Former HOD up for R70mFrom page 1appeared in court on Tuesday with Anna-Marie Gordan, senior administration officer at the Department of Education, on charges of fraud of close to R70 million. The charges relate to a mobile classroom project dating back to February and March 2010, he said. According to Ramaloko the Department of Education issued a three-month tender for the construction of mobile classrooms at different schools across the province but after the period Gordan allegedly changed the minutes of the meeting to turn it into a six-month contract and Boshielo allegedly approved the funds for the extended period.

The case was remanded to 4 November this year. Boshielo was granted bail of R5 000 and Gordan R1 000. Ramaloko said a third suspect was expected to appear soon after a warrant of arrest was issued on Tuesday.

In the meantime tight crowd control on the ground as well as overhead characterised the mid-morning appearance of Malema, Kagiso Dichabe and Lesiba Gwangwa in an adjacent court room. By the time Malema showed up within the fenced-in area that was cordoned off by razor wire shortly after 10:00, close al-lies and party supporters have gathered in the main street and beyond for a long wait. The postponement of the case to August 2015 was requested for the respective legal representa-tives to be available.

A growing red mass erupted when Malema emerged from court in a black suit under a black umbrella with gold imprint – seemingly a remnant from the 2014 Presidential inaugura-tion held in position by a burly bodyguard - to

address his people. As he approached the po-dium at the square opposite the Police Station in the city centre echoing with the chanting of his name, Malema’s smile grew wider.

Surrounding Malema on stage were mem-bers of his central and provincial command structures who formed a half-circle around him. Constantly in close proximity was EFF Limpopo Coordinator Jossey Buthane, a Legis-lature member and long-time ally. Also close-by throughout the proceedings was mutual friend Jacob Lebogo, out on R5 000 bail in a matter of alleged attempted murder following the recent Waterland shooting, whom Malema greeted warmly.

As his address got underway supporters in the front of the crowd bellowed for the body-guard closest to Malema to raise the umbrella for his benefit. After his speech to the roaring mass that remained in attendance despite hours in the scorching sun and participation in a night vigil on Monday, Malema was whisked away in a luxury vehicle waiting on the other side of the barbwire. But first he stopped to greet and pose for a photo with a little one on his arm, sheltered by the ever present classic umbrella.

Boshielo’s arrest was welcomed by the Democratic Alliance (DA) in Limpopo. DA Caucus Spokesperson Stephen Mbedzi stated in a media release that the breakthrough by the Hawks gave hope to Limpopo’s people that indeed those who chose to be on the wrong side of the law would have their day.

Ingryping geëis in rade se R617 m skuld vir krag en waterVan bl 1minste nege munisipaliteite wat Eskom nage-noeg R115 miljoen en waterrade in Limpopo net meer as R500 miljoen skuld, wat die bedrag op R617 miljoen vir die verskaffing van twee noodsaaklike dienste te staan bring. Dié bedrae, het hy aangevoer, is op terugvoer van die departement gebaseer. Dit nadat DA provisiale leier, Jacques Smalle in Augustus dié vrae aan die LUR gestel het. Smalle het na verneem die terugvoering Maandag ontvang.

ElektisiteitMbedzi sê Makhado Munisipaliteit skuld Eskom ‘n massiewe R17,7 miljoen, Ba-Phalaborwa Munisipaliteit R3 miljoen, Mookgophong Munisipaliteit R21 miljoen en Thabazimbi Munisipaliteit ‘n skokkende R62,3 miljoen. Die totale bedrag kom op R104 151 078,93 te staan, volgens syfers vervat in die addisionele dokumentasie wat aan Polokwane Observer beskikbaar gestel is.

WaterIntussen skuld Ephraim Mogale Munisipaliteit R6,5 miljoen, Elias Motsoaledi Munisipaliteit R14,8 miljoen, Groter-Giyani Munisipaliteit R3,9 miljoen, Ba-Phalaborwa Munisipaliteit R179 miljoen, Mopani Distriksmunisipaliteit R297,6 miljoen en Thabazimbi Munisipaliteit R11,7 miljoen aan die onderskeie waterrade. Die totale bedrag beloop R507 179 413,24.

Die syfers vir beide uitstaande elektrisiteit- en waterverskaffing kom op R611 330 492,17 te staan.

“We should look at the possibility of getting a white judge. White judges don’t get easily bored. Judges who think Jacob Zuma is a permanent leader, should think again. Zuma is going down.”

This was cited by Economic Freedom Fight-ers (EFF) Commander-In-Chief (CIC) Julius Malema in an address to scores of supporters on Tuesday after he appeared in the Polokwa-ne High Court alongside co-accused Lesiba Gwangwa and Kagiso Dichabe on charges of fraud, money laundering and racketeering relating to a tender worth R52 million allegedly awarded by the then Department of Roads and Transport to On-Point Engineering Company co-owned by Malema’s Ratanang Family Trust.

On Tuesday the case was postponed and set for trial from 3 August 2015 until 10 September 2015. After emerging from court he addressed a red mass of supporters who braved the sun and lack of sleep after partici-pating in a night vigil ahead of his appearance.

Turning to the case against him he said: “I would prefer to be separated and trialled alone. I urged the state to consider a separate trial in order to close the case against me. I have nothing to fear. During earlier discussions regarding the separation the state indicated that there is no earlier date which will result in a combined trial,” Malema said, referring to former co-accused Selby Manthata, his wife Helen Moreroa and his brother Mokgetsi Manthata who were trialled separately and all charges against them withdrawn in the Moko-

pane Regional Court earlier this year.He further said: “The state was eager to

agree on postponing the case because they know they have no case against me. If they had enough evidence and a strong case against me, why did they not ask the court to continue with the trial? If one destroys the judiciary system, one destroys the last hope for South Africans. The possibility of an unfair trial is very high.”

In his spirited speech Malema, who was introduced as the president-in-waiting of the Republic, started off with the usual revolu-tionary songs and chants, referred to the masses being able to see through conspiracy, persecution and a political agenda that sought to undermine the leadership of the revolution. “We are grateful that you continue to expose the ruling party for what it is.”

Speaking in his general no-nonsense man-ner he said it was his ambition to show people that there was life outside the African National Congress (ANC), Malema said and added that he lived to prove and see the EFF as testimo-ny to that. The ruling party was no longer the leader of society, he continued. They wanted to show to society that the ANC has become irrelevant, he stated. Malema further shared the opinion that intellectually and politically the ANC did not lead any form of discussion in South Africa.

He reckoned the ANC was at the weakest point in its history, both in terms of politi-cal leadership and ideas. “The EFF therefore comes in as that alternative to fill in the vacuum because nature does not allow a vacuum. There is a political leadership crisis in the country and therefore we must provide that leadership.”

Members of the community that rely on the services of the Post Office countrywide can expect delays in the delivery of parcels, letters and other services due to the present strike that affects all branches in South Africa.

All branches throughout Limpopo and Polokwane have been affected by the labour dispute since Friday and are closed because of intimidation to non-striking personnel and for the safety of their clients. The current Post Office strike started in the East Rand on 18 August and slowly spread to other branches throughout the country.

Lungile Lose, from the Communications Division of the South African Post Office said it is difficult for Post Offices to give prior notifica-tion of the hours branches will be open out of fear of violence by striking workers against clients and non-striking personnel.

He added that all post offices in Polokwane have been closed since Tuesday as the first consideration at the Post Office is always the safety of customers and employees. “Post Office employees in Polokwane embarked on an unprotected strike last Friday. The employ-

ees are demanding a salary increase as well as the permanent appointment of temporary postal workers,” Lose said in a press statement released yesterday (Wednesday).

Meanwhile direct marketing companies and those businesses that heavily rely on the services of the Post Office continue to bear the brunt of the strike.

This affects especially advertising cam-paigns by insurance companies, retailers and banks that utilise the services of bulk mail-ing houses that print, label and process such material on behalf of clients and to Post Office specifications. In order to cater for bulk mailing houses the Post Office has asked these com-panies to bring their post as early as possible before striking workers arrive as that is when the disruptions start.

Individuals utilising the Post Office to send letters or parcels are also experiencing long delays for mail to arrive since the strike started more than a month ago. Lose explained that customers in Limpopo will find that mail from Gauteng is delayed.

Customers are requested to send an e-mail to [email protected] to en-quire about mail items. They should include a tracking number with their enquiry.

Premier Stan Mathabatha has, in addition to a promise made during his State of the Province address in June to buy 50 new

ambulances for the province, committed the province to procuring an additional 50 ambu-lances in the next financial year.

Mathabatha and Health MEC Ishmael Kgetjepe on Friday, during an event at the Uni-versity of Limpopo (UL), accepted the first 13 of the initial consignment. Mathabatha said a supplementary consignment of 10 ambulances should arrive within the next two weeks and the remaining 27 will be delivered by the end of December this year.

“Today we are here to breathe life into the commitment President Jacob Zuma, in his State of the Nation address, made. These ambulances will be shared proportionally in ac-cordance with demand,” Mathabatha said, add-

Ambulances bring relief for the provinceing that the delivery of the vehicles no doubt comes as a welcome relief to Kgetjepe and the Limpopo Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

“With these ambulances more lives will be saved. I also wish to challenge those in whose care these ambulances will be to use them only for their intended purpose. We do not want to read about these vehicles being used to fetch kids from school. I know however that I we can always count on our friends in the media in case the vehicles are being abused,” he said.

Mathabatha referred to his State of the Province address in June where he reaffirmed his commitment of the provisioning of a com-prehensive health service that promotes good health, prevent illness and provide care and rehabilitative services to the ill and people with

disabilities. “We said then that ‘we are working in partnership with the national government to ensure the successful implementation of the National Health Insurance Plan. This will help us to strengthen and expand our free primary health care programme, improve management of public hospitals, and reduce the costs of private health care,” he said and added that he also announced that they have developed a Public Health Turnaround Strategy to be implemented immediately.

