Northern Cape schools disrupted by rising Covid 19 infections PROVINCIAL: Department is trying to get the situation under control. Just recently they recorded a total number of 276 learners that tested positive. In total for the month of May they had 911 positive cases of which just over 400 are still active. During the month of May, the department had to close and reopen 98 schools in the province in order to contain the outbreak of infections. The department will be guided by the department of health going forward as it gets the situation under control. The closing and reopening of schools has caused disruptions to the schooling system in the province. Now, the district offices have developed recovery plans for all schools affected by disruptions. In
some cases, learners will be expected to remain at school for extended hours in order to catch up. The department asked all learners to limit their social interactions in their communities in order to limit the spread of the virus in the province. They will further assess the situation on the ground and engage the school governing bodies, the school management teams, and they will make an assessment at that given time of what the situation is in the communities and at the schools. The Northern Cape is not the only province still tackling outbreaks of Covid-19. The country's most recent data from 6 June shows a total of 45 deaths that have been recorded with 15 coming from the Northern Cape.

Do you know who your local ward councillor is? It’s important for all South Africans to know their ward councillor because they are the link between the municipality and the community they serve. People can also take their problems to the ward councillor and he/she should deal with these in an appropriate way What is a local councillor? A local councillor is a person who provides political leadership in a ward of a municipality. It can be a metropolitan municipality, district municipality or local municipality. A local councillor can be elected as an independent candidate or represent a political party. They occupy an office for a period of five years in line with the local government elections. The ward councillor is elected by citizens living in the ward where he/she is standing for elections. What is the role of a councillor? A ward councillor is expected to make sure that the concerns raised by people in his/her ward are represented in council. He/she must also ensure that the ward committee exists and that people in the ward participate in local government. The councillor must report back regularly through ward meetings and help the community in identifying needs and priority areas of development, which will help the municipality’s planning processes. Types of councillors A ward councillor ensures that the
interests of people in a specific ward are represented in council. He/she reports on council activities on a regular basis to the ward to strengthen the relationship with community. A proportional representative councillor is a member of a political party and is elected through the party lists. He/she is accountable to the party. An independent councillor does not belong to a political party and is accountable to the people who have elected him/her to represent their interests.

Heuningdruppels Is jy ook lief vir 'n stukkie brood? Ek bak elke naweek van hierdie ciabatta brode en behalwe dat dit vreeslik maklik is, smaak dit heerlik. Jy sal ook saam met my 'n lang lys van vorme, smake en disse van brood kan opnoem. En as jy nou die seuns van die mans wil skei, laat jy hulle 'n braaibroodjie maak! "Ons voorouers het manna in die woestyn geëet, soos daar geskrywe staan: Hy het aan hulle brood uit die hemel gegee om te eet.” Jesus het hulle geantwoord: “Dít verseker Ek julle: Dit is nie Moses wat vir julle die brood uit die hemel gegee het nie, maar dit is my Vader wat vir julle die ware brood uit die hemel gee. Die brood wat God gee, is Hy wat uit die hemel kom en aan die wêreld die lewe gee. Hulle sê toe vir Hom: “Meneer, gee ons tog altyd hierdie brood.” Maar Jesus sê vir hulle: “Ek is die brood wat lewe gee. Wie na My toe kom, sal nooit weer honger kry nie, en wie in My glo, sal nooit weer dors kry nie." (Joh. 6:31-35) Inderdaad né, Jesus is ons stapelvoedsel, die brood wat lewe gee, die brood wat jy elke dag kan eet, die brood wat nooit klaar raak nie. Jy onthou hoe die brood vermeerder is en hoe duisende dit nie kon opeet nie. So kan ek en jy ook nie die Brood wat lewe gee, klaar eet nie. Die "dis" wat jy elke dag maak sal elke dag anders proe, en jou resepte en idees sal nooit opraak nie, en jy sal elke dag gevoed word. Jy hoef nooit in jou lewe weer geestelik honger te wees nie, die spens is oorvol met nuwe kraakvars brood, elke liewe dag, en dis daar vir jou, verniet. Geniet dit, nuttig dit, en dink elke keer wat jy 'n stukkie brood eet aan Jesus se liggaam wat vir jou gebreek is. En vier sommer soms so by jouself nagmaal as jy brood eet. Sommer so by jouself, of saam met jou gesin. Dalk sommer ook as jy en 'n vriend tydens etenstyd 'n broodjie nuttig. Wat 'n eenvoudige maaltyd is 'n toebroodjie nie, en hoe eenvoudig is die evangelie ook nie, selfs 'n kind kan dit verstaan. Neem daardie Brood wat lewe gee en maak Hom jou eie. Dis elke dag vars. Geniet dit. ~ Willem Botha

