For the umpteenth time, Louis Tri-chardt residents have been left without water for days on end.

Since last Friday, residents have been without running water – something that has by now become a luxury in town instead of a basic human right.

The water supply was cut without any warning, leaving many residents scrambling for water or queuing at water suppliers. Questions and enquiries by the public about the cause of the problem were allegedly also met with aggression and rudeness from the municipality’s side. By Monday afternoon, the municipality had apparently reverted to just not answering their phones anymore.

Even the Zoutpansberger had to get into the fi ghting ring, having to wait almost two days for an offi cial response from municipal spokesperson Mr Louis Bobodi about the cause of the problem.

In the meantime, rumours started doing the rounds that it was the municipality’s own employees who had sabotaged the

water infrastructure out of protest over internal politics, with law­abiding resi­dents being held hostage in the process and having to pay the price.

One such rumour was that members of the South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) and Independent Mu­nicipal and Allied Trade Union (Imathu) had gone on strike, following a meeting between them and the municipality’s top management last Thursday with regard to overtime payment. (See article on P6).

Asked directly if workers were indeed on strike, Bobodi vehemently denied any such allegations.

“They [SAMWU & IMATU] are only having discussions with management,” said Bobodi. Evidence, however, sug­gests otherwise. Numerous reports were received that the workers were indeed striking, constituting an illegal strike. The appointment of outside contractors to help restore the water supply also suggests that municipal workers were on strike. The municipality’s failure to remove refuse from homes and businesses the past week was further evidence of a strike.

Bobodi also denied rumours that SAM­WU and IMATU members had sabotaged municipal infrastructure, although he confi rmed that 10 municipal boreholes had been vandalised and cables stolen. This was given as the reason why the water supply was interupted.

Asked whether this had been reported to the police, Bobodi said: “I’m not sure, I don’t want to lie.” Local police spokes­person Capt Maano Sadike confi rmed on Wednesday, however, that no such report was received from the municipality, beg­ging the question why not.

By Tuesday, Bobodi was also unable to indicate when full water supply will be restored. In his response, he did indicate that emergency water supply tankers were deployed around town at strategic points to help alleviate the water crisis. Asked ex­actly where these tankers could be found, Bobodi replied: “I’m not familiar with the exact spot, but people know where they [tankers] are”.

On the up side of things, it was reported that the water supply to some parts of town was restored by late Tuesday afternoon.

2 27 January 2012 ZOUTPANSBERGER

Two men, one a well-known Soutpansberg farmer, were acquitted on charges of as-sault and malicious damage to property.

Both Mr Carl Henning (45) and Mr Thomas Mudau (34) of the farm Moddervlei were accused that they had assaulted an attorney on the farm on 5 February 2009. They appeared in the Louis Trichardt Magistrate’s Court once again on Monday.

The attorney, Mr Eddie Shirin­da, claimed that Henning and Mudau had viciously attacked him when he paid a visit to the farm with Mack Nkuna, his client.

According to Shirinda, they visited the farm in person be­cause Henning refused that Nkuna’s aunt be buried there. Shirinda claimed that Henning refused to listen to reason, de­spite the fact that the land claims commissioner had ordered the burial of the aunt.

It was during this meeting that things went wrong and, claimed Shirinda, he was as­saulted. Shirinda said that he was so badly beaten that his wife, who is a nurse, had to treat him. His cellphone was also broken.

During the trial it came to light that the Moddervlei farm is man­aged by a communal property association (CPA), following a successful land claim, and that Mudau was the current chairper­son of the CPA. It was, according to Henning’s testimony, the CPA who refused that the aunt be bur­ied on Moddervlei.

Henning further testified that the land claims commissioner’s letter had never ordered that the burial take place, but merely asked the CPA’s chairperson to reconsider their decision.

Henning also denied that Shi­rin da was assaulted when he and his client were escorted from the farm after they refused to leave.

“Shirinda did not put up a

fight, but as we talked he said he would teach us a lesson,” Hen­ning testified.

Nkuna was also persona non grata on the farm, following a general notice that was issued on the farm that Nkuna was not allowed to set foot there. It was, according to Henning, due to the fact that Nkuna had made death threats towards himself, his fa­ther as well as to Mudau.

During Monday’s court ap­pearance, the court dismissed Shirinda’s case, saying that he had not proved his case beyond a reasonable doubt. Evidence that was needed to prove the case, such as a medical certificate regarding Shirinda’s injuries, as well as the broken cellphone, was not handed in to corroberate his story. As a result, the court ruled that Henning and Mudau had used reasonable force, under the circumstances, to remove Shirinda and Nkuna from the farm.

Inwoners van Louis Trichardt staar tans ‘n nuwe vlaag van terreur in die gesig waar daar by hul wonings ingebreek word terwyl hulle rustig lê en slaap.

Plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder kapt. Maano Sadike het by navraag gesê dat daar die afgelope naweek by nie minder nie as vyf wonings in Louis Trichardt ingebreek is.

Dit is duidelik dat die nuwe uitbreiding geteiken word, met vier van die inbrake wat daar plaasge­vind het in onder meer Baobab­, Leeu­, Tambotie­ en Akasiastraat, en een in Vorsterstraat in die ou dorp. In twee bevestigde gevalle was die inwoners tuis terwyl daar ingebreek is. Bewerings is gemaak dat van die bewoners met ‘n gas bedwelm is voor­dat daar by hulle ingebreek is.

“Dit is die aakligste gevoel om te weet iemand was in jou huis terwyl jy geslaap het,” het mev. Jenny van der Merwe van Akasiastraat Dinsdag gesê. Haar man Hennie vertel dat hulle omstreek Saterdag omstreeks 23:00 bed toe is. Gedurende die aand het hulle ‘n geluid gehoor, maar alhoewel hulle wakker geword het, kon hulle nie beweeg of met mekaar praat nie. Hy sê hulle is definitief bedwelm.

“Hulle moes definitief ‘n gas of iets in die kamer ingespuit het. Dit het ‘n merkbare reuk gehad en laat jou bors toetrek,” het Hennie vertel. Hul kamer venster was die aand oop.

