‘n Gewapende kaping, waarin der-duisende rande buit gemaak is, het hierdie week tot ’n wilde jaagtog deur die strate van Makhado (Louis Trichardt) aanleiding gegee.

Dié kapingsdrama het homself Dinsdag, omstreeks 11:00, by Solly’s Discount World in Songozwistraat afgespeel.

‘n Sekuriteitsvoertuig van BVS Sekuriteit het by die onderneming stilgehou om die vorige dag se geld op te tel en te gaan bank. Daar was een sekuriteitswag in die voertuig.

(Vervolg van p. 1)Els het in Maart vanjaar, inge­

volge ‘n pleitooreenkoms met die staat, skuldig gepleit op aanklagte wat verband hou met die onwettige jag, handel en besit van renosterhorings sonder die nodige permitte. Hy sal nou probeer om te appelleer teen sy vonnis. Hy is destyds gevonnis tot agt jaar gevangenisstraf plus ‘n verdere vier jaar. Die vier jaar vonnis is in geheel opgeskort. Hy moes ook R1 miljoen aan die Groen Skerpioene oorbetaal.

Aanvanklik het die klagte teen Els betrekking gehad op 38 renosterhorings, maar die getal is later aangepas tot 30.

Els het in sy pleitooreenkoms verduidelik dat hy die renoster­horings aangekoop het met die oog om dit later te verkoop as die

verbod op die handel in renos­terhorings gelig sou word. Hy het die horings aangekoop van sy medebeskuldigde, wyle mnr. Tom Fourie (51), wat later self­moord gepleeg het. Die renosters is verdoof en hulle horings is geoes. Nie een is gedood nie. Els sou dan later vir bergingspermitte aansoek doen, maar voordat hy dit kon doen, is die horings vanuit sy woning in Thabazimbi gesteel.

Na sy vonnisoplegging het Els ’n aansoek om verlof tot ap­pèl gedoen, waarin sy advokaat aangevoer het dat Els se von­nis “ergerlik” was en dat hy in “toorn” gevonnis is deur die hof. ’n Boetevonnis en ’n opgeskorte gevangenisstraf, het hy gemeen, sou meer vanpas gewees het. Die eerste aansoek is deur die

hof afgewys en daarom het Els se regspan hulle gewend na die Hooggeregshof.

Els is Maandag op R4 miljoen borg vrygelaat. Sy pa, broer en twee vriende het waarborge ge­lewer vir dié bedrag. Els se regs­verteenwoordiger, mnr. Phillip du Toit, het Maandag gesê dat die Els­egpaar nie enige onderhoude wil toestaan nie.

“Die belangrikste is dat Els gesond is,” het Du Toit gesê.

Du Toit het verder gesê dat, terwyl hulle wag vir ’n datum vanaf die appèlhof, hulle intussen die batebeslagleggingsbevel van die Staat teen Els gaan beveg. Die regspan, het Du Toit gesê, sal hierdie Vrydag die Bestry­dingshof nader vir ’n hofdatum om die Staat se bevel te kan teen staan.

a bloodied and badly injured suspected poacher is taken away to hospital in an ambulance.

Jungle justice lands suspect in hospitala suspect thought he had out-smarted the police, but he ran straight into the people’s fury...

Enraged community members at Plange in the Malamulele area, who are tired of crime, unleashed their anger on the man whom they suspected to be a robber in the area. The incident happened on Sunday evening.

It is alleged the man found himself at the mercy of angry community members after run­ning away from a police trap. It is alleged that he and another man were allegedly arranging to buy rhino horns from a ranger.

The community, which has experienced many acts of crime of late and recently held meetings to discuss crime, saw red when the man was found in a house in the village. The man was severely

attacked and left for dead.The man, aged 35, is believed

to be from Khubvi and is now in the Malamulele Hospital and under police guard. His friend, aged 39, is in police custody.

Police spokesperson Col Ronél Otto said two suspected rhino poachers in their thirties were arrested after they allegedly attempted to persuade a ranger in the Kruger National Park to kill and dehorn a rhino for them. They allegedly said it would be “easier” for a ranger to do so.

The ranger allegedly agreed, but told them that they would need to bring him a fire­arm as he could not shoot the animal with his official fire­arm. He then contacted the police and a meeting was arranged between the ranger and the suspects. The meeting took place at Plange

village near Malamulele on Sunday evening. “The 39­year­old man was arrested during this controlled meeting and police confiscated a 30.06 hunting rifle as well as a vehicle. A second suspect, who realised what was happening, ran away and fled into the home of a woman in the village,” said Otto.

The woman alerted members of the community, who then assaulted the suspect severely. He is currently in hospital in a serious but stable condition. The other suspect is due to appear in court soon. He will face charges of possession of an unlicensed fire­arm, as well as conspiracy to commit a crime.

The second suspect will appear once he is sufficiently recovered. Otto said investigations were continuing.

Els sal Kersfees saam met familie wees

residents of the Makhado (Louis trichardt) area are warned that the region’s water supply will be interrupted on Friday, 7 December, for the whole day.

The Vhembe District Munici­pality (VDM) said that Makhado town and Tshikota might experi­ence no water supply from 06:00 to 18:00 as leaks on the Albasini pipeline between the Albasinidam and the Mowcop reservoir needed to be repaired. The leaks were noticed amidst the VDM’s clear­ing of vegetation on the pipeline. The process is progressing well and about eight kilometres have been cleared so far.

Local AfriForum chairperson Mr Wally Schultz asked residents to be patient during the long proc­ess to restore a consistent water supply to town.

“The Albasini pipeline had not been cleared for years. Now AfriForum and Vhembe got the job going! Dense bush made it impossible to detect leaks that have seen more than 50% of our precious water wasted. Now the line can and will be walked every day. This and other AfriForum initiatives will help restore water to town, but to get there, repairs

Water taps will again run dry this Fridayneed to be done,” stated Schultz on Tuesday. AfriForum is cur­rently working hand in hand with VDM to ensure that the court order dates are honoured.

