From page 1The property is set to be sold by public

auction in due course. The date for the auctionhas not been confirmed as yet.To a question about the perceived possible

interest of Dr Mathole Motshekga in the mat-ter, he reiterated that he was appointed in thematter. Murray added that Motshekga was anon-executive director of Sechaba Trust, whichhas not involved in the matter. Motshekga did

not have any input in the handling of the case,he concluded.When approached with questions on the

issue, Polokwane Sheriff Anna Ralehlaka saidshe could not comment on the matter.

From page 1it is evident that the institution is due for aturn-around strategy where its finances areconcerned. The audit resulted in an AG dis-claimer.Among the first issues highlighted are a

significant number of land and buildings notincluded in the financial statements. “Themunicipality did not perform a reconciliationbetween the financial statements and theunderlying accounting records to ensure thatland and buildings were completely recorded.”It is further stated that the AG was unable toobtain sufficient appropriate audit evidenceon the completeness of land and buildingsstated at R2 311 446 427. “Included in landand buildings stated at R2 311 446 427, is landvalued at R677 770 349 which could not rec-oncile with the underlying accounting recordsby R326 255 034. The municipality could notprovide any explanations or supporting docu-mentation regarding this difference.”Further issues raised also entail revenue

matters. Included in revenue from servicecharges of R781 281 433 are consumer ac-counts that have been incorrectly billed by themunicipality which has resulted in under andover billings of R13 169 936 and R53 244 379respectively, according to the report. An ad-ditional 20 842 consumer accounts were identi-fied on the billing system as not reconciling tothe meter readings as provided by the metrereaders for the months of May and June, it waspointed out. “Management had not quantifiedthe extent of these disagreements with regardto the readings.”

Revenue from service charges relating topre-paid electricity to the value of R18 422 824that were not recorded in the financial state-ments of the municipality were identified. Thesame counts for a further 1 219 consumer ac-counts not recorded in the accounting systemor accounted for in the financial statements.It was stressed that the valuation of proper-

ties of R45 billion includes an unexplaineddifference between the municipal valuation rolland the financial statements amounting toR45 152 569. “The municipality did not recon-cile the difference of R45 152 569 between thefinancial statements and the valuation roll.”With regards to employee costs, it was re-

iterated that a significant amount of paymentsthat were made to individuals who were nolonger in the employ of the municipality hadbeen identified. Due to the inadequate designof internal controls over payments to employ-ees, it was not possible to quantify the extentof occurrences of such payments and therelated impact on the employee cost amount-ing to R399 033 020.Another factor the Auditor-General was un-

able to obtain sufficient and appropriate auditevidence on was a staff leave balance ofR43 831 646, as mentioned in the report.It was simultaneously noted that no system

was in place for the identification and recogni-tion of irregular expenditure of R204 583 926and there were no satisfactory alternativeaudit procedures that could be performed toobtain reasonable assurance that all irregularexpenditure was properly recorded.On financial and performance management

it was pointed out that the acting chief finan-cial officer (CFO) was not able to ensure thecompilation of credible and reliable financialstatements for the financial year under review,that financial statements and other informationto be included in the annual report were notreviewed for accuracy and completeness bythe accounting officer, that controls over dailyand monthly processing and reconciling oftransactions were not implemented by the ac-counting officer, that compliance with laws andregulations was not reviewed and monitoredby the accounting officer and that the processof implementing a new billing system towardsthe end of the financial year was not well con-sidered and managed to ensure that customeraccounts were accurate and complete.In conclusion reference was made to the

investigation conducted by an independentconsulting firm on request of the municipality.The investigation was initiated based on theallegation of possible irregular payments ofovertime, payments of leave encashment andon the financial misconduct on the then CFO.The investigation resulted in the dismissal ofthe CFO. Proceedings involving other employ-ees were still in progress at the reporting date.“An investigation is being conducted by an

independent consulting firm on request of themunicipality. The investigation was initiatedbased on the allegation of possible supplymanagement irregularities and the possibilityof payments to ghost employees. The investi-gation was still ongoing at the reporting date.”(See interview with Polokwane Executive

Mayor Freddy Greaver elsewhere)

tions Manager, Mantlhako Sebaka said theywere approached by LTA to partner withthem in bringing the set for 23 March to theprovince.“LTA is leading in the process and we are

willing to provide support. This is a clearindication that we should not fold our arms ortry to deny our people an opportunity to seethe national team playing here. We would haveloved to have as many matches as possible atthe stadium, but remember we are a munici-pality. We need to balance the provision of

services and matches,” Sebaka said.Chief Executive Officer of Limpopo Tourism

Agency, Mr Nocks Seabi confirmed that theproposal has already been sent to the SouthAfrican Football Association and they are wait-ing for the response.“Yes we have sent a request to host that

match. We are still waiting for their response.These are the kind of matches that will assistus in marketing the province,” Seabi said. Bafa-na Bafana last played an international match atthe Stadium in 2010 against Guatemala.

Polokwane Municipality’s dream of gettinga clean audit in line with government’sclean audit target of next year has been

dashed for good.This after the richest local municipality

in the province received an embarrassingdisclaimer of opinion audit outcome from theAuditor General, its first in four years and thethird since 2003.Delivering the report to council during

Thursday’s Council meeting, Auditor GeneralSouth Africa (AGSA) representative, Ms UldeShumba said the municipality had been dis-claimed because of a long list of matters.“ The irregular expenditure which consti-

tutes the non-compliances with the supplychain processes as defined in terms of the sup-ply chain regulations and all the policies thatgoverns the process amounted to R154 million,that’s the extent of the irregular expenditurewhich we identified that was not disclosed bymanagement. We also identified fruitless andwasteful expenditure amounting to R692 000,”Shumba said.One of the basis of the opinion was the

municipality’s revenue woes, which accordingto the report includes service charges of morethan R781 000 000 of consumer accountswhich have been incorrectly billed resulting inunder billing of R13 169 936 and over billing ofR53 244 379 while a further 20 8842 accountson the system did not reconcile to the meterreadings for May and June last year.An amount of R140 440 390 was incurred

as unauthorised expenditure while other newqualifications areas were discovered.The report also mentioned an amount of

R85 746 484 which was incurred as a result oflosses incurred during the water and electricitydistribution process, a matter the DemocraticAlliance (DA) Caucus Leader, Cllr Frank Haashas vowed to request Polokwane ExecutiveMayor, Cllr Freddy Greaver’s urgent interven-tion on. “The 39%water loss costs themunicipality an esti-mated R60 million perannum whereas thereis not enough budgetset aside to rectify orsolve the crisis,” Haassaid in a media state-ment released on thematter.

The DA’s Pro-vincial Leader, MrJacques Smalle alsorequested that theHawks open a caseagainst the munici-pality over the auditreport on Monday.“The DA firmlybelieves that the AG’sfindings provide aclear basis for suchgross mismanage-ment. The CriminalInvestigations Agen-cies must now stepin and bring to bookall those officials,

past and present, responsible for this state ofaffairs,” he said.Polokwane Observer met up with

Greaver and the administrative head of theinstitution, the Municipal Manager, Ms ConnyMametja for an interview on the unfortunatereport on Monday and though he reiteratedthat he took responsibility for the matter, heseem to hint on several instances on possiblesabotage.The municipality earned themselves 166

queries and about 58 findings from the AG butMametja said most of the issues flagged couldbe dealt with almost immediately.Greaver said a number of the major issues

mentioned in the AG’s report such as fraud onovertime and ghost workers were not un-covered by the audit but by an investigationconducted by the municipality before, “almosthijacking the cleaning up” the municipality wastrying to do. “It’s not something that surprisesus because it is something that we have found.Then the AG simply took our report and madea finding on that, which is correct, they mustdo it but it is something that we have investi-gated ourselves,” he said.Greaver said during a staff meeting employ-

ees admitted to having ripped of the munici-pality in irregular overtime payments. “Peoplehave bought houses and have bought carsand have embraced a certain lifestyle basedon consistently, I can’t say fraudulent becausethey didn’t defraud, but it was irregular over-time,” he said adding that there was no way hecould have turned a blind eye to the matter.“There are 23 officials who have to be

charged on various things that went wrong.You obviously will have to understand thatthese people are going to hit you wherethey can and perhaps they have succeeded,”Greaver said, however emphasising that hewould not label the situation sabotage.Another noteworthy development was the

asset register which was audited was not theone the municipality had paid Pricewater-houseCoopers to prepare and both Greaver

and Mametja claim to have no knowledge ofwho put the audited one in the municipality’ssystem for the AG to work on.He added that the appointment of the

company contracted to run the municipality’spayroll system was also brought into questionby the municipality’s forensic investigation asthe tender was never public advertised. “Nowhere’s a company that must help us to complywith the AG. If you look at the investigationreport, it questions how this contract waseven signed in fact two of the 23 people whomust be charged are people who have signedthat contract with the authority, they don’thave the authority,without the knowl-edge of the account-ing officer, without ithaving gone out ona public tender. Areyou surprised thenthat we didn’t get thedocuments on time?”he said of the latesubmission of payrolldocuments to the AGthat also proved tobe vital in the auditoutcome.“Maybe ifwe didn’t investigate,maybe we wouldhave had that ontime,” he added.On the millions of

Rand that were lostdue to water andelectricity, Greaversaid the city’s agingwater infrastructureneeded at least R202million to replacethe water pipes andthe municipality hasalso decided to movetowards a smart tech-nology where even

prepaid water would be considers as the highnumber of pipe bursts, leaks, illegal connec-tions and inaccuracy of meter readings were aheadache.Commenting the municipality’s only entity

which he previous described as a liability to themunicipality, Polokwane Housing Association(PHA) Greaver said it was still a liability butone worth having as it had a lot of potential.PHA received qualified audit outcome.Greaver said he was not obsessed with

audit, but the next audit outcome of the mu-nicipality would definitely not be a disclaimer,which is the worst outcome of all.

Die aankondiging van die nuweminimumlone vir plaaswerkersvandeesweek het reeds tot die

afdanking van meer as 2 000 werkersin die landbousektor in Limpopo gelei.Die Transvaalse Landbou-unie van

Suid-Afrika (TLU SA) se president,mnr Louis Meintjies sê die ministervan arbeid, me Mildred Oliphant, hetdie land geen guns bewys deur dieaankondiging nie en het bevestig datmeer as 2 000 werkers van hoofsaaklikvrugteboere in Magoebaskloof en dieGeorge’s-vallei reeds afdankings-briewe ontvang het.“ Verlede jaar is ‘n sektorale vas-

stelling gemaak wat geldig was virdrie jaar. TLU SA is van mening dat,behalwe vir geweld en intimidasie,daar sedert die vasstelling verledejaar niks wesenlik verander het nie.“Nietemin het TLU SA saam met

ander landbou-organisasies tot ’n

verhoging van R80 per dag ingestem,wat ’n styging van meer as 15%, of-tewel byna drie keer die inflasiekoers,sou verteenwoordig. Die minister severhoging van meer as 50% is boenige perk van billikheid en redelik-heid.“Daarbenewens is die tydskaal

wat gegun is om te besin oor die helekwessie, ook nie redelik en billik niemet die gevolg dat die volledige impakdaarvan op landbou nooit tot op diekern nagevors is nie,” meen Meintjies.TLU SA meen die nuwe vasstelling

is die resultaat van onbehoorlike druken intimidasie deur seisoenale werkersen veral klein en opkomende boeresal beslis nie hierdie lone kan bekostignie.Meintjes waarsku dat verdere

arbeidsonrus aangeblaas kan word asboere slegs verhogings aan werkersgee wat op die minimumloonvlak is.“Ander werkers sal ongelukkig wees ashulle kollegas ’n substantiewe salaris-verhoging kry, en hulle nie.”

