Drie meter skei hulle van die dood Slegs drie meter het hulle

geskei van ‘n gewisse dood.Sakeman en vlieënier mnr.

Brink Schlesinger van Makhado het Woensdag vertel van die dramatiese frats vliegongeluk wat hy en drie passasiers verlede Vrydag omstreeks 13:00 op die kruin van ‘n hoë koppie naby Swartwater wonderbaarlik oor-leef het.

“Dit was eerder ‘n sitongeluk as vliegongeluk,” het Schlesing-er geskerts. Hy het egter geen illusies oor juis hoe gelukkig hulle was om die ongeluk te oorleef het nie.

Schlesinger het Vrydag drie tegnici van Pretoria, mnre. Leon du Plessis, Tom Venter en Pierre Tiersma, na die koppie opgevlieg om ‘n radiomas te gaan herstel.

Ná ‘n inspeksievlug het Schle-singer met sy Bell Jet Ranger III helikopter ingekom om te land. Schlesinger het geland, die helikopter gestabiliseer en was in die proses om die krag na die turbine te verminder toe ‘n skie-lik rukwind van tussen 30 en 60 kilometer per uur die helikopter se rotorlemme opgeruk het.

“Ek het gehoor hoe skuur die

helikopter se landingsslee agte-ruit op die klippe … Jy kan niks doen nie, want jy kan nie vinnig genoeg die enjin weer krag gee nie,” het Schlesinger gesê.

Die rukwind het die helikopter 180° agteroor gedruk, waarna dit omgeslaan en op die sy te lande gekom het. In die proses is die rotorlemme afgeslaan. Die wrak van die helikopter met sy vier insittendes het daarna wonderbaarlik tussen ‘n jong rotsvyboompie en ‘n rotswand ingewig, skaars drie meter vanaf ‘n sowat 100m-hoë afgrond. Was dit nie vir dié boompie en rotswand nie, is Schlesinger se-ker hy en sy passasiers sou 100m na hul dood getuimel het.

“Onmiddellik na die ongeluk het ek eers uitgevind of iemand beseer is. Dit was maar hoof-saaklik ligte kneusplekke en skrape en ek het almal beveel om die helikopter te ontruim,” het Schlesinger gesê. Sy grootste vrees in daardie stadium was ‘n moontlik brand, aangesien die helikopter se turbine steeds geloop het.

Nuwe verkooppunt vir veevoer en lusern

Expertise and quality ser-vice – that is what you will experience with Willie and Jaco Venter of UV Solutions & Maintenance in Makhado.

They do shade ports, water tanks and pressure pumps, and auto fitment.

“We guarantee satisfaction and find a solution to every problem,” the Venters say.

Their very busy auto fitment centre forms part of the business that opened in October last year and moved in April to 110 Krogh Street, opposite

the Spur. They are geared to fit all motor vehicle accessories, including nudge bars, tow bars, roll bars, tonneau covers, sidesteps, mud flaps and wiper blades.

“You just bring it along with your vehicle and we will fit anything,” says Willie.

Installations of new water tanks and pressure pumps, as well as maintenance and repairs of any problems on existing water tanks, systems and pressure pumps are done by UV Solutions & Maintenance.

Another growing part of their business is the construction of shade ports. They provide any size and colour shade port, using strong posts, either four or two.

“We use very strong materials and we come out for free quotations,” says Jaco.

Willie can be contacted on 082 375 1585 or 082 956 1463. Jaco can be contacted on 083 286 8495 or by sending an email to [email protected]

Limpopo Vet Shop and Animal Feeds het op 16 Mei in Hlangananistraat, Makhado, langs Safari Motors geopen.

Hierdie winkel is ‘n nuwe verkooppunt van die Blouberg Dierekliniek in Stubbsstraat.

“By ons nuwe veeartsenykundige winkel is ons veevoere en lusern ‘n nuwe lyn. Ons wil ‘n beter diens lewer aan ‘n breër spektrum persone. Ons fokus is op die groot boere sowel as die opkomende boere,” sê dr. Gerhard Klopper (medeeienaar).

Limpopo Vet Shop and Animal Feeds het ook ‘n perdeafdeling. Katkos en hondekos is daar verkrygbaar, soos Vet’s Choice, Hills, Lifestyle en Royal Canin. Verskillende entstowwe kan ook daar aangekoop word. Alle dierebenodigdhede is by die winkel verkrygbaar.

Drs. Klopper, Freddie Harris (eienaar) en Neil Jacobs is die veeartse wat by Blouberg Dierekliniek aangetref sal word. Daar word ook steeds verkope gedoen. By Limpopo Vet Shop and Animal Feeds is die bekende gesigte van me. Minnie Diedericks en me. Merle Kruger, wat albei voorheen in Blouberg se verkooppunt in Baobabstraat gewerk het. Minnie is reeds 19

jaar besig met veeartsenykundige verkope en Merle sewe jaar.

(Vervolg vanaf p. 1)Ná hy dit afgeskakel het en

die nodige dokumente uit die helikopter verwyder het, het hy ook na veiligheid gevlug.

Gelukkig vir die viermanskap was daar selfoonontvangs op die koppie en kon hulle Burgerlugvaart en die polisie van die ongeluk inlig. Met hulp op pad, het die tegnici ten spyte van die ongeluk steeds voortgegaan om die radiomas te herstel.

Twee voormalige polisiemanne wat verbonde was aan die SAPD op Makhado sal nou in die hof moet antwoorde verskaf op aantygings van korrupsie en diefstal.

Dié twee, Freddy Mashudu Makananise (49) en Aubrey Tabashe (30), het Maandag in die Streekhof op Makhado verskyn op klagte van motordiefstal, korrupsie en regsverydeling.

Hulle het in 2010 saam met twee ander verdagtes, Gilbert Shamano Mudau (42) en Vusi Regionald Mothibela (26), verskyn op klagte van gewapende roof en menseroof. Dié mans is daarvan verdink dat hulle op 17 April 2010 ‘n waaghalsige roof uitgevoer het by M Premjee & Son in Makhado. Na bewering sou die mans dié betrokke dag drie sekuriteitsbeamptes op die sakeperseel oorrompel en vasgebind het.

Tydens die roof het een van die verdagtes ‘n polisiebaadjie aangehad, met die ander twee wat na bewering geklee was in uniforms van die SuidAfrikaanse Nasionale Weermag (SANW). Honderde duisende rande se rekenaars is tydens die roof gebuit. Die winkelkluis is ook oopgebreek en ‘n groot bedrag kontant is daaruit gesteel.

Mudau en Tabashe is kort na die voorval in hegtenis geneem, nadat beeldmateriaal hulle na bewering in die omgewing van die misdaadtoneel geplaas het. Hulle het destyds R25 000 in borggeld betaal. Pas nadat hulle op borg vrygelaat is, is hulle op nog ‘n klag van motordiefstal, as’t ware op die hof se trappe, in hegtenis geneem.