“To that effect I announce that we had set aside no less than R145 million to pur-chase and repair critical equipment for all our hospitals in need. It is our firm belief that this Turnaround Strategy will go a long way in improving the conditions of our health facili-

ties and ensuring universal access to primary healthcare services,” Mathabatha said.

Responding to the issue of the shortage of doctors in the province’s hospitals, Mathabatha said the government is sending no less than 110 medical students to Cuba in this finan-cial year. “Exactly less than 10 days ago we were in a send-off ceremony for 110 medical students to Cuba. We are not just speaking, we are implementing. When Zuma announced in his State of the Nation Address that ‘by January next year, the first intake of medical students will be enrolled at a new medical school at the UL, I, on behalf of our Provin-cial Government announced that we will be offering bursaries to this first intake of medical students,” Mathabatha concluded.

Verrigtinge in die Pretoriase Landdros-hof het gister (Woensdag) teen druk-tyd voortgegaan waar die vermeende leier van ‘n renosterstropingsindikaat, Hugo Ras se vrou, Trudie saam met

haar broer, Arno Smit, die vlieënier Bonnie Steyn en Willem van Jaarsveld aansoek om borgtog doen.

Dit terwyl Ras, sy broer Anton, Mandla Magaguld, valke-lid, Willie Oosthuizen, Matthys Scheepers en die Pretoria prokureur, Joseph Wilkinson se borgtogaansoeke eers op 8 Oktober aangehoor word. Wilkinson se dring-ende borgtogaansoek kort na hul ar-restasie verlede week, is toe reeds deur die hooggeregshof geweier. Anton Ras werk glo in die plaaslike mynbedryf.

Valke se Paul Ramaloko het gister (Woensdag) nie op oproepe of teksboodskappe gereageer nie, maar Polokwane Observer het bevestiging vanuit die hofsaal in Pretoria ontvang dat die saak wel voortgaan.

Ramaloko het voorheen gesê Hugo

Ras, ‘n grootwildjagter, is verlede Vrydag deur die Valke gearresteer toe hy glo in die hof op ‘n ander klag van renosterstropery verskyn het. “Ras, ver-moedelik die hoofspeler in die sindikaat was vir langer as vyf jaar in Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng en Mpuma-langa bedrywig. Hulle word daarvan beskuldig dat hulle 24 renosters tussen 2008 en 2012 op staats- en privaateien-dom gestroop het. Die sindikaat het na bewering 84 renosterhorings ter waarde van R22 miljoen onwettig bekom waarvan 34 glo gesteel is,” het Ramaloko gesê. Die klagstaat bevat glo 318 aanklagte wat verband hou met beweerde onwettige handel in renosterhorings, die onwettige jag van renosters, rampokkery, diefstal en geldwassery.

BARRY VILJOEN >>[email protected]

Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadi-meng this week started a municipality wide programme to visit projects that are

being implemented to check on progress and to ensure that the right quality is delivered.

The aim of the visits is to ensure that pro-jects are delivered to communities on time and are of high quality. It also serves to remind contractors and consultants of the importance of delivering on time so that the communities can enjoy the services as promised by govern-ment.

According to Tidimalo Chuene, Manager Communications and Marketing of the mu-nicipality, Nkadimeng, accompanied by the municipality’s political management team and relevant members of the Mayoral Committee, visited Ga-Dikgale and Moletjie areas to inspect roads and water projects that are currently underway.

During a project visit the project managers, consultants, contractors and project commu-nity liaison officers are expected to be on site in order to explain and provide feedback on

progress and any challenges that are being experienced. The municipality’s cluster satel-lite offices will also be visited to inspect their functionality.

Nkadimeng is quoted to have said that it is important for the project managers, contrac-tors and consultants to be reminded that this government has promised to better the people’s lives by providing them access to quality services and that work must continue as planned so that the communities can lead a better life.

“The contractors and consultants have an obligation to ensure that projects servicing our communities are delivered on time and are of high quality,” she said.

Another challenge the municipality is experiencing with some projects is contractors who accepted to do work for the municipality knowing they would fail. This has a very nega-tive impact on the services that residents are expecting from government.

“Not completing projects on time results in roll-overs that deny communities of services and also impact negatively on the municipal-ity’s spending pattern,” the Executive Mayor said, adding that the municipality cannot allow

a situation where projects go beyond their expected completion period as this robs com-munities of services.

“We have to do this because we have been given a mandate to protect our people’s inter-ests,” Nkadimeng added.

At one project that involves construction of a reservoir which has gone past its completion date, the Executive Mayor warned the consult-ants that they should be aware that further delays on the project are not acceptable as “the people are not having drinking water as a result of the delays”.

It was agreed that the contractors will be given a month’s grace to ensure that the reser-voir is in operation.

Nkadimeng also visited the Molepo, Chuene and Maja cluster on a similar mission on Monday and also opened the Mothiba-Ngwa-namago satellite office as part of the munici-pality’s programme to decentralise services to the clusters in order to ensure that communi-ties access services closest to their places of residence.

To facilitate this, service units like water, roads and traffic are deployed to the satellite offices.

Local business person rewards brave employeesHERBERt RAcHuENE>>[email protected]

The Management of 7 Eleven in Marshall Street rewarded two of its employees and gave recognition to the unselfish and brave way in which they acted to save the lives of others.

Stephina Machebe and Easter Phaleng were given Certificates of Valour for rescuing learners who were involved in a car accident at the intersection of Dorp and Marshall streets on 24 July. On the day a vehicle collided with a minibus that was transporting learners. The minibus overturned and left the learners trapped inside. Machebe and Phaleng rushed to the scene, helped the learners to get out of the vehicle and calmed them down while wait-ing for the emergency services to arrive.

“It was a traumatic incident that left me in agony. I saw everything as it happened and the first thing that came to my mind was my own child. My colleague and I immediately rushed to the scene. Funnily enough neither of us has First Aid experience, we just broke the windows of the minibus and rescued the chil-dren,” Machebe recalled the incident. 7 Eleven Owner Daan Rossouw thanked Machebe and Phaleng for their quick and selfless action. “On behalf of the children, the schools involved and the community in general we thank the two ladies for their action above and beyond their normal duties,” Rossouw said.

Stephina Machebe and Esther Phaleng proudly display the Certificates of Valour they received from their employer, Daan Ros-souw, middle, Owner of 7 Eleven in Marshall Street. PHOtO: HERBERt RAcHuENE

Malema support base makes more headlines>> Legislature member emerg-es as suspect in matter of assault>> Complainant allegedly beaten, assaulted with booted feet, hit over head with empty beer bottleYOLANDE NEL>>[email protected]

The support base of Economic Freedom Fighters Commander-in-Chief (EFF CIC) Julius Malema seemingly continues to claim headlines as one of his allies, also a member of the Leg-islature, emerged as a suspect in a matter of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm allegedly occurring during a gathering of a sub-region of the party in Mahwelereng at Mokopane on Sunday.

According to Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto no arrest had been made as yet. She said the incident occurred at Nonchumudi Prima-ry School in Mahwelereng’s Zone 1 on Sunday at around 12:30 and was reported to the Mahwele-reng Police Station at 18:00 the same day.

She explained the complainant alleged that the suspect instructed him to leave the meet-ing as he was not a member of the Mogala-kwena sub-region of the party. An argument apparently ensued and the complainant was allegedly beaten, assaulted with booted feet and hit over the head with an empty beer bot-tle, Otto added.

Most recently one of Malema’s other friends, Jacob Lebogo, made a court appearance in a case of attempted murder after the shooting incident at Waterland during which African National Congress (ANC) Milo Malatjie Branch Chairperson Boy Mamabolo and three others were allegedly injured. Lebogo was granted bail of R5 000 and the case was postponed to a date in mid-November.

A damper was placed on the usually jubilant sounds of the Limpopo Youth Orchestra (LYO) when one of its members, Daniel Modiba died in Dakar, Senegal last Tuesday.

Modiba from Gakama Village outside Man-kweng tragically drowned while the orchestra was on a visit to Senegal at the invitation of the South African Embassy as part of celebra-tions to commemorate South Africa’s 20 years of democracy.

LYO Managing Director Simoné Aronje-Adetoye said they are all heartbroken by the tragedy. “The SA Embassy organised coun-selling for the other members and they are scheduled for another session today (Tues-day),” she said and added that as a result of this tragedy the scheduled programmes in col-laboration with the Senegalese artists at the opening of the Nelson Mandela Art Exhibition and Museum and the performances in Dakar’s Grand Theatre, were cancelled.

“The orchestra however decided to do a tribute performance for their friend at the South African Ambassador’s Residence on Wednesday, 24 September. This function was attended by various ministers from Senegal, cabinet members, ambassadors from different countries and the staff from the South African Embassy,” Aronje-Adetoye said.

She ex-plained that the circum-stances surrounding Modiba’s death are still a mystery. “We left on Monday, 22 September and arrived in Dakar at 01:00 the next day. We booked in at the hotel and after we had some rest, we were invited to a briefing by the Ambassador on the customs and history of the country. After rehearsals with the national or-chestra of Senegal, we returned to the hotel. It was a scorching hot day and I suggested we all go for a swim to cool off and arranged to meet the students in an hour at the hotel’s swimming pool. Some of the students arrived earlier and started playing in the shallow end of the pool while Daniel was in the deep end.” She said the hotel staff and paramedics tried to resuscitate him, but he was declared dead

en route to hospital.She said she and the other members took

a return flight next day while the teachers and guest artists returned on Saturday.

Modiba started his training with the LYO four years ago, at the age of 15. He was a promising trumpeter, keen to learn more as far as improving his musical knowledge is concerned, Aronje-Adetoye said. He was sup-posed to play his practical exams in trumpet through the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music this month.

“We wish to express our sincere thanks to our Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipo-tentiary, Abel Shilubane and his team, the Senegalese Arts and Culture Ministry, SAA Dakar, Management of the Grand Theatre, the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) representatives from the Department of Sports Arts and Culture, KZN traditional Dance Group and the Senegalese National Orchestra members for the tremen-dous support they had given to LYO during these extremely trying times,” Aronje-Adetoye said.

