Lies, lies, lies!• Letaba Hospital’s problems and all the...

The situation at the Letaba Hospital is said to be critical. The psychiatric ward that was ruined by a devastating fi re more than a year ago, has still not been rebuilt, despite earlier announce-ments that it would be refurbished as a matter of urgency. Enquiries about the state of affairs at this big and important regional hospital have resulted in what cannot be called anything less than lies. The CEO of the hospital is unavailable when called and he doesn’t take or return calls from the media. It is also alleged that many of the State doctors run private practices, causing them to spend more time at their practices than in the hospital. We conducted an investigation into a number of matters at Letaba.

Mee Isolde Fassondini en Yvonne Streicher is onlangs met toekennings vereer, vir dertig jaar se lojale diens (deur elkeen) aan die Hoërskool Ben Vorster. Honderde (duisende!) leerlinge is oor die jare heen deur die twee leerkragte gehelp om suksesvol op skool te leer, om uiteindelik suksesvol in die lewe te wees. Die skoolhoof het hulle spesiaal bedank vir hul diens aan die onderwys en beklemtoon dat dit ‘n voorreg is om hulle steeds as deel van die skool se onderwyskorps te hê.

Vlieg vra om verskoning dat hy verlede week ‘n voor-heen bevoordeelde leuentjie moes vertel. Hy het nie reg-tig iets gaan soek vir die pot nie. Hy is gou oor China toe om die nuwejaarsvierings by te woon, en wou nie ge-had het sy skoonma moes weet hy gaan weg nie. Dan sou hy haar dalk twee keer moes soen, voor hy weg is en toe hy terugkom. Toe jok hy maar.

Vlieg het homself ‘n biet-jie gaan bederf die Chinese nuwejaar in, in Wanking! Vlieg het sommer die ge-leentheid gebruik om ‘n bietjie meer te leer oor die Chinese kalender en die astrologiese daaraan verbonde.

2016 is natuurlik die jaar van die Rooi Aap, oft ewel dan The Year of the Red Monkey! Vlieg kon nie anders om ‘n bietjie te glim-lag toe hy Donderdagaand terugkeer en sy beeldradio aanskakel om die aapstreke in die parlement te bekyk nie. Die Chinese het dalk iets beet hier of weet dalk iets wat ons nie geweet het nie. Kyk net wat sê hulle:

“According to Chinese Five Elements Hor-oscopes, Monkey contains Metal and Water. Metal is connected to gold. Water is connected to wisdom and danger. Therefore, we will deal with more fi nancial events in the year of the Monkey. Monkey is a smart, naughty, wily and vigilant animal. If you want to have good return for your money investment, then you need to outsmart the Monkey. Metal is also connected to the Wind. That implies the status of events will be changing very quickly. Think twice before you leap when making changes for your fi nance, career, business relationship and peo-ple relationship. That is a sign of jinx in Chinese horoscopes when a Monkey meets another Mon-key. The scene is that if a Monkey is passing by a land with a local Monkey tyrant in charge. If the traveling Monkey can keep qui-et, then it will be safe and pass the land. If the traveling Monkey wants to mess with or challenge the tyrant, then trouble will come to the traveling Monkey dur-ing its journey.

Therefore, if you are the traveling Monkey un-der somebody’s territory, you had bett er play low-profi le during that journey. You should re-alize its normal that your people relationship, love relationship, money luck or job development could encounter a certain limitation in the year of Monkey.

Monkey is also connected to the strong wind. Two Monkeys together generate even stronger wind. That will become natural hazard to dam-age people’s properties. That’s the sign of money loss.”

Onse SONA-voorleser is natuurlik gebore in 1942, die jaar van die Perd. Vlieg se na-vorsing toon dat die volgende in die jaar van die Aap voorspel word vir iemand wat in die jaar van die Perd gebore is:

When Horse meets Monkey, Horse can reach its achievement aft er hardship.

Career: Your workload and responsibility will increase. That’s a good sign for the ca-

reer development. Your income will grow as much as you make eff orts on your job.

Job Change: Your career luck is good. You have the chance of the promotion. Also a diff erent company could off er you a higher position. You should accept the challenge.

Wealth: The money luck is prett y good. You might have a good salary raise from your work. If you have extra money for the investment, you have bett er to spend time and energy to review your investment port-folio and adjust your fi nancial strategy.

Love: If you are looking for love, then the love opportunity is out there and you need to spend time to fi nd it. If you are a male, you have more chances to meet girls you like to build a new relationship. If you are married or in love, what you need is

more romance with your lover. Social Circle: The topics of your social net-

works will focus more in the career and fi -nance. Staying in those circles, you will learn new knowledge and experience from others. Those friendships and connections will help your career development.

Quarrel: If you have argument, dispute or lawsuit with someone, then you have good chance to win the case. If that’s involving the money, then you can get some money back.

Health: Try not to over-exercise and then injure the body. Pay att ention on your mus-cle, tendon and bones. Next, watch the air quality to prevent from the problems out of the respiratory system.

General Fortune: Monkey brings good for-tune to you. Fame and wealth are coming to you. Don’t miss this opportunity.

Klink vir Vlieg of die president gaan bly net waar hy is, die Gupta’s hom nog meer gaan bederf, hy dalk nog ‘n vrou kan trou, hy sy hofsake gaan wen, maar dat hy ‘n biet-jie verder van die vuur af moet sit, die rook

gaan hom laat hoes!Onse “Zupta must fall”-voor-

sanger is gebore in 1981, die jaar van die Haan. Die volgende word vanjaar vir hom voorspel:

When Chicken meets Monkey, that’s a sign of the worries behind happiness.

Career: The career industry is changing. You need to spend more time and energy on your job. You will feel some pressures from the project schedule. But you still can work happily as long as you fol-low all the instructions of your boss carefully.

Job Change: If you have a job off er from a diff erent company, then you

should think twice before accepting the po-sition. The new working environment might have many diff erent opinions in the future business direction. That’s a noisy and un-stable sign. If you don’t like such challenge, then it’s not a good time to move.

Wealth: You don’t have strong money luck. But your friends or relatives will dis-cuss some investment opportunities to you. They might even push you to involve the investment using the yearlong friendship. The problem is that you cannot manage and control the operation of investment. Monkey

is connected to the wind. The money will disappear very quickly on a wrong

investment. Love: Your lover likes to show

his or her ability to act as the speaker of your relationship. Your lover likes to take control over the

decision making including your activities and schedules. He or she

has many reasons to override your opin-ions. You will feel the pressures from the love relationship.

