Residents of George’s Valley took matters into their own hands on Thursday (yester-day) morning and blockaded the R528 with their personal vehicles. This was to prevent heavy vehicles from using the route between Tzaneen and Hae-nertsburg. The move followed after

the R528 was offi cially closed to heavy vehicles the day before, because of a life-threatening sink hole.

It is reported that residents of Magoebaskloof removed the road

closure signs the night before and trucks were still using the route. “We were granted permission by Mr Vic-tor Khumalo, the head of Provincial Traffi c in Tzaneen to use our own

vehicles to block the road, as the truck drivers were paying no heed to the traffi c offi cers

stationed there,” said a member of the George’s Valley Residents Associ-ation. “It seems that now the situa-tion has turned into a case of neigh-bourhood versus neighbourhood.”

The R528 through George’s Val-ley is offi cially closed to heavy vehicles as of Wednesday this week. Many vehicles were bad-ly damaged this week after hit-ting a massive sinkhole. An in-spection team determined the

road to be unsafe for use after discovering that the galvanised culvert beneath the road’s sur-face had lost “structural integri-ty”. What was believed to be a pothole has now offi cially been labelled a sinkhole. Motorists

are urged to use alternative routes when travelling. Visit our website for a video on the dangers of this section of the road and browse more im-ages on the imminent collapse of the culvert.

The numbers on page 410 of the Estimates of National Expenditure (ENE) tabled in Par-liament on Budget Day show VIP protection services (by the SA Police Service) received raises well above infl ation, amounting to an almost 50% increase over the past three years: from R748,2-million in 2012/13 to R1,12-billion in the 2015/16 fi nancial year.

In the current 2016/17 fi nancial year the al-location increases by 14% to R1,26-billion. In addition, R967,2-million is allocated for mo-bile and static protection — jargon for look-ing aft er dignitaries in transit and at venues, be it their homes, offi ces or elsewhere. That’s a total of R2,23-billion this year.

In addition, the police protection services al-locations include R254-million for operational support, or administration, and R124.1-mil-lion for the government security regulator, which checks on national key points. Ac-cording to the ENE, this brings the total to R2.6-billion for the 2016/17 fi nancial year.

It’s a small percentage of the police’s overall R80.9-billion budget, but compare the protection services allocation to the R1.87-billion given to foren-sic services, the laboratory services to process DNA, test drugs and other evi-dence needed for criminal cases from murder, rape, housebreaking and others.

Or the R1.43-billion allo-cated to specialised inves-tigations, including nation-al priority crimes such as criminal syndicates, serious violent crime and corrup-tion. Or the R2.2-billion al-located to the criminal record centre, to pro-vide eff ective and credible records of crime scene management and criminal records.

Parliament since 2009 has the power to amend, or even decline, budgetary alloca-tions in terms of the Money Bills Amend-ment Procedure and Related Matt ers Act. To date MPs have not exercised this right.

According to the narrative of the ENE’s Vote 23, VIP protection services provide security to the president, his deputy, former presi-dents, their spouses and other identifi ed dig-nitaries. The SAPS annual report adds minis-ters, deputy ministers, and foreign heads of state and, at provincial level, premiers and MECs to those gett ing VIP protection.

This VIP protection service includes the presidential protection service, with its own logo and even lapel butt ons, although there is no specifi c reference to its fi nances in ei-

ther the ENE or the SAPS 2014/15 annual report. Therefore it’s impossible to say how much of the protection budget is specifi cal-ly earmarked for the presidential protection service in all its facets, including the coun-terassault unit which accompanies the presi-dent even to the parliamentary precinct.

However, the SAPS 2014/15 annual report, the latest available, talks of the presidential protection service’s performance: there were no security breaches. And there’s a general reference to the counterassault SAPS unit: “The counterassault team, which deals with high-risk situations that require specialised, skilled members, was involved in 900 local movements and 71 foreign deployments, which were managed without any incidents.”

While the ENE may have diff erent alloca-tions for VIP protection services and mobile and static protection, the SAPS 2014/15 an-nual report shows the presidential protec-tion service also has a static protection ser-

vice. The four static presidential protection units covered 19 identifi ed VIP residences and four offi ces (not identifi ed in the report) and provided “16,790 protection services”.

Other presidential protection services in-cluded in-transit protection to 16 presidential dignitaries, who made 180 visits “outside the borders (including refuelling) of South Afri-ca”, protecting 108 (unnamed) foreign heads of state/government”, while providing opera-tional protection at the ANC January 8 state-ment and birthday celebrations, the state of the nation address and last year’s two special offi -cial funerals to rebury the remains of struggle stalwarts Moses Kotane and JB Marks.

Under the wider protection and security services programme, the SAPS 2014/15 an-nual report shows in-transit protection was provided to 96 national, 163 provincial and 56 foreign dignitaries, while operational sup-

port was provided at 41 major events.It is these numbers and allocations, against

departmental strategic and performance plans to explain how rands and cents are spent against determined targets, that now will come under scrutiny at the national legislature. The fi rst round of budgetary departmental brief-ings unfolds from mid-month, according to the parliamentary schedule of committ ee meet-ings, although the detailed hearings are set to take place only aft er the Easter recess.

However, the police VIP protection service allocations have already raised eyebrows in last week’s public hearings on the budget held by the two parliamentary fi nance com-mitt ees. Trade union federation Cosatu said the expenditure was a concern. “People are molested by criminals every day… Let’s use the money to fi ght crime, not on body-guards,” said Cosatu parliamentary liaison Matt hew Parks. “We are not saying no body-guards, but let’s be reasonable.”

