MM held responsible for missing
R60 000 A criminal case of theft against the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s newly appointed municipal manager, Mr Masiye Elias Mankabidi, seems to have been “dropped”). The case was opened in 2006, after Mankabidi in his capacity as CFO of the Greater Letaba Municipality (Modjadjiskloof) and Ellene Schnel (the income accountant) were found guilty of gross negligence after R60 000 had gone missing. A disciplinary tribunal found them both guilty of gross negligence at the time and recommended that they be fired. They were, however, only suspended — for about eight months (June to February). The mayor of the GLM, Mr Josua Matlou, said at the time he allowed them to return to work on condition they repaid the R60 000. The incident caused a stir when it was established that the GLM had spent R358 500 on lawyers to handle the disciplinary hearing, and R400 000 for their salaries during their suspension. We tried to find out about the police investigation, but couldn’t speak to anyone who is authorised to speak to the media from the SAPS or the justice department or the GLM before our deadline. In 2007 the DA’s coucillor in the GLM, Ms Rene Pohl, said she was not only concerned with the soft sentence, but also the amount paid to the lawyers. “It’s really a huge amount, and we believe it’s an issue that the Law Society should be asked to investigate,” she said at the time. Pohl voted for Mankabidi’s appointment in the GTM’s Exco meeting last week, but then made a U-turn in the council meeting and voted against his apppointment. Mayor Dikeledi Mmetle hauled her over the coals in no uncertain terms for this.

Tzaneen Municipal Manager’s appointment
Rural areas: FREE • Platteland: GRATIS
Fear lessl y the tr uth
• Not qualified • Guilty of gross negligence • Suspended and reinstated • Investigated for theft
It’s a farce!
Last week’s appointment of Mr Masiye Elias Mankabidi as Municipal Manager of the Greater Tzaneen is said to be incomprehensible (except for the councillors who voted in his favour) and definitely inadmissible. The two most prominent reasons for the uproar about Mankabidi’s appointment, who ”required a monthly salary of R91 666,66” — are: • His qualifications, and • The fact that he has been found guilty of gross negli-
gence by a tribunal and that his negligence is/was being investigated by the SA Police. According to his CV, Mankabidi (43) holds a B Comm degree from the University of the North (UniLim), a certificate in municipal finance from Wits, a diploma in project management from Damelin and seven other short course certificates (things like time management, chairing a disciplinary meeting, chain management etc). He obtainmed his degree in

1995 but only started in his first job in 1997, with Sapekoe Estates as admin manager/accountant. In October 2003 he was appointed as chief financial officer (CFO) of the Greater Letaba Municipality, in September 2011 he became CFO of the Mopani District Municipality and on 4 July this year he was re-deployed as acting municipal manager of the GTM. The vacancy for MM was advertised by the GTM, stipulating, amongst others, the following qualification: “A minimum qualification of an appropriate NQF level 7 or a B degree Hons in related field.” Mankabidi has neither an NQF level 7 qualification, nor a B Honours degree. Another interesting aspect is that Mankabidi claims to have completed his B Comm in only two years. People reckon that this is unlikely, but add that if he managed to do the three year course in two years, he could be seen as rather talented when it comes to the subjects for his degree. However, according to his matric certificate he scraped through both Business Economics and Accounting with E symbols. He did better in Economics with a C symbol. It could thus be said that he sparked at university level in subjects that weren’t his best at school. There is yet another interesting aspect to Mankabidi’s appointment, namely that in order of merit he was only fourth on the
short list of seven candidates. The previous director: community services of the GTM, Mr O Z Mkhombo, was the most preferred candidate by the panel who interviewed the seven candidates. Mkhombo has since been re-appointed as director: community services. The second candidate on the list of preferred candidates was Mr I P Mushinyadi and Ms M E Lebepe was third. — Francois Aucamp francois@bulletin.us.com

