Tshidiso Patrick Bochedi en Mojalefa Modise is Vrydag in die rondgaande hof in Welkom, Vrystaat, elkeen tot twee keer lewenslange tronkstraf gevonnis vir die moord op Pieter Hills (56) en sy seun, Eddie (26). Regter Anthia Maria Ramos het die twee ook elkeen tot ʼn bykomende vyf jaar tronkstraf gevonnis op aanklagte van huisbraak en poging tot huisroof met verswarende omstandighede. Die vonnisse sal gelyklopend uitgedien word. Pieter is op 6 November 2020 op hul plaas by Hennenman op teregstellingswyse doodgeskiet en Eddie is in die nek geskiet nadat hulle in hul plaashuis in Zwartpan aangeval is. Eddie is die daaropvolgende Woensdag oorlede, nadat hy die Maandag in die Milpark-hospitaal in Johannesburg breindood verklaar is. Die verhoor het vandeesmaand ná meer as twee jaar sedert die moord afgeskop. Die beskuldigdes het hul betrokkenheid by die moorde erken, waarna die skuldigbevinding
ARTIKEL DEUR: MAROELA MEDIA
Die familie van die 21-jarige Brendin Horner soek ná twee jaar steeds geregtigheid vir sy dood, wat hulle beskryf as “sinneloos” en “beplan”. Volgens sy broer Basjan skuil daar meer agter Brendin se moord en was dit nie net “nog ʼn plaasaanval” nie. Niks rakende die ondersoek of hofsaak maak vir die familie sin nie en hulle ervaar erge frustrasie omdat die saak skynbaar “ ʼn doodloopstraat bereik het”. Twee verdagtes, Sekola Matlaletsa (45) en Sekwetje Mahlamba (33), is in November 2021 onskuldig bevind op Horner se moord omdat DNS-toetse nie die twee met die moordtoneel kon verbind nie. Hulle word nog wel vir die diefstal van twee skape vervolg. “Daar is ʼn
slang in die gras wat bly seil en ons kan net hoop en vertrou dat die slang gou gevang sal word,” sê Basjan. Inligting oor polisiebetrokkenheid by veediefstalsindikate in die Vrystaat doen lank reeds die ronde en soos vroeër berig, is daar gerugte dat dié misdadigers moontlik met Horner se moord verbind word. “ʼn Mens het jou vermoedens, maar sonder enige bewyse is jou hande afgekap Veral as grootkoppe moontlik betrokke is.” Volgens Basjan is die familie in die hande van die gereg oorgelaat, wat volgens hom hulle in die steek gelaat het deur die verdagtes vry te spreek. “Die land is in chaos gedompel, juis omdat skelms vry rondloop.” Die polisie ondersoek die saak nog, maar maak skynbaar geen vordering nie en verskeie private ondersoeke is die afgelope twee jaar van stapel gestuur om agter die kap van die byl te probeer kom. Die Brendin Horner-stigting het Donderdag aangedui dat hy self ʼn private ondersoek na die aangeleentheid van stapel sal stuur. Horner is op 1 Oktober 2020 op ʼn plaas in die Paul Roux-omgewing in die Vrystaat vermoor en sy liggaam is aan ʼn paal in ʼn veld op die plaas vasgemaak. Die nadoodse ondersoek het verwurging as die oorsaak van Horner se dood aangedui Volgens Basjan was Horner se moord “alles behalwe net nog ʼn rooftog,” aangesien dit in die hof uitgekom het dat niks gesteel is nie. “Sy bakkie is sowat 30 km van sy liggaam gevind en sy selfoon is nie eers daaruit gesteel nie. Hulle het daardie dag gekom met die doel om my broer te vermoor.” Basjan glo daar skuil simboliek agter die feit dat Horner se liggaam aan ʼn paal vasgemaak is. “Die moordenaars wou ʼn punt daarmee bewys.” WOEDE,
VERLANGE GAAN NOOIT WEG: Basjan worstel daarmee dat sy geliefde broer juis die slagoffer van só ʼn wrede moord moes wees.
