DIE onwettige besetting van die Sishen-myn isDinsdagoggend vroeg beindig nadat die poli-sie die stakers verwyder het. Kumba Iron Orese kommunikasiebestuurder, Gert Schoeman,het in n nuusverklaring bevestig dat die mynal die swaar myntoerusting waarop die sta-kers sedert 3 Oktober beslag gel het, terugge-kry het. Skade aan die toerusting word herstelen die myn beplan om so gou as moontlik weervoluit te produseer.

Die meerderheid van die onwettige stakers

het die ultimatum om die myn te verlaat enhulle aan te meld vir dissiplinre verhore, ge-ignoreer. Di verhore was Maandag om 11:00en die stakers kon verduidelik waarom hullenie afgedank behoort te word nie. Gevolglik ishulle afgedank. Strafregtelike klagte van af-dreiging, intimidasie, diefstal, oortreding,kwaadwillige beskadiging van eiendom enminagting van die hof is gel.

Maandag het Kumba Iron Ore n bevel vandie arbeidshof verkry wat die onwettige sta-kers opdrag gegee het om onmiddellik die mynte verlaat, die toerusting by hulle uit te los en

nie nader as 500 m van die maatskappy se ter-rein te kom nie. Die hofbevel het ook ingesluitdat die polisie die stakers moet verwyder in-dien hulle nie die bevel gehoorsaam nie.

Norman Mbazima, Kumba se uitvoerendehoof, s die einde van die staking beteken datdie maatskappy so gou as moontlik kan terug-keer na sy besigheid, naamlik die ontginningvan ystererts. Hy bedank die oorgrote meer-derheid werknemers dat hulle kalm gebly heten nie die staking ondersteun het nie. Hy be-dankookdiepolisiewatdiebesettingop npro-fessionele manier beindig het. Werknemers

sou Dinsdag weet of hulle van Woensdag afhulle vir diens moet aanmeld..Werkers by BHP Billiton se mangaanmynop Hotazel was ook Dinsdag terug by die werkn hul staking sedert verlede Donderdag. Hul-le het oor n werknemersdeeleienaarskapplangestaak.

DIE voorsitter van AfriForum seKurumantak, Nico Erasmus, hetingegryp om die wateraangeleent-heid op Kuruman te probeer oplos.

Kragdrade was die rede vir diewaterkrisis verlede naweek.

Ook die besoek van kwaaddoe-ners wat die heining stukkendknip, met die leer opklim of met diekrane peuter, kan verhoed word.

Met Erasmus se hulp is die draadherstel, die hek gesweis en herstelen die leer 3 m bo die grond afge-sny.

Met die swaar weer is die krag-toevoer onderbreek en omdat dietelemetrie-stelsel buite werking is,is niemand gewaarsku nie en het aldie water uitgeloop.

Erasmus s hulle gaan gereeldpatrollie by die dam langs ry en ooksteeds probeer om die ander pompe

in n werkende toestand te kry.In n poging om dinge reg te kry

het Erasmus, Sean Fotheringham(voorsitter: Kuruman-sakekamer)en Muggie van der Westhuizen(voorsitter: Kuruman-belastingbe-talers) n vergadering met die Ga-Segonyana-munisipaliteit bel virDinsdag. Die munisipale bestuur-der het die vergadering uitgestel.

Punte wat hulle wou aanpak, wasdie ontoereikende toerusting van

vreemde kontrakteurs sodat hulleplaaslike kontrakteurs soos DVDen Bernard Whitehead van Kalaha-ri -bore moet ontbied, veiligheid bydie pompe, onvoldoende kragtoe-voer, die verkoop van water, ge-bruik van gesuiwerde rioolwateren die telemetrie-stelsel.

Ook die drie plakkershutte watby die pompe opgerig is, waarvandie raad bewus is, is vir hulle ngroot kommer.

Afriforum kyk na waterkrisis op Kuruman

DIE stortingsterrein vanKuruman staan al langer as nmaand sonder dat vullisgekompakteer word.

Nico Erasmus van Afrifo-rum Kurumantak s dit isonaanvaarbaar dat die massavullis net elke dag meer word.Hy is bekommerd oor dieonhiginiese gevolge soossiektes en besoedeling indiendie vullis nie gereeld endoeltreffend gekompakteerword nie.

Die ondergrondse water kanook daardeur benvloed word.Pogings van die koerant ommet die Ga-Segonyana-munisi-paliteit te praat was vrugte-loos.

Navrae aan Spangenberg-la-boratoriumdienste het bevestigdat Oktober se water by vierpunte chemies en bakteriolo-gies getoets is en aan nasiona-le standaarde voldoen.

