RAVE plundering is a huge concern and it is evidently rising in Lydenburg as loved ones are more regularly informed that the graves they thought as safe, are destroyed. Mrs Elize (well-known Lydenburg resident) and Miss Michelle Boshoff (Editor of the Highlands Panorama News), were shocked when informed that the iron railings and gate around the Koeleman graves had been stolen.

The iron railings around the grave and the two gates were removed by criminals. An 'informant' phoned to tell the Boshoff’s about the theft. He knew that they were descendants from the Koeleman family. With a great bit of luck and detective work the ‘informant’ discovered the iron gates at a scrap yard in Lydenburg last week. According to him the police know who the criminals are and he suspects that they are still teenagers. The iron railings and gates are close to 100 years old, as they were manufactured in the Koeleman

blacksmith shop, that was located next to the Reformed Church. The iron work was done by Mr Hendrik Albertus Koeleman, who in turn learned the trade from his father, Pieter Adrianus Koeleman. Pieter Adrianus immigrated to South Africa from Utrecht in the late 1800’s and was a skilled blacksmith and carriage maker. The Old Lydenburg Cemetery is in a dismal state and hundreds of gravestones are damaged. The iron gates are now safely back on the premises where it was made a 100 years ago.

Apply for bursaries in Bekende besigheidsman oorlede financial management

n the Auditor-General's recent report, it was found that out of South Africa's 343 municipalities, only 13 of those received a clean audit. The AuditorGeneral's findings clearly illustrate provincial and local government's need to up-skill their financial departments. The KwaZulu-Natal Treasury has taken bold steps with the signing of a three-year agreement with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants' (SAICA) Thuthuka Bursary Fund. The Thuthuka Bursary Fund (TBF) is an effort from SAICA to bridge the gap of inequality that exists within the Chartered Accountancy profession. It ushers disadvantaged youth with a propensity for maths from first-year university level to fully qualified Chartered Accountants – all expenses paid. This threeyear agreement with the KZN Treasury will see the province absorb three qualified graduates and place them into a training programme within government. Auditor-General, Terrence Nombembe, praised the deal and said this was an excellent opportunity to lend Government's support to an initiative that will undoubtedly help to make his job easier, and ensure the country meets its service delivery obligations. He said South African government needs to be adequately skilled in the area of financial management and accounting. “As an audit office we pledge to lend full support to the KZN Treasury when they become a training office for Chartered Accountants,” said Nombembe. “We will offer all our support to the KZN Treasury in the training and placement of students where necessary – a commitment we plan to keep.” Meanwhile Mpumalanga was one of the more improved provinces with four clean audits. The Auditor-General said, “with the right leadership focus, determination and commitment, it is possible for the province to attain even more clean audits, but most importantly, to eradicate disclaimers." The Mpumalanga government only needs to look towards KZN to find a possible longterm plan to attain clean audits across all municipalities as the TBF presents the perfect opportunity to not only actively promote

transformation to the youth, but it also provides the financial management skills that are much needed in the province. KZN Premier, Dr Zweli Mkhize, is adamant that this partnership is going to boost financial management within Government. He said, “This is a practical indication that we (KZN) are prepared to support the clean audit campaign which actually will ensure that clean audits are attained. For this to happen, we need to ensure that we have skilled personnel in the right positions. This partnership with SAICA will help us achieve that goal.” This skills development sponsorship agreement is a stepping stone to getting the KZN Provincial Treasury accredited as a SAICA training office for Chartered Accountants within the public sector. SAICA is on a mission to provide all provinces with the same opportunity in the hope of mobilising the Chartered Accountancy profession as a force for change within government. The offer is there, and the ball is firmly in the Mpumulanga's Government's court. The bursary fund has already received full support from national government with the Department of Higher Education and Training committing itself to match all private sector donations Rand-for-Rand. Minister of Higher Education and Training, Blade Nzimande, believes that “the Thuthuka project is an important initiative that serves as a strategic lever for the transformation agenda of SAICA in particular and the accounting and auditing professions in general.” SAICA's Project Director for the Thuthuka Bursary Fund, Nthato Selebi, said, “Thuthuka is the true grassroots black economic empowerment which we envisage will contribute significantly to socio-economic upliftment and growth of communities. However, this transformation process needs to be accelerated and this can only be done if more finance resources are made available. “The KZN Treasury is the first department to put their money where their mouth is and we are grateful for our partnership with them. We invite all other provincial and municipal structures to follow their lead” ~ Michelle Boshoff