“Daardie oggend toe ek die oproep kry dat my
toe Donderdag gevolg het. Die staat het tydens die verhoor aangevoer die beskuldigdes het die moord haarfyn beplan deur die dag by die plaashuis in te breek en die slagoffers in te wag. Drie mense is aanvanklik ná die moord in hegtenis geneem, maar die derde verdagte, David Papi Mabai, het sy eie lewe ʼn dag ná die moord in die aanhoudingselle geneem. Maroela Media het vroeër berig ʼn werker van die Hills-gesin het op 6 November omstreeks 05:00 op Pieter en Eddie in die plaashuis afgekom, nadat Pieter se vrou, Antoinette, haar gebel en gevra het om ondersoek in te stel. Sy was nie tuis ten tyde van die aanval nie en kon hulle nie in die hande kry nie, waarna sy die werker genader het. Eddie het glo die rowers op heterdaad betrap toe hy by die plaashuis op Zwartpan aangekom het. Die verdediging en aanklaer in die saak sal nou onderskeidelik vir versagting en verswaring van die vonnis pleit
broer vermoor is, het iets in my hart verander Jy kan nie vir iemand verduidelik hoe jy voel nie. Ek wens dit nie eers vir my grootste vyand toe nie.” Soos die tyd aanstap, word die woede en verlange nie beter nie en volgens Basjan sal hy nooit kan vrede maak met wat gebeur het nie. “Dit voel asof ʼn mens wil wraak neem. Ons is kwaad oor Brendin koelbloedig vermoor is en wil net hê reg en geregtigheid moet geskied.” Vir die familie sal geregtigheid seëvier indien die skuldiges “vir goed toegesluit word”. Maar of hulle dan berusting sal vind, twyfel Basjan sterk. Horner se ouers woon tans op ʼn plaas tussen Bothaville en Orkney en Basjan werk as plaasbestuurder op ʼn plaas in die Harrismithomgewing. Horner se pa, Robbie, het as werktuigkundige op ʼn plaas buite Bethlehem gewerk, maar het ʼn ruk ná Horner se moord bedank omdat daar te veel slegte herinneringe vir hom was, vertel Basjan GROOT LEEMTE: Vir Basjan was Horner ʼn wonderlike broer en sou hy ook eendag ʼn goeie pa wees, vertel hy. “Hy was so goed met my kinders en het in ʼn kort tyd ʼn groot impak in hul lewe gehad. My vyfjarige seuntjie kom soms na my toe en vra:
‘Waar is oom Brendin?’.” Die broers was saam in Laerskool Wildehondepan in SchweizerReneke, Noordwes, en het aan Hoërskool Sannieshof gematrikuleer Basjan is ses jaar ouer as Horner. Die twee het op ʼn plaas grootgeword en dit is hier waar hul liefde vir boer gekweek is. In Horner se vrye tyd het hy graag visgevang. “Hy sou graag oor naweke sy visstok vat en dam toe gaan. Dan was hy op sy gelukkigste.” Die Brendin Horner-monument is in Oktober verlede jaar by Baberspan in Noordwes onthul. Horner het as kind baie by hierdie dam visgevang. Basjan beskryf Horner as ʼn rustige mens wat altyd die vrede wou bewaar en wat uit sy pad sou gaan vir sy medemens. “As almal om hom gelukkig was, was hy gelukkig.”

you need a powerful, personal reason to quit. It may be to protect your family from secondhand smoke. Or lower your chance of getting lung cancer, heart disease, or other conditions. Or to look and feel younger. Choose a reason that is strong enough to outweigh the urge to light up. 2 Prepare Before You Go 'Cold Turkey‘There’s more to it than just tossing your cigarettes out. Smoking is an addiction. The brain is hooked on nicotine. Without it, you’ll go through withdrawal. Line up support in advance. Ask your doctor about all the methods that will help, such as quitsmoking classes and apps, counseling, medication, and hypnosis. You’ll be ready for the day you choose to quit.
3. Consider Nicotine Replacement Therapy - When you stop smoking, nicotine withdrawal may give you headaches, affect your mood, or sap your energy. The craving for “just one drag” is tough. Nicotine replacement therapy can curb these urges. Studies show that nicotine gum, lozenges, and patches improve your chances of success when you’re also in a quit-smoking program.
