ALLOW us this opportunity to wish ourselves a happy 16th birthday. Through thick and thin we have continued with the help of the community and businesses in our area. We have proven that there still is a place for good old fashioned business values in community news, in the age of social media. The Highlands Panorama News is part of the Lydenburg Mashishing Business Chamber and Business Networking International (BNI). At past LMBC Gala evenings the Panorama has won honours as one of the best businesses in town for several years in a row. In addition the owner, Mr Andre Coetzee, is widely involved in several committees. The newspaper has never stopped growing and has its feet planted in the day to day bustle of the schools, town council, churches and non profit organisations. ~ Michelle Boshoff, EDITOR. Ex Libris: As ’n kind van Lydenburg, wie se ouma-grootjie hier gebore is sou ek nooit kon droom dat ek eendag my hier sal vestig na my studies aan Noordwes Universiteit nie. Dis mos alle jongelinge se ideaal om hul vlerke te sprei. Maar Quintus Loots het my sowat 10 jaar gelede gebel en gevra of ek wil terugkom huis toe? Hy het hierdie geleentheid vir my moontlik gemaak. Die eienaar Andre Coetzee se Outoppie-rubriek is legendaries. En min weet nog dat hy eintlik die Outoppie is. Dan is daar die Hoorhierso-rubriek wat ek al van 2005 basies weekliks skryf. Vir my ma Elize Boshoff en tante Alwine Koeleman wat mekaar Hoorhierso genoem het en nooit op hul regte name nie. Maar dis maar klein deeltjies van die koerant se psige. Ons is ‘n baie klein spannetjie maar die produk wat gelewer word elke week herinner aan personeel van 20sterk by groter koerante. Daarom kan ons 16 jaar nie ongesiens laat verbygaan nie. Dankie aan elke adverteerder, skool, instansie en leser wat hul weg oopbaan om die Highlands Panorama Nuus as hul ‘stasie’ te gebruik. Ons praat nog steeds jou taal ~ Michelle Boshoff, REDAKTEUR

Vanaf 2019 staan Andrea Coetzee in vir Rusoord en het sy tydens die gala aand namens Rusoord haar vyf-jaar lidmaatskap borsspeld ontvang. Minstens ses ander lede het ook toekennings ontvang. Volgens Me. Gerda Whitehorn, nuutverkose President van BNI Longtom op Lydenburg vir 2019 / 2020, was die aand ’n reuse sukses.
Andrea Coetzee ontvang namens die Higlands Panorama ’n sertifikaat vir die hoeveelheid besigheid gedoen. Sy het ook ’n borsspeld namens Rusoord Tehuis vir Bejaardes vir vyf jaar se lidmaatskap van BNI ontvang. Sy ontvang dit van Dr. Nadine Dunn.

The land advertised here belongs to the Thaba Chweu Municipality and is earmarked for further development of Mashishing. But a homemade sign has been erected advertising that the land is on the market. Please phone Thaba Chweu at 013 235 7000 before buying into this. The Highlands Panorama News has tried to phone the number on the sign several times, but it always goes to voicemail. Also note that the sign with the number on changes regularly. ~ Michelle Boshoff
Los die sakke
Bewyse van hoe die rommel bestrooi word wanner die swart sakke nie afgehaal word nie, of huiseienaars dit nie buite bereik van vandale plaas nie. En so lyk dit byna daagliks op verskeie straathoeke. Veral as die vullis oornag daar staan. Hierdie foto is van Maraistraat, Lydenburg. Vandale soek kos of iets wat hul moontlik kan gebruik. Maar niemand gooi tog vars kos weg nie. Ons hoop TCM se vragmotors werk weer want Maandag het weereens nie goed begin met die vullis kollekte nie.