Subkontrakteur PieterThomas s sy laaigraaf hetgebreek en hulle het oral vironderdele gesoek. Intussen is

n ekstra laaigraaf by WillieStrydom gehuur, maar di kannie permanent daar staan nie. Opdie ou end het hulle n plek inJohannesburg opgespoor, geld

vooruit inbetaal net om dieherstel van die laaigraaf te konbespoedig. Met al die onderbre-kings het werk agter geraak. Dielaaigraaf is nou reg en agterstalli-

ge werk word ingehaal. Distyd vir herwinning sodatvullis gesorteer kan raak, dansal die masjinerie minderbeskadig word, s Thomas.

Gewilde speurderjag nou op sjebiens

Lizette Slabber

AO PIETER VENTER van die Suid-Afri-kaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) op Upingtonhet die afgelope drie jaar diep spore in digemeenskap getrap deur die aantal sakewat hy opgelos het.

Hy was die afgelope drie jaar verbondeaan die speurtak van die SAPD Paballeloen het in di tyd n oplossyfer vanongeveer 80% gehad. Dit beteken datsowat 80% van die sake waaraan hygewerk het tot skuldigbevindings geleihet.

Hy het in moordsake en onnatuurlikedoodsake gespesialiseer en het ook in diewintermaande aan sake gewerk waarinmense verkool is wanneer hul huise aandie brand geraak het.

Hy skryf sy sukses toe aan die feit dathy so gou moontlik n saak wil afhandelnadat hy dit ontvang het.

Hy glo daaraan dat niks mag oorstaannie, want dan verloor n mens baiebelangrike leidrade. Hy het dus baieoortyd gewerk omdat hy nie kon wag metdie opvolg van inligting nie.

Volgens kol. Elbie Stewart, waarnemen-de stasiebevelvoerder van SAPD Paballelo,het hy n baie analitiese brein en laat loshy nie totdat hy deurgedring het tot diekern van elke saak nie.

Hy is ongelooflik sistematies engeorganiseerd en het n ho vlak vanintegriteit. Hy het baie goeie deursettings-vermo en is vasberade om misdaad uit teroei.

Stewart s verder dat hy baie suksesvolis daarmee om n saak deur die hof te sit,maar die belangrikste van alles is hy baiegoed daarmee om die boodskap uit testuur dat misdaad betaal nie.

Venter is nou oorgeplaas om as drankof-fisier by Paballelo te werk. Hy sal noudranklisensies nagaan en onwettigesjebiens vasvat. Di verandering sien hyas n uitdaging.

In die Noord-Kaap is 80% van misdaadweens die ho drankmisbruik en werk-loosheid. Onwettige sjebiens jaag misdaadop en is ons grootste kopseer.

Tog gaan hy die dae by die speurtakmis. Hy het sake wat nog nie afgehandelis nie en wat hooggeregshofsake kanword.

Hy hoop dat di sake tot skuldigbevin-dings kan kom.

Hoewel hy nie Paballelo gaan verlaat insy nuwe hoedanigheid as drankoffisiernie, gaan hy tog sekere aspekte van syspeurwerk mis, veral die goeie verhoudingwat hy met die gemeenskap ontwikkel het.Daar het n sterk vertrouensbandontstaan en die gemeenskap was baiebehulpsaam. Ek het met die families vandie oorlewendes n baie noue bandgesmee.

Volgens ao. Marina Brewis, woordvoer-der van die SAPD Paballelo, is hy baiegewild en dra die gemeenskap vanPaballelo hom op die hande, want hulleweet as hy die speurder op die saak is, issukses verseker.

Geld vir oues met basaar genDIE Afrikaanse ChristelikeVrouevereniging (ACVV) sedienssentrum hou op 27 Ok-tober van 09:00 af n basaar indie Oranjehof-tehuis vir be-jaardes se eetsaal.

Die dienssentrum ontvangnet n baie klein subsidie vandie regering, maar lewer nomvattende diens aan be-jaardes op Upington.

Elke lid van die dienssen-trum dra n bedrag by vir diedienste wat hy of sy ontvang.Dit is egter onvoldoende omin alle behoeftes te voorsien.Daarom is die sentrum am-per geheel en al afhanklikvan die publiek en vrywilli-gers om diens te kan lewer.

Die sentrum het twee opge-leide, vrywillige susters wattuisbesoeke aan lede bringom bloeddruk- en suikertoet-se en ander algemene medie-se dienste te lewer.

Lede word ook een maalper maand na die munisipalekliniek vervoer waar hul ge-sondheidstoestand gevalu-eer word. Een keer permaand is daar n voetkliniekin die dienssentrum. Twee

keer per week word medisy-ne gehaal en by lede afgele-wer.