Gouetottie en die drie Gaunkies
Vlieg praat met die Volk en krap waar dit jeuk...
Oorvertel deur Vlieg
kry, soos elke ander Saterdag, gevolg deur die gebruiklike diaree op Maandag. Intussen ry Gouetottie in die plakkerkamp rond met sy swart Audi Q7 met laeprofielbande, blou ligte en verdonkerde vensters. Hy het niks beters om te doen nie, want al doen hy niks, kry hy in elk geval aan die einde van die maand ‘n moerse salaris. Toe hy by die gaunkies se huisie verby ry, ruik hy die pap en stop. Al was die deur oop het hy dit oopgeskop, omdat hy geen respek het vir ander se eiendom nie. Anders as in die meer bekende weergawe van hierdie verhaal, vreet hy toe sommer al drie die bakkies pap op, en die oorskiet KFC wat in die yskas was. (Die R1 000-yskas word afbetaal en gaan op die ou end vir Mangaung R5 000 kos, maar hy het nie so daaraan gedink nie.) Toe hy dik gevreet is, sit hy op die paraffienblik en rook Mangaung se BB-twak in ‘n Sowetan-zol, wat hy nog steeds rook ten spyte van sy bloedhoesery. Hy het skielik vaak geraak, omdat hy aan slaap-apnee ly, vanweë sy dik lyf, en dikwels bedags sommer enige plek sit en slaap, veral by die werk. Hy gaan lê toe op baba-gaung se kombersie in die hoek, ook omdat hy as kind gewoond was om op die vloer te slaap. Toe die drie gaunkies tuis kom van die begrafnis af sien hulle die Q7 voor die huis en dat die deur afgeskop is. Toe hulle geen antwoord kry by 10111 nie, het Mangaung maar saggies in die huis ingegaan om te kyk wat aangaan. Gouetottie het egter wakker geword van baba-gaung se geskree oor die oorskiet KFC weg is, lekker gestrek, in die voortuin gepiepie en weggery in sy groot swart motor. Waarop mamma-gaung hom agterna toesnou…”Wat is fout met jou, rape jy nie meer nie? Ons het ‘n shower agter die huis!” Van toe af het Gouetottie besef, omdat dit so maklik is om die arm werkersklas te bedonner, gaan hy dit voortaan elke dag doen!
Eendag, nie te lank gelede nie, het daar drie Gaunkies in ‘n plakkerskamp langs ‘n munisipale stortingterrein gewoon. Mangaung was die pappa-gaung. Hy was maer en uitgeteer en het gereeld bloed opgehoes en het elke maand by die apteek in die dorp baie pille moes koop, omdat die kliniek in die plakkerkamp nooit medikasie gehad het nie. Vrougaung was die mammagaung. Sy het groot boude gehad, baie groot boude, en het hoëhakskoene gedra, wat haar tone op ‘n stywe punt laat trek het. Sy het ‘n paar pruike gehad, wat sy by ‘n Chinese straatsmous gekoop het en amper elke dag ‘n ander een gedra. Baba-gaung se groot magie het altyd onder sy hemp uitgesteek en die vlieë het heeldag om sy snotneusie gedraai. Hulle het elkeen ‘n selfoon gehad, en twee keer per week lotto-kaartjies gekoop. Hul hop-huisie in die plakkerkamp was maar klein, net twee vertrekke. Een vir slaap en een vir die res, alles. Op die dak was twee ou buitebande. Die latrine was aan die westekant van die huis. Daar was twee krane in die huis, maar hulle het hul water twee blokke verder by ‘n gemeenskaplike straatkraan gaan haal, in ou plastiekdromme op Mangaung se werkgewer se verdwene kruiwa. Die krag vir die huis het hulle met ‘n vier millimeter-kragdraad wat onder die pad deur begrawe is, by ‘n ander huis in die naburige township gesteel. Die drie gaunkies is vermoedelik oorspronklik van Zimbabwe af, maar hul identiteitsdokumente wat hulle by ‘n Nigeriër gekoop het, is so goed vervals, niemand sal die verskil agterkom nie. Een Saterdagoggend het mamma-gaung slap pap gemaak, maar omdat dit nog te warm was om te eet en hulle die taxi na die begrafnis sou verpas, is hulle by die huis uit sonder om te eet. Hulle sou in elk geval baie kos by die begrafnis

Tzaneen-omgewing het weer ‘n balju Uiteindelik! Tzaneen en die hele Letaba-distrik het weer ‘n balju. Verskeie balju-distrikte in die land het die afgelope paar jaar gebuk gegaan onder tydelike balju-aanstellings. Die Letaba-balju-distrik was een van dié. Die Balju Raad het egter skouer aan die wiel gesit en die tydelike aanstellings uitgewis en goed gekwalifiseerde persone in permanente poste aangestel. Mnr Tertius Robertson van Phalaborwa is as die nuwe balju vir die Letaba-distrik met ingang van 1 Desember aangestel. Sy vrou Sonja gaan hom in die kantoor met admini-
strasie ondersteun. Die kantoor is in Peacestraat 1b — waar Peace- en Agathastraat vurk, regoor die moskee. Rigting- en naambordaanwysings sal mettertyd opgerig word. Die telefoonnommer is 015 307 2906 en die faksnommer is 015 307 3047. Robertson het dertien jaar lank in die Phalaborwa- en aangrensende distrikte as adjunk-balju ondervinding opgedoen. Hy was ook geruime tyd die kantoorbestuurder van sewe Distrikte onder die leiding van die balju, mnr Sidney Park.
Mooi, meneer die verkeersman... nogal van die provinsiale verkeersafdeling. Hoe de duiwel gaan ons ooit in ‘n land met ‘n rekord hoë ongeluksyfer motoriste dissiplineer en oplei en bewus maak van gehoorsaamheid en respek vir die reëls en regulasies as so ‘n swak voorbeeld gestel word? Dit is tog ‘n duidelik gemerkte parkering vir gestremdes. Maar ons is mos bo die wet verhewe!
Raadslid weg; nuwe Ligte reg een op pad Mnr Luke Perkins het bedank as stadsraadslid (DA) van die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit. Hy het ‘n aanstelling as skoolhoof gekry en verhuis. Die DA het vinnig gespring en mnr Bernard Nel gewerf om die vakature te vul (geen tussenverkiesing is nodig nie). Nel is bekend as ‘n baie belese man met ‘n lewendige belangstelling in wêreldpolitiek. Sy benoeming moet nog deur die DA se topbestuur goedgekeur word.
Tzaneeners kan nou uitsien na beter verkeersvloei in die dorp gedurende die besige feesseisoen. Die verkeersligte wat vir ‘n lang tyd by die Tzaneen Crossing en die Lifestylesentrum net geflikker het, werk nou weer. Dit het lank geneem om die ligte reg te kry, omdat ‘n Johannesburgse tegnikus meer as een keer na Tzaneen moes kom om die probleem finaal uit te stryk — wat elektronies van aard was en nie elektries nie.
Robertson het die balju-kursus wat onder die wakende oog van die Technikon SA aangebied word, in 2003 suksesvol voltooi. Hy het ook oor die jare heen verskeie seminare van die Balju Raad bygewoon. Die Robertsons het drie kinders en hulle gaan voorlopig in Phalaborwa aanbly. “Die tyd sal ons leer wanneer om na Tzaneen te verhuis,” sê Robertson. Die Robertsons is op die foto hiernaas.

