n an unprecedented display of arrogance, the acting municipal manager of the Thaba Chweu local I

municipality, Mr Surprise Maebela failed to meet with an inspection team of the Human Rights Commission. The inspection stems from a DA request to have the municipality investigated, as they believed that its lack of accountability and its failure to provide even the most basic of services to residents, may be in violation of Chapter 2 of the Constitution. After studying their request and the attached evidence, the HRC agreed to investigate possible human rights violations on 13 September last year.

This is the second time that the accounting officer of this municipality failed to meet with the HRC's inspection team, as on 19 March 2013, former municipal manager Burton Khoma was too busy fighting for his own political survival than to be bothered to address the needs of the community. According to the DA, Mr Maebela's failure to meet with the HRC clearly exposes his arrogance and disregard for the democratic order of the country. The HRC was specifically created to protect and promote the human rights of all South Africans, is impartial, subject only to the Constitution, and accountable to the National Assembly. In

fact, Mr Maebele's actions show his complete disdain for the Constitution of South Africa and the rights of our people. The DA is extremely concerned over the potential consequences this may have on service delivery, as Mr Maebele's stalling tactics will simply prolong residents' suffering under a local administration hell-bent on the complete destruction of their quality of life. According to the DA, the people of Thaba Chweu need a DA-led local administration, which is sensitive to their service delivery needs, and puts the rule of law and the rights of the people before their own selfish interests.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.~ Dalai Lama

Op Mandeladag, het Pikkie Landsberg eienaar van LDR Pets vir LAPSAR

hondekos geskenk. Op die foto oorhandig sy die hondekos aan Frik

Rousseau, direkteur van LAPSAR. Frik het haar bedank en genoem

dat sy baie vir LAPSAR doen. Hy het genoem dat as ons as mense broos is, dink

net hoe broos is die diere.

It was an honor for ASA Metals to spend their 67 Minutes of Service at Maputle Secondary School, assisting with cleaning up the school grounds. The program kicked off with the learners singing the National Anthem.

A special prayer for Tata Mandela was done by Me R R Kupa. The purpose of the day was explained to the children, and an introductory lecture was done by Mr M O Mashego. The local Councillor Mr, M T Lesinya told the kids more about Nelson

Mandela, Father of the Nation. Mr Alfred Masegare from ASA Metals gave his message to the children. All the teachers sang a song to commemorate Madiba. The school principal appreciated the work done by ASA Metals and the local Councillor. Everyone

spent their 67 minutes picking up papers on the school grounds.

67 Minutes by ASA Metals

Nelson Mandela International Day (or Mandela Day) is an annual international day in honour of Nelson Mandela, celebrated each 18 July (on Mandela's birthday). Mandela Day is not meant as a public holiday, but as a day to honour the legacy of Nelson Mandela,

South Africa's former President, and his values, through volunteering and community service.Mandela Day is a global call to action that celebrates the idea that each individual has the power to transform the world, the ability to

make an impact.The Mandela Day campaign message is: "Nelson Mandela has fought for social justice for 67 years. We're asking you to start with 67

minutes. We would be honoured if such a day can serve to bring together people around the world to fight poverty and promote peace and reconciliation," according to a statement issued on Mandela's behalf.

Sewe persone vas-gebind en met gewere aangehou buite Lydenburg

WAT n normale Donderdag moes wees het vir sewe mense het in n nagmerrie verander. Terwyl die res van die land Mandeladag gevier het, is hulle met gewere aangehou. Die vyf verdagtes het met gewere by die kantoor op n plot ingebars tussen 13:00 en 14:00 op Donderdag 18 Julie, te Potlootspruitplotte, buite Lydenburg.Die verdagtes het hulle as polisielede voorgedoen en het selfs die polisie se reflektorbaadjies gedra. Die mense se hande is vasgebind en van die verdagtes het die gewere op hulle bly rig terwyl die res van die verdagtes deur die eienaar van die plot se huis is. Daar is juwele gesteel, die kluis oopgebreek, rekenaars gesteel ens. Ek is net bly n vriendin kon haarself loskry. Ek het toe die kantoordeur oopgeskop. Niemand is beseer nie maar ons is gedreig dat hulle ons gaan seermaak. Ek wil hierdeur mense waarsku om nie altyd te vertrou dat dit polisie is nie, veral omdat die mans gewone klere saam met die reflektorbaadjies gedra het, het die vrou wat aangeval is ges.