Op Donderdae word vandie lede van die dienssen-trum wat nie vervoer het nievir inkopies dorp toe ge-bring. Die lede ontvang ookelke dag kos wat by hul huise

afgelewer word.Om al die dienste te kan le-

wer moet die dienssentrumsy staatsubsidie en lede sebydraes aanvul.

Daarom word n beroep opdie Upington-gemeenskapgedoen om die basaar te on-dersteun.

OM n diens aan die bejaardes op Upington volhoubaar te kanlewer het die ACVV se dienssentrum die hulp van die Upingtonse gemeenskap nodig. Hy bied op 27 Oktober van 09:00af n basaar aan. Foto: Verskaf


Amp mag niemisbruik wordDIE spreekwoord wat lui eenvrot appel bederf die helemandjie is in baie gevalletoepaslik in vandag se wreldwaarin alles aan die groot klokgehang word.

Dikwels lees of sien n mensberigte in die media oor mensewat hul amp misbruik ofsommer net iets aanvang wathul beroep in n swak lig stel.

Die afgelope paar dae was daarweer vele berigte oor onderwy-sers en polisiemanne wat hulamp misbruik het. Van nkleuterskoolonderwyser wat 19kinders in n klein voertuigvervoer het tot n ander onder-wyser wat onbetaamlike fotosvan skoolkinders versprei het.

Natuurlik is daar ook die gevalvan die polisiemanne wat nouondersoek word vir die vermoe-delik gewelddadige aanval op nman in hul aanhouding. Di manhet gesterf weens die behande-ling wat hy vermoedelik in die

sel gekry het.Daar is geen manier hoe die

optrede goedgepraat kan wordnie en oortreders wat hul ampmisbruik, moet die swaarstestraf opgel word. Dit moet tensterkste veroordeel word.

Wat egter jammer is, is dat dieoptrede van individue dikwels leitot die veralgemening dat almalwat sulke ampte beklee aandieselfde oortredings skuldig is.Dan word die goeie werk watgedoen word deur ander in diampte misgekyk.

In die onderwys en diepolisiediens is daar wonderlikemense wat veel meer doen aswat van hulle verwag word. Watnooit enige erkenning kry vir ditwat hulle in moeilike omstandig-hede regkry nie en wat baieselde eens n dankie ontvang.Hulle sal nooit hul naam in nkoerant sien nie.

Veralgemening behoort ookuitgeroei te word.

God moet die fokusvan ons lewe wees

John Clarke

LEES Lukas 10:38-42. Dievoorval van Martha met Mariatoe Jesus haar besoek het, wassoos n alledaagse gebeurtenis.

Ons dink omdat dit in dieBybel staan, is dit figuurlik.Ons sien dat Jesus op reis wasmet die dissipels en op diedorp aangekom het. Gestel joupastoor of predikant daagonverwags by jou op mettwaalf van sy vriende viraandete. Dink net wat gaandeur jou kop maal wat diemaklikste sal wees om vir ngroep van 13 plus jou huisgesin voor te sit. Kan jy jouvir n oomblik in Martha seskoene sit? Sy was aan diestuur van n huishouding, nien plek vir wegneem-etes nie.Sy was n bietjie onkantgevang deur die skielike skarewat sy moes kos gee. En houin gedagte daar was nie nKentucky, Steers of Doregosop die dorp nie. Hoewel symiskien die beste voornemensgehad het en gasvryheid eenvan haar gawes was, het sy togn innerlike stryd ervaar. Metdie taak voor haar het syaangeneem dat Maria, haarsuster, haar in die kombuissou kom help. Hier is Marthabesig om te swoeg in diekombuis net om darem ietsordentliks aan haar gaste voorte kan sit. Toe sy na Mariasoek, waar tref sy haar aan?By die voete van Jesus. Kan jydink dat haar gesindheid netn bietjie getoets is? Ek isseker teen daardie tyd was ditnie net die aandete wat gekookhet nie. Haar gasvryheid hetnou skielik na selfbejamme-ring verander: Here, gee Unie om dat my suster myalleen laat bedien nie?Onthou Martha het geen ideegehad dat dit in die Bybelopgeneem sou word nie. Sywas n goedhartige vrou watdaarvan gehou het om mensete bedien. In di geval was sygefrustreerd met die situasiewat vir haar onregverdig

gevoel het. Dit was haargesindheid, nie haar diens-baarheid nie, wat haar in diemoeilikheid gebring het. Asons aktiwiteit as n horprioriteit sien as om na God teluister, trap ons in dieselfdeslaggat as Martha:.Martha het God beskuldig.Here gee U nie om . . .Baiekeer gaan ons deurmoeilike tye soos siekte,huweliksprobleme of die dooden weens die pyn wat onservaar, begin ons wonder ofGod regtig om gee. As ons kykna wat in ons land aan diegang is, begin ons wonder ofGod regtig omgee..Martha was ontstig oor diesituasie. Ons bekommernissein die lewe kan ons by n plekbring waar ons geaffronteerraak oor God se onskynlikeonbetrokkenheid by onssituasie. Wanneer ons meer opdie probleem as op God fokus,verloor ons ons vrede envertroue dat God vir ons noplossing kan bied..Martha beskuldig enveroordeel haar suster. Datons nie meer tyd maak om naGod te luister nie benvloedons verhoudinge. Ons kritiseeren verdoem mekaar.

