell prop-erty, but people is our Business’. It is with great pride that Realty 1 IPG head office congratulates you on your 20-year anniversary. Well done, Realty 1 Louis Trichardt!” said Jacobs.

Laerskool Messina het einde September behoor-lik feesgevier met die herdenking van die skool se 100-jarige bestaan.

Die gees in hierdie grensdorp het behoorlik hoog geloop in die aanloop tot en ten tye van die eeufeesvieringe.

Die feesvieringe is vanaf 17 tot 19 September afgeskop met revue-optredes by die skool waar-tydens daar bietjie teruggeloop is in tyd. “We are the World” is opgevoer deur die hele skool en het die gehoor letterlik in trane gehad in ‘n stadium. Die algemene mening was dat hierdie revue-optrede die beste in die skool se bestaan was.

Die laaste dag van die eeufeesvieringe op 20 September was beslis een van die hoogtepunte. Dit het begin met die verwelkoming van belangrike eregaste. Selfs die skool se eerste leerling, oom

Boetie Visser, het kom kuier.Ná `n boomplantseremonie is die leerders per

bus na die ABSA-gebou vervoer vir die groot optog deur die dorp se strate. Die hitte kon nie die leerlinge en onderwysers se geesdrif demp nie en hulle het al singend, onder luide toejuiging van omstanders en begeleiding van die verkeersafdel-ing, die strate af marsjeer tot weer by die skool. Hier het ‘n lekker soetigheid die kinders ingewag.

Die skool het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor al die persone en instansies wat bygedra het tot die sukses van die skool se eeufeesvieringe. ‘n Spesiale woord van dank gaan egter aan me. Lientjie Whelan, wie verantwoordelik was vir van die reëlings.

“Baie dankie aan elke betrokke party, ouer, leerder en onderwyser. Die week was `n groot sukses en sal vir lank onthou word!” sê die skool.

As deel van hul eeufeesvieringe het Laerskool Messina inwo-ners vanaf 17 tot 19 September op luisteryke wyse vermaak met hul revue-optrede Bosveld Boquet.

Die skool se leerlinge het almal die voorreg gehad om te deel in hierdie unieke optrede wat deur

talle as die beste revue-optrede nog van die skool beskryf is. Die projek is met groot ywer en entoesiasme aangepak.

Dié “Bosveld-storie” het die gehoor teruggeneem na 1976 met die Van der Merwe-gesin wat met groot opgewondenheid gekyk het na die eerste uitsending

van Suid-Afrikaanse televisie. Die gehoor het saam met hulle gedeel in stories soos Haas Das, Postman Pat, Heidi en Pinno-chio. Daar is self piekniek gehou saam met die Teddiebere! Natu-urlik is die eerste rugbywedstryd ook op televisie uitgesaai en dít het Kleinjan en sy maatjie, Sipho,

baie geniet. Die twee seuns het grootgeword en elk ook televisie-sterre geword. Saam met hulle is daar gedeel in ‘n wye verskeid-enheid liedjies tydens hulle nuwe interaktiewe musiekprogram, Music Mosaic. “Kykers” kon versoeke instuur om video’s te speel vir hul geliefdes.

“Almal sal saamstem dat van-jaar se revue ‘n groot sukses was. Die leerlinge was die sterre en ons onderwysers het hard gew-erk. Dit word opreg waardeer. Met so ‘n goeie span is enige iets moontlik,” was die boodskap van die skool.

Good food • Good career prospectsAt the Rhodes Food Group, leaders in food production and processing, we are renowned for our supply of premium brands and quality products. Our products span canned fruit and vegetables, jam and puree, ready meals, pasta, pies and a range of dairy products.

The Limpopo Plant, based outside Makhado, produces a range of canned vegetable products, and has the following vacancies:

Agricultural ManagerBy anticipating needs, optimally utilising forecasts and working closely with farmers, you’ll be able to ensure the timeous delivery of all raw materials. You’ll need a diploma or degree in an agricultural field, plus knowledge of Euro and global gap requirements to be successful. The role involves working under pressure to deadlines and independently, as well as some degree of improvisation to optimally handle seasonal raw materials and crops. Computer literacy to draft plant and harvest schedules is essential.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

God wat vergeet - Lukas 2:36-50

Weet jy dat God ‘n dagboek hou van jou lewe op aarde? In die dagboek is

alles opgeteken wat jy gedoen en gesê het, selfs elke gedagte wat jy gedink het. Dit kan vir sommige mense iets skrikwekkend wees. Openbaring 20:12 sê: “Ek het die dooies, groot en klein, voor die troon sien staan, en die boeke is oopgemaak. Daar is ook ‘n ander boek oopgemaak, die boek van die lewe. Die dooies is toe geoordeel volgens wat daar in die boeke geskrywe staan oor alles wat hulle gedoen het.”

