    Cricket unites youth

    ANGLO AMERICAN

    KUMBA IRON ORES

    Kolomela Mine is proud to

    partner with the Progress

    Cricket Club which is

    situated in Postdene,

    Postmasburg.

    The Kolomela Mine

    donated full cricket equip-

    ment to the club to support

    their vision of striving

    towards the promotion and

    development of cricket in

    Postmasburg. This opportu-

    nity also helps to keep the

    teenagers off the streets and

    away from alcohol and drug

    abuse.

    The clubs mission is to

    give young people in the

    Postmasburg community a

    chance to develop their full

    potential and reach higher

    levels in the game of cricket.

    The Progress Cricket Club

    was established in 2002 and

    is proud of their values: true

    sportsmanship; integrity and

    discipline. The club is the

    only club that plays in the

    Kalahari Sub-union League

    from a disadvantaged

    community.

    The club won the B league

    in 2006-07 and the 2005-06

    six-a-side trophy.

    In 2006, the club was the

    bronze medal winner at the

    Manne Dipico Premier

    Games that were held in De

    Aar and it is currently

    involved in the sub-union A

    league with eight other

    teams.

    Anglo Americans ap-

    proach to community

    development is based on

    understanding the needs of

    the local communities. In

    2013, Anglo American

    reported 340 015 beneficiaries

    of sport, arts, culture and

    heritage projects with a

    global spend estimated at

    R68 372 817 (R6 596 000) which

    was 5% of the annual

    budget.

    Rusty Harmse, the

    chairperson of the Progress

    Cricket Club, said they

    really appreciated the

    support and assistance from

    the Kolomela Mine.

    This will help us grow as

    a club and will give us a big

    boost to make our vision a

    reality.

    We are open to all age

    groups and new members

    are always welcome, since

    our aim is to develop the

    youth.

    Victim and accused bothmissing

    THE Kathu Police need the

    assistance of the public in

    locating two people of

    interest involved in a case

    of attempted rape.

    The incident occurred on

    26 January 2013.

    The victim, Kesaolopa

    Sandrah Mochawe (24), who

    lived at house number 4285

    in Mapoteng near Kathu

    reported an attempted rape

    against Thebha Ndlovu,

    who also hails from

    Mapoteng.

    Ndlovu is originally from

    Zimbabwe.

    Both the victim and

    accused are no longer

    available at their respective

    addresses.

    Their current location is

    important because the case

    needs to be put back on the

    court roll.

    Anyone with information

    with regards to the location

    of these two people can call

    WO Hanekom of the FCS

    Unit on 078-448-7809 or

    053-723-9150 (during office

    hours) at the Kathu Police

    Station.

    Police combat crime

    ) STOLEN PROPERTY

    The Kathu police

    arrested two suspects on

    suspicion of stolen

    property. Sgt Benjamin

    Boorman was patrolling

    the Kathu area when he

    stopped a suspect vehicle

    in Brosdoring Street.

    The vehicle was

    searched and a Samsung

    plasma television was

    found wrapped in a

    blanket.

    The suspects were not

    able to give a reasonable

    account with regards to

    the ownership of the

    television.

    The two suspects were

    then arrested for the

    possession of possible

    stolen property. The case

    is currently still under

    investigation.

    ) The Kathu police are

    investigating a case of

    possession of stolen

    property after two female

    suspects were arrested on

    6 June at approximately

    13:00 at the Kathu Village

    Mall.

    The suspects were

    allegedly found in

    possession of stolen

    clothes and toiletries to

    the value of R1 745,54.

    )Housebreaking

    The Kathu police are

    investigating a case of

    housebreaking at 24

    Esdoring Street in Kathu.

    Johnny Mamapula saw

    a suspicious looking

    person at his neighbours

    house, and contacted the

    complainant.

    After it was ascertained

    that the suspect was on

    the premises without the

    owners consent, the

    complainant contacted

    the Kathu Police.

    The suspect was located

    by Const. Shadrack

    Basiretsi after he had

    received a description of

    the suspect.

    The suspect was

    searched and stolen cash

    and jewellery was found

    in the suspects posses-

    sion. The suspect was

    then arrested.