TLU SA het sy regspan opdraggegee om alle opsies te ondersoek teneinde die aangekondigde minimum-lone ter syde te stel.“4 Februarie 2013 was ‘n donker

dag in die geskiedenis van landbou inSuid-Afrika. Dit sal onthou word as diedag waarop die aangesig van land-bou dramaties verander het,” sê diehoofbestuurder van Agri-Limpopo, mnrDries Enslin.“Die ANC regering het absoluut

geen aandag gegee aan die vertoëwat georganiseerde landbou gerighet nie. ‘n Populistiese besluit hetgeseëvier,” sê hy.Enslin sê Limpopo is bekend vir sy

arbeidsintensiewe boerderysektore.“Dit is die een enkele werkver-

skaffer waar daar nog plek was virongeskoolde werkers. Dit is juis hullewat die spit gaan afbyt.”Agri Limpopo het ‘n beroep op die

provinsiale regering gedoen om metlandbou in gesprek te tree om ‘n rampaf te weer.

Polokwane Municipality has optednot to appoint Ms Dikeledi Thinidisabecause her integrity has remainedquestionable according to PublicProtector Thuli Madonsela.The decision not to employ

her was taken during Thursday’sCouncil meeting after ExecutiveMayor Freddy Greaver said he hadsought advice from Madonsela onThindisa’s possible appointment.Thindisa was shortlisted for the posi-tion of Chief Financial Officer (CFO)and even supposed to be recom-mended for the job after scoringhighest among three candidatesbut her history at the Departmentof Roads and Transport (DRT)where she held the same position,seemed to have boomeranged backto her. She was not directly impli-cated in the Public Protector’s investi-gation report on tender irregularitiesin DRT but formed part of the com-mittee supposed to have beencharged by then Department HeadNtau Letebele.According to a letter from

Muni dropsthindisa


The Department of Education (DOE)has admitted that the DemocraticAlliance’s (DA) revelation that someschools still have not received all theirtextbooks, is true.Departmental Spokesperson, Mr

Pat Kgomo admitted that the depart-ment had communicated to schoolsthat it was aware of the matter. He atthe same time lashed out at the DAfor exposing the issue. “It is unfortu-nate that the DA uses a letter directedto parents to score political points. Wehave communicated the fact that weare aware that there is shortage inAfrikaans medium of instruction booksand we are attending to the matter.

We are continually briefing schools onthe progress. So, it makes no sensethat when the principal informs theparents, the DA uses that as official,”Pat Kgomo said.DA Provincial Leader, Mr Jacques

Smalle said in a media statementissued yesterday (Wednesday) thatschools in Modjadjiskloof have notreceived textbooks. “Schools in theModjadjiskloof area and elsewhere inLimpopo have not received a singletextbook for core subjects two monthsinto the school year. This situation wasrevealed by a letter to parents andlearners by a despondent school prin-cipal of Duiwelskloof Primary School.In the letter, the principal apologisesto parents and the learners of hisschool for the fact that there are still

no textbooks,” the statement read.Smalle said the party would also

be writing to the Education PortfolioCommittee Chairperson in ProvincialLegislature, Ms Joy Maluleke request-ing her to intervene and call thedepartment to account. “To compoundthe problem for the educators, theystill have not received workbooks toenable them to implement the newcurriculum.“The letter to parents makes it

clear that neighbouring schools havenot received textbooks either and thatthe problem is occurring elsewherein the province as well. As a result ofthis, the school has had to postponethe first tests in this semester to Feb-ruary because the learners will not beadequately prepared,” Smalle said.

Madonsela addressed to Greaverher office had not received areport on the implementation ofthe recommendation to take actionagainst members of the DRT BidAdjudication Committee and theBid Evaluation Committee and“that would mean the integrity ofthe those implicated in the report,still remain questionable” until theirnames are cleared. However, beforerequesting advisory from Madon-sela, Greaver had received a legalopinion signed by the municipal-ity’s Director of Corporate andShared Services, Mr CaliforniaPhanyane almost clearing Thindisato be recommended.During a media briefing after

the council meeting Greaverseemed unperturbed by the pos-sibility of the municipality facing alegal challenge after opting to over-look Thindisa, thereby disregardingthe legal opinion and opting to fol-low Madonsela’s opinion. During themeeting he also got the go aheadto negotiate terms of employmentwith the second best scoring can-didate but according to a sourceprivy to the information, negotia-tions have almost collapsed.

The names of the two farms inLimpopo which form part of theland expropriation programme

cannot be revealed as the Minister ofRural Development and Land Reform,Mr Gugile Nkwinti has not yet ap-proved the expropriation.Limpopo Land Claims Commis-

sioner, Mr Tele Maphoto said thisforms part of the centenary com-memoration of the Natives Land Act of1913. “The farms are in the Vhembeand Sekhukhune areas but for now wecannot reveal the names or provideany other information as we still awaitthe minister’s approval,” he said.According to the Democratic Alli-

ance (DA) Caucus Leader, Ms Desireevan der Walt the party supports land

reform in a sustainable manner, “...butI cannot comment on this particularissue as I have no background thereofand will have to do some researchfirst,” she said.The Transvaal Agricultural Union’s

(TAU) Northern Region Manager, MrStephan Hoffman said he was notaware of the two farms forming partof the expropriation programme. MrFrits Arends from the SoutpansbergTAU in Vhembe district also saidinformation about the matter was notyet available.The Department of Rural Devel-

opment and Land Reform’s websiteinforms that 2013 marks 100 yearssince the Natives Land Act of 1913was enacted in South Africa. The Actbecame law on 19 June 1913 limitingAfrican land ownership to 7% whichlater increased to 13% through the

1936 Native Trust and Land Act ofSouth Africa. The Act restricted blackpeople from buying or occupyingland except as employees of a whitemaster. It however gave white peopleownership of 87% of land, leavingblack people to scramble for a mere13%.“That piece of legislation made life

horrendous for the black populaceuntil the Commission of Restitutionwas established in 1994 to provideequitable redress to victims of raciallymotivated land dispossession, in linewith the provisions of the Restitutionof Land Rights Act, 1994 (Act No. 22of 1994). In the year 2013 the Depart-ment of Rural Development and LandReform will be marking the centenaryof this act. The theme for the Project2013 is Reversing the legacy of 1913Natives Land Act,” the website stated.

‘n teiken vir diewe toe eers dieskool se rekenaar gedurende dieskoolvakansie gesteel is.Volgens die skoolhoof, mnr Ste-

phen Mkhabela word die leerdersook van kos by die skool voorsien.“Die spens is leeggesteel en dieleerders het nou nie ‘n dak oorhul koppe nie. Ons het hulle huis

toe gestuur totdat ons verderebesluite geneem het,” sê Mkhab-ela. Benewens die dakteëls en kosis die stoep ook beskadig.Die skool het ‘n saak van dief-

stal by die Ohrigstad Polisiestasieaanhangig gemaak.Die plaaslike Demokratiese

Alliansie-raadslid in Ohrigstad,mnr Lethabile Kgwedi sê die skoolis afgeleë en diep in die nederset-ting geleë. “Daar is nie sekuriteitnie wat die gebied ‘n makliketeiken maak.“Ons wil graag sulke voorvalle

Onvoorwaardelike steun is deurverskeie organisasies aan veld-togte gegee wat mynbou-ontwik-keling in die sensitiewe NylsvleyRamsar-vleilandgebied in dieWaterberge keer nadat dit bekendgeword het dat ‘n oopgroef-platinummyn in die vleilandgebiedmoontlik ontwikkel gaan word.Nylsvley is ’n beskermde vloed-

vlakte en die tuiste van minstens450 voëlspesies en 37 voël- endierspesies in dié gebied is op dieWêreldbewaringsunie se rooi-datalys.Volgens mnr Julius Kleynhans,

AfriForum se hoof van omge-wingsake, is die beplande ontwik-keling al in 2011 begin en sê ditsal rampspoedige gevolge op diegebied en ekostelsel hê.Me Marion Dunkeld-Mengell,

projekkoördineerder en woord-voerder van Vriende van Nylsvleysê hulle stry al die afgelope tweejaar die stryd en meen dit sal ‘nkatastrofiese impak op nie net dieomgewing en ekosisteem hê nie,maar die investering wat in dié ge-bied gedoen is, sal verwoes word.“Om ‘n myngat te boor, moet

water verwyder word. Dié watersal waarskynlik deur die aarde sechemikalieë besoedel word,” sê sy.Mnr Chris Wagner, voorsitter

van die Waterbergbewaringsforumen strategiese beplanner van dieWaterberg Distrikslandbou-unie sêsy kommer gaan oor die kwaliteitwater wat aan die inwoners vanomliggende gebiede verskaf word.“Omdat die Waterberg die Nylsvleymet water voed, sal die moontlikeontwikkeling ‘n reuse impak op diewater hê. Sou die berg se wateruitgeput raak, sal reënwater binne24 uur wegloop en ons met ‘nreuse krisis laat,” sê hy.Die woordvoerder van Limpopo

se departement van ekonomieseontwikkeling, omgewing en toe-risme (Ledet), mnr Lucky Phosakon nie kommentaar lewer niemaar ‘n volledige verslag sal glomôre (Vrydag) aan PolokwaneObserver voorsien word.Mnr Theo Fischer van EScience

Associates, verantwoordelik virdie omgewingimpakstudie, sê datdie proses steeds aan die gangis en dat verdere spesialisstudiesonderneem moet word wat ower-hede in staat sal stel om ingeligtebesluite te neem. “Tans is dieinligting onvoldoende,” sê hy.

Cooperative Governance, HumanSettlements and Traditional Af-fairs (Coghsta) MEC, Mr Clifford

Motsepe has requested the PublicProtector and the Auditor General toinvestigate his department after mediareports implied that tenders worthR900 million were awarded irregularlyto allies of erstwhile politician, JuliusMalema. Motsepe, during a mediabriefing on the allegations held at thedepartment’s head offices on Tues-day, announced that he wanted thedepartment’s name cleared as he wasconfident there was no truth in theallegations.He said he had also written to

the Public Service Commission (PSC)about the matter merely for acknowl-edgement but did not request that thebody probe the matter too.Coincidentally the media brief-

ing was held on the day Motsepehad received a letter from the PublicProtector clearing the department ofallegations made about tender im-proprieties relating to companies alsolinked to Malema two years ago.