Social Circle: Basically, your social ac-tivities will increase. But some social net-works are wasting your time. Some ones out there are talkative, seeking the lime-light and publishing nonsense opinions. Therefore, just spend more time with your close friends and family members.

Quarrel: If you have argument, dispute or lawsuit with someone, then you had bett er to negotiate with your opponent.

The sign shows you are underdog. A quick truce is a good approach for the current cir-cumstance.

Health: The air quality is very important to your health. Pay att ention on your respira-tory system — lungs, nose, bronchus and throat.

General Fortune: The potential and unex-pected pressure is out there. When you are in a joyous moment, you need to watch your words and behaviors not off ending or dis-please someone. Then your life will be calm and safe.

Eish, klink of Juju ‘n bietjie moeilikheid het. Moeilikheid met sy baas, werksomstan-dighede gaan maar moeilik wees, klink of hy SARS gaan moet terugbetaal, sy vrou gaan hom laat les opsê, sy vriende gaan hom in die gat hap en verder gaan hy maar net hom-self wees!

• Vlieg wonder of dit die jaar van die Rooi Aap is, of die Jaar van die Aapstreke in Rooi overalls!

Limpopo’s Depart-ment of Health seems to be in dis-array about the sit-uation at the Leta-ba Hospital, where a devastating fire reduced the male psychiatric ward to ruins more than a year ago.

In a press statement issued by the Department after the fire, “a quick programme of action to fix the hos-pital in a short space of time” was mentioned. Thus far nothing seems to have been done to refurbish the ward and when we asked the Department for a pro-gress report, we were not given an honest reply.

In the meantime psychiatric patients have been put in a general ward with other patients. This has upset patients and their relatives, since the psychiatric pa-tients “can be rather disturbing” at times.

In January the Bulletin asked the Department’s spokesperson, Mr Macks Lesufi, about the state of the psychiatric ward and the allegations that male psychiatric patients were being accommodated in a general ward.

“We are not mixing patients in Letaba Hospital. Two years ago the male psychiatric ward burned down and it has been fixed. The psychiatric patients are back in their ward and the overall renovation work is still in progress,” Lesufi said.

We then visited the hospital and found that male psychiatric patients were being accommodated in the old female general Ward 2. Nursing staff who wished to remain anonymous told us that “normal” patients were suffering the consequences of sharing general wards with psychiatric patients.

It is alleged by hospital staff that non-psychiatric patients fear for their lives, as sometimes the psychi-atric patients stare at them “as if they see harmful animals”. They cause havoc in a matter of minutes and “picking up fights is no big deal to them”.

“During visiting hours the psychiatric patients are moving up and down like headless chickens. They don’t want to stay put,” a senior nurse told us. She added that “these patients were a job and a half as

they are not easily controlled when mixed with other patients — it makes our job very difficult, since they even beat us and we are not allowed to report it, be-cause they are patients”.

According to another staffer, patients’ visitors bring fruit and other healthy food for their loved ones dur-ing visiting hours. However, the patients more often than not don’t get to enjoy the fruit and other snacks. “When the visitors leave, the fierce psychiatric pa-tients snatch the food from them.”

During our visit to the hospital, we took photos of the psychiatric ward, showing clearly that it was still in ru-ins. We couldn’t find any signs of any restoration work (see the photos that were taken during our visit).

In November last year the Bulletin sent enquiries about the restoration of the ward to the Department

of Health’s me-dia liaison officer, Mr Billy Teffo. He told us that Letaba Hospital’s reno-

vations programme was at 10%. The 10% included the alterations to the psychiatric ward and adminis-tration block. He added that the overall renovations would be completed in July 2016.

When the Bulletin enquired via emails and count-less telephone calls about the progress earlier this year (to the media liaison officer), he clearly dodged the issue by saying, “I have received the data; I will process it and send it to — I am out of the office and my battery is low but I will make a plan to send you the information.”

It is now about a month later and we are still wait-ing for his report. In the first week of February Lesufi was called again, regarding the fact that he said male psychiatric patients were back in their ward. We told him that we visited the site and that the ward was still in ruins. He did not confirm or deny that what he had said was true or false.

Instead he said, “If you are looking for information regarding Letaba Hospital’s renovation progress go to the CEO, Mr Tebogo Ramodibe and he will then call us and we will allow him to speak to you. But what you did was irregular. By the way, you cannot include my comments as I am no longer the Depart-ment of Health’s spokesperson, effective from 02 February,” Lesufi said.

When we called Letaba Hospital’s CEO, Ms Fikile Mnisi who said she was the personal assistant to the CEO, answered the phone. She said the CEO was in a meeting in Polokwane and will also be in a meeting from Monday to Wednesday.

She said, however, that she would make a point of asking the CEO to call us. We are waiting for his call, but by the time of going to print yesterday (Thurs-day) we had not yet heard of him.

Here is one of our steal photos, taken more or less a week ago, clearly showing that the psychiatric ward is still in a total mess.

TzaneenBirding25 February

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. It allows you to capture your sightings with live GPS map-ping of each location, whilst also logging the time and date. It enables you to easily submit your data to SABAP2 (the Second Southern African Bird Atlas Proj-ect, the most important bird conservation project in the region, which maps the distribution and relative abundance of birds throughout Southern Africa). It also allows you to share your records with your friends and community in real time via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. The presentation will be held at the Macada-mia Community Centre at 18.30 on 25 February. Henk is a lively and entertaining speaker, and this should be a most interesting evening! Tea and coff ee will be served, visitors are welcome and pay a small fee of R20. For further information contact Marianne McK-enzie on 082 835 4185.

19 Februarie 2016

Hoekom lieg?Hoekom lieg regeringsamptenare so maklik? Doen hulle dit in opdrag van hul politieke base? Wanneer gaan die re-gering(s) in ons land besef dat “al loop die leuen nog so snel, die waarheid ag-terhaal hom wel”.

Ons het nou weer ervaar hoe geweten-loos amptenare lieg en as hulle dan uit-gevang word, dreig hulle met “optrede” as die waarheid (ook oor die leuens) geo-penbaar sou word.

By die Letaba Hospitaal, ‘n streekhospi-taal wat ‘n bitt er groot gebied en gemeen-skap — veral die armes — moet bedien, gaan dit op die oog af maar beroerd.

Staatsdokters wat betaal word om heel-tyds by die hospitaal te werk, het (skelm)private praktyke en laat dikwels pasiënte aan hul eie lot oor.

