The rehabilitation of orchards is already in process from Georges Valley to Mooketsi, aft er the Tzaneen area was hit by the most devastating hailstorm in many years last Thursday night.

Entire avo crops were lost by some farmers, while severe damage was done on mega farms like Westfalia in Politsi and ZZ2 in Mooketsi. An estimated 1,2 million car-tons or more are lost for the avo export market. The crop damage on at least sixteen farms is 100%, as the remain-ing fruit are not suitable due to bruises caused by the hail.

Mr Derek Donkin, chairman of the SA Avo Growers Association (SAAGA) and CEO of Subtrop in Tzaneen, said it was the fi ercest hailstorm to hit the area in twenty years. Apart from the estimated R40 million in export losses, the damage to orchards will also have an adverse eff ect of millions on yields and revenue for the next three years.

It all started on the farm Letaba Drift of Mr Paul Wilt-shire in Georges Valley at around 20:00 in the evening, destroying his entire crop and causing huge damage to well established orchards. From there it moved towards Politsi, Haenertsburg, Houtboschdorp and Mooketsi.

Farmers said the hailstones were somewhat smaller than golf balls, but had a rough sur-face. Driven by a strong wind, this led to severe

damage on tree trunks and branches. In the Politsi area macadamia growers were hard hit by the storm, as many of the im-

mature nuts were felled to the ground and orchards damaged.

Mr Andries Bester of Subtrop co-ordinat-ed a meeting with all aff ected stakeholders on Monday, to discuss rehabilitation plans and revised fertilizer and irrigation pro-grammes to reduce input costs drastically. Farmers were also advised to heavy pru-

ning of damaged trees and the timeous treat-ment of scars against pests and diseases.

Mr Bram Snĳ der, pro-duction manager of Afrupro who att ended

the meeting, said the hailstorm will have a signifi cant eff ect on the estimated 14 million cartons of avo’s for ex-port this year. It will also have a drastic eff ect on the price of avo’s at the local markets. “The harvest season is about to start within a week or two, but for some there will be no crop this year,” Snĳ der said. • More photos on p 2

Avo exports severely a� ectedHail hits hard

Members of the Tzaneen avo study group gathered on Monday on the farm of Mr Paul Wiltshire in Georges Valley, to discuss

rehabilitation plans after the destruction caused by the fi ercest hailstorm in many years. Subtrop facilitated the meeting.

White PVA paint is applied to the stems of pruned avo trees to protect it against sunburn and infesting bacteria. The owners of Letaba Drift lost their whole avo crop in last week’s hailstorm. Their paint bill amounts to R150 000.

An 82-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted by a nurse in the Letaba Hospital last week, whilst she was be-ing treated. Ms Mthavini Rikhotso is said not to remem-ber the name or looks of the nurse that she claims to have assaulted her.

Staff members who were on duty on the day of the al-leged assault deny that they witnessed anything. Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, Tzaneen SAPS Cluster spokesperson, confi rmed that a case of assault was opened against the nurses. He said police are busy investigating the allega-tions and nobody has been charged in connection with

the alleged incident. The granddaughter of Mthavini claims that she has a

witness who can vouch that the victim was assaultedThe MEC of the Department of Health in Limpopo said

they were also busy conducting investigations as to what exactly happened, and asked anyone with information regarding the alleged incident to pass it on to the depart-ment or the SAPS.

The department’s spokesperson was not available for comment yesterday.

Farmers need to be resilient and focus on the future by implementing sur-vival strategies to deal with disasters, such as the drought, says Mr Dawie Maree, head of information and mar-keting at FNB Business Agriculture.

He says the current drought, being es-calated by a strong El Nino and global warming, has had the biggest impact on the income and survival of farmers since 1992. It has also had far reaching consequences for the greater SA econo-my as it impacts on food prices, infl a-tion and even employment.

“For small-holder and subsistence

farmers, it is now survival of the fi tt est.”Maree suggested essential tips to

overcome the impact of the drought and added that it has become im-perative to adopt modern farming techniques and strategies in order to grow revenue.

He mentioned drought and cash fl ow management and irrigation as important strategies to be considered. Diversifi cation of crops and livestock is also important. If a planting season is missed, the farmer should identify other means of generating income.

Planting fi elds that have been af-

fected by the drought, may require a much diff erent application of fertilizer, while using seeds more resistant to the drought will provide a bett er yield.

