Stoute Jan groetDeur Andries van Zyl

As daar nou een woord sou wees om die Sout-pansberg se Jan Louw te beskryf, sou dit Ubuntu gewees het. Hy was ‘n man wat hierdie Afrika-fi -losofi e van sorgsaamheid, mededeelsaamheid en naasteliefde in woord en daad uitgelewe het.

Die nuus van Jan se dood, skaars drie dae na sy 55ste verjaardag op 17 Junie, het die Soutpans-berg-gemeenskap geruk. Hy het Maandagoggend, met sy vriendin Dina, kinders en familie langs hom, sy stryd teen kanker verloor in die Kloofhospitaal in Pretoria. Dit volg skaars drie-en-‘n-half maande nadat hy met ‘n baie rare en uiters aggressiewe kanker gediagnoseer is. Die kanker was so ag-gressief dat daar geen sprake was van opereer nie, en chemoterapie sou hom ook nie meer kon help nie.

“Dit was te vin-nig,” het Vaughan van Niekerk Dinsdag gesê. Hy en Jan is reeds se-dert die middel 1980’s boesemvriende. “As ons 24 uur per dag GoPro’s kon dra, sou hulle 10 fi lms van ons kon maak,” sê Vaughan met ‘n groot, stoute glimlag.

Jan is hier in die Soutpansberg gebore en getoë en was by Laerskool Soutpansberg op skool. “Daarna was hy by drie hoërskole in die streek, maar is by aldrie uitgeskop. Hy was baie stout gewees, maar het sy matriek geskryf,” glimlag Vaughan.

In lewe was Jan voorwaar een van daardie groter-as-lewensgroot mense wat diep spore, nie net plaaslik nie, maar ook landswyd getrap het. Op sportgebied het hy vir jare vir Louis Trichardt se eerste rugbyspan uitgedraf. Meer onlangs is hy ook deur die Louis Trichardt Rugbyklub aangewys as Ondersteuner van die Jaar. Op boerdery-gebied was hy ‘n pionier gewees om die Boran-beesras uit Kenia na Suid-Afrika te bring. Baie sal hom ook

onthou vir die hoeveelheid pryse wat hy met sy hoenders en eende op skoue plaaslike en nasionaal gewen het. Hy was ‘n man met ‘n ongeloofl ike veggees en aktiewe lid van die Soutpansberg Dis-trikslandbou-unie. ‘n Sprekende voorbeeld van sy veggees was in Junie 2011 toe hy 15 keer met ‘n mes gesteek is tydens ‘n plaasaanval op sy plaas Nooitgedacht. Nie lank ná die aanval nie was hy, te midde van die seer, terug op sy plaas, besig om te boer.

Dit waarvoor Jan egter die bekendste was, was vir die ongeloofl ike terggees wat hy was. Hy het ‘n grap gehad vir elke geleentheid. “Jy weet, ons het een keer ‘n groep amputees van Afganistan vir sewe dae na Kariba geneem. Jan was die vonk wat daardie ouens, in hul getraumatiseerde toestand,

kon laat lag ... daar was ouens wat bene verloor het, beide arms – van hulle was die enigstes wat oorleef het uit ‘n groep van 10 … dit was Jan,” onthou Vaughan.

Alhoewel Jan bekend was as stoute terggees, was daar ‘n baie dieper

kant van hom gewees. “Sy passie vir sy familie was ongeëwenaard. Hy was ‘n harde man, maar ongeloofl ik regverdig. Jan was altyd die een wat ander ouens eerste laat kry het, hetsy by ‘n braai of as salarisse betaal moes word. Hy het laaste gevat,” sê Vaughan. Hy voeg by dat hy nooit, ooit vir Jan ‘n leuen hoor vertel het nie. “Hy was altyd reguit en eerlik, soms tot die vlak waar dit seermaak, maar jy het altyd geweet presies waar jy met Jan Louw staan,” sê Vaughan.

Vaughan sê dat baie mense ook net vir Jan geken het as boer op sy plaas, maar dat hulle nie besef het hoeveel ander fasette Jan gehad het nie. “Soos sy aalwyne. Hy het nie net geweet waar die aalwyn vandaan kom nie, maar ook wat elkeen se biologiese naam is. (Vervolg op p. 2)

(Vervolg van p. 1)

“Hy was ‘n gebore ver-samelaar, van ou karre, En-gelse lite ra tuur en items uit die Boer-geskiedenis. Jy moet die boeke sien wat hierdie man gehad het ... Hy was welbelese met ‘n kop vir besigheid. Hy was nie net ‘n spoeg-en-plak boer nie. Jan het nie net sy beeste geken nie, hy was lief vir hulle. Wanneer medikasie toegedien moes word, het hy dit self gedoen. Wanneer kunsma-tige inseminasie gedoen moes word, het hy dit self gedoen. Hy

het nie geskroom om ander bo-ere te help nie. As daar ‘n vuur op die buurplaas was, was Jan eerste daar. So ook het hy baie opkomende boere gehelp. Hy was ‘n voorbeeld van ‘n Ubuntu boer,” sê Vaughan.

(Wat betref Jan se aalwynver-sameling, sê Vaughan, praat hy onder korreksie, maar van die sowat 120 spesies in Suid-Af-rika het Jan net twee of drie spesies nie op sy plaas gehad nie.)

Buiten vir sy passie vir die na tuur en natuurbewaring, het Jan ook ‘n passie vir mense

gehad. “So groot as wat sy hart was, so groot was sy beursie. Hy het almal gehelp, hetsy die Tafelronde, Ro tariërs, Ladies Circle, skole, kerke – almal, want Jan maak ‘n plan!” sê Vaughan, ‘n sentiment wat deur talle beaam sal word.

Vaughan neem met hartseer afskeid van sy vriend.

“Die lojali teit wat ek van hom ervaar het, was dieselfde wat jy sou verwag van ‘n broer. Die entoesiasme wat hy gehad het in wat ek mee be sig was, is iets wat ek altyd sal vashou,” sê Vaughan.

Deur Andries van Zyl

“Dit was nie iets wat ons verwag het nie … dit gaan maar moeilik.”

Hartseer woorde van wyle Jan Louw se jongste seun, Wynand. Te midde van ‘n druk program ten opsigte van administrasie en begrafnisreëlings het hy, sy broer Danie en suster Annemie tyd afgestaan om hulde te bring aan hul pa.