Dit is op hierdie klag wat Makananise en Tabashe nou moet kom verduidelik. Die klag hou verband met ‘n Mazda bakkie wat Makananise na bewering by ‘n Dennis Derrick Zulu gekoop het, maar nie betaal het nie. Zulu het getuig dat hy sy geld by Makananise geëis het, waarop hy [Zulu] summier in hegtenis geneem is op ‘n klag van diefstal.

Beide mans is kort na hul hofverskyning geskors sonder betaling, hangende ‘n dissiplinêre verhoor. Hulle saak is ook verskeie kere uitgestel en later voorlopig teruggetrek sodat verder ondersoek ingestel kon word.

Voormalige polisiemanne weer in hofDit is glo vanuit hiérdie ondersoek dat die klag

van korrupsie spruit. Volgens die klagstaat wat Maandag by die hof ingedien is, het Makananise en Tabashe na bewering R6 000 van Zulu ontvang om sy dossier te laat “verdwyn”.

Makananise en Tabashe se prokureur, Desmond Mphaphuli, het Dinsdag bevestig dat hy namens sy kliënte ‘n dagvaardiging teen die Minister van Veiligheid en Sekuriteit uitgereik het. Hulle eis R2 miljoen in skadevergoeding van die minister. Mphaphuli is van mening dat die polisie sy kliënte verkeerdelik gearresteer het in 2010.

Makananise en Tabashe se saak is Maandag uitgestel tot 27 en 28 Augustus vir verhoor.

Freddy Makananise, soos hy gelyk het tydens sy vorige hofverskynings in 2010. Hy het in die Louis Trichardt Landdroshof verskyn.

2km teen die styl koppie af sukkel na die teerpad, waar ons ontmoet is,” het Schlesinger gesê.

“Ek is dankbaar om te leef, maar dit is steeds hartseer om so afskeid te neem van ‘n helikopter wat jy sedert 1983 besit. Die ironie is dat ek pas ‘n loods op my plaas gebou het waar ek die helikopter na Vrydag se vlug sou stoor,” het Schlesinger gesê. Die verder ironie, het hy gesê, is dat hy ‘n dag voor die ongeluk die helikopter se versekeringswaarde met R500 000 verminder het.

“Vrydagoggend bel hulle my en sê ‘n stormwind het meer as R50 000 se skade aan my huis op Skuitbaai in die Kaap aangerig. Kan jy glo dat wind, van die een uithoek van SuidAfrika na die ander, op een dag ook die helikopterongeluk kon veroorsaak het?”

Oor die ongeluk self het Schle singer gesê dat baie mense sekerlik sal vra waarom hy in die sterk rukwinde van Vrydag besluit het om te vlieg. “Dit is nie ‘n nuwe ding wat

ek gaan probeer het nie. Ek is opgelei daarvoor en dis heeltemal binne my en die helikopter se vermoë. Wat Vrydag gebeur het, was niks anders as ‘n fratsongeluk nie,” het Schlesinger gesê.

Van die Soutpansberg se inwoners sal onthou dat Schlesinger ook in Oktober 1987 ‘n vliegongeluk oorleef het, nadat hy met dieselfde helikopter naby Kutama neergestort het. Die helikopter is na die tyd weer herbou.

Oor die helikopter se lot na Vrydag se ongeluk het Schlesinger gesê hy dink die verseke ring sal dit hierdie keer afskryf.

Teen druktyd moes die wrak nog vanaf die koppie gehys word.

The SABC interviewed Mr Robert Khoza, chairperson of the Hlanganani Concerned Group, after the meeting where it was resolved to take the name change of Louis Trichardt to Makhado on review to court. A few of the group’s members stand with him. From left are Mr GJ Hlangwane, Mr Robert Khoza, Ms Eaglet Mayimele (treasurer) and Mr Donald Mlati.

The fight to decide what the town’s name will be in the foreseeable future is once again heading for the court rooms.

Following the second name change of the town Louis Trichardt to Makhado, the Chairpersons Association (CA) received a unanimous vote from its members to take the decision of the Minister of Arts and Culture on review to court.

At the CA meeting on June 6 in the church hall of the Soutpansberg Dutch Reformed Church, members of the large contingent of the Hlanganani Concerned Group were very vocal in their rejection of the procedures that were followed prior to the name change. Mr Donald Mlati said that, at the time, they had persuaded the Shangaans not to set alight the bus that the Makhado Municipality had used to transport people from outside to Waterval to “vote for the name change.”

Mr Robert Khoza, Hlanganani chairperson, said in an interview after the meeting that the name change had been forced down their throats.

Arts and Culture Minister Paul Mashatile was satisfied that “according to documents submitted all consultative processes were followed and all points of view that emerged during consultation and Council meetings were also reflected and submitted…” as stated by his letter of dismissal of objections dated 10 May 2012.

Both the name change and the Minister’s dismissal of the CA’s objections will be taken to court on review. Minister Mashatile gazetted the name change on 14 October last year. The CA will first take the matters on review to the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria and, if necessary, to the Appeal Court or even the Constitutional Court.

The purpose of the CA and its appointed attorneys and advocate, Adv Denny du Preez, is to have the name change set aside. In the first round of the name change from Louis Trichardt to Makhado,

the struggle started in 2003 and the name change was set aside by a panel of Appeal Court judges in 2007, whereafter the Makhado Municipality restarted the process. Part of the CA resolution states that the meeting has mandated the CA Exco to cite as respondents any applicable organ of state, including the Makhado Municipality, the Regional Geographical Names Council as well as the National Geographical Names Council.

The appointed attorneys and advocate will work on a contingency basis, and if they succeed in their case, they will recover their costs from any of the respondents against whom the court may make a decision to pay the costs.

The previous name change case cost the State approximately R500 000 in taxed costs. The members of the general meeting of the CA understood

that “if their legal team is not successful in the review application, the court may make a cost order against the CA and that they will be responsible for payment of the costs of the successful respondent as may be made by court order if applicable”. The CA’s secretary, Ms Inga Gilfillan, said that the con

stitution of the CA limited financial responsibility in such a case to R1 per member. The CA directly and indirectly represents about 90 0000 members. Gilfillan said that they already had donations pledged if necessary.

The CA Chairperson, Mr André Naudé, said that he was not surprised by the unanimous decision of the general meeting to take the matter to court on review. “People are definitely more interested this time round. We had 2 000 more signatures on our petition lists. At the meeting, the synergy between cultural groups was demonstrated,” Naudé said.

Nearly half of the attendees came from the Shangaan cultural group. Naudé said that some of the large organisations in town sent mainly their chairpersons to represent them.

Menige inwoner jubel noudat van die dorp se strate, veral dié wat baie verkeer dra, geteer en oopgestel is vir motoriste om te gebruik.

Teen Dinsdag het amptenare van die Makhado Munisipaliteit saam met mnr. Pieter Meiring van die raadgewende ingenieurs Dombo en Du Plessis die strate gaan bekyk. “Die munisipale manne het darem al weer geglimlag toe hulle sien die strate is geteer. Wat belangrik is, is dat die strate nou gebruik kan word,” het Meiring gesê. Almal was met reg bekommerd dat die strate nie betyds vir die groot Kremetart fietswedren op 9 Junie gereed sou wees nie.