Wyle mnr. Herman Botha.

02-04-1971 to 12-11-2012

Ons geliefde pa, oupa, vriend en bestuurder is op 12 November van ons weggeneem. Nooit sal ’n deur oopgaan sonder dat ons sal verwag om hom daar te sien inkom nie. Niemand sal ooit sy plek kan volstaan nie. We will miss him dearly. We salute him and honor him. Never will we forget his brilliant personality, his passion and commitment to his family, friends and business. His generosity knew no bounds. May he rest in peace, knowing that all he came in contact with, loved him. For funeral details contact Charlotte 013 231 7578. • Mnr. Botha was werksaam by Buco Burgersfort en sy familie en vriende bedank almal vir hul bystand.

Die Watervalsrivierpad wat tans onder konstruksie is. DAAR is al maande reeds gelede begin om aan die Watervalsrivierpas te werk en kort stukkies van hierdie pas was afgebaken om met die groot werk te begin. Die kort stukkies het nog nie eens teer op gekry nie, toe word daar aan nog stukke geskraap en die afbakenings word langer gemaak en niks kom klaar nie! Die mense wat die verkeer moet reguleer is ook nie behoorlik opgelei nie, want hulle wys jy kan ry, maar o weë, om die volgende blinde draai kom nog aankomende verkeer aan met ’n spoed en uitswaai kan jy nie, want op die pad wat versper is, is daar groot klippe en stokke gesit en jou voertuig gaan skade kry! Hoe nou gemaak, want eis gaan jy eis by jou versekering en nog jare vorentoe afbetaal aan hierdie eis en die spul wat hier werk aan die paaie kom skotvry. Kortom hulle weet net daar was ’n “misverstand” maar lig skouers op!! By van die afbakenings waar die verkeer gereguleer moet word, is die stilhou net so erg, want jy hoop en bid die ou wat van agter af kom, gaan betyds sy remme in werking stel anders is hy ook in jou vas, want die padwerker wat die vlaggie moet swaai is net gou in die bosse in! Vraag is nou; Hoeveel ongelukke het al gebeur sedert hierdie padwerke en hoeveel voertuie is met die “uitswaaiery” al beskadig? Miskien moet hulle by die reguleer kante eers die motoriste laat ry en die trokke en swaarvoertuie laaste laat wegsping want hulle neem nogal ’n rukkie om aan te skakel voor hulle wegtrek? Dit gaan tyd vat om hierdie pad te herstel, maar hoe lank nog, want die Ohrigstad-pad is net so erg. Jy vat ’n groot kans op beide van hierdie paaie, so as jy in daardie rigting moet gaan, ry groot asseblief stadig en neem d i e a n d e r motoriste ook in ag (ja, jy wat my kar met klippe gegooi het toe jy die versperde pad met jou bakkie aangedurf het omdat jy haastig was en vier gate in my windskerm gelaat het!!).