Maree said a well managed farm sys-tem should also include the gathering of up-to-date information for business decisions in periods of disaster, while soil testing is highly recommended as it changes following a drought.

“The farming industry in SA has been through several hurdles and survived. There is no doubt that it will continue to thrive, even beyond the current drought,” Maree said.

Survival of the fittest for small farmers

Mob kills suspected house

breakerThe Police in Maake are still trac-

ing a group of suspects who killed a 26-year-old man suspected of

housebreaking at Tickyline, Lenyenye. The incident took place on Tuesday at about 02:30. It is alleged the deceased and his friend entered a certain house through the window and att acked an elderly woman. According to police spokesman Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe the deceased was identifi ed as Modibe Rakgoale from Madeira village in the Sekororo area. “They demanded money and the victim then screamed for help. A big number of commu-nity members arrived at the scene, caught the deceased and assaulted him. He died and his accomplish disappeared,” Ngoepe said. No arrests have been made and police were con-tinuing with investigations.

National Police day celebratedA huge convoy of police vehicles with blue lights and sirens drove through the streets of Polokwane to Peter Mokaba stadium where National Police Day celebrations were be-ing held. The day is celebrated nationally.

The celebrations included showcasing Police crime fi ghting skills. Police were also discuss-ing the challenges of dealing with post trau-matic stress. Limpopo premier Chupu Math-abatha said at the celebrations: “I want to say today that a society that does not respect its police men and women does not deserve its own safety and security. If these rampant po-lice killings continue to be accepted as nor-mal, so will be our own insecurity”.“Your leaders have correctly said that you must never die with your weapons in hand. You simply cannot and must never be seen running away from criminals,” said Math-abatha.

One way to add enjoyment and purpose to your bird watching is to get involved in bird atlassing. You could even embrace the wonders of modern technology and try out one of the dedicated birding apps! The Tzaneen Eco Club is excited to be hosting a work-shop by Henk Nel, an avid birder with a keen interest in technology, and developer of the free BirdLasser app. This app is a fun and easy way to record your bird sightings and contribute to conservation.

Ons boere, ons helde‘n Week gelede het nog ‘n verwoestende haelstorm verplett erende skade in ons gebied veroorsaak. Om die nuus aan te vul, wou ons foto’s neem en die terug-slag vir ons boere deur foto’s nog meer volledig illustreer. Maar toe gebeur ‘n wonderlike ding.

Die boere wat ons een na die ander op hul plase besoek het, het ewe een na die ander geweier om op enige foto’s te ver-skyn — eenparig met hul verduideliking dat hulle nie as simpatiesoekers gesien wil word nie.

“Ons wil nie hê mense moet dink ons wil jammer gekry word nie. Ons gaan voluit werk om ons bates, byna uitsluit-lik vrugtebome, te versorg en om so gou as moontlik in produksie te kom,” het hulle soos een man vir ons gevra om hul versoek te respekteer — wat ons uiter-aard gedoen het.

Ons boere (so te sê landwyd) gaan deur ‘n bitt er moeilike tyd, want die droogte byt steeds seer. Waar boere wel kon saai of plant, sal opvolgreën nodig wees om later te kan oes. Niemand kan sê of en wanneer deurdringende reën verwag kan word nie en die spanning is dus nog nie verlig nie.

Maar ons boere bly moedig en daarom sê ons vandag hulle is nie net ons boere wat sorg dat ons kos op ons tafels het nie, hulle is ook ons helde.

Kom ons waardeer hulle.

Hy pleit vir onsGedurende die Amerikaanse Bur-geroorlog het ’n jong soldaat aan die slaap geraak, ter wyl hy moes wag staan. Hy is gevonnis om voor ’n vuurpeloton te sterf. ’n Afvaardiging het by president Abraham Lincoln vir die jongman se lewe gaan pleit.

Hy was ’n goeie en ge wilde lid van sy gemeenskap, die liefl ingseun van sy ouers . Die president het egter besluit dat hy die dissipline in die leër nie kan verslap nie en dat die vonnis en teregstelling moes voortgaan, soos die wet bepaal. Die mense wat by die president gepleit het, het hartgebroke van die pre si dent weggegaan.

President Lincoln se seuntjie, Tad Lin coln, het on opsig-telik in ’n hoek van die ka mer gesit en speel, waar die pre-sident die afvaardiging gesien het. Toe sluip hy nader, gee ’n plukkie aan sy pa se mou en sê:

“Asseblief pappa, moenie dat hulle daardie ar me man dood skiet nie.”