AfriForum obtained a court order from the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria to enforce, among others, the denuding of the pipeline.

pictured is one of the water leaks clearly seen after the de-bushing of the albasini pipeline had started. Vhembe District Municipality said that water leaks uncovered so far would be be repaired on Friday, 7 December, with the result that parts or all of Makhado (Louis trichardt) and tshikota will have no or interrupted water supply from 06:00 till 18:00. Local afriForum chairperson, Mr Wally schultz urged residents to be patient, since “this (the denuding) and other afriForum initiatives will help restore water to town, but to get there, repairs need to be done.”

Mowkop reservoir nears completionthe construction of the sec-ond reservoir at Mowkop in Makhado (Louis trichardt) is progressing well, with some sections already at roof height.

What a great day it will be when the new 10 mega­litre reservoir is filled with water, especially for residents who have been suffering for nearly five years with daily interrup­tions in their water supply for the major part of the day. The day scheduled for the comple­tion of the filling of the reser­voir with water is 15 February next year.

Vhembe District Municipal­ity’s (VDM) technical manager, Mr Frederick Tshivhengwa, informed the Zoutpansberger on 26 November that the new Mowcop reservoir was nearing roof height. A site visit fol­

lowed on 29 November. The contractor, Shatsane

Systems Solutions of Soweto, said that everything was on track. “We shall soon be done with the wall and the roof will start early next year,” said Mr Victor Tsotetsi, Shatsane’s site agent. The contractor’s time­frames indicate that the “first lift” of the reservoir wall started on 16 July and was completed on 18 September this year. In the first lift, three sections of the reservoir wall were built. The “second lift” proceeded, which included the last three sections of the wall. At the time of the site visit ,the contractor was working on the last section of the wall. Each section required internal formwork to the wall plus columns and steel fixing. Then the consulting engineer would inspect and the external

form work and the casting of the concrete wall would follow, with the last step the stripping and finishing off of the con­crete. The cost of the project is estimated at R9.5 million.

The new reservoir is the sec­ond reservoir at Mowkop and will augment the water supply to town, and in particular to the new extension.

“The consulting engineers, Rendeals Four, were here and they were satisfied,” Tsotet­si said. The engineer on the project, Mr R Madimutsa, was not available for comment.

The hope is that a proper job will be done this time round as the previous contractor, NW Civils, failed to build the reser­voir according to specifications and the whole process came to a halt. The reservoir should have been completed in June 2008.

Skool sê hulle kan kind se uitslae weerhou

Deur Andries van Zyl

Het skole die reg om leerlinge se eksamenre-sultate te weerhou indien hulle ouers agter-stallig geraak het met die betaling van hul skoolfonds?

Die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) in Limpopo het hulle hierdie week sterk uitgespreek oor hierdie praktyk. Dit volg nadat hulle onderskeidelik deur die ouers van ‘n leerling by Pietersburg Hoërskool en die ouers van ‘n leerling by die CVO Skool Zoutpansberg buite Makhado (Louis Trichardt) met klagte hieroor geskakel is.

Volgens provinsiale DA­leier mnr. Jacques Smalle is dit ‘n uiters gevoellose manier om ouers, wat agterstallig geraak het met hul skoolfonds, te dwing om te betaal.

“Dit veroorsaak ongekende spanning vir die kind,” het Smalle in ‘n mediaverklaring gesê.

W a t P i e t e r s b u r g Hoër skool as openbare skool betref, was Smalle van mening dat die skool se optrede heelte­mal onwettig is, aange­sien dit ingevolge die Skolewet ‘n oortreding is om teen ‘n kind te diskrimineer, omdat die kind nie kan bekostig om skoolfonds te betaal nie.

Volgens mnr. Frits Ahrens, voorsitter van die CVO Skool Zoutpansberg, staan die CVO Skool Zoutpansberg egter nie onder die bepalings van die Skolewet nie, aangesien hulle ‘n privaatskool is. Hierdie wet, sê hy, is van toepassing op openbare skole wat staatsubsidies ontvang. “Ons ontvang geen subsidies van die regering nie en het ook nog nooit vir ‘n subsidie gevra nie,” het Ahrens gesê.

Ahrens het voorts gesê dat dit ‘n skoolreël is dat eksamenresultate weerhou kan word indien ‘n leer­ling se skoolfonds agterstallig is. Hierdie besluit, sê hy, is tydens ‘n amptelike ouervergadering geneem. In die geval van die CVO Skool Zoutpansberg, word die skool deur die ouers beheer. Alle ouers,

sê hy, is van hierdie skoolreël bewus en teken aan die begin van die jaar ‘n dokument waarin hulle onderneem om voor die 10de van elke maand vir 11 maande hul skoolfonds te betaal.

In die geval van die Graad 9­leerling wie se eksamenresultate weerhou word, het Ahrens gesê dat die kind se ouers duisende Rande agterstallig is. Hy sê dat hulle reeds vroeër vanjaar met die kind se ouers ‘n vergadering gehad het hieroor en dat die pa ‘n betalingsooreenkoms geteken het om voor die einde van November alle agterstallige skuld te betaal. Dit, het Ahrens gesê, het nie gebeur nie.

“Mens moet onthou dat ons ‘n skool het om te onderhou en salarisse om te betaal. Elke jaar begin ons met ‘n tekort op ons begroting en hierdie geld word deur die jaar verhaal uit fondsinsamelings­projekte. Die skool kan dit doodeenvoudig nie

bekostig as ‘n ouer nie betaal nie,” het Ahrens gesê. Hy voeg by dat die skool nie onsimpatiek staan teenoor ouers wat sukkel om die skool­

fonds te betaal nie.“Met ons Sonneblom Projek probeer ons hierdie

ouers ondersteun. Bydraes ten opsigte van die fonds is egter vrywillig en in hierdie stadium is daar doodeenvoudig nie geld in die fonds nie. Ons het al kinders met geld uit die projek gehelp,” het Ahrens gesê.