The investigation, started in 2011,cleared the department of irregularlydishing out tenders to Sizani Build ITowned by Mr Steve Bosch, Aurecon, amultinational company, On Point CivilEngineers (partly owned by Malemaand Mr Lesiba Gwangwa) and ArandiTrading owned by Mr Tshepo Malema,Malema’s cousin.Motsepe also said he would not be

victimising businesses simply becausethey were seen to be associated withMalema.He also confirmed that Malema

remained his personal friend. “I am apersonal friend of Julius Malema and Iwill remain a personal friend of JuliusMalema until death do us part,” Mot-sepe in an unprecedented declarationof friendship for the former politicianwho has claimed in the media to havebeen deserted by his friends.Meanwhile, the Democratic Alliance

(DA) Spokesperson on Local Govern-ment, Ms Desiree van der Walt laida criminal charge with the Hawksagainst the department over the issue.“MEC Motsepe can’t hide from thefacts already on the table. The DA ismost certainly pursuing its criminalcase,” she said.

Daar is min strate in die stad waar jy nie virreuse slaggate moet uitswaai nie, veral na dieonlangse swaar reën.Swaarvoertuigverkeer deur die stad en woon-

areas dra verder tot die beskadiging van diépaaie by. Die woordvoerder van die departementvan paaie en vervoer, mnr Joshua Kwapa sê datdaar munisipale regulasies en reëls is wat swaar-voertuie verbied om deur die stad se woonareasen sentrale sakegebied te beweeg. Volgens homis daar baie vragmotorbestuurders wat die wettebly verontagsaam.Inligtingsborde, aanwysingsborde en pad-

relings se swak toestand en totale verval draverder tot die bekommerenswaardige situasie

by. Kwapa sê dat die departement bewus is vandie beskadigde borde en relings en dat ‘n interneproses aan die gang is om dit te herstel.Ontevrede inwoners skakel Polokwane

Observer voortdurend om hul wrewel in dieverband te lig.

Volgens me Noko Lebea, Polokwane munisi-pale woordvoerder het die onlangse reën diespanne onderbreek wat besig was met instand-houdingswerk. Sy sê hulle het hul strategiebespreek en vyf spanne is reeds besig metherstelwerk reg oor Polokwane.Lebea sê die meederheid slaggate sal teen

Die stortingsterrein is die een plek watbaie inwoners vermy as gevolg van diewalglike reuke, groot veiligheidsrisiko en

onhigiëniese omstandighede, maar besighedewat daagliks rommel moet stort sit met ‘ngroter probleem.Die Polokwane Munisipaliteit het onlangs

besluit dat rommel wat op die terrein gestortword, geweeg moet word en dat daar R33 perton daarvoor betaal moet word.Inwoners of besigheidseienaars kan kies

om of vooraf koepons by die munisipaliteit tekoop of die tarief aan die einde van die maandby hul water- en elektrisiteitsrekening te laatvoeg.‘n Besigheidseienaar wat daagliks die stor-

tingsterrein vir bourommel gebruik sê ‘nmunisipale beampte het glo onlangs by dieweegbrug naby die ingangshek ‘n kwitansieuitgereik wat die gewig van die vrag presiesaandui, maar dat die bedrag wat betaal moes

word, nul getoon het. Daar word beweer datdie munisipale werker glo steeds R33 van diebestuurder geëis het. Die onderneming het ookgekla dat geen kennisgewings oor die tariewevooraf uitgereik is nie en daar geen kennis-gewings by die stortingsterrein hieroor opgerigis nie.Munisipale woordvoerder, me Noko Lebea

sê daar kan slegs met koepons betaal wordof die bedrag kan op die maandelikse re-kening gekrediteer word. Inwoners wat diestortingsterrein gebruik en gevra word omte betaal moet op die beampte se naam envan aandring en dit dadelik by die munisi-paliteit aanmeld,” sê Lebea. Die klagte kanby die munisipaliteit se kantore gelê word ofdie anonieme klagtelyn kan by 0800 205053geskakel word.Lebea het inwoners wat tuinvullis wil

verwyder gemaan om die stortingsperseel inWebsterstraat en in Ladanna naby LaerskoolPiet Hugo te gebruik. “Inwoners kan hier gratistuinvullis weggooi. Sou hulle die Silicon stort-ingsterrein gebruik en die vrag weeg meer as‘n ton, sal hulle moet betaal,” sê sy.Sy het verder gesê die munisipaliteit het

kennisgewings uitgereik. “Ek het die ken-nisgewings self hanteer en dit is na gereelderommelverwyderingsmaatskappye gestuur enin die koerante geadverteer,” sê sy.

Sohetdit gebeur>>Drie hoera’s vir St. VaaltynhEttiEgoldEn

Mense is deesdae tog te lief daarvoor omValentynsdag af te maak as net ‘n geldmaaksetvan rooskwekers en snuisterywinkels.Maar het jy geweet dat, naas Nuwejaar,

Valentynsdag deur meer mense gevier word asenige ander feesdag ter wêreld. Die oorsprongvan die feesdag kom uit die Rooms-Katoliekekerk. Die spesifieke feite is eeue gelede alverlore. Selfs in die vyfde eeu toe die dag asfeesdag verklaar is, was die presiese oorsprongonseker. Die bekendste storie agter die storieis dat ‘n biskop Valentyn (of dan die Latynseweergawe daarvan) naby Rome gemartel envermoor is op 14 Februarie. Hy is volgensoorlewering skuldig bevind aan die bevesti-ging van onwettige huwelike tussen soldateen hul geliefdes. Hy is gearresteer en moes sygeloof verduidelik. Nadat hy die dogter van diehoof van die gevangenis van blindheid geneeshet, is hy na Keiser Claudius gebring. Valentynmoes kies tussen sy lewe en sy geloof. Hy hetsy geloof gekies en is gemartel en onthoof.Sommige historici beweer dat die hele

romantiese karakter van die dag die idee wasvan ‘n middeleeuse Engelse skrywer, GeoffreyChaucer. (Tien uit tien vir hom)Maar of jy jou nou aan Valentynsdag steur

of nie, dink jy nie ook dis ‘n goeie idee omminstens eenmaal ‘n jaar die liefde te viernie? ‘n Hele paar mans voer aan dat “Elkedag mos maar Valentynsdag is omdat ek altydmy geliefde waardeer en bederf.” In sommigegevalle behoort dit moontlik waar te wees. Virdie res, dink ek, is dit net ‘n verskoning. In allegeval, mag ‘n vrou daaraan gewoond raak om

elke dag bederf te word en verwag sy dalk ooknou en dan ietsie anders. (Ek is seker maar netjaloers)Of jy nou een van die gelukkiges is wat elke

dag in liefde toegevou is, of net nou en dan ‘nietsie kry, dink ek ons kan maar die liefde vier.Dis ‘n goeie idee, veral as mens dink waarvoorValentyn werklik gesterf het. Dit behoort tegaan oor baie meer as net romantiese liefde.Liefde is immers die grootste emosie. Dis

vir seker so dat enigeen wat liefde in sy geloofvind, ‘n gelukkiger en rustiger mens is. Vier dieliefde in jou geloof.‘n Mens kan nie ander lief hê as jy nie ook

vir jouself lief is nie. Dis soms vir ons baiemoeilik. Ons is grootgemaak met die ideedat jy jouself minder moet ag as ander maarselfliefde is nie dieselfde as arrogansie nie. Netomdat jy jouself lief het, beteken nie dat jydink jy is beter as ander nie.Liefde is nie soos ‘n bus met beperkte

sitplek nie. Dis soos ‘n goeie oefensessie; hoemeer mense jy lief het, hoe meer kan jy liefhê.En dit begin by jouself.Ek dink mense misgis hulle as hulle dink

ons lewe is voltooi as iemand ons lief het.Nee, dis veel eerder die geval dat elke mensdie brandende begeerte het om iemand ofiets buite hulself lief te hê. Die vermoë en diegeleentheid om liefde te bewys, is wat onsvoltooi. Vier daarom hierdie Valentynsdag aldie liefde in jou lewe, van ‘n troeteldier tot ‘ngeliefde. En as jy dalk alleen is, kyk gerus net‘n bietjie rondom jou: daar is altyd iemand omlief te kry en gelukkig te maak, as jy nie netaan romanse dink nie.Gelukkige Valentynsdag vir elkeen.

Dalmada WaterEk verwys na ’n berig wat verlede week ver-skyn het insake Dalmada water. Soos die En-gelsman sal sê “let’s put the record straight”:Ons veralgemeen as ons met “julle” praat,

maar “julle” weet wie “julle” is.Voor “julle” koerant toe hardloop, gaan lees

eers julle ondertekende (?) ooreenkoms metdie Dalmada Waterraad, met spesiale verwy-sing na die derde paragraaf. Maak seker vanjulle feite voor julle begin kerm. Dit is uitersteleurstellend, onregverdig (en lasterlik) dat soeensydige berig in die koerant geplaas wordvoor al die ware feite verkry is.Weet julle hoeveel kos Dalmada water

en hoeveel kos water in die dorp? Weet julledat Dalmada Waterrraad eers na 50 kiloliteroorskry is, boetes uitreik en die Munisipaliteitna 20 kiloliter?Dalmada/Baskoppies is geklassifiseer as

landbouhoewes waar daar slegs een woningper plot gebou mag word. As gevolg vanonwettige woonstelle, besighede en anderstrukture wat hoë volumes water gebruik, isdie druk wat op die watervoorsiening geplaasword krities.Hoekom kry ons almal sms’e insake wa-

teronderbreking, maar julle nie? (Is dit dalkomdat julle nie lede is nie?). Sms’e word aandie eienaars van al die plotte gestuur, maarhulle versuim moontlik om dit oor te dra aanhuurders. Dis nou dié lede wat wel nuwekontak detail na die Waterraad stuur indien dit

verander het.Weet julle wat Oom Fanie Hattingh alles

vir die gemeenskap doen? Ons glo nie, wanthy loop nie daarmee te koop nie. Ons staansaam met Oom Fanie en as julle hom aanvat,vat julle ons aan. Hy bly al langer op Dalmadaas wat julle verjaarsdae gehad het. Kom woonbietjie ons volgende GPF vergadering by, dangesels ons oor ‘n koppie koffie. 12 Februarie2013 om 18:30 by Palms Inn, Dalmada.As julle boorgat toerusting gesteel is het

julle dit by die SAPS aangemeld en die IRnommer deurgegee na die Dalmada/Baskop-pies GPF sodat hulle dit kan opvolg en jullebystaan?Op Dalmada/Baskoppies gaan dit nie net

oor water nie, dit gaan oor ‘n gemeenskap watsaamstaan. Inwoners wat in die middernagte-like ure voetpatrollies doen om mede-inwonersse veiligheid te verseker.Bure wat mekaar ken (en nie dorp toe hoef

te ry vir water nie) en water kan kry by diémense wat boorgate het as daar nie Dalmadawater is nie omdat daar ‘n probleem opgeduikhet. Inwoners wat twee rigting radios het ensodoende met mekaar kommunikeer as daarnood of probleme is en daarop kan reageer.Soos julle sal sien skryf ons hierdie brief

met name by, ons verkies om nie “anoniem” tewees nie.Stefan en Lynette Botes, Cameron en