ASA Metals (Pty) Ltd experienced a shortage of power supply on its four furnaces after the expansion that has necessitated an additional two Furnaces. Pursuant to the above situation, ASA Metals made an application to Eskom for upgrading of the capacity on the electricity supply. The only available substation then was the Leseding power supply situated at the Baroka ba Mashabela community in Driekop. Although this was an Eskom project to supply electricity to ASA Metals, ASA Metals assisted by also facilitating the acquisition of the Community Resolution as it is required by the Law. Without ASA Metals having intervened, it could have taken too long to obtain the Community Resolution; hence ASA Metals had an Agreement with the Baroka ba Mashabela Community to identify one of their most needed projects - The Water Project. An Agreement was entered into between the Baroka ba Mashabela community and the Company in line with ASA Metals Social Responsibility Initiatives. Hence, the company undertook to assist the community with water supply in honour of their Resolution to allow Eskom without any further delay, to connect electricity from Leseding Substation on the 11th of April 2010. The Community Resolution comprised of among other things such as; Water supply and waste rock supply, the latter was required to close the donga that made it difficult for the school kids to cross during rainy seasons when going to school. The second project was mainly to do with the water supply to the community and through the Leadership of the Honourable Chief Mashabela, and the Ward Councillor, Mr. Nkosi, six boreholes were identified. The company and the Mashabela community agreed that ASA Metals will foot the bills for electricity tariffs for the next twelve months from the inception date. The sixth pump was redirected to a new village section which was not initially agreed upon, hence the delay to relocate with additional costs beyond the budgeted amount of R250 000.00. ASA Metals can safely and proudly report that six pumps in various sections of the village of Baroka ba Mashabela are running in full capacity. ASA Metals, having a concern on the possible contamination of the water for human consumption, and also taking into cognisance that there are other mines operating in the same area, had acquired the services of a Laboratory company to test the water (in terms of boreholes capacity and possible contamination). For all the boreholes tested, only one borehole was reported to have high nitrate levels, and this borehole is not equipped. For all the activities regarding this project, including the testing of water and the results thereof, ASA Metals has made available a report to the Sekhukhune District Municipality for their perusal. As mentioned earlier, ASA Metals had an Agreement to foot the bill on the electricity tariffs for a period of twelve months to allow a smooth transition to the Sekhukhune District Municipality. The footing of the electricity tariff bills was supposed to have ended at the end of August 2012, but realising that the Sekhukhune District Municipality was not ready to take over due to budget constraints, ASA Metals Management extended electricity payments till the end of June 2013, after having made some arrangements with the Director of Infrastructure (Mr. M Machaba of the Sekhukhune District Municipality) who has been very helpful through the transitional arrangements. ASA Metals continued to

honour the water supply agreement even beyond the agreed period despite the poor economic situation of ASA Metals by ensuring its predetermined imperatives in terms of Social Responsibility Initiatives. The total value of these projects as at the end of June 2013 is R460 496.00. On the 16th of July 2013 an official hand-over ceremony was hosted by the company. The Sekhukhune Dis t r ic t Municipality Executive Mayor, Honourable Councillor MD Magabe co-unveiled the Project Board together with Mr Kleinjan du Toit, Chief Executive Officer of ASA Metals. ASA Metal's choir ensured a cheerful atmosphere. Members of the Royal Mashabela family attended, as well as members from the community. Honourable Magane from the Greater Tubatse Municipality appealed upon the community to take ownership of this property and to look after the infrastructure against among other things; vandalism and theft. He also appreciated the co-operation part of this project between Government and the Private Sector. Mr du Toit stated that prosperity will be sowed and nurtured back into the community once the current market situation improves. ASA Metals desire is to grow together with its communities and to help alleviate poverty, and this will only happen when the market conditions improve to the benefit of all our Stakeholders.