Hoe sal jy voel wanneer Jesus, die groot Regter, jou naam uitroep voor die heelal, en die boek word oopgemaak?

As jy ‘n Christen is, sal God nie jou sonde voor die wêreld openbaar maak nie. Jer. 31:34b sê: “Ek sal julle oor-tredinge vergewe en nie meer aan julle sondes dink nie.” Dit is wonderlik dat ons in hierdie opsig ‘n God dien wat vergeet. Die bloed van Jesus reinig ons van alle sonde. (1 Joh. 1:7). Die sondes van God se kinders is vergewe en God vergeet daarvan.

In vandag se Skrifgedeelte lees ons van ‘n sondige vrou wat voor Jesus ween oor haar sondes en Jesus sê vir haar in vers 48: “Jou sondes is vergewe.”Het Jesus dit al vir jou gesê? Jy kan Hom nie hoor praat nie, maar jy kan meer oor Sy liefde lees, in 1 Joh. 1:9, dat as jy jou sondes bely sal Hy jou vergewe. Net God kan dit doen, want dit is waarvoor Jesus gesterf het - 079 5168303

Brief

Dankie aan borge by Triegie gholfdag

Daar is ‘n paar dinge waaroor Daisy ‘n Ding het - die een is kosmaak. Die ander is slange.

(En mag dit nooit, ooit weer in dieselfde asem genoem word nie!)

Daisy het alreeds met die inpakslag besef dat kosvoorraad in die bos onvoorspelbaar is. Sonder ‘n ryding, sonder geld, moet daar geïm-proviseer word. Maar haar pioniersinstinkte is onblusbaar. Sy bedel hoenders by haar familie; drie sal doen. (Sy kry tien.) In die NTK sien sy ‘n dun boekie oor hoenders en hulle geite, nog ‘n boek oor groenteboerdery. Sy pak haar ele-gante swart drasak met tuingereedskap (volledig met ‘n pikante swart kussingkie waarop jy kan kniel). Ook haar wit tuinmaak Crocs en etlike pakkies saad – roket, basiliekruid, bok choi, eiervrug, soetpepers, preie en ranktamaties. Sy het vae visioene van ‘n wurmplaas om al die huishoudelike afval te verwerk in plantvoedsel.

Na ‘n week in die bos het Daisy klaar met die oog ‘n lappie grond uitgemeet vir ‘n kombuistu-in. Naby die enigste kraan, ‘n uitsig oor die riv-ier, genoeg koelte, genoeg son. Die Bosbewoner se bestaande visvangwurmbedryf beïndruk Daisy vreeslik. Sy sien haarself asemrowende geregte optower, sy sien haarself deelneem aan die ubuntu-voedselketting! Saam met kekerert-jies, lensies, bruinrys, olyfolie, suurlemoensap en vars brandrissies – sy dink Thai, sy dink Viëtnamees, sy dink Suid-Indiese kormas en Maleise bobotie ...

Maar die boekprojek hou haar besig. En Af-rikatyd vermoor en verkrag haar korporatiewe gewoontes en protokols. ‘n Baie Belangrike Persoon se besoek word telefonies gemaak vir Donderdag. Daisy nooi die man impulsief ook uit vir ete tydens die informele voorlegging

van die projek. Sy diep iets konserwatiefs en korporatief uit haar (steeds) gepakte tasse en by die weerkaatsing van ‘n stowwerige venster (die huis het haar spieël ook ingesluk!) smeer sy maskara en lipglans aan. Sy werk verwoed aan die Powerpoint voorlegging – die BBP kan enige tyd kom.

Teen donkerskemer maak Daisy bekaf avokadopeer toebroodjies vir die Bosbewoner en haarself. Die Bosbewoner troos dat die BBP more sal kom, dat die voorlegging uitstekend is, dat Daisy en die BBP dadelik sal kliek ... Buite begin die honde blaf en dadelik begin Daisy se korporatiewe adrenalien weer vloei. Sy sit solank koffiewater op.