Die afgelope week is ook heelwat van Polokwane Surfacing (Hillary Construction) se voer tuie opgemerk waar hulle vertroue by die publiek ingeboesem het deur vinnig en skynbaar deeglik te werk. Daar word gevra hoekom inwoners so lank wanorde in hulle strate moes verduur as sekere maatskappye wel vinnig en akkuraat kan werk en goeie projekbestuur kan toon.

Stubbsstraat, wat een van die enigste drie toegangsroetes oor die N1 is wat die oostelike en westelike gedeeltes van die dorp

verbind, was lank toegemaak. Dit het verkeersopeenhopings en baie ekstra kilometers in ompaaie vir motoriste beteken, om nie eers te praat van inwoners en sakepersone wat die josie in was omdat hulle nie toegang tot hulle persele kon verkry nie.

As antwoord op klagtes het die raadgewende ingenieurs, Dombo en Du Plessis, gesê dat hulle opdrag aan die kontrakteur, Fantique Trade, gegee het om die pad in halfwydtes klaar te maak en dus altyd ‘n laan oop te hê. Dit het egter nie gebeur nie en die straat is sommer in die geheel omgedolwe.

‘n Bron na aan die projek het inligting verskaf oor waarom die seëllaag van die pad so vinnig kon geskied. Die kontrakteur het die seëlwerk aan die groot maatskappy gesubkontrakteer, wat ook die vervaardiger is van die asfalt waarmee geteer word. Die kontrakteur moes na bewering vanaf 25 Mei laatboetes betaal. Volgens die bron het die kontrakteur ná die subkontrak waarskynlik nie veel wins gemaak op die projek nie. Die kontrakteur was nie bereid om met die media te praat nie.

Andersonstraat was nog ‘n groot kopseer, met die swaar

verkeer wanneer kinders heen en weer skooltoe vervoer moes word. Dié projek het in September verlede jaar begin en moes in Januarie vanjaar voltooi gewees het. Die Makhado Munisipaliteit het egter die kontrakteur se eerste twee betalings laat betaal.

Die bindlaag van Andersonstraat is vir ‘n tweede keer gedaan gery en die inwoners het sleg tweede gekom met die verskriklike stof. “Tot heel agter in my tuin, die heel verste van die straat af, is die plante oortrek met stof,” het mnr. Schalk Grobbelaar van Andersonstraat verlede Woensdag gesê. Ander inwoners het begin siek word van die stof. Agt maande na die aanvang van werk aan hierdie kort stukkie straat is die teerwerk uiteindelik gedoen.

Almal is verheug dat die strate gebruik kan word, maar gaan dit nou weer sloer met die skoonmaak en afronding? “Die skoonmaak kan partykeer amper ‘n groter werk wees. Ek vertrou dat die meeste werk, indien nie alles nie, teen die einde van Junie klaar sal wees,” het Meiring gesê. Hy het genoem dat daar dan werk volg in Grobler, Devenish en Presidentstraat en afronding in Waterbessie, Protea en Elandstraat.

Talle inwoners sukkel steeds om sin te maak uit die tragiese omstandighede wat drie van die Soutpansberg-streek se inwoners genoop het om hul eie lewens te neem.

Veral die afsterwe van die 54jarige me. Joey Smith het as ‘n groot skok gekom, nie net vir haar familie nie, maar ook vir die talle vriende wat sy in die dorp gehad het. Joey, wat vir lank ‘n donker stryd teen depressie gevoer het, het Sondag haar eie lewe geneem.

“Sy was ‘n pragtige en liewe mens ... dat ek só ‘n mooi mens moes verloor,” het mnr. Bennie Smith, Joey se man, Dinsdag gesê. Hy het Sondag haar liggaam in die egpaar se huis ontdek na hy teruggekom het van ‘n kerkdiens af.

Joey, wat vanaf vyfarige ouderdom op Louis Trichardt gebly het, het hier haar skoolloopbaan voltooi, waarna sy gaan studeer het. Sy het in 1992 teruggekeer en haar weer hier op die dorp kom vestig. Sy het haar man, Bennie, in 1995 ontmoet en hulle is kort daarna getroud.

Joey sal veral onthou word deur die talle leerlinge wat by haar ekstra wiskundelesse geneem het. Sy het op ‘n stadium ‘n groep van 50 kinders gehad wat sy na skool gehelp het met wiskunde. Ten tye van haar afsterwe het Joey ook deeltyds uitgehelp by ‘n kleuterskool in die dorp.

Sy word oorleef deur haar man, haar broer en suster.

‘n Roudiens sal Vrydag, 15 Junie, om 14:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Soutpansberggemeente vir Joey gehou word.

Bennie het namens Joey se familie almal bedank wat hom en die familie ondersteun het met oproepe en besoeke.

Intussen het die polisie op Makhado Maandag

bevestig dat hulle twee geregtelike doodsondersoeke geopen het, nadat nog ‘n man en vrou van die omgewing klaarblyklik hul eie lewens geneem het in twee aparte voorvalle.

In die eerste geval het die 55jarige Louis le Roux, ‘n sakeman van die dorp, homself geskiet op Sondag, 3 Junie.

Die tweede ondersoek is geopen nadat ‘n me. Chatrine de Jager (56) ook na bewering haarself geskiet het. Sy is Maandagoggend met ‘n skietwond op haar seun se plaas, sowat 30km op die N1noord, gevind. ‘n Vuurwapen is langs haar gevind.

Vreugde ná strate weer oopgestel word

Authorities are still looking for three of the five suspects who escaped from the Vuwani police holding cells a fortnight ago.

The group, Vhutshilo Ram

bau (22), Thanyani Nevondo (28), Moses Siganya Tshishonga (38), Mushe Nemudzivhadi (23) and Ashley Makumbe (28), climbed through a hole that they had cut in the roof of the outer

cell. Police confirmed on Tuesday that two of the five, Rambau and Makumbe, were rearrested People who have information on the other three can contact Lt Mahomane at 082 414 5755.

A water leak in Makhado’s Mimosa Street gushed out water so fast that, even with the water supply interrupted for the greater part of the day, it dammed up in a driveway and ran down two street blocks.

Neighbours came out to watch precious water flowing away. Ms Yolandi Smit said that the leak started in front of their house, opposite Loerie Park, on 26 May. It was painful for them to see water wasted while there was no water in their taps or tanks and their garden having dried up. In addition, they had to steer their vehicles through the river in their gateway. The fact that the water supply in that part of the town is interrupted for many hours daily made it possible for them to gain access to their premises.

Smit’s motherin law, Ms Ellie Venter, started phoning the Makhado Municipality on Monday, 28 May. She resides on the same premises. “I phoned many times over the next 10 days, but stopped because I have to pay for all the calls,” Venter said. By that time, the water was running down Mimosa Street, around the corner and into Koedoe Street.