Daniel’s teacher, Innocent Mokoena said his death came as a huge shock, but he fondly re-members Daniel as being very dedicated, hard working and eager to learn. “He was a bubbly person and knew how to make people laugh, even in the most serious situations.”

Conductor Bafana Baloyi said Daniel was a

diligent trumpet player and wanted to be an international acclaimed trumpeter. “He showed huge potential and was included in the in a bursary fund to further his studies after school.”

LYO wishes to express its deepest con-dolences to his mother, fondly known as Ma Modiba and family of Daniel, his friends, schoolmates and fellow members of the orchestra.

The Orchestra will be hosting a memorial service tomorrow (Friday) at the NG Kerk Oos, corner of Betz and Natorp Street at 10:00.

The funeral service will take place at Stand 185, Gakama Village, Ga-Mamabolo at 07:00 on Saturday.

“Die eerste keer toe ek haar in 2000 gesien het, het haar glimlag my knieë lam gemaak,” herroep André Jocks sy ontmoeting met sy vrou, Wilma wat Vrydagoggend na ‘n lang stryd teen kanker oorlede is.

Sy het self haar begrafnis wat vandag (Donderdag) om 11:00 uit die AGS Ooskampus in Bek-kerstraat gehou word, vooruit beplan en hoewel hulle voorbereid was vir haar afsterwe is hulle baie hartseer, maar dankbaar dat sy nie meer ly nie. “Haar grootste bekom-mernis was egter dat sy haar dogter, Jacoline Wepener (22) se troue op 1 November met Werner Potgieter en haar seun, Henry Wepener (19), matriekleerder van Hoër Tegniese Skool Tom Naudé se matriekafskeid gaan misloop,” sê André.

Wilma is in 2010 vir die eer-ste keer met bors- en servikale kanker gediagnoseer waarna haar regterbors verwyder is. “Na vyftien maande se chemo-terapie en bestraling was sy vir elf maande in remissie voordat kanker in Oktober 2012 in haar linkerbors ontdek is. Dit het later na haar skelet en lewer versprei. Die kanker was egter vir ongeveer ‘n jaar onder be-heer maar in Februarie vanjaar het die dokters bevestig dat hulle niks meer vir haar kan doen nie,” sê André.

Wilma, wat in Augustus haar 46ste verjaarsdag gevier het, is in Polokwane gebore en het haar matriek aan die voormalige Handelskool (Hoërskool Noorderland) voltooi waarna sy by verskeie sakeondernemings in die stad werksaam was voordat sy as mede-eienaar by Jocks Windscreens aangesluit het.

Geliefde Wilma Jocks verloor haar lang kankerstryd

Wilma Jocks.

Volgens familie en vriende sal sy altyd onthou word as iemand wat ander se belange voor haar eie gestel het.

Wilma is Vrydag by die Theunis Fichardt Hospitium in Jacoline en André se teenwoor-digheid oorlede en het vir elke geliefde ‘n brief nagelaat.

Benewens haar man en kinders laat sy haar ouers, ‘n broer en suster agter.


Protect your heart… and your pocketAccording to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of South Africa, there are about 130 heart at-tacks and 240 strokes daily in this country.

Statistics show that one in three South African adults has high blood pressure, which is one of the leading causes of heart attacks and stroke. “There are several lifestyle choices you can make to reduce your risk of develop-ing cardiac disease,” said Willem Barnard from Sanlam, “but financially, very few people are prepared to deal with a major health setback.”

Many people make the mistake of believing that a good medical aid is enough to protect them against the financial implications of cardiovascular disease. “They tend to forget about the indirect costs associated with suf-fering and recovering from a heart attack and stroke.” Depending on the severity of your condition and the length of your recovery pe-riod, you may be temporarily unable to work. “In some cases, patients need several months to recover, and the loss of income can be crip-pling financially, especially if you are the main breadwinner,” said Barnard.

“You may also require expensive therapies and incur travel costs to and from hospital or a care centre if you are unable to drive yourself. Dread disease cover, which pays a lump sum on diagnosis, can go a long way to pay travel expenses and the costs of treatments not covered by your medical aid, while income protection will help keep your family afloat while you are ill. ”Income protection cover pays a monthly amount if you are temporarily unable to work. This money will replace all or a portion of your salary and can be used to cover household expenses and other financial obligations until you are able to resume work.”

Having the right cover in place will give you peace of mind, leaving you free to focus on your recovery. Speaking to a financial adviser can help you assess how much cover you require and address any gaps in your financial planning, Barnard said. “A professional can help you choose the best options to address your specific needs and personal budget.”

Be kind to your heart, but make sure you are covered. Sanlam Life Insurance Limited is a licensed financial services provider and a registered credit provider.

Child-headed household rescued from destitution

The dilapidated mud structure of about 2 m² was the only home Conny (14) and Frans (10) Mathebula knew. (Insert) They were sleeping on the floor with only a thin sponge mattress and two worn-out blankets.

In the heart of Mavele village in the Letsitele area, two young children left destitute by the death of their mother in July and barely making ends meet with the help of their mostly impoverished community have been given a new lease on life through the generosity and social awareness of Standard Bank, Tzaneen and the Comprehensive Health Care Trust.

Standard Bank handed over a specially built house to the children on Heritage Day to ensure that they have adequate shelter and improved living conditions.

Conny (14) and Frans (10) Mathebula were living in a mud structure of about 2m², with a dilapidated corrugated iron roof, no windows and a broken door. They have no furniture, except for a sponge mattress and two worn blankets to shield them from the elements of nature.

At times, when food is scarce, they often go to sleep hungry and when they do receive food, they said thugs would break into the mud structure when they are at school to steal the meagre offerings from neighbours.

Clothes, blankets and a school uniform are luxuries they can only dream off until someone donates tattered clothes and blankets and because they don’t have birth certificates, they can’t apply for a child grant either. If not for the efforts of Comprehensive Health Care Trust (Choice Trust), a non-profit, non-government

organisation outreach project who visits them regularly, a bleak and dark future awaited them.

Nikki Stuart-Thompson from Choice Trust said the organisation has been working in the village for some time when they were informed about the children’s situation. “Standard Bank in Tzaneen approached us with an initiative and the children immediately came to mind,” she said and added that Choice Trust has been supplying food parcels and psycho-social support. They also managed to collect enough money to buy two mattresses and two blankets, school uniforms, shoes and bags.

Limpopo Provincial Marketing Manager for Standard Bank in Tzaneen, Tshilidzi Simeli said the bank wanted to make a contribution in celebration of Mandela Day in July. “We contacted Choice Trust who sent us a few projects we can contribute to, but it was the plight of the two children that caught our attention,” she said and added that a staff meeting was immediately arranged and they agreed to contribute personally in order to build a house. She said the response was overwhelming. “We also decided to ask some of our clients to donate materials and we received a positive response from them as well.”

Simeli said Masedi Construction donated staff to build the whole structure from start to finish. “Amphiguard Brickyard, Omni Risk Solution, Daily Double, Bamtel Communications and Shingange General Dealer also contributed,” Simeli said.

While the house was under construction, the children temporarily lived with a friend, Maria Maselane (18), a matric learner of Sevengwana High School in Mavele village, who also live alone and whose parents are in Johannesburg.

A very shy and clearly overwhelmed by all the attention Connie, who understands very little English, through an interpreter explained that her father passed away a long time ago while her mother died at the end of July this year. She said the cause of death is still unknown. She is currently in Grade 9 at Sevengwana High School while her brother is attending Mavele Primary school.

During the official hand-over of the house on Heritage Day, Headman Edward Miyexe Ndlovu said he is happy that the children are taken care of and that can concentrate on their studies. “May God’s blessings increase from here on,” he said and requested that the children look after the house while he assists Choice Trust to obtain birth certificates. A delighted Connie and Frans accepted the house keys from Thema Mhlongo from Standard Bank.

Simeli said although the children have a place to stay, they have nothing to furnish it with and pleads for any kind of donation. “Anything will be accepted. They have nothing, only a thin sponge mattress. Not a teaspoon or cup. We also need to increase security since they remain vulnerable. We need a fence around the house and burglar proof. If anyone can assist, please contact me on 083 452 7490,” she said.

CRIME shortsPolice open murder case after mob justice attackNo arrests have yet been made following the alleged stoning to death of a suspected criminal by villagers of Tshakhuma just outside Levubu last Thursday evening. According to Levubu Police Spokesperson Solly Mukhola the deceased, Tshifeiwa Lumuhanelwa had pending cases of alleged murder, attempted murder and rape against him and was released on bail which allegedly angered the Tshakhuma community. “Police are investigating a case of murder and we urge the community not to take matters into their own hands. It is alleged that Lumuhanelwa continued on a spree of housebreakings after his release,” Mukhola said.

Four arrested for murder of 60-year-oldFour suspects appeared in the BelaBela Magistrate’s Court on Monday after being arrested for the alleged murder of Lynette Pamela Lavender on a smallholding just outside Rust de Winter last Thursday. According to Provincial Police Spokesperson Ronel Otto the four men will appear in court again on 8 October for a bail application. They face charges of murder and theft of a vehicle, and were remanded in custody. “Last Thursday Lavender’s neighbour saw a suspicious looking man leaving her premises with her vehicle. He investigated and allegedly found Lavender’s body with multiple stab wounds,” Otto said, adding that Lavender stayed alone on the premises and it is still not clear whether anything was stolen from the house. Investigation led to the arrest of the four men, whose identities Otto could not reveal yet, in Mabopane with the stolen vehicle in their possession. One of the suspects had allegedly been employed by Lavender as gardener for a short period.

