Sakeman sê die polisie se versuim om hom te help het hom daartoe gedwing om te moor

Apartheid se skuld

Murder accused again changes testimony

- page 3

Apartheid is nie net meer die hol-rug-geryde argument van politici vir alles wat hulle verkeerd doen nie.

Die 66-jarige Alexander Smail van Buysdorp, wat skuldig bevind is daaraan dat hy Cornelius Bruce Joachim (20) en Sergio Buys (21) doodgeskiet het, meen apartheid dra deels die skuld vir sy dade.

Smail is sedert Desember verlede jaar in aanhouding in afwagting op sy vonnis van die Louis Trichardt Streekhof. Buiten vir die twee klagte van moord waarop hy skuldig bevind is, is Smail ook skuldig bevind aan twee klagte van po-ging tot moord.

Smail het in De-sember 2009, net voor die skietvoor-val, gedreig om vir Joachim, Buys en hulle vriende, Levit Harris en Domi-nique Buys, te skiet. Buys het getuig dat hy daarvan oortuig was dat hulle by sy onderneming, Smails Fountain op Buysdorp, by verskeie geleenthede ingebreek het. Sy verweer was dat hy Joachim se groep gekonfronteer het, maar nie bedoel het om hulle te skiet nie. Smail het getuig dat hy blindel-ings skote afgevuur het, nadat een van die mans (hy kon nie presies onthou wie nie) gebuk het, en hy gedink het die man buk vir ‘n wapen. Sergio is in

die kop getref en Joachim in die bolyf. Harris en Dominique het ontsnap.

Smail het getuig dat daar gereeld by sy onderneming ingebreek is, en dat hy al oor die jare groot fi nansiële verliese as gevolg daarvan gely het. Hy het ook getuig dat die polisie op Buysdorp hom nie van veel hulp was nie, en dat hy radeloos was en nie meer geweet het waar om vir hulp aan te klop nie.

Smail het verlede Vrydag weer hier in die hof verskyn, waar hy ‘n in-diepte sielkundi ge verslag ingedien het ter vonnis versagting, naamlik

korrektiewe toesig in plaas van gevan-genisstraf.

D i e v e r -s lag i s deur ‘n kriminologie se si-elkundige opge stel in opdrag van Smail se regsverteenwoor-diger.

Smail het vertel dat die polisie gedurende die apart-heidsjare met ge weld opgetree het teenoor ander rassegroepe. Vandag, het hy aange voer, word misdaad voorkoming op amper dieselfde wyse gedoen en gevolglik het hy nie die hulp van die polisie gekry wat hy so dringend en male sonder tal versoek het nie.

Die sielkundige het ook bevind dat Smail ware berou het vir sy dade, maar nie ‘n poging kon aanwend om die familie om vergifnis te vra nie, want hy is Buysdorp belet tydens

die duur van sy verhoor. Verder was dit ook die sielkundige se mening dat Smail nie met opset opgetree het die dag toe hy Joachim en Buys dood geskiet het, maar eerder uit frustrasie blindelings die skote afgevuur het.

Tydens kruisondervraging deur die Staat het dit aan die lig gekom dat die sielkundige net ‘n paar uur met Smail ‘n onderhoud gehad het, en die verslag se inhoud voorgeskryf is deur Smail se prokureur.

Weens al die tyd wat afgestaan is aan die verslag, is Smail se saak uitgestel tot 5 Maart, waarna sy prokureur nog getuies sal roep ter vonnis versagting.

Smail sal tot dan steeds in aanhou ding bly.

Dien verkeerstekens nog enige doel in dorp?Dit is lankal ‘n bekende feit in Louis Trichardt dat verkeerstekens nie sommer gehoorsaam word nie.

Dinsdagoggend het dit opnuut weer duidelik geword dat ‘n stopteken vir baie ‘n toegeeteken geword het.

‘n Haastige bestuurder in sy Toyota, wat die stopteken by die kruising op die hoek van Leeu- en Bauhiniastraat verontagsaam het, het so hard met ‘n ander voertuig gebots dat al twee motors afgeskryf moes word.

Die Toyota was op pad in Bauhiniastraat, toe dit gebots het met ‘n klein bakkie wat besig was om vanuit Leeustraat in Bauhinia in te draai. Met die slag is die hele agterste deel van die bakkie se

onderstel uitgeruk. Niemand is ernstig beseer in die voorval nie.

Slegs ‘n paar uur na dié voorval was daar ‘n soortgelyke ongeluk, weer by die berugte kruis-ing voor die KFC op die hoek van Songozwi- en Groblerstraat. Hierdie keer het ‘n motoris wat vanuit ‘n westelike rigting in Songozwi opgery het, glo ‘n rooilig verontagsaam en met ‘n polisie-vangwa gebots wat in die teenoorgestelde rigting op pad was. Plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder konst. Irene Radzilane het by navraag gesê dat sy nie wil spekuleer oor die oorsaak van die ongeluk nie en eerder sal wag tot die ondersoek afgehandel is. Sy het bevestig dat daar in beide gevalle ‘n saak van nalatige en/of roekelose bestuur geopen is.

Die bestuurder van die Toyota bekyk die skade aan sy motor. Hy het glo die stopteken in Leeustraat verontagsaam en met ‘n ander voertuig gebots.

‘n Vangwa van die plaaslike polisie en nog ‘n bakkie het met mekaar gebots in die kruising by die KFC in Groblerstraat.

Die impak van die ongeluk het veroorsaak dat die bakkie se hele onderstel agter losgeruk is.

Freddy Azwitamisi Tshikhudo (39), the accused in the infamous “hand case”, has changed his version of events for a third time.

His murder trial started last week in the Louis Trichardt Circuit High Court. He is facing 12 criminal charges of violence, which include three counts of rape, two counts of kidnapping and one count of murder.

