STANDERTON - Die skielike afsterwe van die sewejarige graad 1 seun, Barend Divan Joubert, vroeg Maandagoggend het die hele Standertongemeenskap tot stilstand geskok.

Wat veronderstel was om ‘n gewone skooldag te wees, het met ‘n enkele oproep verander toe die ouers skool toe ontbied is met die doodsberig. Divan, ‘n sprankelende jong seun en toegewyde karateka, het by die skool inmekaargesak.

Luidens ‘n verklaring uitgereik deur Laerskool Standerton is daar onmiddellik mondtotmond asemhaling en hartmassering (KPR) toegepas maar met die aankoms van ‘n nabygeleë geneesheer, was Divan reeds oorlede. Teen druktyd was die nadoodse ondersoek nog nie afgehandel nie en is die rede van sy dood steeds onbekend. Divan se roudiens sal Vrydagoggend om 11:00 vanuit die NG Moedergemeente in Standerton plaasvind. Hy laat sy ouers, Leon en Marlene, en sussie Zoë agter. JD

Dorp geskok oor seun se dood“o Die pyn-gedagte: My kind is dood!...

Dit brand soos ‘n pyl in my.Die mense sien daar niks nie van,

En die Here alleen die weet wat ek ly.” (Totius)

ERMELO - The MEC of the Department of Community Safety, Security and Liaison MEC Vusi Shongwe’s child was killed after she was knocked down by a car in Ermelo on Wednesday, 15 April. According to the department, the eight-year-old girl, was trying to cross Pet Street near her home at approximately 16:30, when the car hit her.

She was certified dead on the scene and the police are investigating a case of culpable homicide. “As road safety ambassador in the province, MEC Shongwe is very disturbed about the incident. He has been preaching the road safety gospel since he joined the department in 2011, not imagining that such disaster would directly affect him,” Spokesperson for the department, Mr Joseph Mabuza, said.

Students at the Gert Sibande College in Standerton launched a campaign against xenophobia on Monday, 20 April. As South African citizens, these youths aim to show people that xenophobia is affecting students, as there are also foreigners studying at this college. They wanted to make a statement that foreigners also have the right to live and learn. The march was organised by the Student Representative Council (SRC) in such a way that it did not interrupt their classes. The Regional President of the GS Colleges in the Gert Sibande region, Lunga Makube, Nonhlanla Khanye, the Director of Public Relations, as well as the leadership of the Standerton campus wishes to spread the message that xenophobia must stop.

Two suitcases full of brand new cellular phones were recovered from burglars after they were ar-rested by Police last week.

Burglary of a foreign kind

Daughter of MECdies in accident

STANDERTON - Police have recovered goods worth thousands of Rands, following a tip-off about a suspicious looking car spotted in town last week Wednesday at 02:00. The car was spotted by police in Burger Street next to the bridge adjacent to the taxi rank.

When the suspects saw the police closing in on them, they drove off and four others jumped out of the vehicle and fled on foot. Police gave chase and managed to apprehend two suspects not far from the car.

When the police searched the vehicle, they discovered two suitcases full of brand new cellular phones and travelling bags filled with cellular phone batteries and accessories and other electronics. A total of 303 cellu-

lar phones were recovered and a case full of electronic devices such as alarm jamming de-vices and tools like hammers, a cutting torch with gas cylinders, side cutters and rope. Po-lice were also shocked to find the head of a cow or an ox in the vehicle. The two foreign-ers aged 29 and 39 respectively, were arrested and were initially charged with possession of suspected stolen goods. Among the goods recovered, was a Pep Stores labelled bag con-taining some of the stolen goods.

This led the police to investigate and fol-low up clues at the Pep Stores in Charl Cil-liers Street the next morning. It was found to be burgled and initial investigation indi-cated that the suspects gained entry through

the roof using equipment such as the cutting torch and an alarm jamming device.

The store manager positively identified the goods from her store after she opened a case of burglary. Further investigation by the po-lice led to the arrest of two more suspects at Embalenhle Township near Secunda. Lieu-tenant Johannes Nhlabathi, Communications Officer at Standerton Police, said that while one suspect is still at large, an intensified in-vestigation is under way to determine wheth-er the arrested suspects are not linked to other cases. The vehicle which was used by the burglars was confiscated and if they are found guilty it probably will be forfeited. The sus-pects were due to appear in court soon. DM

STANDERTON - Many people come to the police sta-tions with sad stories about being cheated out of their money by fake sangomas. In spite of warnings from police and real sangomas practicing under the lawful Traditional Healers Association, people are tempted to go for shortcuts to richness and go for schemes that cost them their life’s savings. A 48-year-old man from Sakhile, who did not want to be named, called Cosmos News on Monday to share his painful experience.