Police committ ee chairper-son Francois Beukman said a week in April had been set aside for interactions with the SAPS top management. “We will look at everything. What is goods and services? What are the staffi ng costs? And break down the alloca-tions,” he said.

It’s a process that will unfold in all of the 32 par-liamentary committ ees overseeing government departments. Parliament since 2009 has the power to amend, or even to decline, budgetary allocations in terms of the Money Bills

Amendment Procedure and Related Matt ers Act. To date MPs have not exercised this right.

It’s a long process culminating in the in-dividual budget votes, and then the whole R1.46-trillion budget, usually in May and June to meet the legislative deadline. Follow-ing the parliamentary fi nance committ ees’ hearings last week, on Wednesday MPs vote on the fi scal framework, the overall budg-etary proposals and priorities. The vote on the Division of Revenue Bill, which formal-ises the allocations to provincial and local spheres of government, has been postponed for a week to 16 March.

Then the spotlight focuses on departmen-tal budget allocations. But departments have left it very late to table their strategic and annual performance plans. — Marianne Merten.* Credit: Daily Maverick

In the past cancer pa-tients in the Tzaneen area not on medical aid, had to travel to Polokwane for chemo-therapy. This has all changed and chemo-therapy is now administered at the Tzaneen Care Centre at 36 Maritz Street.

Heading up the chemotherapy division is dr Tumelo Moyaba from Polokwane. He admin-isters chemotherapy every Monday between 09:00 and midday. During this time he also consults with patients who are too ill to re-ceive chemotherapy.

Moyaba, born in Musina, was the youngest person in the country to qualify as an oncol-ogist at the age of 29 in 2014. He studied for his medical degree as well as his four-year oncology degree at the University of KwaZu-

lu-Natal. He trained at the fair-ly new and sophisticated Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital in Cato Manor, Durban. He opened his private practice in Polokwane at 64 Plein Street in 2015.

He says: “Oncology is an ever changing field as there are al-ways new advances in treat-ment. This is particularly so in the treatment of prostate and breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer.

“Brachytherapy is now avail-

able for early stage prostate cancer. Men like to ignore things and also don’t like in-vasive examinations. That’s all a thing of the past with the ad-vent of PSA screening for men. A recent treatment for patients with brain tumours, inaccessi-ble by operation, is stereotactic radiotherapy.“

On the issue of diet Moyaba says, “Diet has gained promi-nence due to the fact that pro-cessed foods are considered a

cancer trigger. How-ever there is no pro-cessed data as yet on this matter. What defi-nitely does cause can-

cer is nicotine and certain viruses.”When asked about the contentious and

as yet illegal issue of cannabis oil, Moyaba said: “There is not enough research on can-nabis oil. However, terminal patients who are not on pills for pain take cannabis oil and it’s known to work. However, there’s still no hard evidence that it’s effective all round.”

He added that “cancer is on the increase in South Africa and under reported as the focus is on AIDS”. “I reckon that in fifteen years time cancer will overtake AIDS,” he said.

Polokwane comes to Tzaneen

Slange is volop in en om Tzaneen, waar hulle weens die hitte en droogte al meer in die openbaar en in beboude gebiede verskyn.

‘n Erkende slangvanger van Tza-neen, mnr Raymond Rees van Kill-A-Bug, moes Woensdagmiddag juis bontstaan om ‘n luislang in ‘n boomtop in Deerpark aan te keer. Die jong boom is afgekap, maar die luislang het weggeglip na die vol-gende boom. Dit moes ook afgekap word, voor Rees die slang in die ruie gebied kon aankeer.

Rees sê ‘n groot taak lê voor om mense (oud en jonk) oor slange in te lig, ter wille van veiligheid én die bewaring van slange. Hy het die afgelope tien dae op agt wip-neusslange in beboude gebiede afgekom. Twee is gevang en in ‘n

natuurreservaat vrygelaat, ter-wyl ses deur honde doodgebyt is. Die honde het egter ook in die proses gevrek, omdat hulle deur die slange gepik is. Die wipneus- slang word maklik verwar met die Mosambiekse spoegkobra, omdat hulle op ‘n afstand byna identies voorkom.

Mense verwar ook die gespikkel-de bosslang met ‘n boomslang, ter-wyl ‘n groot verskil tussen die twee bestaan.

Sy raad aan almal is om nie met slange te peuter as hulle in en om die huis gewaar word nie. Ontbied ‘n slangkenner en hou die posisie van die slang fyn dop. As die slang uit die oog verdwyn, hou dit ook ‘n gevaar vir die slangkenner in.

In Tzaneen is die swart mamba,

die Mosambiekse kobra, die wip-neus, pofadder en boomslang die gevaarlikste. Die savanna voëlslang (twig snake) tel ook onder hulle. Minder gevaarlike soorte is die nagadder en die sypikslang, beter bekend as die Stiletto. Hulle is steeds giftig en moet nie eiehandig hanteer word nie.

“Min mense besef dat slange ver-skillende temperamente het. Som-mige gevaarlike slange sal toelaat dat hulle opgetel en gestreel word (beslis nie aan te beveel nie), ter-wyl ander op die vlug slaan of ag-gressief sal optree.”