Passersby stared in amazement. Mr Ampie Meintjies from Loeriepark and Mr Samuel Tshifhango, a neighbour from 30 Mimosa Street, stood looking at the water still gushing out on 8 June. “I wanted to go fishing,” Tshifhango joked.

It was Tshifhango’s turn more than two weeks ago, with a burst pipe on the pavement of his residence.

“The municipality eventually did come out. They said the pipe had burst because of tree roots. They opened it up and left, saying they would first have to buy pipes and materials. They usually came back at night to work,” Tshifhango said. This hole was left open, with the soil dumped into the street itself,

partly obscuring it. Venter reported that the major leak was repaired

late on 8 June. She said that the water had stopped running into their premises.

The municipal spokesperson, Mr Louis Bobodi, said that the leak in Mimosa Street had been caused by a mainline pipe burst. “It took some days [to fix] because we were still waiting for some parts,” Bobodi said on Tuesday and promised that the hole would be fixed in one day’s time.

‘n Rare versameling werkende stoommodelle is nog in Makhado te sien. Hier is mnr. Hansie Uys (regs) en vroulief Corrie by ‘n paar van die groot aantal modelle. Me. Uys hou ’n stoomaangedrewe sportmotor vas. Heel voor is twee klein stoom waterpompe wat oom Hansie self gebou het. Agter die pompe, van links na regs, is ‘n ingevoerde brandweerwa, ‘n lokomotief wat sirkustoerusting trek, ‘n selfvervaardigde padroller en ‘n lokomotief wat goud-erts vervoer.

‘n Rare versameling werkende stoommodelle is nog vir oulaas in Makhado te sien.

Weens gebrek aan uitstalruimte skenk die eienaar, oom Hansie Uys (83), hierdie waardevolle versameling aan sy seun in die Kaap.

Enige iets wat met stoom werk, het oom Hansie nog altyd gefassineer. “Soos menige knaap het ek ook gedroom om ‘n treindrywer te word. Ek het nie by daardie kleintyd droom uitgekom nie, maar begin om modelstoomenjins te versamel en ook self te bou. Hulle tel nou al meer as ‘n paar honderd,” sê Oom Hansie, wie se vol lewe ook draaie gemaak het in boerdery, elektrisiënwerk, joernalistiek en die uitsaaiwese. Nog een van sy vele talente is die maak van pragtige staanhorlosies. Dié staan naby vertoonkaste met speelgoedmodelle en die imponerende stoommodelle.

Om die stoommodelle van naderby te sien as die vertoonkasdeure oopgaan en asem op te hou soos wat die stories ontvou, is ‘n belewenis. Oom Hansie en sy eggenote, Tannie Corrie, nooi belangstellendes uit om dit te kom meemaak voordat die versameling die dorp oor ‘n klompie maande verlaat. Van die modelle dateer sover terug as 1932.

Vanmelewe is stoom gebruik om skepe en mo

Laaste kans om stoommodelle te sien

Weens gebrek aan uitstalruimte skenk Oom Hansie sy waardevolle versameling werkende stoommodelle aan sy seun in die Kaap. Hier hou oom Hansie ´n stoom padroller vas, wat hy op vindingryke wyse vervaardig het.

tors te laat voortbeweeg. Agter die Soutpansberg het boere ook destyds stoom waterpompe vir hul boorgate gebruik. Hier ná 1945 het die pompe op kragparaffien begin loop. Die modelle wat oom Hansie van dié stoom waterpompe gebou het, is akkurate replikas, net sowat 15 maal kleiner as die oorspronklike.

Een van sy gunsteling modelle wat hy op vindingryke wyse met die hand en met masjinerie gebou het, is ‘n stoompadroller. Die voorste wiel van die padroller is twee kanonpatroondoppe wat Oom Hansie inmekaar gedraai het. Die wiele is groot metaal silinders wat hy op ‘n draaibank kleiner gemaak het. Binne in die naaf van elke wiel is ‘n prop van ‘n petrolwa vanaf Zimbabwe, wat oom Hansie gekoop en kleiner gedraai het. Die skoorsteen is die brander uit ‘n laboratorium. Soos al die modelle, werk hierdie een ook.

Een van die grootste en waardevolste mo

delle wat Oom Hansie aangekoop het, is ‘n model wat in 1936 in Australië ‘n eersteprys op ‘n model ingenieursskou ontvang het en. Dit is vandag sowat R20 000 werd.

Oom Hansie se belangstelling en versamelgier het hom in verbinding met ander stoomgeesdriftiges van oor die wêreld gebring. Hy het artikels vir ‘n model ingenieurstydskrif in Engeland geskryf. ‘n Medeentoesias in Australië het so ‘n artikel gelees, hom opgespoor en kosbare tydskrifte aan

hom geskenk.Dele van modelen

jins of hele enjins kan uit Engeland ingevoer word in voltooide vorm, halfpad voltooi of net die onderdele. Dit kan meer as R10 000 kos.

‘n Ou stoom brandweerwa, kompleet met klok en fluitjie, is een van die modelle wat oom Hansie uit Engeland ingevoer het. So ook die modelle van ‘n sportmotor wat met stoom aangedryf word en ‘n sirkustrekker met liggies, ‘n model van die ware Jakob wat destyds die sirkustoerusting in Engeland van dorp na dorp geneem het.

Van Oom Hansie se versamelstukke, soos sy modeltreine, is al vroeër jare per veiling verkoop. Hy is, te verstane, hartseer dat hy binnekort nie meer elke dag sy geliefde versameling stoommodelle onder oë sal hê nie.

“Ek het nie by daardie kleintyd droom uitgekom nie,

maar begin om modelstoomenjins te versamel en ook self te bou”

Die drukkersduiwel het verlede week weer sy lelike gesig gewys in die artikel oor Greater Kuduland Safari’s se wildveiling op 1 Junie.

Die veiling is die oudste wild veiling in die land

en is vir die 38ste keer, nie die 33ste keer soos in die artikel aangedui nie, aangebied. Die veiling het ook nie soos in die verklaring aangedui op Alldays plaasgevind nie, maar wel op Tshipise.

South African and Zimbab-wean officials operating at the Beit Bridge border post embarked on a massive joint clean-up campaign along the Limpopo River two weeks ago.

The fivehour programme, dubbed the TwoCountries Cleanup Campaign, coincided with the World Environment Day commemorations. The exercise was spearheaded and coordinated by the two countries’ port health departments operating at the border post.

The South African port health coordinator at Beit Bridge, Mr David Ramuthiugi, said the cleanup exercise was aimed at raising awareness with travellers and border officials on solidwaste management and disposal along the border post.

“We conducted the exercise with various stakeholders from Zimbabwe and South Africa

to conscientise travellers on the need to keep our environment clean, particularly when it comes to solidwaste disposal. The Beit Bridge border post is the shop window to both Zimbabwe and South Africa. We should keep it clean all the times, so that we are able to attract more visitors and international tourists to our countries,” he said.