Die saal vir psigiatriese pasiënte is so-wat ‘n jaar gelede deur ‘n brand in puin gelê. Die herstelwerk sou “onmiddellik en met groot haas” aangepak word. Daar gaan niks aan nie.

Pasiënte kla, hul naasbestaandes kla en selfs die personeel kla oor die wyse waarop psigiatrie-pasiënte nou in ander sale tussen ander pasiënte geplaas word. Verpleegpersoneel getuig selfs dat hulle aangerand word.

Die hospitaal se hoof wil nie met die media praat nie, hy bel nie terug nie en amptenare lieg oor wat daar aan die gang is. Die hemele behoed ons.

I was brought up in a very formal Angli-can church, with all the smells and bells, very Roman Catholic with a slight diff er-ence. The priest had to wear heavy robes and I think there was defi nitely a certain “pecking order”, the hymns sung, ac-companied by an organ or piano.

I also att ended, on occasions the “Moeder Kerk” of the NGK which was also very formal. The congregants also sat in a defi nite order, normally with the Ouderlinge sitt ing in the front and a fam-ily would also sit in a specifi c order, with the father sitt ing on the aisle. So imagine my surprise when many years later I landed up in Tzaneen and went to my fi rst Sunday service at St. Peter’s. When I entered the church I fi rst noticed people dressed in Saris sitt ing at the back and a band up front; was I in the right church? It was only when the priest greeted us with “The Lord be with you” that I knew I was in the right church.

How things have changed and now it was no longer formal dress to go to church, I know there are those who will argue that dress-ing up is a sign of respect, but God does not see the dress, He sees the heart. We are there to praise and worship a living God, one who sees us for who we are and not for what we are. What a blessing? I am still a litt le old fashioned and like the odd formal service, however, tradition is changing and we need to prepare for change, when Christ comes again there will be big changes and we need to be ready.

Preparing ourselves in every way to meet our Saviour; we need to take on the “servant att itude” to all our deeds. Following Christ’s example of the Servant King. He was bold enough to step out from the formality of the Jewish religion and meet the people face to face without any judgement. He accepted all without reservations. Should we too not be selective as to who att ends our church, but welcome them with open arms, irrespective of who they are or how they look. We are all sinners and need to remember that only Christ can forgive our sins. Some of us have been so indoctrinated with ideas of what is right and what is wrong, who to accept and who not. Is this being truly Christian?

Does or is God only present in a formal building we call a church? Jesus preached all over and not only in a church/Synagogue. He gave us an instruction to preach His word to all no matt er where or when. So do we only preach in a formal church or can we have a service in an open veld or even in a café what about in a bar? We must go where the people meet to spread the love of Christ.

Now this may seem radicle but how otherwise will we get the message through, if we look at the att endance in churches today, I feel we are failing dismally. Let us not stand on the high ground if we are not prepared to go down and rescue those who are search-ing for the truth. Let us all go out in love and peace. Blessings

By JurisconsultIt is election time. Politicians, communities and journalists are gearing up for the big day. This case also looked at freedom of expression – and “how far” can journalists go in reporting about alleged improper conduct, and can journalists successfully raise a defense against expressions that are in fact defamatory?

A very interesting court case that was before the High Court, Gauteng Division, can shed some light on this issue and serve as a guideline for journalists, community members and politicians alike. The case of Thaba v Haff ajee and Another (Case Number: 49831/11) In this case, Mr John Thaba, who was a council-lor for Ward 60 of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, claimed damages from the Chief Editor of City Press and News 24 because of an article in the media about Thaba giving out chick-en packs, money and alcohol to win votes in the 2011 election. The article appeared on 30 January 2011. He claimed that as a result of the publica-tion he was withdrawn as a candidate for re-elec-tion as a councillor. There were two claims —• a claim for special damages under the Aquilian ac-tion, for loss of earnings • a claim for general damages under the actio iniuri-arum for defamation. The court found that Thaba failed to set out or even prove causation. The judge said that “This is especially so if I take into account the fact that the decision of removal of the Thaba’s name as candidate for councillor took place prior to the ar-ticle being published.” The screening committ ee had taken this decision on 27 January 2011 and as at then would not have had any knowledge of the article that was only published on 30 January 2011.

The second claim is really of importance in election time:

Regarding the second claim, i.e. the defamatory article, Haff ajee and News 24 conceded that the

article contained defamatory allegations. They however raised the defense that the publication was not unlawful and reasonable in the circum-stances.

The author of the article, Mr Cedric Mboyisa, testifi ed for Haff ajee and News24. He stated that the climate within which the article was writt en was political as it was during highly contested local municipal election. Thaba was one of the contenders, ANC chairperson and a councillor.

He obtained a tip off from his ‘sources’ and acted upon it by going to ward 60 to verify that information obtained from the source. Mboyi-sa testifi ed that he interviewed members of the community of ward 60, spoke to the ANC spokes-person, he even att empted to obtain a comment about the allegations from Thaba but Thaba re-fused to comment. Mboyisa went to the store where the chicken had been allegedly purchased and confi rmed with an employee of the store that indeed all the chicken in the store had been pur-chased by a group of people.

Haff ajee and News24 raises the defence of rea-sonableness on the case National Media Ltd & Others v Bogoshi 1998 (4) SA 1196 (SCA) at 1212.

... that the publication in the press of false de-famatory allegations of fact will not be regarded as unlawful if, upon a consideration of all the cir-cumstances of the case, it is found to have been reasonable to publish the particular facts in the particular way and at the particular time. In con-sidering the reasonableness of the publication account must obviously be taken of the nature, extent and tone of the allegations.

....What will also fi gure prominently, is the na-

ture of the information on which the allegations were based and the reliability of their source, as well as the steps taken to verify the informa-tion. Ultimately there can be no justifi cation for the publication of untruths, and members of the press should not be left with the impression that they have a licence to lower the standards of care which must be observed before defamatory mat-ter is published in a newspaper.”

Haff ajee and News 24 further argued that they were aff orded media privilege and political priv-ilege. The court was directed to Mthembi-Mah-anyele v Mail Guardian Limited where the SCA had the following to say about politics, politicians and political privilege:

Freedom of expression in political discourse is necessary to hold members of government ac-countable to the public. And some latitude must be allowed in order to allow robust and frank comment in the interest of keeping members of society informed about what government does. Errors of fact should be tolerated, provided that statements are published justifi ably and reason-ably: that is with the reasonable belief that the statements made are true. The court indicated the following aspects must be taken into account when considering a defence of reasonableness –•the interest of the public, •the nature, extent and tone of the allegations, •the nature of the information upon which the allegations are based, •the reliability of their source, •the steps taken to verify the source, •the opportunity given to the person concerned to respond, and •the need to publish before establishing the truth of the content in a positive manner. The court found that Haff ajee and News 24 have succeeded in demonstrating that the article so published was not done wrongfully and that it was reasonable to publish the allegations at that particular time and manner.