Banking risk information centre warns on scamThe South African Banking Risk Information Centre (Sabric) has warned banking customers about a scam in which they are informed of a change in the supplier’s banking details and that future payments should be made into the new account. In a recent press statement Sabric Chief Executive Officer, Kalyani Pillay warned customers to be wary when being told that a certain supplier has changed their banking details. “The scam operates by an innocent recipient receiving an email informing them that their particular suppliers has changed their banking details and would then include details of the new bank account in which future payments should be made,” she said. Pillay said people should question whether companies would change banking details without notifying people through more formal channels and they should ensure that they confirm any changes of details. “Furthermore companies should ensure that private information is not disclosed to a third party and that all invoices of the business and suppliers and any communication material that may contain letterheads be shredded,” she warned.


The University of Limpopo (UL) during its annual Spring Graduation Ceremony held

last Thursday awarded certificates, diplomas and degrees to 682 successful undergraduate and graduate students in the facul-ties Health Sciences; Science and Agriculture; Management and Law and Humanities.

Nine undergraduate diplomas, 133 undergraduate certificates, 316 undergraduate degrees, 16 postgraduate certificates, 45 postgraduate diplomas, 69 honours and 85 masters de-grees were conferred. Among the graduates were also nine recipients of doctoral degrees in Philosophy (DPhil) five of whom in the Faculty of Humanities, two in Health Sciences and one each in the other two faculties.

UL Vice-Chancellor and Prin-cipal Prof Mahlo Mokagalong in his address said the university hopes that the graduates will use their skills and qualifications to improve services in government.

“We are proud of these gradu-ates. The country is in need of people like them. With their qualifications and skills we be-lieve they will improve the state of the country. The country needs improved services at local, pro-vincial and national level. We no longer want people to embark on service delivery protests and we

believe with their skills they will help the country in that regard,” he said.

Mokgalong also urged the graduates not to, when they get their first job, forget the contri-bution made by their parents. “Those who are not employed yet, I know you are going to become employed. I want you to give your parents that first paycheque because you couldn’t have done it without their sup-port,” he told the graduates.

Two graduates from the Faculty of Management and Law, Sabe Mabye (BCom Economics) and Gibson Nyirenda (MCom)were named Best Students in their respective fields of study and received the Standard Bank Awards.

Agnes Lebelo who received an Advanced Certificate in Education specialising in School Manage-ment and Leadership, said she was happy to have completed her qualification in a targeted time. “It was not easy at because I am mother, a wife and a full-time educator. It was all very demand-ing but I soldiered on. I hope to inspire someone out with my achievement because one can never stop learning and it is al-ways good to equip yourself with knowledge,” she said.

The experience of walking with lions in the African bush, along with horseback safaris and big game drives has put

Protea Hotel Ranch Resort in Limpopo on Fodor’s latest list of Top 10 Luxury Ranches in the World.

The new Top 10 Luxury Ranches list includes El Colibri in Cordoba, Argentina, which offers the experience of a day in the life of a well-heeled gaucho – including after-noon polo – and Les Mas de Peint in Arles, France, which offers riding the white horses of the Camargue before enjoying a Provencal dinner.

Protea Hotel Ranch Resort’s Paul Shearer says the hotel’s excellent facilities coupled with the unique experience offered of actu-ally doing a bush walk alongside lions is one that tourists always say creates memories

that will last their entire lives. Tourists are also particu-larly drawn to the breeding projects on the conservancy that help put wildlife back into the bush.

“Protea Hotel Ranch Resort is committed to conservation. A herd of 28 sable antelope has been introduced, with the dominant bull, known as ‘Lord of the Rings’ boasting impressive, 49⅜ inch horns, making him one of the most sought-after stud bulls in

the country. Protea Hotel Ranch Resort also recently in-troduced golden wildebeest, a species that was on the verge of extinction, and the numbers have stead-ily recovered though the help of private breed-

ing programmes. Both the sable and golden wildebeest are extremely valuable and a treat for visitors to see.”

Danny Bryer, Director of Sales, Market-ing and Revenue for Protea Hotels, says

accolades such as that from Fodor’s can only be good for the brand, hotel, for conserva-tion, the region and South African tourism as a whole.

“We have so much to offer international tourists in South Africa, and Protea Hotel Ranch Resort is a brilliant example of the sorts of unique selling propositions that should be used to market the country inter-nationally.”

Fodor’s employs around 700 top travel writers globally offering current and discern-ing shopping, dining, hotel, and culture recommendations, as well as compelling features and articles that convey the essence of each destination. Fordor’s says of its travel writing: “We are confident that we’re giving you the best information because our prod-ucts are written by people who live there.”

>> Heritage is about celebrating one’s identity and dignity>> ‘It will require leadership from all spheres of life’BARRY VILJOEN >>[email protected]

“Celebrating Heritage Day would be more meaningful if more of our people are freed from poverty and inequalities, especially now that we enter the third decade of our freedom,” Capricorn District (CDM) Executive Mayor Gilbert Kganyago told those attending the district’s Heritage Day celebrations at Ga-Mamabolo Moshate last Wednesday.

The celebration was held to remind and empower people about the importance of embracing and preserving their heritage. In his address, Kganyago said it is worrisome to celebrate Heritage Day when multitudes of people, especially in rural communities, still live in abject poverty and underdevelopment. “Your massive presence here as young people speaks volumes about your plight for a better life and I can see that plight on your faces - a plight to have jobs and live a better live, and that will give you a true reason to celebrate heritage because poverty is not our heritage”, Kganyago reportedly said.

He added that heritage is about celebrat-ing one’s identity and dignity and that people need a secure living income to have their dignity affirmed and restored. A media release issued by CDM Media Liaison Officer, Moffat Senyatsi quoted Kganago to have said: “This is what will make our people celebrate their cultural heritage with pride and joy; a heritage

lived through a better life for all, a heritage to forge unity and common prosperity without racial, gender and class prejudice. This is our mainstay for a socio-economic transforma-tion goal. Let us move on to deepen the weaves of a common herit-age united in diversity.”

Kganyago reportedly further said that the district munici-pality is doing well in service delivery but that more needs to be done to create conditions and opportunities for people to have jobs and grow the local economy. “That is why we recently undertook a trip to India to showcase investment opportunities that could be of interest to the Indian business community and learn about how they make their agricultural sector to thrive.

“For freedom and democracy to have meaning and impact on our society, it will require leadership from all spheres of life to address economic questions. Job creation for secure income for families is our immediate and central preoccupation,” the statement read.

According to Senyatsi the celebrations also featured varied traditional dances, poems, mu-sicals, school choirs and the ZCC brass band.

Geklee in ‘n pragtige rooi en silwer Erika Mengouchi-rok het Charlize van Heerden, ‘n matriekleerder van Hoërskool Pietersburg verlede week haar matriekafskeid bygewoon.

Charlize was die gelukkige wenner van die Miss Limpopo Teen Matriekafskeidkompetisie wat deur Miss Limpopo Teen 2014, Tiané Ströh vroeër vanjaar van stapel gestuur is.

Matriekleerders kon ‘n rok by Mengouchi Haute Couture aanpas en in ‘n paragraaf saamvat hoekom sy dit as haar droomrok beskou. Dié motivering het uiteindelik die wen-ner bepaal.

Charlize se grimering is deur House of Finesse gedoen terwyl haar hare deur Head Office gestilleer is. Die waarde van die pryse was ongeveer R11 500.

Polokwane Observer is die eksklusiewe drukmediaborg vir die kompetisie.

‘n Peperduur Lexus LX 570 viertrekvoertuig wat in ‘n westelike rigting in DieMeerstraat gery het en volgens ‘n ooggetuie die ver-keerslig op die hoek van Potgieterlaan en DieMeerstraat veront-agsaam het, het Sater-dagaand met ‘n Tata Xenon dubbelkajuitbak-kie wat in ‘n noordelike rigting in Potgieterlaan gery het, gebots.

Die Lexus het na die botsing gerol en die bestuurder is met lewenskake uit die wrak bevry en saam met die vrouepassasier deur die nooddienste na die hospitaal vervoer. Die bestuurder en enigste insittende van die Tata,

die 23-jarige Roland Grobler, is ook in die hos-pitaal met hoof- en beenbeserings behandel.

Volgens Grobler se tante, Sonja Potgieter, is hy vir bloeding op die brein behandel maar het geen blywende skade opgedoen nie en is Maandagoggend uit die hospitaal ontslaan.

Motor dealers show off at SavannahBARRY VILJOEN >>[email protected]

Motor dealers took advantage to showcase some of their most tempting models at the Loxion Motor Show that took place at Savan-nah Mall last week.

A number of recently released models were on show and representatives of the brands ex-hibited were hands on to provide information and arrange for test drives. Full details such as performance figures and prices allowed interested buyers to compare prices and acces-sory packages and make an informed decision before they buy the vehicle of their dreams.

Karen Botha, Group Marketing Manager of Savannah Mall, says that the show was a big success and that a number of vehicles were sold right there during the show and had to be replaced to allow their proud owners to accept delivery.

September was ‘n bedrywige maand vir lede van die Vroue Landbou-unie (VLU) se Pietersburg Noordtak wat hulle met

gemeenskapsprojekte besig gehou het.Leerders van Generaal Piet Joubertskool

het die dames van die VLU gehelp om ter viering van Boomplantmaand ‘n laventelboom op die skoolterrein te plant en ‘n werkklas in suikerkuns is aangebied.

“Die Vroue Landbou-nie (VLU) is n orga-nisasie wat daarop ingestel is om aan vroue geleenthede te bied om hulself op alle terreine van vrouwees te verryk sodat hulle ‘n bedui-dende bydrae tot hul gesinne en die gemeen-skap kan lewer. Die organisasie is niepolities, niesektaries, tweetalig, en op alle vroue bo die ouderdom van 16 jaar ingestel,” sê skakel-beampte Made-leine van Rooyen.

Die VLU het twee takke in Polokwane, die Finessetak (Aand-tak vir werkende vroue) en die Pie-tersburg Noordtak (Oggendtak vir tuisteskeppers).

Volgens Van Rooyen kom die VLU Pietersburg

Noordtak elke derde Donderdag van die maand soggens bymekaar.