Speaking during the exercise, Zimbabwe’s district environmental officer for Beit Bridge, Mr Notho Dube, said the cleanup was in line with the International Health Regulation (IHR) requirement of 2005, of which Zimbabwe and South Africa are signatories. “We embarked on the joint campaign involving various key stakeholders operating at the border post on both the Zimbabwean and South African side. As regulatory authorities, we have a mandate

to ensure that our ports of entry are kept clean and we noted that Beit Bridge needed to be spruced up,” he added.

Dube said they intended to conduct similar exercises quarterly.

Other stakeholders who participated in the cleanup campaign included the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) and South African Revenue Service (SARS) officials, immigration officers from the two countries, New Limpopo Bridge (NLB) company employees, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and agriculture inspectors from Zimbabwe and South Africa.

The Environmental Management Agency (EMA), Zimbabwe Prisons Service officers, Beit Bridge Town Council and Musina Municipality workers also participated in the campaign.

Joint effort to clean up border post

South African and Zimbabwean border officials at the Beit Bridge border post were seen picking up litter during a joint clean-up campaign along the Limpopo River.

Die kleuterskool het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor Sandberg Vervoer vir die skenking. Foto verskaf.

Sommer met die intrapslag wil die nuwe bestuurder van die Soutpansberg Belasting-betalersvereniging (SBBV) antwoorde oor die gebrek-kige watervoorsiening aan Makhado hê.

“‘n Suksesvolle Kremetart fietswedren is agter die rug, waar daar genoeg water vir die besoekers én inwoners was. Ons het nie nodig gehad om kanne water iewers te gaan haal of te koop nie. Maar net toe ons dink die waterkwessie is uitgesorteer, daar droog die krane toe sowaar

weer op,” sê mnr. Phillip Olivier, die nuwe SBBV bestuurder.

Op 11 Junie het verskeie ondernemings en inwoners gekla dat hulle alweer nie water het vir die spoel van toilette nie. “Om nie eens te praat van ‘n ketel water vir ‘n koppie koffie nie,” sê Olivier.

Hy het navraag probeer doen by die Makhado Munisipaliteit.

“Jy kry geen verduideliking nie en niemand weet wat aangaan nie, “ was sy ondervinding.

Die munisipale woordvoerder, mnr. Louis Bobodi, het aanvank

lik gesê dat hy nie bewus was dat daar weer waterprobleme was nie, maar dat hy kennis neem daarvan en dat hy die oorsaak sou uitvind.

“Die sporadiese tekort aan water vandag is veroorsaak deur ‘n tegniese fout by een van die pompstasies,” het Bobodi Dinsdagmiddag gesê. Hy het ook gesê dat die probleem “intussen opgelos is” en dat water na die reservoirs gepomp word om daarvandaan versprei te word so gou soos wat die vereiste watervlak bereik is.

Mnr. Phillip Olivier is die nuwe bestuurder van die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging in Makhado. Hy neem oor by me. Aretha Smit, wat vanaf Augustus 2010 die pos beklee het. Olivier het op 1 Junie begin. Vir die eerste maand werk Smit, wat terugkeer na die onderwys, nog op deeltydse basis saam met Olivier.


Tegniese fout rede vir waterskaarste

Laerskool Levubu was een van die skole wat op 1 Junie deelgeneem het aan die “Komatiland bewusmaking van Vuur-veldtog” by Entabeni. Tydens die geleentheid kon die leerlinge in die prentjiemooi omgewing hul rympies lees, asook hul kreatiewe skryfwerk voltooi. Die juniors het in die Afrikaanse afdeling deelgeneem en die seniors in die Engelse afdeling. In die foto spog die leerders met hul medaljes. Voor, van links na regs, is Fazilah Mills, Amina Mills, Darian Toerien en Vele Mukoma. Agter is Angelique Toerien, me. Susan Liebenberg (organiseerder), Nicole Fourie, Lourika Schutte, Jessica Smith en Rudolph Schutte. Die laerskool het ook twee trofees verower tydens die geleentheid. Foto verskaf.

New M-Class launched

Mercedes’ latest generation M-Class can go for 1 500 kilometres between refillsMercedes-Benz have launched their third-generation M-Class SUVs with permanent all-wheel drive.

Not only does the MClass deliver exceptional safety and wellbalanced ride comfort, but excellent driving dynamics, both on and off the road, as well. What’s more, this new MClass features an array of new chassis developments and innovative dynamic handling control systems which further enhance both driving enjoyment and handling safety. A characteristic body design and a variable interior add to the richness of the driving experience in the new MClass.

The new MercedesBenz MClass scores particularly high on energy efficiency, with the new model range consuming between 23% and 28% less fuel than the outgoing models.

One outstanding model is the new ML 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC, which boasts an NEDC consumption of just 6.5litres per /100 km and has a range of up to 1 500km on a full tank. The 4cylinder engine kicks out 150kW of power and 500Nm of torque.

Other models include the ML 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC V6, the ML 350 4MATIC V6 petrol engine, the ML 500 with the new

V8 direct injection engine and the topofthe range model for the MClass, the classleading ML 63 AMG, fitted with the V8 engine that provides 386kW of power and 700Nm of torque.

Even the standard version of the new MClass offers a high level of comfort, dynamic onroad handling and outstanding offroad capabilities. For the first time, the MClass chassis with steel suspension features selective damping. The driver is assisted by electric steering, which ensures the optimum level of steering assistance for the current driving situation.

For driving off the beaten track, all models are equipped with extensive offroad features as standard, including 4MATIC permanent allwheel drive, 4ETS electronic traction control and an offroad button which activates a special offroad driving mode. Furthermore, the startoff assist system makes hill starts easier, while the Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR) automatically keeps the M Class at the speed set, using the cruise control stalk.

The new MClass represents the embodiment of the MercedesBenz holistic safety concept of REAL LIFE SAFETY, which is derived primarily from what hap

pens in a real accident situation. The extremely robust occupant compartment of the MClass, together with the front and rear deformation zones, forms an effective basis for the occupant protection system. Up to nine airbags, activated on demand

in accordance with the accident type and accident severity, can reduce the loads exerted on the occupants, in addition to active safety systems, such as the standardfit Brake Assist (BAS) or the optional BAS PLUS, which can help to prevent an accident or

reduce the severity of an accident.As with all MercedesBenz

passenger cars, the MClass range comes standard with a MobiloDrive maintenance plan of 6 years or 120 000 km, with prices ranging from R683 500 for the ML 250 BlueTEC 4Matic

model to R1 380 000 for the ML 63 AMG.

Chev Utility

No it’s not a Corsa bakkie - yet it is one

By all accounts, the new Chevrolet Utility looks to have lost none of its inherent qualities and, with its sleek design, will appeal to a wide market. (Photo: www.quickpic.co.za)

They say a change is as good as a holiday, and this is certainly true of the ever-popular Chev Utility, better known as the Corsa bakkie.