V
anmelee se dae, kattekwaad, kwaai onderwysers en goeie waardes... dis maar ’n paar van die dinge wat altyd opkom by ’n reunie. Die matrieks van 1974 het al hul Hoërskool Lydenburg herinneringe onlangs weer gedeel.
Hulle kan nie minder as 45 jaar agter hul laaste skooljaar skryf. Dit is ’n allemintige klomp jare waarvoor almal gespaar gebly het. Hulle het reunie gehou by die Weesgerus Vakansieoord te Nylstroom. Ou vriendskappe roes nooit, is die gesegde.
E
k gaan draak steek in my Hoorhierso-rubriek hierdie week. Dit is uit die mond van die suigeling, soos die spreekwoord sê. Maar die grappie is te goed om nie te deel nie. “Die onderwyseres gee haar graad vyf’s ’n werkopdrag: Hulle moet hulle ouers vra om hulle ’n storie met ‘n les aan die einde daarvan te vertel. Die volgende dag kom die kinders toe terug en begin een vir een hulle stories te vertel. Jan sê “ My pa is ’n hoenderboer en ons het baie broeihenne. Eenkeer het ons die eiers in ’n mandjie op die kar se voorste sitpleg gesit om dit mark toe te vat. My pa slaan toe remme aan, die mandjie val om en al die eiers breek in die kar!” “Mooi, Jan’, sê die juffrou: “wat is die les van die storie?” Jan sê “Moenie al jou eiers in een mandjies sit nie,” sê die trotse seuntjie. “Baie goed,’ sê die juffrou. Volgende is dit klein Mia se beurt. Ons het nou die dag berg toe gestap en toe sien ons ’n muis wat uit sy gaatjie kom” “O; vra die juffrou, “en was is die les van die storie? Die berg het aan die muis geboorte gegee juffrou,” sê Mia. “O Jaaa, dis seker waar,” sê die juffrou. Sy staal haar vir wat kom. Volgende is dit klein Kosie se beurt, “Juffrou, my pappie het my vertel van Antie Susanna wat verlede jaar op hulle plaas aangeval is. Toe sy hoor die alarm by die heining gaan af, toe besef sy hulle gaan die duur bottel brandewyn steel wat sy nou net op die dorp vir oom Koos as present gekoop het. Toe drink sy gou die bottel leeg. Toe vat sy die haelgeweer, patrone en ’n vleismes en wag hulle by die deur in. Toe hulle inkom in die huis, skiet sy ‘n gat in vier se broeke met die haelgeweer, sy sny twee se hare af met die kombuismes en slaan die laaste een katswink met die vuis.” “Oe, maar die vreeslik”, roep die juffrou uit. Watter soort les kry jou pappie uit so ‘n aaklike storie?” Kosie antwoord vroom: “Bly ver weg van Antie Susanna as sy gesuip is! ~ Michelle Boshoff