Let op Jesus se antwoord:Jy is besorg en verontrus . . .Maar net een ding is nodig.Ek glo die Heilige Gees wil dieskrif weer nuut maak in onslewe om ons vars hoop te gee.Luister ons na God in hierdietyd of het sy stem stil geraakin ons besige lewe?

Het die onrus en die gewoelin ons land jou fokus heelte-mal van God verskuif of het jynog die versekering soos inRomeine 8:28: Alles werk tengoede mee vir die wat God liefhet . . .. Pastoor John Clarke is dieleraar van die KurumanChristian Church op Kuruman.

Fiks word was nog nooit maklikAnnerie Louw

TOE Dierbaarste uitasem aan diebopunt van die trap kom, besluit eken hy terstond om sommer die ysterte smee terwyl ditwarmis.Diebestetyd vir oefening om iets aan die on-fikse toestand te doen was toe.

Ons praat oor di probleem al vanverlede jaar se vakansie af. Dit isamper n jaar later en weer tyd virdie volgende vakansie. Die selfver-troue om met soveel ekstra kilos enmet so min klere aan op die strandteverskyn isgeknou.Ookdiebrand-bors n n paar kilos se stap het ge-maak dat ons albei se Nuwejaars-voorneme net oefening en gesondleef ingesluit het.

Ek sit musiek aan en ons merk dieplek van oefening af. Musiek maakswaarkry soveelmakliker, het ekbymyself gedink. Ons trek elkeen nmatjie nader. Die vloer is baie harden om eers tot by die vloer te kom

is moeilik.Hygend, ek sal Lena moet aan-

tree, want die matjie is verskriklikvol stof, soek ek wegkomkans.

Dierbaarste l met sy o op my ge-rig. Ek moet glo die leiding neemmetdieaardvandieoefeninge,wantek het mos darem geleerdheid daar-in. Dit was duidelik Dierbaarstegaan hom nie steur aan my leidingom sy lyding erger te maak nie. Ter-wyl ek steun met die opsitte sien ekuit die hoek van my oog dat hy niejuis n vreeslike poging aanwendnie.Toemaar,mymaaggaanplatteruitkom as syne, troos ek myself.

Ditwasmetdiederdeoefeningdathy halt roep, want hy kry n krampin sy voet. Miskien wou hy ophou,maar ek is gereed met n Magnesit-

poeiertjie onder sy tong. Vir voor-sorg neem ek self ook n poeiertjie,want ek weet hoe seer n kramp kanwees.

Die moeiliker oefening kry minherhaling en ek maak seker dat diemakliker bewegings saam met dieliedjies se koor val. So wissel onsGert Vlok Nel en Kurt Darren metAdele en David Kramer af. Ons hetdit reggekry om 30 minute te oefen,as n mens nou die oproep aan Dier-baarste en die twee SMSe wat ekgou gelees het, aftrek. Ook diekramp en die doodspuit van n baielelike spinnekop. Ek voel tevrede,maar besef dit was net die begin, ditsal later beter gaan.

Die volgende dag kon ek ampernie uit die bed kom nie, terwyl Dier-baarste se lyf niks makeer nie. Ekhet mos ges hy het gekul. Elke be-weging was n pyniging en ek moestwee Disprins drink. Sedertdien hetons nog nie weer geoefen nie . . .

SAPS helpfulafter accidentJANA BECKETT, Cape Town:

ON 8 September my husband andI were returning home to CapeTown from the Kgalagadi and hada horrible accident between Uping-ton and Springbok. The one minuteI was happily driving on thestraight road at 120 km/h and thenext the car was out of control andwe were rolling.

WO Pieter Burger was waitingfor a friend at the side of the roadand the accident happened in frontof him. He was able to tell me thatit was our wheel that had come offcausing me to lose control. The axlehad sheared off.

He told us we had rolled at leastten times, sometimes in the airsometimes on the ground and wentstraight over the fence at the sideof the road.

We were incredibly lucky and al-though very shaken up andbruised, scraped and battered es-sentially we were fine.