Tshikhudo was accused of raping two victims after he was arrested for the violent death of Rum-bidzai Manyere (36). He allegedly killed Manyere after also raping her. Her right arm, both eyes and private parts were cut off.

Manyere’s death was brought to light when Tshikhudo allegedly tried to rob the Elti Café in Eltivillas with a severed human arm during April 2013. At the time of his arrest, Tshikhudo claimed that the owners of the café, Mr Musha Isap Ali Patel (64) and his wife, Ms Hasina Muska Patel (62), were part of the plot and owed him money for killing Manyere. The charges against the Patels were withdrawn when Tshikhudo later gave another statement that cleared them from any blame.

The Patels were the fi rst of the State’s 57 wit-nesses to testify in the criminal trial of Tshikhudo. Hasina testifi ed in court that she was alone in the café when Tshikhudo entered, threatened her and demanded money. When she did not give him any money, he took a human arm from his jacket and slapped her through the face with it.

Last week, however, Tshikhudo reverted to his original story. Tshikhudo stated, by means of his advocate, that Hasina was a liar and that it was she who retrieved the arm from a fridge and threatened him. This was Tshikhudo’s original version of events, which led to the arrest of the Patels in the fi rst place. He retracted his statement shortly after his arrest, however, and the Patels were cleared of all charges.

According to his advocate, Tshikhudo was waiting for food that he had ordered from Hasina,

and when he enquired why it was taking too long, she got the arm out of her fridge. Noticing the arm, Tshikhudo apparently got such a fright that he fainted. When he allegedly regained consciousness, he fell back on his training as security guard and, because he “luckily had a pair of handcuffs with him, he tied her [Hasina] up and screamed for help.”

Hasina denied everything and insisted that Tshikhudo had attacked her. After her testimony, several members of the Makhado SAPS testifi ed for the State about evidence they collected during their investigation of Tshikhudo. The investigating offi -cer, detective Capt Ndou, testifi ed that Tshikhudo fi rst told the police that the Patels were his accom-plices, and then later retracted this statement after he had shown the police where to fi nd Manyere’s body in the thick bushes at the northern-most end of Celliers Street.

After the court heard the evidence of the police offi cials, the case was postponed until this week. The case was to continue on Friday (today), and at the time of our going to press, there was a tri-al-within-a-trial to decide which forensic evidence would be submitted before the court.

Murder accused again changes testimony

Die voormalige bestuurder van Steyn Staal op Louis Trichardt is beveel om die geld wat hy gesteel het terug te betaal.

Jacques Steyn (34) het verlede Vrydag in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof verskyn, waar hy skuldig gepleit het. Sy pleit was in terme van ‘n pleitooreenkoms en hy is dienooreenkomstig skuldig bevind op ‘n klag van diefstal.

Steyn is aangekla, nadat dit aan die lig gekom het dat hy kliënte van Steyn Staal, toe hy daar werksaam was as bestuurder, bedrieg het en

nagenoeg R100 000 gesteel het. Steyn het vanaf 2011 tot 2013 sy van misbruik om kliënte onder die indruk te bring dat hy die eienaar is van Steyn Staal en het so geld verduister. Hy het rekeninge by ander plaaslike ondernemings oopgemaak en produkte vir eie gewin bestel.

Sedert die kriminele klagte sowat ‘n jaar gelede teen Steyn gebring is, is hy nie meer by Steyn Staal werksaam nie. Hy het al by meer as een geleen-theid in die hof verskyn, en het ook ‘n vertoë gerig aan die Direkteur van Openbare Vervolging om

die saak teen hom terug te trek. Hierdie vertoë is in Mei verlede jaar van die hand gewys.

Die Staat was reg om met ‘n verhoor te begin, toe Steyn hulle genader het vir ‘n pleitooreenkoms.

Steyn het vlugtig in die hof verskyn, waar die hof sy ooreenkoms aanvaar het. Hy is gevonnis tot vyf jaar gevangenisstraf wat vir vyf jaar opgeskort is. Hy is ook gelas om die R95 000 wat hy skuld terug te betaal aan Steyn Staal. Indien Steyn nie die geld betaal nie, sal sy tronkstraf in werking gestel word.

In MemoriamDeur Isabel Venter

Oom Joao Lombard, lid van ‘n bekende plaaslike pioniersfamilie en eienaar van die bekende Hengelaars Paradys by die Albasinidam, is Sondag in die ouderdom van 79 jaar in die hospitaal op Louis Trichardt oorlede. Hy is verlede Donderdag in die hospitaal opgeneem. ‘n Roudiens sal Maandag (16 Februarie) in die AP kerk in Louis Trichardt gehou word. Die diens begin om 10:30. ‘n Volledige huldeblyk sal aanstaande week in Zoutpansberger verskyn oor die merkwaardige oom Joao. Foto verskaf.

Streek verloor pioniersfiguur

Polisie moet help om kinders in toom te houGerugte van wat die naweek by ‘n atletiekby-eenkoms hier op Louis Trichardt gebeur het, het behoorlike die gemeenskap se hare laat rys.

Die geleentheid was ‘n kringbyeenkoms wat gereël is deur die Departement van Basiese On-derwys vir skole in die Soutpansberg Oos-kring. Vir dié geleentheid is Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se sportveld in Ruhstraat, Triegiepark, gehuur deur die departement.

Ouers moes met afgryse hoor hoe besoekende skole se leerlinge wild te kere gegaan het. Leerlinge is gevang terwyl hulle seks gehad het in badkamers, daar was ander wat dagga gerook het en heelwat wat hulleself in ‘n toestand in gedrink het. Daar was selfs gerugte dat dronk leerlinge handgemeen geraak het met Triegie-onderwysers wat hulle probeer bedwing het. Onderwysers van die ander skole wat teenwoordig was en veronderstel was om toesig te hou oor hulle studente, kon net hulpeloos staan en toekyk hoe die byeenkoms uitmekaar val.