Die OutoppieRustigheid

OP Engels sou mens kon s dat die week uneventful was. Die nuus was soos die laaste paar weke gedomineer deur Mandela en 67 minute en sy nasate wat baklei vir glorie en geld. Aasvols, die lot.Daar was die Antie met die pers hare wie se man en sy meelopers lewenslank gekry het. Goed om te sien die regstelsel werk nog hier en daar.Maar ek wag nog vir die groot korrupsiesake en toepaslike

straf. Die ANC het weer n korrupte Premier geredeploy wat ANC praat is vir skuif hom net uit die kollig, met behoud van salaris en voordele. Wat n gemors! In Lydenburg ken ons dit met Burgermeesters en MMs wat herontplooi word om elders te gaan steel. In die Vrystaat is n senior ou gearresteer vir misdaad, maar die Vrystaatse premier weier om hom te skors ten einde nie sy goeie reputasie te beskadig nie. Jy sien! Kan iemand tog in die skole al vir kinders leer dat as jy misdaad pleeg of korrup is, jou reputasie reeds in sy moer in is! Die hardnekkige gebrek aan skaamte en n gewete verstaan ek nie. En dit is nie n kleur ding nie. Kyk na die konstruksiekartel wat pas ontbloot is. Whiteys met n agtergeblewe (swart) front!

Heelwat gesinsmoorde di week, wat wys dat ons in n besonder stresvolle tyd leef. Twee tragiese vliegongelukke. Baie tragiese motorongelukke. Dikwels omdat lisensies georganise kan word, vir n paar rand natuurlik. Ek ken n jong man met n bestuurderslisensie wat nog nooit n rathefboom kon baasraak nie, wat staan van wegtrek en reguit ry. En die ekonomie bly nukkerig.Gelukkig het mens vriende. Hulle het my laas-week laat saamry op n heerlike motorfietsrit. Dan vergeet jy van die gesukkel, die griep en elke ding. Dit is hoekom ek die week 67 minute aan myself bestee het. Ek is ook n verdienstelike geval!Baie mooi dinge het ook gebeur, soos di week se Kletskous. Baie geluk Lydenburg Laerskool en dankie vir die assosiasie. Julle maak ons almal trots. Mooiloop!

Psalm 36:3: Die goddelose het geen vrees vir God nie en praat net goed oor homself. Vader, beskerm ons teen die goddeloses en die hoogmoediges. Werk met hulle en bring hulle tot bekering - Amen.

Lelievlei is n aanwins vir LydenburgElsje du Plessis van Lydenburg skryf: Na aanleiding van u puik voorbladberig waar Lelievlei se inwoners water aanry vir persone wat nie water gehad het nie. Ons as gemeenskap weet ook dat die inwoners van

Lelievlei in die verlede al vullis weggery het met munisipale stakings en gehelp het om brande in die dorp te blus. Dankie aan die inwonders van Lelievlei en die direkteure Elaine van Staden en Frik Rousseau.

Lydenburg se brei-en-hekelprojekCHAIRMAINE Tai van Lydenburg het in samekwering met me. Hester van Zijl, MWI Finalis, die behoefte aan komberse in die gemeenskap weereens hierdie jaar aangespreek.Highlands Panorama Nuus het namens die damesgroep op 11 Julie Lydenburg se dames uitgenooi om saam n brei-en-hekelprojek aan te pak en sodoende in n japtrap warm komberse aanmekaar te slaan. Die blokkies gebrei of gehekel kan 20cmx20cm wees. Die dames wat saamwerk aan die brei-en-hekelprojek is Venessa Beytell en Zandra Reinecke. Hulle is verantwoordelik vir die uitsorteer een aanmekaar werk van die komberse, waar Lelanie van Staden van L a l l i e s e P l a a s k o m b u i s d i e hoofversamelpunt van die blokke is. Ons is verbaas oor hoe vinnig en gewillig ons dorp se dames was met die uitbrei van die projek. Ons kan nie genoeg dankie s vir die dames wat so fluks weggespring het en begin brei en hekel het nie. Ons het binne twee weke ons eerste kombers se blokke ingesamel en Zandra het vinnig begin aanmekaar werk. Dankie aan die dame wat twee klaargebreide abakombersies geskenk het.Ons kan met trots s Lydenburg het dinamiese dames.

De Villiers Du Plessis en Armand van der Linde, 2 leerders van Laerskool Lydenburg, het besluit om inwoners van Rusoord Tehuis vir Bejaardes te bederf en te help as deel van hul Vrywilligheidsprojek vir die skool. H u l l e h e t Vr y d a g a a n d f l u k s geskenkpakkies opgemaak, wat hul Saterdagoggend uitgedeel het. Daarna het die twee gehelp om vrugte te skil en saam met die mense van Rusoord te kuier. Die ondervinding het die twee laat besef hoe kosbaar oumas en oupas is en dat kinders en kleinkinders gereeld moet gaan kuier.