Bolobedu fiend caught The community of Bolobedu can finally sleep peacefully after two months of being terrorised by a gang of criminals. Through the efforts of the Trio crime prevention unit and underground detectives, the gang leader, Matome Simon Mainetja (25), was arrested on Sunday in Marumeleng. The Tzaneen Cluster commander, Maj Gen Maggy Mathebula, said the gang has been terrorising Kgapane, Sekgopo, Modjadjiskloof, Rapitsi, Bolobedu and Haenertsburg. She explained that during Mainetja’s arrest police recovered ten cell phones, a monitor, akeyboard, a CPU, jewellery, a pair of Carvela shoes, electric appliances and two firearms. The two firearms are believed to have been stolen from a traffic officer and a police officer. Mainetja’s other accomplices were arrested in different places. Two were arrested in Bolobedu but are linked with Maake cases and four were arrested in Haenertsburg. Mathebula expressed her gratitude towards the support given by the Bolobedu community and the efforts by the police to arrest the “Bolobedu fiend”. Mainetja and his gang are accused of rape, housebreaking, attempted murder, theft and robbery. In one of the rape cases he allegedly raped a woman in front of her husband at their house. He appeared before the Bolobedu magistrate court and was denied bail. He will appear again next Friday. The police are still searching for two more suspects, Peter and Maopela, who are believed to be armed.

Arrested Three housebreaking syndicates were arrested by the Letsitele police. The groups allegedly robbed a supermarket at Mavele in N’wamitwa last week Wednesday. The Tzaneen Cluster spokesman, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, said the three men broke into the supermarket through the roof. They stole groceries, cosmetics and cigarettes but the goods were recovered during the arrest. Meanwhile 28 people were arrested du-ring the weekend: one person was arrested for shoplifting, two for assault GBH, one for intimidation, six for illegal gambling, one for possession of dagga, one for road traffic act, twelve for liquor act, one for urinating in public and one for malicious damage to property.
No mercy for criminals; police hit hard and often During a special operation two suspects (aged 28 and 45) were arrested by the Politsi-K9 Dog Unit at Maake, after they had been found in possession of four bags of dagga. According to Tzaneen Police Cluster spokesman, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, the 45 year-old, man was a wanted suspect after he had run away from an accident scene in Magoebaskloof a month ago. Both the suspects will appear in the Naphuno magistrate’s court on a charge of possession of dagga and the 45 year-old man will appear in the Haenertsburg magistrate’s court on another charge of possession of dagga and the violation of the road traffic act (as he ran away after an accident without
reporting it to the police). Ngoepe said investigations are still continuing. Meanwhile the Tzaneen Cluster Commander, Maj Gen Maggy Mathebula, has praised the family violence and child protection unit and the detectives for their achievements in arresting four rapists and two murderers, who received heavy jail terms. Matome Jeoffrey Rabothta (20) from Motupa, Bolobedu, was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a 28 year-old woman, ten years for attempting to rape an 18 year-old female and also ten years for raping a 19 year-old female. Ntakaneng John Mametja (22) from Mamaila, Bolobedu, was sentenced to life in prison for raping a 32 year-old in 2011. Mametja found the woman collecting fire-wood in the bush and raped her. Ngoako Marobela (24) from Matshilapata, Maake, was sentenced to ten years in prison for raping a 17 year-old girl. Selepe Isaac Lekukela (20) was sentenced to six months in prison or R1 500 for theft and Adolph Peter Nkgapele (26) and Kgomotso Ranaga (22) from Relela village were sentenced to twenty years in prison each for killing Thabo Sydney Mohale (29) on 26 February 2012.

Pets deserve a happy festive season The festive season is usually a time of cheer, but for many animals it is a time of terror. New Year’s Eve with its displays of fireworks, is a very dangerous time. Cats and dogs are able to hear a wider and softer range of sounds than humans. This is the reason why most pets are terrified — fireworks sound at least five times louder to them. To ensure that your pets stay safe and happy, find out when and where displays of fireworks are scheduled. Make sure that you are either home during the event or that your animal is kept in a room with high windows. If that is not
possible make sure that your animal has identification in case it runs away. The Explosives Act states that it is unlawful to discharge any firework in any building, on any public thoroughfare or in any public place or resort without prior written permission of the local authority. It also states that no person may discharge fireworks on any premises without a permit. SPCA urges people to report unlawful firework displays to the SAPS. Next week we will deal with more tips regarding your pets during the festive time.