Lincoln, wat steeds diep ontroer was deur die af vaar-diging se pleidooi vir die jongman se lewe, kon sy seuntjie se smeking nie weier nie. Hy het die vonnis herroep.

Wat hierdie seuntjie gedoen het, beskryf die Bybel, is wat Jesus Christus vir ons ook doen. Jesus het soveel omgee en liefde in sy hart, dat Hy gedurig en voortdurend vir ons intree by sy Vader.

“Christus Jesus het vir ons gesterf… Hy is uit die dood op-gewek, Hy sit aan die regterhand van God, Hy pleit vir ons.” (Romeine 8:33). Op ‘n ander plek staan daar:

“Aan die ander kant het ‘n beter hoop in getree… Hy lewe vir altyd om vir ons by God in te tree.” (Hebreërs 7:19,25).

’n Groot ge rus stel ling vir ons in ons stryd teen ons son-digheid.

By Don Pinnock It is almost impossible to know how leopards are faring in South Africa. They are secretive animals that are mainly nocturnal, solitary, and range over huge areas. Counting them requires intensive research using expensive technology such as camera traps, which can only be de-ployed over small areas, far smaller than the areas in which hunting quotas are determined.

Hunting them will speed up their extinction.The Department of Environmental Aff airs

has set to zero all hunting permits for leop-ards in South Africa – which is, eff ectively, a total ban on hunting the cats. This follows an alert by its Scientifi c Authority that the number of leopards in the country was un-known, and that trophy hunting posed a high risk to the survival of the species. The DEA ban, sent to all provincial authorities, cancels all leopard export permits for 2016.

Under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), South Africa is permit-ted to allocate 150 leopard trophy export permits a year. Early warning of possible permit curtailment appeared in the Govern-ment Gazett e late last year indicating that if guidelines were not adhered to, provincial quotas would be set to zero. At the time the DEA issued what it described, rather cryptically, as a “negative non-detrimental fi nding”, meaning that hunting was likely to have a damaging eff ect on the species.

It listed threats to leopards as excessive legal and illegal shooting of “damage-caus-ing animals,” poorly managed trophy hunt-

ing, illegal trade in leopard skins for cultur-al and religious att ire and generally poor monitoring of hunts and permit allocation.

The Research Authority found that leop-ards:

Had a low reproductive rate; Their distribution was fragmented; Their abundance and popula-tion trend was uncertain; Illegal off -take was uncertain; There was litt le control of harvesting (especially illegal harvesting) which was high; Confi dence in harvest management and mon-itoring was low; Incentives for conservation in the country were low; Only between 5% and 15% of leopard habitat was strictly protected.

Commenting on the Gazett e notice at the time, Guy Balme of the environmental NGO Panthera said: “We just don’t know how leopards are faring in South Africa. They’re secretive, mainly nocturnal, soli-tary and range over huge areas. Counting them requires intensive research using ex-pensive technology such as camera traps, which can only be deployed over small are-as, far smaller than the areas in which hunt-ing quotas are determined.

“It seems prudent that hunting should only continue once the appropriate meas-ures are in place. Only then can we be con-fi dent that the practice is sustainable and not putt ing additional pressure on leopard populations already under a great deal of strain from other threats.”

The trophy ban is in place throughout this year. According to the DEA statement, the Scientifi c Authority will then review the situation. It will also develop norms and

standards for the management and mon-itoring of leopard hunting throughout the country.

Kelly Marnewick, the Environmental Wildlife Trust’s carnivore conservation manager, supported the ban. “It is impor-tant to ensure that any wildlife trade we do is sustainable,” she said. “If we cannot do that, it’s highly problematical. We need a trade ban until we can get to that.

“Record keeping on trophy hunting in this country is shocking. We haven’t been recording age, sex or size of trophies. If our hunting fraternity is serious about using wildlife sustainably they will embrace this ban and fi nd ways to work with govern-ment until trade is sustainable.”

Helen Turnbull of the Cape Leopard Trust also supported the move. She said the trust was pleased to see that common sense has prevailed, and that the government would maintain the ban until provinces had got their acts together.

Andrew Muir of the Wilderness Founda-tion said the ban was good news, but noted that it was an interim measure while norms and standards were being put in place.

“We cannot stress enough the need for high quality research on the population numbers, make-up and distribution of leopards, especially in core conservation areas,” he said.