Kuier by die oumas en oupas van die dorp

AAR was eenmaal 'n jong prins wat die wreld platgereis het op soek na 'n ware Dprinses. Nrens kon hy egter s 'n vrou

vind nie en toe gaan hy maar terneergedruk terug na die paleis toe.Maar een stormagtige nags word in Hans Christian Andersen se sprokie Die Prinses en die Ertjie vertel, klop 'n jong meisie teen die paleishekke. Sy vra of hulle asseblief vir haar skuiling kan gee.En sy beweer dat sy 'n ware prinses is.Die koningin, wat haar aanspraak betwyfel, sluip die gastekamer binne, stroop die komberse, lakens en matras van die bed af en plaas 'n ertjie heel onder. Daarna stapel sy twintig matrasse op die bed, plus nog twintig dik verekomberse.Die volgende oggend vra die koningin die meisie of sy goed geslaap het. Ag, kla die gas, sy het 'n vreeslike nag agter die rug. 'n Harde klont in die bed het haar die hele nag gepla en haar lyf gekneus.Die verheugde koningin gaan vertel vir haar seun dat slegs 'n ware prinses s 'n delikate vel kan h. Uiteindelik het hy toe die droomvrou gevind na wie hy die hele tyd gesoek het.Die menslike vel is natuurlik wel hoogs sensitief. En vir die prinses was dit ook nie anders nie. Maar, nou ja, dis darem te dik vir 'n daalder om te wil beweer dat enigiemand 'n ertjie deur 'n hoop matrasse en donskomberse sal kan voel!Voel, hoor en sien. Nie soos 'n prinses nie, maar in die regte lewe. As een van hierdie sintuie van mens weggevat word sal dit verreikende gevolge h. Verbeel jou jy kan nie sien nie, voel nie, proe nie, ruik nie ens. Jou hele wreld word vertaal in tas-oomblikke. Verskillende dele van die tong het smaakknoppies wat verskillende smaaksensasies waarneem: suur aan die kante, soet in die middel, bitter agter en soet en sout by die punt. Die mens se gevoelsin, of tassin, is sy belangrikste sin sover dit oorlewing aangaan. As die vel sy gevoel verloor, kan die liggaam immers ernstig beseer word.Ons begin al meer in kokonne leef en o, behoede die kieme ens wat ons glo ander oordra, so ons vat nie meer aan mekaar nie. Met opnuutgevestigde lot van weeskinders en mense wat nie soveel voordele soos ons het nie, wonder mens oor watter sintuie mense al verloor het. En dit was nie hul keuse nie. En daar draai my rubriek na keuses uitvoer... en dit is 'n storie op sy eie.

GlencoreXstrata LydenburgWorks helps Wenakker

Wenakker Centre in Lydenburg was the recipient of a new industrial size tumble drier from GlencoreXstrata, Lydenburg Works. It was delivered on Mandela Day, 18 July.

The new tumble drier was a much needed item.

The Clinic at Lydenburg Hospital gave out soup and bread on 18 July as part of their 67 Minutes Campaign for Mandela Day. This was a welcome meal for the hundreds of patients that visited the Clinic. A bit of warmth and nourishment made the long wait more bearable. The Hospital would

like to thank all the sponsors who made this soup day possible.

ENTHEOS Christian School organises 67 minutes for Mandela Day.The Mandela Day campaign message is simple: Mr Mandela gave 67 years of his life fighting for the rights of humanity. All that is asked of others is to give 67 minutes of their time, whether it's supporting your chosen charity or serving your local community.Mandela Day is a call to action for individuals for people everywhere to take responsibility for changing the world into a better place, one small step at a time, just as Mr Mandela did.The most important objective of Mandela Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better, and in doing so build a global movement for good. Ultimately it seeks to empower communities everywhere. Take Action; Inspire Change; Make Every Day a Mandela Day. Excerpt from www.mandeladay.com

thStaff and Children from Gr 0 to Gr 11 participated in Mandela Day on 18 July 2013. Gr 0 Gr 1 children gave non-perishable items for the CMR, Gr 2 children made and decorated cupcakes and delivered them to Lydenburg Rusoord, enjoying the time spent with the men and ladies from there tremendously. Gr 3-4 children collected trash from various locations around the town, Gr 5-7 children collected dog food and went to LAPSAR to clean cages and play with the dogs after donating what they collected. Gr 8-11 children also made and decorated cupcakes but these were given to men and woman from the Police Force as well as the Prison Services. Thank you to staff and children who took action for change!