Burger was amazing, he radioedfor help as there was no cellphonereception where we were, organ-ised an ambulance which took usto the Springbok Hospital, organ-ised for the car to be towed and or-ganised for the Springbok police topick up all our things, which werescattered all over the veld, and thearea to be cleaned up. The wonder-ful men of the Springbok police sta-tion did a superb job and I was laterable to retrieve our things safe andsound from the Springbok policestation.

We had been camping and had alot of quite expensive equipment,everything was there.

We are very grateful.

Madibas visionfor SA fadingVINCENT WARD, Kuruman:

MANY years ago in America Mar-tin Luther King Jnr. made a speechstarting with these words: I have adream. He laid out his dream andvision for everyone in America.

I think that the broadcasting ofthat speech must have reached Nel-sonMandelaat somestageofhis life.He must have said to himself: Ihaveavision forSouthAfrica.Thatvision included every South Afri-can, regardless of colour, race orgender,whoshouldhaveabetter lifein South Africa. Never did he imagi-ne that the people he went to jail for,for 27 years, would destroy his vi-sion in such a short period of time.

I believe his vision did not includestealing from the poor, raping thejustice system, corruption from thehighest level to the lowest, lettingthe poor become poorer, the comple-te collapse of municipal and provin-cial infrastructure, the stealing andwastingofmoney that is supposed tobuild a rainbow nation and educati-onandmedical serviceson thebrinkof total collapse. The list is endless.

The slogan says: 100 years of self-less struggle. Selfless means it inclu-des everybody except yourself. Itshould say: 82 years of selfless strug-gle and 18 years of selfish freedom.

Ask yourself, which part of the vi-sion are you: the 82 years of selflessstruggle plus 27 years of jail or 18years of selfish freedom, leading tothe destruction of a nation and itspeople.

Verreweg dievuilste dorpWILLEM DE VILLIERS, Stellen-bosch:

EK het Kuruman onlangs vir die50 jaar-renie van die 1962-matriek-klas besoek.

Dit was n skok om te merk hoevervalle die dorp is. Oral langs diepaaie en strate is rommel gestrooi.Daar is geen strepe op die stratemeer nie nie by die verkeerslig,stopstrate, voetoorgange, parkeer-plekkeof spoedwallenie.Diegedeel-te voor die destydse pos- en land-droskantoor was eens op n tyd ntuin nou groei daar net onkruid.Straatligte brand nie oral nie.

Ek het moeite gehad om my pa segraf in die begraafplaas te vind.Grafstene is oorgroei met gras enonkruid. Daar is nie meer n hek nieen wat veronderstel is om n ingangte wees is met rommel besaai. Vanomheining is daar nie sprake nie.

n Besoek aan die munisipaliteitwas nie besonder bevredigend nie.Daar is skynbaar nie genoeg wer-kers nie en daar word nie meer virdie instandhouding van die begraaf-plaas begroot nie. Die aanbring vanstrepe op die paaie het om die eenof ander rede tot stilstand gekom.

As daar n kompetisie sou weesvir die vuilste dorp van die jaar souKuruman, wat eens n mooi dorpwas, waarskynlik loshande wen.

Wat duidelik is, is dat wat dieplaaslike owerheid betref daar nieveel verwag kan word nie. Dit wilvoorkom asof die wil en kundigheidontbreek.

Asdaar nomdraaistrategiebeginword om Kuruman van verdere ag-teruitgang te red sal dit van die be-lastingbetalers en inwoners selfmoet kom.

PETRUS JOHANNES ERASMUS (beter be-kend as Pietie), gebore op die plaas Dagbreeknet buite Kuruman, is onlangs op 65-jarigeouderdom oorlede.

Hy het in Februarie 1974 aan die Kuruman-munisipalteit diens aanvaar. Hier het hy diemunisipale tuine omgetower wat aan Kuru-man vele eerbewyse besorg het. Al die muni-sipale tuine en die sportterreine op Kuru-man, asook in die swart woonbuurte rondomKuruman, is deur hom aangel en ontwerp.

N 33 jaar se diens aan die Kuruman-muni-sipaliteit het hy in 2007 afgetree om n welver-diende ruskans te geniet.

Sy gesondheid het die afgelope jare agter-uitgegaan en aan die einde van Augustus ishy in die Rosepark-hospitaal in Bloemfonteinopgeneem. N n maand lange stryd in die in-tensiewe eenheid het hy op 28 September, om-ring deur sy geliefdes, gesterf.

Die familielede is dankbaar vir al die on-dersteuning en medelye wat hulle die afgelo-pe tyd ontvang het. Hy word deur sy vrou,Tinkie, sy twee seuns, Nico en Johan, sy dog-ter, Tania, en ses kleinkinders oorleef.

DIE veldbrande wat onlangs in die Kuru-man-Kathu-gebied verwoesting gesaai het,het weer bewys hoe gemeenskappe in kri-sistye kan saamstaan.