Robust & frank media comment is in the interest of societyBe prepared for a very rough ride towards the middle of the year. The municipal elections already have politicians gallop-ing and showing no mercy to opponents. Insults fl y and voters are bewilderedly looking for guidance. It is expected from the media to publish information about political parties and politi-cians. But how far can one go before being sued for defamation?

A formidable husband and wife team, mar-ried almost four decades, took over the reins at God’s Haven at 19 Circle Road in Tzaneen a few years ago. With stringent, viable sys-tems now in place, God’s Haven offers rel-atives peace of mind and the elderly enjoy care, comfort and kindness.

The institution’s Management Board con-sisting of Mr Henk Mienie (Divisional Manager of Waste Management at the GTM), his wife Linda and pharmacist Mr Johan Cloete pinpointed the flaws in the running of the place.

Mienie says, “The tariff structure was way too low, personnel structure was not explicit, a lack of discipline amongst the work force and tender care was absent with some staffers. There was no debtor’s control and no follow up or cost recovery. There was an ab-sence of portfolio management within the Board. Now there is definition with a Chairman, Deputy Chairman, Secre-tary, Treasurer and a member with a medical portfolio. We’ve also appointed Ms Annemarie Coetzee as Manager.”

A local lawyer, Mr Ruan Vorster, was co-opted for legal matters on a voluntary basis involving debtor’s recovery. The fees were brought into a more viable bracket and new residents are charged the adjusted rate of R6 600 a month.

There were ten SASSA pensioners when the Mienie couple got involved and there are now two left. There are a total of 23 residents with Ms Hennie McCallaghan, the found-er of the Matana business, being the oldest at 98. Seventy five percent of the residents

have Alzheimer’s and only nine are not in nappies. Bed-ridden patients are smeared with Prep for bedsores and nappy rash. Also a mixture of baby powder and maizena ab-sorbs wetness. The other residents are disa-bled in some way.

There are four chefs, fourteen nurses, four cleaners, two laundry staffers and a garden-

er. The nurses work shifts and only the head nurse, Ms Sabina Mashaphu, works during the day only.

Ms Mienie replaced the staff’s raggedy clothing with colour coded uniforms more than a year ago. With designer and dress maker Ms Louise Olivier from Tzaneen new uniforms were created. Dr Sonia van der Mescht from Tzaneen donated the funds for this new wardrobe and Fabric Magic gave a generous discount on material. Mienie says, “My granddaughters, Liné (8) and Marné (5) Basson, and I cut out all the uniforms. This is what these children did during their De-

cember holiday.”“I’ve sewn 180 uniforms and am now sew-

ing the second batch. My vision is seven uniforms for each day. Staffers have four uniforms at this stage. The uniforms are dif-

ferent colours but the same style. This way there is control over who is where.”

God’s Haven was started in 2005 by the late Mr Fred Prinsloo, who had compassion for needy elderly people.

Donations come in from all over the coun-try and abroad. There was an anonymous donor from Cape Town plus a donation from a church in Dubai. The non-cash dona-tions are foodstuffs from Woolworths, Sugar Loaf, Park Butchery and Letsitele farmers, to

name but a few. This amounts to about R80 000 a month. Kind to Hearing tested the res-idents’ hearing for free, distributed hearing aids for free and has offered free follow-ups for the next three months.

God’s Haven, with the help of Northern Personnel, only takes staff with a passion and love for the elderly and disabled. Ex-penditure control includes the over usage

of materials and equipment and turning off of lights during the day.

Henk is responsible for maintenance. More than R30 000 was spent to re-pair the neglect that had taken place over the past few years. Cloete looks after the donations of OTC medi-cation. All prescribed medicine is pre-packed by Lombard’s Pharmacy in the form of a sealed blister pack. This costs R130 a month extra, but

stops medicines from getting into the wrong hands. Even the medicines from

the hospital and the clinics are packed by Lombard’s Pharmacy. All meds are locked away in the office

Accounting firm Ferreira Venter has done the books up to 2014 free of charge. There is no financial support from the state but offi-cials are very quick to do inspections, par-ticularly labour related inspections!

The Mienie couple spends hours making sure God’s Haven runs efficiently. They also do weekend duties to ensure everyone and everything is going well. Their hard work has paid off as the residents are happy and the books are all in the black.

The Mopani District Municipality has called upon all communities in their jurisdiction to utilise water very sparingly, as dam levels in the district have dropped drastically. Out of the nine main dams supplying water to com-munities in the district, seven have dropped to below 50%. It is estimated that six of these dams will be empty comes April, if it does not rain between now and then.

Below are dam levels in the Mopani District Municipality:

Working together with the Department of Water and Sanitation, the Mopani District Municipality will enforce the implementa-tion of drought operating rules at all dams, including water restrictions for both domes-tic and irrigation use. Dams to be affected by water restrictions are Middle Letaba, Nsami, Modjadji and Tzaneen Dams.

Due to these restrictions, the Mopani Dis-trict Municipality is also implementing wa-ter supply partitioning in the affected com-munities.

Municipal News

Residents in the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s area have experienced serious problems with monthly mu-nicipal accounts — mainly for elec-tricity — in recent months. The GTM has thus been inundated with com-plaints from residents and confirmed that the bulk of the complaints were related to electricity charges and dis-connection fees.

The GTM’s spokesperson, Mr Neville Ndlala, has issued the following media statement to address the matter:

“Residents are reminded that the deadline for payments is the 25th of each month. Those who fail to meet the deadline will receive an SMS re-minder. Failure to act on the remind-er will result in the defaulter receiv-

ing a ‘final request’ notice, which is accompanied by a R45 fee. Action will therefore be required from the account holder within three days of receiving the ‘final request’ notice.

“Failure to act within the stipulated timeframe will result in the delivery of a disconnection notice and subse-quent disconnection. The disconnec-tion notice is delivered at the same time as the actual disconnection.

“A disconnection fee of R365 will be billed into the account of the prop-erty owner or account holder. The electricity will only be reconnected after payment is made or a payment arrangement is made.