Cherelle Chrystal, Hennie en Lynn van Rens-burg, Jaco Pretorius en Marianna Malan.Brief is onveranderd geplaas

uit dieWoord>>God gebruik gebreekte mense

Hompie Kedompie het van die wal af geval.En gebreek. Nie die koning of sy soldate kondit voorkom nie. En hulle kon hom ook nieweer aanmekaar sit nie. Toe ons kinders washet ons hierdie rympie dikwels opgesê. In onsgedagtes kon ons sien hoe Hompie hulpeloosvan die muur af val en in stukke spat. Ná dieval het hy daar gelê: “Plat soos ‘n pan.” Ditwas ‘n heerlike rympie om met bewegings uitte beeld. Ek onthou nog hoe ‘n meisie in traneuitgebars het toe een van die seuns HompieKedompie se einde dramaties en met ‘n luideweeklag voorgestel het.Mense “breek” ook. Ons is almal broos en

breekbaar, al erken ons dit nie sommer aanonsself of iemand anders nie. “Ons sal eerderná ‘n hartaanval of ‘n beroerte sterf as omte erken dat ons nie so sterk is soos wat onsvoorgee nie,” sê ‘n vriend van my dikwels.Wanneer ‘n mens “breek” is dit baie erger aswanneer énige struktuur inmekaartuimel.In die Bybel lees ons dikwels van gelowiges

wat naby of aan die anderkant van breekpuntbeland het. Vir Job het dit gevoel asof hy soerg gebreek was dat sy hoop “soos ‘n boomwat uitgeruk word” verdwyn het en dat hy sousterf (Job 19:10). Dawid het geglo mense wouhom breek (Ps 55:4; 57:7). Oor die gebro-kenheid van God se kinders was die profeet

Jeremia se moed gebreek (Klaagl 2:11-12).Toe Jesus tydens die laaste ete saam met

sy dissipels – kort voordat hy gekruisig is –brood gebreek het, het hy gesê: “Neem dit, ditis my liggaam” (Luk 14:22). Ná hy “gebreek”is, word Jesus egter uit die dood opgewek énstaan hy daaruit op. As “die een wat gebreekis” kén Jesus ook ons sukkel, seer en swaarkry.Daarom kan ons maar al singende erken:“Breekbaar is ek en verganklik / heeltemal vanHom afhanklik” (Liedboeklied 102:9).As “die een wat die dood gebreek het” bring

God in en deur Jesus vir gebrokenes bevry-ding (Luk 4:19 Ou Vertaling). In “ons gebrokewêreld kom vestig Hy sy koningsheerskappy”en maak hy heel “wat sonde hier gebreek het”(Lied 464:3 en 518). God breek nie, maarmaak heel.“Hy wat verstaan, sal die riet wat geknak

is, nie breek nie” (Lied 486:3). Na aanleidingvan Paulus se beskrywing van gelowiges as“kleipotte wat maklik breek” (2 Kor 4:7) hetiemand gesê God gebruik gebreekte menseomdat hulle meer lig deurlaat as dié wat rekendat hulle gewete skoon is.Mag jy glo dat jy nooit onherstelbaar

gebreek kan word nie. Mag jy ervaar datjy, anders as Hompie Kedompie, weer héélgemaak word. En mag jy daarom woorde watlewe bring gebruik, want “skynheilige woordebreek mense” (Spr 15:4).

Ek kry egter min tydom self die kwas op die doek te sit, maargaan in die toekoms moeite doen om diepassie uit te leef.”Hy meen dat die stad se kunstenaars nie

Red. Or rouge in French, vermell inCatalan, rot in German, punainen inFinnish, rojo in Spanish and czerwonyin Polish.It is not just a colour. It is many

things in one.It is supposed to revive one spiritually. It is

also a feeling inspired by the tone that nestlesbetween red violet and red orange on thecolour wheel.It is the colour of a bunch of roses, red hot

chilli peppers and bloody Marys. Pomegranate,raspberry jam and velvet cake.Red comes in sticky lip lustre.It is the sexy twist in the tango.The blood that gushes through our veins.It is the va-va-va-voom of a sporty red

roadster.It appears in the flags of countries across

the globe, symbolising certain characteristics of

a nation.Ochre red clay pots

are testimony to an origin from Limpopo soil.It is a magnificent setting sun that drops

in behind the horizon as it bows to a silverhalf-moon.Red is the colour of the balloons in that one

song, the lollipop shoes on the cover of JoanneHarris’s book and two cloaks in the wind in thefilm Chocolate.Oh, and it resembles the sheen heart

clutched between the paws of the pink soft toyteddy bear you’re going to buy your Valentinethis year...

Red ismany things in one

Mans en vroue is nou maar eenmaaluiteenlopende wesens en hierdieverskil word duidelik met die koop van

geskenke vir Valentynsdag onderstreep.Die maklike opsie vir veral mans is om

by die naaste winkel in te hardloop en binneoomblikke ‘n gepaste item van die rak te kiesen te betaal. Ongelukkig bly oorspronklikheiden sentiment dikwels agterweë.Slaan haar voete só onder haar uit:

Dink oorspronklik. In plaas van ‘n teddiebeer,kan jy haar bederf met ‘n koopbewys van ‘nskoonheidsalon wat ‘n massering, manikuur engesigsbehandeling insluit.Gee vir haar, in plaas van rooi rose, rose in

verskeie kleure. Doen vooraf moeite om uit tevind wat die simboliek agter elke rooskleur isen vertel haar hoekom jyelkeen aan haar gee.Hou ‘n week lank Valen-

tynsdag. Los elke dag vandie week, voor 14 Febru-arie, ‘n klein geskenkieonder haar kopkussingwaarmee jy vir haar sêhoeveel sy vir jou beteken.As dit te duur is, gebruikspesiale handgeskrewe no-tas in plaas van geskenke.‘n Loterykaartjie, maar nie‘n gewone een nie, is oorspronklik. Kies al diespesiale datums wat vir julle albei belangrikis – die eerste afspraak, die eerste soen, diedatum van jul verlowing en troudag. Dit salhaar wys dat dié dae vir jou net so belangrik isas vir haar.Berei vir haar ‘n tuisgemaakte ete voor. Enmoenie sê jy kan nie. Laat jou ma of sustervooraf vir jou wys hoe om ‘n paar lekker mak-like disse voor te berei. Sorg dat die nagereg ‘ntreffer is én sjokolade bevat.Gordyne vir die sitkamer is ‘n goeie idee. Moetdit liefs nie self kies nie, maar neem haar opValentynsdag om splinternuwe gordyne enbankoortreksels te kies. ‘n Vrou se huis lê haarna aan die hart en met dié gebaar sal jy haarlaat voel dat jy haar verstaan en regtig gedinkhet oor wat sy graag wil hê.Slaan sy voete onder hom uit:‘n Nota in sy voertuig, broek- of hempsak of

kussingsloop oor redes hoekom jy vir hom liefis, of ’n spesiale SMS of eposboodskap.‘n PowerPoint-aanbieding wat jy self gemaak

het, met foto’s van julletwee, mooi herinneringeen redes hoekom jy mal isoor hom.Gee hom ‘n tuisge-

maakte koopbewys vir ‘nafspraak by jóú ‘salon’.Bederf hom met ‘n voetbe-handeling, massering en‘negte, romantiese outydseskeersessie.

Reël vir hom ‘n manlike uitstappie soos ‘nbegeleide toer waartydens ‘n wilde dier ver-doof word om dalk ‘n besering te behandel ofvir navorsingsdoeleindes. Hy sal mal wees oordie idee dat jy hom die geleentheid gee om dienatuur eerstehands te ervaar.Probeer ‘n aksiesportsoort saam met hom soosrotsklim, hangsweef of valskermspring. Ashy iets van die sportsoort af weet en jou kanleer, sal dit hom goed laat voel. Die feit dat jyjou vrese opsy skuif in ‘n poging om dit saammet hom te doen, sal hom aanspoor om sywaardering teenoor jou te toon.‘n Nuwe skildery vir sy kantoor. Neem hom

na ‘n kunskafee vir ‘n lekker liefdesontbyt. Sêdaarna aan hom dat jy vir hom nog ‘n verrass-ing het, en dat hy sy eie skildery vir sy kantoorby dieselfde winkel kan kies. Elke keer wat hydaarna kyk, sal hy aan jou dink.Wat wie ook al doen, onthou dat woorde enigemens se hart kan omtower. Gee, saam met jougeskenk, ‘n spesiale kaartjie om hom/haar netweer te herinner aan jou liefde.

geskenkideesvirValentynsdag


Elkeen van ons het ‘n eie mening oor watliefde is en omskryf dit in ons eie woorde soosons dit daagliks ervaar.Sommige meen dit is ‘n wilsbesluit terwyl

ander glo dit kom uit die hart en dit is ‘ngevoel wat jy nie kan keer nie. Ander sê weerdaar bestaan nie iets soos ware liefde nie.As ‘n mens op die internet rondkrap, kry jy

die oulikste sêgoed van mense wat die liefdebeskryf.

Liefde is ....“...wanneer die verliefdheid oor is en jyagterkom dat jou maat ook net ‘n normalemens met foute is, kies jy om hom of haar nogsteeds lief te hê. Al lyk sy of hy nie meer sojonk, jeugdig of vaartbelyn die dag toe jullegetroud is nie.”“...om saam te lag, met mekaar en vir me-

kaar. Liefde is om dinge saam te doen, om ditsommer net te geniet om saam te wees.”“...is iets wat nie vanself kom nie, maar

is soos ‘n klein plantjie wat elke dag versorgmoet word. Kyk jy mooi daarna, word dit ‘npragtige, gesonde, groot plant. Verwaarloos jydit, gaan dit kwyn en later sterf.”“... ‘n houtkruis teen alleenheid, ‘n steun-

pilaar in pyn, ‘n skouer om op te huil, ‘nhand wat weet wanneer om jou vas tehou. Dit is ‘n kombers teen die koue ensambreel teen die reën.”