“Daisy, DÁISY!” skree die Bosbewoner van buite af. “Bring ‘n stok! Góú!”

Daisy wil-wil haar net vererg, dis nie nou tyd vir grapppies nie. Maar iets aan die man se stem weerklink ook in die dringende blaf van die honde. Sy storm buitekant toe, reg op die man af wat met sy flits op haar lappie toekomstige groentetuin skyn.

“Bring ‘n stok!” skree hy weer. “En dan kom hou jy die flits vas sodat ek die slang se rug kan afslaan!” Daisy gryp vervaard na die besem, daar is ys in haar are en haar nekhare staan orent. “Kom, vroumens, jy moet góú maak, netnou is die ding in die huis!” In dieselfde asem gil hy: “Néé, nie die blêddie besem nie, dit val uitmekaar uit!” (Net toe kom ek dit self ook agter.) “Daar, gryp die pyp langs die muur en kom hou die flits vas!”

Sy moet binne millisekondes besluit of sy die bangste is om twee meter van die slang af die flits te kom vashou, of die gramskap van die intimiderende Bosbewoner op die hals te haal.

As ‘n nagedagte verduidelik hy dat die slang verblind word deur die flits en nie in haar rigting sal spoeg of aanval nie – Daisy het nie ‘n ander keuse as om die man te glo nie.

Verbysterend genoeg is daar geen verligting oor Daisy toe slang verbrysel lê nie. Iewers diep binne-in is daar skaamte oor haar vreeslike fobie, oor die doodmaak van ‘n Godskepping. In haar dagboek daardie aand is haar gedagtes somber, sien sy elke skaduwee naby haar bed as ‘n potensiële mfesi. Die baba gemmerkat se oë is toegeswel van ‘n skrams spoegslag en Daisy moet hard op haar lip byt om nie op te krul en te grens soos ‘n kind nie.

Die volgende oggend maak die Bosbewoner Daisy wakker met koffie in die bed. “Kom,” sê hy. “Ek weet wat ‘n vrou dadelik sal laat beter voel – kom ons gaan shop by die nuwe winkel.” Daisy draai haar kikoi om haar lyf, borsel haar tande en trek haar boetse en hoed aan vir die stappie. By die winkel koop hulle koekmeel en olie.

“Vandag,” sê Bosbewoner, “vandag bak ek vir jou pannekoek. En vergeet van kos as die BBP vandag kom – hy bring sommer altyd sy eie kos saam.”

Later sit Daisy die laaste stroperigheid van die pannekoek en aflek van haar vingers af. Sy beloer die stukkie aarde waar sy laas kruie en groente sou plant, maar sy sien net slang.

“Miskien volgende week,” dink sy “sodra die BBP hier was.” En vat nog ‘n slukkie rooibo-stee.

Daisy doen shopping en maak ‘n slang dood

In die tweede aflewering van die weeklikse rubriek oor die lewe van Daisy, begin sy nesskrop in haar nuwe tuis te, êrens naby Pafuri waar die drie lande se spore byeenkom en die grense maar skraps is. Die avontuur in die bos begin sy glans verloor, maar Daisy is vol planne om die uitdagings die hoof te bied.

Konsert raak dertig jong lewens aan

Een van my mees treffende on-langse belewenisse was die deel-

name van Tshitandani sorgsentrum se tienerseuns aan Louis Trichardt NG gemeente se jeugkonsert verlede Vry-dagaand in die Ferdie Beyerssaal. Die hele program, die hele aand was mooi, heerlike, gesellige gesinsvermaak. Die hele gemeente verdien applous.

Met die welwillende inisiatief, talent en tyd wat Nadine Smal aan 30 “vreemdelingkinders” se afrig-ting in ‘n agtergeblewe township bestee het, is waarskynlik die waar-devolste enkele bydrae tot nog toe gelewer in die volledige versorging van hierdie spesiale kinders.

Die persoonlike verrykende na-werking van dié mooi poging gaan waarskynlik nog tot baie ver in die toekoms deel wees van die pos-itiewe groei van elkeen van hulle. Gegewe die feit dat die meeste

van hulle as gestroopte, honger, eensaam, verwarde en verwaaide vreemdelinge vanuit ‘n verbrok-kel de gesinsstruktuur en sonder volwasse begeleiding desperaat die grens oorgesteek het op soek na ‘n sinvolle oorlewingskans in ‘n gro-tendeels vyandiggesinde buurland, was dit ‘n aandoenlike oomblik toe hulle aan die einde van hul opvoe-ring die aand, hand-aan-hand met hul sorgouers, in ‘n halwe sirkel oor die hele breedte van die verhoog almal saam verskyn het onder die geklank van “Family Time”.