The majority of state owned farms are not members of the Letaba Fire Protection Association and because of negligence their farms and adjoining land burnt down again this year. Commercial farmers have sued the government for millions of rands because of this state of affairs, and the department of rural development and land reform realised they urgently needed to intervene. About thirty lessee beneficiaries of the department were invited to a workshop to discuss possible solutions to help, protect and manage the farms against fires. Ms Maritza Swanepoel, PRO of the LFPA, addressed them about the advantages of becoming members. Mr Brian Homewood from the Department of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries explained the relevant chapters in the National Veld and Forest Fire Act. The department offered to pay the membership fees for these beneficiaries, provided they abide by the LFPA’s rules and regulations. The department will also help beneficiaries to undergo basic fire fighting training and help for the necessary equipment to be obtained. Seen here are Brian Homewood (department of agriculture, forestry & fisheries), Ms Maritza Swanepoel, Messrs Victor Molope (deputy director: department of dural development and Land Reform) and Kenneth Makhubule (chief environmental epecialist: rural development and land reform). Behind them are the beneficiaries who attended the workshop.

Uitnodiging
Ons verstaan daar is mense in die gemeenskap wat meen die Bulletin bring net slegte nuus van die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit. Hulle is nie ver verkeerd nie, maar beslis nie volkome reg nie. Die werklikheid is dat ons graag die draers van goeie nuus is. Ons het alle menige nuuswaardighede wat goeie nuus is, (meesal ekslusief) aangekondig. Gee vir ons die sogenaamde goeie of positiewe nuus (ons sê ‘sogenaamd’, want ons gee net nuus deur en onderskei nie tussen sogenaamd goed en sleg, positief en negatief nie). Ons sal die nuus graag dra, maar waaragtig, ons kry dit tans nie in die gange van die GTM se withuis nie.
Patetiese GTM
Ons woordeskat laat ons in die steek as ons die stand van sake in die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit wil beskryf. Skandelik, jammerlik, onvergeeflik, gevaarlik, selfvernietigend... ons sal maar volstaan met pateties. Die mense is onbeholpe — amptenare en raadslede — en slinger nou in ‘n stywe tempo op die afgrond af. Die rampsaligheid wat hierin verskuil is, is dat dit die dorp se inwoners gaan saam sleep. Die mense wat swaar en duur belasting betaal, wat die dorp en die distrik eintlik aan die gang hou, gaan saam sink. Wie dan gaan red, is ondenkbaar; of as daar hoegenaamd gered kan word. Intussen sit ons rustig agter ons hoë mure en elektrise heinings. Tot eendag...
Daar is net nie einde aan die skeppende vermoëns en talente waarmee sommige mense geseënd is nie!