Die Bybel is sekerlik dieboek wat die liefde die besteomskryf. Die liefde as grootstegebod word in 1 Korintiërs 13beskryf: “Die liefde is gedul-dig, die liefde is vriendelik; ditis nie afgunstig nie, is nie groot-praterig nie, is nie verwaand nie. Dit

handel nie onwelvoeglik nie, soek nie sy eiebelang nie, is nie liggeraak nie, hou nie boekvan die kwaad nie.Dit verbly hom nie oor onreg nie, maar

verheug hom oor die waarheid. Dit bedekalles, glo alles, hoop alles, verdra alles. Dieliefde vergaan nooit nie, maar die gawe vanprofesie sal verdwyn, die gawe om ongewonetale en klanke te gebruik, sal ophou, en diévan kennis sal uitgedien raak.”As jy die Valentynsdag, soos veral in films,

by jou geliefde se venster wil gaan staan en‘n liefdeslied vir hom of haar sing of ‘n gedigopsê, oorweeg gerus Deon Opperman segedig:“Wat is liefde, hoe weet jy dit is waar,Is dit iets wat jy versigtig soos geld kan spaar,Pluk dit aan jou hart soos druppels aan ‘nblaar,Soos wind aan ‘n spinnerak, soos vingers aan‘n snaar?Wat is liefde en kan jy daarteen stry,Is dit iets wat jou verslaaf, of iets wat joubevry,Sal dit jou die pad wys, of sal dit jou mislei,Sal dit soos die mis kwyn, of sal dit ewig bly?Jy vra my wat is liefde?...dis die soetste,soetste seer,Dis hartseer en verlange, en ‘n duisend dingemeer, dis lenteson, en winterreën en somer

donderweer,Dis alles wat jou hart soek, enniks wat hy kan keer.Die digters sê dis waansin,sonder rede, sonder hoop,‘n Pad wat selfs ‘n engel salhuiwer om te loop,‘n Dorsmasjien waar duiwels ‘n

mens se siel kaal stroop,Die duurste ding wat man of vrou

met murg en bloed kan koop. “

liefde is…


“1 koppie oplettendheid, 2 koppies aanmoedi-ging, 1 liter geduld, 2 eetlepels komplimente,1 koppie bemoediging en 1 kg geloof envertroue.”Dit is hoe iemand op die sosiale netwerk,

facebook die bestanddele van ‘n gelukkigehuwelik beskryf.Dan volg die metode: “Neem liefde en

lojaliteit en meng deeglik met geloof. Meng invriendelikheid en begrip. Voeg vriendskap enverrassings by en roer goed. Voeg passie omdie beurt met ‘n oorvloed lag by. Bak met sonen reënboë. Garneer met vergifnis en bed-agsaamheid. Bedien daagliks met liefdevolleporsies.”Soos onderaan elke resep waar die skrywer

die porsies vir die hoeveelheid mense aan-dui, sê die resep: “Genoeg vir twee mense -Lewenslank.”

Ds Frans Oosthuizen van die HervormdeKerk Pietersburg sê hy het eendag iets geleeswat baie opvallend oor die huwelik was. “Dieskrywer het gesê om ‘n wenresep vir diehuwelik te hê moet jy elke dag voor die spieëlstaan en jouself afvra hoe sou dit gewees hetas jy met die persoon in die spieël getroudwas. Dit is belangrik om eers die balk uit joueie oog te haal voordat jy die splinter in jougeliefde s’n raaksien,” sê hy.Volgens ‘n plaaslike huweliksberader, me

Charlene Enslin is daar nie ‘n resep nie, maarsy meen dat kommunikasie sekerlik die belang-rikste faktor van ‘n gelukkige huwelik is. “Asdaar nie kommunikasie is nie, is daar plek virmisverstande wat op sy beurt weer tot konfliklei,” sê sy.Sy sê dat mense verskil en een party hoef

nie altyd saam te stem nie, maar steeds moetgoeie en deeglike kommunikasie gevoer word.‘n Gebrek aan respek vir mekaar kan ook totkonflik lei.

mekaar bedoel en was sedert hulskooljare goeie vriende. Na slegs driemaande wat hulle amptelik uitgegaanhet, het hulle dieknoop deurge-hak. Ronald hetvoor hul troue indie Kaap gewoonen Lida in Johan-nesburg. Hy hethaar in ‘n briefgevra om te trou

en sy het opgewonde die jawoord pertelegram gestuur.Oor die liefde sê hulle: “Die lewe

gaan oor liefde. As julle nie vir mekaarlief is nie, kan jy vir niks op aarde liefwees nie.” Lida maak seker dat sy elkedag vir Ronald ‘n heerlike ete voorsiten hy bederf haar op sy beurt met ‘nkoppie tee.

Almal beleef iewers die gevoel vaneerste liefde.Daardie gevoel wat jou maag laat

bollemakiesie slaan en jou duiselig laatvoel as jy daardie persoon sien as hyof sy net verbystap.Polokwane Observer het ‘n paar

lesers gevra wat hulle daarvan onthou.Me Tanya Prins se man, Michael

was haar eerste liefde. Sy was 16 toehulle die eerste keer ontmoet het enhulle is al agt jaar saam. Sy hoop dathulle net nog meer goeie herinneringesaam sal hê.Me Christine Steyn het haar eerste

liefde op veertienjarige ouderdombeleef. “Ons het baie van mekaar

gehou en ons was ‘saam’, maar washopeloos te skaam om eers metmekaar te praat,” het sy laggendverduidelik oor hoekom hulle net metbriefies wat deur vriende aangedra isgekommunikeer het.Mense beleef die eerste liefde

anders maar almal is dit eens dat hyof sy jou hart laat fladder het en jouknieë lam gemaak het.

Valentynsdag2013


Vir die meeste mans is Valentyns-dag ‘n kopseer omdat die vrouein hulle lewens waarskynlik iets

spesiaals vir dié dag verwag. Dit is ooknie skrikkeljaar nie en dus moet diemanne maar opdok.Gelukkig het Polokwane geen

tekort aan romantiese bestemmingsnie. Daar is oorgenoeg opsies as jydie spesiale persoon wil bederf met ‘nromantiese ete of haar of hom wil ver-ras vir‘n naweekwegbreek. Van klein,intieme eetplekkies tot vyfsterrestau-rante met alles wat jou hart begeer,

natuurlik teen ‘n prys.‘n Paar idees:Met ‘n meer beperkte begrot-

ing, probeer Ambiance Restaurant inRabéstraat vir goeie kos en ‘n rustigeatmosfeer, veral in die aand. Diestemming is betowerend met bomevol kersliggies en kerse op die tafelsonder die sterreruim.Vir ‘n meer formele en elegante

atmosfeer is Fusion Boutique Hotel sevyfsterrestaurant, Saskia, die ant-woord waar jy tot in die kelder of opdie dak jou intieme ete kan geniet.Die kos en diens is voortreflik en salenige vrou soos ‘n koningin laat voel.Vir ‘n ekstra bederf kan jy in die hotel

oorslaap in een van die betowerendesuites met ‘n spesiale tema.As jy vir die dag uit die stadsge-

woel wil wegkom, is Protea HotelRanch Resort die ideale plek waarjulle ontbyt, middag- of aandete met‘n spesiale atmosfeer kan geniet enselfs tyd afknyp vir ‘n staptog saammet die leeus. Oorslaapgeriewe is vantopgehalte en die gholfbaan die idealeontspanningsplek.Vir ‘n meer persoonlike uitstappie

kan Vleislapa jou help met lekkernyesoos sjampanje, biltong, droëwors ensjokolade in ‘n geskenkpak as deel vanjou piekniekmandjie. Geskikte bestem-mings buite die stad is onder meer

die PolokwaneNatuurreservaat,Magoebaskloofen Haenertsburg.Die Debegeni-watervalle kanaltyd sterk oorweegword.Dit maak nie

saak hoe groot ofklein jou begrotingis nie, daar is geenverskoning waaromjy nie daardiespesiale persoon injou lewe kan wyshoe jy voel nie.Al is dit dan ook

net met stywe vetdrukke en ‘n onver-geetlike soen.

>>Support their informationandmarket day>>Help reduce theburdenofcancerMaRiëttESnydER>> [email protected]

The Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa)will be hosting an information and market dayat Library Gardens from 08:00 to 14:00 on Sat-urday, 9 February and urges the community tosupport them in their quest to educate childrenabout the dangers of using sun beds.This event is organised as part of World

Cancer Day that was celebrated worldwide on4 February.Ms Sue Janse van Rensburg, Cansa’s Chief

Executive Officer said as part of World CancerDay they presented Deputy Minister of Health,Dr Gwen Ramokgopa with a document ofsupport to ban the use of sun beds by personsunder the age of 18.“World Cancer Day reminds us that every

person, group and government can do theirbit to help reduce the burden of cancer. Thefocus for 2013 is on dispelling common mythsaround cancer and specifically the commonbelief that using sun beds or tanning boothsdoes not cause skin cancer.” said Janse vanRensburg.She added that they want to raise aware-

ness around the unregulated sun bed industrybecause of the direct link between sun bed useand the incidence of skin cancer.She further stated that Cansa staff and

volunteers actively collected over 16 000signatures nationally supporting the requestedban. “Should this be realised, South Africawould be among the first 20 countries to banthe use of sun beds to persons younger than18. The International Agency for Research onCancer, part of the World Health Organization,includes tanning devices on its list of the mostdangerous cancer causing agents – a list thatincludes plutonium and cigarettes,” Janse vanRensburg said.For more information about the information

and market day, contact Mss Ria du Plessis on083 259 2790, Vhutshilo Makwarela on 082822 4852 or Enny Mashapa on 083 694 1299.

Happy 20thBirthday toPolokwaneChemicalSuppliers

Ecwamix ChemicalSystems would like towish Polokwane

Chemical Supplies allthe best for their 20th

birthday.Ecwamix would like to thank

Polokwane Chemical Suppliesfor a great working

relationship in the past,and are looking forwardto being their preferredSilicone emulsion,Wax emulsion

and raw materialssupplier for thenext 20 years.


From what used to be a small business runfrom a garage on a smallholding outsidePolokwane to a multimillion Rand factory

employing 89 people in two decades is thesuccess story behind Polokwane ChemicalSuppliers (PCS) which is celebrating its 20thbirthday this year.PCS is an example of what can be ac-

complished through hard work by dedicated,trained personnel to turn one man’s visioninto a role player to be reckoned with in theeconomy of the city.PCS Marketing Manager, Mr Voni Mampane

recalled how the company started in 1993 inhis father’s garage based on the idea of buyingand selling bubble bath, floor polish and fabricsoftener.In 2003 Mr Walter Mampane, PCS Chief

Executive Officer, moved the company toits present premises in 45 Emerald Street,Futura, Polokwane. “With the help of theSmall Enterprise Development Agency (Seda)and other business consulting agencies wemanaged to streamline the business and arenow proud to say we have administrative,marketing, production and dispatch depart-ments with over 40 products on our stocklist,” he said.By 2005 PCS was flourishing, lending itself

to the addition of a production line adjacent totheir premises. Recently the opportunity aroseto generate a position for a general manager.PCS offers a variety of products such as

cleaning products, polishes, waxes, bleach,floor strippers, fabric softeners, stain remov-ers, sanitizers, detergents and gels.The road ahead looks rosy according to

Voni. “We are currently building a new, fullyautomated manufacturing plant in Tin Streetwhich is almost completed. This will enable usto package smaller quantities like 500 ml and1 litre containers. Our toilet paper factory isalso fully operational and employs five peoplecurrently,” he said.He added that they intend moving to that

premises in future but for now will continue toproduce bigger quantity goods at the currentpremises. The company sells wholesale anddirect to the public and anyone is welcome tomake their purchases there.Voni explained that their products are highly

concentrated with a quality control system inplace which is in line with the South AfricanBureau of Standards (SABS) and we strivetowards consistency and affordability.PCS not only focuses on doing business

and making money, they contribute to thewelfare of surrounding communities in variousways. “In May or June we are hosting the sodturning ceremony of a church that we arebuilding in the Sekhukhune area. This year

each department will also adopt a school forthe disabled to contribute to in various ways ofeducating our future,” he said.He added that PCS previously donated

money to 30 schools in the area, but decidedthat by adopting a school they can be moreinvolved in the development thereof.Businesswise PCS delivers to Limpopo,