He said he met up with a man at a private venue. With tears running down his face, he recalled what had happened to him: “I have been stupid, I regret the fate-ful day when I found an advertisement in a national weekend newspaper. A woman from KZN gave testi-mony about a certain magic wallet and she testified that Baba Chipopo and his magic wallet turned her fortunes when she was on the verge of committing suicide due to financial problems.” The man continued: “I immedi-ately called the number provided in the advertisement”

Baba Chipopo responded with a foreign accent and was quick to tell him that the ancestors have shown him that the man needs money to restore his life. He explained various options to test my fortune.

I decided to go for option three using the short man to put R300 in my bank account. After performing his rituals on the phone, he asked me to give my banking details. I gladly gave my banking details, within three hours. I received a message on my cell phone, indeed R300 was deposited. The magic wallet was working for me, I was tempted to tell Baba Chipopo that I have R150 000 in my other account. He was quick to tell me that the magic wallet is going to triple my money.

He told me that within six hours I will have R600 000 in my account. It was Friday, 10 April, when the deal was done. I waited patiently with dreams of how I am going to pay my bills and buy material to extend my RDP house, but to no avail. DM

STANDERTON - Four unions with about 300 members including laid off security guards, marched to Standerton Police Station on Thursday last week to hand a memorandum that is directed to the Office of the Premier of Mpumalanga, Mr DD Mabuza, and Mr Vuse Shongwe, MEC of Public Safety, Security and Liaison.

The memorandum comes in wake of tens of security guards who were left without jobs after a new security services company was appointed to replace Mafoko Security Services from 1 April 2015. Many state institutions have been left unguarded because of a massive downscaling within security companies, while engagements with the authorities were underway. It has come to light that the top ten security companies were instructed by the Department of Safety, Security and Liaison to scale down on man power. This led to a complete breakdown of negotiations between SATAWU and the employers. In solidarity with the workers, COSATU, SANCO, and the SACP joined forces to add their voices to the plight of dismissed workers.

The memorandum calls on the MEC to reinstate all laid off security guards with immediate effect, demanding proper guarding services of government property and patients at clinics and hospitals. It further calls on the MEC to consider the safety of patients, which cannot be compromised, at hospitals. The memorandum demanded a response within seven working days. It is reported that MEC Shongwe could not attent a ceremony to receive the memorandum due to the untimely death of his eight-year-old daughter. March leadership agreed to let Col Sikhakhane from Standerton SAPS cluster Office receive and sign the memorandum on behalf of the MEC. Col Sikhakhane promised that he will make sure the memorandum is delivered safely to the office of the MEC. The march was peaceful and orderly. After the handover marchers walked peacefully to waiting buses that took them back to Sakhile. DM

NASIONAAL – AfriForum sal al sy kragte inspan om te ver-hoed dat Eskom beurtkrag onregverdig toepas. Dít volg nadat die elektrisiteitsreus aangekondig het dat hulle bykomende beurtkrag in die 20 swakste betalende munisipaliteite sal toe pas. Tiaan Esterhuizen, bestuurder van gemeenskapsake by AfriForum, sê dat die burgerregte-organisasie sy regspan op-drag gegee het om die nodige voorbereidings te maak.

“AfriForum sal nie toekyk hoe swak finansiële bestuur deur munisipaliteite lojale belastingbetalers in die donker laat nie.” Esterhuizen meen dit is onregverdig om die belastingbetaler

wat elke maand hul elektrisiteitsrekeninge betaal verder te belas omdat munisipaliteite versuim om hul eie Eskom-re-keninge te vereffen. Hy voeg by dat AfriForum al voorheen interdikte teen Eskom gekry het en nie sal huiwer om gemeen-skappe se regte te beskerm nie. AfriForum het ook in hul vorige interdikte die howe gevra om die munisipaliteite te dwing om ŉ terugbetalingsooreenkoms vas te maak.

Dit plaas Eskom in die posisie om met ŉ minagtingsproses te begin indien die munisipaliteite nie betaal nie. “Munisi-paliteite wat versuim om hul rekeninge te betaal se lisensies

om elektrisiteit te voorsien, moet deur die Nasionale Energie-reguleerder van Suid-Afrika (Nersa) gekanselleer word,” sê Esterhuizen.