“My pa, my held! So ‘n harde man, maar tog so sag. ‘n Man wat kon lag en liefde uitstraal. ‘n Man wat omgegee het vir die mense om hom en altyd tyd gemaak het vir hulle. Hy het oneindig baie planne gehad wat nooit opgeraak het nie. Hy was iemand wat hard gewerk het met sy hande en het vir geen taak teruggestaan nie…” So onthou Wynand sy pa.

“Toe ek pappa moes groet Maandag, kon niks my voorberei vir die seer wat wag nie. Ek wonder elke dag hoe ek hierdeur gaan kom en aanbeweeg, maar dan onthou ek pappa sou wou hê ek moet net,” skryf ‘n hartseer Annemie in haar huldeblyk aan haar pa.

Wynand sê dat hy nie vir ‘n beter leermeester in die lewe kon vra nie.

“Hy was ‘n man wat trots was op alles wat hy gedoen het. ‘n Man vol passie en lus vir die lewe. Dit het uit sy oë gestraal – die liefde en die omgee,” sê Wynand.

Annemie sukkel maar om haar pa se dood te verwerk. “Ek mis my pa so baie. My hart kramp en my trane is nog ver van klaar. Ek is kwaad en alles wat daarmee gepaard gaan, maar ek besef

God het my pa meer nodig gehad as ons. Hy het sy mooiste vetplant kom pluk,” skryf Annemie. Sy het haar pa as die beste pa ooit beskryf. “So lekker as wat ons kon baklei, so ook kon ons mekaar liefhê. As pa ‘n kansie kry en afkyk aarde toe na my, hoop ek pa weet hoe baie ek verlang.”

Wynand sê dat boet Danie eweneens sukkel met die hartseer van sy pa se dood. “Hy vat dit maar baie sleg. Hy praat nie veel nie, maar ons weet hoe hartseer hy is. Hy sal veral sy pa se ondersteuning mis by sy rugbywedstryde,” sê Wynand.

‘n Roudiens word Vrydag, 24 Junie, om 11:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt vir wyle Jan gehou. Die diens sal waargeneem word deur past. Leonie Meyfarth.

“Ons as familie wil net graag almal bedank wat op een of ander manier my pa bygestaan het tydens sy siekte en nou ook ons familie bystaan met sy afsterwe. Spesiaal wil ons baie, baie dankie sê aan tannie Dina. Baie dankie, tannie, vir alles wat tannie vir my pa gedoen en beteken het tot op die einde. Tannie was voorwaar ‘n steunpilaar vir hom gewees,” sê Wynand. Hy het ook die Makhado Care Group namens die familie bedank vir die ontsaglike bystand wat hulle aan sy pa gegee het, asook die deernis waarmee hulle sy pa en familie hanteer het.

Wyle Jan word oorleef deur sy ouers, oom Danie en tannie Kittie, drie kinders, kleinkinders (Aldo en Anzé) en almal wat hom liefgehad het.

“Rus in vrede – die lewe is beter daar,” was Wynand se groetwens aan sy pa.

Nie net hul pa nie, maar hulle held

Soutpansberg se stoute Jan groet

“Liewe Jesus het hierdie mense na ons gestuur!”

Deur Isabel Venter

Louis Trichardt se mense het hulle harte en beursies oopgemaak vir klein Leo Botha (16 maande).

Dié pragtige jong kankerleiertjie het diep in die gemeenskap se harte ingekruip, en hulle het nie ge-huiwer om hom te help nie. KleuterKampus, waar Leo se ouboet Alexander skool gaan, het verlede Donderdag ‘n spesiale fondsinsameling gereël. Die skool se hoof, Liezel Botha, was aangedaan oor die oorweldigende ondersteuning wat die projek ontvang het. “Dit was net die Genade van Bo ... ons moes later daar by Spar inhardloop om nog bestanddele te koop,” het Liezel Woensdag gesê.

Sy en die mamma’s van die skool het gedink sowat 100 stokworse en 10 liter pannekoekdeeg sou genoeg wees – toe nie. “Liewe Jesus het die mense gestuur ... hulle het na ons gestroom en ons is dankbaar vir elkeen wat ons kom ondersteun het, sodat ons vir Leo kan uithelp,” het Liezel gesê.

Met die dag se verkope het die span mammas nagenoeg R20 000 ingevorder. So met die verloop van die naweek het dié bedrag gegroei tot net meer

as R30 000. Al die fondse sal gaan om Leo en sy familie se lewensuitgawes te help betaal.

Meeste van Leo se mediese onkostes en chemo-terapie word betaal deur ‘n mediese fonds, maar dit is veral die reiskostes elke week na Pretoria wat nou ‘n swaar las geword het. “Dit is maar moeilik op Leo se gesin – hulle moet nou vir ‘n gesin sorg wat in twee gedeel is. In die week is Leo en sy ma alleen in Pretoria en sy pa en boetie moet agterbly in Louis Trichardt,” het Liezel gesê.

Behalwe vir almal wat die projek kom onders-teun het, het Liezel ook groot lof gehad vir al die skool se ouers wat nie geskroom het om te help nie. “Ek is ongeloofl ik baie geseën met al die mammas van die skool; hulle het nie gehuiwer om te help nie en was vol geesdrif gewees,” het Liezel gesê.

Cherise, Leo se ma, het hierdie week die volgen-de op Facebook geskryf:

“Ons as ‘n familie, Jaydee en ek en ons seuns, is sprakeloos. Al wat ons kan sê is dankie. Uit die diepte van ons harte, dankie vir elke persoon wat ons baba se fondsinsameling ondersteun het. Dit is absoluut ongeloofl ik hoeveel mense vandag nog harte van goud het.”

Al die mammas van die KleuterKampus het verlede Donderdag reggestaan met die panne by ‘n kosstalletjie wat hulle beman het langs die parkeerarea van Spar Soutpansberg om fondse in te samel vir baba Leo. Die ondersteuning van die dorp, het die skoolhoof Liezel gesê, was oorweldigend. Foto verskaf.

Baobabs are such an integral part of Limpopo, but how many people really know all the secrets that they hold?

Local baobab patron Dr Sarah Venter this week released an info booklet, entitled The Little Big Baobab Book. This small book is packed with information about province’s most famous giants, sometimes also called the ‘upside-down tree.’

In the preface, Sarah explains that she was inspired by her PhD research on baobab trees. “I felt that the research that appears in scientifi c papers and theses is not available to most people, es-pecially to the VhaVenda people whose lives are so closely linked to the baobab trees of South Africa,” writes Sarah. “It is my hope that everyone will learn what a valuable tree the baobab is and be motivated to become a custodian of this magnifi cent species,” she adds.