Polokwane inwoners gaan op 9 Maartby die Eskol-gemeente die geleentheidkry om ‘n man wat alles verloor en nou

sy lewensverhaal met die gemeenskap éndiegene in dieselfde situasie as waarin hy wasdeel, te ontmoet.Lourens Groenewald het as jong polisielid

in 1976 ‘n rits klagte van aanranding teenhom gehad nadat hy die reg soms in eiehande geneem en geglo het dat dit sy reg isom swartmense voor die voet dood te maak.Nadat hy uit die polisie bedank het, het hy seskeer in rehabilitasiesentrums beland weensalkoholmisbruik en sy huwelik het ook in dieslag gebly.Later het hy ook aan hoesmedisyne en

slaappille verslaaf geraak. Nadat hy die laastekeer uit ‘n rehablilitasiesentrum ontslaan is,het hy gevoel dat die Here direk met hompraat. Die boodskap was duidelik - Met God sewil in sy lewe, kan hy ’n ander pad stap. Ditsal swaar wees, maar dit sal die moeite werdwees.Daar en dan het hy besluit om sy lewe posi-

tief te verander en sy hart vir die Here gegee.Hy het toe by verskeie skuilings herberg

gevind waar hy die evangelie aan hulpbehoe-wendes gebring het. In die proses het hy sysangtalent ontdek en spog nou met ‘n CD, Tooblessed to be stressed.Hy het later vab die skuilings weggebreek,

is weer getroud en voer tans ‘n bestendige

“Ons hoofdoel is nie om kinders se mae vol tekry en hulle te klee nie, maar om ‘n beter ennormaal funksionerende lewe en toekoms virdie volgende generasie te verseker.”So meen me Maryna Kruger, een van die

stigterslede van Hoop vir Kinders.Die Krugers neem al vir langer as twee

dekades kinders van verskillende ouderdommein hul huis en hart in wat soos hul eie versorgen grootgemaak word. Talle kinders oor ‘n tyd-perk van 25 jaar het by hulle ‘n tuiste gevind.“Ons het nou maar ‘n sagte plekkie vir hulpbe-hoewende kinders. Omdat ons glo die wêreldsal ‘n beter plek wees as kinders ordent-lik opgevoed word, sit ons hart en siel in om ‘nverskil in hul lewens te maak,” sê sy.In 2004 het die nood in die stad hulle

genoop om die Hoop vir Kinders-projek tebegin en die eerste pleegsorghuis, Agape-huismet ses kinders begin. In 2005 is Elpiza-huisse deure geopen en in September 2006 is dieTiqvah-huis met behulp van die gemeenskapse mildelike bydrae geopen. Tans vind 14kinders tussen 8 maande en 18 jaar by diéhuise ‘n tuiste.

Die Melete-huis is mettertyd begin ombehoeftige enkelma’s die geleentheid te geeom vir ‘n maksimum van ses maande saammet hul kinders in te woon. In dié tyd helpKruger en haar span die ma’s om werk te kryen ontvang opleiding om hulself en hul kindersse lewens weer op dreef te kry.Die pleegsorghuise spog met uitnemende

pleegouers wat die belange van die kinderseerste stel. “Kinders ervaar ‘n familieopset enword nie as weeskinders geëtiketteer nie. Hulleis normale kinders wat in ‘n normale omgewinggrootword,” vertel sy.Omdat die kinders meestal deel was van

wanaangepaste gesinne waar hulle daagliksaan substansiemisbruik, geweld en moleste-ring blootgestel is, is dit belangrik dat hulle ‘nnuwe leefwyse aanleer. Langtermynverhou-dings word met die kinders gebou wat hulle ‘ngevoel van ‘ek behoort’ gee, vertel sy.

Terapie en sielkundige behandeling help diékinders om trauma te verwerk en weer hoopvir die toekoms te gee. Hulle werk nou saammet welsynsorganisasies en maatskaplikewerkers in die stad.Hulle beplan om in samewerking met die

Polokwane Kinder- en Gesinsorgvereniging ‘nondersteunersgroep vir plaaslike pleegouersop die been te bring. “Só kan pleegouers saamoor daaglikse struikelblokke praat en raaduitruil. Sowat 90% van alle pleegsorgsituasiesmisluk juis omdat die kinders in hul tiener-jare rebels raak en dié ouers nie opgewasseen ingelig is om die probleme aan te spreeknie,” vertel sy. Dié ondersteunersgroepbyeen-koms vind op 21 Februarie om 18:30 by dieAgape Gemeente-lapa plaas. Kruger nooi allepleegouers om by hulle aan te sluit.Vir meer besonderhede of om as donateur

by Hoop vir Kinders betrokke te raak, kanMaryna by 015 295 7934 geskakel word.

Audi enthusiasts had the opportunity to viewthe 2013 Audi A4 allroad Quattro during itslocal launch at Audi Polokwane on Saturday.

The Audi A4 has become even more attractivewith the Quattro’s new solutions for efficiency,driving dynamics and infotainment, along with aneven more attractive designThe A4 has been Audi’s bestseller for 39

years and is now in its eighth generation. Withits elegance, sportiness and emotional appeal itforms the centrepiece of the Audi brand and nowthe design has become even more clearly definedand striking in all models, especially the allroadQuattro.The new look further accentuates the hori-

zontal lines at the front end. The engine hoodis more arched, the upper corners of the singleframe grille are tapered, and the cross ribs andthe Audi rings are highlighted three-dimensionally.The grille is painted gray, with high-gloss black onthe six-cylinder models or in combination with theS line exterior package. The redesigned bump-ers are striking with their angular air inlets, theirrevised grilles and the flat front fog lights. The A4allroad Quattro is distinguished by the grille’s hori-zontal chrome applications and round fog lights.The headlights have also changed, with a slight

wave at the bottom edges, and a re-arrangedinterior. Xenon plus headlights are available fromAudi on request. The LED daytime running lightsform a narrow, optically homogeneous band thatremains open in the vicinity of the xenon lens. Theadaptive light together with dynamic and staticcornering lights is available on request.The tail lights reflect the shape of the head-

lights, and in combination with xenon plus havehomogeneous strips of LEDs. The bumper with itsdiffuser insert has been redesigned, with the ex-haust system always terminating in two tailpipes.The Quattro permanent all-wheel drive is

standard on the A4 allroad Quattro, and availablein the Sedan and Avant from the 2.0 TDI with 105kW. The A4 family uses the self-locking centredifferential here. In regular driving operation itprimarily transmits the engine torque to the rearwheels in the ratio of 40 to 60. If necessary, redis-tribution occurs within the shortest possible time.The torque vectoring function supplements thework of the centre differential with finely incre-mented brake applications, to make handling evenmore precise and safe.In the V6 Quattro variants Audi offers the sport

differential as a supplement, lending maximumprecision and high traction to the allroad whencornering at the handling limits. The high-endcomponent actively distributes the power betweenthe rear wheels as required.

property profile>>Agency: Home RealtorsWhat is the most important factorwhen buying a house?>> Affordability and areaHow would you describe the cur-rent property market in Polok-wane?>> There are sufficient buyers in thecurrent market, but the banks are toughon granting loansWhat is the recipe for being a goodproperty agent?>>Listen to your clientsMs eveleen Hoffman

>>Households’ abilityto takeadvantageof theimprovedhousingafford-ability continued tobeaffected>>Outstandingmort-gagebalances in thehousehold sector showedgrowthof around3%

The affordability of housingremained favourable during thecourse of 2012, reflected by the

ratios of house prices and mortgagerepayments to household disposableincome.According to the Absa Housing Re-

view the first quarter of 2013 was thenet result of trends in house price andincome growth while the mortgage in-terest rate was on average somewhatlower in 2012 compared with 2011.Mr Jacques du Toit, Absa Home

Loans property analyst said manyhouseholds’ ability to take advantageof the improved housing affordabilitycontinued to be affected by factorssuch as income, savings, living costs,debt levels, as well as credit-riskprofiles (as reflected by the state ofconsumer credit records), the NationalCredit Act and banks’ lending criteriain the case of the need for mortgagefinance to buy a home.He explained that a downward/

upward trend in the abovementionedtwo housing affordability ratios impliesthat house prices and mortgagerepayments are rising at a slower/faster pace than household disposableincome. The result is that housing is ineffect becoming more or less afford-able. He pointed out that the value ofoutstanding mortgage balances in thehousehold sector showed growth ofaround 3% year on year towards theend of 2012, reflecting of the state ofhousehold finances, consumer creditrecords, consumer confidence andresidential property market conditionsin general.The ratio of outstanding household

mortgage debt to disposable incomewas 41% in the third quarter of 2012

from 41,4% in the second quarterof 2013 as a result of quarter-on-quarter growth of 0,7% in householdmortgage debt and growth of 1,7% innominal disposable income.Households’ outstanding mortgage

debt was 54% of total debt balancesin the third quarter of 2012 from54,5% in the preceding quarter andthe cost of servicing household mort-gage debt as a percentage of dispos-able income was 3,5% from 3,7% inquarter two of 2013. Du Toit said thiswas because of growth in householdmortgage debt and nominal disposableincome, impacting the mortgage debtratio, as well as a lower mortgageinterest rate in the third quarter.On interest rates, he said because

lending rates (banks’ prime and vari-able mortgage rates currently at 8.5%per annum) are at their lowest levelin almost four decades and monthlymortgage repayments are in gen-eral 35,9% lower compared to earlyDecember 2008, when the mortgagerate was 15,5%. Low interest ratesfavour the affordability of mortgagefinance, supporting the demand forhousing and consumers’ ability to takeup credit to buy property.

maining a scoop is of utmost importance in theunison between SABC cameraman LlewellynCarstens and wife Marietie Louw-Carstens,Beeld’s representative in Limpopo. With bothbeing driven by news-related events, they in-deed talk shop after a long day when they canrelate to the same things as they find commonground in similar challenges, mentions Marietie.When they relate their experiences in

journalism they tell of exciting times. Llewellyn,who has been engaged in camera work forthe past 22 years, has memories of cover-ing all sorts of news. This varied from beautypageants to rock shows and the then SunshineCircuit while working in Gauteng. He spent astint in Polokwane from 1995 to 2000 before

returning to Johannesburg for another fiveyears where he worked on documentaries. Thisallowed him to explore the planet, shooting inplaces like Russia, China, India, America and inAfrica, including Mozambique, the Ivory Coast,the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)and Rwanda. In 2001 he formed part of theteam covering presidential news and travelledto several countries while Mr Thabo Mbeki heldthe position.He once had to kiss goodbye a pair of new

boots he wore while shooting the aftermath ofan erupted volcano in Goma in the DRC, wherehe managed to cover a mere five metres ofmolten lava within 10 minutes on foot. On an-other occasion and accompanied by televisionpersonality Freek Robinson he was confrontedby two soldiers on Tiananmen Square in Bei-jing. In Mumbai in India the two of them werequestioned for filming the Police headquarterswithout realising it was a key structure. At aUnited Nations base in Angola he was accostedby two gunmen armed with AK-47s while fever-ishly filming while having limited opportunity.He has fallen from a few moving vehicles andwas shot in the leg with a rubber bullet in thepast, Marietie laughingly adds to the tale.After attempting for weeks to obtain

permission to gain access to a prison in Perufor purposes of a documentary to be screened