Intussen het Smalle gesê dat hulle die kantoor van die LUR van Onderwys versoek het om in te gryp in die geskil. Met begrip van Ahrens se verweer dat hulle as privaatskool nie onder die verpligtinge van die Skolewet staan nie, het Smalle ook genoem dat volgens die Vereniging van Privaatskole van Suid­Afrika die weerhouding van eksamenresultate, om ouers te dwing om agterstal­lige skoolfonds te betaal, met groot omsigtigheid hanteer moet word.

“Mens moet onthou dat ons ‘n skool het om te onderhou

en salarisse om te betaal”

south african independent power producer biotherm energy (pty) Ltd has an-nounced its plans for a com-mercial solar-energy plant for the soutpansberg region.

The Alldays plant, located about 70km west of Musina on Gotha Farm, will be able to generate up to 75Mw of electricity, enabling it to supply approximately 15 000 homes with renewable sun energy.

The proposed plant is cur­rently in its scoping phase, with the draft environmental impact assessment (EIA) report hav­ing to be completed. Members of the public will be able to comment on this report until 15 January 2013.

According to the EIA, the Alldays plant envisions the

use of either photovoltaic (PV) or concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) panels to convert sun­light directly into electricity. BioTherm says the climate of the area favours photovoltaic technology.

This electricity generated will be diverted into the national Eskom grid.

The stored electricity at the plant will be diverted via a proposed on­site substation that will connect to the Sout­pan/Venetia power line via a loop­in­loop­out system. The other alternative, according to the EIA report, would be to construct a 132Kv connection line of up to 2km parallel to link with the substation.

BioTherm proposed the so­lar plant to tie in with Eskom

and the national government’s 10­year strategy to produce renewable energy by means of biomass, wind, solar and small­scale hydro. “Eskom, as an en­ergy utility, has been identified as the world’s second­largest producer of carbon emissions,” the report states.

But even though it would at first glance seem that the solar plant holds many benefits, con­cerns have been raised about the proposed property where the plant will be constructed.

The plant will have a planned foot print of about 175Ha, which means that some veg­etation clearing will take place to enable the construction of the PV or CPV panels that can stretch to heights of up to 22 meters.

Dié memorandum is dieselfde dag by honderde polisiestasies ingehandig. ‘n Verslag oor die omvang en impak van plaasmoorde word ook hierdie week aan die Verenigde Nasies se Forum vir Minderheidsaangeleenthede in Geneve, Swit­serland, oorhandig. Onlangse navorsing deur die Instituut vir Sekerheidstudies skat die jaarlikse getal plaasmoorde op 98.8 moorde per 100 000 boere. Plaasmoorde gaan ook dikwels gepaard met uitsonderlike wreedheid.

“Ons eis dat die SAPD sy stilte oor plaasmoorde verbreek en dit verklaar en hanteer as ‘n priori­teitsmisdaad … ons eis ook dat die belofte wat in 2003 gemaak is toe die kommandostelsel afgeskaf is, uitgevoer word: naamilk dat ‘n alternatiewe struktuur vir landelike veiligheid op die grondvlak geïm­plementeer word,” lui die memorandum.

By die Makhado poli siestasie het kolonel Magala Rambau die memorandum namens die stasiebevel­voerder onderteken. Vir AfriForum was die voor­sitter, mnr. Wally Schultz, en twee bestuurslede teenwoordig, bygestaan deur die Soutpansberg Belastingbetalersvereniging, die Soutpansberg Sakekamer, die Dorpswag en die Plaaswag. Kol. Rambau het gesê dat hy die ondertekende memo­randums na brig. Justice Tshisaphungo, die ‘clus­ter’ bevelvoerder sal aanstuur. “Ons gaan voort met normale patrollie en voer nog steeds elke maand ‘n operasie saam met die boeregemeenskap uit,” het Rambau gesê.

Mnr. Christo Snyman, die oorkoepelende plaaswagvoorsitter van die hele Makhado (Louis Trichardt) gebied, sê dat die plaaswag die afgelope maande baie gelukkig is wat plaasaanvalle in die gebied betref. “Die laaste insident wat onder die

Die man wat sy stiefdogter seksueel misbruik het en die misdrywe op sy selfoonkame-ra afgeneem het, se borgaan-soek is nie hierdie week afge-handel nie.

Die man, wat reeds 17 maan­de van sy 85­jaar­lange gevan­genisstraf uitgedien het, het in Februarie vanjaar toestemming

vanaf die Hooggeregshof gekry om te appelleer teen beide sy skuldigbe vinding én vonnis. Hy sou na verwagting Maandag in die Louis Trichardt Streekhof ’n borgaansoek bring, hangende sy appèlaansoek. Sy saak is uitge­stel om die hof kans te gee om deur sy aansoek te werk.

In kort beweer die man dat

die Staat nie bo redelike twyfel verkragting op die foto’s bewys het nie. Volgens hom kan die dade op die foto’s eerder as seksuele aanranding beskryf word.

Intussen bly die man in aan­houding. Sy saak is uitgestel tot 10 Desember, vir sy bor­gaansoek.

Kindermolesteerder bly agter tralies

senior regional magistrate ronnie rambau will get to spend another Christmas at home, pen-ding the outcome of his corruption trial.

The final score in his corruption trail remains to be settled. Rambau, accused of accepting a bribe to influence the outcome of a court case, once again appeared with his co­accused, attorney T E Lubisi and state prosecutor Estene Willemse, in the Musina Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

Lubisi was expected to start testifying for the defence, but the case was put on hold when Ram­bau’s advocate, Mr Johan Hatting, withdrew from the record. According to information available, Hatting withdrew because he had not received payment from Rambau.

In addition, Lubisi’s attorney also told the court that he had not had time to familiarize himself with the case. He is the third attorney that Lubisi has ap­pointed since the beginning of the trial in 2010.

In the meantime, the Magistrate’s Commission is very cautious to answer any questions put to them regarding Rambau’s suspension.