EcoProducts, Sarah’s compa-ny, has played an enormous role over the past decade in ensuring that the global trade in baobab powder and oil has bettered the lives of the VhaVenda, from whom she sources her product. Over the years, Sarah has also worked towards establishing baobab fruit powder – Africa’s super fruit. She strips the baobab powder (which is also sold) and extracts the oil from the seeds, which is especially popular in overseas cosmetic products.

These are just some of the in-teresting facts that can be found in The Little Big Baobab Book. It also contains details about the use of the various parts of the baobab tree (leaves, bark and wood), as well as the uses of the baobab in traditional healing practices. For those interested in growing their own baobab tree, there are helpful tips that Sarah has collected during the years.

Locally, this little book can be bought for only R50 from

Noorde Wapens, The Farm Stall at the Avoca Vale Hotel and Leigh-A.

Most of the proceeds will go towards the Eco Products Foundation that is aimed at promoting an awareness of bao-bab ecology and the long-term conservation of the trees.

Sarah can also be contacted for more information at Tel 082 374 9534 or by writing her an email at [email protected].

Little book has really big story to tell

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 24 JUNIE 2016 3

Deur Andries van Zyl

Mnr. Fritz Ahrens, voorsitter van die Louis Trichardt boerevereniging, het hierdie week hulde gebring aan Jan Louw wat Maandag oorlede is.

Ahrens het gesê dat die gemeenskap vir jare die heengaan van Jan Louw sal voel. “Jan Louw was die mees lewenslustige persoon en ‘n boer in murg en been,” het Ahrens gesê. Hy het sy medelye uit-gespreek teenoor al Jan se geliefdes, asook die hele gemeenskap. “Ons wens sy fami-lie sterkte en krag toe in die moeilike tyd. So ‘n besonderse mens sal gemis word. Hy het onuitwisbare spore in die harte van almal wat hom geken en liefgehad het, gelaat. Sy heengaan laat ‘n leemte

wat nooit gevul sal word nie.”Ahrens het Jan beskryf as iemand wat

werklik ‘n verskil in die lewe gemaak het. “Hoeveel van ons maak ‘n verskil aan die wêreld waarin ons woon? Jan Louw het! Hierdie stralende mens met sy ondeunde geaardheid was op soveel terreine van ons samelewing nie ‘n toeskouer nie, maar hy het voluit gelewe. ‘n Gemeenskapsmens, ‘n omgee-mens, ‘n doener-mens,” het Ahrens gesê.

Ahrens uit uitgebrei oor die besonderse mens wat Jan was. “Hy het vir homself gedink en het en nie geskroom om sy opinie te gee en dan ook daarby te hou nie. Hy was ‘n vindingryke mens en sy hande het vir niks verkeerd gestaan nie. Almal wat hom geken het, sal hom onthou vir sy

liefde vir sy beeste, sy braaiers wat hy gebou het, sy reguit mani-er en sy ongeloofli-ke sin vir humor. Jan sou alles wat hy het, gee om die mense na aan hom te help. Hy het voluit geleef, hard gewerk, maar ook lek-ker gekuier. Daar was altyd tyd vir ‘n grap-pie, stuitigheid of ‘n streep trek. Hy het ‘n grusame aanval met 15 meswonde oorleef. Hy was Jannetjie Louw,” het Ahrens gesê.

Selfs toe Jan met kanker gediagnoseer is, sê Ahrens, onthou hy Jan se eie woor-de: Nou moet ek sterk

wees! “Hy het positief gebly en hard geveg, maar almal kon sien hoe sy liggie al flouer brand,” het Ahrens gesê.

Ahrens het gesê dat dit vir hom ‘n voor-reg was om Jan te kon ken. “Dankie dat ons saam met jou kon werk, kon speel en kon lag,” het Ahrens gesê.

As verdere huldeblyk aan Jan, het Ahrens as voorsitter namens die Louis Trichardt Boerevereniging die volgende gedig aan Jan opgedra:

Want jy is ‘n Boer

Mag dit reën waar jou beeste weiMag dit goed gaan met jouMag jou skape begin jakkals jagMag jou koring silo’s bou

Mag jou listerpomp met water werkMag jou cruiser lig op brandstof weesMag jou heinings altyd regop staanMag jou vee vanself geneesWant jy is boer

Hierdie is my wens vir jouJy sal staan as alles om jou vouJy sal plant al is die reën te laatEn glo in die hand van boWat alles weer nat sal maakWant jy is boer, jy is boer

Jy sal opstaan in die more voor die son opkom

En werk tot hy weer loop sakDaarna is jy ‘n familie manOnder ‘n platteland sterredak

Mag jou vrugtebome kromrug draMag fonteine om jou lande lêEn mag ons wat honger en dors isNetso bietjie vir jou dankie sê

“Sy heengaan laat ‘n leemte wat nooit gevul sal word nie”

Inwoners sal volgende week net twee kanse hê om die plaas like teaterstuk, Amari-kana, te sien.

Hierdie eenman-verhoogstuk, uit die pen van plaaslike skrywer Marcel van Niekerk, sal vanaf 11 tot 16 Julie op die planke wees by die gesogte Vrystaat Kunstefees. Marcel het in Ok-tober verlede jaar vir die eerste keer Amarikana opgevoer hier in Louis Trichardt voor ‘n klein, intieme gehoor. Hy sal in die komende week, op Donderdag (30 Junie) en Vrydag (1 Julie), die stuk weer opvoer.

In Amarikana vertolk Marcel die rol van die verteller-hoof-karakter Adam, wat sy storie deel met Jane en die gehoor. Die inspirasie vir die stuk was

die bloedbad wat ontstaan het tydens stakings en protesop-togte by die Lonminmyn naby Rustenburg in Augustus 2012. Tydens dié opstand is 44 mense dood en nog heelwat meer mense beseer.

Die Amarikana wat Marcel in die Vrystaat sal opvoer, sal egter in ‘n heel ander gedaante opgevoer word as toe dit verlede jaar vir die eerste keer hier in die uPCafé te sien was.

Marcel verduidelik dat hy nie net geskaaf het aan die teks nie, maar ook letterlik aan die fisiese stel. “By die fees gaan ons op ‘n groot verhoog optree, wat ‘n stel vereis het,” sê Marcel. Tesame gee die nuwe teks, stel en regie meer diepte aan Adam en Jane se drama wat sentreer om die metafoor “tap” en trek sodoende die gehoor in. “Die koffie word

getap uit ‘n boon, die myne tap uit die aarde en dag vir dag ook uit die myners wat ondergronds moet werk,” sê Marcel.