AfriForum meen dat die privatisering van elektrisiteits-bestuur onbekwame munisipaliteite sal uitskakel, wat pro-bleme met elektrisiteitsvoorsiening die hoof sal bied. Die privatisering kan ook die invordering van skuld meer doeltref-fend maak en meer akkurate rekeninge kan aan verbruikers verskaf word. (Verklaring deur Tiaan Esterhuizen, Bestu-urder Gemeenskapstrukture) JD

...Hy genees die gebrokenes van hart en verbind hulle wonde - Psalm 147:1,3Aan die begin van ‘n nuwe jaar publiseer nuusblaaie en selfs tydskrifte gewoonlik altyd ‘n lys van name van bekende persone wat die afgelope jaar oorlede is. Miskien sal een van die name by jou ‘n besonderse emosie wakker maak. Moontlik sal daar ook ‘n persoonlike lysie wees, - ‘n vader of moeder, ‘n suster, broer, kind of vriend. Daar is seker niks moeiliker in die ou lewe as om ‘n geliefde aan die dood af te staan nie.

Waarheen kan ons gaan om hulp te kry wanneer pyn en lyding te veel word om te dra? Psalm 147 verklaar dat die Here “die gebrokenes van hart” genees. ‘n Fisiese wond word dadelik behandel, maar die genesing neem tyd. So ook met ons hartseer en pyn. God neem Sy tyd om heling te skenk. Psalm 147 kan vir jou en my tot hulp wees. Dit begin en eindig met die woorde: “Prys die Here!” En tussen die twee uitroepe, word die eienskappe en werke van God besing.

Terwyl jy vandag Psalm 147 lees, dink na of daar nie iets is waarvoor jy die Here kan loof nie! Doen dit elke dag en maak ‘n lys van sy genadegawes. Terwyl jy dit doen, sal daar vir jou heling kom en dan sal jy Hom van harte kan loof! - DCM

Math centre acknowledged and opens in Standerton

During the Master Maths 2015 conference, Master Maths in Morgenzon won the recognition of excellence award. Franchises were accessed according to the students’ mathematic results, the correct usage of the Master Math system, communication with Master Math head office and the parents as well as the development of mathematics in the specific town. Ms Sunette Jacobsz, the franchisee in Morgenzon, is already ten years part of the Master Maths group.

Master Maths specialises in maths tuition for grade 4-12 pupils, N1-N3 and NQF. Master Maths is a progressive method of teaching mathematics. Their unique method of integrating personal contact from tutors with interactive computer lessons, sets them apart from other maths tuition services. By combining the computer-based system with tutors, they teach the learners to find solutions independently. The computer interface first demonstrates how to complete specific problems, after which learners attempt examples and the tutor guides him or her in the right direction.

The system provides pupils with the opportunity to work through the curriculum at their own pace. Learning is reinforced and evaluated both on the computer and through

worksheets and textbooks, which are done in writing and assessed by the tutors. With better understanding comes improved marks and improved confidence.

Once they can realise that they can do maths, and effortlessly recall the concepts, it can bring about miraculous change in their attitude and results. The end result is a positive, motivated, independent pupil who has the opportunity to choose the future he or she wants.

Master Maths opened its doors in Standerton during March this year and is situated on the school grounds of Hoërskool Standerton, in the Charles Hofmeyr building.

It is always better to register in the beginning of the year. As the work is covered in class, Master Maths tutors can help their pupils to consolidate their knowledge. This is better than trying to revise all the work done in the year when it comes to the exams at the end of the year. Some pupils need more help than others.

The Master Maths system is developed for all maths pupils (and maths literacy), pupils that excel in maths and those who really struggle. For more information, phone Ms Sunette Jacobsz on 082 808 5805 or the centre on 060 973 1618 or visit [email protected] or www.mastermaths.co.za. JD

SECUNDA - In a media release issued by the office of the Station Commander of Secunda Police Station, Colonel Willie Nel, they reported on a house-robbery incident which took place on Sunday, 19 April, at about 13:50 in the Secunda area. It is alleged that the victim who is also the complainant in this case, opened a gate at his home thinking that the culprits who were standing in front of the main-gate were his friends who initially informed him that they are coming to visit him.

After opening the gate, five assailants armed with hand guns stormed into his home and they instructed him and other friends to go to a bedroom where they were tied-up for three hours lying on the floor.

Three vehicles, including a Mercedes Benz belonging to the owner of the home and a Porsche which belongs to a visiting friend were stolen during the robbery. Other stolen items include a digital camera, laptop, cash, watches, clothing, a TV set and a firearm. The total value of stolen articles amounts to R5 million.

The robbers left the crime scene in the stolen vehicles. Nobody was injured during the robbery. The Mercedes has been recovered on Monday morning in Daveyton where it was left abandoned. No arrests have been made yet and the police are investigating the matter. Please phone Warrant Officer Thulani Gamede on 017 624 2125 if you could assist them in this case. JD

SECUNDA - A 19-year-old man went on a rampage on Friday, 17 April, near Kruger Street in Secunda where he started to assault a couple with a hammer and they sustained severe head injuries.