Volgens hom beplan die orga- nisasie Limpopo Snake Removal ‘n rehabilitasiesentrum vir slange (slangpark) naby die Eiland in die Letsitele-omgewing. Dit is aan-

gevoor deur mnr Ben Schalkwyk van Modjadjiskloof en reeds in ‘n gevorderde stadium. Daar is egter nog sekere vereistes wat nagekom moet word, oor die grootte van hokke en ander regulasies.

Slange wat daar gevestig word, sal na rehabilitasie weer in die natuur vrygelaat word om plek te maak vir nuwe “vangste”.

Rees het onlangs ‘n uiters skaars slangsoort in Tzaneen aangekeer. Die slakvreter is ‘n nie-giftige soort en aan die meeste mense (en slang-vangers) onbekend. Die slakvreter is nie losgelaat nie, maar na ‘n slangpark gestuur weens sy son-derlike voorkoms.

Rees bestry peste en plae as ‘n besigheid, maar vang graag slange gratis weens sy liefde vir die natuur.

Rees is bereikbaar by 073 166 3651 — as daar ‘n seilende koue kalant in jou kamer sy kop uitsteek.

Slange is niemand se speelgoed nieDr Tumelo Moyaba.

The notorious R528 between Tzaneen and Haenertsburg added at least eight vehicles and a truck to its ever increasing tally this week — and fi nally authorities seem to be paying att ention. In the 24 hours between Tuesday and Wednesday morning, a local towing service had their hands full with break downs as one aft er the other, motor-ists fell victim to one particular section of this road.

Roughly 22 kilometres in the direction of Haenertsburg when travelling from Tzaneen the road spirals downhill into an S-bend with the fi nal corner entering a sharp incline back to the top. There are no shoulders along this narrow section of the route and a sheer four metre drop hugs the road surface on either side. Motorists travelling in either direction

are blind to approaching traffi c until enter-ing the bend.

It is right here, in the middle of the already treacherous bend, where a dip the size of a regular family sedan has formed with no way of evading it without going off -road or hitt ing oncoming traffi c. “This has now become ridiculous and the residents along George’s Valley are fed up with the lack of interest shown by Limpopo’s roads depart-ment to rectify the situation. People are go-ing to die here and ‘sorry’ won’t console their grieving families,” said one angry member of the George’s Valley Residents Association (GVRA) at the scene.

According to him, the problem lies with the heavy vehicle operators who use the R528 in order to evade the weighbridge at Mooketsi.

“The trucks are liter-ally tearing this road apart and the depart-ment of roads just don’t seem to care. It is an old problem and locals are very much aware of it, but nothing is done other than fi lling the hole when someone loses a vehicle.”

This week, he took it upon himself to in-vestigate the matt er

and made a spine-chilling discovery — the road is busy collapsing. The corrugated cul-vert beneath this section of the road has lost its structural integrity through years of ero-sion and rust. It can no longer support the weight of the tarmac above it and is literally collapsing on itself.

“What was seen as a mere pothole is in fact a sink-hole which could give way without warning at any moment. The entire sec-tion of road will fall away.” An emergency meeting was called on Wednesday morning and members of the GVRA, Mr Victor Khumalo, the provincial traffi c department’s chief in Tzaneen for the Mopani area, Ms Joyce Nenungwi, the head of the department of public works’ roads maintenance, and Mr Pocky Rikhotso, the maintenance manager at the department of roads, inspected the scene.

“This is a ticking time bomb waiting to ex-plode,” said Khumalo. “My problem is that my hands are cut off because all my man power has been taken from my department

and shift ed to Public Works. So now, if we have an emergency, we cannot handle it im-mediately as in the old days. We have to send out emails and wait for a tender process to have a contractor appointed and that could take months. We have to close this road as a matt er of urgency!”

The group spent some time at the site and upon investigation of the culvert it was agreed that the road would have to be closed to heavy traffi c. Traffi c offi cers were stationed on the route and barrier tape was placed around the hole as warning to resi-dents to be.

According to Nenungwi, the road is now closed to heavy vehicles. “We will not allow any heavy vehicles to use the George’s Valley road until that road has been repaired, so we have closed the road on both sides from Tza-neen and Haenertsburg,” she told Bulletin

yesterday (Thursday). Motorists are urged to avoid the R528 and seek alternative routes when travelling to or from Tzaneen. • Watch the video of the delegation’s visit to the sinkhole along with more images of the culvert on our website and Facebook page. Bulletin will follow up on the situation as it progresses.

Probleem woed voortIs daar enige wil by die owerheid in Limpopo om te sorg dat die dood van ons provinsie se paaie gehou word?

So het ons verlede week gevra, oor die krisis op die Georges Valley-roete. Vandag kan ons bevestig dat daar inderdaad nie erns by die owerheid is om die veiligheid van motoriste voorop te stel nie.

‘n Senior verkeersman het dié week in ‘n gesprek met ons op een van die gevaartonele vertel hoe rompslomp en die onbeholpenheid van die burokrasie veroorsaak dat die krisis nie dringende aandag geniet (het) nie.

Intussen het die krisis Woensdagaand en gisteroggend ‘n nuwe dimensie gekry, toe inwoners van Magoebaskloof glo opstandig geraak het oor die sluiting van die GV-roete.

Hulle smyt toe die gevaar vir motoriste op die GV-roete, onseremonieel, ongevoe-lig en onnadenkend by die agterdeur uit en verhinder die sluiting van die roete.