Terwyl Marcel besig is met al dié voorbereidings, maak hy ook tyd om saam met die toneel-groep van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt te oefen. Die skool se groep is uitgenooi om deel te neem aan die Reza de Wet Tienertoneelfees, wat aangebied word saam met die Vrystaat Kunstefees.

Kaartjies vir volgende week se vertonings kan by Marcel of die Agapé Kerkkantoor aange-koop word teen R30 per kaartjie.

Vir meer inligting of kaart-jies, skakel Marcel of die kerk-kantoor by tel. 074 242 9984 of 015 516 3725. Beide aande se vertonings begin om 19:00 in die Agapé se kerksaal.

The Limpopo Bushveld is home to a new state-of-the-art photovoltaic (PV) plant that will connect 66 megawatt (MW) of power to the national electricity grid.

This renewable-energy unit of the Italian energy group Enel was constructed at Tom Burke, rais-ing its installed capacity in the country to nearly 160MW. Enel started construction of the PV plant in March 2015.

“The power produced by the Tom Burke power plant is injected to the national power grid, and will be fully available to the people of Limpopo,” said Enel on Monday.

The Tom Burke PV plant is capable of generating up to 122 gigawatt-hours a year, which is equiva-lent to the annual consumption needs of around 38 thousand households, while avoiding the emission of over 111 thousand tonnes of CO2 into the atmo-sphere each year. The plant is also supported by a 20-year power purchase agreement with Eskom, having been procured through the government’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP).

Through the REIPPPP, the government has pro-

cured 6 377 MW of renewable energy since 2011, stimulating private investment of around R200 bil-lion. The evaluation of bids for a further 1 800MW allocation is underway, which could increase the investment amount to more than R255 billion.

In South Africa, Enel’s South African renewable subsidiary Enel Green Power SA currently owns the Tom Burke plant and, in addition, the 10 MW Upington PV power plant situated in the Northern Cape, and a further 364MW of projects that are currently under construction. They are the Adams (82.5MW) and Pulida (82.5MW) PV plants and the Nojoli (88MW) and Gibson Bay (111MW) wind farms.

Enel expressed the hope that they would be able to secure similar projects to develop more solar plants within the Limpopo Province.

“We are currently exploring other investment opportunities all over South Africa and including, of course, Limpopo, a province very rich in solar resource. Enel Green Power is currently proceeding with an approximately R20 billion investment plan in the country. We are also considering investments in other Sub-Saharan countries. Recently we were awarded a 34MW photovoltaic plant in Zambia, through a public tender,” said Enel.

Court News

Two men from Louis Trichardt are to stand trial on charges of theft for allegedly stealing from M Premjee & Sons.

Hussain Mohammed (31) and Ravi Mohammed (29) appeared in the Louis Trichardt District Court on Monday. They were charged in January this year, fol-

lowing their arrest. The charges of theft against them relate to allegations that they had stolen a little more than R10 000’s worth of merchandise from Premjee.

The two men apparently had an arrangement with another busi-ness owner to sell him the stolen merchandise for a cash fee. Both were caught when Premjee took a closer look at security footage

after a trolley of goods had gone missing in January this year.

During Monday’s court ap-pearance, the State indicated that the two accused decided to go on trial because they did not agree with all the allegations contained in the theft charges against them.

For this reason, the two men’s case was postponed until 25 July, when it is expected to continue.

Two in court over theft at business

Die Gereformeerde Kerk Louis Trichardt het onlangs tydens hul weeklikse erediens, ‘n oorkonde van dank aan mev. Nanette Malan oorhandig. Sy dien die gemeente reeds vir 25 jaar met groot onderskeidiing as administratiewe beampte en koster. Saam met haar in die foto is die leraar van die gemeente, ds. Innes Nagel.

Awards

The Zoutnet group of newspapers, the Zoutpans-berger and her sister publication, the Limpopo Mirror, showed once again that they can hold their own against the best the community and local press industry has to offer in South Africa.

The Zoutpansberger performed very well and won two of the top trophies during the Local Media Excellence Awards, hosted by the Forum for Com-munity Journalists (FCJ). One of their journalists, Isabel Venter, also managed to win a first place in the category Best Hard News Photograph.

Last Friday saw the first ever FCJ Local Media Excellence Awards taking place at the Leriba Hotel & Day Spa in Centurion. The awards have previ-ously been hosted with Sanlam and the MDDA as the main sponsor of the event. Sanlam withdrew from the competition last year, however, which led to the FCJ themselves hosting the awards this year. For the past 25 years the competition has been presented with the aim to recognise excellence in community media, small commercial (print) and lo-cal media owned by the mainstream media (print).

Receiving over 800 entries this year (news-papers, writing and photographs combined), the judging panel was pleased with the remarkable increase in print entries, saying: “The local me-dia is clearly at the forefront of informing [and entertaining] the communities they serve. In fact, print media is far from dying when one looks at the local media newspapers. On the contrary, it is alive and kicking.”

In the newspaper category, the Zoutpansberger did exceptionally well and was announced as the Best Independent Commercial Newspaper (older than five years). The newspaper also took top honours in the category Best Front Pages, with the Limpopo Mirror taking second place in the same category.

The Zoutpansberger’s news editor, Andries van

Zyl, managed to secure a top-10 finish in the highly contested Journalist of the Year category. (He took top honours in this category the previous year). The overall winner in this category was Jana Boshoff from the Middelburg Observer. Apart from this, Andries also impressed in the categories for Human Interest and Sport News, boasting a top-10 finish in both. Andries’ colleague, Isabel, apart from her first place win with a news photograph showing a truck driver working hand-in-hand with local firemen, also took second place in the category for Best Feature Photographs. Another news photo of hers won an eighth place, while fellow journalist and photographer from the Limpopo Mirror Elmon Tshikhudo won a fourth place in the same category.

In the other photography categories, Isabel managed to win a fourth place in the category for Best Portrait Photographs and a ninth place in the category for Best Sport Photographs. In the writing categories, Isabel also managed to take two top-10 finishes in the category for both Hard and Sport News.

Another fellow writer and correspondent for the Limpopo Mirror, Tshifhiwa Mukwevho, scooped up a top-10 finish in the category for Hard News.

“The awards are recognition of the hard work, often under difficult circumstances, of the team we have at the Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror,” says Anton van Zyl, manager of Zoutnet and pub-lisher of the two newspapers. “We have always placed a high premium on editorial content. In an era where people consume content via a variety of sources, it is important to focus on quality and be a trusted source of information,” he says. According to Anton, this is what distinguishes a newspaper that cares about the community it serves from the ones merely there to rake in advertising revenue. “The journalists need to do more than just collect news material. They need to interpret and select, but most of all be sensitive to the needs of this specific community,” he says.