Die studente het begin oproerig word en veld-items vir atlete ontwrig. Dinge het so handuitgeruk dat die hulp van die polisie en die Soutpansberg Dorpswag ingeroep moes word om die oproerige skare kinders onder beheer te kry.

Die Zoutpansberger verneem dat Triegie-leer-linge saamgedrom het vir hul eie veiligheid, totdat die situasie ontlont is.

Plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder konst. Irene Radzilane het vandeesweek bevestig dat die polisie hulle hande vol gehad het met die kinders. Daar is ook twee boetes uitgereik aan leerlinge wat buite Triegiepark gevang is; een vir drankgebruik en ‘n ander vir die rook van dagga.

Geen klagte van aanranding is gelê vir ondersoek nie, en die skool het ook bevestig dat geen van hul onderwysers of leerlinge beseer is nie.

Dit is nie die eerste keer dat Hoërskool Louis Trichardt die ongelukkige gasheer is vir dié jaar-likse kringbyeenkoms nie. Gedurende 2011 het die Zoutpansberger berig oor dieselfde byeenkoms wat net so buite beheer geraak het. Leerlinge van die besoekende skole was destyds so dronk gewees dat hulle voor motors ingehardloop het, en beide motoriste en voetgangers met vieslike woorde toegesnou het. Party mense is sommer met klippe gegooi.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt, as ‘n voormalige model C-skool, is die enigste skool in die streek wat beskik oor al die nodige sportgeriewe en -toe-rusting om ‘n atletiekbyeenkoms van hierdie aard suksesvol aan te bied.

Die skool het vandeesweek in geen onduide-

like terme gesê dat hulle die gedrag en optrede van die besoekende leerders ten sterkste afkeur. “Hoewel Hoërskool Louis Trichardt hulself geheel distansieer van die gebeure, ondersteun ons die departement in hul ondersoek en identifisering van skole wie se leerders by voorvalle betrokke was,” het die sportkomiteevoorsitter van die skool se beheerliggaam, mnr. Gideon Joubert, in ‘n persverklaring gesê.

Joubert het bevestig dat die skool reeds van die skuldige skole geïdentifiseer het, en dat hulle deur die departement aanspreeklik gehou sal word vir hul leerlinge se dade. Verder het die skool reeds ‘n werksplan in werking gestel om te voorkom dat toe-komstige sportgeleenthede van die departement nie weer ontaard nie. Dié werksplan het reeds vrugte afgewerp, want ‘n tweede kring-atletiekbyeenkoms wat Saterdag (7de) aangebied is by Triegies het rustig en sonder enige voorval verloop. “Leerders van alle skole se veiligheid en morele behoud is vir ons ‘n hoogste prioriteit en ons optrede en reaksie op wat gebeur het word daardeur geïnspireer,” het Joubert bygevoeg. Hy het verder ook gesê hoe trots die beheerliggaam was op al die Triegie-atlete wat hulleself met waardigheid gedra het en die skool se naam hoog gehou het. Joubert het ook, namens die skool, die polisie, ouers en onderwysers bedank vir hul ondersteuning en optrede en die skool by-gestaan het op die dag.

Die streeksbestuurder van die Soutpansber Oos-kring, mnr. Falaza Baloyi, is genader vir kommen-taar rakende die ondersoek, maar kon teen druktyd nog geen nadere besonderhede bekendmaak nie.

‘n Aasvoël het gesorg dat ‘n man agter tralies beland.

Die 32-jarige Radzani Thavhu-lo van Kutama, wat op 12 De-sember verlede jaar op die plaas Buffelspoort langs die Sandrivier vasgetrek is omdat hy ‘n aasvoël doodgemaak het, het verlede

Vrydag in die Louis Trichardt Distrikshof verskyn.

Die hof het hom skuldig bev-ind dat hy ‘n aasvoël, ‘n bed-reigde spesie, doodgemaak het. Thavhulo se verweer was dat hy die aasvoël doodgemaak het so-dat hy dit later kon gaarmaak en

eet. Dit is nie bekend watter tipe spesie aasvoël hy gejag het nie, maar die meeste aasvoëls word gelys as beskermd op die Rooi Data lys van bedreigde spesies.

Thavhulo is gevonnis tot ses maande direkte gevangenisstraf.

Die Vhembe-minerale hulpbronne fo-rum vir geaffekteerde partye (VMRSF) het verlede week gewaarsku dat hy die omgewingsgoedkeuring vir Coal of Af-rica Limited (CoAL) se Vele-myn naby die Mapungubwe wêrelderfenisgebied gaan teenstaan.

Dit volg nadat die adjunk-direk-teur-generaal van omgewingsake, mnr. Ishaam Abader, aan CoAL toestemming gegee het om die Vele-myn se voetspoor vyfvoudig te vergroot.

Netwerk 24 berig CoAL het tot dusver ‘n stuk grond van 109,12 ha (280 rug-byvelde) ontbos deur hoofsaaklik in-heemse mopaniwoud op die oewer van die Limpoporivier uit te kap. Nou mag die maatskappy die myn se voetspoor uitbrei na 499,7 ha (1 000 rugbyvelde).

Die VMRSF, wat uit kommersiële boere, sakelui en tradisionele owerhede in die Vhembe-distrik bestaan, sê dit is baie duidelik dat die lede van die forum se belange nadelig beïnvloed gaan word en etlike omgewingsregsbeginsels oortree is deur die goedkeuring. “Die forum gaan daarom appelleer teen die goedkeuring,” het ‘n woordvoerder, James Hayes, aan LiN Nuus gesê.

‘n Onlangse besoek deur ‘n groep kundiges wat die impak van CoAL se bedrywighede op die Vhembe-distrik ondersoek, het bevestig wat VMRSF se voorsitter, mnr. Philé van Zyl van ZZ2, reeds verlede jaar gesê het.