Wees op die uitkyk VF+ steeds stabiel en interne politiek vir skelmstreke belemmer nie ons beleid Rusoord-bestuur skryf: Moet onder geen omstandighede geld aan twee jong mans gee nie. Hulle beweer hul ma, ene me. Ria Benson, is steeds ‘n verpleegster by die Rusoord Tehuis vir Bejaardes. Hulle sê dat sy in ’n ernstige motorongeluk was en is in Rob Ferreira Hospitaal, Nelspruit en hulle kort geld vir haar uitgawes.
Jeremia 50:38: Ek stuur droogte, sodat daar nie water sal wees nie. Ek doen dit, want Babel is ’n land vol beelde, die mense is baie lief vir afgodsbeelde. Onse Vader vergeef ons ons sondes en seën ons droë aarde met milde reën vir ons ons boere, vir ons riviere en vir ons damme - Amen.
Reën DIE nou landwye droogte is ’n krisis van enorme omvang. In sekere dele van die land het boere se vee reeds uitgevrek en is die boere en hulle werkers gereduseer tot arm status, met geen werk en kwalik kos op hulle eie tafels. Die ekonomiese en sosiale skade se omvang is onberekenbaar. Boere wat wel gras en lusern het om op vragmotors te laai doen dit dikwels gratis of teen ’n verlaagde prys, maar diesel is duur. So mens moet nie dink hulle skep nie. En
Die pragtige koek met die woorde: “Klas van 74. 45 jaar en skop nog hoog!”
Sy bly nie eers meer in Lydenburg nie. As daar enige voorvalle was of die publiek ander wil bevestig, skakel Rusoord direk by 013 235 2146.
Mnr. Frik Roussouw van die VF+ skryf: Ons wil die DA ondersteuners bedank wat met soveel van die huidige binne gevegte in die DA, en die ineenstorting van die partystruktuur by ons aangesluit het. Dankie ook aan die nuwe lede en vir al die stemme wat ons in die onlangs Wyk 12 tussenverkiessing in Lydenburg ontvang het. Die persentasie vir die VF+ het opmerklik verhoog. In lig van al die skommelinge by die DA die afgelope week, wil ons almal gerusstel dat die VF+ steeds ’n standvastige party is met stabiele beleid vir Suid-Afrika. Interne politiek beinvloed ons nie soos ander partye nie.
Pensioenaris skryf: Ek is ’n pensioenaris en loop baie moeilik. Ek het nie my eie vervoer nie en loop waar ek moet en om kos en medisyne te koop. Ek kan huur betaal. Ek hoef nêrens gratis te bly nie. Maar dit moet in die dorp wees naby die sakesentrum dalk. ’n Kamer met ’n eie badkamer sal ideaal wees. Ek het my eie meubels en yskas en maak nog met moeite vir myself kos. As enigiemand kan laat weet van so ’n verblyfopsie in die dorp sal ek dit baie waardeer. Skakel 063 781 3714.
hulle voorrade raak ook klaar. Wild is gwoonlik meer droogte verdraagsaam as vee, maar sekere wildplase lyk ook al soos ’n woestyn. Ek het die week fotos van James Hart gesien wat wys hoe lyk Botswana. Waar jy kyk is net skoon wit sand sonder ’n enkele sprietjie gras. En hulle sit met 130 000 olifante wat die laaste waterbronne uitsuip. Gaan kyk hoe lyk die Krugerpark. Omgestote bome net waar jy kyk, a.g.v. ’n totale oorbevolking van olifante. Die droogte is weliswaar ’n krisis, maar vandat groenes en gierige wildboere met gekleurde wild begin het om natuurbewaring oor te neem, gaan alles net suid. Klimaatsverandering
met hoë temperature is nie meer ’n debat nie, dit is ’n werklikheid en dit is hier. Dit het ons almal met ons broeke op ons voete gevang. Ons is bekommerd oor Cyril en Ace en Moesie en Malemmer en Helen, maar dit is ’n vulletjie in vergelyking met wat regtig in die land en elders aan die gang is. Hoeveel gaan dit kos vir ’n bankrot boer in die Noordkaap of in Noordwes om van voor af weer te begin boer en produseer, as dit wel reën? Dit is onbegonne. Hulle gaan stede toe trek en krepeer en niemand sal iets op daardie grond kan of wil doen nie. Veld neem dekades om te herstel. Ek verneem Tzaneendam is leeg. Met die wolkberge as opvanggebied is daardie dam veronderstel om altyd vol te wees. Gooi brandstof in jou motor en soos ons van ouds gery het om te gaan sneeu kyk, ry en gaan wys jou kinders waar dit wel reën, hoe reën regtig lyk. Bid my vriende, bid sonder ophou!

This is the new Golf 8 A Volkswagen production executive says the upcoming Golf 8 is “much more complex than its predecessor”. Andreas Tostmann, Volkswagen brand board member responsible for production, said despite this the firm had managed to reduce the average build time of the eighthgeneration of the automaker’s popular hatchback.
each new Golf effectively travels 69 km on production lines until the finished vehicle leaves the factory. Interestingly, some 80 percent of the factory’s existing body shop plant and equipment has been retained, while new equipment has been installed specifically to cater for the fresh side panels of the Golf 8 (which bears what VW calls a “striking tornado line”). The Golf 8 was revealed on 24 October 2019. In South Africa. The range will comprise a 1,4 TSI variant (rather than the 1,5 TSI expected to be offered in some other markets), the popular Golf GTI derivative and the range-topping Golf R model, with the GTI set to be the first to arrive at some point in 2020. The firm’s popular hatchback will again be built on the VW Group's MQB platform. The images published by Augsburger Allgemeine shows the new Golf from head-on, “The Golf 8 is much more complex than its predecessor. Nevertheless, we have cut average manufacturing time by about one hour,” Tostmann said. “Because the Golf 8 belongs to the second-generation of MQB products, we achieved a significant reduction in production investments. Our platform strategy is delivering. The team in Wolfsburg have given their all for the Golf 8. Production processes have become more efficient overall. That is a great achievement and I would like to say a big thank you to all employees,” he added. VW furthermore confirmed production of the new Golf at the main plant in Wolfsburg (where 8 400 employees will work exclusively on the model) was “in the run-up phase”, with the first vehicles set to hit showroom floors in Germany and Austria in early December 2019. To prepare for production, the firm said approximately 700 work steps were analysed at over 400 workshops to leverage existing efficiency reserves, adding that “numerous process improvements have been implemented to make sure the eighth generation of the bestseller can be built more efficiently than its predecessor”. VW says the Golf 8 has over 2 700 individual parts and components, including 962 wiring systems with 1 340 metres of cable (some 31 wiring systems and just under 100 metre of cable more than in the Golf 7). Starting with delivery of the steel sheet, suggesting distinctly evolutionary styling changes compared with the outgoing Golf 7. Still, it’s our first decent look at the new model’s more finely sculpted headlamps (and their fresh lighting signatures), narrow grille arrangement (complete with a chromeeffect strip) and interesting lower-facia treatment.