Local newspapers still able to hold their own

The Zoutpansberger and Limpopo Mirror proved their worth during the past weekend’s FCJ Local Media Excellence Awards. Picture with the awards the newspapers won are, from left to right,

Wikus Lee (editor, Limpopo Mirror), Tshifihiwa Mukwevho (correspondent Limpopo Mirror), Andries van Zyl (news editor Zoutpansberger) and Isabel Venter (journalist).

Elmon Tshikhudo, journalist for the Limpopo Mirror, won a fourth place in the category Hard News Photograph during the annual FCJ Media Excellence Awards.

Time running out fast to enter art

Sarisa van der Goot van Laerskool Louis Trichardt het haar stem dik gemaak tydens die Limpopo finaal van die jaarlikse ATKV-Redenaarskompetisie wat op Vrydag, 10 Junie, aangebied is te Curro-Heuwelkruin in Polokwane. Nie net verwerf sy uitstekende punte in die kategorie vir Graad 6 tot 7 huistaal nie, maar sy verower ook ‘n algehele tweede plek in die provinsie en verwerf sodoende haar provinsiale kleure. Sy dring ook deur om op 11 Augustus aan die nasionale finaal van die kompetisie deel te neem by die ATKV-Buffelspoort Vakansieoord naby Rustenburg. “Slegs twee leerlinge per kategorie is gekies om aan die nasionale rondte deel te neem, en juis daarom is ons so trots op Sarisa se prestasie,” het juf. Sussa Elhers van Triegies gesê.

Lika Burger, ‘n Graad R-leerling van Laer-skool Louis Trichardt, het onlangs gehoor sy het deurgedring na die nasionale en finale rondte van die Radikale Redenaarskompetisie wat op 12 Oktober aangebied sal word by Garsfontein Hoërskool in Pretoria. Nog ‘n Graad R-leerling, Joharet Jordaan, het ook gekwalifiseer om in Pretoria deel te neem, maar was afwesig tydens die neem van die foto.

Twee van Laerskool Louis Trichardt se leer-linge is gekies as reserwes vir die ATKV se nasionale finaal wat op 11 Augustus aangebied sal word. Links is Shiloh van Zyl, wat deelge-neem het aan die kategorie Graad 1 tot 3 huistaal en ‘n derde plek gewen het tydens die Limpopo finaal. Haar mede-leerling, Sun-gu Khosa, het ‘n vierde plek verower in die kategorie Graad 6 tot 7 Afrikaans addisionele Taal (voorbereid en onvoorbereid).


against Dingane in February 1840, he and his 335 men collected some 40 000 cattle as well as 1 000 children. These children were later “booked in” in Pietermaritzburg. The trade in young slaves was also not a strange occurrence among many of the Black tribes. Women and children caught during wars were either subjugated or traded. Captured

slaves, often referred to as “black ivory”, were sold to traders who took them to the various ports to be shipped away on dangerous journeys to other continents.

It was the system of catering for “foster chil-dren” that seems to have created the loophole for citizens of the ZAR to deal in child slaves. On 9 May 1851 a law was passed by the Volksraad, regulating the control of “apprentices”. The Apprenticeship Act men-tions orphan children as well as gifts of children. The trading of children outside the border of the Transvaal was strictly forbidden. The Act made it possible to legally transfer children from one owner to another owner.

The children had to be registered with the Landdrost within eight

days. A penalty of fi ve rijksdaalers was payable for failing to do so. A fi ne of 50 to 500 rijksdaal-ers was payable for obtaining children illegally.

The story of MW Pretorius has another angle, which paints a much darker picture of his infl u-

ence on the lives of the people in the Zoutpansberg. MW Pretorius, along with numerous other promi-nent people, also took part in the controversial “in-boekeling” system, condemned in some circles as an excuse for child slavery.

To understand where it all came from, one has to go back all the way to the start of the 19th century, back to an era where the trading in slaves was an everyday occurrence. At the closest harbour to the Zoutpansberg, Inhambane, some 1 000 slaves were annually sold in the 1830s. The buyers came mostly from France, but some slaves were even shipped to countries such as Brazil.

Evidence of the extent of this form of trade is not diffi cult to fi nd. When Louis Trichardt arrived in Delagoa Bay (Maputo) on 30 April 1838, he mentions in his diary that he had traded a horse for two child slaves. When commandant-general Andries Pretorius was victorious in the battle

President M.W. Pretorius.

This week we continue our exploration of the history surrounding President Street, presumably named after the fi rst president of the ZAR, MW Pretori-us. He was the son of the famous Voortrekker leader, Andries Pretorius and was born on 17 September 1819 in Graaff-Reinett in the Cape Colony. At the age of 19 he joined his parents when the families embarked on the Great

Pretorius Street

The times were a’changin for a controversial president (part 2)

Trek to the north. President MW Pretorius was no stranger to the

people of the Zoutpansberg. He visited the area on at least two occasions and he was very involved in processes to try and diffuse the animosity between the settlers at Schoemansdal and the Vha-venda. In last week’s arti-cle we took a closer look at these visits and the battles between, among others, Chief Madzhie and the Boer forces. The ZAR president was, however, also accused of taking part in the dubious “inboek-stelsel”, often described as another form of child slavery. This week we look at the impact that this prac-tice had on the region and fi nd out whether some 4 000 Venda, Matebele, Betchuana and Swazi children were really sold as slaves.

Continued from p12.Initially the price for an “inboeksel” certifi -

cate was one rijksdaaler, the price of one-third of a sheep. The price was later increased to 35 rijksdaalers, the price of an ox. The certifi cate was sold together with the child slave. This made the trading in child slaves within the Transvaal border quite legal. The trading price to outsi ders beyond the border was between 130 and 200 rijksdaalers (six oxen).

A person who has done a lot of research in the past few decades on the subject of child slaves is Dr JC van der Walt. He is the author of several history books, such as Child Slavery in South Africa 1837 – 1877. He writes:

“The documents that survived in the archives record the kidnapping of thousands of children in the district of Zoutpansberg during several wars and raids against the VhaVenda and the amaNde-bele as well as the BaKwena people in the distant Bechuanaland.

Some of the kidnapped children were as young as four months old. The Boers targeted very young children because the babies would soon adapt to their new environment, forget their parents and would not abscond. Tribal chiefs also donated children.