Overlooked & Under-appreciated! Oh boy, the large bakkie-based segment in South Africa is a tough market to play in. The Toyota Fortuner rules the roost while the likes of the Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X, and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport all desperately cling onto the coattails of the Fortuner’s success. Take nothing away from the Toyota, it is a very accomplished product which dazzles consumers with its storied badge and an expansive footprint across the country. But I suspect that the light gleams too brightly as many are blinded to the breadths of talent in the rest of the segment. Take the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport for example. It undercuts both the Toyota and Ford by more than R100 000 in their most expensive specification; is not found wanting in any particular area and comes from a manufacturer that arguably has an equally impressive reputation for reliability and trustworthiness. I unfortunately can’t account for consumers’ shopping behaviors so don’t expect any solid answers as to why we are a stubborn, single-minded bunch. But what I can tell you is why I think the updated Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is a cut above of the rest and at the very least, worth a visit to the showroom. Mitsubishi South Africa introduced the refreshed Pajero Sport late last year with the introduction of the range-topping Exceed model as well. You’ll notice the new face which Mitsubishi calls their ‘Dynamic Shield’ design, which brings into line with the stablemates like the Triton, Eclipse Cross and ASX. At the rear, the tweaked tail lights have been shortened and feature a new LED signature. Handsome looks aside, the updated Pajero Sport also offers a raft of interior updates. Although the design and layout remain the same, you now get an updated eight-inch touchscreen which supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone air-conditioning including rear passenger controls, plus a leather-clad multifunction steering wheel, Bluetooth and voice control. On the safety front, each of the Pajero Sport’s 7 passengers are catered for in terms of an airbag. Our range-topping Exceed 4×4 test unit also features a
sliding sunroof, Mitsubishi Remote Control connectivity, and an electronic tailgate with kick sensors. So, you’re certainly not lacking in terms of tech, style and amenities but one area where the Pajero Sport does fall slightly short is in the drivetrain department. You only have one option for both the engine and gearbox to choose from which is a 2.4l MIVEC turbo diesel engine, producing 133kW and 430Nm and linked to an eightspeed automatic transmission. And while it does a sufficient job of lugging about its large frame, there were instances where power waned and it struggled to keep up with the flow of traffic. But the majority of the time, accelerating and cruising at the national speed limit was a breeze and overall noise, vibration and harshness was low. Mitsubishi claims an average fuel consumption of 8.1l/100 although I managed around the 8.7l/100 which is quite respectable. While I never had the opportunity to take our test unit off the beaten track, I do have experience with Mitsubishi’s Super Select 4WD-II system and I can assure you that you will find very few obstacles in your path. For the average family, the Pajero Sport possesses more than enough capabilities to meet your families adventures and sum. With pricing ranging from R624 995 for the base 4×2 model and extending all the way to R704 995 for the top of the range Exceed model, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport makes a compelling case for itself. For similar outlay, you can get into a Toyota Fortuner equipped with the updated 2.8-litre engine, however, you only get that model in 4×2 guise and an additional R70 000 is needed to hop into the base 4×4 variant with that engine. So the updated Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is truly the smart money in this segment, and it’s worth noting that it recently claimed the title of best large SUV/Crossover in CAR Magazine’s annual Top 12 Best Buys. Need I say more? Just go and visit one of their dealerships so you can see for yourself. Contact Morgan Mitsubushi Bethlehem on 058 303 4155 for more exciting offers like the offer on the next page!