s daar nog mense wat die weke aftel tot en met die vakansietyd? Ons beplan nie ’n vakansie nie, sal maar by die huis wees... maar sjoe ek is moeg. Moeg gewerk en moeg gesukkel met 2012. Dit is amper onmenslik hoe temperamente hoogvlam in koerantland. Dis nie meer lekker nie. Ek is seker daarvan dis nie net koerantland wat deurloop nie. Almal smag na die lang verwagte Kersvakansie wat in 'n oogwink weer verby gaan wees. Dan lê nog 'n jaar voor en volgende jaar hierdie tyd sit die eend weer sonder water. Die dam onder die eend uitruk is 'n goeie idioom. Want in die eerste gedeelte klink dit of ek die ‘dam onder die eend uitruk’. Wel, dis waar. 'n Ander lid van die diereryk wat ook 'n menselike vorm aanneem is brombye en brombere. Ek self knor ook lekker saam, dink dis omdat ek te min heuning gekry het hierdie jaar, verskoon die woorspeling. Dit was maar skaars op Hoorhiersô. Haai, ek's darem melodramaties. Dis my beroep se skuld. Daar word van my verwag om sensasioneel alle intriges van 'n verhaal weer te gee en somtyds 'n tikkie oordrewe aandoenlikheid en sentiment daaraan te verleen. Tog moet die werklikheid nog steeds in gedagte gehou word. Geniet nou maar die laaste paar weke hoor. Aan alle brommers, brombere, brombye en ander sterflinge. Ons kan nie sink nie... so ons swem maar.

Sentreer dalk eerder alle vuurwerke Me. Heila Dreyer van Lydenburg skryf: Ek het gewonder of ons nie almal die vuurwerke en klappers by Rooikatpark kan gaan skiet nie? Dan is dit vinnig verby, of gaan die mense dit nie toelaat nie. Van die nuwe inwoners weet nie dat daar tradisioneel by Rooikatpark geskiet word Oujaarsaand nie. Ek vra maar net dat die lawaai gou verbygaan vir mens en dier. • Lewer gerus kommentaar aan die redakteur, michelleboshoff@yahoo.com. Ons sal self graag ’n paar idees wil plaas van lesers.

DIE OUTOPPIE SE KOMMENTAAR

Reg in eie hande ? IETS waaroor ons nie mag praat nie, is die ondermyning van staatsgesag. Vandeesweek se outoppie moet dus in korrekte konteks gelees word. Ons bepleit geensins die ondermyning van staatsgesag of die regstelsel nie, maar ons mag ongemaklike vrae oor die sisteem vra en opmerkings / aanbevelings daaroor maak. Van die vrae sluit in, wat gebeur met ’n bewese verkragter of vrouemolesteerder, by skuldigbevinding? Die eerste ding is natuurlik dat dit maande, selfs jare kan neem voor hy voorkom. Die tweede is dat hy borg kry, of ’n kort vonnis, of verwys word

Eers was dit die eerste naweek, toe die eerste week, eerste maand, en nou jou eerste verjaardag weg van ons. Jou plekkie is leeg, jou stem stil, maar ons liefde sal ons vir altyd koester in ons harte. Baie dankie dat jy gedien het sonder ’n gedagte aan ’n beloning, gegee het sonder om ’n prys te bereken, omgegee het sonder om seerkry te vrees, en dat liefde die afdruk is wat jy nalaat op elke lewe wat jou pad gekruis het. Met verlange Ma en Pa

vir psigiatriese behandeling. Hy kry ’n tikkie op die vingers. Is dit wat ons as beskaafde gemeenskap verlang? Is dit gepaste regsproses? Is dit nie waarom gemeenskappe die reg in eie hande neem en sulke mense stenig of “necklace” nie? Persoonlik dink ek blitsige kastrasie (met ’n ou mes) en ’n paar gebreekte knieë is vinnig, effektief en relatief kosteloos vir die belastingbetaler. Wat van gewapende roof of ’n plaasaanval? Dieselfde gewag, tegniese punte waarop hy loskom, geen kans op rehabilitasie en ’n geweldige kostelas op die bevolking en groot media hoe-ha. Wat van misdaadsindikate soos wat tans Lydenburg, Sabie en Nelspruit / Witrivier terroriseer met die steel van Toyota 4x4’s en motorfietse? Wat is jou kanse om een op heterdaad te vang en vir gepaste straf te laat