Ek glo wanneer hulle eendag as nuttige volwassenes mekaar elders weer raakloop, gaan hul eerste reaksie dalk wees: “Wow, onthou jy nog dáárdie aand ...”

Open Letter to our readers

We ask you to please not use the Press Council

The word “boycott” should never be used without care-

ful consideration. Much like the term “press freedom”, it has different meanings to different people. A Google definition states that boycott means to “withdraw from commercial or social relations with (a country, organization, or person) as a punishment or protest.”

In a truly bizarre step, our two small newspapers have decided to appeal to readers to boycott the South African press regulation system. We ask readers not to make use of the press ombudsman’s office and not to use this body to complain about human rights abuses by big media houses. We do this because we really believe that a system of self- or co-regulation is the best way to protect freedom of speech in our democracy. If, however, the system loses its integrity, it needs to be severely criticised and people should stop using it until such time as steps have been taken to restore the trust.

Before explaining why we make this strange request, I must mention that the fault for all this does not lie with the Press Council SA (PCSA) and especially not with the people working there. The only criticism that they should get is for being too lenient and allowing the bullies in the industry to pressurize them into not protecting the integrity of the Press Code.

Let me start by explaining what press regulation entails, especially in our own (fragile) democracy. In its own words: “The Council, the Ombudsman and the Appeals Panel are an independent co-regulatory mechanism set up by the print media to provide impartial, expeditious and cost-effective adjudication to settle disputes between newspapers and mag-azines, on the one hand, and members of the public, on the other, over the editorial content of publications.

The mechanism is based on two pillars: a commitment to freedom of expression, includ-ing freedom of the press, and to excellence in journalistic practice and ethics.”

The inherent promise being made is that members of the public do not have to revert to expensive lawyers and advocates to protect their rights. These rights include the right to dignity and the right to privacy. Ordinary members of the public should never fear the press, for the press will always strive to maintain the highest ethical standards. If not, they will be held accountable …

Well, unfortunately this is not the truth. The scoun-drels in the industry succeed in manipulating the process and literally get away with (character) murder. Not that South Africa is unique in this respect. Abuses by big media players have led to inquiries in both the United Kingdom and Australia over the past couple of years. In both countries the issue of press regulation came under scrutiny and in the UK the system is in the process of being dramatically reformed.

Many a reader may be asking by this time, why the change of heart? Why now attack a system that we helped to shape? Well, it’s because we were forced to see things from a different angle, namely that of someone who was involved in a complaint about the abuses of a big media player. In this specific case the media player was one of Media 24’s gutter press publications, Sondag.

The first anomaly with regards to the PCSA process is that if you complain about the conduct of a big media player such as Media 24, you do not deal with their editors (as the procedure states you should). You deal with their lawyers and these are people extremely ex-perienced in fending off what they perceive as a liability. If the complaints procedure states

that the editor or in his absence the sub-editor should answer the complaint, it is interpreted that the procedure doesn’t prohibit the use of lawyers. It’s like walking unarmed into a negotiating room where the other party has a team of armed guards. Nothing in the proce-dure prohibits them from being there and doing the talking, they state, and the Press Coun-cil meekly agrees.

After the prescribed seven days during which the media player must answer, they can merely indicate that it’s not enough time. They do not sup-ply reasons, as requested by the procedure, and again the public advocate condones this.

If the complainant becomes pushy and insists that the big media player be held account-able, things turn really nasty. With few excuses left, the bully resorts to technicalities and one of these lie in Section 1.6 of the complaints procedure. This “escape clause” states that the Press Council must withdraw if a matter is pending before a court of law. Seeing that the complainant exercised his or her constitutional right and chose to have the complaint heard by the ombudsman and not in any court, this provides a bit of a dilemma. The solution is, fortunately, not too hard to find – the big media player simply gives its attorneys instructions to sue the com-plainant!

This, of course, creates an ethical dilemma for the industry, but it’s seemingly of little concern to Media 24, which is by far the biggest publisher in the country. Their actions, however, mean that the industry indulges in hypocrisy. The industry expects the public to use the system of co-regu-lation, but it’s not something they turn to when other people exercise their right to freedom of expression.