“We have appointed a service pro-vider to do meter reading on behalf

of the municipality and they have already started with their work. The readings are collected on a monthly basis and captured in our financial systems.

“For accuracy and as proof a photo of the meter at the time when the read-ing is recorded, is taken and uploaded into the account. The hike in electricity bills in most instances is a result of the heat wave which led to residents over-using their air conditioners. The air conditioner consumes more electricity than most household utilities.

“Residents who have queries or are not satisfied with their accounts are welcome to lodge their queries with our accounts section in the Finance Department.”

The Greater Tzaneen Municipal-ity would like to unreservedly apologise to residents of Tzaneen who have been affected by water that is slightly dirty. The situation is receiving urgent attention and it has since been sorted in most parts of the town. However, there are areas that still face challenges, says the GTM’s spokesperson, Mr Neville Ndlala.

“The problem is as the result of two issues that our technicians have identified. They have devel-oped an action plan to urgently ad-dress the situation. There has been a drop in dam levels due to the drought. The significant drop has led to us drawing water from what is referred to as a ‘second layer’.

“This layer contains water which is dirtier and hard to clean. It thus required from us to ad-just our chemicals, to adequate-ly clean the water — which was only done after the water had already been let into the reticula-tion system. This issue has since been resolved.

“The second reason is that our reservoirs which receive wa-ter from the Tzaneen Dam are slightly dirty. Water from these reservoirs is distributed directly to both domestic and industri-al clients. Water from the water treatment plant meet and exceed all requirements. Daily samples

are taken for laboratory testing by a service provider appoint-ed by the Department of Water Affairs. We have also conducted independent tests and the results are good.

“We have therefore developed a schedule to clean and disinfect all three reservoirs receiving water supply from the Tzaneen Dam. We will start with Saagmeul Res-ervoir on 20 February from 06:00 to 18:00. The following areas will be affected: Tzaneen Life-style Centre, Lushof, Riverside, Sasol R71 filling station, Catholic Church, Malaria Institute.

“On 21 February we will clean and disinfect the Ben Vorster Res-ervoir, also from 06:00 to 18:00. The affected areas will include Flora Park, Medi-Park, the CBD and Industrial. On 22 February we will clean and disinfect Rus-tic Reservoir, but no areas will be affected.

“Due to the drought the Depart-ment of Water Affairs has issued a Government Gazette on water restrictions. Industrial clients are expected to reduce their water consumption by 35% and resi-dential usage must be reduced by 10%. Residents who fail to heed this message will be penalised. Our dam levels have gone down dramatically and residents are urged to play their part.”

Last year (2015) was the hottest year ever recorded. Last year smashed the previous record (2014) by 0,13° C, the largest margin by which a previous re-cord has ever been exceeded. That’s according to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmos-pheric Administration (NOAA),

whose data on global surface temperatures dates back to 1880. Scientists note that the re-cord is part of a general upward trend. “It would’ve been a record year even if you abstract out the El Niño effect,” a senior NASA offi-cial announced.

No new cases of malaria have been reported in the Mopani district since 1 January this year, according to the Malaria Institute in Tzaneen.

During the first two weeks of February last year an alarm-ing 1 067 cases of malaria were reported in Limpopo.

The most affected areas were Mutale and the eastern parts of Thulamela and Greater Gi-yani Municipalities. Some isolated cases were also reported in the Greater Letaba, Greater

Tzaneen, Ba-Phalaborwa and Maruleng mu-nicipalities’ areas.

Mr Eric Mabunda, a Malaria information of-ficial at the Institute, said Lim-popo is known to be a malaria transmission area. The major prevention strategy, namely indoor residual spraying, was run from September 2015 and is still continuing this month.

In Tzaneen and surrounding areas the highest reported malaria cases in 2015 were encountered in the farming com-

munities of Modjadjiskloof and Tarentaal-rand.

“Malaria transmission occurs when there is breeding during high rainfall and with the current drought breeding is very low. We thus don’t have problems with malaria,” said Mabunda.

He added that spraying teams are active in most of the communities that reported cases of malaria. ”The spraying will continue until the end of March, when we will be nearing the end of the current malaria transmission season,” he said.

“The chemicals being used are K-othrine which last for four to six months and DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) which last for nine months when sprayed onto walls and other structures.

“Flu-like symptoms, body pain, headache and fever develop seven to twenty days or longer after visiting an endemic area. If these symptoms occur you must immediately con-sult a medical professional,” concluded Ma-bunda.

Impact of Local Government Elections on the budget cycle of local municipalities 2016/17 • Part 2

Risks that need to be explicitly managedThis year is probably the most important for South Africans since 1994. Later this year municipal

elections will be held and citizens should know their rights. Ms Marie Helm, a retired councillor,

today tells more about municipal budgets and the IDP in a year when elections are held.

We continue with the discussion of the im-pact of the local government election on the municipal budget process. Today I will

discuss the MFMA*1 circular No 78, issued by the National Treasury and called the “Municipal Budget Circular for the 2016/17

MTREF*2”. Keep in mind that the local gov-ernment election will take place this year, anytime between May and August. The mu-

nicipal budget for 2016/17 must be approved before the end of May 2016.

CLLR. MODJADJI G.H., MAYORNOTICE

R45,5 million has been spent on a sewage disposal system for the community of Dan village, but it is not operational.

Manholes have not been covered properly and residents are deeply concerned that childen are in dan-ger of falling into these open pits.

In 2012 the money was said to be spent on ensuring that two thou-sand households in Dan village get water and proper sewage.

Four contractors were appointed and granted 500 units each to con-nect to the sewerage system. How-ever, residents cannot enjoy the benefi ts of the system.

The Greater Tzaneen Municipali-ty’s spokesperson, Mr Neville Nd-lala, says it is not the GTM’s respon-sibility.

“The Departmenrt of Co-oper-ative Governance, Human Set-tlements and Traditional Aff airs

(Goghsta) launched and fi nanced the project, not the municipality,” Ndlala told us.

Co-operative Governance, Hu-man Sett lements and Traditional Aff airs spokesperson, Mr Motupa Selomo, said “we can only respond to your enquiries if you address it in writing to Matlala Callies via email”.

Vir die eerste maal in baie jare het leer-linge van die Hoërskool Merensky aan die Nasionale Afrikaanse Olimpiade deelgeneem, aangebied deur die ATKV.