Meegevoel aan Herman Bothma se kollegas, vriende en en familie Ek het die voorreg gehad om paaie te kruis met Herman Bothma, bestuurder van die ou Builders Market, Burgersfort en wat opvallend was met ons eerste ontmoeting: ’n man wat weet wat hy wil hê, uitstekende bestuursvernuf, regverdigheid en ’n fyn sin vir humor. Herman het Builders Market in die era van die nou bekende BUCO ingelei met passie en dryfkrag. Hy het niks halfmas aangepak nie. Vir Herman was dit alles of niks gewees nie en so het hy sy merk gelaat op almal wat met hom te doen gehad het. Van my, Reinet Bell en die Highlands Panorama Koerant dra ons ons innige simpatie en meegevoel op aan al Herman Bothma se kollegas, vriende en familie. Hy sal gemis word!

In reaksie op die Outoppie Griet Reynecke skryf: Ek stem 100% saam met wat die Outoppie sê oor ons mense so Goddeloos geword het en ons geen gewete meer het nie! Die wêreld word meer en meer boos en mense het geen respek meer vir hulself nie - daarom het hulle nie respek vir ander en diere nie. Was dit ook dalk hoe boos die wêreld was in Noag se tyd voor die sonvloed?

prosesseer? Watter effek het dit op die res van die sindikaat? Niks, Nada. Die klaaglike mislukking van die owerheid (van die polisie tot justisie en korrektiewe dienste) in hierdie verband, is die tersaaklike ding. Om hom te skiet (as jy hom vang) is nie die antwoord nie. Dis te gou en jou moeilikheid begin dan eers. Nee, ek is nie vir die soort moord nie, al bewys jy die res van die samelewing ’n guns. Nee, iets veel goedkoper, baie meer effektief, veel meer blywend en beslis ietwat grusaam sal baie meer doeltreffend wees. Iets soos ’n ongelukkie op ’n donker aand. ’n Strykyster in ’n kussingsloop, twee verkeerdom gebreekte knieë en hopelik ’n tyd in ’n vuil staatshospitaal sal die gewenste uitwerking hê. Kitsrehabilitasie. Sigbare, effektiewe straf. ’n Afskrikmiddel. Jy sien, hoe meer beskaaf ons word, hoe meer regte het kriminele. Dit werk duidelik nie. Ek vrees dat vir ons samelewing om werklik beskaaf te word en ’n behoorlike lewenspeil te handhaaf, wat dié saak betref, ons ons weer moet wend na barbaarse optrede. Miskien kan ons in die verband iets by ander kulture soos die Arabiere leer. Breek hulle bene sleg! Ek sal. Sonder betaling.

Lipleklekker potjiekos

Marie Grobler, Jean Struwig (bestuurslid van Lelievlei), Olive Steyn (weldoener), Sonja Lubbe, Patricia Nel. Olive Steyn het meubels, hangkaste, kaste, boeke, matte, lekkergoed geskenk. Frik Rousseau (Direkteur van Lelievlei) het haar hartlik bedank vir die ruim skenking.

Laerskool Lydenburg doen jaarliks ’n gemeenskapprojek, waar fondse gegenereer word en teruggesit word in die gemeenskap, waar ook al ’n behoefte geidentifiseer is. 2012 se projek was ’n potjiekoskompetisie waaraan verskillende maatskappye deelgeneem het. Dit was ’n lekker spanboudag en daar is heerlik gekuier. Mega Paint was die wenner van die heerlike potjiekos en El Roy Motors het die oorspronklikste stalletjie gehad. Die fondse gaan vanjaar vir die versorging van behoeftige kinders in die skool. Kos en ander benodighede gaan aangekoop word en aan die gesinne voorsien word. Baie dankie aan elke maatskappy en persoon wat betrokke was by die projek, asook aan ons beoordeelaars. Jul ondersteuning is van onskatbare waarde.