Een van hierdie kundiges, mnr. David van Wyk van die Benchmarks Founda-tion (BMF), wat aan die Universiteit van Noordwes verbonde is, voorsien dat die Vele-myn ‘n negatiewe impak op beide

Boere skop teen besluit om CoAL se Vele-myn te vergroot

Een van Louis Trichardt se oudste inwoners, tannie Bets de Kock, is verlede Dinsdag (4 Februarie) ná ‘n twee-maande-lange siekbed oorlede. Dié foto is geneem tydens die viering van haar 99ste verjaardag op 3 November verlede jaar. Sy was die afgelope twee dekades ‘n inwoner van Laat Lente, waar sy tot haar siekte nog heeltemal selfonderhoudend was. Wyle tannie Bets word oorleef deur haar enigste dogter, Betty, en skoonsuster Joey, asook ses kleinkinders, 13 agterkleinkinders en vier agter-agterkleinkinders. ‘n Roudiens vir haar vind op 14 Februarie vanaf 12:00 vanuit die Shammah-gemeente in Rissikstraat (ou PPK Kerk) plaas. Die familie het almal bedank vir hul oproepe, SMS’e en woorde van vertroosting in hul tyd van hartseer.

die kwaliteit en beskikbaarheid van water sal hê.

Inwoners van die omgewing is ook, volgens Van Wyk, bekommerd oor die negatiewe impak wat CoAL se bedry-wighede op werksgeleenthede in die landbousektor gaan hê.

Van Wyk het aan die Zoutpansberger gesê mense is met reg bekommerd. Hy voorspel dat die myn dalk ‘n paar honderd

werksgeleenthede sal skep, terwyl steen-kool gemyn word, maar op die einde niks meer as vernietiging sal nalaat nie.

Van Zyl het vroeër gesê dat sowat 300 boere wat jaarliks 10 000 ha besproei deur CoAL se mynplanne in die Vhembe gebied geaffekteer word. Hierdie boere se gesamentlike produksie beloop sowat R1,5 miljard en hulle voorsien werk aan meer as 12 000 mense.

Nature Conservation

Leopards are one of South Africa’s most iconic species, and for many landowners living in Limpopo Province they are part of everyday life.

“Yet leopards are one of the most persecuted large cats in the world, and this year their conser-vation status is expected to be upgraded from Least Concern to Near Threatened in the Red List of Mammals of South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho. Due to their elusive nature, however, there is very little information on leopard population numbers and trends. Consequently, management practices and the viability of their commercial use is often poorly informed,” said Ms Katy Williams of the Primate and Predator Project.

To help advise sustainable hunting and manage-ment policies for leopards, the South African gov-ernment reached out to researchers and conserva-tionists for information about leopard populations across Limpopo Province. The Limpopo Leopard Project was created from a partnership between Panthera, the University of KwaZulu-Natal and the Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET). Six study sites were set up across the province to monitor leopard numbers, using camera traps.

In 2014, the Primate and Predator Project, led by scientists from Durham University in the United Kingdom and based at Lajuma Research Centre, joined this collaboration and provided a seventh study site in the Soutpansberg Mountains. Each study area is monitored for approximately two months each year over a 10-year period to deter-mine leopard population densities and trends. Data collected by the Limpopo Leopard Project is used to develop sustainable and scientifically grounded ap-proaches to managing trophy hunting. “As a result of this research, the government has implemented a new leopard trophy hunting system, which comes into effect from 2015. Some important features of the new hunting system include the adoption of

hunting zones based on estimated leopard density and the implementation of a male-only hunting policy,” said Williams.

As part of this collaboration, the Primate and Predator Project established a 220 km² camera trapping grid which spanned privately owned land on the western end of the Soutpansberg Mountains. For 48 days in 2014, these cameras continually recorded leopard activity. Thirty-eight individual leopards were photographed on 182 occasions. The majority of leopards photographed were females (21). Only six males were photographed and 11 leopards were of unknown sex. Males have signifi-cantly larger ranging patterns than females, which accounts for this discrepancy. By individually iden-tifying leopards, using their unique coat patterns, and monitoring where and when they are recorded on the cameras, preliminary analyses suggest that the leopard population in the western Soutpansberg is over 6 leopards per 100 km².

“The population estimate in the western Sout-pansberg is fairly good in comparison to many other areas, so the mountains appear to be very important for leopard conservation. However, this density is lower than previous estimates from this area, with more than 10 leopards per 100 km² reported in 2008. The Primate and Predator Project is exploring whether this may be because leopard numbers are declining or whether it results from a change in the size of the area surveyed between years,” said Williams.

The Primate and Predator Project is extremely grateful to all the landowners who were involved in this important study and allowed us access to their properties. The 2015 survey started on 10 February, thanks to continued support by local landowners.

For more information about this research within the Soutpansberg Mountains, contact Katy Williams by email at email [email protected].

The macadamia nut industry is a complex one with unique challenges. Thus it is vital for processors to understand these challenges in order to protect farmers.

Currently, says Mr Piet Muller a farmer and shareholder of the processor Mayo Macs, the macadamia market is booming due to substan-tial exports into the Chinese market. However, this makes it easy, he explained, to forget that markets, of any kind, are never stable and when oversupplied and the consequences can be devastating for local growers if prices plum-met and they are not with a processor that has managed this risk.

That, and the fact it takes a lot of time and money for orchards to come into full produc-tion, is why a farmer has to consider the sus-tainability of the processor or consolidator he/she delivers to. “Production costs increase year by year, and a grower cannot afford to take the risk of plummeting prices. That is the reason why at Mayo Macs we ensure we manage this risk and ensure sustainability,” says Muller.

The risk is further increased when processors are new to the market and lack experience, or if they are only exposed to one market be it by region or type of product.