STANDERTON - A local businessman is lucky to be alive to recount his story. This follows a robbery that took place at his shop in Walter Sisulu Drive on Tuesday evening. According to the police, the man was alone at his store after the rest of the staff had knocked off.

When the electricity went off due to load shedding he lit a candle. It is reported that two unknown men walked into the shop at 22:00 and bought some loose cigarettes and peacefully walked out. About ten minutes later another pair walked in and were also looking for cigarettes, but they suddenly pulled out knives and demanded money from the store owner. The first two men

came back and joined in. While the store owner was still trying to come to terms of what was happening, one suspect allegedly stabbed him with a knife in the chest.

They stole three cellphones, airtime vouchers and an undisclosed amount of cash. They fled the scene in the store owner’s car. After the robbery had taken place the man managed to phone the police.

A case of business robbery was opened for investigation. There was no trace of the car and the suspects were still at large at the time of printing.

Police are warning business owners to close their shops if load shedding takes place at night. DM

Standbeeldskending is Zuma se skuld, sê AfriForum

Hou ons Facebook-blad dop vir al die nuutste gebeure in en om Standerton - besoek gerus: www.facebook.com/kosmosnuusnou

NASIONAAL - Die burgerregte-organisasie AfriForum meen dat president Jacob Zuma die skuld moet dra vir die reeks standbeeld-skendings wat die land teister, aangesien sy uitlating dat al die land se probleme met die aankoms van Jan van Riebeeck begin het, die katalisator vir die beeldskendings was.

Volgens Alana Bailey, adjunk uitvoerende hoof van AfriForum, het Zuma met sy uitla-ting Afrikaners en wittes oor die algemeen as sondebok in die land uitgesonder.

Die EFF het na sy uitlatings goeie gebruik gemaak van die emosie wat dit ontketen het deur die anti-standbeeld debat vir eie ideo-logiese gewin te kaap en die mediagolf wat daaromheen onstaan het, met groot ywer te ry. Bailey het daarop gewys dat indien

standbeelde soos dié van Paul Kruger, wat ŉ belangrike deel van Afrikaners se erfenis uitmaak, nie meer in die openbaar welkom is nie, die vraag gevra kan word of Afrikaners steeds welkom is in die land onder Zuma se leiding. “In plaas daarvan om sterk leiding teen standbeeldskenders te toon, het Zuma dit eerder wys gevind om die rooi tapyt vir die menseregte skender en rassis Robert Mugabe uit te rol,” het Bailey gesê.Volgens Bailey behoort Zuma in die lig van die standbeeld-skendings, sy neerhalende uitsprake terug te trek, verskoning te vra en alles moontlik te doen om wedersydse erkenning en respek tus-sen Suid-Afrika se gemeenskappe te probeer herstel.

STANDERTON - Sifiso Sibeko started a support group in Standerton with the main goal of provid-ing assistance to drug addicts seeking a way out of drugs.

The support group will operate every Tuesday from 17:00 until 19:00 at the old age home in Sakhile (opposite Thokoza).

The support group consists of ex-addicts who have already

gained experience and helped addicts in other towns to break the grip that drugs have on their lives. Sifiso also invites family members and friends to these meet-ings in order for them to learn how to han-dle an addict.

The service they provide is absolutely free of charge and is mainly based on the word of God.

STANDERTON - Die ondervinding wat mnr Giela Nel en sy gesin die afgelope tyd met Kansa se Standerton-tak gehad het, het gesorg dat daar ‘n baie positiewe siening by hom geskep is. Mnr. Nel se eggenoot, me Magda Nel, is ongeveer drie jaar gelede met kolonkanker gediagnoseer en sy is op 13 Maart vanjaar oorlede. Die besoeke, mo-rele en finansiële ondersteuning het die Nel familie deur hierdie siekbed tydperk gedra, en hulle is opreg dankbaar daarvoor.

Mnr Nel sê dat hy Kansa nog onthou as die Tok-Tokkie vereniging wat van deur tot

deur bydraes en donasies kom vra het en daarna hoor jy nooit weer van hulle nie. Hy het nou self beleef dat die hele beeld van Kansa verander het, dat hulle fondsinsame-lingsprojekte van stapel stuur en die publiek positief bystaan en ondersteun. Voorts sê hy dat mense méér betrokke moet raak by Kansa, “Hiérdie mense doen goeie werk.”

Mnr Nel en sy gesin bedank graag Kansa Standerton-tak en al die betrokke personeel en vrywilligers vir hul onbaatsugtige en vol-gehoue ondersteunig. JD