The Zoutpansberger was, however, able to con­firm that Rambau is still provisionally suspended and still receiving his full magistrate’s salary.

The three men’s case was postponed again, this time until 9 April next year.

plaaswagte se aandag gekom het, was die voorval waar mnr. Neels Maritz op Levubu gedurende Mei vanjaar op sy plaas by sy huis aangeval was. Ironies genoeg was dit ook in Mei 2011 toe mnr. Jan Louw van die plaas Nooitgedacht aangeval is. As ‘n mens sien hoe dit op ander plekke in ons land gaan, besef ‘n mens dat dit net genade van Bo is dat dit so goed gaan hier, maar daar is ook faktore op die grond wat ‘n rol speel om insidente te verminder,” sê Snyman en noem die positiewe faktore.

Daar is ‘n goedgevestigde en sterk plaaswag­struktuur in plek. ‘n Goeie radionetwerk is in plek en radiotoetse word elke aand gedoen. Diegene wat nie radio’s het nie, maak gebruik van selfone om mekaar elke aand te laat weet of alles in orde is. Daar word gereelde patrollies deur inwoners van plase gery en na gelang van die situasie word

die patrollies verskerp of verminder. Gereel­de vergaderings word gehou waar misdaad aangespreek word. Die afgelope ses maande is voorkomingsaksies, pa­trollies en padblokkades saam met die plaaslike

polisie beplan en uitgevoer. Operasie Ystervuis word twee maal per jaar reg deur Limpopo Provinsie gehou, waar observasiepunte deur boere beman word en verdagte voertuie of bewegings aan die SAPD gerapporteer word vir opvolging. Plaaswagvoorsitters se skakeling met die polisie, natuurbewaring en die justisiedepartement is op ‘n baie gesonde vlak.

“Alhoewel daar nog baie harde werk voorlê, is die plaaswagte van hierdie gebied in plek en gereed om teen misdaad op te staan. Dit is net jammer dat daar nog mense in ons gebied is wat skakel as daar ‘n krisis is, maar nie werklik betrokke is en inskakel solank dit goed gaan nie. Mense word hiermee aangemoedig om in hul direkte omgewing uit te vind wie hul plaaswagverteenwoordiger of ­voor­sitter is. Indien meer mense ‘n verskil wil maak teen misdaad, sal dit lei tot nog meer stabiliteit in ons gebied. Misdadigers sal meer kennis neem van die feit dat inwoners op plase nie hulself aan die genade van misdadigers gaan oorgee nie en dat hier ‘n besliste optrede teen misdaad is,” sê Snyman.

57 Desember 2012zoutpansberger

Deur Nic Hoffmann

talle inwoners van die soutpansberg het die afgelope week met hartseer verneem van die skielike dood van mnr. Jacques Kruger. Jacques is op slag dood in ‘n motorfietsongeluk naby die Wawielbrug op die n1 suid na polokwane. Hy was 41 jaar oud. In die foto verskyn wyle Jacques saam met sy 10-jarige dogter, Lynique. ‘n gedenkdiens vir hom vind eerskomende Vrydag (7de) om 11:00 vanuit die ags ta berna Dei-gemeente in polokwane plaas. Foto verskaf.

Ná jare se stilte klink hierdie kerkklok weerna niemand-weet-presies-hoe-veel jaar nie, kan inwoners van die dorp nou weer daagliks die gelui van die Haantjiekerk se klok hoor, nadat beide die klokmeganisme en die horlosie onlangs weer herstel is.

Die man verantwoordelik vir die herstel van die meganisme is mnr. Robert Jordaan van Moko­pane. Dit is sy stokperdjie, al

sedert 1974, toe hy ’n kursus in horlosieherstelwerk in die Huis­genoot geadverteer gesien het en dit gevolg het. In 1985 het die Brandfort Moedergemeente hom genader om hulle horlosie, wat toe al 90 jaar in gebruik was, te herstel. Sedertdien het hy ’n hele klompie sulke “pasiënte” gehad wat hy suksesvol onder hande geneem het.

Volgens Robert het ’n klompie uile hulle intrek in die klokto ring geneem en daar nesgemaak. Hulle het bo­op die horlosie geslaap en dit bemors, wat tot gevolg gehad het dat hulle mis ’n kortsluiting veroorsaak het, sodat die skakelaars en ’n deel van die bedrading uitgebrand het. Dit het hy herstel, nadat hy die horlosie heeltemal uitme­kaargehaal en skoongemaak het. Die een selektor­arm was ook gebreek. Dit het vir Robert sewe dae geneem om die horlosie en klokmeganisme te herstel.

Die horlosie is gebou deur Jo­hannesburg Horlosie Fabrikante. Ongelukkig is geen datum daarop aangebring nie, maar sulke mo­delle kom al sedert 1945 voor by ander kerke. Dit is egter nie die oudste van hierdie firma, wat ook die klok in die toring gegiet het, se produkte nie.

Tot en met 1985 met sy afster­we was mnr Corrie Engelbrecht, as kerkraadslid, verantwoorde­lik vir die instandhouding van die klok en horlosie. Na wat vasgestel kon word, is dit die laaste definitiewe datum wat die horlosie en klok nog reg gefunk­sioneer het.

Omdat die horlosie so lank gestaan het, het daar in die tus­sentyd geen slytasie plaasgevind nie. Robert reken omdat die horlosie so stadig loop, kan dit, as dit reg versorg word, nog baie lank loop.

na meer as twee dekades van onbruik lui die Haantjiekerk in Makhado (Louis trichardt) se kerkklok weer al om die uur en halfuur. Dit is danksy mnr. robert Jordaan (foto) wat die klok weer herstel het. Foto verskaf.

Innovation

What started off as a “sideline” project at the Zoutpansberger a few years ago, has now re-ceived international recognition.

The AdBooker system that was locally devel­oped is one of the winners of the African News Innovation Challenge (ANIC).