Ek het egter ‘n probleem daarmee as die belastingbetaler en algemene publiek wat die kieserskorps verteenwoordig se belange verkrag word, om selfsugtige doelwitte te bereik. Die pas afgelope meevallertjie net voor kersfees aan die werknemers in diens van die belastingbetaler behoort die belastingbetaler tot bewustheid te skok. Meer aandag moet gegee word aan wat die plaaslike regering doen of nie doen nie. Die publiek behoort kennis te neem dat die pas toegestane verhoging toegelaat is sonder dat enige oorweging geskenk is aan die aanvaarbare praktyk om behoorlik vir uitgawes te begroot. Hierdie aksie is deel van ‘n trend wat besig is om te vestig. Dit word voorafgegaan deur vandalistiese optrede deur die personeel van die raad ten einde hulle eise op ‘n tandelose disfunksionele raad af te dwing. Die eindresultaat is dat die polisie en politici, beide op die betaalstaat van die belastingbetaler, slegs toeskouers is wanneer vandale die bates van die belastingbetaler verniel. Dit eindig egter nie hier nie. Die belastingbetaler moet dan die skade en die nuwe salarisverhogings finansier. Wat ‘n klap in die gesig van die belastingbetaler. Dit is ongelukkig die realiteit en nie goedkoop komedie nie. Die ANC meerderheid is besig om hierdie gemeenskap se openbare sektor in die grond te bestuur. Ons kan dit nie langer duld nie. Die impak wat die onbegrote salarisverhogings op dienslewering gaan hê is duidelik. Departemente waarvan verwag word om dienslewering te verskaf moet nou hulle begrotings snoei om die ongeoorloofde salarisverhogings van vandale te finansier. Wie se belange word hier gedien? Die motivering vir die salarisverhogings was dat dit die werknemers gaan aanspoor om meer produktief te wees. Wel, dit is wensdenkery. Daar gaan nie fondse beskikbaar wees om dienslewering te finansier nie. Dit gaan tot gevolg hê dat die oorbetaalde werkerkorps ledig gaan rondlê of besnoei moet word. Daar is geen beter motivering vir die vandale om daagliks minder te doen en jaarliks meer te eis nie. Dit is ongelukkig die realiteit. Die personeel wat graag ‘n verskil wil maak is ook ongelukkig besig om in die dryfsand van gemaksug te verdwyn. Logika en gesonde verstand is nie deel van die kriteria wat besluitneming motiveer nie. Die besluitnemers is vasgevang in ‘n gemaksone en hulle ondeurdagte besluite is bewys daarvan. My reaksie mag miskien as negatief ervaar word in sekere kringe, maar wat moet jy doen as daar meer vrae as antwoorde is? Hoe moet een reageer as die flaters van die publieke verteenwoordigers so blatant is dat dit net toegeskryf kan word aan onbeholpenheid? Die publiek verdien beter. Finish and klaar soos een van die senior rampokkers in die mafia sou se. Doen jouself die guns, as dit ‘n guns genoem kan word en besoek die ingang na Claude Wheatley vanaf die golf dryfbaan wat aan ‘n senior GTM amptenaar behoort. Jy sal die volgende daar opmerk. Stoptekens wat agter kragpale versteek is. Geraamtes van stoptekens. Onduidelike padmerke. Volg Claude Wheatley Rylaan, of dit wat van hom oor is, tot by die kruising by CTM. Dit herinner aan ‘n krotbuurt in die onderdorp van Lagos.Let op na die onvoldoende
Letters • Briewe padmerke in een van die besigste kruisings in Tzaneen. Ry terug met die roete in die rigting van die golf dryfbaan en vra jouself die vraag of dit die resultaat moet wees van iemand wat R800 000 per jaar verdien. In die gees van kollektiewe besluitneming en geen aanspreeklikheid kan ons maar ons mede amptenare attend maak op tekortkominge of hoe? Dit gaan nie help om ‘n 4x4 te koop wanneer ons Claude Wheatley aandurf en ABS remme op ons 1980 Ford-bakkie aan te bring nie. Dit is hoe die dokters ryk word deur die simptome te dokter. Nee ons sal die kanker moet identifseer en permanent van dit ontslae moet raak. Intussen hang die donker skadu van die R800 000-klub onheilspellend oor die toekoms van ons gemeenskap. Die optrede van die vandale word gemotiveer deur die lidmaatskap aan die groepie uitgelese topverdieners wat ons uit die woestyn moet lei. Dit is mos hoekom mense buitensporig vergoed word want hulle beskik onder meer oor buitengewone leierseienskappe. Ek maak weer die voorspelling dat die belastingbetaler nie sal gaan lê nie. Kom ons wys vir ons gemeenskap wat is leierskap met visie en waardes. Die gemeenskap verdien dit.
Dankie Die Tzaneen gemeenskapskoor het hul afskeidsete op 26 November by Letaba River Lodge Eco Park gehou. Hulle wil graag ‘n groot dankie sê aan Leon de Lange en sy vrou vir hul gasvryheid, die puik manier waarop hulle die geleentheid hanteer het en dat hul dit moontlik gemaak het. “Dit was ‘n pragtige, puik ete!”
Huldeblyk Sophi Kleinhans van Tzaneen skryf: ‘n Herfsblaar val: Ek bring graag hulde aan Helen Wellman. Ons was jarelange bure tot Helen besluit het om na die Pioniers woonstelle te verhuis. Ons vriendskap van sestien jaar beslaan boekdele! Helen was haar eie, unieke mens met vele fasette wat oral kon inskakel en ‘n talentvolle, veelsydige kunstenaar. Op bestel -ling vir geskenke het sy vir my dogters, (eie, aangelas en bygekry) die mooiste tafeldoeke geskilder, wat vandag nog in hul huise pryk! Sy het ‘n wye algemene kennis gehad en kon maklik raad gee vir probleme, al is dit nou net hoe om maroelajellie reg te dokter! Sy was passievol oor die straatkinders in en om die dorp. Met die projek waarmee sy en ander besig was het sy baie hartseer aanskou. Op ‘n keer met haar gesig in haar hande gesit en huil oor ‘n spesifieke geval in die gebied waarin hul gewerk het. Helen het ook verskillende gelowe bestudeer. Glo my, sy kon mense ook maar lekker omkrap met haar eiesoortigheid, selfs vir my! Maar mooi en goeie gedagtes oorheers dit alles!
Ons lewe in `n tyd wat baie aandag gegee word aan diëte. Sommige mense glo jy moet eet volgens jou bloedgroep. Ander mense glo weer jy moet alle suiwel uitsny. Op stuk van sake gaan dit oor ons gesondheid. Ons wil almal graag gesond wees en mooi oud word. Hoe lyk ons geestelike diëet? Wat neem ons in deur ons oë en ore? Wat is vir ons heilsaam en wat nie? Dikwels kan ons nie keer nie, omdat dit op ons afgedwing word deur gesprekke, reklameborde en koerantopskrifte. Ons kan egter sif en besluit waaraan ons verder wil dink en waarvan ons liefs wil vergeet. `n Ou kerkvader het gesê dat jy nie kan keer dat voëls oor jou kop vlieg nie, maar jy kan wel keer dat hulle in jou hare nes maak. Baie van ons loop deesdae met woeste neste in ons hare rond. Ons laat toe dat al die negatiewe dinge in ons land in ons hare nes maak, en die positiewe dinge wat om ons gebeur, waardeer ons nie genoeg nie. Terwyl Paulus in die tronk sit, skryf hy aan die gemeente in Filippi: “Verder, broers, alles wat waar is, alles wat edel is, alles wat reg is, alles wat rein is, alles wat mooi is, alles wat prysenswaardig is – watter deug of lofwaardige saak daar ook mag wees – daarop moet julle julle gedagtes rig.” Kom ons neem Paulus se woorde ter harte en laat nie toe dat die negatiewe voëls nes maak in ons hare nie. Natuurlik moet ons as Christene ons ook beywer vir reg en geregtigheid, maar `n pessimistiese ingesteldheid doen meer kwaad as goed. Die bekende gebed van die Amerikanse teoloog Reinold Niebuhr help ons ook op dié pad: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.” Mooi naweek!
Helen, ek gaan jou baie mis, nooit weer vir ons tee en ietsie te ete maak nie, nooit weer saam met jou bid nie, nooit weer saam gesels oor die wel en wee van almal nie, nooit weer saam met jou dorp toe ry nie! Nooit weer jou swart karretjie sien wegry en met ‘n laaste wuif om die muur verdwyn nie. Nooit het ek geweet dit gaan die laaste keer wees toe jy laas hier was nie! Die koraalboom wat jy geplant het, is nou net agter die muur en gooi sy heerlike skaduwee oor my stoepie, jou palmboom wat moes plek maak vir die muur het ‘n ereplek in my tuin gekry, dit groei pragtig en is al yslik groot! Geliefde vriendin, ek groet jou, tot Eendag!
Baie dankie Anneri Vorster en ds Barry van der Merwe van Letsitele skryf: Ons derde Kerskuiermark is verby en ons kan almal ontspan. Baie dankie vir die Bulletin se besonderse aandeel aan die sukses van ons mark. Dit was ‘n plesier om