4. Learn About Prescription PillsMedicines can curb cravings and may also make smoking less satisfying if you do pick up a cigarette. Other drugs can ease withdrawal symptoms, such as depression or problems with concentration. 5. Lean On Your Loved Ones - Tell your friends, family, and other people you’re close to that you’re trying to quit. They can encourage you to keep going, especially when you’re tempted to light up. You can also join a support group or talk to a counselor. Behavioral therapy is a type of counseling that helps you identify and stick to quitsmoking strategies. Even a few sessions may help. 6. Give Yourself a Break - One reason people smoke is that the nicotine
helps them relax. Once you quit, you’ll need new ways to unwind. There are many options. You can exercise to blow off steam, tune in to your favorite music, connect with friends, treat yourself to a massage, or make time for a hobby. Try to avoid stressful situations during the first few weeks after you stop smoking. 7. Avoid Alcohol and Other Triggers - When you drink, it’s harder to stick to your no-smoking goal. So try to limit alcohol when you first quit. Likewise, if you often smoke when you drink coffee, switch to tea for a few weeks. If you usually smoke after meals, find something else to do instead, like brushing your teeth, taking a walk, texting a friend, or chewing gum. 8. Clean House - Once you’ve smoked your last cigarette, toss all of your ashtrays and lighters. Wash any clothes that smell like smoke, and clean your carpets, draperies, and upholstery. Use air fresheners to get rid of that familiar scent. If you smoked in your car, clean it out, too. You don’t want to see or smell anything that reminds you of smoking. 9. Try and Try Again - Many people try several times before giving up cigarettes for good. If you light up, don’t get discouraged. Instead, think about what led to your relapse, such as your emotions or the setting you were in. Use it as an opportunity to step up your commitment to quitting. Once you’ve made the decision to try again, set a “quit date” within the next month. 10 Get Moving - Being active can curb nicotine cravings and ease some withdrawal symptoms. When you want to reach for a cigarette, put on your inline skates or jogging shoes instead. Even mild exercise helps, such as walking your dog or pulling weeds in the garden. The calories you burn will also ward off weight gain as you quit smoking. 11. Eat Fruits and Veggies - Don’t try to diet while you give up cigarettes. Too much deprivation can easily backfire. Instead, keep things simple and try to eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. These are good for your whole body. 12. Choose Your Reward - In addition to all the health benefits, one of the perks of giving up cigarettes is all the money you will save. There are online calculators that figure out how much richer you will be. Reward yourself by spending part of it on something fun. 13. Remember That Time Is on Your Side - As soon as you quit, you start to get immediate health benefits. After only 20 minutes, your heart rate goes back to normal. Within a day, your blood’s carbon monoxide level also falls back into place. In just 2-3 weeks, you will start to lower your odds of having a heart attack. In the long run, you will also lower your chance of getting lung cancer and other cancers.

Klink nogal vreemd op die oor of hoe? 'n Vriend vertel vir my dat hierdie woorde destyds deur 'n korporaal gebruik is toe hulle in die weermag kom. Nou ja, die woorde was waarskynlik nie ge-uiter deur iemand wat bekommerd was oor die troepe se siele nie, maar eerder dat hy daarmee te kenne gegee het dat hulle nooit deur hierdie weermag-hel gaan kom sonder hulp nie. Almal wat destyds weermag toe is, het geweet hulle is in vir 'n "rough ride", en dit was inderdaad so. Dit was egter net 'n miljoen keer rowwer as wat jy kon dink. En hier staan ons aan die begin van 'n nuwe jaar, en ek vermoed ons is in vir 'n "rough ride". En ek stel voor jy kry vir jou die enigste God, indien jy Hom nie reeds in jou hoek het nie. Daar is sprake van 'n wêreldwye resessie, Eskom se onvermoë gaan hordes maatskappye se ondergang beteken en daar gaan werkverliese wees, die regering het totaal die pap op die grond laat val en die silwer randjie om die wolk lyk maar yl Ek stel voor jy kry vir jou dié enigste God. Dié Een wat altyd daar is, en jou anderkant uit kan kry, want die vader weet, jy kan op geen ander hulp staatmaak nie. Definitief nie op mense nie. Maar wat help dit Hy is in jou hoek? Gaan alles dan net gelyk waters op 'n gladde oseaan wees? Nee, gewis nie! Hou vas