Hennie sê die gas het hulle weer in ‘n diep slaap gedompel. Met eerste lig Sondagoggend het hul wakker geskrik en met skok gevind dat die diefwer­ing voor een van hul kombuisvensters afgeknip en weggebuig is.

Kort daarna het hulle gemerk dat Hennie se skootrekenaar en kamera, wat op die eetkamertafel gelê het, weg is. Hennie vermoed dat hulle ook sy motor wou steel, maar dat iets hulle skrik op die lyf gejaag het. Sy motorsleutels het by die agterdeur gelê en die slot op die buitehek was reeds afgeknip en oopgestoot.

“Dank die Vader hulle het nie na ons slaapkamer gekom nie,” het Hennie gesê. Hy sê dat hulle die oggend ná die inbraak baie naar was en glad nie iets kon eet of drink nie, weereens, volgens hom, bewys dat hulle met iets bedwelm is.

Nog ‘n familie wat dieselfde aand deurgeloop het, was die Du Preez’s van Baobabstraat. Pa Dirk en sy twee seuns, Chrisjan (9) en DJ (12), het kort na middernag Sondagoggend na ‘n naweekuitstap­pie teruggekeer huis toe. Ma Lianie, wat by die huis gebly het, het reeds geslaap. Teen dagbreek Sondagoggend het Lianie opgestaan en gesien hul kombuisdeur staan oop.

“Lianie was redelik kwaad omdat ons die deur oopgelos het, maar ons het nie. Kort daarna het sy gegil,” vertel Dirk. Die gil het gekom nadat Lianie gesien het dat die diefwering voor een van hul kombuisvenster afgeknip en weggebuig is. Die booswigte het klaarblyklik die agterdeur van binne oopgesluit, nadat hulle deur die kombuisvenster geklim het.

“Haar [Lianie] se eerste woor de aan my was ‘Gaan kyk in die TV­kamer’,” sê Dirk. Kort daarna het hulle gemerk dat hul platskerm televisie, asook die afstandbeheerders van al die elektroniese ware

Inbrekers pla, terwyl inwoners slaap

Daar is talle ooreenkomste tussen die in-braak by die Van der Merwe- en Du Preez-families, alhoewel die polisie traag is om nou al te bevestig dat dit die werk van dieselfde groep inbrekers is.

Die ooreenkomste tussen die twee inbrake is:* Nie die Van der Merwe­ of Du Preez­

families het honde op hul erwe nie;* In beide gevalle is ‘n boutsnyer gebruik om

die diefwering te knip;* In beide gevalle is daar by ‘n kombuis­

venster aan die agterkant van die woning ingebreek;

* In beide gevalle was die wonings omring deur vol grasperke of plaveisel – nie grond nie, wat dit makliker sou maak om voetspore te lig;

* Beide wonings is dieselfde aand geteiken;* In beide gevalle is slegs elektroniese ware

gesteel; en* In beide gevalle is daar nie deurbeweeg na

die slaapgedeeltes van die huise nie.Mnr. Dirk Meissenheimer van die Soutpans­

berg Dorpswag vermoed ook dat dit die werk van dieselfde groep mense kan wees, alhoewel hy dit ook nie kan bevestig nie. As raad aan inwoners het hy aanbeveel dat mense maar ‘n hond of twee moet aanskaf om hul te help om hulself te beveilig.

“Kry ook maar ‘n paar buiteligte en maak seker dat huissleutels nie maklik bekombaar is soos om dit in die deur te los nie,” sê hy. Verder meen hy dit is ‘n goeie idee om in die aand ook die huis se gordyne toe te trek.

“Ek weet dit is moeilik, maar al is dit warm, maak die kamervensters toe in die aand,” sê Meissenheimer.

Plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder kapt. Maano Sadike het op sy beurt inwoners gewaarsku om versigtig te wees om sommer mense van die straat af wat stukwerk soek, aan te stel. In gevalle waar mense wel aangestel word, sê Sadike, is dit belangrik om ‘n afskrif van die werkers se ID, kontakbesonderhede, adres en besonderhede van sy of haar naasbestaandes te kry.

“Wanneer daar dan ingebreek word en die vermoede bestaan dat die werker betrokke kan wees, maak dit die polisie se taak soveel makliker om die saak te ondersoek,” het Sadike gesê.

weg is. Ook hy was dankbaar dat die inbrekers nie na hul slaapkamers gekom het nie.

“Dit was net genade,” sê Dirk, wat ‘n veiligheidshek binne die huis het tussen die slaap­kamers en die res van die huis. Hy het hoë lof gehad vir die Soutpansberg Dorpswag en plaaslike polisie, wat binne minute na sy oproep by sy huis was.

Reddingswerkers het verlede Donderdag vir bykans ‘n uur lank gespook om ‘n pad-werker uit sy motorwrak te sny, nadat ‘n polisievoertuig met sy bakkie gebots het.

Dié toneel het homself afge­speel op die N1­noord, naby die Ingwe Hotel. Mnr. Michael Mostert is in sy diensvoer­tuig se wrak vasgepen toe ‘n polisievragmotor buite beheer geraak het en teen hom gebots het.

Volgens ooggetuies Lucy Mathidi, Robert Rambowane en Steven Gabara, het dit voorgekom of die bestuurder van die polisievoertuig beheer verloor het op die nat pad. “Die polisievragmotor het eers oor die pad gegly en teen die rotswal langs die pad gebots, voordat dit Michael se bakkie getref het.”

Die polisie se vragmotor was op pad na Beitbrug om 38 Zim­babwiërs te deporteer. Michael, wat vir Nkabindi Konstruksie werk, is afkomstig van Ermelo. Ten tye van die ongeluk was hy

juis besig om op te pak vir die dag. Nkabindi was besig om ‘n deel van die pad te herstel waar ‘n vragmotor die vorige dag deur die veiligheidsreëling gebars het.

Michael se bakkie het stil­gestaan terwyl gereedskap op­gelaai is en hy binne­in gesit het om sy ritregister in te vul.

Met die impak van die onge­luk het die polisievragmotor op sy sykant te lande gekom en in die proses Michael se bakkie dubbel gevou en teen die rotse vasgedruk. Die polisievoertuig se deure is ook oopgedruk en ‘n hele klomp van die Zimbab­wiërs het uitgeval. Michael, daarenteen, is oor die lengte van die bakkie se kajuit vasgepen.