According to Imperial GM sales manager Martie Venter in Makhado, the recently modernised Corsa still remains the top seller in its class.

Chevrolet and Isuzu received gold recognition at the annual IPSOS Awards, hosted for the past eight years and seen as setting the benchmark in customer experience in the automotive industry.

Recognition is given to the outstanding achievers in four categories, namely purchase and service experience in passenger vehicles and purchase and service experience in light commercial vehicles. Both Chev and Isuzu

received outstanding percentages in all four categories.

Since the first two generations of GM’s light pickup truck, the new thirdgeneration Chevrolet Utility Base is still not afraid to roll up its sleeves. Last year, GM decided to drop the Corsa moniker and refer to the bakkie as the Chevrolet Utility.

The new Utility is available in three different models, namely Base, Club and Sport. Standard equipment includes colourcoded bumpers, heightadjustable steering column and driver’s seat, driver and passenger airbags, as well as an immobiliser, while aircondition is an option.

Two petrol engines are available and have been carried over largely unchanged from the outgoing model. The 1.4litre,

8valve engine delivers 68kW of power at 6 000rpm and 120Nm of torque at 3 200rpm, requiring an average of 7.2litres of premium unleaded per 100km.

The slightly largercapacity 1.8litre engine is good for 77kW of power at 5 400rpm and 161Nm of torque at 3 000 rpm, with an average thirst of 8.1 litres per 100km. By all accounts, the new Chevrolet Utility looks to have lost none of its inherent qualities and, with its sleek design, will appeal to a wide market. For a limited time only, clients will receive a free canopy when they purchase the Utility 1.4 (without aircon) or the 1.8 (with aircon).

To avoid disappointment, phone one of Makhado GM’s friendly sales consultants at 015 516 0239.

Eye in the sky to stop rhino poachingThe patrolling of the two-mil-lion-hectare Kruger National Park (KNP) against rhino poachers received a boost last Tuesday when an ultra-light Bantam Aircraft was presented to the park during a ceremony at the Shingwedzi Aircraft Hanger.

The R1,4 million aircraft, as well as night vision equipment, was donated on behalf of the park’s ranger corps by the SANParks Honorary Rangers.

According to the managing executive of the KNP, Mr Abe Sibiya, the Bantam and other equipment will considerably enhance the effectiveness of the ranger corps “by providing them with tools to patrol over larger areas.” He said that with

the budget constraints affecting everybody globally, the Bantam would complement the other aircraft already in use.

He added that the park’s antipoaching teams could no longer patrol on foot, bicycle, motorbike or in a vehicle only and that they must be able to conduct aerial patrols “armed with sophisticated field equipment.”

Sibiya added that in the first five months of this year alone, rhino poached in South Africa had already exceeded 235. He mentioned that it was no secret that the fight against poaching “is ever present and continues today with an intensity that has never been seen before.”

He said the rangers continued to find wellequipped poachers

who aimed to capitalise illegally on the park’s natural heritage. “I therefore would like to encourage all the citizens of the country to rally behind the park’s rangers as the eyes and ears of the world are on us.”

Apart from the Bantam aircraft and equipment, the honorary rangers also contributed to the operational cost of the Bantam to the value of R100 000. The equipment includes torches, night vision goggles, thermal binoculars and scope mounts, which will all be used during patrols and other vital antipoaching work. Sibiya praised the honorary rangers for their determination to continue to make a difference as far as antipoaching is concerned.

Photographed at the Bantam aircraft are, from left to right, Messrs Ben van Eeden (Regional General Manager: Nxanatsene Area), Marius Rencke (Shingwedzi Section Ranger) and Abe Sibiya (KNP Managing Executive).

Nothing left and 22km still to go ... With just over 150km behind them at the end of stage three at Schoemansdal, many cyclist could no longer hide their sheer exhaustion.

Pretty and tough ... The women’s race was a one-woman affair, with An-Li Pretorius from team MTN-Qhubeka snatching victory in all four stages and finishing as overall women’s winner in a combined time of 05:20:39.

P&L cyclist Cassie Mattheus was also running on empty by the time he reached Schoemansdal at the end of stage three of the 175km main event.

It was still all smiles for the more than 1000 riders at the beginning of the second stage of the 175km race at Waterpoort. The number of smiles later disappeared as each of the four stages took more and more out of riders.

Die O/11A-netbalspan van Laerskool Louis Trichardt is die naaswenners in die Limpopo A-liga. Tydens die provinsiale kampioenskappe in Polokwane het dié wakker spannetjie hul groepwedstryde teen Munzhenzhe en Pietersburg-Suid gewen, asook die kwarteindrondte teen Julian Muller. Daarna het hulle in die semifinaal teen Laerskool Tzaneen geseëvier en in die finaal teen Pietersburg-Oos verloor. Saam met die span verskyn hul afrigter, me Elzabé Stewart.

Vir die kranige jong rugbyspeler Rüann Booysen van Makhado, wat sedert kleintyd met ‘n gehoorprobleem moes rekening hou, is sy deelname aan die jaarlikse Bokkie-week in Kroonstad ‘n dubbele bron van vreugde. Rüann, wat vir die BCVO O/16-span speel, het ‘n stewige borgskap van Solly’s Discount World ontvang om sy deelname moontlik te maak. In die foto oorhandig sakeman Solly Noor se persoonlike assistent, Rina Pieterse, ‘n tjek ten bedrae van R3 300 aan Rüann om die koste van sy deelname te help dek. Die byeenkoms is van 2 tot 6 Julie in Kroonstad.

Die Soutpansberg Muurbalklub het verlede Woensdag sy jaarlikse rondomtalie afgesluit met ‘n prysuitdeling. Erik Welman wen die mans A-afdeling, Ryno Gerber is die wenner van die mans plaat-afdeling en Ronel Welman die wenner van die vroue-afdeling. Al die spelers wat die prysuitdelingsfunksie bygewoon het, is beloon met ‘n prys en die klub het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor die borge. Voor, van links na regs, staan Erik Welman, Theo Schlieben en Ronel Welman. Agter is Lionel Smith, Dirk du Preez, Hannes Spies, Ryno Gerber en Willem van Wyngaard.


Die Weg, die Waarheid en die LeweDit is vir die Here belangrik dat Sy

kinders Hom vertrou. Daarom is die geloofslewe altyd ‘n “offer”lewe.

Hebreërs 11:6 sê: “As ‘n mens nie glo nie, is dit onmoontlik om te doen wat God wil.”

Toe Jesus gesê het as iemand Sy dissipel wil wees, moet hy homself verloën, sy kruis elke dag opneem en Hom volg, het Hy bedoel ons moet onsself ledig van alles, ook die goeie, want niks moet in die pad staan van die beste nie. Die beste is Jesus self.

Ook dit wat ons van God ontvang moet aan God toevertrou en geoffer word, hoe kosbaar dit ookal vir ons mag wees.