“Leopards are charismatic and an apex species. Until we know population num-bers and carrying capacity we should not hunt them.”

An oasis turns into a desert

The initial fl urry of excitement about the revival of the Oasis Entertainment Centre, known as the Oasis Mall in Aqua Drive, Tzaneen, is now limp-ing along with businessman owner Mr Cor Vos from Lephalale having closed down the Rose and Dragon on 31 January — and most of the other businesses have or are looking for premises elsewhere.

Anchor tenant Es-kom occupies the entire second fl oor. Inebriated pub cus-tomers were said to be vandalizing their offi ce vehicles in the parking lot at night. Eskom stated that it would not renegoti-ate its lease if the Rose and Dragon was not closed down.

Hairdresser Mr Corné Botha said that the owner visited the Mall and said that the bingo hall plus casino and restaurant, is on the cards for this year. Renovations will start as soon as the gambling licence is issued. Botha is staying put and has now spent about R40 000 on furniture, basins, equipment, a coff ee niche and a new

desktop. He says that the general complaint of “no feet” doesn’t bother him as he has a huge client base. He has parking right outside his salon so it’s a convenient spot for his business.

On Botha’s side of the Mall is the Dragon Restaurant, Aqua Deli and fi nancial adviser George Lourens. On the other side is Frozen Spoon

and Large Security Sup-plies. The entire core of the Mall is empty. The bott le store and video shop closed their doors, silversmith Joli Miao and clothing boutique La Dee Da moved to Boundary Street and the Orange Tree furni-ture moved to the Fab-ric Magic building.

Eskom installed a lift a few years ago. According to occupants of the building the contract stated that the owner of the building was responsi-ble for lift maintenance — but the lift has been out of order for three years.

The Rose and Dragon allegedly allowed weekend parties that spilt out into the parking lot and continued loudly until the early

hours of the mornings. Members of the community in the close proximity of the mall, also expressed particular concern, as they believed that drug deals were being concluded in the area. Late last year some of the business owners called the Tzaneen Police, the security company in charge of the Mall, the centre manager and the municipal traffi c department to sort out the drunken revelry. The business owners claim that the authorities did nothing...

“The toilets were in a state, the smell of urine was on the walls of the build-ing, litt er and vomit aft er some of the drunken parties were all over and the security guard was found sleep-ing behind the locked toilet door. He wrote false entries into the log book stating that all was well at 22:00, but all was not well at 22:00 and he was not on duty, but suspected to have partied with the revelers”, some of the business owners alleged.

The big question now is: Will the Mall be able to shake off its dismal record as a non-functional centre and will new plans come to fruition?

Footsteps echo in the empty Centre.

After most weekend revelry the parking area and inside of the Mall was cov-ered in litter, urine, empty beer cans, broken liquor bottles and even vomit.

Dié erg oorlaaide ligte afleweringsvoertuig en sleepwa uit Zimbabwe het in Tzaneen se middedorp gestop, sodat herstelwerk aan die voertuig gedoen kon word. Die vraag op ver-antwoordelike motor-iste/burgers se lippe is hoe dit moontlik is dat die voertuig van die grens by Beitbrug tot in Tzaneen kon ry, sonder dat verkeers- lui dit voorgekeer en belet het om verder te ry. Dele van die voertuig se agterste modderskerm is selfs uitgesny (uitgesaag), sodat die wiele nie

teen die bakwerk kon skuur nie. Benewens die bestuurder was daar ook nog twee pas-sasiers voor in die kajuit. Die sleepwa was ook erg oorlaai.

People fl ocked to the Berry FestivalThe Berry Trail Run, held at Blue-berry Heights, Haenertsburg, was the highlight of the Magoebaskloof Berry Festival. Many say it’s one of the most beautiful trails in the country. It had rained the previous night so the track was quite mud-dy. Runners said that once they got to the top of the initial formida-bly steep incline, the track winds alongside water or in between the forests surrounding the village of Haenertsburg.

The results of the 9 km race for men

was Cou Pienaar (fi rst), Kuno Ven-ter (second), Daniel Danes (third). The results of the 9 km ladies’ race was Andri Prinsloo (1), Julie Cor-nelius (2), Karin Armstrong (3). The results of the 5 km race for men was Adrian Moore (1), Juan Winter (2), Phillip Donovan (3). The results of the 5 km for ladies was Reece Bain (1), Riandi Venter (2) Thea-Mari Venter (3). The results of the 5 km boys was Jack Stewart (1), Tyler Rance (2), Kyle Allison (3).