Terwyl reddingwerkers van die Zimbabwiese mans en vrouens behandel het op die toneel, het nog ‘n groep ver­bete gespartel om ‘n geskokte Michael uit die wrak los te sny. Die reddingswerkers moes ver­sigtig te werk gaan om seker te maak dat die bakwerk van die

bakkie, wat halfpad in die lug gestaan het, nie weer terug op Michael val nie. Ná ongeveer ‘n uur, en met die hulp van die lewenskake, is Michael uitein­delik uit die wrak bevry en na die Zoutpansberg Privaathos­pitaal gehaas. Van daar is hy gestabiliseer en oorgeplaas na die MediClinic in Polokwane.

Daar moet hy bly vir twee weke, het Michael Vryda­goggend telefonies aan die Zoutpansberger gesê. Michael, onder sterk verdowing en in traksie, het gesê buiten sy bek­ken wat ernstig beseer is, het hy ook ‘n paar ribbes en sy middelvinger verstuit. Plaas­like polisiewoordvoerder kapt. Maano Sadike het Maandag bevestig dat ‘n saak van nalatige en/of roekelose bestuur teen die adjudant­offisier wat die vrag­motor bestuur het, ondersoek word. Die A/O is nie ernstig be­seer in die ongeluk nie. Bewer­ings deur ooggetuies dat hy van die ongelukstoneel sou probeer vlug het, is deur Sadike ontken.

Court rules farmer and foreman used reasonable force to remove attorney

It was a solemn occasion when the ratepayers met with the police to see whether pressure on the Makhado municipal manager could eventually re-sult in better service delivery. The meeting occurred while most parts of Louis Trichardt and surrounds struggle with a lack of water, a basic necessity.

The Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) requested the SAPS on 24 January to inves­tigate criminal charges against Mr Shadrack Tshikalange in his capacity as municipal manager and accounting officer of the municipality. This investigation will be in terms of the Municipal Finance Management Act (Act 56 of 2003) and according to the auditor general’s report for the fi ­nancial year ended 30 June 2010.

The SRPA, chaired by Ms Inga Gilfi llan, says that the report implies that the accounting offi ­cer, as well as the chief fi nancial officer had committed acts of financial misconduct, both in terms of disciplinary and criminal proceedings.

The station commander, Col Francis Ramovha, signed ac­knowledgement of receipt of all the documentation. “We will take your issues to the next level. Inga must not be able to say that we blocked the issues. We need to be transparent,” said Ramovha. He explained that the next level is the commercial unit in Polokwane and assigned Lt Col Monica Nemavhola to assist Gilfi llan to register the case.

Tshikalange was made aware of the impending investigation for criminal charges on 14 No­vember last year. He had 30 days to respond.

“Since the Makhado municipal council as well as the municipal manager failed to respond, we requested the police to investi­gate the municipal manager’s contravention of the MFMA,” Gilfi llan said.

A letter was also written to the Public Protector, Adv Thuli Ma­donsela. “We write in a desperate attempt to save our community as our services are lacking very far behind. We are a very concerned community regarding our local Makhado Municipality. Big fi ­nancial woes are extensively and widely hampering service deliv­ery and basic maintenance in our town, Louis Trichardt, and the bigger area surrounding us…” reads the letter. Concerning the 2009/2010 AG Report that issued a disclaimer of opinion regarding the fi nancial matters of the municipality, the SRPA said that there is “absolutely no regard for any fi nancial system, procedures or law”.

The AG Report of 2009/2010 stated that the accounting offi cer had not adhered to his statutory responsibilities.

He did not comply with his legislative responsibilities to implement effective, efficient and transparent processes of fi nancial and risk management. As a result, the municipality in­curred unauthorised expenditure.

Asset and liability management was not adhered to and proper record keeping and management were not in place. Oversight responsibility was not exercised over reporting and compliance by management with laws, regula­tions and internally designed policies and procedures.

The SRPA mentioned to the Public Protector that the mu­nicipality’s outstanding debts amount to R194million.

It is not the fi rst time that the SRPA has considered criminal charges against the municipal manager. In 2010, the SRPA served the municipal manager with a letter giving him 30 days to explain why possible criminal charges should not be laid, based on the 2008/2009 AG’s report. In February last year, the period to answer was extended by six months.

The SRPA received an answer to the effect that the municipal manager was not in offi ce during the time referred to by the AG’s report. The possible charges were laid to rest.

“This time round that excuse will not hold. We are driving the process in the faith that service delivery will return to normal and that taxpayers will get value for their money. We have no vendetta against the municipal manager, “ said Gilfillan on Tuesday.

In response, Tshikalange told the Zoutpansberger that he would respond to the issue on Friday this week.

Die trane het gevloei tydens vonnisoplegging van ‘n jong man van Louis Trichardt in die plaaslike landdroshof.

Die 28­jarige Rudi Barker van Louis Trichardt is Maandag sewe jaar direkte gevangenisstraf opgelê. Dit was tydens sy von­nisoplegging dat nie net hy nie, maar ook sy ma en pa gehuil het.

Barker het tereg gestaan op een klag van intimidasie, die onwet­tige besit van ‘n vuurwapen en die roekelose bedreiging van ‘n persoon. Dié aanklagte teen hom het verband gehou met ‘n voorval op 20 Desember verlede jaar.

Barker, wat gedurende die einde van verlede jaar vervreem

geraak het van sy vrou, het op dié dag sy driejarige dogtertjie by hom gehad. Hy is aanvank­lik aangekla nadat die ma die polisie gekontak het om haar te help om haar dogtertjie terug te kry. Die ma het die polisie se hulp ingeroep nadat Barker haar gekontak het en gedreig het om die dogtertjie te skiet en daarna homself. Hy het glo die vuur­wapen by ‘n familielid gesteel.

Volgens die Staat se getuienis is selfs ‘n polisiehelikopter op­gekommandeer om na Barker en die meisie te help soek.