Hul probleem? Hulle wil glo nie die gevaar na die Magoebaskloof-roete ver-plaas hê nie. Magoebaskloof is egter ‘n ander saak wat ewe geesdrift ig en met oorgawe en erns met die owerheid uit-gespook moet word.

Maar so gaan dit mos maar; ons mense is lekker onbetrokke en is nie gepla as ‘n probleem ons nie direk raak nie. Sodra dit aan eie bas gevoel word, dan skrik ons wakker (en wil ons sonder die nodi-ge perspektief sake [probeer] red).

What are we looking for in life?• Justice, that all are treated fairly

under the law. • Education for all, the building up of our nation to be true leaders. • Security, the ability to live our life in safety and not fear. • Unity, the coming together of all irrespective of race or creed. • Sustainability, enabling all to live and survive in this world.

So how does this all fi t into our Christian lives here on earth? Taking the fi rst lett ers of each statement we fi nd the answer: JESUS, yes, He is the answer to all our strife and tribulations, but this needs faith, faith in someone we have never seen, yet believe is alive and lives with each of us. This is not an easy concept to grip, but then again we be-lieve that tomorrow we will wake up. We have not seen to-morrow yet we believe. One may argue “How can God/Je-sus be with all of us at the same time?” We forget that God is God and through Him all things are possible. A concept that needs faith and trust. Is this just an inbred ability that is in all of us? I believe so, but it needs work, we need to live our lives in hope, hope for the future, hope for love and most importantly hope that we are acceptable to Christ.

Yet, we oft en forget, that God loved us fi rst, that is why He created us. We are all diff erent in makeup, male, female, diff erent hues of colour, beliefs etc.

Yet we are all one in God’s eyes, aft er all we were created in His image. But what is God’s image? If we cannot see Him how can we know what He looks like? Now this is where faith comes in, if we truly believe there is a God and we trust in Him, He will enable us to live in His image. God is a God of love and if we love one another as He loves us it becomes a lot simpler. Love drives the wheels of our exist-ence, if we do not love ourselves how can we love someone else? Love is an expression of our true feelings for ourselves and for one another. Spreading this love takes time and ef-fort and oft en we complain that we do not have enough time and if it is worth the eff ort. God sees how much we try and will always give us time, even in the busiest sched-ule of our lives. A smile, a thank you, can work wonders in someone’s lives. This is just a small way of showing our love for others, sharing in God’s love for us no matt er how we have rejected His promises to us. So my message to you all is to follow in Christ’s footsteps and believe that through Him all things are possible.God Bless.

South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) on Tuesday accused the SA govern-ment of “disgraceful conduct” in allowing

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to leave the country, despite an arrest war-rant from the International Criminal

Court (ICC).Bashir was not arrested while att ending

an African Union summit in Johannesburg last year as the South African government claimed he had immunity as the head of a member state.

When an emergency order was obtained from the High Court during the summit ordering Bashir’s arrest, government lawyers admitt ed he had fl own out of the country just a few hours earlier.

The government subsequently fi led a plea against the arrest order at the SCA.

“The assurances that he was still in the country given to the (High) Court at the commencement and during the course of

argument were false,” the SCA judges said.“It was disgraceful conduct.”

It was also unlawfulThe SCA ruled that the failure to arrest

Bashir was unlawful and dismissed the government’s appeal.

South Africa is a signatory of the Hague-based ICC, which wants Bashir arrested for alleged war crimes related to the confl ict in the Darfur region of Sudan.

The South African Litigation Centre (SALC) hailed the court ruling, saying it meant Bashir must be arrested if he returned to South Africa.

“The government should seek to uphold the rule of law instead of shielding suspected war criminals and the Supreme Court of Appeal has made this clear today,” SALC director Kaajal Ramjathan-Keogh said.

The decision by South Africa not to arrest Bashir sparked international condemnation, which was met with a threat from Pretoria to withdraw its membership with the ICC.

The Sudanese leader has evaded justice since his indictment in 2009 for alleged crimes in the Darfur confl ict in which 300,000 people were killed and two million forced to fl ee their homes.

The South African government made no immediate announcement on whether it would appeal against Tuesday’s ruling.

The Tzaneen Care Group (TCG) is making a huge diff erence in taking care of the emotional and physical needs of terminally ill people and their immediate families. The Group held its fi rst ma-jor fundraiser at Merensky High School on Friday evening.

Ms Nicolett e Steel from Pretoria gave an inspi-rational and heartfelt talk on what it’s like caring for her terminally ill mother in her home as she batt les cancer.

The TCG’s chairlady, Ms Yasmeen Moosa, ad-dressed the audience and thanked everyone for

their moral and fi nancial support with the opening of the Tzaneen Care Cen-tre at 36 Maritz Street. Moosa stated that the twenty-odd volunteers are all qualifi ed in some discipline. There are registered trained nurses, att orneys, social workers and others. The Cen-

tre also buys medical equipment, like hospital beds, that are loaned out to the community. Plans for the future will include free screening.

The black and pink themed tables were be-decked with snacks from The Red Plate in Haenertsburg and owner, Ms Colleen Venter, used the TCG’s purple cancer logo on one of the desserts. Items were auctioned and lucky numbers received various prizes, including a stay and meal at the Coach House Hotel in Agatha and a treatment from the beauty salon Forever Radiant.

All proceeds will go towards caring for the terminally ill in the Tzaneen com-munity.