    The Kathu Police want

    to thank Mamapula for

    his alertness and encour-

    ages the Kathu commu-

    nity to follow his exam-

    ple.

    ) Serious traffic accident

    The Kathu police are

    investigating a serious

    accident that occurred on

    9 June on the N14 route.

    A silver Ford Mondeo

    allegedly overtook a

    Scania truck whilst there

    was oncoming traffic. The

    Ford Mondeo collided

    with an oncoming

    Volkswagen Golf, and the

    impact caused the Ford

    to also collide with the

    truck.

    The two drivers of the

    sedans passed away at

    the scene of the accident.

    The Volkswagen Golfs

    passenger was seriously

    injured and was taken to

    hospital. The identity of

    the passenger is un-

    known.

    The Kathu Police are

    still trying to contact the

    families of the deceased.

    OUR PEOPLE

    Station bids farewell to Koopman

    Ilse Watson

    A SMILE costs nothing but gives

    much. It reaches those who receive

    without making poorer those who

    give it. It takes a moment but the

    memory sometimes lasts a lifetime.

    The memory of Col Sampie

    Koopman will last a lifetime.

    With dignity, grace, integrity and

    humility he steered the Kuruman

    police for the past four years as

    their commander.

    Last Thursday several members

    of the Kuruman police and other

    cluster commanders paid tribute to

    Koopman during a farewell func-

    tion.

    He has been transferred to

    Upington where he will be the

    station commander.

    It is an honour to be here today

    and we dont want you to leave but

    we know you must. We are losing a

    great man. Well let you go, but we

    know you will come back to

    Kuruman, said John Valtyn,

    cluster chairperson.

    Koopman made remarkable

    changes and led by example.

    He showed colleagues the way

    forward.

    He believed in discipline and

    enforced it on police members. He

    expected only the best from his

    staff.

    Lt Col Cecilia Kgobe, cluster

    commander of Kathu, told guests

    that Koopman was a no-nonsense

    person.

    His footprints will remain in

    Kuruman. Go, my brother; I know

    you will come back.

    In his speech at the function

    Koopman mentioned that people

    should never forget their roots.

    I am writing my life essay. I am

    proud to say that I know I made a

    difference here. Your rank is not

    important, who you are as a human

    being, is. You must set an example

    for your colleagues.

    He also said that there was a

    perception amongst community

    members that the Kuruman police

    delivered a bad service.

    He asked current members of the

    police to change that perception in

    the community.

    Action is the dignity of great-

    ness. That should be your motto

    here. Without action, nothing will

    change. The Kuruman police is

    under-staffed and cannot cope with

    all the work in this area but if

    everyone does their part, they can

    make a difference.

    I thank everyone who worked

    with me. I thank the station

    commanders and cluster command-

    ers of Kathu and Postmasburg for

    their positive attitude and support.

    I am just a phone call away call

    me any time for advice or help.

    he also thanked her for her support. Photos: Ilse Watson

    bederf.

    Of om ten minste bystand-per-

    soneel vir my driejarige seun te

    wees wanneer hy vir Pappa en

    Oupa ontbyt maak.

    N n relatiewe vreesaanjaen-

    de kombuisondervinding het my

    seun plegtig die skinkborde

    (met n klein bietjie hulp)

    vroegoggend by die pas gaan

    aflewer.

    En natuurlik die tradisionele

    handgemaakte geskenk.

    Pappa kry n das gemaak

    van n koevert en Oupa kry n

    prentjie van n halfherkenbare

    perd.

    Tesame met die oorhandiging

    van die geskenke, kry albei

    natuurlik n vet soen. En saam

    met die vet soen, n lekker dosis

    kleuterskoolgriep.

    Dit is opsluit ook die seisoen

    vir griep-geskenkies wat die

    kinders vir hul ouers van die

    skool af bring.

    Maar dit is hoekom goeie pas

    van alle generasies n sen vir

    hul gesinne is.

    Hoewel hulle die volgende dag

    met loopneuse en waterige o

    opgestaan het, het hulle net

    komplimente oor die vorige dag

    se groot bederf gehad.

    en dun, by my gestaan het.

    Hy het my toegelaat om my

    eie foute te maak en is daar om

    die stukke op te tel as dinge nie

    uitwerk nie.