Barker is opgespoor en het sedert Desember agter tralies gesit. Hy het tydens sy hofver­

skyning Maandag skuldig gepleit op aldrie die klagte teen hom en ‘n pleitooreenkoms met die Staat aangegaan.

Hy het tydens sy betoog ter vonnisversagting emosioneel gepleit dat sy straf na vyf jaar verminder word.

“My kind is my alles; ek sal enige iets doen om meer tyd saam met haar te spandeer,” het ‘n hui­lende Barker gesê. Die landdros het egter by die oorspronklike ooreenkoms gehou en Barker aangemoedig om hulp te kry.

“Die doel met hierdie vonnis is nie om u te straf nie, maar om u te help rehabiliteer,” het landdros Pat Cloete gesê.

A suspect in a number of stock theft cases in Giyani, George Ndukwana from Mbatlo vil-lage, was found dead between Phalawubeni and Makhuva vil-lage near Giyani last Tuesday morning.

The 40­year­old man was found in a pool of blood with a bullet wound to his head, next to his burnt­out Isuzu bakkie.

According to Col Mohale Ra­matseba, two carcasses of cattle, two pangas (knives) and an axe were found at the scene.

Ndukwana was due to appear

before the Giyani Magistrate’s Court on 24 January on charges of stock theft.

Meanwhile, the burnt­out bak­kie is said to belong to one of the butcheries in Giyani that cannot be named until the arrest is finalised.

Ramatseba warned people against taking the law into their hands, saying: “The killing of a suspected stock thief is strongly condemned.”

The cattle farmers’ union in Giyani said the problem of stock theft in the area was very seri­

ous, because even if the suspects were arrested, they were simply released on technicalities.

“The situation is such that we’ve even accepted that cattle are being stolen somewhere every day.

“It is a matter of whose cattle are being stolen at what particular point,” said Mr Javulani Mashele, representing the cattle farmers in the area.

According to him, the main culprits in the stock theft cases are those who own butcheries and catering companies.

Suspected stock thief gunned down

Op die vooraand van volwaardige belydende lidmaatskap het die senior kategese van die NG Kerk Soutpansberg-gemeente die afgelope naweek hul belydeniskamp bygewoon by Lianga Lodge naby LMB Makhado. Die doel van die kamp was om die jong volwassenes te vergewis van wat presies hulle beloof tydens belydenisaflegging en die verantwoordelikhede wat daarna op hul skouers rus. Daar was egter ook heelwat tyd vir bietjie pret en ontspanning. Ondermeer is daar binne ‘n plaasdam tougetrek tot groot genot van almal.

Ratepayers opt to keep money in trustAt a meeting of the Soutpansberg Ratepayers Association (SRPA) last week, the members of the association voted unanimously to continue withholding rates and taxes from the local mu-nicipality. This in spite of the threat of electric-ity cuts to members of the association by the municipality.

The meeting was attended by the chairman of the national ratepayers union (NRU), Mr Jaap Kelder. He gave a short address and answered some questions from the members present. He warned that service delivery in the whole country is on the verge of imploding, largely due to financial mismanagement on the part of the central and provincial governments. He compared the situa­tion to a dam wall which will shortly overflow or break.

Kelder also indicated that, in spite of the ver­dict of the Court of Ap­peals on the Olga Rade­man case in Kroonstad, which states that munic­ipalities have the right to cut off the electricity supply of members who are paying for electricity but withholding rates and taxes, magistrate’s courts all over the country keep on granting interdicts to restore their electricity. The NRU intends to go to the Constitutional Court regarding this matter.

Kelder also stressed that the government is taking note of the disputes declared by ratepayers associations and that this is causing discomfort in government circles, despite its apparent lack of concern and the outright condemnation that such action is illegal.

He mentioned that the NRU had been on the verge of signing an agreement with the local gov­ernment association (SALGA), which stated that local governments and ratepayers associations

would work together in addressing service delivery problems, when SALGA chose to withdraw from the process.

Another interesting point raised by Kelder was that of a canton system, such as the one employed in Switzerland. That country is divided into 26 cantons that are mostly independent, with a federal government which deals with matters pertaining to all the cantons.

Each canton has its own parliament (much like our provinces) which takes decisions on how that canton is run. The government of each canton is elected by the people, not on a party­political basis,

but on merit. Kelder is of the view that this system could work very well locally.

M e m b e r s o f t h e Downtown Ratepay­ers Association were present and made some valuable comments and recommendations on the matters addressed. The most important fact that emerged was that everyone was affected in the same way by the

service delivery problems, regardless of ethnicity and geographical location. Questions were asked about the money accumulated thus far and what to do with it, since some people are reluctant to join because they feel that the SRPA needs to use the money to address some of the problems in town. The matter was put to the vote, and once again it was decided not to use the money for a specific project, even though many problems exist. It was felt that the money held in trust provided the SRPA with some leverage for negotiation.

The meeting closed with a call by some of the members present that more members need to be enlisted to make the process more inclusive and to increase the association’s bargaining power.

NRU chairman says although municipalities

have the right to cut off the electricity supply of members,

magistrate’s courts all over the country keep on granting

interdicts to restore their electricity.

The chairperson for SAMWU, Mr Elvis Tlou (pictured), and his team allege that malpractices had taken place during the awarding of the “diary tender”.

Three months after the Makhado Municipality promised to pay workers for their overtime services, nothing has been done from the side of the municipality and workers are getting more and more impatient.

In an effort to come to an agreement with the municipality, workers and their representatives, namely SAMWU and IMATU, requested an urgent meeting with the top management of the municipal­ity to address the issue of outstanding payment for overtime worked during the months of October, November and December 2011.

According to the acting municipal manager, Mr T Ralulimi, municipal workers qualify for payment of 40 hours overtime. However, more hours can also be added in times of emergency when there is a shortage of staff. Payment of those hours is calculated and paid separately.

It was heard during the meeting held on 19 January that the municipal manager, Mr Shadrack Tshikalange, had said in the earlier meeting that all available money had been used to pay the company that had tendered for the “2012 municipal diary”. That statement alone enraged the workers, who demanded to see all the diary records to verify if the bidding and awarding of the diary tender had gone according to law.