Various berry dishes and drinks

were available at all the village restaurants. The open market out-side the Haenertsburg Post Offi ce sold fresh punnets of blueberries, raspberries and gooseberries. In be-tween were stalls serving craft beer, hot food and handicraft s.

Most notable was the wire and bead artist from Pilgrim’s Rest, Mpumalanga. Live music was by Steven Howells from the Space Ka-dets.

Motorists who travel on the main road be-tween Eiland (from either Tarentaalrand or Letsitele) and Giyani should take care at Ma-geva village, where six pupils of the Charlie Rhangani’s Primary School set up a scholar patrol in the mornings and again in the aft er-noons aft er school.

The six dedicated volunteers assist fellow

pupils to safely cross the road. The road in the area is infamous for accidents and a num-ber of pedestrians have been knocked over in the area in recent years.

The patrol members record the names of pupils who don’t co-operate and refuse to use the crossing where the safety patrol is being set up daily. They also take the registration

numbers of vehicles

of drivers who refuse to obey the patrol and don’t stop at the crossing. These motorists will be prosecuted, since the patrol is offi cial. .

“My duty is to jot down the names of the learners who are crossing the road on their own and the number plates of the cars which refuse to stop,” said Tshepo Tilako, a senior patrol member. According to Arrive Alive scholar patrol is

an important part of road safety education and essential to enhancing the safety of schol-ars at their schools. Not only does it regulate traffi c, improve speed calming and facilitate safe crossing of the road but also instils in the minds of young pedestrians an awareness of the importance of road safety.

The Safety Patrol Program was started in 1920. When pupils reached Grade 6, they can be screened for the proper character qualities and then trained in safety enforcement.

Gogo Somisa laid to rest… 125-year-old Ms Somisa Mahori from Xihoko Village outside Tzaneen was laid to rest on Saturday. The Limpopo granny was consid-ered to be the oldest person in the world. Her age never stopped her from having a happy and normal life with her family. “She was fortunate in that she was regularly invited to celebrate his birthday with the late Nelson Mandela. Madi-ba arranged for special transport for her to get to the venue,” Ms Mavis Mahori said. Mr Calvin Bvuma said, ”She once called a family meet-ing where she told the family that she wished God would take her, as she was tired of pain and suffering”. One of her grandsons, Mr T Ma-hori, said, “She was like a mother to me as I was

raised by her from childhood when my mother was sick”. Many people described gogo Mahori as a loving and caring person who held everyone in the family’s best interest at heart. She was said to have strived to ensure that each and everyone within the family gets a proper education. Seen here are her grandsons carrying her casket to the grave.

Andrea Devenish, die Hoër-skool Merensky se top gr 12-leerling van 2015, is uit-genooi na 2015 se provinsi-ale toptien presteerders se prysuitdelingseremonie in Polokwane.

Andrea was negende in die topdertig akademiese presteerders in Limpopo. Sy was ook die nommer een RTT (rekenaar toepassing-tegnologie)-leerling in Limpopo. Sy het nege onderskeidings ingepalm aan die

einde van haar gr 12-jaar.Andrea kon nie die

funksie bywoon nie, aangesien sy reeds besig is met haar studies in In-dustriële Ingenieurswese aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch.

Haar pa, mnr. Darryl Devenish, het dus na-mens haar ‘n sertifikaat en tjek van R10 000 van die Domba Trust en die departement van basiese

onderwys ontvang.

Die knellende droogte het ook die Hoërskool Ben Vorster erg geknyp. Mnr Mischak Mmoyane wat al meer as 24 jaar ‘n faktotum by die skool is, sê dis die eerste keer in 29 jaar dat die boorgat naby die seunskoshuis op-gedroog het. Geen besproeiing kon ge-doen word nie en dit het veroorsaak dat die sport-velde amper geheel en al verdroog het.

Te danke aan mnr Eu-gene Pohl, ‘n oud-leerling van Ben Vorster en dees-

dae van Styldrift Drilling, is daar weer hoop.

Pohl het op sy koste ‘n nuwe boorgat van 60 me-ter diep by die skool ge-boor.

Ongeag die feit dat dit ‘n duur en delikate proses is, het hy nie gehuiwer om die Vossies in hul nood te help nie.

Mnr Frans Kruger, wat vanaf Oktober 2015 die skool se sportvelde in stand hou, juig en glo die velde sal gou op die water reageer en een van die dae weer lowergroen.