Most powerful Maserati ever Five most expensive luxury THE Maserati Levante Trofeo is expected to launch in South Africa in the first quarter of 2020, offering a whopping 433 kW and 730 N.m from its Ferrari-built twin-turbo 3,8-litre V8. Equipped with what the Italian firm describes as “one of the most powerful engines ever fitted to a Maserati”, the Levante Trofeo – revealed back in March 2018 at the New York International Auto Show – will sprint from standstill to 100 km/h in a claimed 3,9 seconds, before topping out at 304 km/h. The eight-cylinder mill, which is assembled by Ferrari in Maranello, boasts the highest output per litre of any powerplant fitted to a Maserati and sends its oomph to all four corners via an eight-speed automatic transmission sourced from ZF. So, how much are you looking at for the flagship version of the SUV, which slots in above the Levante Diesel and Levante S? Well, while Maserati South Africa hasn’t officially revealed pricing, a CARmag.co.za source has confirmed a starting figure of R3,5-million. Maserati says this derivative’s bespoke exterior styling updates were mainly focused on the lower front facia and rear bumper. The side air intakes up front, for instance, feature a more aggressive design, while carbon-fibre side bezel blades and a carbon-fibre splitter have also been added to the mix. There’s also a model-specific bonnet and optional 22-inch alloy wheels. Round back, you’ll find a new carbon-fibre horizontal element and bodycoloured diffuser arrangement between the oval quad exhaust tips. Furthermore, “Saetta” Trofeo logos have been added to the C-pillars. Inside, the sport s e a t s a r e trimmed in fullgrain “Pieno Fiore” natural leather, complete with contrast stitching and the “ Tr o f e o ” l o g o stitched onto the headrests. There’s also new matte carbonfibre trim and paddle shifters, s p e c i f i c instrument cluster graphics, floor mats with metal “Trofeo” badges and a fancy Maserati clock. carmag.co.za
minibusses or Vans in SA HERE are the five most expensive luxury vans on South Africa’s new vehicle market: Now that Toyota South Africa Motors has added a posh new nine-seater VX flagship variant to its Quantum range, we thought we'd take a look at the five most expensive large luxury vans available on local soil... 5. Kia Grand Sedona 2,2 CRDi SXL: R825 995 Kia’s Grand Sedona makes the list in flagship SXL guise, offering seating for seven. Power comes from the Korean firm’s familiar 2,2-litre turbodiesel engine, delivering 147 kW and 440 N.m to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Interesting standard features include a dual sunroof, dual electric sliding doors and rear-seat warmers. 4. Toyota Quantum 2,8 LWB bus 9-seater VX: R843 600 Boasting a lengthy wheelbase and nine seats, the range-topping VX version of Toyota’s latest (now imported) Quantum features a pair of captain's chairs in the second row, two individual seats in the third row and a bench for three in the final row. Powered by the Japanese company’s 2,8-litre GD-6 turbodiesel engine – offering 115 kW and 420 N.m to the rear axle via a six-speed automatic transmission – the VX is visually set apart from standard Quantum by a handful of model-specific exterior styling elements. 3. Mercedes-Benz Vito 119 CDI Tourer Select auto: R940 587 While Mercedes-Benz’s Vito range undercuts the Stuttgart-based firm’s refreshed V-Class line-up, the flagship Vito is pricey enough to make this list. Yes, the eight-seater Vito 119 CDI Tourer Select (or optionally with nine pews) costs more than the base V200d, despite featuring a far more basic facia in the cabin. Power for this derivative comes from a 2,2-litre turbodiesel engine delivering 140 kW and 440 N.m to the rear axle via a seven-speed automatic gearbox. 2. Volkswagen California Coast 2.0BiTDI 4Motion: R1 069 200
The most expensive Caravelle in Volkswagen SA’s range interestingly does without the “Caravelle” badge. Yes, we’re talking about the California Coast, a camper van offering seating for just four, but also items such as a pop-up tent (with roof bed) and built-in cupboards. This flagship draws its urge from a 2,0-litre twin-turbodiesel unit, sending 150 kW and 450 N.m to all four wheels via a seven-speed automatic cog-swapper. There is also, of course, the Caravelle 2,0 BiTDI Highline 4Motion (for R1 027 700) for those requiring seven seats. 1. Mercedes-Benz V250d Avantgarde: R1 292 474 Mercedes-Benz’s range-topping V250d Avantgarde (part of the recently facelifted V-Class line-up) is the most expensive luxury van in the country, priced just short of R1,3-million. This seven-seater variant features Nappa leather, heated (and ventilated) front seats and a Burmester surround sound system as standard. Its 2,1-litre turbodiesel unit offers 140 kW and 440 N.m to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission. Sadly, the firm’s new 2,0-litre (OM654) engine and nine-speed automatic transmission – as we experienced during a drive of the V300d in Spain – are currently not available in South Africa. carmag.co.za