According to the chairperson for SAMWU, Mr Elvis Tlou, they then realised that malpractices had taken place during the awarding of the diary tender. Records tell that there were two bidders who competed for the tender. The fi rst bidder had 95 points and had charged R191 280 for the entire diary service, while the second bidder had fewer points, namely 49.81 but charged R301 730 for rendering the service. All the same, the tender was awarded to the second bidder, despite the fact that their services were too expensive and that the work they presented was shoddy, Mr Tlou stated.

“It’s funny that workers’ monies were given to an individual,” said Mr Elvis Tlou. “According to information we got, this company has been awarded the diary tender three times in succession. They always win this tender, even before they register on

the municipality’s database. We’re now prepared to take this matter up with the big offi ces in the land!”

Meanwhile, SAMWU and workers called for a motion of agreement to be drafted and signed by the acting municipal manager, Mr Ralulimi. In the agrteement it was eventually stated and agreed upon that workers will get their pay of “forty (40) hours maximum, including all emergency hours, in full during the month of January 2012”.

“It’s January now and I need this money, so I can pay for my daughter’s fees at university,” said one worker in the meeting hall.

Despite the fact that the Makhado Municipality has entered into an agreement to pay the workers, disillusioned workers are calling for all municipal executive members who are involved in the tender saga and the fi nancial administration to step down.

Apart from its new look, the Zoutpansberger’s website (www.zoutpansberger.co.za) offers rea ders a new calendar entry service on their Events Page.

Visitors to the website can now list their calendar entries for upcoming events on the Events Page themselves. It is as easy as merely logging in on the Events Page through your

existing Google, Facebook or Twitter accounts and uploading your entry. The entry will, however, not appear immediately as it has to go through a moderation process fi rst.

In addition, sport club administrators (and for that matter church and school administrators) can contact us to directly submit events on the Events Page without a moderations process. If

an administrator is listed as a user on the site, their calendar entries will show immediately. This function allows administrators to update events through the year on a platform used by ten others publications throughout the province as part of both a local and provincial calendar.

Daar is hoofsaaklik Bonsmaras, Bovelders en ‘n klein aantal Hugenote verkoop, met koeie en kalwers (3:1) wat vir ‘n gemiddeld van R15 818 (hoogste R17 750) verkoop en koeie en kalwers wat vir ‘n gemiddeld van R14 106 (hoogste R18 250) onder die hamer kom.

Dragtige verse behaal ‘n gemiddelde prys van R12 800 (hoogste R16 000), terwyl dragtige koeie en oop verse opgeveil word vir gemid­delde pryse van onderskeidelik R9 965 (hoogste R12 500) en R8 108 (hoogste R9 300). Tollies verkoop vir ‘n gemiddeld van R5 162 (hoogste R6 500) en osse vir ‘n gemiddeld van R7 600.

Die veiling het ‘n totale omset van R5 210 050 opgelewer en is aangebied deur Vleissen­traal Bosveld. Die afslaer was mnr. Willie Roux van Louis Trichardt.

Jannemari Fourie was die enigste leerling wat op grond van haar prestasie gedurende die November 2011 eksamen gekies is tot lid van Hoërskool Eric Louw op Musina se akademiese A-span vir Graad 8. Foto verskaf.

Mnr. Lampie Schoeman het einde verlede jaar afgetree na 39 jaar se diens by die plaaslike munisipaliteit in Louis Trichardt. Tot sy aftrede was hy vir etlike jare verbonde aan die gesondheidsafdeling. Lampie het inwoners versoek om daarvan kennis te neem dat hy afgetree het en derhalwe nie meer inwoners se klagte rondom munisipale aangeleenthede kan hanteer nie. “Talle mense het my hierdie week geskakel oor die watertekorte, maar ongelukkig kan ek hulle nie meer hiermee van hulp wees nie,” het Lampie gesê.

Hierdie drie leerlinge van Hoërskool Eric Louw in Musina is op grond van hulle akademiese prestasies tydens die November 2011 eksamens verkies tot die skool se Graad 9 akademiese A-span. Van links is K. Jadeja, C. Sitauze en M. Thiart. Foto verskaf.

Mr Takalani Khomola, the acting station man-ager of Makhado FM, announced on Tuesday that the station has fired Mr Moses Muneri as station manager. This follows several weeks of turmoil at the community radio station where a power struggle played out amidst allegations of theft and corruption.

Khomola warned businesspeople this week to be very careful when dealing with Mr Muneri, who he said was going around town asking for sponsor­ships. "Muneri is no longer the station manager of Makhado FM," Khomola stressed. According to him, Muneri was suspended before he was eventu­ally fired last week. Khomola added that he was in possession of a letter to fire Muneri, but he claims that the letter could not be handed to Muneri as he was not answering his phone.

Muneri made the news over the past month when he was arrested for allegedly stealing the station's radio transmitter. He appeared in court on January 11 and was released on bail. The case was postponed to Thursday, 26 January. The outcome of the court case was, however, not yet available at the time of going to press.

Attempts to reach Muneri for comment this week were unsuccessful. His cell phone kept on ringing and he did not respond to messages.

Makhado FM has been in the spotlight for the wrong reasons on several occasions during the past couple of years. The station managed to build up a huge debt, not paying the landlord and also default­ing on other bills. The outstanding bill for rent was rumoured to be in excess of R700 000. Creditors were at the point of selling the station's equipment to pay the bills at the end of 2011. The creditors included the local municipality, who seemed to have turned a blind eye at the escalating debt.

While the power struggles continued, the station did not succeed in winning the hearts of the listen­ers. The listenership figures dropped dramatically

and currently stand at 23 000 (RAMS for December 2011). This figure, however, presents a total weekly figure, which means that the number of listeners at any given time is a couple of thousand.

The station also came under pressure for not ad­hering to legal requirements such as having proper annual general meetings where audited financial statements are made available to members of the public. As a Section 21 company, the community radio station is obliged to operate in a transparent manner and involve the local community in its operations.

Attempts to reach Mr Robert Makatu of Icasa were unsuccessful. Icasa is the regulatory body that should see to it that the license conditions are adhered to.