This is where Mayo Macs can become a smart partner for any grower. They have been established since 1999, consolidating nuts for both the kernel and nut-in-shell (NIS) market.

In the Levubu area, Mayo Macs have also been established for a number of years and are focused on providing farmers in the area with a quality service.

They are currently finalizing construction on a new receiving depot with an 84 ton capaci-ty. This depot will be ready to receive nuts by mid-February 2015 for transhipment to Mayo’s processing plants and consolidating units closer to the ports.

“Mayo Macs offers many benefits to mitigate the grower’s risk and ensure them a sustainable market,” says Muller. He further added that the Chinese NIS market, even though it offers price benefits that should be taken advantage of, also comes with a a number of risks.

In a worst case scenario, if demand from the Chinese market decreases sharply, there will be no market to absorb the surplus nut-in-shell (NIS). This means that farmers will have to rely on other local and European markets, which are predominantly kernel markets and hence the nuts would have to be cracked. In order to mitigate this risk, one’s processor needs to have the ca-pacity, if needed, to crack its entire crop in order to have a saleable product.

Famers invited to own the supply chainFurthermore, by becoming a shareholder in Mayo Macs, farmers can buy into the supply chain, which will have them rest assured that there will always be a market for their produce.

Macadamia industry has its risks

“We have a foot in every market, traditional and new,” says Muller.

Owning the supply chain, can become a reality with Mayo Macs, will bring about transparen-cy; critical in building trust between growers, processors and the marketers. As shareholders, Mayo Mac grower shareholders are entitled to scrutinize the financial statements, and manage-ment processes, which ensures transparency and ultimately trust.

Growers/shareholders also become part and parcel of the decision making structures as well as partaking in any strategy decisions by means of board participation.

Invitation to Levubu macadamia farmersLevubu macadamia farmers have been invited

to become a shareholder in Mayo Macs, and in doing so, an exciting sustainable future. In ad-dition to the financial benefits of being a grower shareholder, growers will also gain from the group’s expertise, geographical risk distribution, and grower extension services.

“This is an excellent opportunity for the maca-damia growers in the Levubu area,” said Muller.

Growers who would like more information can email [email protected].

Mayo Macs delivers the very best to farmers in price, processor expertise, sustainability, and extension services. Become a shareholder of Mayo Macs today and own an exciting future in Macadamias.

Own the supply chain.

Sponsorships needed for own observatoryOver a decade ago, the Soutpansberg Astro-nomy Club (SAC) committee and members decided that the club would no longer charge an entry fee or annual subscriptions.

During this time, the SAC has had a long stand-ing relationship with outreach in the region and is looking to upgrade and repair equipment that has been in use for a number of years and now needs maintenance and servicing. “The SAC is also looking into building an observatory to be used for its activities, which will include outreach to the public and schools. The observatory will of-fer a permanent site for at least four telescopes as well as other astrono-my-related equipment,” says Mr Kos Coronaios of the SAC in Louis Trichardt.

Measuring 4m x 3m, with a sliding roof, the observatory will also be used for scientific observations such as nova searches, double and variable star ob-servations, occultations of stars and planets, as well as the ASSA Near Earth Object initiative (NEO Watch), amongst others. “Sponsorship is, however, urgently required and would be greatly appreciated. This can take any form, from supplying mate-

rial to replacing aging equipment, or donating a monetary amount,” says Coronaios. Individuals or companies interested in sponsoring this project can contact Kos Coronaios on 079 148 4934 or at [email protected] for further information. “This is the ideal opportunity for a main sponsor to be associated with astronomy-related education and outreach in the region as well as having a say in naming the observatory,” says Coronaios.

Research

LepiMAP is a fantastic citizen science project which is run in partnership by the Lepidopterist Society of Africa and the Animal Demography Unit, University of Cape Town.

LepiMAP is the continuation of SABCA (the Southern African Butterfly Conservation Assess-ment), and it aims to determine the distribution and conservation priorities of butterflies and moths across the African continent. “Yes, you read cor-rectly, LepiMAP is an Africa-wide project! We want butterfly and moth records from all over Africa,” says Ms Megan Loftie-Eaton, LepiMAP’s project coordinator.

LepiMAP represents an excellent opportunity to make people’s photos count for biodiversity con-servation. They are building up a huge database of photographs (along with the locality details of each photo) of butterflies and moths throughout Africa. This is an enormous, but exciting, task and all citi-zens can be part of it. All you need to contribute to LepiMAP is a camera and enthusiasm.

“Please help us build this database, and enable LepiMAP to produce the 21st century distribu-tion maps for Africa’s Lepidoptera. Unless our knowledge of the geographic ranges of species, and how they are changing over time, is based on solid evidence, conservation initiatives will only be based on anecdotes and the person with the loudest voice,” says Loftie-Eaton.

People can do their part for Lepidoptera conser-vation by uploading their photos of butterflies and moths to the LepiMAP database. The website to upload to is at http://vmus.adu.org.za/ “You can join the conservation conversation. LepiMAP is a great and easy way for the general public to get involved in Lepidoptera conservation, so spread the news,” says Loftie-Eaton.

For more information, visit the LepiMAP web-site at http://lepimap.adu.org.za/ or join them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/LepiMAP/ .

and Car Wash


Sopnat vloere op die grondvloer in die onderdak parkeerruimte in die sentrale sakegebied langs Munnikstraat in Louis Trichardt het vandee-

sweek die aandag gevestig op die bedenklike toestand van die brandblustoerusting in die parkeersentrum.

‘n Bekommerde lid van die publiek het gekla oor die wyse waarop voertuie by die sentrum gewas word met munisipale water wat vanaf brandslange getap word. Volgens die klaer word die waterslangkrane verder misbruik deurdat die krane deurentyd oop gelaat word en die hele vloer daardeur natgemors word.