living limpopo>>

1 cameramanand 1 journomixed together for a success recipe

on national television, he managed to shootthe core of a programme on South Africans indetention under cover within two days. Duringthe visit he noticed the emblems of prison-ers’ favourite soccer teams on the walls of theinstitution. As he came round a corner he wasconfronted by that of Orlando Pirates. Thou-sands of air miles from home it gave him goosebumps, Llewellyn says.He has a stash of photos serving as memory

of all the trips he had undertaken during hiscareer. Asked which newsmaker he would sin-gle out, he is quick to relate a moment duringwhich Mandela lent him a helping hand whenhe stepped back while filming the arrival of thenewsmaker at old Peter Mokaba Stadium sometime back and stumbled over a little girl whomLlewellyn did not notice passing behind him.The then President subsequently stopped in histracks to help him up after he took a dive, helaughs. He also has the customary posed shotwith Mandela, taken at a plane on the tarmacin Durban.Where he is continuously fixed on getting

the best shot to provide the viewer with other

visual alternatives, Marietie is not as attuned togetting photos but the story instead. Workingfor a daily she has several scoops that come tomind. They are all stories the Afrikaans readingpublic will relate to... the account of HappySindane, the brutal murder of SBV guards, thecourt case against Modimolle resident JohanKotzé, the kidnapping of a little girl in Pretoriaand a fire gutting the station building in thatcity. She regards being bestowed the 2005 and2007 Beeld awards for best correspondent aswell as last year’s Journalist of the Year awardas career highlights.Marietie says whereas she cannot go with-

out news updates for longer than two days,Llewellyn can switch off and take to locationson his mountain bike. With these two peopleeating, breathing and dreaming aspects of jour-nalistic expression, no one would blame themthen that phrases like “on the scene” form partof their household vocabulary.They share a love for the province, which

Marietie says is dear to her. While she likensliving in Limpopo to being home, Llewellyn saysthat of the entire country. They choose to de-

fine Limpopo’s heartbeatby referring to its culturaldiversity. They find thepeople peace-loving andfriendly. Most amaz-ing of all are Limpopo’slandscapes, reckonsLlewellyn. It is his wifewho has the last saythough: “Limpopo is be-ing treated as the step-child of South Africa. It isa pity. We have forests,baobabs, everything...”

>> “Slegs ongeveer 12%van leerders inPolokwanelees oppeil en vinniggenoeg”MaRiëttESnydER>> [email protected]

“Die afgelope paar jaar het diealgemene stand van geletterdheid(lees- en skryfvaardighede) pro-gressief onder kinders verswak omdatmeer leerders basiese onderrig in hultweede of selfs derde taal ontvang,”sê me Debbie Kampherbeek, eienaarvan die plaaslike Stimulus Maksima-takwat haar daarop toespits om leerdersin verskeie grade se leesstandaard aante spreek en te verbeter.Polokwane Observer het Kam-

pherbeek oor algemene leesproblemeen hul bevinding van leerders severmoëns, gevra.Sy sê min leerders kan teen die

gewenste leesspoed van sy of haarouderdom en graad lees en dat hullemin kennis van verskillende leesstra-tegieë toepaslik vir die werk wat hy ofsy moet doen, het.“Geletterdheid is ‘n sleutelvaardig-

heid en leerders wat nie die gewen-ste vaardigheidsvlak het nie, vorderakademies stadig. Dit het weer anderprobleme soos ‘n swak selfbeeld endie onvermoë om werkstukke, toetse,vraestelle en eksamen in die vereistetyd af te lê en te voltooi, tot gevolg,”sê sy.Sy sê die oorsaak van dié groei-

ende probleem is dat kinders niemeer lees nie en te veel tyd voor dietelevisie spandeer. “Kinders moetleesfiks bly. Ouers werk baie lang ureom te sorg dat die begroting klop entydrowende tydverdrywe soos leesvir of saam met jou kinders, word niemeer beoefen nie. Kinders ervaar niemeer lees as ‘n aangename tydverdryfnie,” sê sy.Sy voeg by dat daar baie aandag

aan die ontwikkeling van graad 1 tot3-leerders se leesvermoë gegee worden dan is die veronderstelling gewoon-lik dat die kind kan lees. “Die voortset-ting en verfyning van leesstrategieëbly in die slag, nie omdat die onder-wyser nie haar werk doen nie, maardie sillabus verg ‘n klemverskuiwing.Swak lesers word dikwels korter ofminder geleentheid gegee om hardopte lees omdat dit moeilik gaan en ditvir die leerder ‘n verleentheid is ofomdat die onderwyser elke leerder ‘n

kans moet gee en daar nie tyd is omdie swakker leser ekstra tyd te geenie,” sê sy.Sy sê die oplossing is dat ouers hul-

self vergewis van hul kind se leesver-moë. “Moenie net aanvaar of dink datjou kind goed lees nie. Slegs ongeveer12% leerders in Polokwane lees oppeil en vinnig genoeg,” sê sy. Sy verteldat dit nie net laerskoolleerders is watmet leesprobleme sukkel nie, maardat die eise aan hoërskoolleerdersmeer omvattend is omdat ‘n graad12-leerder wat beplan om by ‘n ter-siêre instelling aan te sluit, ten minste200 woorde per minuut moet lees omgemaklik deur sy studies te kom.Haar wenk aan ouers is om van

vakspesialiste gebruik te maak.“Remedieer betyds, die emosionelebagasie wat ‘n kind moet saamdraomdat hy of sy nie presteer nie, is on-nodig,” sê sy.“Begin vroeg en maak jou kind lief

vir lees. Blaai ‘n boek of tydskrif saamdeur of lees saam op die rekenaar - ditis ook ‘n leesvaardigheid. Om storiesvir ‘n kleuter te lees is onontbeerlik virgeborgenheid, woordeskat-uitbreidingen taalvermoë. Lees saam uit die By-bel, of gee hul geleentheid om te lees.Al gaan dit sukkel-sukkel, ons moetalmal iewers begin,” is haar raad.

Two Aganang municipal traffic officersarrested for allegedly taking bribeswhile on duty might have to wait a bitlonger to have their day in court aftertheir court appearance was moved

and no date set.The pair, Messrs Ronny Molapo and

Thabo Mothoa were supposed to ap-pear in the Seshego Magistrate’s Courton Thursday but the case was movedto Matlala under whose jurisdictionthey worked and were arrested.Matlala Police Spokesperson, Const

Rachel Shokane said the accused’slawyer forgot to inform them that thecase had been moved and they there-fore did not appear at any court.“The case was also received late in

Matlala but investigations are continu-ing even though a date of appearancehas not been set yet,” Shokane said.

Foreign sounds and more familiar localones rose from the background. TheArabic oud, the Indian tablah, theAfrican djembe, the American boom-whacker and the Hawaiian ukelele satcomfortably side by side awaiting play.The stage was set for a union of 19artists from Limpopo, Israel, Pales-tine, Denmark, Norway and Swedenwho met in Polokwane for a nine-dayprogramme of music and dialoguecommencing last Thursday.They were brought together by the

Music on Troubled Grounds project,which is steered by Spiritus Mundi inSweden. Spiritus Mundi Chief Execu-tive Officer and Founder Henrik Meliusexplained that they were invited toPolokwane by Itumeleng Innova-tion Centre for Youth DevelopmentExecutive Director Mothomoni Mapela,based in Seshego, when they met in2011. With evident passion for thework they do across borders, Meliusspoke of a programme uniting indi-viduals through musical expression.

Their projects take them to the farcorners of the world, as is the casein Jordan where they have an officewhile another is due for opening inEgypt this year.Melius, who was a songwriter

and producer in America in the past,explained that the collective con-sciousness in Egypt was different tothe situation in Jordan where therewas no access to music and art. Itmade him happy to see lives enrichedthrough musical expression that wasbeing made available to beneficiaries,he said.Some of the artists who joined

them in Limpopo were new to theproject while four of the visiting artistshave been involved from the onsetwhen the platform was created in2009, he added. Over the years theyhave seen challenges, such as theIsraeli and Palestinian artists to enterinto dialogue with one another. “Itis a chance for both parties to seethe human behind the conflict. It isa small attempt to make the optionfor dialogue available. It is not aboutcreating peace but give them the

chance to see thehuman behindthe conflict.” Heconceded thatthe subjects werevery sensitiveand could onlybe achieved by anon-governmen-tal organisation.At the same time,Melius stressed, it

was important for the artists to get anunderstanding of the truth and recon-ciliation process in South Africa.Music truly became the language

in such a situation and could be usedas common denominator, addedHansson. All the artists were curiousindividuals who seemed to be veryopen-minded and willing to learn,Hansson said. They would be docu-menting the South African process andposted video clips on Youtube to sharethe experience through social mediatools.It is the first time they got to work

in South Africa and the kindness andhospitality have been overwhelm-ing, Melius said and on a humoristicnote exclaimed: “That is where ourcold-hearted Swedes have a lot tolearn.” Upon completion of the projectthe Spiritus Mundi team would stayon for evaluations and discussions,they indicated. They would want tosee the project continue in Limpopo,but would first have to focus on theweek’s results.Their Limpopo stay would at least

allow for limited travel to the KrugerNational Park, Phalaborwa, Tzaneenand George’s Valley, they said.The week’s activities will culminate

in a performance and panel discussionto be held at Honeymoon Lodge today(Thursday) at 14:00. The show isopen to the public and free of charge.Spiritus Mundi translates into the

spirit of the world and with them theteam brought a first to Limpopo. It isa presence that ostensibly will lingerlong after they have departed.

Phalaborwa has been declaredthe permanent home of theMarula Festival because of itstourism profile and proximity toother major tourist destinations,including world renowned KrugerNational Park incorporated withinthe Greater Limpopo TransfrontierPark including Mozambique andZimbabwe.MEC for Economic Develop-

ment, Environment and Tourism,Ms Pinky Kekana said during thelaunch of the festival in Phalabor-wa on Monday: “We were correctto have chosen Phalaborwa aspermanent home of Marula Festi-val, given its well-developed infra-structure, a top class airport andgolf course, a wide variety of tour-ist accommodation, tourism prod-ucts and numerous game lodges

in close proximity. The event isundoubtedly one contributor ofthe Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality’seconomy, while it significantly alsocontributes to the economy of theprovince,” Kekana said.We are optimistic that the town

of Phalaborwa with its capac-ity of 1 349 beds will be fullybooked due to this event and thisis good news for the tourism andhospitality sector in the province.Our wish is to see a proliferationof tourism products in the areathereby growing tourism in thedistrict,” she added.The MEC further referred to

the benefit ordinary people derivefrom the festival and specificallymentioned that nine MukumpiCooperatives, with 90 activemembers, have been registered

from the various district mu-nicipalities and are producingMarula by-products.She also expressed the

hope that the festival willcontinue to grow in its part-nership with key stakeholderslike Ba-Phalaborwa Municipal-ity, Provincial Governmentand the private sector.Phalaborwa has been

hosting the festival since2007 and has become one ofthe flagship events draw-ing droves of people to theprovince.