Makhado FM confirms firing Muneri as station manager

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

Belydenis of verdediging? ­ 1 Samuel 19:1-10

Mense wat altyd op die verdediging is, is benoude, beangste mense. Om hulle angs

en onrus te verwerk word hulle al hoe meer verdedigend en die lewe word al hoe meer ingewikkeld. In hierdie gedeelte van Saul se lewe sien ons hoe ‘n verdedigende houding verhoudings en potensiaal vernietig.

Alles het in koning Saul se guns getel. (1 Samuel 9:2). Tog was hy die karakter in die Ou Testament wat die meeste op verdediging was. Sy verdediging vloei uit sy onsekerheid oor homself. Dit laat hom doen wat genoem word “projeksie”. Projekteer jou sonde op ander. Jy kan dit nie in jouself verduur nie, nou word dit op ‘n ander geprojekteer en van ‘n veilige afstand veroordeel jy hulle. ‘n Toets hiervoor is wanneer jy met woede iets veroordeel in ‘n ander se lewe. Saul het ‘n obsessiewe jaloesie op Dawid gehad. Dawid wen oorloë en die hart van ‘n volk. Saul kry dit nie reg nie en sien Dawid as ‘n bedreiging. Wanneer ‘n mens van Saul lees kry jy die prentjie van ‘n man wat, alhoewel hy koning is, nie in beheer is nie.

Hoe kan ons so iets in ons lewens oorwin of verhoed dat dit posvat?

a) Waak, moenie verder sondig nie. (v.4)Dit gaan nie hier oor “wat het dit met ander

te doen nie”, maar jou siel waarvoor Jesus gesterf het. (Hebreërs 10:31) Dit is verskriklik om in die hande van die lewende God te val.

b) Sonder belydenis van sonde is daar geen oorwinning nie. (Verse 9&10)

Daar is geen oorwinning in sonde nie, wel oor sonde. Ps. 37:5: Laat jou lewe aan die Here oor en vertrou op Hom; Hy sal sorg.

c) Almal ly of baat deur een persoon. (vers 5).

Dink aan Agan se sonde. (Josua 7).Maar dank God daar is ook die positiewe.

Baie baat by een se liefde en getrouheid. Deuteronomium 7:9: “Weet dan nou: die Here jou God, Hy is God. Hy is die betroubare God wat Sy verbond in stand hou en Sy troue liefde betoon tot aan die duisendste geslag van hulle wat Hom liefhet en Sy gebooie gehoorsaam.”

Moenie jouself verdedig oor sonde in jou lewe nie, wees ‘n seën vir ander, bely jou sonde en dien die Here opreg.

sonder water gelaat word, sonder enige verduideliking of verskoning van die kant van die Makhado Muni­sipaliteit, is nie net ‘n onverskoonbaar vrotsige gebrek aan elementêre bes­kaafde maniere nie, dit kom gevaarlik naby aan kriminele onverantwoorde­likheid.

Sonder water is lewe onmoontlik. ‘n Onbepaalde onderbreking van die watertoevoer aan ‘n gemeens­kap skep dus ‘n lewensbedreigende krisissituasie, waaroor die owerhe­idsliggaam wat (teen onbehoorlik buitensporige vergoeding) moet

sorg vir waterverskaffi ng, eenvoudig presies heeltemal niks doen nie. Trouens, herhaalde navrae deur inwoners word met aggressiewe onbeskoftheid geïgnoreer. Almal wat regstreeks gemoeid is by dié demonstrasie van arrogante slapsieligheid verbeur inderdaad hul reg en bevoegdheid om in hul poste aan te bly. Dit sluit almal in: Van die pomp operateur tot die burge­meester ­ (of is dié dalk saam met ‘n amptelike munisipale afvaardiging op nog ‘n betaalde ‘ werksvakansie’ in Sjina ?)

Ek wil begin deur vir Nella en Ben­nie by Telkom te bedank vir hulle

hulp en puik diens.Dan wil ek vir Telkom vra of

hulle mense nie die werk kan doen nie of te lui is om die werk te doen? Ek het ná ‘n maand se wag om my telefoon te skuif (hier was drie Telkom tegnikusse wat elke keer sou terugkom, maar ek het hulle nooit weer gesien nie), by Nella gaan aanklop en na twee dae is my

telefoon deur Bennie ingesit en hy werk.

Ek wil dus net vir Telkom vra om meer mense soos Nella en Bennie in diens te neem. Julle diens sal puik wees, want die ander mense is te sleg, te lui of hulle kan nie die werk doen nie.

Weereens vir Nella en Bennie – baie dankie.

A few snippets of “holy” humour

A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, “I know what the Bible means!”

His father smiled and replied, “What do you mean, you ‘know’ what the Bible means?”

The son replied, “I do know!”“Okay,” said his father. “What does the

Bible mean?”“That’s easy, Daddy ...” the young boy

replied excitedly, “It stands for ‘Basic Infor-mation Before Leaving Earth.’

There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country.

“Is there anything breakable in here?” asked the postal clerk.

“Only the Ten Commandments,” an-swered the lady.

========

“Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, “Good morning, Lord,” and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, “Good Lord, it’s morning.”

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn’t fi nd a space with a meter.

Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: “I have circled the block 10 times. If I don’t park here,

I’ll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.”

When he returned, he found a citation from a police offi cer along with this note “I’ve circled this block for 10 years. If I don’t give you a ticket I’ll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.”

========

There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congre-gation: “I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it’s still out there in your pockets.”

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humour, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign ... “Energy effi cient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust.”

A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, “Boys and girls, what do we know about God?”

A hand shot up in the air. “He is an artist!” said the kindergarten boy.

“Really? How do you know?” the teacher asked.

“You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven ...”

A minister waited in line to have his car fi lled with petrol just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him. Fi-nally, the attendant motioned him towards a vacant pump.

“Reverend,” said the young man, “I’m so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.”

The minister chuckled, “I know what you mean. It’s the same in my business.”

========

People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention.

Be careful about those assumptions

At the fi nal dinner of an international conference, an American delegate turned to the Chinese delegate sitting next to him, pointed to the soup and asked somewhat condescendingly, ‘Likee soupee?’