Tydens die vergaderings word verskeie onderwerpe soos gesondheid, kreatiwiteit, kultuur, aktuele sake, landbou en tuinbou bespreek.

Uitstappies na interessante besienswaar-dighede, gassprekers, demonstrasies en werk-klasse word maandeliks gereël. Lede neem ook jaarliks aan verskeie kompetisies soos gebak, preservering, suikerkuns, hekel, brei, borduur en skilderkuns deel.

“Lede wat aan kompetisies wil deelneem maar nie oor die nodige vaardigheId beskik nie, word opgelei. Een van die belangrikste doelstellings van die VLU is om te sorg dat tradisionele kuns en handewerk nie uitsterf nie,” sê Van Rooyen.

Belangstellendes kan Van Rooyen by 082 449 7264 skakel.

Nagenoeg 600 stappers het Saterdag die bloe-dige son tydens die 2014 Stap-vir-Bybels ge-meenskapsprojek by die CVO Vivo-skoolterrein trotseer en het saam 6 511 rondtes gestap.

Sameroeper Lé-Andrie Bezuidenhout sê 580 stappers en besoekers het saamgetrek om 54 spanne met ‘n minimum van vier en ‘n maksimum van vyftien lede te vorm. “Die dag het nie net oor geld gegaan nie, maar vermaak vir die hele gesin,” sê Bezuidenhout. Nadat 40 ruiters van Bloubergryskool die baan geopen het, het die spanne weggespring. Die wenspan met die meeste rondtes was Hoër

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in Limpopo is adamant about the intended institution of cases against Premier Stan

Mathabatha and Members of the Executive Council (MECs) for failing to address matters raised in the Legislature three weeks back.

Both EFF Provincial Leader Michael Mathebe and EFF Legislature Member Jossey Buthane raised several issues during a sitting that coincided with a debate on Provincial Week outcomes concluding a visit by a National Council of Provinces (NCOP) delegation to Lim-popo. Since, no response had been received to any of their questions while they had given the concerned parties ample time for feedback, Buthane explained. The next step, he said, was an intended institution of cases against Mathabatha and the three MECs with the


‘n Elektrisiën van die Polokwane Munisipaliteit, Jamie Bird, het Dinsdagaand derdegraadse brand-wonde oor 60% van sy liggaam opgedoen toe hy ‘n elektrisiteits-kas op die hoek van Witklip- en Pietersburgstraat wou afskakel om herstelwerk te doen.

Volgens Bird se ma, Terry de Bie, was hy teen druktyd in ‘n bestendige toestand in Mankweng Hospitaal waar sy wonde gister (Woensdag) skoongemaak is. De Bie het haar dank teenoor die

personeel van die nooddienste uit-gespreek wat Bird spoedig na die ongeluk gestabiliseer en hospitaal toe geneem het.

Volgens Tidimalo Chuene, woordvoerder van die munisi-paliteit, was die kragonderbre-king wat die instandhouding genoodsaak het, te wyte aan ‘n boom wat op die kraglyne geval het.

‘n Onderdeel in die elektrisiteitskas het ontplof terwyl Bird met werk besig was. Chuene ver-soek dat probleme met elektrisi-teitsvoorsiening by 015 290 2490 of 290 2000 aangemeld word.

Die bestuurder is op die toneel behandel en hospitaal toe vervoer. Lizelle van der Westhuizen van GLG Konstruksie sê die man werk al 13 jaar vir die maatskappy en is ‘n versigtige bestuurder. Die oorsaak van die ongeluk is onbekend, maar vele ongelukke het al in die verlede om die betrokke draai plaasgevind.

EFF cases vs Premier, MECs

Public Protector and other relevant institutions after failing to answer to questions posed in the house.

During the Legislature session Mathebe demanded answers to questions pertain-ing to ownership of two apartment blocks in Ladanna and authorisation for electricity to the complexes to be cut, which was perceived to be responded to by Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure MEC Jerry Ndou.

Buthane wanted answers to questions that included the status of the earlier suspension of African National Congress (ANC) Provincial Secretary Nocks Seabi while still chief execu-tive of Limpopo Tourism Agency (LTA), posed to Economic Development, Environment and Tourism MEC Seaparo Sekoati. He further requested proof of security clearance for Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) MEC Makoma Makurupetje to be furnished, asked about a re-view of an initial matter against departmental officials and whether the chief financial officer of the department was charged in the same case as well as enquired about progress on the proposed integrated housing development in Bendor’s Extension 100.

Buthane referred to demanding of the Premier an account on his salary increase and bonus while still in the employ of the then Limpopo Economic Development Enterprise (Limdev) years back; progress on the pending suspension of heads of government depart-ments (HODs) and the reason for the charges against the senior officials continuously chang-ing.

On Monday Buthane told Polokwane Observer they had given the Premier and MECs ample time until the next sitting, which was expected to take place on Tuesday after-noon, to respond to their questions. He later indicated the session had been postponed. On Tuesday it was learnt that the next sitting is supposed to take place in mid-October.

If their questions still remained unanswered by then they intended to take the matter fur-ther, both Buthane and Mathebe stressed.

Making practical and artistic quilts is not only a wonderful creative outlet, but it is also very therapeutic.

This is according to Cape Town based quilt-ing teacher, designer and qualified national quilt judge, Sue Prins who visited Capricorn Quilting from 22 to 24 September.

Prins, who started quilting in the early 1970s during the Great Quilt Revival, has won the Best Traditional Quilt and Best Hand

Enjoying creative freedom within limits

Workmanship categories at the biennial South African National Quilt Festival. Four of her Celtic Quilt designs have won major prizes at the annual World Quilt Competition in the United Kingdom.

Prins explained that although she loves all quilt styles she specialises in making heirloom-quality quilts using traditional techniques, but they are her own original designs. “There are limitless possibilities when working with fabrics and designing within limits,” she said and added that she only uses 100% cotton fabric.

She said the quilters at Capricorn Quilting are very eager to learn more about the trade. “They are hungry for knowledge. There is such a lovely vibe.” She complimented Koraal Quilt-ers Guild Chairperson Linda Oerlemans on her exceptional hand-made quilts. “Every stitch is perfect. The most important quality one must possess is to enjoy working on quilts, you don’t have to be perfect,” Prins said.

Oerlemans said Koraal Quilters Guild gath-ers at the NG Kerk Pietersburg-Oos once a month to encourage each other and have show-and-tell sessions. “There are currently 28 members but anybody is welcome to join,” she said.

According to Oerlemans the group started working on the Sylvia’s Bridal Samplers Quilts exhibited at Capricorn Quilting last week. “Each member committed to work on at least ten blocks per month. They needed about 140 blocks in order to complete the quilt. Each quilt was beautifully made and you can see how much effort was put into it,” Oerlemans said.

She invited everybody who wants to join the guild to contact her on 082 572 4877.

Capricorn Quilting offers classes and work-shops in quilting for beginners to advanced quilters.

Braaidag wat verlede Woensdag saam met Erfenisdag in die stad gevier is, het aan inwoners en kuiergaste ‘n geleentheid gebied om in die middel van die week gesellig saam met familie en vriende om braaivleisvure te verkeer.

Tradisionele biefstuk, tjops en sappige wors was gunstelinge en daar was ook plek vir bedruipte hoenderstukke, varksnitte en sosa-ties. Geesdriftige kokke kon hulle waaghalsige bykosresepte uittoets en niemand het nodig gehad om op wegneemetes staat te maak nie.

Great excitement was at the order of the day when Goseame Meat Market Polo-kwane in partnership with Deli Spices

and Coca-Cola Fortune gave away microwave ovens, braai stands, camping chairs, Coca-Cola products and shopping vouchers to their loyal customers on Saturday.

The competition took the form of a lucky draw that ran from August until September. To participate customers had to buy boerewors at the butchery and put their till slips inside the competition box after the purchase.

Francois du Plessis, General Manager Butchery at Goseame Meat Market Polokwane said the competition was a way of rewarding customers who have been loyal to the com-

pany for the past 20 years. “Keeping custom-ers makes good business sense but it is not always easy.

“These are the people who are loyal to the company; we have got a long standing rela-tionship with them. We felt it would be great to recognise their loyalty by giving back to them and by so doing thanking them for their continued support,” he said.

The excited crowd that gathered for the lucky draw on Saturday had further opportu-nities to win prizes from Coca-Cola Fortune by participating in the 2 litre-challenge. Four selected members from the crowd were asked to empty a 2 litre bottle of Coca-Cola in three minutes or less. Given Mokonyama won the challenge after he managed to finish the bottle in the allocated time. He walked away with various goodie prizes from the company.

Patrons lined up in their droves to try their luck at the launch of the new progressive jackpot machines that were unveiled last Tuesday at Polokwane’s favourite leisure venue, Meropa Casino & Enter-tainment World.

The progressive jackpot at the new Sunstriker machines stood at

over R750 000 and many eager punters lined up for the limited number of free tokens that were on offer to Meropa’s Most Valued Guests (MVGs). The seven new Sunstriker machines come with coinless smart card technology and are linked to Sun International’s countrywide progressive jackpot and bring the number of machines that are available at the popular entertainment venue to 414.

on national /provincial / local issuesViews Polokwane residents have for the

past number of years had to cope with the effect of Polokwane Mu-nicipality’s general poor mainte-nance of the city’s infrastructure. Lately, however, the incorrect billing system and apparent lack of will to address the issue effec-tively has had residents hot under the collar. Polokwane Observer asked a number of residents how they experience service delivery by the municipality.Inwoners van Polokwane is jare reeds genoodsaak om met Polo-kwane Munisipaliteit se onvermoë om die stad se infrastruktuur na behore te onderhou, saam te leef. Meer onlangs het die foutiewe rekeningstelsel en die munisipal-iteit se skynbare gebrek aan die wil om die situasie op te los inwo-ners warm onder die kraag gehad. Polokwane Observer het aan ‘n paar inwoners gevra hoe hulle dienslewering in die stad ervaar.