‘n Besoek aan die sentrum Maandag het aan die lig gebring dat die groot plasse water op die grond-vloer waarskynlik deur onlangse sterk reënneerslae veroorsaak is.Die reënwater het vermoedelik van buite in die grondvloer ingespoel. ‘n Lekkende brandslangkraan aan die suidelike muur dra by tot sy eie vloerplas Die betrokke kraan is beskadig en kon nie toegedraai word nie. Die brandslang aan die noordelike muur is onklaar deurdat dit afgesny en heeltemal verwyder is.

Volgens ingeligte bronne was die water wat by die voormalige “Venda Carwash” gebruik is afkomstig van die brandslangkraan op die boonste vloer van die parkeersentrum. Dié karwas se bedryf is glo nou permanent beëindig, omdat die voertuie wat daar gewas was, die agterste laaisone versper het vir vragvoertuie wat daar vir sakeondernemings langs Songozwistraat diens gedoen het.

Die misbruik van munisipale brandweertoerust-ing vir informele karwasdoeleindes kom betreklik algemeen voor op die dorp.

Die eertydse brandkraan op die grondvloer van die onderdak parkeerruimte is met pyp en al weg.

Lufuno Nauna (Grade 2) ran so fast that her hat was nearly swept away. She represented her team, Fire, over the past weekend’s sporting event at Ridgeway Independent School.

School Sport

Fun in the sun for young Ridgeway studentsThe Ridgeway Independent School outside of Louis Trichardt hosted a friendly in-house athletic meeting the past weekend.

While parents sought shady spots next to the fields, their children competed in three teams, namely Earth (green), Water (blue) and Fire (red). Events in which the teams could score points were

running, shot-put, high and long jump.The Water Team, last year’s winners, sadly came

in last this year. Fire came in second, with Earth snatching up first place.

After the event, the school thanked all the teach-ers and parents who had lent a helping hand to make a success of the day.

Marilyn Munyoka, a Grade 2 pupil of the Ridge-way Independent, loves running and competed for team points in the school’s athletics event that was held this past Saturday.

It’s clear from the look of determination why Finn Straughan (Grade 3) was part of the winning team, Earth. Finn scored valuable points in the 80m event for his team.

Mrs Mapfumo from the Ridgeway Independent School outside of Louis Trichardt is surounded by members of the winning team, Earth.

Vhukhuolo Ratshitanga (Grade 5) of the Water Team tries her best in the high jump.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

Lukas 23:26-49

Niemand hou daarvan om eensaam te wees nie. God het ons geskape om in

gemeenskap met Hom en ander mense te lewe. Tog is daar baie eensame mense in die wêreld.

Aan die kruis het Christus, ons Verlosser, alleen gehang - verlaat deur Sy vriende en dissipels.

Maar die ergste deel van Jesus se een-saamheid was die feit dat die Vader Hom verlaat het. Hy het die vloek van God op Hom ervaar omdat Hy ons sondes op Hom geneem het. Dit is waarom Hy uit-geroep het: “My God, My God, waarom het U My verlaat.” (Matt. 27:46)

Toe word dit donker en dit maak Jesus se eensaamheid nog erger. Jesus was daar aan die kruis, heeltemal alleen, sodat elkeen wat hulle geloof en hoop in Hom stel nooit eensaam hoef te wees nie.

Christene lewe in die lig van Christus en die ewige lewe behoort aan hulle. Dit beteken elke kind van God sal eendag volmaakte gemeenskap met God ervaar.

Wanneer jy Jesus Christus as jou Saligmaker aanneem sal jy nooit weer eensaamheid ervaar nie, want Hy sal ook jou Vriend wees.

Jesus Christus alleen is die oplossing vir ‘n verlore lewe van eensaamheid.

Brief

Debat was besonderse geleentheid

Daisy en Bernard is terug op die plaas en Daisy moet iets vind vir haar hande om te doen. Hierdie keer is dit egter Bernard wat vol planne is om Valentynsdag onvergeetlik te maak.

bak brood en Bernard beplan ‘n feesmaal

Write to us at PO Box 1680, Louis Trichardt, 0920 / Skryf aan ons te Posbus 1680, Louis Trichardt, 0920 of [email protected]

BRIEWE / LETTERS

Bernard stap voor sonop die kombuis binne. Daar is goddelike reuke wat in die plaas-

kombuis hang – varsgemaalde koffie, varsgebakte brood ... Wag ‘n bietjie. VARSgebakte brood? Hier op Waterpoort?

Daisy staan in haar pajamas en ‘n lang voor-skoot en deeg knie. Daar is ‘n meelstreep oor haar wang en sy glimlag breed vir Bernard.

“Ek het gedínk al hierdie ongewone reuke sal jou uit die bed uit kry! Wat sê jy van vars brood saam met jou koffie? Daar is ‘n heerlike camembert en ingelegde heelvye of net botter? Sal graag jou opinie wil hoor van die brood en hierdie spesifieke koffiemengsel uit Kenia.

“Kon nou nie eintlik net ‘n klein bakseltjie vir ons maak nie – die resep is bedoel vir vier brode. Ek sal vir Ousus-hulle ook gaan verras met vars brood en miskien sommer een vir die nuwe bure vat. Het jy hulle al ontmoet, Bernard? Ek hoor die man is nie eintlik ‘n boer nie, sy vrou is glo. Baie knap ook. Weet net nie wat sy gaan maak met hierdie klomp Boere nie – dis maar vrekmoeilik om jouself te bewys in hierdie testosteroon-geteisterde omgewing!”

Bernard staan op en soen Daisy in haar nek. “Hierdie is die heel lekkerste brood wat ek nog

geëet het, my mooiste! Is dit van daardie klip-gemaalde meel wat jy in die Kaap in die hande gekry het? En is dit hierdie brood wat jy beplan vir die spyskaart van die gastehuis? Mmmm, dis elke keer so lekker om uit te vind jy is nie net ‘n ou mooi dingetjie nie, maar daar is ook ‘n formidabele brein wat ek kan bewonder,” terg Bernard.