Waarna kyk voornemende kopers? Voornemende kopers is altyd op soek na waarde vir geld. Tans is daar heelwat wat op soek is na 'n goeie belegging en afspringplek vir 'n goeie gesonde ervaring in die eiendomsmark. Die meerderheid is op soek na eiendom onder R1 000 000. Veiligheid is 'n groot faktor (hoe veilig is dit om daar te bly, alarm, veiligheidskompleks, omheining, diefwering), die hoeveelheid instandhouding wat die huis verg (siersteen of verf, grootte van die tuin) en of die huis / meenthuis troeteldier vriendelik of nie.

Quick Sell Realty s: RE/MAX writes:Welcome back to the world of LED! In the first two articles, we have taken an in depth look at what the definition of LED is, who the role players are and then we went on to taking a serious look at the first steps to be taken before any LED project commences. Now that you have probably completed the first step as I mentioned previously taking an in depth look at in-house policies, budgets, levels of knowledge and involvement by senior management and also scrutinizing current and completed projects, we need to, as a next step, look into all people involved. To assure a high standard of project management and completion, we need the right people on the bus. And the ones who have hidden agendas or who are not 110% committed to the cause OFF the bus. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of keeping a tight rein on the involvement of all parties and their representatives involved. 1. In-House: As implementing/contributing company, you need a person/people with the right skills. There are many qualifications out there that are related to LED but there is no qualification that can fully prepare a person for LED implementation/coordination. There are however skills that are essential such as project management and keeping to deadlines as well as a drive towards excellence, financial acumen, negotiating skills, knowing ALL legislation and guidelines related to LED, not being afraid to get your hands dirty (strange things come across the path of a LED manager) and lastly a willingness to learn as you go along by reading (if you know little about the various projects, asking a hundred questions to people like engineers and listening to learn, is essential), attending workshops and learning from your mistakes.2. The Municipality: The municipality should not just be the leaders in the LED scenario, but the CHEER leaders. This person should, apart from having the qualification as required by the establishment for the position of Municipal LED Manger, also be a negotiator of note (it is his/her responsibility to negotiate with, when compiling the IDP, the affected communities and to discern between what are really priorities and what not, the Municipal Manger and Mayor right through to the contributing companies). This person must be a pedantic personality to assure detailed monthly reports to keep record of progress made or not! It is of course essential that this person be knowledgeable about all legislation related to the SLPs, DTI scorecard and other relevant guidelines distributed by government departments and global leaders in the LED field such as the World Bank. 3. The Effected Communities: For the contributing/implementing company, the involvement of the communities and in the process, involving the correct people or community bodies, is crucial to implementing the right projects. With this involvement it is important to remember that involving your communities is mainly through assisting them in attending the IDP meetings with the municipality and assuring that all voices are heard, noted and recorded. To give in to the pressures of meeting with community leaders in person and then even worse, to implement a project that is not part of the IDP will certainly open Pandora's Box. CSI projects are birds of a different color and although it is also wise to rely on the IDP for identification of those projects, consulting with e.g. the school principals or leaders of other bodies such as the disabled, can do no harm.Maybe it sounds to you as if you will never get round to implementing the actual projects but hold faith, when proper and thorough preparation has been done on all levels, implementation will be easier and successful!

EARLIER in 2013, I ran a column about the pitfalls and what you really ought to look out for when contemplating buying a second-hand car. In July, I turn my focus to purchasing a motorcycle. The caveats remain, but the end result should ensure legal, reliable and safe ownership.I recently came across a tatty little notebook of mine found in an old motorcycle jacket. Inside were guidelines about how to buy a good used bike, albeit some time ago when my garage was full of them, from a classic Velocette Venom to a Suzuki water buffalo and many others. Each and every bike had been through that checklist before ending up at my place. Id like to share some of the pointers with you to ensure a sound deal takes place. Firstly, and this may not seem obvious, heading towards spring as we are now is actually the perfect time to buy once the warm weather arrives prices definitely seem to go up.1 Paintwork - Check all painted parts carefully. Look for rust on metal parts and for cracks on plastic items. Side panels often have missing mounting-lugs.2 Chromed bits - Again look for rust. Chromed mudguards are particularly troublesome as they rot from the inside.3 Wheels and tyres Check for loose spokes, buckled / damaged wheels and the rims should be free from corrosion. Check tyres for remaining tread life, always a good bargaining tool if theyve seen better days.4 Wheel bearings - Grasp the tyre and try to rock the wheel on its spindle. If theres excessive play this could be a sign of a bike thats been neglected.5 Brakes - Discs can score badly and are expensive to replace, but more importantly check for cracks and determine existing brake-pad life. 6 Forks - These should move freely without leaking. Check for straightness, if theyre slightly bent it could be a sign of repair damage. Look for pitted stanchions, split boots and gaiters.7 Rear suspension Inspect the suspension in a similar fashion to the forks. You should make sure theres plenty of damping. The condition of