The apprenticed children were valuable and the Boers treated them well. The older children that learned to speak Dutch or Afrikaans were affec-tionately called ‘Oorlams.’ However, thousands of children were ‘exported’, sometimes in an inhumane manner.

The Boers hired black hunters on foot to hunt elephants for them in the malaria and tsetse fl y areas. The hunters returned with ivory as well as with ‘zwart ivoor’ or ‘black ivory’ - the euphe-mism for kidnapped children.”

The trading in slaves was offi cially abolished by the British Government in 1834 and the slaves were “emancipated”. When the Zuid-Afrikaan-sche Republic became independent in 1852, the anti-slavery clause formed part of the Sand River Convention. This historic convention was signed on 17 January 1852 by MW Pretorius’s father, Commandant-General Andries Pretorius and others, on behalf of the new country.

Old habits, however, die hard and especially in the Zoutpansberg the demand for slaves created a profi table market and the practice continued. In terms of article four of the Sand River Con-vention, slavery in the ZAR was a very serious offence. However, the Boers did not regard the apprenticeship “inboekstelling” of thousands of “orphan” children as slavery. It was regarded as “charity.”

“In August 1852 Commandant-General MW Pretorius, Commandant PE Scholtz, and Field-Cornet Paul Kruger with 300 sharp shoot-ers, kidnapped 200 children from chief Sechele in the remote area of Bechuanaland and they took the children to Rustenburg, 400 kilometres away. Sechele had done them no harm. Chief Sechele walked 1 600 kilometres from Bechuanaland to

Cape Town to plead with the British Government to get his two sons back. Commandant PE Scholtz later returned his two sons to their tearful mother,” writes Van der Walt.

Van der Walt probably bases this story on the writings of the Scottish mis-sionary and explorer, David Livingstone. Livingstone’s home was ransacked during this attack and the Boers accused him of supplying weapons to the Batswana. Livingstone’s version was vehemently denied by Kruger and others.

The ZAR government gradually started bowing to international pressure, especially from the British empire. In a letter dated 12 January 1857, President MW Pretorius writes to the ZAR’s deputy president, Stephanus Schoeman, urging him to curb the practice of dealing in young slaves. He warns him that “if we want to retain our independence” the ZAR needs to control the traffi c of young black children.

Whether Schoeman heeded this call is doubt-ful. A year later, Rev PDM Huet of the Gere-formeerde Kerk (Reformed Church) visited the town of Schoemansdal. In his book “Het lot der Zwarten in Transvaal” he tells how children were being captured in the Zoutpansberg. He describes the brutality of the wars between na-tive tribes and writes: “Maar het is voor mij meer dan waarschijnli-jk, dat niet zelden zulke onderlingen … oorlo-gen plaats grijpen met geen ander doel dan om de kinderen tot buit te maken, ten einde ze te kunnen verkoopen.” (I am convinced that often such native wars occur with no other reason than to capture children and sell them.)

In a letter dated 6 January 1862, the husband of Deborah Retief (daughter of the Voortrekker leader Piet Retief), writes to Stephanus Schoeman: “As u in Zoutpansberg kom, koop vir my vrou ‘n kleyn myt. Moet nie meer as sewe pond (twee beeste) betaal nie want hulle is so volop soos vlieë.” (If you arrive in Zoutpansberg, buy ‘n young black girl for my wife. Don’t pay more than seven pounds, because they are as common as fl ies.)

President MW Pretorius also booked in “swart ivoor” and he received children as “gifts” from tribal leaders. The amaSwati donated many kid-

napped children as political gifts to the Boers. On 12 May 1865 the Landdrost of Lydenburg entered the following in his daily journal: “I, the under-signed, declare hereby that … chief Umzwaas has sent three … orphaned children for the Honour-able President MW Pretorius, his ally.” The girls were estimated to be ten years old and the boy eight, these orphans being named Lea, Sara and Jaantje.

“He gave in return two white blankets.”It is often diffi cult to distinguish between who

were considered to be “refugees” and what was outright slavery. There was the reality of having to deal with orphans and displaced people, es-pecially in a time of turmoil. From what could be established, the children were mostly treated well by the families they were placed at. Still, they had very few rights and had to stay with the family until the age of 21 (and often longer). There were many reports of abuses and it is also clear that the practice of “selling” people was severely criticized by leaders of the predominant churches.

It did, however, continue until the 1870s.In the winter of 1865, the Reverend Charles

Murray, an inspector of the Dutch Reformed Church, came across the wagon of a certain Gert Duvenhage in Makapanspoort. Murray wrote:

“Duvenhage had a strange cargo that he was going to trade. In the back of the wagon I saw eight small African children packed tightly together, in the same manner that I, as a child, was wont to observe in drawings of slave ships.” It quickly became clear to Murray that he was

dealing with a dealer in “black ivory” and that the children were exposed to severe abuse.

Duvenhage was willing to trade the children for six head of cattle.

“When the man spoke to me about the journey, I became extremely angry and told him that his trad-ing practice was one of the reasons why the Lord held back his blessing on the land; it was enough to bring a curse on the Repub-lic,” wrote Murray.

During October 1867, three months after the Vhavenda had torched Schoe-mansdal, Stephanus Schoeman and his 43 volunteers from the Pretoria Rifl e Corps, plus 241 black allies under chief August

Zebediela, attacked the female chief Modjadji to extract tribute from her by force.

The Volunteer Commando killed 16 adults and they captured 74 children. They later returned 19 children, aged three years and younger, to their mothers. All in all, 55 children were distributed among the volunteers from Pretoria.

The offences were brought to the attention of

the ZAR in many cases and court cases and hear-ings followed. In one such case, the ZAR High Court charged FH Geyser, SM Venter and Joao Albasini with “illegal actions and child stealing”. They were later discharged on a technicality.

Albasini may have continued with this trade for quite some time. On 17 July 1870, Dr BG Arnol-di, a medical doctor from Pretoria, complained in a letter to Joao Albasini that two of his appren-ticed girls, Kaatje and Dammio, had found their way back to Zoutpansberg. Dr Arnoldi demanded four heifers as compensation for the loss of the two little girls.

Perhaps the true extent of what had happened is best described by one of the victims, a girl simply known as Adela, who had been captured in the Zoutpansberg in 1865. In an affi davit she described her ordeal:

“The country in which we lived before our people were scattered by the Dutch

is near Zoutpansberg. I remember when I was taken, although very young at the time. There were others taken besides myself, some older, some younger.