The names of the 20 winners in the competi­tion were announced last week during the African Editors’ Forum’s annual general meeting held in Rwanda. The competition boasts a total of $1 mil­lion in funding and technical support to the digital journalism projects. ANIC is the largest fund for digital journalism experimentation in Africa and is designed to encourage the finding of solutions to the business, distribution and workplace challenges that face the media industry.

A jury of 15 international me dia strategists, technology innovators, and funding experts evalu­ated more than 500 project plans before selecting winners from a shortlist of 40 projects.

“Africa’s media face serious challenges, and each of our winners tries to solve a real­world problem that journalists are grappling with. This includes the public’s growing concern about the manipulation and accuracy of online content, plus concerns around the security of communications and of whistle­blowers or journalistic sources,” says Justin Arenstein, who manages ANIC as part of a wider digital innovation program with Africa’s largest association of media owners and operators, the African Media Initiative (AMI).

Winning projects will receive cash grants rang­ing from $10,000 to $100,000, plus additional technological support from a team of four full­time developers at AMI’s jAccelerator lab in Kenya, and business development support from some of the world’s top media strategists affiliated with the World Association of Newspapers & News Publishers (WAN­IFRA).

“ANIC believes that all projects have the poten­tial to either be replicated by media elsewhere in Africa, or to be scaled up across the continent, to create wide and sustained impact,” says Justin.

Peter Barron, Google’s Director of External Relations for Europe, the Middle East and Africa said: “We want to see journalism flourish in the digital age in Africa and the African News In­novation Challenge has helped spur some really exciting projects from across the continent. We’re looking forward to seeing these projects unfold and to working further with African journalists who are using technologies to gather and tell important stories.”

ANIC’s founding partners include Google, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the U.S. State Depart­ment, the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) and the World Association of Newspapers and News

Publishers (WAN­IFRA).The local project, AdBooker, started off in 2004

when Zoutnet, publishers of the Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror, realised the need for a cen­tralised booking system for adverts appearing in the newspapers. Their web developer, William Stam, was tasked to develop such a system. Much against the trends of that time, he developed a web­based application. This had the advantage of being acces­sible via the Internet on almost any platform.

Since 2004, the AdBooker system has been implemented in a number of newsrooms country­wide and proved to be a trusted tool for newspaper managers. In 2012, the system was completely redeveloped and the latest software programming technology was used to make it even more robust, with added features. The revamped AdBooker was entered as a project in the African News Innovation Challenge (ANIC).

The next step would be to make it available to more publishers, especially the smaller independent newspapers throughout southern Africa.

“This is also why we are so delighted with the ANIC award,” says Anton van Zyl, manager of Zoutnet. “Our biggest challenge is to set up a research and design team that can do further technology development for small publishers. We need to secure the future sustainability of such a team, because independent publishers cannot be left behind insofar as development is concerned.”

Local innovation gets worldwide recognition

this festive season, residents in Makhado (Louis trichardt) will once again be treated to the delightful sounds of the salva-tion army brass band.

The Salvation Army brass band was already spotted playing their signature Christmas carols around town the past weekend. As part of their project, they will also do door­to­door collec­tions and residents are invited to participate and donate to their cause.

Not only will the carols of these volunteer musicians bring cheer to those living in houses,

but also to the aged, children in family centres and to homeless people living on the streets.

This is achieved through the public’s donations. The band, however, does not only receive cash donations and people are more than welcome to donate non­perishable food, blankets and old clothes also. People can also donate by SMS via the Sal­vation Army’s donation hotline.

The following words can be SMSed to 42290: Blanket (for a contribution to purchase blan­kets), Food (for a contribution to a soup kitchen or similar outreach),

Children (for a contribution to children’s ministries), Elderly (for a contribution to ministry for the elderly), Rehabilitation (for a contribution to a rehabilitation centre) and Trafficking (for a contribution to the fight against human trafficking). Each SMS costs R30.

The pu blic is, however, warned to be on the lookout for fraudsters posing as band members. Col­lectors and bands must have a letter from the Salvation Army, be dressed in uniform and carry collection tins with the Salvation Army branding on it.

Blood needed to avert national crisisthe south african national blood service (sanbs) is cur-rently experiencing a severe shortage of blood as is tradi-tionally the case at this time of the year.

“Currently, we have only 1.5 days of blood available and as we go further into the holiday period, we know that we will not be able to meet the demand for blood by patients. So we are appealing to all our donors who have missed their donation in recent months to please make some time to donate blood, as the blood stocks are

near crisis levels,” says Vanessa Raju, communications manager of the SANBS.

The SANBS’s aim is to main­tain a stock level of fi ve days, with 3000 units collected per day to meet the demand.

At present, they are experi­encing diffi culty achieving this, which has been mainly due to the fact that their mobile drives, at schools and universities, as well as organisations, are almost impossible at this time of year.

“This puts severe pressure on the SANBS and in times like

these we request all hospitals and medical personnel to hold back on planned surgeries, something we are trying to prevent at all costs. We would need to up our daily target of blood collected to anything around 4 000 to 5000 units per day countrywide until we reach the fi ve­day stock level,” says Raju.

Persons interested in becoming a donor can SMS their NAME and POSTAL CODE to 31454 to fi nd out where their nearest donor centre is.

‘n groep entoesiastiese jongmense en leiers vertrek hierdie week na Curepipe, ‘n stad geleë op die sentrale plato van die eiland Mauritius, waar hulle ‘n jeugkonferensie gaan aanbied en fasiliteer. sewentien gemeentes van Mauritius stuur hulle jongmense na hierdie konferensie. Die sprekers van die konferensie is pastore sampie en Dalene van niekerk, past. grant Clifton en past. Marcel van niekerk, almal van die agapé Christensetrum in Makhado (Louis trichardt). na die konferensie van drie en ‘n half dae, sal die jongmense geneem word om die omgewing te besigtig. Die uitreik duur van 6 tot 13 Desember.