aan Hom, asof niks wat sleg is jou gaan tref nie. Maar indien die slegte goed wat jy só vrees jou tref, hou vas aan Hom tot jy deur die storm is. En as die storm net eenvoudig nie wil bedaar nie, hou vas aan Hom en klou verbete aan sy enkels vas, want dis baie beter as enige ander alternatief. En as die heel ergste van die ergste jou tref en jou lewe voel of dit uitmekaar val, hou vas aan Hom totdat Hy die stukke weer opgetel het en jou weer heel gemaak het. Kry betyds vir jou dié God, want al word jou lewe hierdie jaar gekenmerk deur nét ongekende voorspoed, het jy iemand nodig om te bedank Wie is groter as Hy? En wie is tot meer in staat as Hy? En wie anders kan jy bedank? Definitief géén ander god nie! Kies reg, en kies betyds "Laat my elke môre u liefde ondervind, want in U stel ek my vertroue. Wys my die pad wat ek moet loop, want my hoop is op U gevestig." (Ps. 143:8). Ek en Wilna wens vir jou en jou geliefdes 'n goeie week toe, uitdagings en al. Mag julle geseënd wees. Dankie ook dat jy deel is van Heuning

Ek het geen te kort aan drama in my eie lewe nie, maar jy kry nou mos daai meisies wat drama tot 'n hele nuwe vlak toe vat Alles is beter en groter en jy is convinced dis Chuck Norris se sussie want alles wat jy doen het sy natuurlik beter gedoen. Totdat sy dit actually moet begin doen dan brand die huisie vinniger af as wat Zuma geld aan nog 'n Nkandla kan bestee En dan is dit mos nou jou skuld want dis te klein of dat te min Maar dis nie die storie wat agterna die rondte in die dorp doen nie Sy's die victim, geslag soos'n gesteelde bees en die stukke daar gelos om deur die aasvoëls stuk vir stuk opgepik te word Mandela is nie 'n match vir haar long walk for freedom nie Kry tog asseblief net vir Ellen of Oprah op die lyn oor alles wat sy moes deurmaak #stoppiebuswantjysitdiepotmis Klitsie het nuus vir jou.

1. Know your schedule: When’s our next load shedding? A common refrain in many South African households these days. Forewarned is forearmed. Know your area load shedding schedule in advance by downloading a reliable load shedding app onto your smartphone like EskomSePush. Now you can easily plan when to cook dinner, wash the dishes and do the laundry just in time for the inevitable switch off. 2. Get lit: Use LED rechargeable globes. When power is on they function as a regular light bulbs. They need 810 hours for their power supply to fully charge and will continue to provide light for around 4-5 hours during power outages. Whatever backup form of light you choose, torches, candles or lanterns, make sure that you store them in easy-to-access places around your home. 3. Charge your laptop: Keep your laptop charged. Laptops are great for charging phones and in a pinch, you can also use them to stream your favourite Netflix series or movies. Fetch the popcorn. 4. Put a flask to the task: If you love your coffee or tea, do your future self a favour and fill a thermos flask with boiling water. You’re welcome. 5. Buy a generator: If your budget allows for it – buy a generator. Look at portable generators that will meet the needs of your home by compiling a list of all the appliances that will run on generator power during an outage. Add the amount of power required to run each item
Advertorial:
on your list. Calculate the total wattage of the appliances that will run together to determine what size generator you need. A mid-sized generator may be sufficient to power lighting, computers, and some appliances. Read: How To Choose The Correct Generator. If you live in a complex where a noisy generator is not viable, opt instead for a silent, fume-free inverter to power your electronic equipment. 6. Go solar: Advances in solar power technology offer hybrid systems which function as backup and complementary power. 7. Come on baby light my gas braaier (!): Get yourself a gas cooker or a camping stove. This way you can cook food or boil a kettle even when the lights are out. During winter have a gas heater or fireplace at the ready. 8. Freeze ahead: Freeze water in empty plastic drinking bottles so that when the power goes out you can leave it in the freezer to prevent its contents from thawing. You can also put some into the fridge to keep food colder for longer. 9. Car chargers for phones: Grab a car charger and keep it in the car to make the most of your drive home. Especially if you need that nifty flashlight on your smartphone. 10. Remember to unplug your devices: Load shedding can affect your appliances, as power surges can lead to permanent damage. If possible, install surge protectors on all your large appliances and keep others safely unplugged during load shedding.