The Chinese gentlemen nodded eagerly.A little later, it was ‘Likee fi shee?’ and

‘Likee meatee?’ and ‘Likee fruitee?’ and always the response was an affable nod.

At the end of the dinner the chairman of the conference introduced the guest speaker of the evening: none other than the Chinese gentleman who delivered a penetrating, witty discourse in impeccable English, much to the astonishment of his American neighbour.

When the speech was over, the speaker turned to his neighbour and with a mis-chievous twinkle in his eye and asked, ‘Likee speechee?’

Monument unveiled to commemorateevent which sparked Morant saga

Huge damage caused by recent floods

A monument to commemorate the event that sparked the highly controversial “Breaker” Morant saga was recently unveiled.

Lieutenant Harry “Breaker” Morant is a controversial figure and a legend in Australia. He was in command of the largely Australian Bushveldt Carbineer regiment in the Anglo Boer War (1899­1902) at the time when the regiment murdered prison­ers of war.

The BVC activities and skir­mishes took place in the Sout­pansberg and the Letaba area. Lts Morant and Peter Hancock were found guilty of murder of 12 prisoners of war and executed before a firing squad in Pretoria on 27 February 1902.

Morant was made famous with the release of the film Breaker Morant in 1980. About two years ago, Morant once again made headlines when Australia requested Brittain to review the case and pardon Morant and Hancock. In November 2010, the royal pardon was officially rejected.

But what event sparked the killing spree of the BVC? The monument that was unveiled on the farm Duivelskloof on 10 December last year gives the answer in granite.

“In the early morning hours of 6 August 1901 the BVC support­ed by warriors (about 300) from

nearby Modjadji, attacked the house of Cmdt Herklaas Viljoen, where members of the Letaba Commando overnighted… Re­prisal attacks by the Bushveldt Carbineers led to some contro­versial incidents, eventually a court martial and the execution of Lieutenants “Breaker” Morant and Peter Hancock,” reads the inscription.

On the BVC side, Captain Percy Hunt and Sergeant Frank Eland died in the attack, now referred to as the “night attack”. On the Boer side, Veld Cornet Barend Viljoen, his brother J.J.Viljoen and G. Hartzenberg died.

Lt Morant blamed the Boer Commando for both the death and mutilation of the body of his friend, Capt Hunt. He swore that from then on they would “take no more prisoners”. Floris Visser, wounded in the night attack, was the first of many victims to be killed.

The monument is in honour of those who died during, or as a result of, the attack on the Viljoen homestead.

The monument was unveiled by Ms Annette van Rensburg, grand­niece of Veld Cornet Barend Viljoen, together with Ms Margaret Barrett, granddaughter of Sgt Frank Eland. Despite the war, the two families have been friends for more than a century. This is the only monument on

the Bushveldt Carbineer route to have an English as well as an Afrikaans inscription.

At the unveiling, the master of ceremonies, Prof Louis Chan­guion, sketched the background to the Bushveldt Carbineers. Mr Charles Leach of Louis Trich­ardt, assisted by Mr Hansie van Schalkwyk, whose grandfather was present on the verandah during the night attack, gave an overview of how the attack could have unfolded.

The clearing of invader bush surrounding the ruins of the once large Viljoen homestead on land belonging to Mr Piet van Niekerk and the building of the monument were done by Mr Theo Dicke, his son Fritz, and a team of workers from their farm.

This is the second­last monu­ment to be erected on the Bush­veldt Carbineers Route.

“The last monument will be erected on Ballymore at the mass gravesite of the eight Burghers shot by the BVC on 23 August 1901. This monument will mark the completion of the objective of providing future generations with granite information tablets detailing the events surrounding each specific site with relevance to the period of occupation of the Zoutpansberg/Spelonken and Letaba areas by the Bushveldt Carbineers. This event will hope­fully take place later this year,” said Leach.

A monument was unveiled on the farm Duivelskloof on 10 December last year in honour of those who died during, or as a result of, the night attack of the Bushveldt Carbineers on the Letaba Commando on 6 August 1901. This event has “sparked” the “Breaker” Morant episode and led to some controversial incidents, eventually a court martial and the execution of Lieutenants “Breaker” Morant and Peter Hancock. The monument was unveiled by Ms Annette van Rensburg, grand-niece of Veld Cornet Barend Viljoen, together with Ms Margaret Barrett, granddaughter of Sgt Frank Eland (BVC). From left are Mr Charles Leach, expert on the BVC skirmishes history, Ms Annette van Rensburg, Ms Margaret Barrett and Prof Louis Changuion. Photo supplied.

It will cost about R30million to rehabilitate the areas damaged by the recent floods in Limpopo.

According to a statement by the Limpopo

Department of Agriculture (LDA), the most af­fected area is Maruleng Municipality in the Mopani District and particularly at The Oaks, Finale and Bazayne settlements. Affected commodities in­clude horticultural crops such as citrus, avocado, mangoes, and tomatoes as well as maize.

The damage to infrastructure also includes irriga­tion equipment, fencing, soil conservation works, irrigation dams and store rooms and pack houses.

The estimated crop loss is close to R6million, while the estimated infrastructure loss is about R21million. Limpopo MEC for Agriculture Ms Dipuo Letsatsi­Duba says although the LDA has a policy of not compensating farmers, her depart­ment has been touched by the loss of crops and infrastructure. She says her team will finish the entire assessment within the next few days.

Rotary Louis Trichardt and Rotary Anns, as well as other anonymous sponsors, donated 70 suitcases and stationery to needy children at Louis Trichardt Primary School. From left are Ms Melanie Denner, who heads up the Help-A-Child project, Ms Carole Went (Rotary Ann President), Leandri Muller (deputy-headgirl), André Viljoen (deputy-headboy), Chris van Wyk (headboy), Emené jordaan (headgirl) and Ms Stienie Fourie (vice-principal).

From a sandwich for one needy child, to daily sandwiches for 36 children and a weekly feed-ing scheme for several families … now Help-a-Child has provided suitcases and stationery to indigent children.

This time round, the Rotary and Rotary Anns, as well as other anonymous sponsors, donated 70 suitcases and stationery to impoverished primary school children.

The time has also come for the project to expand to the high school.