“om kontak te kon maak met die mense van Malawi was ‘n ryke ervaring. Die mense se vriendelikheid en gasvryheid en hulle bereidheid om die bie-t jie wat hulle het, te deel, staan uit,” sê ds. Louis schnetler.

Ds. Schnetler en mnr. Tienie Venter het pas teruggekeer ná ‘n jaar by die Sola Scriptura Bybelskool in Kavusi, naby die stad Mzuzu, sowat 480km noord van Lilongwe.

So ampertjies kon die twee nie terugry na Suid­Afrika nie. Brandstof was net eenvoudig nie beskikbaar nie. Schnetler vertel: “Almal het gebid. Vrydag, 23 November, kon ons geen brandstof kry nie. Dit is ook ons beleid om nie omkoopgeld te betaal nie. Tienie het by een depot saam met honderde mense tevergeefs in toue gestaan. Ons het vroeër ‘n kontak by ‘n ander

brandstofdepot geskakel en ons posisie verduidelik. Die persoon het gesê om hom weer te skakel. Ek het teruggeskakel en geen antwoord gekry nie. Dit is ‘n standaardpraktyk daar dat jy weer moet skakel en dan antwoord die persoon nie. Saterdag is ons weer Mzuzu toe om brandstof te soek. Ek het die kontak geskakel en die standaard antwoord gehoor. Ek het nie gedink hy sou optel as ek weer bel nie, maar hy het geant­woord en gesê dat ek die joggie moet roep. Die uiteinde was dat ek 50 liter brandstof gekry het! Tienie het na dieselfde depot ge­gaan waar Vrydag geen brandstof was nie en 20 liter gekry. Ons kon terugry tot in Zimbabwe en het daar weer volgemaak!”

Gebedsverhoring op die regte tyd het die jaar in Malawi geken­merk. Dit het egter nie uitgesluit dat daar baie slim met die be­

skikbare fondse gewerk moes word nie. Venter het sy talente om goeie pryse te beding, deeglik ingespan wanneer hy die kos­vooraad vir 47 mense weekliks aangekoop het. “Jy werk met die Here se geld en dit moet wyslik gespandeer word!” het Venter gesê.

Schnetler is verryk deur die kontak met die studente. “Die 40 studente is van alle ouderdomme en agtergronde, van hardwerkend tot kansvatters. Dit was ‘n voor­reg om elke dag die woord van die Here met hierdie toekomstige pastore te kon deel. Die vorder­ing was soms stadig en die preke wat gelewer, is aan die skraps kant, maar algaande het daar ‘n dieper begrip en oorgawe na vore gekom,” sê Schnetler. Al drie derdejaars het hule diplomas ontvang. Daar is ook 17 twee­dejaars en 20 eerstejaars.

Malawi was vir hulle ‘n ryke ervaring

Mnr. tienie Venter (links) en ds. Louis schnetler (regs) het op 28 november teruggekeer ná ‘n jaar by die sola scriptura bybelskool in Malawi. albei is verryk deur die ervaring, maar so ampertjies het die brandstoftekort daar hulle gekeer om terug te kom.

Zoutnet scoops up top awardsLiN Media Awards

Lin Media’s efforts to uplift the profile of in de pendently owned newspapers in the Lim-popo province culminated in the hosting of the group’s inaugural Lin Media awards in tzaneen the past weekend.

LiN Media was established not only to promote the interests of these newspapers, but also to uplift the standard of local journalism, amidst having to compete with conglomerates such as Caxton and Media 24. The Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mir-ror (Zoutnet) form part of this group of LiN pub­lications, currently comprising nine publications. The other seven members are Bulletin (Tzaneen), Kruger2Canyon (Hoedspruit), Northern News (Mokopane and Lephalale), The Post (Bela­Bela) and The Beat (Bela­Bela), Die Kwêvoël (Thabaz­imbi) and Bushbuckridge News (Bushbuckridge). The judging process was conducted by acclaimed professionals in die newspaper industry, including Dr Pedro Diederichs (retired), Fanie Groenewald (retired), Lizette Odendaal, Sholaine Govender­Bateman and Hilke Steenkamp (all from the De­partment of Journalism at the Tshwane University of Technology), as well as Gien Elsas (currently running the Caxton Cadet School). They had this to say, among other things, about the judging process: “We think you can be proud of the quality newspa­pers which all of you, from the most senior to the most junior reporters, sub­editors, lay­out artists, advertising and administrative staff, contribute to on a weekly basis. Your readers (and advertisers) are getting value for their money!”

The competition focussed on both advertising (production) and journalism, with the Zoutpans-berger and Limpopo Mirror scooping up awards in both sections.

In the advertising section, Zoutnet’s Dallien Viljoen walked away with a third place in the cat­egory for Small Advertisements. Top honours in this category went to the team from The Post, while David Morrison from Bulletin was second. Dallien also took a second place in the category for Large Advertisements. Here, the winner was David Mor­

rison, with third place going to Dolla Költzan (Northern News).

Both theZoutpans-berger and Limpopo Mirror did exception­ally well in the catego­ries for Best Front Pages and Newspaper of the Year, with the Zout-pansberger winning the Best Front Pages section and Limpopo Mirror in second place. The Post took overall third posi­tion in this section.

In the Newspaper of the Year section, the Zoutpansberger was placed second overall behind The Post as winner. Here, the Limpopo Mirror was once again in the run­ning, securing a third place. The Limpopo Mirror’s website was also voted the second­best website en­tered, with Die Kwêvoël walking away with first place. The Post was third in this category. In the writing section, the Zoutpansberger secured

two top­three finishes in the fiercely contested Hard News/Local Govern­ment Category, with Isabel Venter taking third place, Andries van Zyl coming second and Ingrid Pepler (The Post) first. Andries also came third in the Human Interest category. In this category, second place went to Valerie Celliers (Northern News) and first place once again to Ingrid.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

Spreuke22:6 - “Gee leiding aan ‘n jong-mens oor hoe hy moet leef, en hy sal ook as hy oud is nie daarvan afwyk nie.”