Dikeledi Tlale: “I am not happy be-cause they don’t stick to their promises. Most of the villages are still without proper sanita-tion and running water.”

Noko Mokgokgo: “They must sort out the issues of street lights. It is difficult to walk at night in certain sections of the city.”

Karin adlem: “Penina-park is reeds maande sonder straatligte. Dit is gevaarlik en spreek van swak diens.”

Maxie Mat-thee: “groot gedeeltes van die stad is sonder straatligte. Die munisipaliteit moet aandag daaraan gee.”

Louise Page: “Informele verko-pers is ‘n groot probleem. Baie persone dwaal op sakepersele rond en skep ‘n veilig-heidsgevaar.”

What is the biggest challenge presented by the industry? >> A slow moving economy – no money, no salesHow do you ensure your suc-cess in the motor industry? >> Consistency glen Whitehead

A few months ago General Motors intro-duced an urban hatchback capable of working as hard as a small utility vehicle

and ever since the Chevrolet Spark Pronto has started a new trend among some companies.

The new Chevrolet Spark Pronto does not have to stand back for any vehicle when it comes to cargo space. Some businesses require a small, efficient and profitable delivery vehicle capable of handling urban and out of town deliveries. For them, it’s all about getting a parcel to its destination quickly and inexpen-sively, with absolutely no need for any bells or whistles. And that is exactly what the Pronto offers with its massive 876 litres of cargo space.

The Pronto has all the standard features of the Spark. The only thing missing is the back seat.

General Motors saw the gap in the market for a small segment vehicle to fulfil the same capabilities and duties as a small utility. The Spark Pronto is equipped with Chevrolet’s familiar 1,2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which it shares with every other model in the Spark range. It’s a perky little thing, enthusias-tically squeezing out 60 kW at 6 400 rpm and 108 Nm at 4 800 rpm. The nippy engine is ca-pable of shunting the light-weight Pronto from zero to 100 km/h in a little over 13 seconds, before topping out at 164 km/h.

When it comes to fuel efficiency the Pronto offers a combined fuel con-sumption of 5,4 litre per 100 km.

The Pronto uses the same top-hinged hatch and standard-height load-lip as the Spark and with the retention of the rear doors it creates easy ac-cess to the load bay. The floor area is flat and unobstructed with a full-size spare wheel lurking beneath. The rear side windows feature metal tubing bolted to the frames to protect the cargo.

As a bonus, a full VAT rebate on the purchase price for VAT-registered business operators applies, seeing that the Pronto is classed as a commercial vehicle. Safety features include driver’s and front passenger’s airbags and the passenger airbag de-activation switch, an Anti-lock Braking Sys-tem (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribu-tion (EBD) braking system and a front seatbelt reminder.

Quality used and still like new Chevrolet Spark Prontos are available at Westvaal Polokwane G2 in 86 Schoeman Street or contact them on 015 297 2377.

The Mitchell House College Grade 12 learners kept the curious onlookers waiting before arriv-ing in a range of sporty vehicles and fashion-able flair at their Matric Farewell at Fusion Boutique Hotel on Friday night.

Earlier in the day the learners had their final assembly before the spring holidays to give them enough time to dress up in all their finery. The matrics did not disappoint and wowed the spectators with their stunning out-fits. When they return to school in October the festivities will soon become a distant memory as the learners prepare for their final exams.

With the rainy season still to arrive in

Limpopo, August and September has been a busy time for fire fight-ers attached to Work-ing on Fire (WoF) with a total of 265 fires that have been suppressed to date since the start of the fire season at the beginning of May.

Out of this total 118 fires occurred in August alone with 19 049 hectares of veld and grazing destroyed since the start of the fire season. Out of this total, 17 834 ha of vegetation was destroyed by veld fires in Limpopo in August, according to a media state-ment released by WoF last week.

WoF National Communications

Manager, Linton van Rensburg said the hot, dry and windy weather conditions countrywide last week resulted in the worst veld fires in seven years. “More than 1 000 WoF fire fighters, 13 spotter aircraft, 19 fixed wing fire bombers and eight helicopters water bombers were deployed to suppress over 30 runaway fires a day throughout the country,” Van

Rensburg said in the press statement.

The media release continued that in Lim-popo five WoF teams, one spotter aircraft and one helicopter were deployed at seven fires mainly in the Water-berg district and Kruger National Park (KNP). Due to the strong winds an additional six WoF teams and one spotter aircraft were deployed to the KNP last week to suppress a number of

fires. Although the official fire season comes to an end on Tuesday, WoF Limpopo General Manager Sam Maepa warned that the dry, windy conditions are ideal for runaway veld fires. He urged all land owners and members of the community to be alert and vigilant and report any unattended fires to the relevant authorities.

Onbaatsugtige bydrae tot bloednoodROELIEN VORSTER>> [email protected]

Ter verligting van die bloednood wat steeds die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Bloeddiens (SANBS) lamlê, het Sasol Bendor Donderdag ‘n bloed-skenkdag by hul sakeperseel aangebied.

“SANBS bedank Sasol Bendor vir hul on-baatsugtige daad en vir die gratis was van 26 skenkers se voertuie terwyl hul bloed geskenk het,” sê die skakelbeampte van die plaaslike bloeddiens, Dottie Pinn.

Azel Potgieter, die bestuurder van Sasol Bendor sê hulle hou gereeld ‘n bloedskenkpro-jek. “Dis ons bydrae tot gemeenskapsbetrok-kenheid hoewel ons nie elke keer ‘n gratis kar-was aanbied nie. Ons is baie bly dat die projek ‘n reuse sukses was en bedank elke persoon wat Sasol Bendor en die plaaslike bloeddiens ondersteun want elke druppel help.”

Yvette Prinsloo van Sasol Bendor word deur Thabo Kganakga van die plaaslike bloed-diens bygestaan.

>> “Communication is a two-way street”ROELIEN VORSTER>> [email protected]

A Stakeholder Engagement Session to discuss effective communication between Government and the media and to address various issues the media experience on a daily basis was held by the Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) at Fusion Boutique Hotel recently.

Health MEC Ishmael Kgetjepe said Govern-ment may seem not to take communication serious but they are aware of the challenges and taking action to address it. He said that there are no challenges the ruling party can-not stand up to and they are dealing with the various constraints that exist because they are aware of their shortcomings and are working at finding a solution. He added that commu-nication is very important because it ensures that government is in touch with the public and that the public understand how Govern-ment operates.

Deputy Minister of Communication, Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams said part of her portfo-lio is to engage with the media who are the ambassadors and have the tools for effective communication. “If you evaluate the work that has been done the past 20 years the govern-ment has identified potential threats and challenges. It is crucial that we have officers who work with the people who can com-municate what is happening in the area and to continue to engage with the community,” she said and added that the responsibility of communications officers is to supply the factual information to the media. “Communi-cation is a two-way street and when things get messed up, we need to communicate and share the issues with the residents of the area. By working together we can do more,” she said and added that if govern-ment cannot communicate to the entire community, South Africa will never be able to move forward.”

Ndabeni-Abrahams stated that the right to enjoy freedom of communication also comes with responsibility not to offend oth-ers. “Government is currently focussing on economic freedom by ensuring that people

are informed of arising issues. We have to update our knowledge and skills on a daily basis because the degree that you obtained five years ago is not relevant anymore,” she said. She added that there is no need to shy away from the truth because if you put it in the right context you will be able to voice the reason which adds value to effective communication.

GCIS Provincial Director, Thanyani Ravhura thanked the media for attending the Imbizo and reiterated that government is facing various challenges, but they are

working on finding solutions.A discussion and engagement session

between Ndabeni-Abrahams and media representatives was held about the issues the media face when they require comment from the government’s communication office. An-other problem the media faces is the language barrier and one representative suggested that the African National Congress (ANC) make use of indigenous languages when they print post-ers and flyers.

The GCIS, as part of celebrating 20 years of democracy, has also introduced the Tell

Your Story Campaign with the view to share unique stories, record history and ultimately build social cohesion and nationhood. After lunch, the delegation embarked on a hand-over of the Open View HD Satellite installations systems at Ga Kibi Traditional Council in Ga Kibi village.

Polokwane, a Sepedi word meaning ‘Place of Safety’ or ‘We are all safe’ has a rich history and offers rich rewards to those

who take the trouble to explore it.A mere 10 minute drive from the CBD

brings one to the entrance of the Polokwane Game Reserve. Covering 3 250 hectares, this scenic reserve is one of the largest municipal game conservation areas in South Africa. With its unspoilt Bushveld vegetation and meander-ing drives it is home to 52 game and nearly

200 bird species. It is a shining example of preservation of the threatened Pietersburg Pla-teau False Grassland and plant enthusiasts will be able to view 110 different grasses, about 280 flowering plants and 68 tree species. Call 015 290 2331.

Older than the city itself the Polokwane Golf Course founded in 1863 is rated as one of the best in the country. Former US Open Champi-on, Retief Goosen learned the game here and Springbok golfers Ray Earle and Callie Swart both hail from the club. Call 015 295 4118.

On the outskirts of Polokwane, Meropa Casino & Entertainment World with its North

African architecture is best known for its gaming facilities. This entertainment paradise also houses a bird and snake sanctuary, Wild Thingz. Call 015 290 5468.

The South African Bushveld is synonymous with spectacular sunsets and what better way to enjoy it than with a romantic sunset horse safari and a candle-lit dinner to the sounds of the African Marimba Drums at Nature’s Way Safari’s. Call 015 263 6473.

The Farmyard Trading Post is charming and an idyllic retreat with picturesque sur-roundings. The venue is reminiscent of an old colonial homestead and offers refreshments

Discovery Polokwane this springwhile the little ones can feed the rabbits, ducks and chickens. Call 015 263 6452.

The Protea Ranch Resort is home to a pride of magnificent lions. Apart from charming the visitors, many of these majestic animals have appeared in documentaries and movies. Despite their celebrity status, these predators are wild and their mighty roars are enough to raise the hair on the necks of even the bravest. Call 015 290 5000.