Jakobus 2:2123 leer ons geloof word volmaak deur die werke wat geloof doen. Vers 22 sê: “Jy sien dus dat sy geloof met dade gepaard gegaan het en dat dit eers deur dade volkome geword het.” Die dade sê vers 21 was dat Abraham sy seun, Isak, op die altaar gelê het.

Abraham was meer as 40 jaar by God ‘n leerling in die skool van geloof en toe slaag hy sy grootste toets; hy is bereid om Isak te offer, want hy het geglo God is by magte om uit die dood op te wek.

Jakobus 2:23b sê: “en hy is ‘n vriend van God genoem.”

Vertrou jy God so dat jy alles op die altaar sal plaas vir Hom?

Hierdie humor is godslasterlik

Graag word hierdie skrywe aan u gerig namens die Leraarsfo

rum van Louis Trichardt met verwysing na ‘n publikasie in “Zoutie Giggelgoeters” van 18 Mei 2012 met die opskrif “Modern Baptizing for youngsters?” Hierin word daar verwys na die Heilige Gees as “holehegoes”.

Ons beswaar teen die onsmaaklike plasing hiervan berus op die volgende:

* Die Christen gelowiges wat erkenning en eer aan die Heilige Gees gee in ons wandel met Christus, se sensitiwiteit is nie in ag geneem nie. (U kan u self herinner aan die opslae wat ‘n wyle terug gemaak is toe daar gespot is met Muhammed van die Moslemgeloof. Die vraag is: wat sou die reaksie van die Moslem geloof wees indien die Zoutpansberger ook onsensitiewe publikasies maak rondom hul geloof?)

* Aangesien die Skrif duidelik uitspraak lewer rondom lastering teen die Heilige Gees, word oneer aan die Heilige Gees in hierdie publikasie gebring. Die mens het geen mandaat om die karakter van die Heilige Gees op welke wyse

ookal te reduseer tot dit wat in u publikasie uitgebeeld is nie.

* Ons beskou die Zoutpans-berger as ‘n gemeenskapskoerant wat deur alle ouderdomme gelees word, maar deur hierdie publikasie kan dit afbreek doen aan die agting, respek en vrees wat ons as mens moet toon teenoor God en Sy Woord.

* Gepaste en oordeelkundige humor is nodig op sy tyd maar kan nie gekompromiteer word met dit wat vir ons as Christen gelowiges van waarde is en wat vir ons as vrymakende waarhede belangrik geag word nie.

In ‘n gees van broederskap wil ons derhalwe ‘n vriendelike dog baie dringende versoek tot u rig om voortaan groter sensitiwiteit aan die dag te lê wanneer plasings oorweeg word. Die huidige plasing waarna verwys word in hierdie skrywe dra ongelukkig nie ons as Leraarsforum se goedkeuring weg nie.

Vriendelike groete

Dr Philip Venter(voorsitter: Leraarsforum)

Dankie aan munisipaliteit wat self Moedergemeente se ingange herstel

Die NG Kerk Louis Trichardtgemeente se ingange na die ter

rein is nou reeds vir ‘n geruime tyd in ‘n swak toestand.

Toe ons dus sien dat die munisipaliteit besig is om van die strate te teer, het ons besluit om te vra of hulle aan ons ‘n paar sakke teer kan afstaan, sodat ons self die ingange na die kerkterrein kan herstel.

Groot was ons verbasing tot mnr. Raqimana dadelik opdrag gee aan Rudi Opperman en sy span om albei die kerk se ingange te herstel en te verseël. Reeds vroeg Dinsdagoggend was die munisipale span op ons drumpel en het hulle begin om die ingang in Erasmusstraat reg te maak. Net na middagete was daar ‘n baie netjiese geteerde nuwe ingang en het hulle die stukkende sement plaveiblokke reeds verwyder en

opgeruim. Vroeg Woensdagoggend was

dieselfde span op hulle pos by die Burgerstraat ingang. Gougou is die teeroppervlak teenaan die sypaadjie opgevul en verseël en ook die gate is opgevul en verseël. Teen middagete was die werk afgehandel.

Hierdie was vir ons ‘n baie positiewe gebaar vanaf die kant van die munisipaliteit. Ons kan net getuig van vriendelike en hulpvaardige diens by die ingenieursdepartement en die werk is vinnig en van hoogstaande standaard afgehandel.

Dankie aan mnre. Ralulimi (direkteur), Raqimana en die span werkers onder leiding van Rudi Opperman. Ons waardeer julle hulp.

Almal kom help om brand te blus

Die spreekwoord “Nood leer bid” was lanklaas vir ons as

gesin so van toepassing soos verlede Donderdag.

Met ‘n verwoede westewind het ‘n vuur van die dorp se kant af reg op ons plaas ingewaai. Daar was geen manier wat ons dit kon keer nie en die vuurpaaie het niks gehelp nie.

Ons was uiters verlig en dankbaar toe die brandweer, met ‘n tenk vol water en toerusting wat werk, daar aangekom het. Hulle het die oostelike gedeelte van die plaas beveilig en gekeer dat die vuur na

die buurgronde toe versprei. Die brandweer was professioneel en uiters behulpsaam.

Baie dankie ook aan die vuurslaan eenheid van Entabeni, wat ook met hulle vuurtrok die westekant kon natspuit en die brand onderbeheer help kry. Sonder julle hulp sou dit ‘n maar ‘n tragiese dag gewees het.

Dankie ook vir al die bure en hulle kinders en die vriende wat kom help het. Julle hulp en ondersteuning was soos manna uit die hemel gewees.

- Dennis en Jana Smith

“They walked the extra mile for me”

I have always believed that good service should be highlighted

and made public as we are so used to getting poor service.

Recently, I had an overheating problem with my little Hyundai Atos.

With the help of Messrs Amed Karim (owner), Deon de Jager (workshop manager), Riaan Schlebusch (service adviser) and Willie Horn (mechanic) of Hyundai in Makhado, the car was fixed under

warranty and returned to me in good working order.

As there was a problem with the warranty, the trouble that these gentlemen went to to have the claim approved is really appreciated.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to these four gentlemen and I will certainly do business with Hyundai Makhado when I need to buy another car.

Cycle Centre verdien ‘n pluimpie

Baie dankie aan Mohammed, Bobby en Mohammed (jr.) van

Cycle Centre vir julle onbaatsugtige opoffering en hulp Saterdagoggend met die Kremetart fietsresies.

Om 06:00 vind een van ons vriende van Rustenburg uit dat sy net een skoen het vir haar fiets. Gelukkig het ek Mohammed se selfoonnommer en sy reaksie: “Geen probleem, kry jou by die winkel.”

Twee minute voor haar bestemde

wegspring kon ons haar aflaai. By Waterpoort het die onderhoudspan die finale verstellings aan die skoene gedoen en kon sy ry.

Ons besoekers was net vol lof vir die hulp en wyse waarop hulle gehelp is en ek was ongelooflik trots op Mohammed en sy personeel. Wat ‘n wonderlike advertensie vir ons dorp!