    En natuurlik is hy die beste

    oupa vir wie n kleinseun kan

    vra.

    Gewoonlik begin Vadersdag

    met ontbyt in die bed (wat Ma

    help maak) en dan die geskenk.

    Ons is n kunstige huisgesin,

    en Seun het Vadersdag as die

    perfekte geleentheid gesien om

    sy talent in die vorm van

    prentjiegeskenke vir die pas te

    gebruik.

    Nou is die Vadersdag-bederf

    al n jare lange tradisie in ons

    familie.

    Ek en die gesin het juis mooi

    beplan om vanjaar tydens

    Vadersdag by my familie in

    Pretoria te gaan kuier.

    So kan ek sommer die

    spreekwoordelike twee vlie

    met een klap-tegniek gebruik

    om die twee pas in my lewe te

    Benneli Olivier

    Van der Walt

    VADERSDAG. n Dag waarop

    kinders van alle ouderdomme n

    geleentheid kry om vir hul pa

    dankie te s vir die baie

    maniere waarop hulle n mens

    se lewe verryk.

    My pa is nog altyd en sal

    altyd n inspirasie vir my bly.

    Hy het verlede jaar n 45 jaar

    in die Kruger- Nasionale Park

    afgetree.

    Tydens sy tyd in die park het

    hy verskeie kere toeriste en

    kollegas gehelp sonder om

    daaroor te kla.

    Weens sy werk kon ek saam

    met my gesin in n unieke en

    pragtige omgewing grootword

    met ondervindings wat min

    mense ooit sal beleef.

    Een van sy vele sgoed,

    vriendelikheid kos niks, sal

    my altyd bybly en kom my goed

    te staan in my werk en alle-

    daagse lewe.

    Met soveel onsekerheid, weet

    ek dat ek altyd op my pa kan

    staatmaak.

    Die meeste van sy grys hare

    is my skuld, maar hy is die

    mens wat nog altyd, deur dik

    Polisieho

    wat omgee

    KURUMAN se verlies is Upington

    se wins.

    Kol. Sampie Koopman, stasiebe-

    velvoerder van die Kuruman-poli-

    siekantoor, is op pad terug na sy

    wortels.

    Hierdie besonderse man is

    terugverplaas na Upington, waar

    hy grootgeword het, om daar die

    leisels as stasiebevelvoerder oor te

    neem.

    In die vier jaar dat hy hierdie

    pos in Kuruman beklee het, het

    hy n groot verskil gemaak.

    Koopman was nie altyd gewild

    onder polisielede in Kuruman nie,

    omdat hy in dissipline glo en

    streng is wat dit betref.

    Veiligheidskenners sal getuig

    dat wetstoepassing sonder dissipli-

    ne gedoem is. Die polisie in ons

    land en streek veg reeds n baie

    moeilike stryd met misdaad wat

    plek-plek buite beheer is. Juis

    daarom is dissipline so belangrik.

    Koopman is n mens wat plat op

    die aarde is. Nooit sal hy die

    telefoon as kolonel beantwoord

    nie. Dit is altyd net Koopman,

    n duidelike aanduiding dat dit vir

    di man nie gaan oor rang of

    belangrikheid nie, maar oor die

    gehalte van die mens.

    n Ander sterk punt van

    Koopman is dat hy besef hoe

    noodsaaklik goeie kommunikasie

    in die stryd teen misdaad is.

    Hy het goeie verhoudinge met

    die Bulletin in Kuruman gehand-

    haaf en die koerant onder meer

    saamgeneem op daggaklopjagte,

    wat die koerant in staat gestel het

    om eerstehands oor die gebeure

    verslag te kon doen.

    Die media is n uiters belangri-

    ke vennoot in die misdaadstryd,

    en deur joernaliste insig te gee in

    die uitdagings waarmee die polisie

    te doen het kan beriggewing oor

    misdaad net verbeter word.

    Dit strek Koopman tot eer dat

    hy besorg is oor die beeld van die

    polisie en dat dit hom pla as die

    publiek onder die indruk verkeer

    dat die polisie se dienslewering

    swak is.