Where tonow,bafanabafana?Bafana Bafana’s hopes of progressing to thesemi-finals of the Orange African Cup of Na-tions and eventually winning the tournamentwere dashed when Mali knocked them out ofthe competition in a 3-1 defeat on Saturdayat Moses Mabhida Stadium. Polokwane Ob-server asked several persons for their opinionabout what went wrong since Bafana Bafana’striumph in 2006. We asked them to predict thewinner from the semi-finalists, Mali, BurkinaFaso, Nigeria and Ghana.

>> Ms Pauline Mak-gato, Molemole Mayor:“They did their best inthe tournament. Theymust go back to thedrawing board and seewere they went wrong.as for who will win thetournament, I thinkNigeria will emergevictorious, they have

got a strategy.”>> Ms Denise Claassen,Principal PietersburgComprehensive School:“They played well, theyhad a good tourna-ment, but they shouldhave practiced the pen-alties. as for who willwin the tournament, itcould go either way.”

>> Mr Soviet Lekgan-yane, aNC ProvincialSecretary: “They didwell. We would haveloved to see themgoing through, butonly one team could goto to the semi-finals.Those things happenin football. We have avery good squad with

good players, but we don’t have a team. Thecoach must get the combinations right. Ithink ghana will take it. They are consistent,they play as a unit and they have a pedigreefor big tournaments.”

>> Mr Dickson Masem-ola, MeC for education:“Whereas one is disap-pointed with the factthat Bafana Bafanacould not proceed tothe semi-finals, theirperformance, giventhe short period thenew technical staffhad with team, is

encouraging. This trend of changing coachesregularly should not continue. There shouldbe consistency. We should have a plan tointegrate young players now as we preparefor World Cup qualifications and beyond. Letus continue to support the national team. Ithink ghana will win the tournament basedon their performance during the 2010 FifaWorld Cup.”

>> Mr Tendani Thi-diela, CommunicationsManager, Black Leop-ards: “Look, gordonIngusund got the joblate, but he managedto take the team tothe quarterfinals ofthe tournament. Forme they did well andhis real effort now is

to qualify for the 2014 Fifa World Cup. as forthe team that will win the tournament, I ambacking Burkina Faso. There is that some-thing special about the team.”

>> Tebogo Makgabo,Head Boy, PietersburgComprehensive School:“The defence let usdown. even our strikerscould not score clearcut chances. againstMali we scored a vitalgoal but we failedto defend that goal.Nigeria will take this

one, they have quality players who are plyingtheir trade in big european leagues.”

>> Melinda Moya,Head girl, PietersburgComprehensive School:“I think they did wellunder the circumstanc-es. They were just letdown by their defenceand not convertingtheir chances. as forthe team that will winthe tournament. I think

ghana has it all.”

die ondersteuners groot oorwinningsvan die Toyota Cheetahs wil sien,maar die voorbereidingswedstrydedien juis as voorbereiding vir die grootkompetisies wat later volg.Talle beseerde spelers het die

afgelope week hul terugkeer tot die oe-fenveld gemaak en na lang herstel- envoorbereidingsessies om terug te keer,is dit bemoedigend om te weet dat hulfiksheidsvlakke op standaard is. Daargaan egter nie nou onnodige kansemet beseerde spelers of spelers watpas teruggekeer het gewaag word nie.Fiksheidskundiges is opgewonde

oor die span se fiksheidspeil en ver-skeie toetse om onder meer krag enuithouvermoë te toets, word gedoen.Afrigters en hulpafrigters is dit eensdat daar ‘n groot verbetering tenopsigte van spelers se fiksheidsvlakkein vergelyking met vorige jare is.Van die topspelers wat beseer was

en stelselmatig terugkeer, is Juan

Smith, Frans Viljoen, Lappies La-buschagne, Philip van der Walt, RiaanSmit, Rayno Benjamin, Johan Sadieen Boom Prinsloo terwyl HeinrichBrüssow, Coenie Oosthuizen, JohanGoosen en Andries Ferreira nog inherstelfases is. Johan Goosen salwaarskynlik eerste gereed wees om tespeel, daarna Coenie Oosthuizen enHeinrich Brüssow gevolg deur AndriesFerreira wat na die toer van die ToyotaCheetahs in Maart gereed sal wees.Die wedstryd verlede naweek teen

die Stormers was ‘n groot uitdagingvir die Toyota Cheetahs en die spelerssal graag ‘n regmerk agter hul naamwil kry om in die finale groep van 30spelers ingesluit te word.

die pawiljoen wat ons ondersteunen elke oomblik vir die spelers diemoeite werd maak,” sê hy.Hy sê dat hulle elke jaar goed

deur Polokwane-inwoners ontvangword en die stad die vriendelikstemense huisves.Hy sê verder dat die span

Black Leopards are aiming to reach anotherfinal of the Nedbank Cup when they hostsecond division outfit Cape Town All Stars inthe last 32 round of the Nedbank Cup at PeterMokaba Stadium on 27 February.In 2011 Lidoda Duvha became the second

National First Division (NFD) outfit after BlackAces to reach the final of the competition wherethey lost 3-1 to Orlando Pirates.Despite being knocked out in the early stages

of the tournament by Kaizer Chiefs last feat,Club Spokesperson Tendani Thidiela is ada-mant that they can repeat the 2011 heroics.

“That was a good year for us. I rememberwe were still in the NFD then, fighting forpromotion and Nedbank Cup glory. We havenever won any major cup competition before.We managed to reach the final in 2011, thatwas how close we were to the trophy,” Thidielasaid.He also acknowledged that the preparations

for the encounter are afoot. “We are 80% fitat the moment. Our technical team is work-ing very hard to get the boys ready before thematch. We still have two Absa Premiership fix-tures before that Nedbank Cup fixture. We willbe playing Bidvest Wits and Chippa United atthe stadium, so we will be ready by the time,”Thidiela said.

feated amateur record of six straight wins

Naumann ready for his first pro fightdispatching all but one opponent in the firstround thereby getting a notable 18 secondknockout victory and making one of the mostanticipated debuts in EFC (Extreme FightingChampionships) Africa history.Naumann started off with kick boxing with

trainer Roelf Venter and later with Mixed Mar-tial Arts (MMA) under Jan Roets from Guts andGlory MMA in Polokwane.In his first three years he concentrated on

grappling to get his basis right for MMA. Hesays that it is important to be good in all three

elements of MMA to make your mark in theprofessional ring.He says that if you want to become

professional in MMA you have to belong to aregistered club affiliated to the South AfricanSports Confederation and Olympic Committee(Sascoc) and members must be registeredto Amateur Mixed Martial Arts Association ofSouth Africa (Ammasa). Fighters need to winsix fights in a row or have 10 cage fights onhis record. A fighter needs to appear in frontof the Professional Mixed Martial Arts Council

(Promma) to do a fitness and physical exami-nation before he can receive a professionallicence.Naumann says that there are lots of un-

registered clubs in Limpopo and in Polokwanewho does not comply with the basic regula-tions. He says any amateur participating inone of these illegal fights would not be al-lowed by Promma to take part in EFC fights.Naumann is looking for sponsors to start

who lost in the final to France. In the sameyear, Ralepelle was included in the SpringbokTri-Nations squad, where he made his debutwhen coming off the bench against Australia at

Loftus Versveld on 26 August.Ralepelle wrote his name in the history

books of South African rugby during theSpringbok tour to Europe at the end of2006. He was named as the captain forthe match against a World XV at WalkersStadium in Leicester, becoming the firstblack captain and youngest player to leadout the national team.

Om fiks te wees beteken nie dat jybultende spiere op elke moont-like plek op jou liggaam het nie;

dit gaan meer oor hoeveel repetisiesvan verskillende oefeninge jy in ‘nbepaalde tyd kan doen.En dit is wat die Crossfit-oefenpro-

gram ‘n persoon wat behoorlik fiks wilword, lede bied.Charl Liversage (24), ‘n Crossfit-lid

het homself tydens die strawwe CrossfitFittest in Cape Town-kompetisie inKaapstad op 26 en 27 Januarie bewystoe hy ‘n algehele derde podiumplekbehaal het.“Dit is ‘n groot prestasie en eer. Ek

en my afrigter, David van Ryneveld hetvir ‘n plek onder die toptien gehoop,maar was albei verras oor die derdeplek,” sê Liversage.Volgens hom is Crossfit ‘n program

vir mense wat in meeste sportsoortegoed presteer. Tydens oefening enkompetisies word jy volgens ‘n verskei-denheid fiksheidskomponente geëva-

lueer soos op jou hande loop, touklim,gewigte optel, swem en atletiek.“’n Mens raak liggaamlik en emo-

sioneel uitgeput. Ek wou self op ‘nstadium tydens die kompetisie my goedvat en loop. As jy eers oor die gevoelvan opgee kom, word jy verras omte besef waartoe ‘n mens se liggaamwerklik in staat is. “Ek is die soort watmyself druk tot my liggaam nie meerkan nie en het al flou geword omdat eknie einde aan oefening het nie,” sê hy.Dit is nou byna ‘n jaar wat Liversage

teen ander Crossfitlede wat jarelangelede is, kompeteer.“Ek was sedert laerskooldae versot

op rugby en het selfs vir die LimpopoBlou Bulle en BB Truck and TractorNoordelike Rugbyklub (Noordelikes)uitgedraf, maar moes die sport prysgeeas gevolg van ‘n handoperasie,” sêhy. Hy het ook goed in skoleatletiekpresteer en verskeie keer aan die Suid-Afrikaanse Kampioenskappe deelge-neem. Hy het veral goed in naellope enverspring presteer. As tiener het hy alure in gimnasiums spandeer.Oor sy liefde vir sport en oefening

sê hy: “Vandat ek kan onthou het ekvan oefen en sport gehou. Al wat inmy kop is, is sport, sport en nogmaalssport,” sê hy. Sy volgende doel is omaan die Crossfit Ope-kampioenskappeen Crossfit Streekkampioenskappe(Fittest in Africa) deel te neem wat inMaart begin. Liversage sê dat Crossfiten liggaamsbou soos dag en nag verskilen dat steroïdegebruik taboe is. “Dit is

niks meer as egte liggaamlike en emo-sionele uithouvermoë nie. My sukses lêin my liefde vir oefening, deursettings-vermoë en toegewydheid,” sê hy.Liversage kon aan niks anders

as oefening dink as hy oorstokperdjies gevra word nie.“Ek weet nie. Ek oefen net. Ekdink nie ek het stokperdjiesnie,” skerts hy. As hy welnie oefen nie, bring hy sykant as mede-eienaar van‘n paneelklopperfirma indie stad of spandeertyd saam met syvrou. Hy is ook liefvir kosmaak maarsê: “ Ek eet lekkeren volg nie ‘ndieetplan nie. Dithou gewoonliknet twee daedan gee ek op.”Sy raad aan

jonges watgraag wil fiksword is: “Bly wegvan verbode mid-dels, eet reg en oefen hard. Jy moetgemotiveerd wees en met ‘n missiejou oefeninge aanpak.”Hy sê Crossfit bied ideale mo-

tivering omdat hegte bande tydensklasse gesmee word en lede me-kaar ondersteun. Hy het sy dankteenoor Van Ryneveld uitgespreekwat hom help om goed vir diekompetisies voor te berei.