Dit is ‘n klad op ons jeug se naam

Verlede week het ‘n paar hoërskoolseuns by my DVDwinkel

kom rekenaarspeletjies speel, nadat hulle met eksamen klaar was.

Ek was buite die winkel besig om borde te plak wat moes klaar. Later die aand toe ek my skootrekenaar soek wat in my voorhuis gekoppel was en waarop al my agtergrondmusiek was, moes ek tot my ont

steltenis agterkom dat dit gesteel is.Ek vra dus die seuns wat skuldig

is om dit op een of ander manier asseblief terug te besorg, asook my GPS wat op ‘n vorige tydstip ook verdwyn het. Dit is ‘n klad op ons jeug se naam.

- Attie Engelbrecht (Makhado)

Well - I didn’t know that

How many of you know the etymology of the most com-mon equivalent of ‘manure’?

In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship. This was also before the invention of commercial fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common on the high seas.

It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet. But once water (at sea) hit it in the lower sections of the hold, not only did it become heavier, but the process of fermenta-tion began again, of which a by-product is methane gas, of course.

As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below deck and the first time someone came

below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!

Several ships were de-stroyed in this manner before the cause of the problem was determined.

After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the instruction: ‘Stow high in transit’ on them, which meant for the sailors to stow this cargo high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch the volatile material and start the production of methane.

Thus evolved the term ‘S.H.I.T.’, (Stow High In Tran-sit) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.

You probably did not know the true history of this word.

Neither did I.

I had always thought it was a golfing term.

(Contd from P24)With the wind now almost at

their backs, stage three from Waterpoort to Schoemansdal took place at a blistering pace. The gruelling uphill stage finish at Schoemansdal saw the top riders having to push hard at the end, with Maree securing his second stage win and Smit once again in second place and Kachelhoffer again in third place.

At the start of the final 22km stage back to Makhado, the only thing that stood between the riders and the finishing line was the 4km climb at Otto’s Hoogte. From there it was a downhill sprint to the finish. This time round, Kachelhoffer was just too strong, finishing first, followed by Julius Corbet in second place and Maree third.

Maree’s two stage wins were enough for him to be crowned overall winner in a combined time of 04:23:48. Kachelhoffer was second overall in 04:23:52, with Willie Smit a mere second later in overall third place in 04:23:53.

The women’s race was a onewoman affair, with AnLi Pret o r i u s f r o m t e a m MTNQhubeka snatching victory in all four stages from defending champion and Kremetart Brand Ambassador Anriette Schoe man. Schoeman, riding for Mecer NMMU, this year only managed four secondplace finishes in each of the stages. With four stage wins under her belt, Pretorius was crowned overall

women’s winner in a combined time of 05:20:39, with Schoeman in second position overall in a combined time of 05:20:43 and Cycle Lab Toyota’s Lynette Burger third in a time of 05:21:19.

The 70km race was dominated by local riders, with members of the P&L Cycling Club taking first, second and third position in the men’s race. CP van Wyk cy

cled home in a time of 02:03:10, with haun Constable in second place in 02:05:02 and Marco Roets third in 02:10:44. The 70km women’s race was clinched by Leandri Jansen van Rensburg (Cycle Lab Super Cycling) in 02:17:18, with Alison Lailvaux second in 02:33:56 and Vanessa Record (Jakaranda Cycling Club) third in 02:43:33.

Early on Monday morning (18th), a local doctor will embark on a quest to cycle 2 300 km across South Africa, starting at Pietermaritzburg and ending in Wellington in the Western Cape. His chal-lenge will be more than just a physical and mental race against time and the elements; it will also be a challenge to collect money for a local can-cer charity.

Dr Casper Venter is one of the roughly 50 mountainbikers who entered for this year’s gruelling Freedom Challenge. The Freedom Challenge is considered to be one of the world’s toughest endurance events, where competitors have to find their way through valleys, cross rivers and conquer several mountains to eventually finish in the Boland, some 2 300 kilometres later. No modern navigation equipment such as handheld GPS devices are allowed and they only have maps to help find their way from one overnight point to another. They also have only 26 days in which to finish the route to claim

the coveted Basotho blanket handed to all competitors who manage to finish this race.

The overnight points are roughly 100 kilometres apart and riders try and reach these before nightfall. Prior to the race, riders must pack all their extra clothes, spares, food supplements and even medication in 20 twolitre ice cream containers. These containers are then sent ahead and placed at some of the overnight stations. The riders need to carry whatever else they need on their backs or attach it to the bikes. The recordholder is Alex Harris, who finished the race in 12 days and 15 hours.

Dr Casper Venter has been preparing for the challenge for many months now. He is especially worried about the weather conditions the riders are about to encounter on the route. Last week, snow started falling in the mountainous areas and the temperature dropped to 12º Celsius at places. He has no fewer than four pairs of gloves to help protect him against the cold.

During this challenge, Dr

Venter is trying to collect more than R100 000 for a local cancer charity, the Makhado Care Group. Several businesses and individuals have already agreed to sponsor him for every kilometre he completes. “This will motivate me and help me to carry on and reach the finish line,” said Casper last week.

The Zoutpansberger has also created a web page where readers can follow his progress. The address is www.zoutpansberger.co.za/node/freedomchallenge, or simply follow the link from the Home Page. The page has a map that will indicate his latest position tracked. All riders have a Netstar tracking device that transmits coordinates at certain intervals. Dr Venter will also upload pictures and comments, which will be displayed here. Alternatively, readers can visit his blog site at www.freedomchallenge2012.com.

Individuals or businesses who want to sponsor him can contact members of the Makhado Care Group or call him at (015) 516 4871.

Kremetart 2012

The past weekend saw some 2 000 cyclists decent on Makhado for participation in the 22nd annual PPC Kremetart Cycle races. Right: David Maree, overall winner of this year’s PPC Kremetart 175km stage race.

Maree races to victory

The past weekend saw some 2 000 cyclists descend on Makha-do for participation in the 22nd annual PPC Kremetart Cycle races.

For many it was an epic ride, which saw earlymorning smiles disappear as each of the four stages of the 175km main event took more and more out of riders. A chilly and strong side wind in the Waterpoort/Vivo stage also

did not make it easier for riders, and by lunchtime, many were already minutes off their pace compared to previous years.

Saturday’s strong wind did not, however, deter the top names and teams in South African cycling, with team Tasol GT putting in a strong performance to take three of the four stages in the senior men’s race. Tasol GT’s David Maree clinched the yellow jersey in the first 53km stage from Makhado to Waterpoort,

with Willie Smith from team Toyota CSA cycling home in second place and Hanco Kachellhoffer (Tasol GT) in third place. Team Tasol also did well to secure teammate Nolan Hoffman a stage win in the relatively flat WaterpoorttoVivo stage. It was between him and team Bonitas’s Johan Rabie at the sprint to the finish, with Rabie finishing second and Maree clinching third place.

Jacques Fullard and teammate Hansie Joubert put in a strong performance in this year’s tandem category of the PPC Kremetart 175km race, finishing as overall winners in a combined time of 04:32:29.