Planning ahead of time is vital in the battle against load shedding. Here are 10 tips on how to beat the dark and stay productive during loadshedding…

ONLY R249 PER WEEK (PLACED IN 100 NEWSPAPERS ACROSS SA)
The outgoing Toyota Urban Cruiser will be replaced by the larger Hyryder in South Africa, though it won’t wear that badge in the local market. Here’s a look at what we can expect… Toyota has finally confirmed our suspicions that the Hyryder is coming to South Africa, announcing the latest Indian-built crossover will replace the outgoing Urban Cruiser (and indeed inherit its predecessor’s name) in the local market. The Japanese firm’s local division made the announcement at its 6th annual State of the Motor Industry (SOMI 2023) event, held at Kyalami in Gauteng. The new vehicle was displayed on stage at the event, where Toyota SA Motors also revealed its new Vitz, a rebadged Suzuki Celerio set to replace the Agya. The Hyryder will be badged simply as the new “Urban Cruiser” in South Africa, despite the fact it’s considerably larger than its forebear (and wears the Hyryder suffix in India). Toyota SA Motors plans to release the fresh-faced model in the 2nd quarter of 2023. As a reminder, news of the Urban Cruiser’s shock axing first emerged in November 2022. Despite this, it achieved 3rd place on the list of SA’s best-selling passenger vehicles in 2022, with a total of 16 992 registrations. As we pointed out in our earlier story predicting the Hyryder’s eventual arrival on local soil, the newcomer is yet another product of Toyota’s global alliance with Suzuki. It was developed by Suzuki alongside the closely related new Grand Vitara but is produced by Toyota Kirloskar Motor at its Bidadi plant in India. The outgoing Urban Cruiser, of course, was built by Maruti Suzuki at its Gurgaon facility and based on the Vitara Brezza. Family clash? You may be wondering where the popular Toyota Corolla Cross fits into the scheme of things and at face value, you may think the two products are
potentially rivals. Expected pricing suggests otherwise. At the time of writing (February 2023), the locally built Corolla Cross range started from R371 200, while the outgoing Toyota Urban Cruiser retailed for just R283 200. Measuring 4 365 mm from bow to stern, the Hyryder is 370 mm longer than the outgoing Urban Cruiser, while its wheelbase is 100 mm lengthier at 2 600 mm. That puts the Hyryder fairly close in size to the locally produced Corolla Cross which is 4 460 mm long and has a wheelbase of 2 640 mm. However, we expect Toyota SA Motors to be particularly shrewd with the new model’s engine options and specification list to minimise any overlap. Features and powertrains: That means it won’t (at first that is) employ the relatively expensive hybrid powertrains that do duty in the Indianspec Hyryder. Instead, we’d speculate the new Urban Cruiser will again use Suzuki’s K15B naturally aspirated 1.5litre petrol mill to power the front axle. Toyota SA Motors says the new model will feature an “an all-new SUV design, a larger body with more space, increased safety specification, climate control, cruise control and a reverse camera”. In India, the Hyryder is electrified thanks to Toyota’s 4thgeneration hybrid system. Peaks of 68 kW and 122 Nm from the 1.5-litre motor combine with an electric motor, giving a total system output of 85 kW and 141 Nm. Impressively, Toyota India claims it has a pure electric range of up to 25 km. Another engine offered in that market is the 1.5-litre mildhybrid petrol, which features an integrated starter generator. This powertrain produces 75 kW and 137 Nm. As far as transmissions go, the full hybrid gets what Toyota calls its “edrive” CVT, while the mild-hybrid features either a 5-speed manual or a 6speed torque converter. All-wheel drive is offered, too. Some of the features on offer in India include niceties such as a panoramic sunroof, 17-inch alloy wheels, wireless smartphone charger, head-up display, 360-degree parking camera and the ability to activate certain remote functions like climate control through your smart device. A source closed to Cars.co.za suggests our local derivatives could lose some features in order to prevent the new Urban Cruiser overlapping too much with the locally built Corolla Cross. In addition, the hybrid derivatives won’t be available initially, surely in an effort to keep the price competitive. If the company manages to keep the price down while offering similar or better levels of standard kit (and appreciably more space) than the outgoing model, it will surely have another impressive volume driver on its hands.