Die eerste ronde van die SA Wiskunde Olimpiade is deur vyf junior en elf senior leerlinge van die Hoërskool Merensky geskryf. Die volgende Plasies dring deur na die tweede ronde, wat op 11 Mei gehou word: Bianca Prinsloo (gr 8), Ste-fan Corbett (gr 9), Rose Khosa (gr 9), Xander Botha (gr 10), Nkateko

Shikhati (gr 10), Carmi Venter (gr 10), Marlu Mc Lean (gr 11), Belinda Nzadi (gr 11) en Chelsea Schlebusch (gr 11). Hier is (bo) Bianca Prinsloo, Rose Khosa, Chelsea Schlebusch en Carmi Venter. Onder is Nkate-ko Shikhati, Belinda Nzadi, Marlu McLean, Stefan Corbett en Xander Botha.


Die Hoërskool Merensky se kreatiewe skrywers het onlangs hul eerste byeenkoms vir 2016 ge-hou. Soos in die verlede, beoog die groep om nie alleen meer van die skryfk uns te leer nie, maar ook om ‘n spogpublikasie die lig te laat sien — waarin ‘n keur van hul pen-nevrug sal verskyn. ‘n Eerste keur-ingsopdrag is tydens die eerste by-eenkoms van die jaar bespreek en

voorgelees. Die skrywers moes ook advertensies vir bepaalde produkte skryf en sinne met allitererende klanke bou. Die groep sien uit na die volgende byeenkoms, wanneer ‘n poësie-opdrag die fokuspunt sal wees. Hier is Anize Basson, Elzett e van Dyk, Fumo Chabalala, Laryn Prins en Michaela Viljoen tydens die byeenkoms met ‘n bespreking besig. Jade Barnatt was afwesig.

Op Woensdag 2 Maart het die Hoër-skool Merensky met groot fanfare die skool se ontstaan herdenk. Die jaar-likse geleentheid is ‘n hoogtepunt op die skool se jaarkalender, aangesien oud-Plasies — tot groot vermaak

van huidige leerlinge — staaltjies en kosbare herinnerings kom deel.

Vanjaar het ‘n oud-leerling en -onderwyser, me Martie Tremper, ‘n kort, maar kragtige boodskap ge-lewer. Daarna het almal ‘n spesiale

multimedia-vertoning oor interne wetenswaardighede geniet.

Die leerlingraad het tradisioneel Plasie-eenheid en -gees met baniere uitgebeeld en almal het met oorgawe Merensky in Union gesing.

AJ Fourie, Donovan van Tonder, Joshua Labuschagné, Herman Grové, Angus Dalrymple-Hay en Eugene Pieterse het as assistente by die jaarlikse Malumadag by die Hoër-skool Merensky opgetree. Die dag is deur byna 400 boere en ander rolvertolkers in landbou bygewoon en het van sover as Mpumalanga en Gauteng gekom.

Wolkberg Akademie in Tzaneen se leerlinge gaan vol-gende maand aan die derde ronde van die jaarlikse BCVO Nasionale Bybelkennisolimpiade deelneem. Hi-erby is die graadgroepe van wie sukses in die strawwe kompetisie verwag word.

Links: Graad 7: Jayden Smit, Joshua Lordan, Jahdin Fleischmann en Kay-Lee Jansen.

Graad 5: Timon Mocke, Willem Smit en Marney Kleinhans.

Boodskappe van ondersteuning stroom steeds in, na die busonge-luk waarin die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se wintersport-spanne Vrydag betrokke was. Teen Maan-dagoggend was daar meer as 67 000 boodskappe op die skool se Facebook-blad. Nuus van die onge-luk het soos ‘n veldbrand op sosiale netwerke versprei, terwyl die skool ouers deurlopend ingelig het op die skool se Facebook-blad en via D6 School Communicator.

“Die reaksie van die gemeenskap was oorweldigend,” sê sport-orga-niseerder André Hay. “Minute na die ongeluk is ons oorval deur skole wat busse wou stuur om ons gestrande kinders op te laai. Hulp is tot deur die Blou Bulle en die Valke se onder-skeie rugby-unies aangebied.”

Skoolhoof Chris Denysschen was reeds by Oos-Moot, die skool waar-heen die Vossies op pad was, toe

hy van die ongeluk verwittig is. “Oos- Moot het onmiddellik hulp aangebied en ons besluit om aan die sportdag te onttrek, heelhartig ondersteun, het Denysschen gesê.

“Ons is baie dankbaar vir elke gebed en boodskap van ondersteu-

ning wat ons ontvang het. Dit be-wys hoe ‘n gemeenskap hul verskille opsy kan plaas en laer kan trek, wan-neer een van hul lede in nood is.”

Die ongeluk het op Saterdagog-gend omstreeks 06:00 net na die Mookgopong-afrit in die rigting van Kranskop gebeur. Die Vossies se wintersportspanne was in vyf gehuurde Netshituni-busse en an-der skoolbussies op pad Pretoria toe, om teen Oos-Moot se rugby-, netbal- en hokkiespanne kragte te meet. ‘n VW Polo het ‘n vragmotor verbygesteek op ‘n stuk van die pad waar padherstelwerk aan die gang was. Die Polo en die bus het

reg van voor gebots. Die insittendes van die Polo is op slag dood. Van die leerlinge het slegs ligte beserings opgedoen. Netshituni Coaches het ‘n bus van Thohoyandou gestuur, om die gestrande leerlinge op te laai. Die sportbyeenkoms is afgestel en al die busse het omgedraai terug na Tzaneen.