Die Vossies het onlangs letterlik vir hul medemens ge-bloei. ‘n Rekord hoeveelheid eenhede bloed is geskenk.

Hoop vir waternood in Vossieland

‘n Groep leerlinge van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster is saam opgewonde oor die nuwe boorgat wat deur mnr. Eugene Pohl van Styldrift Drilling gesink is. ‘n Groot dank aan mnr. Pohl vir die goeie gebaar!

Die Hoërskool Merensky het op Don-derdag 26 Januarie die tradisionele Pla-sie-pretdraf en -vrugtefees aangebied.

‘n Ongeveer 3 km-draf vanaf Meren-sky tot by die aangrensende natuurre-sevaathek en terug, het die Plasie-mas-sa opgewarm vir ‘n heerlike vrugtefees by die skool.

Die nuwe gr 8’s het hul gees gewys deur die graadgroep met die meeste deelnemers te wees. Die wenners van die pretdraf was Christelle Coetzer (gr

9 - junior meisies), Juan-Jacques Moller (gr 9 - junior seuns), Anri McLean (gr 10 - senior meisies) en Francois Notnagel (gr 10 - senior seuns).

Van die onderwysers het mnr Hein van Heerden en me Willa Marais gewys wie is baas, deur eerste oor die wenstreep te snel.

Die groot opkoms by die geesvangge-leentheid word deur die skool voorgehou as bewys dat Plasieland ‘n beduidende verskil in die skoolgemeenskap maak.

Die Vossies se leerlingraadslede vier uitbundig die skool se 54ste ver-jaarsdag. Suiglekkers is aan die leerlinge uitgedeel.

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het afskeid geneem van me Johanna Venter, wat by die Vossies sekretaresse was vir die af-gelope negen-tien jaar. “Sy laat ‘n leemte en gaan beslis gemis word,” sê die skool-hoof.

Pretdraf en vrugtefees

As deel van Toekie Vorster dameskoshuis se oriënteringspro-gram, het die graad 8-dogters van die Hoërskool Ben Vors-ter cupcakes gebak en pragtig versier.Op Woensdag, 3 Feb-ruarie 2016, het die prefekte van Toekie Vorster die graad 8’s na die plaaslike kin-derhuis, Noah’s Ark, geneem om die kindertjies te ontmoet en aan elkeen ‘n cupcake te gee. Die glimlaggies op elke kind se gesiggie het die goeie gebaar uit en uit die moeite werd gemaak.

Die Hoërskool Merensky het nuwe ouers van heinde en verre in die Plasiefamilie verwelkom.

Ten spyte van die feit dat baie ouers ook spore op Merensky getrap het, was dit vir hulle ‘n voorreg om met hul aankoms die beesklok te lui. Die klok word gebruik om nuwe leerlinge as volbloed Plasies in te wy, nadat hulle ‘n paar tradisies deurgegaan het. Die klok word weer aan die einde van gr 12 gelui, wanneer hulle die grootmenslewe betree.

Gaste het die geleentheid gehad

om deur die Merensky-museum te beweeg, waarna heerlike ver-

snaperings, praatjies en speletjies die ys gebreek het.

Nadat die klank van die bekende Ruston Hornsby, wat destyds soveel as 222 500 liter water per uur uit die Letabarivier gepomp het, deur Plasieland weergalm het, het almal met blou bloed gesellig om die braaivleisvure by Die Voerkraal, Merensky se onderdak snoepie-

kompleks, lekker saam tot som-mer laataand gekuier en “ou koeie uit die sloot gegrawe”.

Die beheerraad van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het die personeel onlangs by ‘n

keurige fonthaal, wat by The Junction buite Letsitele gehou is, verwelkom.

Die kos was uit die boonste rakke en almal het besonder welkom en gewaardeerd gevoel. Baie moeite is gedoen en die personeel is behoorlik bederf.

‘n Inspirerende toespraak is deur mnr Piet Smit, die beheer-raadsvoorsitter, gelewer.

Die Vossie-onderwysers het groot dank vir die beheerraad se welwillendheidsgebaar, wat nie deur die personeel verwag is nie, uitgespreek.

bulletin©10737ngh160129tb

2016 is election year for local government. For us as members of our local communities, it is imperative to know what the impact will be on the annual municipal fi nancial cycle such as the IDP and the Municipal Budget for 2016/17, because we will be on the receiving end if this process is not managed well.