“En om jou vraag te antwoord, ja – ek het die nuwe bure ontmoet. Miskien wil jy sommer van die vars kruie en baba-groentetjies en ‘n bossie kappertjies ook saamvat. Jy sal aangenaam verras wees...” Voor Daisy verder kan uitvra, het Bernard sy hoed gegryp en die pad lande toe gevat.

Sononder sit Bernard en Daisy op die stoep en drink ‘n dop.

“Ek was toe daar by die nuwe bure, Bernard; maar hulle was blykbaar in Pietersburg. Toe het ek maar net die goed daar in hulle kombuis gelos saam met ‘n notatjie. Sjoe, maar daardie kombuis is van de stainless steel en rakke en Jamie Oliver se kastrolle en gasplate! Dit lyk amper soos ons kombuis in die gastehuis gaan lyk! Ek wonder waar kry die vrou nog tyd om in so ‘n kombuis te speel as sy die hele boerde-ry moet behartig? Miskien is sy juis een van daardie fenomenale vrouens wat als kan doen en dan nog mooi lyk ook! Ek kry die gevoelte dat ek nie vreeslik baie van haar gaan hou nie!”

“Hokaai, Daisy!” roep Bernard ‘n halt aan

Daisy se gebabbel. “Ek wil gou met jou praat oor Valentynsdag. Daar gaan niks snaaks gedoen word hierdie jaar nie, Daisy. Ons kan ongeluk-kig nie stad toe gaan nie, nie eers vir die aand nie, en jy weet ons het nare ondervindings gehad met die kastige romantiese plekke in die omgewing. Maar ek wil jou steeds date ... Hoe klink ‘n T-bone met ‘n lekker stukkie vet en ‘n avokadoslaai vir jou? En as jy baie mooi vra, maak ek spesiaal vir jou krummelpap!

“Maar jy mag NIKS doen nie, my mooiste. Jy moet net sorg dat jy op jou eetbaarste lyk – jy mag ook nie loer wat ek als gaan doen om die plek mooi te maak nie. Om jou die waarheid te sê, sal ek dit verkies as jy die dag in die dorp spandeer – gaan doen hare en naels en lippe en wat ookal – dan kom jy nie in die versoeking om my verrassing te kelder nie.”

“Ag, my liefste engelman, dit is genoeg vir my dat ons net bymekaar kan wees. Ons is mos nou al ‘n bietjie verby die ergste hormone en storm en drang! Maar ek sal dêm goed onthou – miskien kan jy opmaak en my volgende jaar vir Valentynsdag Venesië toe vat?”

Daisy gaan sit op Bernard se skoot en soen hom tot sy ore tuit.

(Volgende week: ‘n onverwagse wending op Valentynsdag. Bloedrooi blessings en hope verrassings vir almal en vir die res wollerige beertjies met mooi liefdeswoorde ... Geniet!)

Brief

“Hoe kan regstelsel ons so faal?”

Saterdagaand se debat oor die God-heid van die Here Jesus Christus

was ‘n besondere opwin dende ge-leentheid.

‘n Debat is gewoonlik ‘n akade-miese oefening waar opponerende partye hulle welsprekendheid, kennis van die onderwerp en rede-naarsvernuf ten toon stel. Pastoor Paul Schlehlein beskik oor al die bogenoemde vaardighede, maar het op ‘n verbasende manier uit die sta-anspoor uit duidelik laat blyk dat hy waarlik besorgd is oor die geestelike welstand van sy opponent en almal teenwoordig.

Paul het sy besorgdheid gestaaf met die woorde van Jesus: “Ek het dan vir julle gesê dat julle in jul sondes sal sterwe; want as julle nie glo dat dit Ek is nie [Jesus verwys hier na Sy Godheid] sal julle in julle sondes sterwe” (Johannes 8:24). Hy het sy vriendskap aangebied aan sy opponent, Maulana Abu Bakr Akoo, wat die Godheid van Jesus Christus ontken. Abu is goed opgelei in sy ar-gumente en dit was duidelik dat hy sy geloof sou verloën en Moham-

med en die Koran sou ontken as hy die Here Jesus Christus as God sou erken.

Die twee partye het daarom gesorg vir ‘n besonderse span-ningsvolle debat - dit was uit persoonlike oortuiging gedoen. Die emosies in die vergadering het ‘n klimaks bereik toe die argumente gewentel het om die feite van die Drie-Eenheid en die twee nature van die Here Jesus Christus. Prof Koos van Rooy, die moderator, moes in ‘n stadium die gehoor maan om liefs kalm te bly in hulle staat van opgewondenheid.

Ek wil graag vir Paul bedank vir die kragtige verduideliking en By-belse verdediging van die Godheid van Jesus Christus. Hy het bo alle twyfel bewys dat die Here Jesus Christus, God is. Ons sonde teen God is enorm groot, daarom het ons ‘n oneindige groot Verlosser nodig. Laat ons daarom in dankbaarheid in die almagtige Verlosser Jesus Chris-tus - God self - glo vir redding.

- David Frew (Louis Trichardt)

Brief

So oorwin ons misdaad in die dorp

Die Soutpansberg Dorpswag se straatkafee op Saterdag, 31 Jan-

uarie, was ‘n groot sukses! Baie adankie aan elke lid van die

publiek wat ons kom ondersteun het. Die bestuur wil net van die geleentheid gebruik maak om die volgende persone en besighede te bedank vir hul donasies: Louise

van den Berg, Jerry Cloete, Roedolf Meintjes, Akker en Rienie Jordaan, Grassnyer Kliniek, MRT Scrap-metals, Soutpansberg Koelkamers, Nzhelele Spar en al die anonieme borge.