Tips for buying a pre-owned bike

these components will reveal how well the bike has been looked after.8 Chains and sprockets - Unless its one with shaft drive, check these parts carefully. Never confuse a loose chain with a worn one. If the chain lifts off the rear sprocket and exposes the teeth you are going to need a new rear chain and sprockets. Sadly these are never a cheap purchase.9 Exhaust - These items are costly and will always show signs of a road tumble, no matter how slight. Beware of after-market silencers unless top quality (Yoshimura, etc).10 Seat - Seat pans rot especially around the hinges. Check that the base and covers are sound and theres no sign of tears. 11 Elect ron ics - Check that everything works; indicators should flash even at low revs if the battery is in good condition. Has the wiring harness been tampered with or showing cracks in the headstock area? Good auto electricians are hard to come by.12 Modifications - Many bikes have modifications, consider if they suit you and always check how well theyve been done, especially regarding handlebar / fair ing replacements.Last but not least, be sure to ask for

verification that the bike has been paid for and all the licence and ownership papers are up to date. At the same time check that engine and frame numbers match the paperwork. If they dont, walk away.This shouldnt present a problem to a genuine seller. You dont want a stolen bike thats going to be repossessed, do you? Author: DAVE FALL -

OP Sondag 14 Julie het 16 mense, twee motors en agt motorfietse (sewe BMWs en een Yamaha), vroeg by die Heads bymekaar gekom en die pad gevat Josefdal toe. Die pretmotorfietsrit is deur Chris en Elsa Liebenberg gerel en ons is saam. Ma en Andrea in die Corsa en ek op die enigste Yamaha.Die groep het om halfagt die Longtompas gevat en tot by Crossings in Nelspruit, vir n vinnige pitstop gery. Oor die berg was dit koel en die son in ons o het bietjie gepla. Gelukkig is deesdae se fietsryklere goed in uiterste koue en die fietse se handgrepe het verhitting. Vanaf Crossing was dit uit Nelspruit met die mooi herboude pad af na Barberton. Hilltop af se draaitjies is baie skerp en mens moet stadig daar af en lig op die remme wees. By Barberton het n paar ouens volgemaak en ons is deur die dorp, by die privaathospitaaltjie verby en berg op, Josefsdal (Swaziland / Piggs Peak) se kant toe. Die eerste paar kilometer van di pad begin ook uitmekaar val en daar is groot slaggate en dele waar die teer wegspoel. Versigtigheid is die sleutelwoord.By Shiyalongubu dam verby, loop die teerpad met bykans 200 skerp draaitjies tot by die grenspos, waar Elsa vir ons n heerlike middagete / piekniek aangel het (dit is in Matilda se Corsa aangery). Na Josefsdal het ons omgedraai en is terug na Barberton, nadat ons verskeie kere stilgehou het om die pragtige berge van Mountainlands en Songimvelo te bewonder.n Paar ouens het brandstof gegooi en ons het afgedraai rigting Kaapmuiden deur die De Kaap Vallei en oor Louws Creek. Net voor die N4 het ons links gedraai en in plaas van deur die poort op die N4, is ons oor die berg op die Boulders / Mara pad, wat weer naby Nelspruit by die N4 aansluit. Op Nelspruit het ons by Brewers Feast (by die tarentaalkruising) gaan eet en ek het vir die eerste keer brandstof ingegooi.Totale afstand vir die dag was 428 kilometer. Tydsduur ingesluit al die stoppe was 9 ure. Brandstofverbruik op my Tenere was 23,6 kilometer per liter, wat heelwat beter was as op die vorige Tenere. Die groep het mooi gery en hulle spoed was so dat ons met Tom se 650 en my 660 kon byhou. Baie dankie aan Chris en Elsa en al die ander mense vir aangename geselskap en n wonderlike dag. n Woord van waarskuwing aan ander bikers wat die roete wil ry: As gevolg van die baie kort draaie en bergpasse kan jy nie jaag nie en jy moet dit kalm vat. Wees ook verseker dat di roete jou lyfie laat werk en dat jy lekker moeg sal wees as jy tuis kom. Groete tot volgende keer. Andre Coetzee.