How did Help­a­Child, a project run by Ms Mela­nie Denner, in conjunction with Louis Trichardt Primary School, originate? “About three years

ago, my son, who was 11 at the time, noticed that a classmate did not have sandwiches to eat during break time. So, we sent an extra sandwich to school every day. Then my son noticed that the siblings of the friend also did not have sandwiches … and others … and the sandwich project was born,” said Ms Denner. At first she made everything by herself, but nowadays she relies on sponsors for the bread and spreads. Ladies from the Full Gospel Church and Agapé Christian Centre take turns to prepare the sandwiches. “Every bit of help is welcomed. For some of these children, that sandwich is the only meal they get for the day,” said Denner.

The project expanded to preparing boxes with

non­perishable food, cleaning materials and toi­letries. At first, two boxes were prepared, but as the school identified more needy families, the number of boxes has grown to 16. Once again Help­a­Child relies on sponsors.

Denner now has a store room at the Full Gospel Church and people are welcome to donate the school uniforms and shoes that their children have outgrown. Last winter, Rotary sponsored 70 blankets. “We also realised that some children were losing their stuff because their suitcases were in such a bad condition. Their books are also not covered. That’s how the suitcase and stationery project was born,” said Denner.

Ms Stienie Fourie, vice­principal of the school, confirmed that poverty was escalating at the school. “We are so grateful for the suitcases and stationery and all the different facets of assistance by Help­A­Child,” Fourie said on 24 January.

This year, Denner’s son is in secondary school. “The school has been open for only a few days and he has already told me that he has identified needy children. Help­a Child would like to extend to secondary­school children as well. We welcome any kind of help or donations,” said Melanie Denner, who can be contacted on 082 927 8215.

The 1600m² building boasts a covered display area for both new and secondhand vehicles, as well as a parts and service department. According to Mr Johan Gilfi llan (owner) the decision was taken to move the dealership from the town’s central business area to its new location because of the lack of parking at its previous location.

Four graduates from Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, Catherine Alsford, Faith Burns, Melissa Grippin and Melanie Russ, decided that their love for conservation was important enough to volunteer their time in rural Africa in the name of environmental education. Together with local environmentalist Judy van Schalkwyk, they traveled to three rural schools in the WESSA/WWF Eco-Schools Blouberg Node in Limpopo to spread their conservation fever. They gave lectures to the pupils on important eco-schools topics, such as global climate change and how to create and care for a permaculture garden properly. Laughter and learning went hand in hand during these lessons, ensuring a positive future for both the learners and their relationship with the environment. In the Blouberg area, the Eco-Schools Programme has been supported by De Beers since 2005, and in 2011 alone, 6 010 pupils and 187 teachers have been reached.

Closed: sign boards at the Thathe Vondo bridge.

Barely a month after two bridges were offi cially opened in Vhembe, one of them is now closed for traffi c, while one is partly operational and workers are still busy with construction.

The multimillion­rand Thathe Vondo and Kha­lavha bridges, which collapsed two years ago, were constructed last year. The collapse of the two bridges adversely affected commuters from the Nzhelele area and those in the Thohoyandou area, as they were cut off from each other.

The bridges were opened prematurely towards the end of last year by Roads and Transport MEC Pinkie Kekana.

To the dismay of the communities, it later emerged that the bridges had been opened, even though it was clear that they were not complete. The closure of the bridges had left the local com­munities furious and they are now pointing an ac­cusing fi nger at the MEC, whom they labelled as a "charmer who just wanted to capture the confi dence of the people."

Others feel their lives have been put at risk by letting them drive across incomplete structures that could collapse.

After an outcry from the community, Mirror conducted an investigation, which revealed that the Thathe Vondo bridge was indeed completely closed to traffi c and construction workers were at the site, busy with construction. Engineers and the contractor were at the site, assessing the work which still needed to be done.

At the Khalavha bridge, only one lane of the road was in operation, as construction workers were still busy working at the site. Both bridges run the risk of collapse if it should rain, as the soil on both sides of the road is not supported.

A member of Cope in the provincial legislature, Tshilidzi Ravhuanzwo, described Kekana as a "reckless leader, who does not care for the lives of the people of Vhembe" for opening the two bridges prematurely.

“Kekana has total disregard for people’s lives. How can a right­minded person open a bridge which she knows could put people’s lives at

MEC under fi re after opening bridgesrisk? What if the bridge had collapsed and killed people?” asked Ravhuanzwo.

“These people have failed the province and they are now putting the lives of the people in danger in the name of service delivery. We are not going to let this matter die down without scrutiny; we will take up the matter in the legislature,” said a fuming Ravhuanzwo.

A spokesperson for the Department of Roads and Transport, Thesan Moodley, denied that the bridges were incomplete but confi rmed that the Khalavha bridge was using only one lane while workers com­pleted the fi nishing touches. He also confi rmed that the Thate Vondo bridge was completely closed, as workers are still on site.

On the issue of opening both of them at the same time, even though there was some work still to be done, Moodley said: ”It would have been more costly for the MEC to open one bridge and come back and open another. The MEC had to make a token opening to save costs,” said Moodley.

Die Limpopo Blou Bulle Skeidsreg-tersvereniging het Saterdag hul jaar-likse bosberaad in Polokwane gehou en ook ’n welkome fi nansiële hupstoot vir die nuwe seisoen ontvang.

Mnr. Johan Parsons, die direkteur van die Canon Business Centre in Polok­wane, wat die vereniging se hoofborg is, het bevestig dat Canon vanjaar hul

vennootskap met die skeidsregters gaan voortsit. As deel van die drie­jaar­lange vennootskap het Canon verlede jaar nuwe uitrustings aan die skeidsregters voorsien. Vanjaar bestaan die borgskap uit geld.

Die vereniging het vanjaar ’n klompie nuwe lede bygekry en Canon se borgs­kap maak dit moontlik om ook aan hulle

splinternuwe uitrustings te voorsien.Parsons het weer bevestig dat dit

vir Canon ’n voorreg is om by rugby betrokke te wees en dat die Limpopo Skeidsregtersvereniging hulle trots maak. Hulle sien uit na nog ’n seisoen, wanneer skeidsregters hul naam op die veld gaan dra.