Saam kan ons misdaad oorwin!- Nella Klynhans (Louis Trich-

ardt)

Ek was verstom, verbaas en ontnugter toe ek lees van die

kinderverkragter wat “dalk” vrygelaat word.

Wat ‘n teleurstelling. Het die regter die meisie of die ma gekontak om ook hulle kant van die storie/saak te hoor? Of was hulle mening of getuienis nie nodig nie, aangesien daar reeds besluit is dat die ma en meisie verkeerd opgetree het? Is daar ook na die meisie se sielkun-dige en psigiatriese verslae gekyk? Hoe kan ‘n negejarige ( sy was nege en nie 11 nie) ‘n seksuele aksie ge-niet en hoekom sal sy daaroor jok?

Al ses die foto’s is van dieselfde rekenaar en dieselfde weggesteekte “folder” uitgedruk - met dieselfde datums.

Hoe weet ek al die dinge? Wel, ek

is die meisie se ma. Ek het op die foto’s afgekom en uitgedruk. Die foto’s is in ons slaapkamer geneem. Wie ken ‘n man se liggaam beter as sy eie vrou?

Ek kan steeds nie glo dat die man vrygelaat gaan word nie. My dogter is bang dat hy haar sal opsoek.

Aan die gemeenskap van Louis Trichardt wil ek sê: Beskerm julle dogters. Vertel hulle van pedofiele en dat hul wel bestaan. Ons land het elke November ‘n 16 dae van aktivisme teen geweld teen vroue en kinders, maar as ons regstelsel ons as vrou en kind faal, waarheen gaan ons dan?

Ja, ek is ‘n bekommerde ouer. My kind is daardeur en probeer steeds die stukkies optel.

Triegie-leerlinge hou ons naam hoog

Ná afloop van verlede Woensdag se Kringatletiekbyeenkoms,

waarvoor Hoërskool Louis Trichardt die gasheer was en hulle hul sport-velde beskikbaar gestel het aan ander skole van die Soutpansbergkring, het die Triegie-ouers die volgende bedankings:

Lede van die Soutpansberg Dorps wag wat gehelp het om die skare onder beheer te kry, asook

lede van die Makhado Polisie.Dan ‘n groot dankie aan al ons

Triegies-leerlinge wat ons skool se naam trots hooggehou het en nie meegedoen het aan die chaos nie: Julle maak ons trots!

Dankie ook aan al die onderwy-sers wat moes bontstaan, en inspring om die vrede te herstel.

- Trotse Triegie Ouer, Louis Trichardt

‘n Bekommerde leser het die foto van hierdie vasgekeerde boerboel ingestuur. Die Waterval polisie se hulp moes ingeroep word, nadat die hond glo vir twee ure in ‘n geparkeerde bakkie vir sy eienaar moes wag. Volgens inligting was die bakkie verlede Donderdag voor die Office National-gebou in Munnikstraat geparkeer in die bloedige son. Lesers word daaraan herinner dat dit onwettig is om troeteldiere in ‘n motor te los, en dat hulle vervolging in die gesig kan staar. Foto verskaf.

Limpopo hockey players neededThe Limpopo hockey league is set to start in March, and all interested players are welcome to enter.

The league will be played every second Sunday over six fixtures, and all the matches will take place on the Astro-turf in Polokwane.

There are currently five ladies’ club teams and four men’s club teams who compete in the league.

Two Limpopo teams are selected from these players to represent the province at the annual SA Country Districts (SACD) tour-nament. This year, the ladies’ tournament will be held in Port Elizabeth and the men’s tourna-ment will be closer to home, in Polokwane.

Limpopo Hockey is working toward expanding their player base with the view of sending a

team directly to IPT in 2016, as well as sending a second team to the SACD tournament in 2016. Players need to participate in the league to become eligible for selection to either of the provin-cial teams.

Prospective players who do not have a team to play for should contact Melanie Louw at 083 651 7601 as soon as possible for more details.

TOO LATE FOR CLASSIFICIATION


Cycling News

Kombo Bere, the local 17-year-old cycling star, will form part of Team LCB that will take part in the first round of the South African XCO Cup Series in Port Elizabeth on 28 February. The LCB team is led by one of South Africa’s top mountain bike cyclists, Olympian Philip Buys.

Philip Buys is widely regarded as South Africa’s most complete mountain bike racer, being a multiple African and South African XCO Champion. He heads up a team of 14 riders, which include four Elite men, eight Junior men and two Junior women. Kombo Bere has been selected as one of the Junior men.

The team is sponsored by Lead Crystal Batteries, and SCOTT Sports will provide the riders with bicycles and gear. The team

members will also have their own full-time mechanic and coach. The focus will primarily be on the Olympic Cross-Coun-try (XCO) discipline, with World Cham-pionships and Olympic Games success as its long-term goal.

“Seldom do teenage racers get to interact with and learn from the top pro racers. Our team will have that in place, which will be very valuable,” said Johan Hattingh, CEO of Lead Crystal Batteries. “With LCB, there is at least a five-year commitment to this team because we know that you can’t build a champion bike racer overnight. It takes time. It’s an investment,” added Hattingh.

For Kombo, this presents one of the big-gest opportunities of his career. “I am very excited and humbled by the opportunity to

ride with this team. What remains now is a lot of training and not forgetting about my schoolwork,” said an enthusiastic Kombo.

Kombo had already had the opportunity in January to spend a couple of days with Philip Buys. He completed a state-of-the-art full fitness assessment and trained with the Olympian in Pretoria.

Over the past few years, Kombo start-ed dominating mountain-bike races in Limpopo. He won the Munnik Meerkat race last year and ended second in the Akkedis’s 35km race. He also showed his mettle in road races by winning the Vula-Vula 70km race.

“We are all very proud of Kombo and wish him a successful 2015 racing year with his new team,” said Stanley Thomp-son from the local P&L cycling club.