    Hy streef dan ook daarna om

    polisielede te motiveer om seker

    te maak dat hulle goeie diens

    lewer.

    Die Bulletin wil vandag hulde

    bring aan polisielede soos Koop-

    man vir wie dit n saak van erns

    is om die gemeenskap te dien en

    seker te maak dat die stryd teen

    misdaad gewen word.

    Hy word alles van die beste in

    sy nuwe pos toegewens.

    Ons leweword deur

    branders glad gemaak

    IN Kaliforni is n strand wat as

    Pebble Beach bekend staan. Die

    branders slaan met soveel krag

    teen die strand dat die klippies

    gedurig teen mekaar en teen die

    rotse skuur en dit maak hulle glad,

    blink en mooi.

    n Medeleraar van die Birchleigh-

    gemeente, Hennie van Wyk, het di

    storie gestuur.

    Toeriste kom van ver om na

    Pebble Beach se mooi, gladde

    klippies te kyk en dit as aanden-

    kings saam te neem huis toe.

    Teleurstelling en tespoed kan ook

    in ons lewe, in ons karakter en

    gedrag, n soortgelyke invloed h.

    Die komponis Hndel het eens

    wanhopig in Londen se strate

    rondgedwaal. Hy was bankrot en

    het verwerp deur almal gevoel. Een

    oggend keer hy terug na sy ysige

    kamer. Op die tafel l n dik

    koevert, n libretto, n vokale

    musiekstuk wat Charles Jennens

    uit Bybelverse saamgestel het.

    Verwese, honger en koud blaai

    Hndel lusteloos deur die lang

    werk. Die woorde voor hom laat

    hom regop sit. Dit is die Ou-Testa-

    mentiese voorspelling van die

    geboorte van Christus: Raadsman,

    sterke God, Vredevors.

    Opgewonde lees hy verder hoe

    Hy deur die mense verag en

    verwerp sou word. Die woorde dat

    sy Verlosser leef en die Koning van

    konings is, word in sy siel inge-

    brand. Hndel gryp n potlood en

    gaan sit voor die klavier. Twee

    weke lank werk hy feitlik on-

    onderbroke en gee gestalte aan Die

    Messias. N twee weke nooi hy n

    vriend en met trane in sy o vertel

    hy hoe die skepping van die

    Hallelujakoor hom laat voel het

    asof hy self in die hemel is en hy

    God voor hom sien.

    Die eerste uitvoering van Die

    Messias was in Dublin en die

    gehoor se reaksie was oorwel-

    digend. So ook in Londen n paar

    weke later.

    Die Engelse koning het self die

    uitvoering bygewoon en meegevoer

    deur die Hallelujakoor het hy

    opgestaan en die gehoor het sy

    voorbeeld gevolg.

    Tot vandag toe oor die wreld

    heen staan die gehore op as die

    Hallelujakoor gespeel en gesing

    word. Later was George Frederick

    Hndel weer arm, blind en siek,

    maar sy omstandighede sou nooit

    weer sy gees knak nie.

    Sywil n verskil maak

    ANNEMIE VAN HUYSSTEEN van

    Kathu is gekies om deel te wees van

    die Out of Africa Winter Queen

    Pageant 2014 wat van 26 tot 30

    Augustus gehou word.

    Van Huyssteen was verlede jaar n

    finalis in die Mevrou Verenigde

    Nasies Suid-Afrika-kompetisie en het

    boonop die direkteurseerbewys in

    di kompetisie ontvang.

    Die Out of Africa Winter Queen

    Pageant fokus daarop om n verskil

    in die wreld teweeg te bring. Een

    van die belangrikste aspekte van die

    kompetisie is om by die plaaslike

    gemeenskap betrokke te raak.

    Gemeenskapswerk l Van Huys-

    steen na aan die hart en sy sien

    kompetisies as n platform van waar

    sy haar gemeenskap kan help.

    Van Huyssteen beplan op 28 Junie

    n groot motorskou op Fit It se

    perseel as deel van haar gemeen-

    skapsuitreik-aksie. Groot pryse is op

    die spel. Mense wat stalletjies wil

    bedryf of n motor het om te vertoon

    kan Van Huyssteen vir meer

    inligting kontak.