The Polokwane Bird and Reptile Park houses more than 280 indigenous and exotic bird species while an array of snakes, lizards and crocodiles can also be viewed. The colour-ful and spectacular Moletjie Bird Sanctuary, an internationally highly acclaimed centre, is renowned for its outstanding work in the protection of the rare Cape Vulture.

Just a short drive away, Chuene Crocodile Farm makes for an educational outing. This breeding centre offers an interesting insight into the reptiles and their value to potential investment.

The Tropic of Capricorn is the southern boundary of the tropics and marks the furthest point south at which the sun can be seen directly overhead at noon. South Africa’s posi-tion, marginally south of the tropic, dictates that this region is sunny and dry. The Tropic of Capricorn Monument is a marker surrounded by picturesque mountains and vegetation. The koppies are sacred to nearby communities with many traditional rituals being conducted there.

At the foot of the legendary Ysterberg Range is Geyser Station on the farm Rietvlei where an old railway stop and shop has been transformed into a real African residence. Call 015 293 0567.

The Makapan Valley is a unique cultural heritage site that features a history of the Ndebele people and resistance wars dating back 151 years. It is also famed for its yield of some of the oldest humanoid fossils in the world.

Cupcakes for children with Cancer at MoNBARRY VILJOEN >>[email protected]

Mall of the North provided the venue for Saturday’s Cupcakes for Children with Cancer fundraising event and passers-

by could choose between hundreds of colour-fully decorated cupcakes at only R10 each.

Orders could also be placed earlier during the week and according to organiser Elzarie du Toit, boxes of cupcakes were sold even before the event. Similar fundraisers were held at 55 other malls and shopping centres in the country. “We have sold 1 460 cupcakes and raised R14 600 for the children. Baking is my pleasure and I love children. This effort is therefore a combina-tion of my two passions in life and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. It was

the first year that we took part and we will definitely do it again next year,” Du Toit said. Five other bakers assisted Du Toit with the baking and she thanked the community of Polokwane for their support. Hundred cupcakes were also donated to Myn-genoegen Shelter.

Lerize du Toit samples some of the cupcakes that were on sale.

>> Disabled people are often treated

as a separate entity of the community ROELIEN VORSTER>> [email protected]

The newly-elected Deputy Chairperson of the Association for Persons with Disability (APD) in Limpopo, Patrick Tshia is work-

Breaking down barriers in the disability sector

ing towards the transformation of the disabil-ity sector by consolidating the impact of the organisation to the empowerment of persons with disabilities.

Tshia was elected in this position on 15 September and is also a member of the Na-tional Executive Council of Persons with Physi-cal Disabilities in South Africa (NECPPDSA).

In an interview with Polokwane Observ-er, Tshia said he wanted to create advocacy for the rights of persons with disabilities and to represent the structures where a dialogue on disability rights issues can be discussed.

“Generally speaking, there are numerous barriers a disabled person must overcome and by creating an advocacy and awareness, abled people can understand disabled per-sons’ rights and the diversity we represent,” Tshia said.

Being a disabled person himself Tshia, who lost his left arm in a car accident in 1998, said he gained a new perspective in life. “Fortunately I have a very supportive family and they encouraged me to do more, hence my commitment towards serving the disabled. I had to undergo a traumatic amputation after the accident, but it made me realise that I will be disabled for life and although I’ve never been frustrated having only one arm, I had to shift the vision for my life,” he said and added that he can still

drive, cook, iron and do the laundry.“At first glance people tend to pity me but

when they realise my potential, they open up. I can explain the various barriers I face on a daily basis.”

Three months before the life-changing accident, Tshia was a high school teacher at Sebalamakgolo High School in Phalaborwa. He then worked for nine years as a travel-ling store manager at Bears Furniture Group. He said whilst in that position, he trained more than eight store managers across the country.

Thereafter, he worked as an Administra-tor and Disability Coordinator at the Provin-cial Police office where he was responsible for the employee’s health and wellness. “I am proud to say that I was instrumental in employing 40 disabled people in the service. I am currently the Senior Administration Of-ficer at Transnet in Polokwane,” Tshia said.

Quoting the late president, Nelson Man-dela who said “After climbing to reach the pinnacle of the hill, one realises that more hills need to be conquered”. Tshia said he became conscious of the fact that disabled people are often treated as a separate entity of the community.

“To accommodate disabled people in the civil society is a long process. We should not be pitied, but rather treated as equals

because South Af-rica’s code of arms reflects that we are united in diversity. Although we are different, we can co-exist,” he said and added that very few disabled people hold a management position. He stated that the Minister of Justice, Mike Masutha hails from Limpopo and was born with a visual impairment. “The Deputy Minister of the National De-partment of Social Development, Hen-drietta Bogopane-Zulu is also partially visually impaired. My personal objective is to see more disabled people in manage-ment positions. This can only happen through encourage-ment and education.”

He said only 0.97% disabled people are employed across the labour sphere in Limpopo and by 2015 he hopes the target of 2% has been reached.

“Tying my shoe-laces is my only frustration,” Tshia laughed and said he was humbled when his son, after Tshia changed the car’s tyre, said he was a hero.

“I would like to thank APD staff and the community from having the confi-dence in me. The NECPPDSA as the custodian of Casual Day acknowledged that Limpopo is the best performing province relating to fundraising. I need to applaud the people and encour-age them to keep it up and fly the flag high.”

Tshia would also like to thank his family for their support since he be-came disabled sixteen years ago.

>> First SA quad champ to win all six racesWaRREn Blunt>>[email protected]

Former Polokwane resident, Brian Barag-wanath made it six victories out of six in the Q1 Quad category in this year’s South

African National Off-Road Motorcycle and Quad Championship at the Rysmierbult 200 over the weekend to reclaim the title he lost last year to another Polokwane quad rider, Jurie “Botter” Meyer.

Meyer was unable to participate in the last two races of the championship due to injury, but Baragwanath (Team Rhide SA Yamaha) was a deserved winner of the overall and Quad Q1 Class Championship after dominating the series in 2014. Baragwanath started off his vic-tory sequence at the first event, the Diamond Route 400 outside Wolmaransstad in the North West in March with Meyer taking second place and another Limpopo rider, Jaco Moller (PS Extreme ATV Tzaneen Yamaha) back in third position.

Thereafter Baragwanath continued to cement his position at the top of the table by reeling off another four victories and culminated a remark-able feat in 2014 by winning the last race at Rys-mierbult. The tough and testing Rysmierbult 200 outside Ventersdorp in the North West was held in hot, dry and windy conditions over 180 km and tested the competitors to the limit. However, Baragwanath led from start to finish with his team-mate, Hannes Saaijman in second position followed by Jaco Moller from Tzaneen in the third place, with another Polokwane quad rider André du Plessis (Yamaha) close behind in fourth.

According to off-road racing scribe, Elza Thiart-Botes this is the first time in the quad cat-egory that any rider has won all six races in the championship. Thiart-Botes added that Limpopo fared well overall in the SA quad champs with Baragwanath first, although not considered a Limpopo resident anymore, Moller in the fifth po-sition, Du Plessis sixth and Lephalale rider, André Park in the seventh place.

Speaking to Polokwane Observer on Tuesday Bragwanath said he was chuffed to win the championship for the second time and to end the off-road season undefeated. He added that the mechanical gremlins that affected Team Rhide SA Yamaha in 2013 were sorted out and better tyres resulted in the good performances this year.

Having qualified to participate in the Dakar Rally in Argentina at the beginning of 2015,

Baragwanath said preparations were at an advanced stage to get all the bikes and equip-ment shipped over to Argentina by the end of October. He concluded that he is extremely excited to compete in the Dakar and looking forward to challenging the international riders in the quad category of the rally.

Six of the best for Baragwanath as he clinches championship

Golfers come out in support of CansaWaRREn Blunt>>[email protected]

A big field of 126 golfers braved the windy conditions at the Polokwane Golf Club to do their bit for charity at the Meropa Casino & Entertainment World sponsored Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) golf day on Saturday.

Other than avoiding the Wild Thingz pythons that lurked around the tenth tee, golfers also had to contend with the windy conditions that made club selection rather difficult and lots of balls were lost on the day. Visiting golfers, Brendon Reddy and Stanley Sagehevan came out on top with a score of 51 points, followed by Dirk Botha and Jan du Toit, who clinched second position after a count-out on 50 points.

The prize for the longest drive by ladies was won by Bev Weijters on the second tee and Freek van den Berg hit the longest drive for men on the 18th tee. The nearest to the pin at the fourth hole was Edwin Mackays while Phil Swanson repeated the feat at the eighth hole. Naas Vorster was the closest to the pin at the 11th hole and Reddy added to his prizes by hitting his ball nearest to the pin at the 16th hole. The longest day on the course prize was reluctantly won by the pairing of Mishack Mdluli and David Maluleka.

Former Cansa Polokwane Commu-nity Mobiliser, Ria du Plessis now based in Pretoria made the trip to Polokwane to be present at her last golf day and thanked the golfers for contributing R60 000 towards the Cansa coffers.

Second iGt tour victory for du PlessisWaRREn Blunt>>[email protected]

Young Polokwane professional golfer CJ du Plessis claimed a four stroke victory at the East Rand Propriety Mines (ERPM) Golf Club in the IGT Tour’s seventh Race to Asia Qualifying School tournament recently.

With the victory, Du Plessis claimed his second victory on the country’s premier development tour. The 23-year-old for-mer Goose Academy graduate’s lead had dwindled to just one shot after the turn on the last day, but Du Plessis rallied with three successive birdies on the back nine to close with a 68 and win with a 14-under par 202. His nearest challengers were fellow Sunshine Tour professional, Wynand Dingle and Northern Ireland’s John McClean and Portugal’s Antonio Rosado, who finished four strokes back on 206.

Du Plessis turned professional in 2012 and was pleased with his second victory on the IGT Tour.