Vier Afrikaans huistaal- en vyftien Afrikaans eerste addisionele taal-leer-linge, almal in gr 9, het ingeskryf en ‘n vraestel van drie ure op 8 September 2015 voltooi. Uitslae is eers vanjaar ontvang en Stefan Corbett, Bianca El-brecht en Donné Oosthuizen is onder die toptwintig leerlinge in Limpopo.

Twee Plasies het uitgeblink en is onder die nasionale tophonderd. Esmé Kloppers met haar vyfde plek verdien ‘n klop op die skouer, terwyl Belinda Luckhoff haar ook goed van haar taak gekwyt het. Van die vyftien inskry-wings in die EAT-afdeling, het sewe leerlinge die Limpopo Toptwintig-lys van presteerders gehaal: Esmé Klop-pers, Belinda Luckhoff, Carmen Fer-reira, Jordin Young, Cameron Buys, Michelle Fivas en Thabiso Shai.

Die briljantjies het reeds vir vanjaar se kompetisie ingeskryf.

Plasies ken van Afrikaans

Verskeie leerlinge van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster is vir uitsonderlike prestasies vereer.

Die beste leerlinge in hul grade wat vereer is, is James Vorster met 93,7% in gr 8, Juané Croukamp met 92,1% in gr 9, Adriaan Roets met 87% in gr 10 en Abel Nortjé met 93,9% in gr 11.

Die volgende leerlinge het in 2015 die beste punte in huistaal behaal: Abel

Nortjé met 98,3% vir Afrikaans, Xhiluva Mushwana met 93,6% vir Xitsonga en Beauty Maake met 94,8% vir Sepedi.

Die volgende leerlinge het Lim-popo-erekleure vir krieket verwerf: Emile Kruger en Fumani Maluleke (albei o.15) en Phillip Bester, Christiaan Mkansi en Jimmy Modiba (al drie o.17). Christelle Smit is vir Limpopo se o.17-tennisspan gekies.

Verlede Donderdagaand het die gr 11-leerlinge van die Hoërskool Meren-sky die jaarlikse Valentynsdans aange-bied. James Bond en sy 007-spanlede het gesorg vir ‘n suksesvolle “Spectre”- en “Skyfall”-geleentheid op maat van musiek, in ‘n pragversierde skoolsaal.

Die Plasies het meegedoen aan die tema en tot laat op die musiek van Merensky DJ’s Jason en Mpho gedans. “Mocktails – shaken not stirred” het gehelp om die hitte die hoof te bied.

‘n Paar pryse is deur die loop van die aand toegeken: Mnr en Me Bond Senior

was Armand Steyn en Xané du Toit; Mnr en Me Bond Junior was Ryan Jackson en Lianca Pieterse.

Die bes geklede juniors was Niel Del-port en Liza-Ri Snyman en by die seniors het die toekenning aan Salman Ishani en Gavaza Mashele gegaan.

SKOLE NUUS

• Continued from page 8In this article I discuss the four risks that

must be managed and the impact on fi nancial sustainability if not properly managed:

1. New tariff s for property rates, electricity, water and any other taxes and similar tariff s may only be implemented from the start of the municipal fi nancial year (1 July). This means that the municipal council must ap-prove the relevant tariff s before 1 July, and should this not happen the municipality will not be able to increase its taxes and tariff s. The risk for local government is that failure to obtain council approval could lead to the provincial executive intervening in the mu-nicipality.

Community responsibility:Members of the community, either as indi-

viduals or organizations should att end each

and every feedback and consultation meet-ing of the local municipality. Make sure that you’re clear about the proposed increase in the tariff s and taxes for the next fi nancial year. Section 3 of the circular: The South African economy and infl ation targets, deals with the macro-economic forecasts that municipalities must take into account when preparing their 2016/17 budgets. Any increase must be with-in this framework. The Macroeconomic performance and projec-tions for 2014 – 2018:

2. The municipal council must approve the annual budget before the start of the fi nancial year, and should a municipal council fail to do so, the provincial executive MUST intervene.

Community responsibility:At the very least, hold the Mayor and Munic-

ipal Manager responsible for the activities in the time schedule as set out in “Time Sched-ule of Key Deadlines”. Att end the meetings. Work through the draft IDP and Budget doc-umentation and prepare comments. Profes-sional bookkeepers can give valuable inputs in this regard. 3. The outgoing council may be tempted to prepare an ‘election friendly budget’ — with unrealistically low tariff increases and an over-ambitious capital expenditure program. This might threaten the fi nancial sustainabil-ity of the municipality and jeopardize service delivery.

Community responsibility: If this is the fi rst time that you are going to

participate, get the last two approved Mu-

nicipal IDP documents and Budgets. Com-pare these documents with the draft IDP and Budget for 2016/17. It might be easier when more than one person participate. Divide these documents into parts and each person takes responsibility for one part. Discuss the fi ndings and prepare one lett er as comments on the draft documents. 4. Given that the timing of the election campaigning coincides with the municipal budget consultations there is a risk that the consultation may be neglected or used to serve the narrow interests of political parties.

Community responsibility:Again, participate as previously discussed

and make sure that you mitigate this risk. *1 Municipal Finance Management Act, Act No. 56 of 2003*2 Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure Framework

‘n Hele handvol Plasie-ruiters het by Dusty Hills aan die eerste kwalifi seerder vir Lim-popo-perdry, as deel van die Western Mount-ed Games, deelgeneem.

In die hoërskole se vlak 1-afdeling het Wan-dri Janse van Rensburg van Merensky en haar perd, Pagani, algeheel tweede geeïndig, met Dawid van Jaarsveld en sy perd, Robyn, derde. Mernique Potgieter en Blurrito was in die vierde plek met Genevieve van der Mer-we en Bughati vyfde.

In die hoërskole vlak 2-afdeling het Gene-vieve en haar ander perd, Zahra, op ‘n galop die eerste plek behaal. Theo van der Merwe het in die tweede plek ingetrippel. Genevieve het met die prestasie na ‘n vlak 3-ruiter op-geskuif.

Anri Janse van Rensburg was die enigste vlak 3-skoleruiter. Sy het al die pryse vir die dag ingepalm.

In die ope staan die Plasies ook nie terug nie. Op vlak 1 kry Dawid van Jaarsveld met Robyn ‘n algehele vierde plek, Mernique Potgieter met Blurrito ‘n sesde plek, Deonett e Erasmus ‘n sewende plek en Genevieve van der Mer-we ‘n negende plek. Op vlak 2 is Wandri Janse van Rensburg met Pagani die reserwe-kam-pioen en ook algeheel tweede. Theo van der Merwe het die derde plek behaal.