The Dutch surrounded our kraal while it was yet day, and set fi re to the huts. The noise of the fi re awoke us, and we ran out just as we were. The grown-up people who attempted to run out of the kraal were shot down, and the rest huddled together, surrounded by the Dutch on horseback.

The children were then put together in one place, while the rest were made to go into the cattle kraal, which was built of stone, and were there shot at, till they fell down dead and dying. The Dutch then took us to their wagons, and we were divided amongst them.

I fell to the lot of Mr van Zweel. My master often lived in town, and while there I used to see children brought down from Zoutpansberg and sold for money or cattle. They did not use to hawk children about in the same way when I was taken: this practice has taken place since, but one would sell to another, as occasion required.

When I was about fourteen years of age my master sold me to a Natal … wagon-driver for thirty pounds. I came down here with him, and have lived with him ever since. He was at that time, and still is, wagon-driver to Messrs Barrett of this city.”

And so, after a very long detour, the story re-turns to the protagonist, President MW Pretorius, who clearly lived in a time of turmoil and change. It was a time of exploration and a time where value systems changed. He was born in a period where slave trading was part of the economy, but he died when the last traces of it started disap-pearing from the continent. He compiled the ZAR’s constitution, which, among others, states in Art 10: “Het volk wil geen slavenhandel, noch slavernij in deze Republiek dulden.” (The nation will not tolerate any slave trading or slavery in the Republic.)

Interestingly enough, the same constitution also guaranteed press freedom.Sources:* Boeyens, J.C.A. Die konfl ik tussen die Venda

Municipal News

During the previous financial years, excellent work had been done in areas such as provision of water, sanitation, refuse removal, housing and electricity, said the mayor of Musina, Cllr Mihloti Muhlope, when she delivered her State-of-the-Municipality Address (budget speech) at the New Nancefield Community Hall last Friday.

“The fact the some of the 1 000 houses that have been allocated to us by the provincial government have been completed, clearly demonstrates that we are serious about service delivery. We have forwarded all documentation to the Department of Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, whereafter the qualifying beneficiaries will be contacted for housing alloca-tion,” she said.

According to Muhlope, 2 634 indigent house-holds in the urban areas of Musina receive free basic water from the municipality, while 4 692 households from the villages also benefit from free water provision. “While a few settlements in the country are still struggling to eradicate the bucket system, it gives me pleasure to proudly announce that we don’t have a bucket system in Musina.”

She said the construction of the R320 million Musina Mall and the establishment of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) was to make prospective investors aware of the fact that there was potential for economic growth in Musina. “The initiative will transform our town into a top investment destina-

tion that will attract businesses and foreign direct investment while, at the same time, accelerating industrial development and realizing the country’s industrial action plan and the new growth path. As a logistic hub, the SEZ will create thousands of job opportunities to our people while unlocking many opportunities that were non-existent before.”

According to her, the municipality has complet-ed several projects, which include the Nancefield community high-mast lighting at a cost of R1,5 million. “We have also renovated the community hall in Nancefield Ext 1 at a cost of R2,5 million. Madimbo extension of Thusong Service centre was undertaken at a cost of R1,2 million rand. We also constructed the Nancefield gymnasium at a cost of R2,3 million. Tar roads worth R7,1 million were also constructed in Musina Nancefield. A new traffic client centre, costing us R6,3 million, is 90% complete.” She added that during the next financial year, property rates will increase by 6,5%. “Electricity charges will increase by 7,8%, while refuse removal and other services will increase by 6,5%.” In terms of the municipality’s new plans, she announced that they will construct a grandstand at Skoonplaas Stadium, upgrade the electricity capacity in Musina, construct multi-purpose and community walk-in centres, convert all residential conventional electricity meters to pre-paid and con-struct paved roads, speed humps and a storm-water drainage system. She also thanked De Beers Ve-netia Mine and Vele Colliery for implementing social projects aimed at improving the lives of the people of Musina.

Dit wil gedoen wees om weereens onder die top 10 te eindig,” het die skool gesê. Foto verskaf.

By Kaizer Nengovhela

A Musina Secondary School teacher, Mr Theodore Mao-ka, a former Pan Africanist Con gress (PAC) councillor in the Musina Municipality, Mr Eugene Khosa, and an immi-gration officer, Mr Edward Tshivhase, appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court a fortnight ago on charges of corruption and defeating the ends of justice. They were given bail, but with strict conditions being set.

The three were arrested, along with 12 other suspects, on 26 May by the Directorate for Pri-ority Crime Investigation. Eleven of the suspects were released on R3 000 bail when they appeared in court on 27 May.

A suspected illegal immigrant, Philip Molea, was denied bail. Molea is suspected of being an illegal immigrant who uses false names. He was denied bail, pending the verification of his citizenship.

It is alleged that Maoka re-

ceived R2 000 for attaching temporary resident permits to passports and also applying entry and departure stamps on 21 pass-ports without any documentation supporting the foreign nationals’ stay in the country.

Khoza, who owns a clearing agency at Beit Bridge and has a pending corruption charge against him, is accused of ac-cepting R7 200 for issuing false

immigration stamps to foreign nationals.

As part of their bail conditions, all the suspects were barred from attending their work places at the border post. They will appear in court again between 27 June and 4 July for trial.

Die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

Jesaja 2:12-17:Die Here alleen moet verheerlik word.

Ons is bewus daarvan dat ons harte bedrieglik is (Jeremia 17:9) en ons moet

gedurig veg teen hoogmoed.

1. God se houding in verband met hoog-moed:

Die Here is teen menslike hoogmoed en sal dit uiteindelik vernietig. Die Here sal ‘n dag van afrekening hê teen almal wat hoogmoedig is en God daardeur verlaag. Die hoogmoedige mens sal verneder word en die Here alleen sal daardie dag verhoog word. Lees Jes.2:12-17.

2. Die karakter van hoogmoed:

Een deel van hoogmoed is om eer vir jou-self toe te eien vir wat God doen. Die Here het gesê Hy sal die koning van Assirië straf vir sy hoogmoed (Jes.10:12-15).

3. Die genesing van hoogmoed:

Besef dat wat jy is en wat jy besit is blote genade van God (1Kor.4:7).

Vertrou God om jou op Sy tyd te verhoog (1Petrus 5:6).

Onthou altyd dat die ware en volle open-baring van God net gegee word aan hulle wat nederig is (Matt. 11:25). Besef ook om die koninkryk van God in te gaan het te doen met nederigheid (Matt.18:3-4).

Daarom, laat niemand van ons hoogmoedig wees nie. Lees 1 Kor.3:21-23.