Ons toets die Nissan NV200 Combi bussieONS het so n paar weke gelede in hierdie blaaie berig oor die nuwe Nissan NV200 en NV300 paneelwaens. Wel, hierdie week toets ons die eerste NV200 sewesitplek bussie. Hierdie is n kompakte 1600cc bussie en ding waarskynlik mee met die VW Caddy en die Toyota Avanza.Binne en buite is die Nissan aantreklik en goed toegerus. Daar is ses lugsakke, stabiliteitsbeheer, die normale ABS met EBD, 12 stoorplekkies, USB in vir die dubbel DIN radio / CD, wat goed klink, ritrekenaar, Bloutand en multifunksie stuurwiel. Daar is skuifdeure weerskante en die agterdeur maak groot oop. Beide middelste en agterste sitplekke kan opvou, wat baie pakplek laat.Die instrumentpaneel het net een groot klok vir snelheid, maar daar is etlike waarskuliggies vir ander funksies en die ritrekenaar kan gestel word om n toereteller en brandstof te wys. Daar is die gebruiklike afstand tot volgende hervul, ritmeters en brandstofverbruik. Die paneeltjie dui ook optimum ratverwisseling met n pyltjie aan om ekonomies te ry.Agter die sonskerms is gleufies vir padkaarte en ander dokumente en daar is n gleufie op die paneelbord vir jou petrolkaart. Vensters is elektries, daar is lugversorging, elektriese buitespiels en sentrale sluit. Die bussie is in sewe kleure te kry.Die enjin is die 1.6 petrol, met spesifikasie soortgelyk aan die van Tiida. Dit maak 81kW en 153Nm se wringkrag en is gekoppel aan n vyfspoed ratkas wat presies oorskakel met n lekker kort kierie. Die stuurwiel is lekker klein en kan op en af stel. Stuur is redelik direk en die draaisirkel is kort. Dit sal baie lekker en rats wees in die dorp of stad, maar dit hou jou redelik besig op die oop pad.Van oop pad gepraat, die bussie hol goed en kan gemaklik toer teen 140 km/u. Teen Laske Nakke se bult op het dit maklik 120 km/u gehandhaaf in vyfde. Die gewillige enjin is doodstil, selfs teen ho spoed. Dit draai sowat 4500 opm teen 150 in vyfde.Die rit sonder passasiers en vrag is ferm en effe hobbelrig op ons swak paaie, maar die bestuurdersitplek is baie gerieflik.Ek hou van die vlakke van toerusting en wat jou gebied word teen die prys. Kritiek? Nie veel nie. Ek sou hou van smukspieltjies in die sonskerms en die agterste ruite maak nie oop nie, maar die lugversorging werk goed en vergoed daarvoor. Ek dink dit is n uitstekende kopie om te dien as mamma se taxi en selfs vir n gesin wat net een voertuig soek. Met die alooiwiele lyk die bussie veral goed in rooi of blougroen. Gaan kyk gerus daarna. Andre Coetzee.

The Persistent Legend of the Kruger Millions

Watervalboven

he story of the Kruger Millions is a legend that refuses to die, although history has (supposedly) disproved the existence of the treasure; searchers are however still T

hunting for the elusive treasure. The Anglo-Boer war and events at the time gave rise to the legend of this golden hoard, which many firmly believed lies buried somewhere in the Lowveld.When the British occupied Pretoria on June 5, 1900, Lord Alfred Milner established that gold to the value of approximately 800 000 (much more than R8-million in todays's terms, but bear in mind that the price of gold has gone up manyfold since 1900) had been removed from the S A Mint and National Bank between May 29 and June 4, 1900.Gold to the value of 2,5-million was confiscated from gold mines and, according to documentary proof, 1 294 000 was removed from the S A Mint and National Bank. Gold to the value of about 2 million had disappeared! Milner did everything in his power to find the gold but rumours began to circulate that the gold was buried somewhere and this fired the imagination of many, including that of the writer, Gustav Preller.Armed with a pistol, he dramatically commandeered a mule wagon in Sunnyside. That night one load of gold was transported by the mule wagon, and four loads by a horse cab, to a waiting train on Pretoria station.In the Preller collection, in the State Archives in Pretoria, there is a typed copy of the article in which Preller says: I think it was on 28 May 1900, because on 31May I left Pretoria. Let's say it was 28 May. In any case it does not seem that the precise date is important now. The precise date is indeed important, as it is a historic fact that the gold was removed on June 4, 1900, a day before the British forces occupied Pretoria. In his Memoirs of the Boer War, General J C Smuts said the British forces had progressed as far as Six Mile Spruit on June 4, 1900, just outside of Pretoria.Here the Boer forces resisted the British, to keep them from entering Pretoria, so that there was enough time to remove the money and gold which belonged to the government, as well as a large amount of