Braam van der Westhuizen, voorsittervan die DA se Kalahari-kiesafdeling en dis-trikraadslid, het ges hoewel die omvangvan die brande nog nie bepaal is nie, is dieskade aan weiding en diere wat gevrek het,

reeds miljoene rande.My beskeie mening is dat die stelsel weer

die boeregemeenskap in die steek gelaat hetdeurdat permitte en hor gesag as verskoninggebruik ishoekomplaaslike owerhedeniekonbystand bied nie. Dit is n massiewe ramp virdie boeregemeenskappe en opkomende swartboere in die omgewing en ons versoek dat ditas rampgebied verklaar word.

HaroldMcGluwa,LPWenvoorsitter vandieDA in die Noord-Kaap, het namens die party

sy innigedank teenoor n ieder en nelkuit-gespreek wat dag en nag gewerk het om diebrande te bestry.

Daar is mense wat dae lank nie geslaapof geet het nie. Ons waardeer elkeen sehulp van watter aard ook al. Mense van alleoorde het hulp aangebied, hetsy hul toerus-ting of voertuie. Private firmas het ook hulhulp verleen.

McGluwa doen n beroep op die regeringom so spoedig moontlik in te gryp.

DIE onlangse ren was n sen vir elke boere-hart. Hoewel die skade nie ongedaan gemaakkan word nie, was die ren n groot geskenkvan Bo. Dit het nie net die stof afgewas nie,maar ook die brandreuk wat soos n donkerkombers oor die Kalahari-veld gehang het.

Agri-Kuruman en die boeregemeenskapstaan verstom oor die goeie gesindheid watdeur die gemeenskap van en rondom Kuru-man geopenbaar word. Volgens Deon Hoon,ondervoorsitter van Agri-Kuruman, is reedsses groot vragte voer afgelaai en word binne-kort nog ses afgelaai.

Die voer is alles geskenk, ons moet net dievervoerkoste betaal, s Hoon.

Volgens hom kom van die voer van die Vaal-hartsgebied.

Daar is genoeg voer geskenk en Agri-Kuru-manhet intussenbydiedepartementvan land-bou en ander instansies aansoek om geldelikebystand gedoen, s Hoon.

Volgens hom sal die hoeveelheid weidingwat afgebrand het, die maatstaf wees waarvol-gens die boere voer sal ontvang.

Skade aan die weiding is ongeveer R6 mil-joenvir die beeste per jaar,maar skadeaandieinfrastruktuur moet nog bepaal word, s hy.

Volgens Hoon doen die boere opnames ophul onderskeie plase sodat die algehele skadeaan die infrastruktuur bepaal kan word.

Agri-Kuruman bedank elkeen wat gehelphet om die nood te verlig.

Kameras help diefstal vasvangLynn-Mari Olivier

DIE sekuriteitskameras wat bydie Palmgate-inkopiesentrumingesit is, is nie om dowe neutegedoen nie. n Motorinbraak isonlangs op die kameras vasge-vang.

Mnr. Alan Morrison was op 28September in Eerste NasionaleBank om R800 se kleingeld tekry. Ek het oorkant dietuisnywerheid in Bearestraatgeparkeer. My eie voertuig wasin die werkwinkel vir versieningen my kollega het my vir tyd enwyl rondgekarwei, s Morrison.Volgens hom het hy by diepassasierskant ingeklim en diebanksak binne n ander plastiek-sak gesit, dit toegeknoop en opdie vloer neergesit.

Ek het egter n koekhouervoor die sak geplaas sodat ditminder opvallend sou wees,maar geeneen sou weet dat daargeld binne die plastieksak wasnie. Ons het besluit om na diewerkwinkel te gaan om uit te

vind of my voertuig amper klaaris. My motor was nog nie klaarnie en ons is toe gou Pick n Paytoe om kr uideniers aan te koop.Dit was om 10:35, s Morrison.

Volgens hom was hulleomstreeks 10:55 terug by diemotor. Die passasiersruit wasuitgeslaan en twee ruite van dievoertuig wat langs hulle gepar-keer was. Ek was geskok om tesien dat die banksak uit dieander sak gehaal is en het besefdat ek sedert ek by die bankwas, dopgehou is, s Morrison.

Hy het die berig oor dieinstallering van die kameras bydie Palmgate-inkopiesentrumonthou en is dadelik na Postnetom navraag te doen. Mev.Surita van der Bergh was baiebehulpsaam en ons kon presiessien wat gebeur het, s hy.