Car jamming theft on the rise THE use of car-jamming devices to steal from vehicles remained a headache, Gauteng police commissioner Lt-Gen Mzwandile Petros said on Tuesday. “This crime has been on the increase across shopping centres in the province. It is creating problems in Gauteng.” Petros presented an overview of the 2011/2012 crime statistics to the Gauteng community safety committee in Johannesburg. Thieves use household remotes to block car remotes from locking vehicles, with the owner unaware that the car is unlocked.

They are then able to help themselves to valuables in the vehicle as soon as the owner walks away. GYMS TARGETED “These criminals know that when you park at a gym, you leave valuables behind in the car, and that is when they wait nearby, ready to strike.” Though police were working closely with security guards to fight the crime, motorists also had to be alert and make sure that their vehicles were locked before stepping away. Sapa / iolMotoring.co.za A person with a gate remote control, was recently found by the Lydenburg SAPS, loitering in the “swembadsentrum” area near Spur, so please be on the lookout and check your car doors.

How to treat your mechanical mistress THE best thing about a brand new motorcycle is the silky-smooth movement of all the controls. With no resistance in any of the cables, levers or pedals, you can feel exactly what each is doing and apply it with absolute precision, riding more neatly - and sometimes more safely - than you can on an older bike, even one that you know really well. While I've always known this - I've been privileged to ride a lot of new bikes over the years - I've never paid any thought as to why it should be so until I was forced to, which is also typical of most bikers. After all, if it's not broken, don't fix it, right? Wrong. My little red sports bike is only seven years old but, because I live in a city where climate change means every winter is colder, wetter and longer than the previous one, it's done rather more mileage on wet roads than most, albeit without any serious ill effects other than an embarrassing outbreak of rust on various nuts and bolts. Until a couple of weeks ago, when I picked up a starting problem. I'd turn the key and all the bike's systems would light up, I'd pull the clutch (there's a starter cut-out switch in the clutch-lever housing) and, sometimes, absolutely nothing would happen - not even a click. Other times it would start normally, but the problem gradually became more recurrent until, one night, I had to slam the clutch lever in and out half a dozen times before the starter got the message - and I finally woke up to the fact that the problem lay in the clutch cut-out switch. WAKE-UP CALL The next day I stripped the clutch-lever housing for the first time in the bike's life (it's not mentioned in either the owner's handbook or the service requirements, so no blame attaches to the agents) and took nearly a teaspoonful of almost-dry mud out from behind the lever. A quick squirt of contact cleaner soon had the cut-out switch working reliably, but the rest of the components looked even worse. So I scrubbed all the parts with a toothbrush and commercial motocross solvent, polished some rust off the pivot pin, squirted lubricant through the cable, applied a dab of heavy-duty grease to the pivot bushing, put it all back together and carefully readjusted the lever play just as at the pre-delivery inspection seven years ago. All of which took about an hour - it's not exactly rocket science - but the result was an eye-opener. Suddenly my distinctly second-hand little road rocket had a clutch action that would put some new bikes I've ridden this year to shame, which only made me more conscious of just how gritty and imprecise the action of the other controls had become. I

spent the rest of a very long Sunday stripping every pedal, cable and lever on the bike, finding mud, rust and dried-out lubricant residue inside all of them. A squirt of lube down the cable and a dab of Vaseline on the right-hand handlebar soon had the twistgrip responding to my