Now or never Desiree van der Walt MPL, DA Limpopo Spokesperson on Education, writes: The DA welcomes the Annual National Assessment results released on Monday. In Limpopo, how-
ever, we are seriously concerned about the very poor performance in mathematics especially the Grade 9 results. Mathematics scores in fact get progressively worse the higher the grade. Urgent intervention must take place to stem this adverse pattern. The report includes the following mathematics results: Grades 1 to 5 indicates an improvement in mathematics from 2011 results; Grade 6 showed a decline in mathematics from 25 to 21%; Grade 9 learners achieved an average score of 8.5%, the lowest in the country. Limpopo Grades 4 (13.7%), Grade 5 (7.4%), Grade 6 (4.6%) and Grade 9 (0.5%) is lowest % who achieved adequate and higher levels of performance in mathematics (means who achieved 50% and more in tests). The improvements in lower grades show that there must be best practice models that could be followed. The poor results for Grade 6 and 9 learners require further interrogation. The DA spokesperson in Parliament wrote to the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education, to request that the Basic Education Portfolio Committee (i) prioritises a discussion on different models and interventions to address the quality of maths and science in South Africa, (ii) call for representations by education experts on how maths and science education can be improved, (iii) call for input from successful schools in maths and science to provide their best practice methods, and (iv) make recommendations to the Department of Basic Education on an alternative model for teaching these critical subjects. We must get it right now or we will fail our learners and deny them the right they can use to equip themselves with the necessary skills and knowledge to compete in the economy and improve their lives.

Hof gee TAS toe gelyk Die Arbeidshof het Woensdag bevind dat Tzaneen Ambulansdienste (Tzaneen Ambulance Services = TAS), die gemeenkapsprojek wat twee jaar gelede deur skenkings uit die gemeenskap op die been gebring is, nie oneties, immoreel, onregverdig of onredelik jeens mnr Marlan Heeres en sy vrou Debra was nie. Die Heeresse se Zambi Ambulansdiens het twee jaar gelede tot stilstand gekom, vanweë finansiële probleme. TAS is toe op die been gebring en die Heeresse het ‘n kort rukkie vir TAS gewerk. Hulle het later “onmoontlike” finansiële eise gestel. TAS se direksie het geweier om aan hul eise gehoor te gee, omdat dit nie in die beste belang van die maatskappy sou wees nie, en toe bedank die egpaar. Toe die direksie die bedankings aanvaar, het hulle omgespring en wou die bedankings terugtrek, maar die direksie het voet
by stuk gehou dat die bedankings aanvaar is. Hulle is toe na die Kommissie vir Versoening, Mediasie en Rekonsiliasie (KVMR = CCMA), wat bevind het hulle moet heraangestel of ‘n stywe bedrag betaal word. TAS het hierteen geappelleer en die Arbeidshof het Woensdag ten gunste van TAS beslis en die saak uitgegooi. Die regter het in sy uitspraak gesê die beslissing van die KVMRK was buite hul jurisdiksie, omdat die bedanking nooit teruggetrek is nie en daar geen ontslag was nie. Die regter het sy bevinding ‘n bevel van die hof gemaak en nie na die KVMK terug verwys nie. Die saak is dus finaal afgehandel. Daar is destyds in die gemeenskap, en selfs in sommige media, gefluister dat TAS buite orde was en die Heeresse onbehoorlik behandel het, wat nou verkeerd bewys is. Jéan Meintjes en Helga de la Port is onlangs in die huwelik bevestig, nadat hulle die spreekwoordelike sewe sakke sout (sewe jare van onafgebroke saam wees) opgeëet het! Jean is die bekende metaalbeeldhouer van Gravelotte. Ds Hendrik Janse van Rensburg van die Volle Evangelie Kerk het hulle by Sanloo Manor in die huwelik bevestig.
Tzaneen se erg verwaarloosde munisipale swembad gaan volgens ‘n notule van die GTM se stadsraad in 2013 herstel word. Dit is baie goeie nuus, veral vir die dorp se jonger geslag. Maar kenners is skepties hieroor, omdat daar nie geld is nie en dit nie duidelik is hoe die stadsraad die koste gaan dek nie. Na verwagting kan die herstelwerk maklik tot R250 000 beloop, aangesien daar erge krake is (omdat die swembad reeds baie lank sonder water is). Die foto wys ook duidelik hoe die omliggende strukture erg vervalle geraak het. Foto: Beaunice Mnisi
Samaritaan vra hulp Daar is baie mense wat graag ‘n verskil in ander se lewens wil maak, maar nie weet waar om te begin nie. Met Kersfees om die draai is daar ook welsynsorganisasies wat vir mense in nood ook ‘n lekker Kersfees wil verseker. Twee persone wat graag ‘n verskil wil maak, is mnr Jens de Bruyn en sy vrou Martie. Hulle bly in die Tarentaalrandomgewing en het gehoor van mense wat in erge nood verkeer. Hulle poog nou om ‘n bank te begin om armoede in die omgewing te verlig. Klere, kos, beddens, matrasse en beddegoed word benodig. Produkte soos vars vrugte is baie welkom. Bederfbare goedere kan ook geskenk word, aangesien daar genoeg bergplek is. Daar word baie versigtig gewerk om die regte goed by
die regte mense te kry. Die De Bruyns vind eers uit waar die nood is en wat presies benodig word en dan word goed geskenk. Hulle volg ook na die tyd op of daar dalk nog iets benodig word en hoe dit met die mense gaan. As die De Bruyns ‘n surplus het, skenk hulle dit aan welsynorganisasies soos die SAVF, sodat niks verlore gaan nie. Van die mense wat deur hierdie inisiatief gehelp is, is ‘n gesin wat in ‘n vragmotor se bak gebly het. Daar is ook ‘n gesin van twaalf wat in ‘n klein huisie sonder riool, elektrisiteit en lopende water bly, wat dringend hulp nodig het. Vir meer inligting of om iets te skenk, skakel Jens by 082 571 5341 of 015 307 3603 (tydens kantoorure). — Retha Nel retha@bulletin.us.com