Drie mans wat in swaar jassemet kappies geklee was, het nadie bakkie geloop. Een het agterdie bakkie bly staan en dieander het tot by die passasiers-kant geloop en die ruit met sy

elmboog uitgeslaan, die banksakuitgehaal en dit vir die managter die bakkie gegee. Die manhet in die rigting van Absageloop en dit toe vir n derdepersoon gegee. Di persoon hetdit toe vir iemand in n gepar-keerde bakkie gegee en diebakkie het weggery, s Morri-son.

Volgens hom het Van der Bergvoorgestel dat hulle na dienommerplaat van die voertuigkyk, hulle kon op die kamerasbevestig dat die drie mans netna Morrison by die parkeerter-rein ingery het.

Dit is toe dat ek besef hullehet my al die tyd dopgehou, sMorrison.

Volgens Morrison kon hulle opdie kameras sien hoe die driemans n wyle onder die palmbo-me vertoef, waarna hulle by dietrappe af is en in n blouVolkswagen Polo wegry.

Riverside hetnou eie gebouRADIO RIVERSIDE is hierdieOktober 13 jaar oud.

Di radiostasie het in 1999begin nadat gemeenskaplei-ers besluit het om die kommu-nikasiegaping te oorbrugdeur n gemeenskaps-radiostasie te begin.

In daardie jare was die kon-sep van gemeenskappe wathul eie radiostasie kan stig,bestuur en beheer vreemd.Hulle het egter in hierdie ideegeglo en n voorlegging aandie destydse OnafhanklikeKommunikasie-owerheid ge-doen.

Die uitsaailisensie is aanRadio Riverside uitgereik entoetsuitsendings het vroeg in1999 begin. Op 11 Oktober hetdie radiostasie amptelik ge-open.

Radio Riverside het met netminder as sewe heeltydsewerknemers begin en vandagis daar 29 heeltydse en 12 deel-tydse werknemers.

Radio Riverside het in Meivanjaar twee gesogte eerbe-wyse van die Media Develop-ment and Diversity Agency(MDDA) en Sanlam-gemeen-skapmediatoekennings inDurban ontvang. Een van dietwee is die Rantho-Letsebe-Beste Gemeenskap-mediaeer-bewys vir 2012. Hierdie eerbe-wys word gemaak aan n ge-meenskapmediaprojek watdie meeste doen om sy ge-meenskap by projekte betrok-ke te kry.

Die twee eerbewyse wat diehoogtepunt is van Radio Ri-verside se bestaan, is deel van

n lang lys eerbewyse wat diestasie oor die jare heen gewenhet.

RadioRiversidehet in sybe-ginjare by die Upington-brandweerstasie twee kanto-re gehuur waarvan die een asdie ateljee gedien het en dieander as n administrasiekan-toor en produksie-ateljee. Dieideaal was egter om die atel-jees en kantore in een sentraleplek te h.

Die stasie het in 2011 aan-soek by die MDDA vir tweenuwe ateljees gedoen. Die hui-dige ateljee se toestand het oordie jare heen agteruitgegaan.

Die stasie se aansoek isvroeg in 2012 goedgekeur opvoorwaarde dat die ateljees inRadio Riverside se eie gebougenstalleer word.

Nou moes n geskikte plekgekry word. Die stasie het inRobinsonstraat 3 n gebou ge-koop en in Februarie inge-trek.

Die kantoor bied genoegruimte vir administrasie endie bou van ateljees.

Die kantoor het sewe sub-kantore, nkombuis ennogge-noeg ruimte vir moontlikeaanbouing. Die stasie moes ndeposito van R216 000 betaal.Die bedrag is deur die DesertPalace- casino en -hotel ge-borg.

Die bydrae het verseker datdie stasie nou kan spog met syeie kantoor en die nuwe digi-tale ateljees wat na verwag-ting van die begin van Novem-ber vanjaar in werking gaanwees.

Vuurwapenwet bespreekn VUURWAPEN-IMBIZO wordop Woensdag 24 Oktober van13:00 tot 16:00 by Upington seSAPD-menasie in Schrder-straat gehou om die implemente-ring van die vuurwapenwet aandie gemeenskap te verduidelik.

Met die imbizo word gepoog

om enige onsekerhede en ondui-delikhede betreffende die wet uitdie weg te ruim.

Vuurwapeneienaars wordvriendelik versoek om die imbi-zo by te woon om duidelikheidoor die wet en die sentrale vuur-wapenregister te bekom.

n PROJEK waaraan gr. 11-leerlinge gaandeelneem, is verledeVrydagoggendmet nbe-soek van Ashwin Willemse, mede-aanbiedervan SuperSport en n oud-Springbokvleuel,aan die Horskool Kathu begin.