Action now will guide us to assist munic-ipalities and prevent unnecessary compli-cations for the next fi nancial year. We don’t have to look far, because the MFMA*1circu-lar No. 78, issued by the National Treasury called the “Municipal Budget Circular for the 2016/17 MTREF*2”, provide local communi-ties and municipalities with clear guidelines.

Download this valuable document at: http://mfma.treasury.gov.za/Circulars/

Documents/MFMA%20Circular%20No.%2078/01.%202016_17%20MFMA%20Budget%20

Circular%20No%2078%20-%2007%20Dec%202015%20%28fi nal%29.pdf

The main theme in this circular is fi nancial sustainability. You can assist our Minister of Finance to prevent further unsustainable po-litical-motivated fi nancial decisions if you are willing to put in a litt le eff ort during the prepa-ration for the next municipal fi nancial year.

How do we make a diff erence?1. Register as Stakeholder. Make sure you

(or the organization where you make your contribution) are registered as stakeholder at the local municipality. That will ensure that you are informed of consultative meet-ings. Make sure you check local newspapers, such as the Bulletin, for advertisements of meetings and make sure at least one person of each organization att ends the meetings. If you don’t know how to participate, please

contact your local councillor, the offi ce of the political party near you or make contact on-line.

2. Obtain dates of community participa-tion meetings. The municipality must have a schedule of the dates of consultative meetings for the full budget process. Make sure you get that schedule and that the municipality keep to the dates approved by council.

3. Prepare. How do you know who must do what? Obtain the “Time Schedule of Key Deadlines” from the web site of National Treasury. This document shows clearly what the Mayor, Municipal Manager and com-munity must do to ensure sustainable local government. The web site National Treas-ury (www.treasury.gov.za) is one of the most amazing sources of quality information avail-able to all of us free of charge. From the home

page, click on “Legislation” and click on “MFMA” to access all the resources in terms of local government.

4. Understand the risks due to the local gov-ernment elections to be held anytime between May - August 2016 and deal with the risks. (More about this in the next article).

Impact of Local Government Elections on the budget cycle of local municipalities 2016/17: How do we participate?

This year is probably the most important for South Africans since the country became a democracy in 1994. Our economy is to a certain extent in tatters, race relations are tense, the President’s troubles have become more and more serious, the country is experiencing one of the worst

droughts in memory, unemployment is reaching alarming numbers and… later this year voters will go to the ballot box to elect new councillors for their municipalities. A “retired” councillor of our area, Ms Marie Helm (she served as a councillor in Louis Trichardt/

Makhado), volunteered to write an number of arti-cles on the subject of municipal elections. Today you can read her fi rst contribution. You are certain to fi nd some good advice and information in this fi rst article as well as the ones to follow in coming weeks.

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se atlete het Vrydag aan die Janus Robberts-atletiek-byeenkoms in Polokwane deelgeneem, saam met atlete van die hoërskole Pi-

etersburg (die gasskool), HTS Tom Naude, Curro Heuwelkruin, Northern Academy, Mitchel House College en Frans du Toit. Ben Vorster se atlete het

baie goed gevaar en 96 medaljes huis toe gebring: 33 goud, 36 silwer en 27 brons.

Die volgende atlete het rekords verbeter :

Tristin Du Preez, seuns o.17 - spiesgooi (silwer); Carmen Botha, meisies o.19 – 400 m-hekkies en hoogspring; Jolan-di van der Merwe, meisies o.14 – spies-gooi (silwer); Gustav Prinsloo, seuns o.17, spiesgooi (brons); Emile Kruger, seuns o.16 – spiesgooi; Jo-han Harms, seuns o.14 – spiesgooi; Lara Schutt e, meisies o.17 – 200 m.

Lara Schutt e is aangewys as senior victrix ludorum en Emile Kruger het ‘n kontantprys ontvang vir die hoogste AB-SA-punte (947) vir seuns.

More is daar ‘n tuis-byeenkoms by Ben Vorster.


Die SA spanne wat oor twee weke met ŉ nuwe aanslag in die Superrugbyreeks begin, kan veel baat vind deur na die televisiedekking van Europese Sesnasie-wedstryde te kyk.

Nog drie wedstryde waaruit afrigters én spelers heelwat kan leer, word dié naweek regstreeks uitgesaai. Saam met die krieket, waarin Suid-Afrika en Engeland hul tweestryd voortsit, hou dit vir sportliefhebbers ure van opwinding en skouspelagtige aksie in.