By hul aankoms is die getrauma-tiseerde leerlinge deur ‘n dokter en predikante ingewag, wat die kinders ligaamlik en geestelik ver-sorg het.

“Ons is ons Hemelse Vader innig dankbaar dat geen kind ernstig beseer is nie,” het Denysschen gesê. “Dit was ‘n groot skok vir die be-trokke kinders en ons harte gaan uit na die familie van die afgestorwe in-sittendes van die Polo. Enige kind of ouer wat berading of meer inligting benodig, moet die skool asseblief kontak”’

Merensky se admin verf Gauteng blou… Dit was on-langs Plasieland se admin-istratiewe dames se beurt om weg te breek. Die eind-bestemming was Monté Ca-sino in Fourways, Johannes-burg, waar die dames hulself bederf het met ‘n massering, aandete en die musiekbly-spel Singing in the rain as die

kersie op die koek. Sondag is daar inkopies gedoen en gefl iek. Hier is die groep by Monté Casino: Mee Char-maine Buys, Anngelene de Beer, Eileen Elbrecht, Fransie le Roux (adjunk-hoof: akade-mie), Linda Badenhorst, Liezl van Kasterop, Mari Weber, Theresa Erasmus en Liezel Hermann.

Two Stanford Lake College pupils re-ceived special awards in the catego-ry Culture during the school’s recent prize-giving function. Maryam Kollia received half colours for her success in music (Trinity: Gr 1 Piano), whilst Ryan Davidson (Service to Culture) was awarded with full colours. Mathabo Male-sa (Trinity: Gr 4 Piano & ABRSM: Gr 1 Theory) was also awarded but absent when the photos were taken.

rowers, Disney-karakters, hippies en super hero’s genooi, om te help om geld in te samel. Elke Vossie se hart gaan uit na Imke, haar ouers (oud-Vossies) en haar nuwe tweel-ing-sussies.

Imke, die Vossies is vir jou!

Nuwe bemarkingsbestuurder vir die VossiesDie Hoërskool Ben Vorster het Farmer’s Weekly se voormalige redakteur, me Alita van der Walt, opgeraap as bemarkings-bestuurder, nadat sy en haar gesin in Februarie na Tzaneen

verhuis het.Sy was die eerste vroulike

redakteur van dié 105-jaar oue landboutydskrif.

“Ons het lank gesoek na ‘n persoon wat aan ons verwag-

tings voldoen. Om iemand van Alita se kaliber te kon werf, is ‘n groot pluspunt vir die skool. Gehaltebemarking behels meer as om te loop en spog oor prestasies. Die Hoër-

skool Ben Vorster bied kinders die geleentheid om hul volle potensiaal te ontdek en uit te leef, met die ondersteun-ing van ‘n professionele en passievolle onderwysers- en

afrigterskorps.“Alita gaan die Vossies help

om ook op bemarkingsvlak hierdie gehaltetoewyding en professionaliteit te handhaaf,” sê skoolhoof Chris Denysschen.

Easter Family Weekend

The Letaba Fire Protection Association (LFPA) is footing the bill for a second Bell Huey helicopter over the next three years for aerial fire fighting.

This decision was made at the LFPA’s annual general meeting on Friday. The expected date of delivery of the helicopters is early in June.

The resources will then include two helicopters, two aircraft support vehicles and one Spotter aer-oplane to be based at their Ops Centre at Politsi.

The LFPA entered into an agreement with the Zoutpansberg Fire Protection Association (ZFPA) in Louis Trichardt to use the second helicopter, if it is available and not needed by Letaba FPA full members. ZFPA will buy their own Spotter plane for this purpose, but it will also be available for the LFPA when and if needed.

The 2015 statistics include five Orange Fire Danger Index (FDI) days and 42 Yellow days. There were

329 controlled fires with a total of 1 419,9 hectares burnt and 134 uncontrolled fires which burnt down 191,4 hectares.

Landowners are once again encouraged to report all fires, including controlled burns, for statistical purposes, which they need to qualify for provincial and national funding.

Two weather forecasters attended the LFPA meeting at Politsi. Messrs Kelvin Price (left) and Giel Hugo (right) are seen here with chairman Trevor Phillips and fire manager Rouan Snyman.

Super brave and concerned Mr Greg Wilson of Agatha fought man alone against six intruders during a farm attack early Monday morning. The safety of his family was the only thing he could think of, and that gave him almost supernatural power to stand up against the six men.

According to reports the incident occurred just after 05:00 when Greg heard a noise at the kitchen door. He went to investigate and found one man attempting to enter their home. He wrestled the man to the ground, but the suspect managed to escape leaving behind a pistol and a few other items on the lawn.

Greg and his wife, Sandy, were standing in the kitchen a few mo-ments later, contemplating the event, when a man entered the kitchen door wielding a pistol. “We had called for help and were busy discussing what happened when suddenly a hand holding a gun appeared through the

door. I screamed and ran to the kids’ room, where I locked myself in with them,” recalled Sandy.

“Greg stayed in the kitchen to con-front the intruder. There were a few loud bangs and glass shattering on the other end of the house as our glass door shattered. I heard loud scuffling and men shouting at each other. I knew then that there were more of them. They wanted guns and the keys to the security gate that was protect-ing me and our children from them.

“The men asked my husband if we had guns in the house. He said no and asked them if they wanted the tv and other electronics instead. At this point I heard some more scuffling and loud conversation. When it was quiet and I could hear that they were gone, I came out of the room and saw that Greg was in need of medical at-tention so we rushed off to hospital.”