Die organiseerder, Llewellyn Jenner, be-stuurder van Synntec, s die idee is dat gr. 11-leerlinge nou reeds die geleentheid kry omhulle vir hul toekoms te ontwikkel. Hulleneem n volle jaar (2013) aan die program deelwaarvoor hulle erkenning vir hul betrokken-heid by die gemeenskap sal kry. Elkeen wataan buitemuurse bedrywighede en gemeen-skapsgebeure deelneem, sal n sertifikaat virhul deelname ontvang byvoorbeeld besoekeaan hospitale, ouetehuise, dierebeskermingen Kansa-projekte.

Skole wat aan die projek gaan deelneem, is

die Horskole Kathu en Gamagara (Deben)en die Hotazel Mine School.

Jenner het die projek bekend gestel en aandie leerlinge uitgel dat elkeen n droom heten homself moet afvra wat hy wil doen enwaar hy wil wees. Ook dat die lewe hom niksskuld nie, maar as hy gee, sal hy meer terug-kry as wat hy gee.

Doen iets vir jou medemens sonder omenigiets terug te verwag, was Jenner seraad.

Willemse se motiveringtoespraak het dieleerlinge vasgenael laat sit. As kind van Cale-don wat met dwelms deurmekaar geraak het,was hy die ideale een om na te luister en dieleerlinge te oortuig dat jy nie soos almal hoefte maak nie, en dat jy jouself moet respekteer.Ook dat jy van slegte gewoontes kan afsienen iets goeds met jou lewe kan doen. As kindwat aan armoede blootgestel is deur n afwe-

sige pa was sy eie, splinternuwe rugbyste-wels wat sy tante in gr. 11 vir hom gekoop hetnadat hy probeer selfmoord pleeg het, ngroot motivering. Hy het vandag steeds diestewels. Hy was deel van n bendekultuur tot-dat hy vir die Boland-Cravenspan gekies is.Maar die uitrusting en koste was n pro-bleem, want toe het hy reeds sy lootjiegeld ge-bruik om agterstallige dwelmskuld te betaal.

Breyton Paulse het eendag in hul skoolkom praat en n skenking vir Willemse is methom bespreek. Toe Willemse se rugbyuitrus-ting aan die einde van die week daar aankom,kon hy dit nie glo nie, want hy was al soveelkere deur mense teleurgestel. Daar het hy ge-leer: Vertrou die regte mense.

Ek het elke keer gespeel asof voor n grootskare, al was daar net n klein skare wat ge-kyk het. Maar eendag, tussen die handjie volmense langs die rugbyveld, was Jake White.

Afrigters wat n invloed op Willemse se le-we gehad het, was Chester Williams by dieSuid-Afrikaanse sewesrugby en White by dieo.21-rugby.

Die hoogtepunt van sy rugbyloopbaan wasdie jaareindgeselligheid van die Springbok-span toe hy as nuweling van die jaar, spelersse speler van die jaar en die Suid-Afrikaanserugbyspeler van die jaar vir 2003 aangewysis.

Willemse se vertelling hoe hy saam met dieregtervleuel Breyton Paulse as linkervleuelin Paulse se 50ste toets teen Ierland in Dublinopgedraf het, het hoendervel gegee. Die uit-ruil van Paulse se rugbytrui, wat hy nou nogbesit, het die gehoor geraak en menige luiste-raar aangedaan gelaat. Daarmee saam het hydie leerlinge daarop gewys dat Synntec inhulle wil bel en niks terug verwag nie. Hullekan maar net daarop reageer.

DIE feestyd is byna hier en sosialeverpligtinge op die voorgrond.

Vroue wil graag op hul beste lykwanneer hulle in hul aandklereuitgaan. Grimering is daarom net sobelangrik soos hare, skoene en anderbykomstighede.

Die illusie van lang, swart wimpersword deur talle skoonheidshuisenagevors. Maskara is beslis n artikelwat in elke vrou se grimeersakkie tevinde is.

Volgens Wikipedia is daar in dieVictoriaanse tydperk baie gefokus opdie bevordering van grimering en ditwas die gebruik dat vroue n grootgedeelte van die dag aan hul grimeringbestee het.

Blykbaar het die Victoriaanse vrouhaar eie maskara gemaak deur nmengsel van as en vlierbessiesap op nbord te verhit en dan di warm mengselaan die wimpers te smeer.

Terug in die hede s Michelle Lancas-ter, n plaaslike grimeerkunstenaar, datswart maskara die beste keuse is en as

lang, opvallende wimpers die verlang-de effek is, n mens maskara met ngroot, ronde borsel moet gebruik.

Een van die grootste flaters is teveel lae op die wimpers wat klonteveroorsaak.

Om die beste uit jou maskara te krymoet die ooglid by die wenkbrou geligword.

Lancaster s die geheim is om diemaskara so na as moontlik aan diewimper naby die ooglid aan te sit endit moet in n sigsagpatroon gedoenword.