Anri Janse van Rensburg het aan die einde van die dag, onder toejuiging van ‘n groot groep Plasie-ondersteuners, as kampioen weg-gestap, met Genevieve van der Merwe die reserwe-kampioen.

Ruiters palm pryse in

Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het Vrydag (2 Februarie) aan ‘n vriendskaplike atletiekbyeen-koms wat deur die Hoërskool Ben Viljoen in Groblersdal aangebied is, deelgeneem. Die deelnemende hoërskole was Lydenburg, Mid-delburg, Generaal Hertzog, Curro Brackenfell en Ligbron.

Die Vossies het uitstekend ge-presteer en 44 medaljes verower (12 goud, 16 silwer en 16 brons). Drie byeenkomsrekords is ook deur Vossies verplett er: Jolandi van der Merwe, meisies o.14 in die spiesgooi (35,79 m) en Tristin du Preez, seuns o.17 in die spies-gooi (55,85 m).

Die afgelope Saterdag het die Hoërskool Merensky se bergfi ets- span aan die Makulu 5-wedren in Polokwane deelgeneem. Dié half-marathon dien as ‘n kwalifi seerder vir Limpopo-kleure.

Die ryers het goed gepresteer. In die o.14-kategorie het Bevan Mul-ler ‘n derde plek ingeneem. In die o.15/o.16-afdeling het Sheldon Muller ‘n eerste plek en Armand Cronjé ‘n derde plek verwerf. Die o.17/o.18-ryers het eweneens goed gepresteer, met Natasha Janse van Rensburg in die derde plek, Bernice Cronjé vierde en Chelsea Schlebusch in die vyfde plek.

Die Hoërskool Merensky het Saterdag die hoërskole Rob Fer-reira, Frans du Toit, Louis Trich-ardt, Barberton en Tom Naudé as gaste by die Laeveld Prestige Atletiekbyeenkoms ontvang.

Na ‘n snikhete dag van goeie atletiek, begeesterde sang en heelwat nuwe rekords het Mer-ensky met 850 punte gewys wie is baas. Rob Ferreira het kort op hul hakke met 824 punte in die

tweede plek geeïndig.Merensky-atlete wat weer-

eens uitstekend gepresteer het, is Christelle Coetzer (jun-ior victrix ludorum), Sancha van Niekerk (senior victrix lu-dorum) en Noko Malatji (senior victor ludorum).

Plasieland se vertoonkas het Saterdag ook 147 medaljes ry-ker geword: 58 goud, 49 silwer en 40 brons.

Jeanne-mari de Jonge, Elzette van Dyk, Anri Janse van Rensburg, Kudu (perd), Elzanne Engel- brecht, Verena van Heerden en Clariska Venter is van die Plasies se trotse ruiters.

Verskeie atlete van die Laerskool Tzaneen het puik prestasies by die atletiekbyeenkomste by Drakensig- en Gravelotte-laerskole behaal. Hier is (voor) Nhluvuko Shiviri (junior victor ludorum by Gravelotte), Ndzalo Makhubele (junior victor ludorum by Drakensig) en Precious Makhube-le (junior victrix ludorum). Agter is Elandri J van Rensburg (beste veldatleet) en Jappie Makhubele (senior victor ludorum).

Die Hoërskool Merensky se 1ste krieketspan het Saterdag in Potchefstroom teen die Hoër Volkskool te staan gekom, in die Superli-ga-reeks.

Merensky het eerste gaan kolf en ‘n noemens- waardige 233 lopies vir slegs 3 paaltjies in 50 boulbeurte aangeteken. Kolwers wat hulle uitstekend van hul taak gekwyt het is Timothy Elphinstone met 77 lopies en Salman Ishani en Nyiko Shikwambana met onderskeidelik 71 en 45 lopies.

Volkskool het daarna gaan kolf en 120 lopies in 22 boulbeurte aangeteken, voor dit begin reën het (Merensky se o.15-span moes ook die vorige week die knie buig vir moeder natuur in Potchefstroom). Die wedstryd is gestaak en die Duckworth-Lewis- formule is gevolg en het bepaal dat Volkskool die wedstryd met 33 lopies wen.

Volkskool se o.15-span het op Merensky se tuisveld gespeel en 311 lopies vir 10 paaltjies na 47 boulbeurte behaal. Merensky kon egter net 82 lopies vir 10 paaltjies na 29 boulbeurte aanteken met Rinus Jacobs, MC Claasen en Doran Kleynhans wat moedig geveg het.


Verstommende aksie in twee van die skouspelagtigste sportsoorte ter wêreld word dié naweek regstreeks op televisie uitgesaai.

Die krieket, tennis en gholf sal opwindend wees, maar die dekking van die Olimpiese Jeug-winterspele in Noorweë en die Wêreldbeker-duikkampioenskappe in Rio de Janeiro sal baie kykers se asem wegslaan.

Dat die twee T20-wedstryde tussen Suid-Afrika en Engeland se krieketspanne boaan die naweek se kyklys is, is nie altemit nie, maar sportliefhebbers wat werklik iets besonders wil sien, kan gerus na die skiërs en duikers kyk.

Die binnemuurse atletiek in Glasgow, wat ook regstreeks uitgesaai word, behoort ŉ voorsmaak te verskaf van wat later vanjaar in die Olimpiese Spele verwag kan word.

En dan is daar ook ŉ kragmeting met ŉ sterk intervarsity-atmosfeer — ŉ Premierliga-sokkerwedstryd tussen Wits en die Universiteit van Pretoria.

Merensky High School’s archery club was named the best countrywide school club in 2015. To date a number of prom-ising archers joined the club and 2016 looks promising.

Recently captains Jan-co Theron and Beneche Jackson led a team of twenty well-prepared archers to a two-day challenge ABO/3Di Tri-ple Crown Leg 1 com-petition, held outside Pretoria.

The competition was set in a natural hunting environment and varied in distance from 1 to 4 km. Archers were re-quired to shoot from pegs in the ground as well as estimate a range of distances.

Merensky archers returned triumphant, with Beneche and Ryan Jackson att aining

Protea qualifying scores. Provincial qualifi -ers were achieved by Renart Botha, Carissa Ivy, Lin-Mari Theron, André van der Merwe, Ryan Jackson and Janco Theron.

A gold medal was won by Ryan Jackson

19 Februarie 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!

Is Oubal nou die afge-lope week vanuit alle oorde getorriseer oor hy verlede week Chris Mor-ris se waarde bevraag- teken het!