    Van Huyssteen en haar dogter

    Janeske het onlangs die susters en

    pasinte van die Mediclinic Kathu

    met n besoek verras. Die twee het

    kaartjies van bemoediging en n

    sjokolade aan almal daar uitgedeel.

    Volgens Van Huyssteen was dit

    lekker om aan die personeel dankie

    te kon s en die pasinte se dag te

    kon opvrolik.

    Van Huyssteen help maandeliks

    minstens vyf behoeftige gesinne op

    die dorp met klere, kos en speelgoed.

    Die benodigdhede word deur die

    plaaslike gemeenskap geborg.

    Die projek Drive for Toys moedig

    die gemeenskap van Kathu aan om

    skenkings aan behoeftiges te doen.

    Hoewel Van Huyssteen heeltyds

    werk en die normale verpligtinge

    van enige ma het, laat sy nie toe dat

    die verantwoordelikhede haar

    onderkry nie.

    Ons is almal n talent of twee in

    die lewe gegee. Ek is die slaaf wat

    woeker daarmee om vir my Koning

    meer te kan teruggee.

    Drome bestaan nie om gedroom

    te word nie, maar om uitgeleef te

    word. Indien jy daardeur goed kan

    doen, is dit n bonus. Elke dag wat

    n mens iets kleins vir n ander kan

    doen, is n perfekte dag.

    Die Out of Africa Winter Queen-fi-

    naliste moet vanjaar ook borge vir

    die Childhood Cancer Foundation of

    South Africa (CHOC) insamel. Haar

    mikpunt is om R16 000 vir die

    organisasie in te samel.

    Belangstellendes kan Van Huys-

    steen by 081-468-4887 bel.

    Chess changesmindset

    Kelvin Kemm

    CHILDREN in schools in the

    Hotazel and Kuruman regions

    have been playing the game of

    chess for some time now as part

    of their maths and science

    training.

    The programme is run from

    Pretoria by the Moves For Life

    (MFL) organisation. This has been

    made possible by a sponsorship

    from the BHP Billiton Maganese

    Division.

    MFL area manager, Petra

    Flemming, reports that the

    teachers and the learners are now

    so enthusiastic about chess that

    they dont want to go home after

    the chess lessons.

    Teachers report a remarkable

    difference in the children attend-

    ing chess classes. At the Sedibeng

    Primary School there are 445

    learners now attending chess

    classes. A teacher at the school

    reports that school discipline has

    improved remarkably since chess

    was introduced. Part of the chess

    protocol is good manners and

    respect. All players are required

    to shake hands before and after

    every game.

    Moremi says that the pro-

    gramme develops learning skills

    and that concentration, compre-

    hension and reasoning are clearly

    improving amongst the learners.

    This is great news for MFL

    because that is part of their

    objective.

    Learner attitude to work is a

    major factor in school perform-

    ance. A teacher of the Maipeing

    Primary School has also reported

    a visible improvement in learner

    attitude. She tells the story of a

    13-year-old learner, Ontlametse

    Mosetlhatsela from Kanana

    Village, who learned to play

    under the MFL system and is now

    so keen that he now helps teach

    the younger children.

    MFL provided Mosetlhatsela

    with a thrilling opportunity by

    sending him to Kimberley to play

    in a tournament there. It was the

    first time he travelled that far.

    A teacher of the Nweng

    Primary School relates that

    certain children who were

    uncooperative in class before are

    now cooperating and achieving

    success with new-found self-confi-

    dence.

    He says that learners enjoy

    doing maths on the demonstration

    chess board.

    This is excellent news because

    part of the chess programme

    teaches the children to imagine

    the layout of graphs and geome-

    try.

    Familiarity with the layout of a

    chess board makes a transition to

    maths graphs so much easier.

    The MFL programme now has

    over 45 000 children in its chess

    classes across the country.

    The success in implementation

    is very much dependent on the

    enthusiasm of the MFL area

    managers and in particular the

    teachers at the schools

    ) Dr Kelvin Kemm is a Moves

    For Life (MFL) trustee in Preto-

    ria.

    THE MFL chess programme develops learning skills, concentration, com-

    prehension and reasoning in learners.