Pasop vir kansvatters Dié tyd van die jaar is daar baie welsynsorganisasies wat om donasies vra. Mense moet seker maak dat die kollektante wel van die betrokke organisasie is en wettig geld insamel. Die God’s Haven Sorgsentrum in Tzaneen het baie navrae ontvang, nadat daar in die dorp namens hulle koekies verkoop en geld ingesamel is. Die bestuur sê dat daar tans geen persone is wat magtiging het om namens
hulle geld in te samel nie. ‘n Magtigingsbrief op ‘n amptelike briefhoof, deur ‘n bestuurslid onderteken, moet getoon kan wordword. Groepe of individue wat wel geld wil insamel vir verdienstelike organisasies of goedere wil skenk, moet die organisasie skakel en uitvind watter proses gevolg moet word. — Retha Nel retha@bulletin.us.com

South Africa has a shortage of qualified doctors, especially in public hospitals. It is therefore a shame that a a qualified surgeon, gynaecologist and oncologist, Dr Tamar Perri from Israel, struggled for eighteen months to find a job in Limpopo. She tried her utmost best to the OK to practice in SA. Her goal was to work in a public hospital in Limpopo, but after such a long struggle she has headed back to Israel.

LiN Media Awards The ten community newspapers that form part of the LiN Media group went all out to honour and reward newspapers and employees for exceptional and noteworthy work between June 2011 and June 2012. With all the glitz and glamour of an african Oscar event, the newspapers gathered on Friday night at the Eco Park to celebrate and reward excellence. A number of VIP’s from Polokwane, Pretoria and Johannesburg as well as sponsors attended the awards function. Categories included Writing, Photography, Layout design, Graphic design, Websites and Best newspaper.
Die LiN Media Groep wat tien gemeenskapskoerante in Limpopo en Mpumalanga verteenwoordig, het Vrydagaand nog ‘n deurbraak
gemaak, toe joernaliste, ontwerpkunstenaars en fotograwe vir goeie werk beloon is. LiN (Limpopo Independent Newspapers) is steeds ‘n unieke formasie op Suid-Afrika se koerantlandskap. Die sambreelorganisasie is sowat vyf jaar gelede deur die eienaars van die Zoutnet-groep in Louis Trichardt/Makhado, die Observer in Polokwane en die Bulletin in Tzaneen gestig. Die weerloosheid van die klein onafhanklike koerante in die meedoënlose aanslag waarmee die groot koerantgroepe die kleintjies afknou op ‘n baie ongelyke speelveld, het aanleiding tot die stigting van LiN gegee.
The Post from Bela Bela was named Best Newspaper. Mr Neel Naicker, CEO of Paarl Coldset Printers, who sponsored the floating trophy and a “fat” prize for this category, is flanked by Mss Bea Emslie and Keina Swart, co-owners of the newspaper
Dit het gou begin groei en het die belangstelling van ander onafhanklike koerante in die provinsie gelok. Nou is die ledetal nie meer tot Limpopo beperk nie en landwyd word LiN se doen en late gevolg . Die voorsitter van LiN, mnr Francois Aucamp, sê LiN dien as model en ‘n sambreelorganisasie wat op LiN se lees geskoei is, is onlangs in die Oos-Kaap op die been gebring. “Ons kry navrae uit die ander provinsies en daar is selfs al gevra dat ons koerante in ander streke moet gaan help om soortgelyke sambreelorganisasies op die been te bring. “Ons lede is almal steeds ten
volle onafhanklik en elkeen doen sy eie ding, maar ons besin saam oor opleiding van ons personeel, aankope, nuwe ontwikkelings in die mark vir gedrukte media, ons het saam-saam ‘n webwerf-model ontwerp en ontwikkel en ons stem word graag gehoor in die raadsale van gevestigde organisasies soos die Association of Independent Publishers, die Redakteursforum en ander.” Die LiN Media Awards het nou ook groot belangstelling ontlok en dit is duidelik dat uit die ander streke in die land soortgelyke geleenthede aangebied gaan word. Daar was reeds baie positiewe terugvoer van borge en daar is let-
terlik tou gestaan om borgskappe aan te bied. Aucamp sê in LiN word baie klem gelê op opleiding van personeel. “Ons lidkoerante is almal van ‘n baie hoë gehalte en hoë standaarde word gestel, want ons belê in ons personeel. Dit is ook uniek om te sien hoe verskriklik laag die personeelomset by die lidkoerante is,” sê hy. LiN bied deur die lidkoerante aan adverteerders ‘n voetspoor wat die provinsie dek: Bela Bela, Thabazimbi, Mokopane, Lephalale, Makhado, Venda (Thohoyandou), Tzaneen (min of meer die hele Mopani-distrik), Hoedspruit, Bosbokrand, Lenyenye en Witrivier.