right hand as if the bike had suddenly come alive again. Cleaning and greasing the linkages made the previously notchy and sometimes recalcitrant gearshift as crisp as breaking glass, and an (embarrassingly necessary) cleanup inside the pedal's pivot point got the rear brake working again after several months of very poor response without my even having to touch the hydraulics. LIKE RIDING A BRAND NEW MACHINE I remembered that there's another cut-out on the side-stand, so that came off as well to be flushed with contact cleaner (it was working, but very slowly and reluctantly) and quite a lot of derusting, cleaning and re-lubing went into the housing. The pivot bolt was so worn it had to be replaced - luckily it's a standard size and I had one in stainless steel. Now the side-stand pops neatly out of the way with a precise little click, the brakes have enough extra bite that I've had to be careful of them in the rain (even though I haven't yet serviced the hydraulics), and the bike accelerates noticeably harder when I give it a handful - or am I giving it bigger handfuls because the throttle action is so smooth and precise? It's like riding a brand-new machine, and I've found myself enjoying my daily commute even more than on the latest test bike, discovering all over again just why I bought this bike seven years ago. In many ways a motorcycle is not so much a machine as a mechanical mistress, responding sweetly to a little TLC. And, just as with people, it's the little things that make the biggest difference.

Very popular new Subaru Forester should be here by April 2013 SUBARU has released the first official images and information regarding its new Subaru Forester ahead of the car’s debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show this month. The new car features a more aggressive visual treatment than that of the current car, with a deeper front apron sporting vertical vents at its outer edges and a more angular headlamp design. Two models will be announced at the launch: a 2,5-litre and a two-litre turbo, sitting on 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels, respectively. Despite featuring a footprint identical to that of the current model, the new Forester will, according to Suburu, serve up even more passenger and cargo space. Among the infotainment features will be a rear-view camera, navigation, smartphone integration and a Harman/Kardon audio system. The 2,5-litre model will be offered with a choice of six-speed manual Subaru’s local arm has confirmed that the new Forester will arrive or Lineartronic CVT, while the 2,0 turbo will be coupled with a highin South Africa during the second quarter (possibly around April) of torque CVT with six- and eight-speed manual modes and Hill 2013. The local engine line-up has yet to be confirmed, but the Descent Control. Ground clearance stands at 221 mm. car’s American launch will incorporate a pair of petrol boxer units. More information is bound to leak before the LA Motor Show and The entry point will be a 2,5-litre normally aspirated unit developing we’ll keep you posted as to any further developments. 126 kW/235 N.m followed by the fourth generation of the firm’s turbocharged, direct-injection 2,0-litre with 186 kW/350 N.m on Carmag.co.za tap.

The wait is almost over THE new Opel Astra looks like a normally proportioned compact hatchback, but it's actually a hefty lump of car. It's especially noticeable on the new OPC version (due in South Africa in the first quarter of 2013), whose enormous 20-inch wheels don't look nearly as oversized as they should. Somehow the Astra seems almost rudely supersized. However, this hottest, raciest version also has a supersized engine output which, at 206kW, is higher than that of any other FWD sporting hatchback for sale right now. Torque is rated at 400Nm. The 2-litre, turbocharged engine can fling the Astra to 100km/h in 5.9 seconds. But there can be a problem with such energy being transferred solely through the front wheels, one which previous highpower Astras illustrated well: the combination of more power than grip, imperfect steering geometry, firm suspension and driver indiscretion makes for a car keen to sniff out every verge and undulation. It's fun for a few minutes, then it just becomes a nuisance because you're fighting with the car. It's this thuggish nature that prevented previous rapid Astras from entering the petrolhead-pleasing elite, a niche occupied by the Golf GTI, the Renaultsport Mégane and, most recently, the new Ford Focus ST. But this OPC has a front suspension similar to the system used in that Renault, by which the front wheels steer not by the turning of the suspension struts but by the swivelling of a separate hub carrier set a little further outward. This means that, despite the wide wheels, the power and steering forces can act in the middle of the front tyres' contact patches instead of towards the tyres' edges. Result? A bettermannered hot Astra, able to get its power down and stay straight while doing it. Traction out of corners is much better, too, so the Astra can turn fluently into bends before powering out. Which also makes it good fun. The suspension is lower and stiffer than the regular turbocharged Astra GTC's, and the OPC certainly looks promising with its giant under-bumper air scoop and, if you order the optional Aero kit, a biplane rear spoiler, curvy sill covers and the 20in wheels. The exhaust note is deep and crisp, and after a short wait for the turbocharger to get going, the car launches itself with a heady whoosh. In standard mode, the adaptive dampers let the suspension “breathe” while controlling the body's movements, making the OPC feel nicely poised as you cruise along on undulating back roads. Sport mode, however, chops the ride up unnecessarily, while the “extreme” OPC mode is all but unusable on normal roads, though it does work on a racetrack. Downsides? The brakes are over-assisted and snatchy and there's no proper handbrake, just an annoying electric switch. Otherwise the OPC is a very enjoyable, if unnecessarily corpulent, machine with a civility lacking in its predecessors.