Bid dat hierdie ‘n jaar van nederigheid sal wees terwyl ons die grootheid van God aanskou en dit bewonder.

Daisy is ‘n katmens. Sy was nog altyd ‘n katmens en sal altyd ‘n katmens wees ... En katt e vra nie dat an-der mense agter hulle moet skoonmaak nie. Hulle vra net liefde, iets waarvan Daisy baie het. Maar soms vra die situasie vir meer as net liefde gee ...

se sonskynkind leer haar van omgee

“Dis nie fair nie, Bernard,” sê Daisy opstandig. Haar stem

is dik en sy hoes rou.Maar Bernard is onsimpatiek. “Jy

weet wat die ooreenkoms is, Daise. Dis nou weer jou beurt.”

“Jy is ‘n chauvinis. As jy jou sin kon kry, was ek al lankal swanger en kaalvoet in die kombuis,” kap Daisy blindelings.

Bernard lag kliphard. “Maar nou is jy net af en toe kaal in die kom-buis, my mooiste. Maar miskien gee dit een of ander tyd aanleiding tot die ‘swanger’ gedeelte ... Sodra jy die ouerskap vakleerlingtoets geslaag het.” Hy skud soos hy lag vir sy eie grappie.

“Het jy geen simpatie vir iemand wat besig is om Avbob se trappe op te kruip met longontsteking nie?” probeer Daisy weer.

“Dis net verkoue, Daisy. Ek vermoed jy verwys eerder na die snotterige trappe van Baby Soft en nie Avbob nie. Toe, hier is jou pantoffels en warm kamerjas. Die

plassie is net agter die kombuistoonbank.”

Daisy het nie verdere kommentaar nie. Dis waar – sy het ‘n ooreenkoms met Bernard aangegaan

oor Sunshine. Maar toe sy daai gevreetjie sien en haar teen haar nek koester, sou sy enigiets belowe het! Sy moes geweet het daar is ‘n vangplek iewers...

Volgens Daisy is die wêreld net in twee kategorieë verdeel – katliefhebbers en dan die res wat van honde hou. Nooit het sy vir ‘n oomblik getwyfel in watter kategorie sy val nie. Van kleins af het Daisy meer gemaklik gevoel saam met katte. “Hulle het wysheid en magiese insigte en weet sekere dinge in die lewe intuïtief,” het sy verkondig aan almal wat gewonder het wat sy aan katte het. “Katte is nie sulke wimps soos honde nie,” het Daisy gereeld vir Ousus gepreek. “Kyk nou net na al jou skoothonde wat saam met jou op die bed slaap. Hulle verbeel hulle hulle is mense. Sal nie eers self besluit om te gaan piepie as jy hulle nie buitekant toe vat nie! Katte het meer dignity en onafhanklikheid.”

Ousus stry nooit vreeslik nie. “Miskien sal jy beter verstaan as jy eers babas gehad het, Daisy. Wag maar. Ons praat weer. Broeisgeit kom soos ‘n dief in die nag.”

En alles sou steeds veilig volgens Daisy se Wet oor Katte en Honde gewerk het as dit nie vir ‘n laat-nagfl iek was wat sy en Bernard so maand gelede gekyk het nie. Die hoofkarakter van die tranetrekker was ‘n Golden Retriever. Daisy was verlore, al was haar voete stewig onder ‘n Siamese pelslyfi e vasgewikkel.

Eers kon Bernard nie mooi verstaan wat gebeur het nie. “Maar hier is ‘n hele hoop honde op die plaas, Daise? Grotes en kleintjies, party wat vreemdelinge byt, ander wat slange jag. Vir wat wil jy nog ‘n hond hier aanbring? Jy het mos jou katte – hier in die huis en daar by die skuur. Arnoldus mag tot by ons op die bed slaap...”

Teen daardie tyd was Daisy klaar aan die soek in die Landbouweek-blad vir ‘n teler van Golden Re-trievers. Binne minute gryp Daisy na haar foon en begin ‘n boodskap stuur.

“Jy kan nie die mense in die mid-

del van die nag pla nie, Daisy. En in elk geval moet ons oor hierdie ding gesels. Jy kan nie alleen die besluit neem nie!” het Bernard probeer walgooi.

“Die teksboodskap is net om ‘n dogtertjie te reserveer tot ek self met hulle kan praat more. Dis juis bedagsaam dat ek hulle nie wakker bel nie, maar ek dink jy moet jou vere regskud om more Vanderbijl-park toe te vlieg, ou Barries. Okei, pappie. Praat, ek luister.” Daar is fi -naliteit in Daisy se stem. Sy trek die knip uit haar hare en vee al die los hare bymekaar in ‘n nuwe slordige kwaaijuffrou-bolla.

Soos enige ander volbloedman is Bernard nie noodwendig ingestel om sy diepste begeertes en gevoel-ens te deel nie. Hy het vroeg-vroeg in sy verhouding met Daisy vir haar van sy teorie van ‘cave’ en ‘klets’ vertel. Mans gaan in hulle grotte in totdat hulle wêreld weer sin maak; vrouens gaan klets dit uit met vriendinne tot hulle heelal ophou kantel.

En tot nou toe was als klopdissel-boom. So, hoe in die wêreld deel hy met Daisy sy innigste begeerte om ‘n kind te hê?

Herby Lees, the cyclists from Pretoria who was seriously injured during the Kremetart Cycle Race, is well on his way to a full recovery.

Herby was competing in the mixed-tandem cat-egory of the race a fortnight ago, when he crashed into a stationary vehicle next to the road at the start of the fourth stage at Schoemansdal. The vehicle was an official race-support vehicle that was parked about 300m from the turn-off (facing towards Louis Trichardt) on the right-hand side of the road.

Herby hit the trailer with such force that a piece of angle iron on the back of the trailer al-most completely cut off his right arm beneath the

shoulder. Apart from his badly cut and broken arm, Herby’s also sustained several fractured ribs, which punctured his lungs, and a deep laceration on his right knee.

Herby was airlifted to Union Hospital in Alber-ton, where he underwent a series of operations to fix his arm.

Madelein Hoffman, Herby’s girlfriend, spoke to the Zoutpansberger this week and confirmed that he was back at home. He returned to the hospital on Tuesday, where the staples in his wounds were removed, so that he could start with physical thera-py on Thursday. “He is doing really well, and with the therapy he will probably regain the use of his hand and arm,” said Madelein.

The Eastrand Cyclist club paid a special visit to Herby Lees to wish him a speedy recovery. Photo: Facebook.