ALGEMENE JAARVERSLAG 1 JANUARIE 2012 – 3 DESEMBER 2012 Hospice Tzaneen is ‘n nie-winsgewende organisasie wat ‘n proffessionele diens lewer aan terminaal siek pasiënte in hul laaste lewensfase.

ALGEMEEN: Hospice Tzaneen is nou presies 1 jaar onder nuwe bestuur. Dit is vir my ‘n voorreg om al die lede van die Raad van Direkteure te bedank vir volgehoue ondersteuning hierdie jaar – deur moeilike en maklike tye. Baie dankie aan Tesourier Rona Viljoen, Sekretaresse Elna Fourie, Addisionele lede Dr Frits Visser, Johan Cloete en Margaret Garrett. Ons het daarin geslaag om 2 sake wat wederregtelik teen ons aanhangig gemaak is by die CCMA, met sukses te bestry. Ons het baie komplimente ontvang vir die wyse waarop ons te werk gaan – op die gebiede van fondsinsameling, finansies, hantering van pasiënte, onderskraging van familielede. Ons as Hospice Tzaneen Raad van Direkteure besef dat dit nie met ons goed sal gaan as ons nie ten volle vertrou op die krag en genade van ons Hemelse Vader nie. Dit dra ons deur elke dag. Mag elkeen van u hierdie Christusfees opnuut weer die genade, vrede, vreugde en liefde van God beleef. ‘n Nuwe jaar gevul met voorspoed word u elkeen toegebid.

She will show the men a thing or two... Boxing may be a sport for men, but Ndzalama Maluleke of Vandezia near Makhado would take a bull out of a man if she is challenged in the ring. According to Giyani Boxing Club’s promoter, Emmanuel Mutavhatsindi, she is as fast as lightning when it comes to punching. “Here we have a champ in waiting. I can assure you that if she gets one or two fights, she can easily climb to the top,” he said. According to him, it was very easy for ladies to be promoted to another level. “She does not need more than two fights to be rated. So if she could get a fight now, it means next year she would be rated, making her eligible to challenge for a belt,” Ndzalama Maluleke he said. being trained by the He is currently training her for the upcom- boxing club promoter ing boxing tournament in Thohoyandou on and trainer, Emmanuel Mutavhatsindi. 15 December. “She’s going to fight in that tournament, and that’s where her boxing career will show some direction,” he said. The 21 year old said she developed an interest in boxing last year when she saw some guys training in her village. “I asked if I could train with them, but they laughed at me at first, until they realised later that I was serious and allowed me to train with them,” she said. Maluleke said she has gotten used to the men’s attitudes and does not care anymore how men thought of her. “I know that everyone thinks I’m a woman in a man’s world, but I’m just a boxer doing the sport I love and nothing can stop me. Anyone that stands in my way will lose their teeth, man or woman, I don’t care,” she added. Maluleke urges other women to take part in sport since the government has relaxed the law governing sporting codes. “Unlike in the past, women are now allowed to take part in sports formerly known as men’s sport. I don’t see any reason why a woman should be staying at home doing nothing,” she said. Orlando Chauke news@bulletin.us.com

Lou-Maré verwerf die Simpson en Lottering wen gesogde tweede plek in Pretoria groen en goud Dit het goed met die span van Simpson Motors by die onlangse SA Earthworks All Tar Tydren in Pretoria gegaan. Die span, Eddie Simpson en navigator Marco Lottering in hul Opel Corsa, het tweede in Klas S1 en algeheel tiende uit 41 deelnemers geëindig.

Lou-Maré Geldenhuys, ’n oud-Ben Vorster-netbalspeler, is vandeesweek vir haar jarelange harde werk op die netbalbaan beloon, toe sy vir die Proteas se o.19-span gekies is. Die span het Woensdag na Zambië vertrek, om aan die Afrika Sone 6-spele deel te neem. Geldenhuys het op skool reeds getoon dat sy oor baie talent beskik en volgens haar ma, me Charmaine Beetge, is sy steeds nederig en dankbaar vir die geleentheid wat haar te beurt geval het. Beetge het ook ’n groot rol in die nuwe Protea se loopbaan gespeel. Sy is vir tien jaar al by die afrigting van netbal by die Hoërskool Ben Vorster betrokke en haar dogter het dus onder haar bekwame toesig aan haar talent geslyp. Beetge is ook onlangs as ’n nasionale keurder van SA Skolenetbal aangewys, en beklee die ondervoorsitterspos van skolenetbal in Limpopo. Jean Aucamp jean@bulletin.us.com