Vandag se gedeelte leer ons ‘n baie belangrike les. God herinner ons dat

jong mense geleer moet word hoe om reg te lewe. Dit is die weg van geregtigheid, om God lief te hê en om hulle rondom ons ook lief te hê. Almal word geroep om God te vrees en Jesus Christus te vertrou vir jou saligheid. Om kinders Skrifwoordelik te leer is die ouers se verantwoordelikheid.

Mense met ‘n hoenderboerdery het hulle honde geleer om nie die hoenders te pla nie. Hulle het hoendervere aan lappe gewerk en oor ballonne getrek. Elke keer as ‘n klein hondjie naby ‘n ballon kom, het die eienaar die ballon gebars. Die honde, selfs toe hulle groot was, het respek vir hoenders gehad.

Jongmens, maak seker jy gee ag op hulle wat jou aangaande God leer, en deur God se genade wees getroue diens-knegte van Jesus Christus al die dae van jou lewe. Ouers, bid vir julle kinders en stel aan hulle ‘n voorbeeld om Jesus te volg.

Josua het God liefgehad en Hom getrou gedien. Hy het sy gesin geleer om die Here te dien. Op ‘n dag het hy aan die Israeliete gesê: “Wat my en my familie betref, ons sal die Here dien.” (Josua 24:15).

Dit is my gebed dat jy en jou gesin dieselfde sal sê.

Ons begrip oor ‘n goddelikheid word dikwels beperk deur dit wat ons kan visualiseer. Ons

probeer God verstaan in terme van wat ons kan verstaan. Ons kom egter nie by ‘n fraksie van ‘n gedeelte van daardie verstaan uit nie. Die wyse waarop tegnologie die afgelope paar dekades ons lewens verander het, gee ons so ‘n klein venster-tjie oor hoe ver ons nog het om te gaan voor ons eers naby ‘n blik het op dit wat God is.

In die vroeë tagtigs het die tuisrekenaars ‘n werklikheid begin word. In daardie jare se Huisgenoot het ‘n artikel verskyn oor die nuwe rekenaartegnologie en die “32 kilogrepe” ge-heuekaart. Dit was genoeg om sommer ‘n hele paar tydskrifte se artikels op te stoor. Vir almal van ons was dit iets magies, so asof die tyd-skrif fyn opgevou word en binne die rekenaar ingepers word, om later weer blitsvinnig uit te spring.

Ons het geleidelik begin gewoond raak aan sakrekenaars. Ons was gefassineer deur die feit dat die klein “sompompie” ingewikkelde berekenings soos Sin, Cos en Tan kon doen (sonder ‘n boek waarin dit opgeslaan moes word). Terwyl ons nog deur die Commodore en Atari persoonlike rekenaars vermaak is, het die meer ernstiges opgradeer na die IBM’s en later oorgeskakel na Apple. Alles het net vinniger en die geheue al groter geword. Die plafonne wat gestel is vir ontwikkeling, het die een na die ander verdwyn. Selfs die rekenaar-ikoon, Bill Gates, word aangehaal waar hy sê met die ontwikkeling van die aanvanklike bedryfstelsel (PC-DOS) het hulle nooit gedink dat die 640 kilogrepe geheueperk bereik sal word nie.

Gordon Moore, die medestigter van Intel (die bekende vervaardiger van rekenaarpros-esseerders) het in 1965 reeds die bekende Moore’s Law geformuleer. Hy het voorspel dat die hoeveelheid transistors wat in ‘n geïntegreerde stroombaan (IC) ingebou word, elke twee jaar sal verdubbel. Hy het sy “wet”

gebaseer op waarnemings vanaf 1958 tot 1965 en gereken dit sal vir ‘n dekade voortduur. Sy “wet” geld egter al vir meer as ‘n halfeeu en steeds verdubbel rekenaars se spoed en geheuevermoë feitlik elke twee jaar.

In 2009 was die wêreld se vinnigste rekenaar IBM se Roadrunner. Dié rekenaar het inligting teen 1,7 petafl ops, oftewel 1,7 miljoen miljard berekenings per sekonde verwerk. (Dit is ‘n 10 met 15 nulle agteraan!). In November 2012 het die titel behoort aan die rekenaar Titan wat deur Oak Ridge National Laboratory gebou is. Dit dink met ‘n spoed van 17,59 petafl ops.

Tog word rekenaars met al hul vermoëns in die skadu gestel deur die mens se brein. ‘n Gewone rekenaar soos wat meeste van ons by die huis ken, kan ‘n paar honderd miljoen instruksies per sekonde hanteer. Dit klink geweldig baie, maar is steeds nie genoeg vir komplekse take soos om spraak te verstaan nie. Met bietjie geduld en die

regte sagteware, kan jy moontlik jou rekenaar “leer” om neer te skryf wat jy sê. Die rekenaar kan ook geleer word om te reageer op jou stem en sekere bevele uit te voer. As iemand anders egter die bevele gee met ‘n effens anderse aksent, moet jy van vooraf begin. Selfs die vermoë van 100 miljoen instruksies per sekonde is nie eers naastenby genoeg om mee te ding met die mens se brein nie.

Hoe vinnig is die mens se brein dan? Om dit te bereken is baie moeilik. Sou ons byvoorbeeld die mens se oog neem en kyk na die senuweepunte in die retina (daardie gedeelte wat die lig regis-treer en die beelde na die brein deurstuur), gee dit ons amper ‘n idee van die spoed. Die retina is sowat een vierkante sentimeter en is ‘n halwe millimeter dik. Dit bestaan uit 100 miljoen neu-rons. Wetenskaplikes skat dat die retina sowat tien een-miljoen-punt beelde per sekonde na die

brein stuur. As ons nou verder bereken dat die brein self 1 500 keer groter as die retina is, kan ons dalk skat dat die brein sowat 100 triljoen berekeninge per sekonde kan maak.