ammunition and a number of cannons, that were still in Pretoria.The removal of the money and gold belonging to the government from the National Bank was Smuts' specific responsibility.Ernest Meyer, Master of the Mint in 1900, was involved in the removal of the money and gold from Pretoria. On October 25, 1949, as a result of what Preller wrote, Meyer drew up a document in which the removal of the money and gold on June 4, 1900, is described.In Meyer's version of the events General Smuts, who was State Attorney at that time, was left behind in command at Pretoria, while the government head-quarters moved quietly and almost unobserved to Machadodorp. On June 2, the British forces were approaching Pretoria from the South. The mint was still in operation and, as was usual, was closed on Saturday June 2.He was amazed that no preparations had been made for the removal of the gold. The British would enter Pretoria within the next few days and Meyer reported this to Jules Perrin, head of the mint. Perrin's answer was that he had not received any instructions to remove the gold and that they would have to submit to the authorities whoever they might be.The British occupation was imminent. On the Sunday the sound of cannon fire could be heard, and on Monday morning June 4 reports were received of fighting at Six Mile Spruit.The staff at the mint started the day at the usual hour of 07:00 and Perrin distributed the metal to the different departments for processing. Perrin and the office staff then went home to return at 09:00, while the technical staff continued working. During Perrin's absence, Meyer took the opportunity to warn the smelter and purifier not to proceed with the processing of the gold, but to await the directions of the State Attorney. Everyone at the mint was willing to co-operate as they were also at a loss to understand Perrin's inexplicable behaviour.Meyer proceeded to General Smuts' home in Sunnyside and informed him of the situation. In shocked tones he exclaimed What, has the gold not been taken away? He told Meyer to return to the mint immediately and to await him there. Smuts arrived at the mint just before 9 am and after a few words to Perrin and Hugo, the National Bank manager, Smuts ordered the gold to be collected, weighed, recorded and made ready for despatch to the Pretoria station.The weighing and recording of the gold took time and consisted of gold bars, unprocessed gold and approximately 100 000 Kruger pounds to the value of 750 000. At 12:00 all was in readiness and the gold loaded into the train's baggage compartment. The train arrived at Machadodorp at 02:00 where Kruger was residing. Commandant General Meindert Noome, Chief Clerk to the Auditor General, took over from Meyer.Noome left a diary in which he had noted clearly and carefully in detail, that on August 31,1900 the gold was handed over to a German firm, Wilken and Ackerman, in Lourenco Marques (Maputo). There were 62 cases of gold and this firm credited the account of the

government of the Republic for the full value.However, now the plot thickens !Apart from the account of the gold from the mint being loaded, there was supposed to be gold bullion in bar form from the gold mines that was also loaded. In 1930, according to Historian Hedley Chilvers however, most of the bar gold was never accounted for !He maintains that the total value of the bar gold was 2 million (approximately 480,769 ounces or 1,202 bars) which would have a value of 26 million dollars (R6.6 billion) today consisting of 183,138 ounces of bar gold (457 bars) was taken from the Witwatersrand mines : Robinson Mine (198 bars), Ferreira Deep (104 bars), Ferreira Mine (96 bars) and other small mines (60 bars).Some of this material was gleaned from Rob Milne's latest edition of Anecdotes of the Anglo-Boer War.

Fruit was donated to an Orphanage in Burgersfort.

On Thursday 18 July Naranja Packers and Indigo Fruit Farming (situated between Burgersfort and Lydenburg) took part in the celebrations of Mandela Day. Representatives of the two companies handed out over 5000kg of fruit to various homes and schools throughout the day. The local government schools received cartons of fruit to distribute to the school's Feeding Schemes. Fruit was donated to the orphanages in the surrounding areas, as well as Wenakker, Lydenburg Rusoord, CMR and Estralita School. The joy and enthusiasm that the bright juicy fruit brought to the children was very heart-warming along with the eagerness from the children to help unpack the cartons from the truck.