Greg had been hit over the head with a rock by one of the suspects

during the skirmish, but had not lost consciousness. He was treated later that morning at Mediclinic Tzaneen and at the time of talking to Bulletin, Greg and Sandy were underway back home. Members of Northern Security responded to the call and met with SAPS patrol units who accompanied them to the Wilson household.

Upon their arrival on the scene they did a search of the surroundings as it was believed that the suspects may have been in the vicinity. The search continued and a few hours later a private helicopter had joined the Politsi SAPS K-9 unit in the search.

At roughly 14:00 that afternoon the search was called off and at the time of going to print, the suspects were still at large. “We won’t be staying there for a while. We just don’t think it’s safe and we are all still pretty shocked at what happened.”

The annual general meeting of the LFPA was well attended this year

Twenty underprivileged pupils from Rathaga Pri-mary school in Bodupe Village, Bolodedu, were overjoyed when they received brand new school uniforms from Sadmon Projects and Consulting and the Greater Letaba Municipality.

Teachers and parents heaped praise upon the highly esteemed Sadmon and the GLM for the generosity and for bettering the life of the needy pupils.

The recipients of the uniforms could barely con-tain their excitement and are relieved that they can now proudly attend school wearing their uniforms.

The Mayor of Greater Letaba Municipality, Mr Godfrey City Modjadji, reiter-ated the dire need to properly dress, educate and empower the children. “We are grateful be-cause Sadmon came to our aid by

donating school uniforms to the needy pupils. As the government we can’t allow a pupil not going to school due to the fact that he/she lacks a school uniform,” said Modjadi.

Emelina Monyepao (73), the grandmother of Mahlatse Monyepao who is in Gr 4, said she was extremely happy for what the donor has done. “If it wasn’t for his good heart I would have had to use my social grant money to buy a uniform for my grandson, as her mother is sick and unemployed,” said Monyepao.

The initiative to reach out to the needy pupils of Fofoza was launched by Const Jessica Makhubele, who saw a need when she came across a pupil from Fofoza. The pupil’s shoes were literally falling apart.“I am extremely happy for having received such a great turn out from certain donors and the Police’s provincial commissioner,” said Makhubele. The headmaster of the school, Ms Phakhu-la, acknowledged the presence of the digni-taries. “We are thankful to receive such an honour. Today 67 pupils received complete school uniforms. SAPS, you’ve made us proud,” said Phakula.Mr T Baloyi, a member of the school’s govern-ing body, said he was impressed and great-ful for what SAPS did to help.

Commercial News

Mina’s is an event off ering very special cui-sine in the Haenertsburg area as well as craft beer, wine and live laid back music. The stalls start on the stoep of a large farmhouse. Inside it’s just one aroma aft er another and one deli-cious stall aft er another preparing food.

Outside are long trestle tables with benches that can seat some 200 people. There are logs for sitt ing, a kiddies’ playground with sand-pit nearby and all of this under huge, old oak trees with a view that ‘skriks for niks’.

To get to Mina’s turn off onto the Cheerio Road outside Haenertsburg, and head along a 7 km well sign-posted dirt road. The farm lies on the banks of the Broederstroom and is home to the Tooley family.

Mina’s is held the fi rst Sunday of March, June, September and December. Last Sunday was a perfect sunny day. Some of the food stalls were the Red Plate with fresh dishes from the lakes and gardens; the Pot & Plow

with a pizza oven in which pizzas were being fi red; Mina’s prepared tapas; Wegraakbosch presented its cheeses and MaGriet had her sweet treats.

Mina’s owner, Ms Denise Tooley, with her usual

broad smile and un-fl appable personali-ty, marvelled at the incredible turn out and apologized to customers who didn’t have seating.Tooley, a Rhodes uni-

versity graduate, togeth-er with husband Rob and

adult children, Luca, Rebecca and Lulu, always makes one feel

welcome One of the reasons for the mete-oric success of Mina’s is the Tooley family’s att itude towards customers and their striv-ing for excellence in whatever they do. Ms Tooley is also an expert in event planning and Sunday was testimony to her expertise in this fi eld.

Some twenty years ago Ms Tooley ran the successful restaurant Greenwood’s in the village. At the time she was pregnant with Lulu, yet her multi-tasking abilities let her carry off all of it with aplomb.

Mina’s is defi nitely a Sunday to ring in red on your calendar. The good music from Steve Howells and his friends, the food, the drink and the cool people made this a pleasant Sunday to look forward to repeating every three months.

Miskien is ŉ rybewystoets erger, maar Vrydag se krieket tussen Suid-Afrika en Engeland sal self derduisende mense se senuwees tot breekpunt toe laat span.

Die spanne speel in Moembai in die T20-wêreldtoer-nooi in ŉ kragmeting wat moontlik die hoogtepunt van die naweek se sportdekking op televisie sal wees.

Aan opwinding en spanning sal daar ook geen tekort wees wanneer die Stormers en die Brumbies mekaar in ŉ Superrugby-wedstryd op Nuweland bydam nie. Dit geld ook die plaaslike onderonsies tussen die Bulls en die Sharks en die Lions en die Cheetas.

Die manne vir wie die reuk van petrol onweerstaan-baar is, sal seker maak hulle loop nie die regstreekse uitsendings van die Australiese Grand Prix en die mo-torfi etswedrenne in Katar mis nie.

Atletiek, gholf en tennis in die Verenigde State en Hekkie Budler se boksgeveg teen Byron Rojas sal na verwagting ook deur skouspelagtige aksie gekenmerk word.