The sad part is that the Press Council looked the other way

and allowed their biggest partner to urinate on the Press Code. As the ombudsman stated, his hands are tied.

A request to the Chair of the Appeals Committee to force Media 24 to be held account-able was turned down after two months. The appeal was unsuccessful because it was not clear to the judge who the complainant in the case was.

A former press ombuds-man, Mr Joe Thloloe, once remarked: “This system is not about bureaucracy – it is about ‘excellence in journalistic practice and ethics’.” (Berger, 2009). If only this wisdom could have been present today.

The sad reality is that actions such as these strengthen the call by some politicians to have the industry regulated by government. The resolutions taken in 2007 at the Polokwane conference still haunts the industry, especially the threat of setting up a Media Appeals Tribunal (MAT) with statutory powers. At that stage, a number of “experts” ridiculed the ANC’s point of view and made it out to be a way to stifle any criticism. Perhaps it was, but perhaps not.

In Australia, an independent media inquiry was launched in September 2011, which was headed by Judge Raymond Finkelstein. It examined the Australian media industry’s regulatory framework and re-ported back to the government in February 2012. The issues highlighted, which are just as relevant to our own industry, are that the press:

* wielded enormous power for its own ends

* was subservient to big business and put commercial interest ahead of editorial policy

* resisted social change* paid more attention to the

sensational than the significant* had become a danger to

public morals* had unjustifiably invaded

peoples privacy

The Leveson inquiry in the United Kingdom came to simi-lar conclusions. The following

is an extract from the summary of the report that was published earlier this year:

“The evidence placed before the Inquiry has demonstrated, beyond any doubt, that there have been far too many occa-sions over the last decade and more (itself said to have been better than previous decades) when these responsibilities, on which the public so heavily rely, have simply been ignored. There have been too many times when, chasing the story, parts of the press have acted as if its own code, which it wrote, simply did not exist. This has caused real hardship and, on occasion, wreaked havoc with the lives of innocent people whose rights and liberties have been disdained. This is not just the famous but ordinary members of the public, caught up in events (many of them, truly tragic) far larger than they could cope with but made much, much worse by press be-haviour that, at times, can only be described as outrageous.”

It is extremely sad that one has to say that the same is happening in South Africa. Certain members of the press (very few) are considering themselves to be bigger than the Press Code. The Press Council does not hold them accountable. Even if these are isolated cases, it makes very little difference. If these unscrupulous cowards (because the culprits are nothing less than cowards) get away with a single human rights abuse, it should be unacceptable. Even worse is that these cowards sit in their Johannesburg and Cape Town offices and prey upon or-dinary citizens. They are afraid of the rich, the ones who can afford expensive lawyers to try and hit back. They try to make entertaining caricatures of or-dinary people, and when these people complain, they hide behind claims of freedom of expression. Newspapers such as our own that function in small communities have to face the consequences of abuses by big media. By their reckless behaviour they create a sense of revulsion among ordinary

people, to such an extent that journalists are feared by read-ers and ostracised. This, again, is not limited to our country.

The Leveson inquiry made some interesting remarks about the regional press: “Although accuracy and similar com-plaints are made against local newspapers, the criticisms of culture, practices and ethics of the press that have been raised in this Inquiry do not affect them: on the contrary, they have been much praised.”

Our call to people to boycott the current press regulatory system is a very small gesture to voice our contempt for what these industry bullies are doing. It will make little differ-ence to the big media players, because we are so small that our publications don’t even register on their radar, but we believe it is the right thing to do.

At the same time, we fully respect every reader’s choice in this regard. Should a reader be upset about something that we publish, they should feel free to use whatever mechanism they feel is proper. Should a complainant opt for the Press Council, we will abide by that and do our utmost to resolve it via this route. We do, however, appeal to readers to not use this mechanism and rather contact us directly. We promise to go out of our way to listen to any complaints and act in an ethical manner.

Finally, we are working hard behind the scenes to pressurize the regulatory body to restruc-ture again, with more measures put in place to stop big media from getting away with such abuses. We cannot allow the regulatory body to be (to use British Labour leader Ed Mili-band’s expression) “a toothless poodle”.