‘Tja, laat Oubal dan sommer vanuit die staanspoor, soos ‘n Stel-lenbosse meisie wat haar gesig pers geverf het, om verskoning vra vir die persepsie dat hy Morris geminag het.

Maar Oubal wil sy hordes kritici mooi vra om weer te gaan lees wat hy geskryf het, met die spesifi eke verwysing na wie hy in toetskrieket verkies om vir sy lewe te kolf en boul. Toets-krieket, daarby staan Ou-bal soos ‘n onverkwiklike universiteitsowerheid!

HeldedaadNietemin, Oubal dink

dat Morris selfs diegene wat so heft ig kritiseer, verbaas het. Dat sy 62 lopies om SA se kastai-ings uit die vuur te krap ‘n heldedaad van Lance Klusener proporsies was, is daar geen twyfel oor nie. Dat dit die Pro-teas in ‘n posisie geplaas het om die amperse on-moontlike reg te kry om die eendagreeks teen Engeland te wen, word net oortref deur die fantastiese swak veldw-erk deur die Engelse self!

Oubal sal selfs so groot wees om ook die Delhi Daredevils wat die $1m vir Morris uitgehaal het om verskoning te vra, oor hy hulle beskul-dig het van minder van geld weet as Dwaal-boom-beesboere. Maar laat ons nie vergeet nie dat dieselfde DD R5m vir JP Duminy betaal het. Daredevils inderdaad, want Oubal weet nie meer watt er kant toe met dominee JP nie.

SinneloosIn dieselfde wedstryd

loop staan en hardloop die onboetvaardige predikant vir AB uit met ‘n sinnelose steellopie. Het hy nog die verant-woordelikheidsin gehad om self voort te gaan om die wedstryd vir ons te beklink, sou Oubal nog Calvinistiese vergifnis oorweeg het, maar ‘n paar balle later gooi hy sy eie paaltjie weg en los dit vir die stert om ons sterte te red. G’n wonder die

keurders het hom weg- gelaat vir die eindstryd op Nuweland nie — een van die min sinvolle dinge wat hulle hierdie seisoen gedoen het.

‘Tja, Oubal weet nie of hy die keurders moet loof of kasty met hul keuses deur die reeks nie. Oubal is nie seker of hulle besig is om te eksperimenteer met spankeuses, of bloot soos ‘n blinde hoender soms ‘n mieliepit raak pik nie.

Geen hondeKokkie het sy waarde

as paaltjiewagterkolwer meer as bewys in die reeks en moes nooit weg-gelaat gewees het na ver-lede jaar se WB nie. Hy moet egter verbied word om met sy Jack Russels te gaan stap.

Soos die stryd op Nu-weland bewys het, kan ons nie klaarkom sonder die AA nie — AB en Amla. Faf bring meestal sy kant. So ook Abbott onder die boulers, en Tahir soms. Die groot ju-weel in ons boulkroon is ongetwyfeld Rabada, en Oubal wonder hoeveel miljoen hy op ‘n Indiese veiling sou haal!

Maar dis met die soge-naamde vyfde bouler wat die keurders blindweg rondgepik het.

Sokkies optrekJP en Behardien saam

is nie eers ‘n sewende bouler werd nie en bei-de behoort met erkende middelorde kolwers soos Riley Rossouw en David Miller vervang te word, mits hulle hul kolfsokkies optrek en op voorwaarde dat “ander as krieketredes” nie dik-teer vir een of albei se in-sluiting nie.

‘Tja, maar dis met Da-vid Wiese en miljoen-dollar Morris as alsydige spelers dat die blinde keurders uiteindelik raakgepik het. Morris lyk meer na ‘n kolwer wat re-delik kan boul en Wiese soos ‘n redelike bouler wat verantwoordelik kan kolf. ‘n Bietjie skaafwerk aan hul bouldissipline en die hele sak mielies sal oopgemaak wees!

“If there is anyone here whom I have not insulted, I beg his pardon.”

Die 62 lopies, man!Die 62 lopies, man!

Heinrich Ackerman, Gunter Heroldt, Lian Jacobs, Thuys Nortje en Phil Junior Ngobeni is van die seuns wat aan die Vossie-tenniskampi-oenskappe deelgeneem het.

Stanford Lake College had anoth-er outstanding day on the athletics track last Thursday, winning the Small Schools’ Inter High comfort-ably. The meeting was hosted by Southern Cross at the Peter Mokaba Athletics Stadium. The athletes were exceptional in the middle distance races and managed top three re-sults in most of them. Relays were also very strong for Stanfordians on the day, winning three relays. A spe-cial mention must go to Lia Revelas (junior victrix ludorum) and Ruben Caroto (junior victor ludorum) for their performances at the event.

Vossies swaai die raketteDie afgelope Saterdag het veertig van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se leerlinge aan die skool se tenniskampi-oenskappe deelgeneem. ‘n Kenmerk van die dag was die klipharde tennis wat gespeel is, en die goeie gees wat op die bane aan albei kante van die nett e geheers het.

Alhoewel die spiere teen die middag seer en die kele droog was weens die erge hitt e, het die spelers die dag baie geniet. Die Vossies is op-gewonde oor die seisoen en volgens hulle gaan die tennis vanjaar behoorlik kook.

Uitspeel- en daag-wedstryde word nog tot volgende week gespeel.

Die Vossie-meisies wat aan die tenniskampi- oenskappe deelgeneem het, is voor: Chanélle Machimane, Pamela Ba-loyi, Mercia Vorster, Zani Vorster, Jozette Oost-huizen en Mariska de la Rey. Agter staan Marli Delport, Sunéll Strydom, Christene Kruger, Grizel Lepart, Suné Bezuiden-hout, Michaela Bekker, Nicole Fourie, Charlize Engelbrecht, Sumari du Plessis en Nadia Paulse.

Jean-Luke le Roux, Ruan Cronje, Gerrit du Toit, Leon Cronje, Pierre Roos en Tshepo Malebati is ook van die Vossies wat aan die skool se tenniskampioenskappe deel-geneem het. Duan Schoeman, Francois

Briërs, Abel Nortje, Hayden Butler en Reu-ben Maritz was besig om tennis op ander bane in die dorp te speel, toe die foto’s geneem is en derhalwe het hulle die groot oomblik misgeloop.

Doran Kleynhans, a Grade 9 swimmer from Merensky High School, will be par-ticipating in the level three swimming cham-pionships to be held from 18 to 22 March in Port Elizabeth. He qualifi ed with an ex-cellent time in the back stroke.