Oubal moet ruiterlik erken dat hy laas in die laat sewenti-ger- en vroeë tagtigerjare van die vorige eeu ernstig tennis gekyk het. Dis nie dat Oubal nie van tennis hou nie, maar die voorste spelers het mett ertyd net te vaal en eendimen-sioneel na Oubal se sin geraak.

‘Tja, waar is die dae toe John McEnroe, Ilie Nastase, Jimmy Connors en dié snare ons met hulle manewales op die baan ver-maak het — manewales wat dikwels min met tennis te doen gehad het, maar besonder baie kleur aan die spel gegee het.

“Love fi ft een.” “What? The ball was in!” “The ball was out, Mr McEnroe, love fi ft een.” “It was in!” [Breek raket op baan.] “Abuse of court, love thirty!” En dan het die Super-brat voortgegaan om die wedstryd op ‘n drafstap te wen, oor hy sy opponent so verbouereer het dat die vergeet het hoe om te speel. “Gamesmanship” wat ou Sean Fitzpatrick na ‘n amateur laat lyk het — ons het hom so gehaat dat ons eintlik lief geword het vir hom!

Die feit dat ons destyds darem self twee van die wêreld se voorste spelers in Johan Kriek en Kevin Curren gehad het, al het hulle Amerikaanse burgers geword, het tenniskyk nog meer kykbaar gemaak, om nie te praat van vrouespelers soos Evonne Goolagong en Chriss Evert nie! Maar toe ver-

dwyn hierdie karakters en vaalseuns soos Pete Sampras neem oor en tennis word vir Oubal onkykbaar vervelig.

Oubal het wel verneem dat daar onlangs spelers op die toneel verskyn het wat meer kykbaar as ander is, maar die gogga het nooit weer gebyt nie. Een so ‘n kykbare speler is glo ‘n Russiese dametjie genaamd Maria Sharapova, van wie Oubal die afgelope week bewus geword het, maar wie hy onwaarskynlik die kans sal kry om te sien speel.

‘Tja, Me Sharapova is om die verkeerde redes in die nuus. Positief getoets vir die onlangs verbode prestasie-bevor-derende middel meldonium. Nie dat Oubal veel weet van verbode middels nie, maar hy moet bieg hy het nog nooit voorheen van meldonium gehoor nie. Dit blyk nou dis ‘n middel wat feitlik net in Oos-Europese lande gebruik word vir die behandeling van vernoude hartslagare.

Sedert begin Januarie is vyft ien sportmanne en -vroue wêreldwyd positief getoets vir die middel, waarvan ‘n volle nege Russe is, Sharapova inkluis. Dit maak Oubal

ietwat bekommerd oor Russiese sportmanne, want dit smaak hom hulle speel met hul lewens om met sulke siek harte sport mededingend te beoefen!

Maar al protesteer die mooie Me Sharapova hoe hard dat sy nie bewus was van die verbod op meldonium nie, sal min mense haar glo. Die aantal Russe betrokke vertel al-reeds ‘n storie en die ander ongemaklike waarheid is dat die Russiese atletiekfederasie verlede jaar deur die IAAF geskors is, weens hul slap houding oor die gebruik van ver-bode middels. Dit is gevolglik onwaarskynlik dat hul atlete later vanjaar aan die Olimpiese Spele gaan deelneem.

Vir Oubal is Maria Sharapova ‘n simptoom van wat ver-keerd is met verskeie sportsoorte op vele vlakke, in vele lande, en selfs in vele skole — ek sal aanhou kroek om ‘n voordeel te verkry, in die hoop dat ek nie uitgevang word nie en as ek uitgevang word, pleit ek bewusteloosheid. Siek!

Sharap, Maria! smaak hom hulle speel met hul lewens om met sulke siek harte sport mededingend te beoefen!

Sommige lesers wou ons ge-rooikaart het. Sommige het ‘n geel kaart gevra en sommige sou tevrede gewees het met ‘n strafskop. Maar dit was hoogstens ‘n vryskop werd.

Die beriggie saam met ‘n foto in verlede week se Bulletin oor die Hoërskool Merensky se besoek aan Loftus en die wedstryd wat hulle daar teen die span van die HTS Pretoria gespeel en gewen het, het ‘n liederlike fout bevat. Maar dit was byna soos Saterdag se Sharks-drie van Cobus Rein-ach wat toe nie ‘n drie was nie en wat gelei het tot ‘n strafdrie teen die Stormers en die geel kaart wat Siya Kolisi gekry het. Dit was vir baie mense ‘n onbedoelde en ongelukkige fout wat nie so swaar gestraf

moes word nie, vir ander was dit ‘n moedswillige stukkie ontoelaatbare spel.

‘n “Professional foul,” het mens as ‘t ware gesê.

In die Merensky-berig is gesê dat die HTS Pretoria se span die Beeld Trofee drie keer agtereenvolgens gewen het. Dit is nie so nie; nie eens naastenby nie. Dit is ook nie duidelik hoe, waar en wan-neer dié “professional foul” ingesluip het nie.

Ons het nie die berig be-hoorlik nagegaan nie, die skool se rugby-ghoeroe wat die berig uit ‘n medewerker se pen ontvang het, het ook nie en… siedaar, die kroon beland toe op die verkeerde hoof!

Hiermee word die fout reg-gestel en dit is weer “time on” en die spel gaan voort!