Yani Steyn het ‘n silwer medalje op die brug verwerf asook ‘n algehele sesdeplek.Yani het deel-geneem aan Vlak 4 in die ouderdomsgroep 13 jaar en jonger. Iné du Plessis het twee brons medaljes vir vloer en brug vir Vlak 4 (14 jaar en jonger) verower en algeheel sewende gekom. Delicia du Plessis bring ‘n brons medalje vir balk vir Vlak 4 (18 jaar en jonger) huis toe en het algeheel sesde geëindig. Yani en Iné het albei ‘n gemiddelde punt van 9.15 uit 10 op die brug behaal. Delicia het vir ‘n ruk opgehou met gimnastiek en is bly dat sy weer begin het en goed gevaar het by die SA’s. Daar het 480 meisies aan die SA spele deelgeneem.

“Hierdie jaar se gimnastiek was van ‘n hoog-staande gehalte. Ons het lanlaas so ‘n standard gimnnastiek gesien,” sê me. Elzabé Stewart van die plaaslike gimnastiekklub. Sy het ook as beoor-delaar by die spele, wat vanaf 23 tot 25 September by die Matsportsentrum in Eldoraigne in Pretoria aangebied is, opgetree.

“Die top gimnaste het so na aan mekaar gelê dat daar soms net ‘n 0.21 verskil in gemiddeld tussen die goue medaljewenner en die sesdeplek was,” sê me. Riekie Steyn van die klub. Stewart en Steyn was die enigste twee beoordelaars vanaf Limpopo by die SA spele.

Nog ‘n gimnas van die klub, Elouise Spies, het onder die top 20 geëindig, met ‘n twaalfdeplek vir Vlak 6 (18 jaar en jonger). Ander gimnaste van die klub wat ook aan die SA’s deelgeneem het, is vier Vlak 4 gimnaste, Dominique Nel, Mieke Laubser, Cara Joubert en Lilani Pretorius. Verder was daar twee Vlak 5 gimnaste, Riëtte Fisser en Innes Steyn.

Me. Steyn sê dat beoordelaars vir haar gesê het dat hulle nie weet hoe die Louis Trichardt Gimna-stiekklub dit regkry om sulke gimnaste op te lewer met drie tot vier ure oefening per week nie.

“Ons kinders is all-rounders wat aan alles deel-neem en kan eintlik nie veel meer as drie ure per week aan gimnastiek spandeer nie. In Gauteng en die Boland oefen hulle minimum ses tot agt ure per week,” sê Steyn.

Delicia du Plessis bring ‘n brons medalje vir balk vir Vlak vier (18 jaar en jonger) huis toe en het algeheel sesde geëindig. Hier is Delicia op die balk, die apparaat waarin sy so goed vaar.

Catrien Dekker, hoofmeisie van Laerskool Louis Trichardt, het vir Limpopo deelgeneem aan die nasionale perderuiterkampioenskappe van SANESA (South African National Equestrian Schools Association) vanaf 21 tot 24 September by Kyalami. Catrien het onderskeidelik 12de en 16de in die twee dresseerklasse geëindig. In beide items het sy die beste gevaar van die Limpopo-ruiters.

Die uiters moordende Isuzu 3 Tow-ers bergfi etsuitdaging is die afgelope naweek vanaf 4 tot 6 Oktober weereens buite Nelspruit beslis.

Hierdie wedren dwing respek af by alle bergfi etsryers regdeur die land en word bestempel as die beste, maar ook die mees uitdagende, wedren ten opsigte van tegniese en moeilikheidsgraad. Daar is twee afdelings waarin deelgeneem kan word, naamlik die Stage Race oor drie dae, of die Challenge oor drie dae. Tydens die

Stage Race word daar op dag een 75km gery, dag twee 78km en dag drie 55km. In die Challenge ry fi etsryers die eerste twee dae elk 50km en die derde dag 55km. Die verskil is dat die Challenge in twee-man spanverband gery word en die twee span-lede mag nooit twee minute uitmekaar ry nie, anders word hulle gediskwalifi seer.

‘n Paar bergfi etsentoesiaste van Makha-do (Louis Trichardt) het ook vanjaar kans gesien vir dié moordende wedren en uit-sonderlik goed gevaar. Almal het aan die

Challenge deelgeneem.CP van Wyk, wat vinnig besig is om sy

stempel af te druk in nasionale bergfi ets-geledere, het saam met spanmaat Liesl Lourens (‘n uitnodigingsryer van Johan-nesburg) in die gemengde-span kategorie deelgeneem. Hulle het in die klere van Team PSG Cycling uitsonderlik presteer en eindig eerste in hul afdeling oor al drie dae om ‘n algehele eersteplek te beklink in ‘n gesamentlike tyd van 07:49:30.