    LAST week the Gamagara Develop-

    ment Forum (GDF) officially handed

    over the Tebogo Phuduhudu

    Resources Centre to the Northern

    Cape Kathu FET College.

    The centres construction started

    in 2012. It has 45 computers with

    internet facilities and also serves as

    a reading space for students at the

    Kathu FET College.

    The GDF specifically launched the

    centre to coincide with the 1976

    Soweto protest memorial.

    Representatives from several

    Northern Cape FET colleges

    attended the hand-over ceremony.

    Ivan Steenkamp was the pro-

    gramme director of the day and

    Richard Okhaa from the Sesheng

    Intermediate School near Kathu

    opened the ceremony with a prayer.

    Thabo Magopa, a senior lecturer

    at the Kathu FET College, said this

    was a historic event for their

    institution.

    Through this resource centre, we

    will become what we need to be

    successful in this day and age.

    Lepulane Maboshego, the CEO of

    the GDF, said students should make

    full use of the opportunities

    available to them.

    This resource centre will be a

    big step in continuing the struggle

    for economic emancipation and

    academic growth.

    Percy Sago, the CEO of the

    Northern Cape FET colleges, said

    the resource centre should be

    utilised to further students

    language, mathematical and

    scientific knowledge.

    He also thanked all the parties

    involved in the construction and

    funding of the centre.

    Mabel Molale, mother of Tebogo

    Phuduhudu, thanked the college for

    the honour of naming the centre

    after her son.

    Phuduhudu died on 26 March

    2012.

    Suid-Afrikaanse

    topverkoperlys

    vir boeke in alle

    tale is.

    Net onder

    (heelwat onder,

    moet ek in alle

    beskeidenheid

    byvoeg) die

    internasionale

    treffer The Da

    Vinci Code.

    Maar terwyl

    ek nog wik en

    weeg of dit n

    geldige verskoning is om n bottel regte-egte Franse

    sjampanje oop te maak, sien ek dat dit die topverko-

    perlys vir fiksie is.

    En Die hart van ons huis soos n Fontein voor

    ons deur is nie-fiksie. Of is dit?

    Ek weet regtig nie op watter rak n Fontein voor

    ons deur hoort nie.

    As ek gedwing word om dit in een (erg onweten-

    skaplike) frase op te som sal ek s dis nog n ligharti-

    ge relaas oor my onidilliese lewe in n idilliese

    landskap, n verdere poging om die Provensaalse

    legende van laventel en pastis te ondergrawe, n

    trekstorie met vele Franse kinkels.

    Anders gestel, liewe leser, Griet het lankal nie

    meer tyd om sprokies te skryf nie.

    Die regte lewe het n veeleisende, uitputtende,

    immer verrassende, nimmer vervelige sage geword.

    Besluit maar self op watter rak jy daarvoor gaan

    soek!

    n Fontein voor ons deur is een van

    die beste bundels wat die afgelope

    jaar verskyn het.

    Poetry collection first in years

    THE book, Kaar, by Marlene van

    Niekerk is the first poetry

    collection in 30 years by an

    outstanding South African

    author. The poems in this

    collection are varied. The themes

    range from nature to the

    personal, from seriousness to

    playfulness and light-hearted

    satire. This book is a wealthy

    and wonderful collection. In 2014

    it won both the Hertzog and

    University of Johannesburg prize

    for poetry.

    Studie van die gesig

    WAT is die X-faktor wat

    jou dadelik van sekere

    mense laat hou, terwyl jy

    weer met die eerste

    oogopslag wt dat jy glad

    nie met ander individue

    oor die weg gaan kom nie?

    Legkaart van jou gesig bied

    n inleiding tot fisionomie

    (studie van die gesig) aan

    wat die teorie agter elke

    gelaatstrek verduidelik en

    bevat praktiese wenke oor

    hoe om jou ware self weer

    te ontdek, effektiewe

    kommunikasie te bevorder

    en hoe om verhoudinge te

    versterk.

    Die boek is n praktiese

    gids wat in jou persoonlike

    lewe sowel as werkplek

    gebruik kan word. Ontdek

    die geheime boodskap wat

    skuil agter n skalkse

    glimlag of n kwaai

    fronsplooi.