New Ford Kuga confirmed for 2013 FORD South Africa has confirmed that the all-new Ford Kuga will be available in South Africa from 2013. Although the Kuga nomenclature is a recent addition to the South African market, the newest version was shown at the 2012 Geneva auto show. When the latest Kuga arrives in SA in 2013, it will come fitted with a new generation 1.6-litre EcoBoost petrol engine with a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission and a 2.0-litre TDCi turbodiesel engine with PowerShift six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The engines use Ford’s latest powertrain technology, including turbocharging and direct injection (for the EcoBoosts) and twin independent variable camshaft timing, and are more powerful as well as being more fuel efficient. Along with its more efficient engines, the latest Ford SUV’s sleeker body is almost 10% more aerodynamic than the Kuga it replaces, aided by an Active Grille Shutter that reduce wind resistance. The slats remain open when extra engine cooling is required and automatically shut when cruising at steady speeds to improve the Kuga’s aerodynamics. The Kuga will also introduce a “smart” all-wheel drive system that is said to act preemptively by reassessing road conditions and constantly adjust the power split to deliver the best blend of handling and traction. The new Kuga, along with its bold new design and more efficient engines, will also incorporate technologies such as the voice-activated SYNC connectivity system and Active Park Assist.

Ford product in SA, is the “open sesame” automatic tailgate feature that requires a mere kicking motion beneath the rear bumper to unlock and raise the tailgate when the key fob is within range but the driver’s hands are occupied. The same process is used to close the hatch.

road test on this car. Also to be tested, the new Mazda BT 50 and the Chevrolet Trailblazer, which I am told is going to turn the market upside down. Watch this space! Andre Coetzee

A tour through the warm heart of Soweto Talentvolle jong gholfers THE past weekend saw the running of the Soweto Marathon through the historic streets of this famed town, passing through Diepkloof, also known as Beverly Hills due to all the luxury houses and cars in the area, then again there are as many “matchbox” type houses. Other historic places passed included Orlando West with its panoramic views over the city, Vilikazi street, the only street in the world that was once home to two Nobel Peace Laureates – Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. At the top of the street the place where the student uprising took place and the place where Hector Pieterson was shot in 1976, marked by a simple brick wall. The house of Winnie Mandela was passed, along with Mtipa Street and the Ubuntu Kraal where the runners followed the same route as the students in the 1976 uprising. This was more than just a tour through the warm heart of Soweto, it is a journey through our tumultuous history, as felt by all the runners. The race started and ended at the Nasrec arena and was a

circular route. Herman Mogale used this great and historic race to run his first 42km race and completed it, with a great time of 04:41:00. This is outstanding, seeing he is a novice long distance runner. Welcome to the long-winded runners Herman, Modikwa hopes you will grow from strength to strength. Herman has the backing of Leboka Noto and Peter Molapo, Comrades Gold Medalist to assist in his training! Another novice runner, Recognition, ran her very first 10km race, even thought she found the race very tough. She was very proud of the beautiful medal she received and smiled from ear to ear. Well done Recognition, Modikwa is sure they will see more of this great lady runner. Well done to all the Modikwa athletes and again Leboka Noto, the big hammer, coming in first again of the club runners! We would like to wish all the athletes well with their training, as all the big races for the year are now over, so keep focused and keep yourself in good shape!