“My coach and I have been working for a while to get my swing shorter and more compact, and it’s really nice to see the work pay off like this. Hopefully I can carry this form and confidence into the Vodacom Origins tournament at Vaal de Grace next week,” Du Plessis said on the IGT Tour website.

It was the magnificent nine under par 63 in the second round that paved the way for victory for Du Plessis after he carded a 71 in the first round. Although he endured a spell in the doldrums early this season, he started hitting his stride in April and recently posted a season-best tie for fourth at the Vodacom Origins in KwaZulu-Natal.

Following a fifth consecutive loss in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) at the hands of Mamelodi Sundowns at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday, Polokwane City Football Club has shifted their focus to the Telkom Knockout Cup.

City will travel to Johannesburg on Saturday for a duel with last season finalists, Orlando Pirates in the last 16 match of the competition scheduled to take place at Orlando Stadium on Sunday. City is currently in 15th position of the PSL with four points after seven matches.

Polokwane City General Manager, Costa Bellos believes the club has what it takes to go further in the tournament despite struggling to stamp their authority in elite league. “We have got nothing to lose in the tournament. Pirates beat us in the league match three weeks ago and I think it is time to redeem ourselves,” Bellos said.

He also mentioned that they are still await-ing the work permit of their coach Kosta Pipic who has been unable to sit on the bench since being appointed in September. “He needs a work permit to coach from the bench. In the

past matches he has been guiding the team from the grandstands and that is not what we want. However, we were told by the immigration authorities that the permit will be available next week,” Bellos said.

The Telkom Knockout is a soccer knockout competition which comprises of the 16 teams in the Premier Soccer League, established in 1982 and was initially known as the Datsun Challenge. Under the new National Soccer League (NSL) it became known as the JPS Knockout Cup in 1984.

It made use of this name until 1992 when it became known as the Coca-Cola Cup. It was sponsored by the drinks manufacturer until 1996, when it was replaced by the Rothmans Cup which was changed back to the Coca-Cola Cup in 2001 due to the new rules regarding to-bacco sponsorship in sport. Telkom became the new sponsors in 2006.

In all matches there has to be a winner on the day. This will be decided if there is no win-ner after full time (90 minutes). If teams are tied at full time then extra time will be played, penalties will decide the winner if the scores are still even (there is no golden goal rule).

Schools in Limpopo are reminded that they can still enter for the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Mini-Cricket Kids versus

Proteas Tour competition where their school will get the once in a lifetime opportunity to play the Proteas at one of the KFC T20 International Series matches against the West Indies in January 2015.

Entries close on 14 October and primary schools from throughout South Africa qualify for the competition. Cricket South Africa (CSA) and KFC will pay for the costs of the players along with their coach to attend the match where they will play against the Proteas during the lunch interval. The team will be mentored by one of three former Protea players who will be acting as assistant coaches to the winning school and play an active role in the team’s preparation against the Proteas.

Three prizes are up for grabs this year for the schools that have entered with the first prize winners getting to play against the Pro-teas during one of the KFC T20 international matches against the West Indies in January next year. The second prize winners will get a chance to act as ball boys and girls at one of the T20 matches involving the West Indies. The third placed school will receive KFC Mini-Cricket sets including bats, balls and stumps.

The head of the KFC Mini-Cricket pro-gramme in Limpopo, Thabo Semenya en-courages all primary schools in the province to enter for this exciting competition. David Mokopanele, Development Manager for CSA said: “We would like to thank our partner KFC for their continued support in cricket develop-ment and ensuring children stay active through one of South Africa’s most loved sports.”

Eighty golfers took to fairways and greens at the Polokwane Golf Club on Friday in sup-port of the Polokwane Chamber of Business (PCOB) Golf Day.

The hot summer weather failed to damp-en the spirit of both the men and women golfers as plenty of refreshments were avail-able on the day. A count-out was necessary to separate the winners with the pairings of Andy Maritz/Brandon Macdonald and Baldwin Ramasobane/Joe Mackays both ending on 49 points. After the count-out Maritz and Mac-donald came out on top with Ramasobane and Mackays having to settle for the second prize.

Another count-out was needed to separate the third and fourth placed golfers who ended on 46 points. The husband and wife team of Weyden and Nola Peceur took the honours and the pairing of Peter Masehela and Liz Southon took the fourth place. Big-hitting Edwin Mack-

ays won both of the longest drive prizes on the seventh and twelfth holes.

Pieter Schullenburg was the closest to the pin on the fourth hole and Richard Schullen-burg hit his ball the nearest to the pin at the short 11th hole. The pairing of Ashley Rasebot-sa and Reuben Rammbuda had the misfortune of winning the prize for the longest day on the course, made even longer by hot weather.

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster-kolwer, Girvacques de Jager het ‘n skitterbeurt van 148 lopies van slegs 92 balle Saterdag teen die Hoër-skool Pietersburg (PHS) aangeteken in hul 50-boul-beurt hoërskoleligawedstryd vir eerstespanne op PHS-krieketovaal.

De Jager se beurt het 13 reuse sesse en dertien viere ingesluit en 130 lopies in grenshoue is deur die kragtige Tzaneen-kolwer gemoker. Een van sy groot sesse het in Voortrekker-straat beland en het die toeskouers groot laat skrik omdat hul voertuie in groot gevaar was as gevolg van De Jager se verwoestende kolfbeurt.

Hy het ‘n bietjie geluk aan sy kant gehad as gevolg van die PHS se veldwerkers wat drie vangkanse verbrou het. Dit het De Jager toegelaat om ‘n 200-lopie derdepaaltjie vennootskap saam met Christiaan Mkansi aan te teken en Ben Vorster het met 359 lopies na 50 boul-beurte geëindig.

PHS is in hul kolfbeurt vir 273 lopies uitgeboul om die opwindende wedstryd met 86 lopies te verloor. Armand Pansegrouw (112 van 105 balle) and Jaco Potgieter (70 lopies van 57 balle) het vir PHS met die kolf uitgeblink.

Met Saterdag se verlies teen Ben Vorster moet PHS

hul ligakragmeting teen Hoërskool Hans Meren-sky Dinsdag in Tzaneen wen om die Limpopo 50-boulbeurt hoërskoolkampioene te word.

>> Proteaspan bring vyf medaljes terug Suid-Afrika toe >> ‘Geduld, deursettingsver-moë en wil om te wen gee deurslag’ RC MYBURGH>>[email protected]

As die enigste lid van Limpopo wat deel van die Protea-hengelspan is wat onlangs aan die European Federation

of Sea Angling-kampioenskappe in Wey-mouth, Engeland deelgeneem het, is Pieter Smit nie ‘n doodgewone papgooier nie.

Die bielies wat Smit al uit die varswater en diep blou see getrek het getuig daarvan dat hy nie net sy storie met ‘n visstok ken nie, maar ook suksesvol teen die wêreld se beste hengelaars kan kompeteer en heel verstaan-baar vanjaar Proteakleure behaal het.

“Die internasionale kampioenskappe wat van 13 tot 19 September plaasgevind het, het ons verwagtinge oortref. Oorsee word kompetisies anders aangebied as waaraan ons gewoond is en die span moes drastiese aanpassings maak wat onder meer nuwe stokke en gereedskap ingesluit het. Die kampioenskappe is in ‘n vierdag-opelynklas en eendag-4 kg-lynklas en ‘n puntspesie-stelsel aangebied wat beteken dat punte vir verskeie spesies op die vanglys toegeken word,” sê Smit.

Die Proteaspan het nie teruggestaan tussen 16 ander lande, 18 internasionale spanne en 135 hengelaars nie en daarin geslaag om drie medaljes in die opelynklas en twee in die 4 kg-lynklas in te oes. Twee daarvan is silwer en die res bronsmedaljes. Smit het individueel 230 visse tydens die kampioenskap uitgetrek.

“Ek het langs die viswater grootgeword

en het sedert vyfjarige ouderdom baie tyd saam met my oupa en pa spandeer,” sê Smit wat die afgelope vyf jaar by ligtegerei-hengel betrokke is. Hy het deur die jare provinsiale kleure vir diepsee-, swartbaars-, oewer- en ligtegereihengel verwerf.

Die grootste visse wat hy al uitgetrek het, is ‘n 184 kg marlyn, 19,8 kg baber, 46 kg vlinderstraal (diamond ray) en ‘n 28 kg kabeljou. “Die natuurlewe en rustig-heid wat met hengel gepaard gaan is die grootste trekpleister en rede hoekom ek nie vinnig my visstokke sal wegpak nie. Ek het nie ‘n spesifieke voorkeurvis nie want ek geniet dit om enige vis te vang. Die grootste uitdaging is om geduldig te bly as die visse nie byt nie want dan skop jou sesde sintuig in en begin jy soos die visse dink,” skerts hy.

Geduld, deursettingsvermoë en die wil om te wen is volgens Smit die beste eien-skappe van ‘n suksesvolle hengelaar. Hy en sy spanlede doen baie moeite met aas en die voorbereiding van hul gereedskap voor ‘n kompetisie. Smit respekteer die natuur en vislewe en is ‘n groot voorstander van vang en teruggooi. “Sommige vis sal ek vir eie gebruik hou. My lekkerste varswatervis is forel of kurper terwyl dorado my gunste-lingseevis is. Ek is eintlik glad nie kieskeurig as dit by kos uit ‘n dam of die see kom nie.”

Die Visarend Hengelklub waarvan hy lid is hou elke tweede naweek van elke tweede maand ‘n kompetisie en die vol-gende een vind op 8 November by die Flag Boshielodam (Arabiedam) plaas.

“Ons wil graag die plaaslike klub uitbrei en hengel veral onder die jonger geslag en vroue bekendstel. Dit is ‘n heerlike stokperdjie vir die wat net wil ontspan terwyl dit die ideale geleentheid vir ernstige hengelaars bied om in ‘n sport te presteer,” sê Smit.

Om by die klub aan te sluit, kan die voorsitter, Danie van der Merwe by 083 638 4000 geskakel word.