As die Proteas hul kant bring, sal dit die kroon span op ŉ naweek waartoe die dekking van voortrefl ike atletiek in Europa en toetskrieket tussen Australië en Nieu-Seeland ook mildelik sal bydra.

Die manne wat op Pebble Beach in Kalifornië in die week se groot gholftoernooi meeding, het geen bykomende aansporing nodig nie. Die prysgeld beloop $7 miljoen; gelykstaande aan sowat R112 miljoen. Die wenner kry kort duskant die R20 miljoen.

12 February 2016

Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, ensovoorts, van Oubal is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die eienaar en personeel van die koerant nie!

Oubal was nog altyd van mening dat hoe meer jy ‘n onderwerp bestudeer, hoe meer kom jy daar-van te wete en hoe beter verstaan jy dit. Sport is die een ding waarvan Oubal ‘n lewenslange studie gemaak het, maar dit smaak hom hy ver-staan al minder daarvan.

‘Tja, Oubal moet tot sy spyt toegee dat hy nooit baie van geld verstaan het nie, en wanneer dít in die sportpot gegooi word, maak Oubal nog min-der as katsafraan daarvan uit. As Oubal byvoorbeeld voor die keuse gestel word oor wie van Hashim Amla of Chris Morris vir Oubal se lewe moet kolf, kies hy die baardman enige dag; insgelyks, as die keuse tussen Dale Steyn en die einste Morris lê oor wie Oubal se lewe moet red met die bal in die hand, kyk Oubal nie verder as die Phalaborwa Ex-press nie.

Maar dis gewone (of regte) krieket. As dit kom by die t20-formaat van die Indiese Professionele Liga, smaak dit vir Oubal alle logika gaan ten gronde. Verlede Saterdag is ‘n klomp spelers van oor die hele wêreld, asook Indië, soos ‘n klomp brandsiek beeste tydens die droogte in ‘n kraal gejaag en die IPL franchise-eienaars kon op hulle bie soos ‘n klomp

Dwaalboom-boere. Dit smaak Oubal die Dwaalbomers ver-staan geld beter as Indiërs, wat nogal ‘n mondvol is.

Chris Morris, wat op die dag van die veiling nie goed ge-noeg geag is om vir sy land in ‘n vyft igboulbeurt interna-sionale wedstryd te speel nie, word wakker met die nuus dat hy oornag vir 1miljoen US$ verkoop is. ‘n Skamele 16miljoen Miekie Muis Rande, en dit om vir ‘n maand lank die verspotste weergawe van krieket op die subkontinent te gaan speel. G’n wonder Morris het verlede Saterdag in PE die heel dag op die kantlyn gesit en lag, terwyl sy spanmaats ‘n verlore stryd teen Engeland gevoer het nie!

Dale Steyn daarenteen, sal slegs ‘n derde van Morris se inkomste verdien, maar dan weet ‘n mens nou ook nie of hy vir ‘n slag fi ks gaan wees om te speel nie. Die Indiese boere

dink ook Amla is so brandsiek dat hy nie verkoop kon word nie, om nie eens te praat nie van waarskynlik die mees vernietigende kolwer in die korter weer-gawes, Martin Guptill van Nieu-Seeland, wat ook

deur die brandsiek Amla-lot getref is. Malligheid, soos Oubal se strokiesheld Obelix sou gesê het!Oubal dink hierdie debakel illustreer presies wat ver-

keerd is met krieket in die 21ste eeu. Dit word fi nansieel gedryf deur die bevolking van ‘n enkele land se onlesbare dors na die vermaak van die kortste van kitsformate — vergelyk-baar met mense met ‘n kort aandagspan wat dink dambord is beter as skaak. Die probleem is dat die geld wat hier verdien word, die lewensaar geword het van die meeste van die wêreld se voorste krieketspelers (en ‘n hele aantal gemiddeldes!), en daarmee word t20-krieket ‘n selfvervullende profesie.

‘Tja, soos gesê, Oubal verstaan heeltemal te min van geld om enigsins eers te probeer om met ‘n oplossing vorendag te kom om toetskrieket te red van die aanslag deur ‘n lawwigheid, so hy sal seker maar moet vrede maak daarmee. Maar hy doen dit onder protes!“Life should not be estimated exclusively by the standard of dollars and cents.” — Charles Goodyear