Spur schools MTB league continues to grow

Marco Kruger, trofee vir toegewydheid.

Hier is slegs ‘n paar foto’s van die Graad 12 Prysuitdeling wat onlangs by die Hoërskool Lydenburg plaasgevind het. Veels geluk aan al die matrieks en sterkte met die res van hul eksamens.
THE Spur Schools Mountain Bike League (SSMTBL), now in its eleventh year, is growing from strength to strength reaching new record proportions during the 2019 season with 18 757 riders competing in 57 events across South Africa. According to founder and co-ordinator, Meurant Botha of AMARIDER, the league is achieving its goal of getting kids on bikes. “The support of national and provincial Schools Cycling South Africa (SCSA) structures, regional coordinators, parents and teachers has been a key factor in the growth of the league and achieving our aim of getting kids to ride and race bikes. With the continuous involvement of Spur as founding sponsor, we have managed to grow the league from an initial 900 to nearly 19 000 riders,” says Botha. The SSMTBL is in essence a grassroots cycling development program and will work closely with governing body SCSA - an associate member of Spur Group Sponsorship & Events Manager, Khakhi Diala concluded that the 2019 SSMTL final was a perfect culmination of a super exciting season. As founding sponsor of the League, Spur is invested in grass root cycling in South Africa and signed on for the next nine years to ensure that the program goes from strength to strength,” said Diala. The decision to introduce a primary schools division to the SSMTBL in 2012 is clearly paying dividends with more 51% of participants in this year's league representing primary, creating a strong feeder to the high schools program.

DIE Donkey Derby is een van die geleenthede wat niemand mag misloop nie. Dit beloof om die pret geleentheid van die jaar te wees. Dit vind op 22 November plaas. Die fondse sal gebruik word om die netbalbane op te knap. Daar gaan ses wedrenne wees waarvan elke wedren na ’n besigheid (borg) vernoem word. Die besigheid kry ook 'n geleentheid om in die saal te adverteer met n banier of advertensiebord. Die besigheid se inligting en kontakbesonderhede sal ook in die program aangetoon word. Die borg koop ’n tafel vir R2000 en word dan uitgenooi (10 persone per tafel) om die funksie by te woon. Daar word verversings op die tafel voorsien en elke tafel kan sy eie drank saambring woorvoor ’n kurkfooi gehef gaan word. Ses perde en ses wedrenne
1. Voor elke wedren word die perde opgeveil. Die hoogste bod word die eienaar van die perd vir daai wedren 2. Die eienaar van die perd stel 'n joggie aan om die perd vir hom / haar te ry 3. Na al ses perde verkoop is, plaas almal hulle weddenskappe en tree die joggies met hulle perde aan op die baan. 4. Die perde 'hardloop' dmw die gooi van twee dobbelstene. Een kleur (perd) en een nommer (hoeveelheid blokke aanskuif) 5. Die wedren word voltooi en die eienaar van die perd ontvang sy wengeld (50% vir netbalfonds en 50% vir eienaar) 6. Die kleur perd wat wen en almal wat op hom gewed het, ontvang hulle wengeld. 7. Daar gaan ook vyfrande na ’n goeie bottel drank (borg) gegooi word en die naaste gooi wen die bottel 8. Pryse gaan oorhandig word vir: a. Beste geklede person b. Mees innoverende koelhouer c. Mees energieke joggie. Kom ons span saam en maak die Donkey Derby ’n sukses en ’n onvergeetlike geleentheid.