Net om dit nog meer interessant te maak, kan ons ook meld dat ‘n rekenaar instruksies stuur volgens ‘n binêre kode, d.w.s. dit is ‘n een of ‘n nul. Die mens se brein kan instruksies deur-stuur op heelwat meer maniere. Dit is amper soos om ‘n student te vra hoeveel kombinasies ‘n slot kan hê wat twee rye numeriese nom-mers het van 1 tot 10. Voeg dan die alfabet se letters by as ‘n derde ry en kyk hoeveel kombi-nasies die slot nou het. By die mens se brein is daar sommer ‘n paar miljoen rye alfabetletters wat bygevoeg word.

Nou is die vraag – wat het dit te doen met ons siening van God?

Hoe meer ons leer oor wat moontlik is (met ons beperkte vermoëns), hoe meer respek kry ons vir dit wat geskep is. Ons hoef bloot te kyk na die heelal.

Ons naaste ster, die son, is amper 150 mil-joen kilometer weg. As ons van die een kant van die melkweg na die ander kant wil reis (en ons kry dit reg om teen die spoed van lig te vlieg) sal dit ons 100 000 jaar neem. Aan die buitekante van ons eie sterrestelsel is miljarde ander sonnestelsels. Die heelal is so groot dat dit buitekant ons menslike begrip val.

As kind het ek altyd gewonder hoe God dit dan regkry om in elke mens se hart te kyk. (Dit was die dae toe daar nog net minder as 6 miljard mense op aarde was.) Die idee dat ons eendag met iemand aan die ander kant van die wêreld sal kan gesels met ‘n toestelletjie beswaarlik groter as ‘n sigaretdosie, was nie eers geformuleer nie. Vandag is die konsep om iets te bou wat 6 miljard berekeninge per sekonde kan doen, nie vergesog nie.

As ons as mense hierdie dinge kan maak met ons beperkte breinkrag, watter ongeloofl ike ondenkbare vermoëns het God nie?

Ons hanteer probleme een op ‘n slag

Tydens haar maandelikse besoek, sê die ou tannie aan die dokter: “Hier’s groot fout dokter. Ek is al vir twee weke so winderig ek voel soos ‘n ryer. Die winde kom die een na die ander uit en die drukking en vibrasies pla erg. Gelukkig is dit darem nie ‘n probleem in sosiale omstandighede nie, want dit het geen reuk nie en maak ook geen geluid nie. Ek het selfs al twintig winde gelos vandat ek hier by jou sit.”

Inskiklik knik die dokter sy kop en skryf aan die tannie pille voor en vra dat sy na twee weke moet terugkom om hom weer te sien.

Na twee weke is die ou tannie terug maar die keer is sy woes onsteld:

“Watse pille het jy vir my gegee dokter?! Ek los nog steeds winde soos ‘n resies-

perd op steroids. Dit maak nog steeds geen geluid nie, maar nou vrot dit soos vark-afval wat vir ‘n week in die son gelê en gis het!!!”

Die dokter knik weer inskiklik en sê:“Noudat ons tannie se sinusprobleem

opgelos het, kan ons begin werk aan tannie se gehoorprobleem.”

Ek het maar net ge-wonder

“Meneer”, sê Klein Jannie, “daar is iets wat ek nie verstaan nie.”

“En wat is dit, Jannie?” vra Meneer.“Volgens die Bybel het die kinders van

Israel die Rooisee oorgesteek, reg nê?”“Ja, dit is so.”“En die kinders van Israel het teen die

Filistyne oorlog gemaak, reg?”“Ja, Jannie.”“En die kinders van Israel het die Tempel

gebou, reg?”“En die kinders van Israel het teen

die Egiptenare geveg, en teen die Ro-meine geveg, en die kinders van Israel

het altyd iets belangriks gedoen, reg?”“Wát is jou vraag?”“Wat het die grootmense gedoen?”

This is not funny

In Japan they invented a machine that catches thieves - They took it to different countries for a test.

In the USA, in 30 minutes, it caught 20 thieves;

In the UK, in 30 minutes, it caught 500 thieves;

In Spain, in 20 minutes, it caught 25 thieves;

In Ghana, in 10 minutes, it caught 6 000 thieves;

In Uganda, in 7 minutes it caught 20,000 thieves;

In Nigeria, in 8 minutes, it caught 30,000 thieves;

In South Africa, in 5 minutes the machine was stolen.

Die p&L Fietsryklub het, dank-sy hul Jingle bell toy ride, gesorg dat heelwat kinders wat dié Kersseisoen in die hospitaal gaan deurbring, se harte bly gemaak gaan word.

Sowat 40 fi etsryers, oud en jonk, het Vrydag­aand, 30 November, by Nguni Grill in Makhado (Louis Trichardt) byme­kaar gekom vir deel­name aan dié jaarlikse liefdadigheidsrit. Die inskrywingsfooi was ‘n speelding.

Danksy die goeie ondersteuning van die projek uit plaaslike geledere is letterlik ‘n bakkievrag speelgoed ingesamel, wat genoeg is vir 60 geskenkpak­kies. Dié geskenke sal later aan die kinders in die hospitaal hier uitge­deel word.

“Die fi etse was duide­lik sigbaar en saam met die Kersmusiek is in­woners deeglik bewus gemaak van ons teen­woordigheid. Die roete het deur die hele dorp, asook Eltivillas, gestrek en baie aandag getrek van die gemeenskap. Daar was geesdriftige toeskouers langs die pad wat hulle bydraes ge­lewer het,” sê die klub.

Die klub het ook hul dank uitgespreek teen­oor Talisman Louis

Trichardt, die munisipale ver­keersafdeling, Dries Rossouw en Hennie Engelbrecht (SAPD Reserviste), Nguni Grill, P&L Fietsryklub­lede, asook die pu­

bliek wat hul harte oopgemaak het en speelgoed geskenk het.

“Ons sien uit om die projek ‘n jaarlikse instelling te maak!” sê die klub.
